Chapter 328 – Interlude (2)
That didn’t seem to bother Lu Beichuan a bit. “You don’t need to worry about a thing, Fourth Great-uncle. Don’t worry. Grandpa had given the Lu’s Corporation to me, and I promise I shall not let him down.”
With Old Master Lu gone, Fourth Great-uncle was the highest in authority. Lu Beichuan belonged to the grandchildren’s generation. As far as Fourth Great-uncle was concerned, Lu Beichuan’s words carried no weight whatsoever. Being talked back to by him made Fourth Great-uncle very unhappy.
“Rubbish!”
A servant came running over and said urgently, “Young Master, Young Madam had me come and fetch you. She said that Little Young Master is ill and have you go take a look.”
Lu Beichuan frowned and said, “I will be right over.”
Having said that, Lu Beichuan ditched the group of elderlies who were trying to pull their elderly cards and walked briskly toward the backyard.
When Lu Beichuan pushed open the room door, he could hear very energetic sounds coming from Zhouzhou. Lu Beichuan felt a sense of relief immediately.
“They told me that Zhouzhou isn’t feeling well, what’s the matter?”
Ye Zhen was trying to help Zhouzhou, who was still rolling around in bed, change. No matter what she said or did, he refused to get out of bed. She finally tossed his clothes to Lu Beichuan and said to him, “I can’t do this. I don’t know where he picks up this illness called laziness from. You are the father; you do it.”
Lu Beichuan wasn’t sure what to make of it when he had Zhouzhou’s clothes in his hand. Walking over to the child’s bed, he could see a little lump underneath the blanket, leaving no gaps to even breath.
“Lu Zhifei” was all Lu Beichuan had to say when the lump rocked under the blanket and a little hairy head popped out. Looking up at his father, the child said in a mistreated tone, “Daddy.”
Zhouzhou had always been very well-behaved when he was around Lu Beichuan.
Lu Beichuan pulled the blanket off of him, scooped him up from bed, and asked, “Why didn’t you listen to your Mommy?”
Zhouzhou cocked his head, thought for a little while, and replied very matter-of-factly, “Baobao needs his sleep.”
“You sleep at night. It’s daytime now. Who said you can roll around in bed in the daytime?”
With a very mistreated look, Zhouzhou said to Lu Beichuan, “But… Uncle said that Baobao is still a baby and can sleep for a long time, as long as I want.”
“Uncle? Which uncle?”
“You know… the uncle who gave Baobao his toy!”
Zhouzhou was referring to Lu Shaoyan.
Lu Beichuan turned to look at Ye Zhen, “When did that happen?”
Ye Zhen rested her palm on her forehead, disturbed. “When we first got here.”
Lu Beichuan dressed him, and Zhouzhou cooperated with him reluctantly.
“Do you like this uncle?”
Zhouzhou nodded with no hesitation. “I do! Uncle said that he will buy Baobao lots and lots of toys in the future!”
Ye Zhen frowned a little and said, “Lu Zhifei, you are already 2 years old. You are a big kid now and not a 1-year-old child anymore. Didn’t you promise Mommy that you want to grow up into a real man? Toys are for little kids. Are you still a kid?”
“No! Baobao is a real man!” said Zhouzhou loudly, air whistling through the gaps of his missing teeth.
Ye Zhen nodded. “Real men should play with real man toys. The ones that Uncle had bought you are for little kids. We don’t want those. Mommy will buy you toys for real men later on, okay?”
“Okay!”
Ye Zhen stroked Zhouzhou on his little head. She was very pleased that she was able to trick her silly little son.
Lu Beichuan chuckled and shook his head.
With Zhouzhou finally dressed properly, the servant had brought over breakfast. Lu Beichuan carried him over to the dinner table and scooped out a bowl of porridge for him after he washed his face and brushed his teeth.
