"Lu Yifeng! Explain!" Xia ilin growled at him.
Lu Yifeng stretched his lips into a thin line as he looked at his wife. Why was she looking so angry at him? Weren’t they doing well earlier?
He turned to Little lon who was crying in his mother’s arms. Was it because he didn’t buy the music box earlier? Was Little lon able to see through his lie?
When Lu Yifeng remained silent, Little lon turned to him and pouted.
Lu Yifeng saw a flash of mischief in Little lon’s eyes... he was faking his cries! Such boy... when did he learn to act well?
"Mr. Lu?" Xia ilin narrowed her eyes.
What should Lu Yifeng say? No matter how he looks at it, Xia ilin wouldn’t believe him.
Lu Yifeng stood up and went to stand behind Xia ilin. He placed his hands on her shoulders and started massaging her there while he looked down at his son. The way Lu Yifeng looked at Little lon was like a mighty and dangerous looking lion.
Little lon furrowed his brows. Although Lu Yifeng looked like a mighty lion, Little lon refused to back down since he has his mother on his side. He looked like a little cub, growling back to the mighty lion.
Xia ilin noticed the tension between the two. She couldn’t help but wonder what was wrong with the two of them. One mont, Little lon was crying, the next mont, he was looking like he was about to attack his father.
They suddenly heard the doorbell and because of this, Xia ilin took that chance to escape the two. "I will go get it."
"No. Let go get it." Lu Yifeng said before he turned away and walked towards the door.
Xia ilin sighed. She turned to Little lon and stroked his hair before she touched his cheeks and wiped them dry. "Baby, tell , what happened?"
Little lon pouted. "Dada... was a anie... llo asked dada to buy a music box, but dada ignored ."
She blinked a few tis. They were fighting just because of that?
"llo is mad at momma too! Momma should have let llo join the bubble bath!"
She smiled a bit as she scratched her cheek with a finger. What kind of excuse should she tell him? She looked at him and held his cheeks with both hands. She leaned and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "How about this? We can have a bubble bath tonight. Do you want that?"
Little lon puffed out his cheeks in an adorable manner as he stared at his mother. If that was her offer, then... "llo will forgive momma."
"Thank you, sweetheart." She lightly pecked his forehead. "How about daddy?"
Little lon crossed his arms and looked away. "Hmpf. Dada can wait."
"You shouldn’t spoil him, ilin." Lu Yifeng said as he entered the room.
Xia ilin turned to him, "I’m not spoiling him." She quickly denied.
Lu Yifeng took a glance at Little lon before he went to his seat. "You are."
"I’m not." She huffed. "By the way, who was that at the door earlier?"
"Su Lei."
"Oh." Xia ilin didn’t bother asking why since she was sure that it was about work again. She turned to Little lon and patted his head. "Let’s eat, shall we?"
Lu Yifeng stared at the two and sighed. What can he do against his wife and son? Was he the one spoiling them?
...
After their lunch, Little lon went to the bedroom to get one of his toys from the toy box but then, sothing caught his attention. There was a paper bag on top of the bed.
As a curious child, Little lon wanted to know what was in it. He took the paper bag and peeked inside. His eyes went wide when he saw the music box that he saw earlier. He quickly took it out and look at it in awe.
Lu Yifeng was watching his son admire the music box. He was leaning against the doorpost with his arms crossed.
The music box started playing the piece ’Canon’ and it resounded throughout the whole room with its beautiful and clear sound.
"Is that what he wanted to buy earlier?" Xia ilin asked as she stood beside Lu Yifeng.
"Mm."
Little lon placed the music box on the bed before he got off the bed and run toward his father. "Thank you, dada!" He hugged his father’s leg happily.
Lu Yifeng patted his son’s head. "Next ti, if you want sothing, you should say it out loud."
"llo doesn’t have to say it since dada already knows what I want just by looking at llo." He grinned at him.
"You cheeky boy." He ruffled his head. Although Lu Yifeng has his usual blank look on his face, the gentleness in his eyes can be seen.
"Now that all is fine between you two, Xiao Gua, it’s ti for our afternoon nap."
Little lon tilted his head to the side while looking adorably at his mother. "... ’Our’?"
"I’m going to join you," said Xia ilin with a smile on her lips. She walked towards the bed and took the music box. She returned the music box inside the paper bag before she placed it on top of the bedside drawer.
