Chapter 289: He Must Be the First Person To Be Tricked By His Son (1)

Mu Jingzhe urged them to leave, feeling that it was quite awkward to stay with the two of them. On the other hand, Xiao Wu and Shao Xi successfully stayed by Mu Jingzhe’s side.

Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang: “…”

Why were they suddenly a little envious of the two children?

How could they not be envious? Compared to them, Mu Jingzhe was much more enthusiastic with Xiao Wu and Shao Xi. She’d even hugged them.

Shao Qihai didn’t sleep much that night. He went over right after the sky turned bright, but he didn’t wake Ji Buwang up.

The sun rose early in the summer, so it was still very early when he arrived. However, Shao Dong had already woken up. As soon as Shao Qihai saw Shao Dong, he quickly went over.

“Little Dong.” Shao Qihai walked over and stroked the hair that was sticking up on the back of his head. “Why are you awake so early? Did you not sleep well? Are there mosquitoes?”

“No, I just woke up to use the toilet. Dad, why are you here so early?”

“I wanted to buy you guys some breakfast, but I didn’t want Ji Buwang to beat me to it,” Shao Qihai said honestly.

“Then I’ll come with you later. But Mommy and the rest haven’t woken up yet. We’ll buy breakfast when they wake up.”

“Mm.” Shao Qihai sat on the threshold with Shao Dong and whispered, “Little Dong, does your mommy usually interact with guys like the one we saw yesterday?”

“That’s right. Mommy follows Little Bei around these days. Besides, she comes in contact with many people since she’s in the business of making custom-made formal wear. She definitely meets many Best Actors and Best Actresses.”

Shao Qihai felt even more uncertain when he heard that. He tried to negotiate with Shao Dong. “Little Dong, your mommy is serious about her work, but in the future, in situations like the one last night, you can help her take the measurements.”

“Mommy measured him quite well.” Shao Dong played dumb.

“Little Dong, you know what I mean. I just want you to help keep an eye on her. One Ji Buwang is enough. If another person shows up and likes your mommy, won’t your mommy and I really get a divorce?”

Previously, the five kids had agreed to help Shao Qihai. One could say that they had agreed to help him pursue Mu Jingzhe, but later on, there simply hadn’t been a chance at all. First, there were the exams. Then, Mu Jingzhe had taken Little Bei out and they had been directly separated.

“It wasn’t easy for me to come here. Little Dong, you have to help me.”

“Alright, I understand.” Shao Dong nodded in agreement, making Shao Qihai heave a sigh of relief.

Soon, Shao Qihai realized that he had heaved a sigh of relief too early. Just as Shao Dong finished speaking, the big sister next door also woke up. When she saw Shao Dong, she said, “The photos have been developed. I can bring them to you right here.”

The neighbors Mu Jingzhe and the kids lived near owned a photo studio, so the photos had been developed in the woman’s house. Shao Dong took the photos. “Thank you, Auntie.”

“I’ll take a look too.” At the mention of photos, Shao Qihai’s eyes lit up. He went to take the photos from Shao Dong’s hand. Shao Dong’s hand paused. Just as he was about to say something, Shao Qihai opened the envelope excitedly.

“You guys took a lot of photos, right? It’s good to take more photos. You can look at them in the future…” Shao Qihai sat back and took the photos out of the paper bag. Then, he saw the photo Mu Jingzhe and Shen Han had taken together.

Mu Jingzhe was beaming very happily at the camera. She was even wearing a lovely red dress. Beside her, Shen Han was wearing a shirt and looking at Mu Jingzhe. The image had been captured beautifully, and the two of them looked especially compatible. Those who didn’t know would think that it was a photo of a newlywed couple.

Shao Qihai looked at the next photo. It was another photo of Mu Jingzhe and Shen Han. This time, Shen Han also looked ahead. They were still very compatible. The place where they had taken the photo seemed to be a hotel. There was even a table in front of them.

The more he looked at the photos, the more it looked like they had been taken when the two of them had gotten married. Furthermore, they looked like pictures of a wedding banquet. Shao Qihai immediately had a heart attack.

“Little Dong, what’s up with these photos?”

“They’re just photos of the two of them.” Shao Dong glanced at them with an innocent gaze.

“I know they are photos. Why would they take a photo together? Besides, this is a dining establishment, right?”

“That’s right. It’s a place where Mommy likes to eat very much. She also likes Best Actor Shen Han and Brother Bai a lot, so they ate and took photos together. Look, it even led to a business deal for Mommy yesterday.”

Shao Qihai didn’t know if he should heave a sigh of relief. “Did your mother invite them, or did they invite your mother?”

Shao Dong paused for a moment. “I invited them. Mommy likes them, so I invited them.”

Shao Qihai’s mind was instantly filled with question marks. “Why did you invite them? Little Dong, I don’t quite understand.”

Shao Dong blinked. “Because Mommy likes them a lot. They act well and look good. I like them too, so since an opportunity arose, we ate together.”

It sounded normal, but Shao Qihai still felt strange. “This… This is also…”

Shao Dong didn’t say anything else, but Shao Qihai felt particularly bad. “Little Dong, although I know you don’t mean anything else by it, I don’t think such a thing should happen again. Otherwise, others will misunderstand and think that your mother is up to no good.”

“How can that be? It was just a meal.”

“It’s not about the meal. What if that person develops feelings for her while they’re eating…”

Wasn’t dating freely all about eating, watching movies, and dating in the park? They couldn’t keep eating together.

Shao Qihai’s mind was a mess. The two of them were focused on talking when a voice suddenly came from behind them.

“Dad, are you worried that Mommy will fall in love with them? It’s fine. Even if she falls for someone, we’ll think of a way to make that guy fall in love with Mommy.”

Shao Qihai was startled. He turned around and saw Shao Xi squatting behind him.

Shao Xi stroked his chin and yawned as he told Shao Dong, “Big Brother, just tell Daddy. We promised Mommy that we would help her get whoever she likes in the future.”

Shao Dong frowned. “Why didn’t you say anything when you got up? Why were you squatting behind us?”

“I saw you guys huddled together mysteriously and thought you were whispering secrets to each other, so I came to listen.” Shao Xi squeezed his way forward and sat beside them.

Shao Qihai couldn’t care less. His mind was filled with what Shao Xi had said just now. “Little Xi, what did you mean by what you said just now?”

“I was speaking literally. Back then, we misunderstood and thought that you had found someone else, and Mommy treated us very well, so we promised her that we would find someone more handsome than you for her and we’d get her whoever she liked. This time, I saw that she quite liked Best Actor Shen Han and Bai Bai. Eldest Brother and I had a discussion before arranging a date to eat with Best Actor Shen and Bai Bai.”

Shao Qihai: “???”

He then said in disbelief, “No, Little Xi, that was before. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up and I’m still here, I’m Jingzhe’s husband. I’m your father. We’re not even divorced yet. You should help me. You guys promised to help me previously.”

“Didn’t you already sign the divorce agreement?” Shao Xi tilted his head. “We agreed that you and Mommy would be free in the future.”

Shao Qihai was stunned. Shao Dong hit Shao Xi and explained, “Daddy, although Little Xi is right, don’t think too much about it. Mommy didn’t do much. She just had a meal with someone, that was all.. If she really falls for someone in the future, she’ll definitely get a divorce first.”
