Chapter 1943 There's Always a Purpose Behind Emotional Sentimentality
Shen Xi reasonably suspected that Cai Bao might not lose even if she fought against a boy five or six years older than her.
Moreover, she always fights if she can win, and runs away faster than anyone else if she can't. This little girl also lacks martial ethics; she's extremely good at calling in reinforcements, and she calls in precise numbers—you can imagine the sheer number of people she summons.
Add to that her troublemaking nature and bad luck, sigh. Before, Chen Chuan could joke with her about having a second child, but now he gets angry as soon as the topic comes up.
One is enough; he can't handle another one.
Sister Caibao has almost single-handedly turned herself into an only child.
Therefore, she is practically invincible.
The invincible little one is currently nestled in his father's arms, whimpering softly.
After drying her off, Chen Chuan wrapped her in a bath towel, patted her back, and comforted her gently, without pressing her for answers.
After a while, Treasure muttered, "It was the little duck that wanted to come out and play, and it knocked over the bucket."
Very well, children don't lie, but they do talk nonsense.
But Chen Chuan is a very supportive father.
"Then we need to tell the duck that this is wrong."
"Look, the bucket has tipped over, and the bathroom is all dirty. Dad will have to clean it for a long time, and Mom will have to boil water for you again."
Caibao lowered his head.
"Most importantly, what if you hurt yourself?"
Caibao pouted: "That little duck is so naughty!!"
Hmm, wouldn't it break if the pot was that big?
Although he didn't witness it firsthand, Chen Chuan could deduce how his daughter had fallen. He told Caibao, "From now on, you're not allowed to do anything dangerous while taking a bath, understand?"
"Grandpa worked very hard to collect those herbs, so you should respect his hard work."
Caibao said softly, "Dad works very hard boiling water too."
"Um, so what?"
"So, Dad, if you fight with Mom in the future, can you fight in front of me? That way I won't fall down."
Chen Chuan:......
"We didn't fight."
"Oh, Mom will hit you."
"My mother didn't hit me either."
Treasure did not believe him and looked at him.
"Mom really didn't hit me." This needs to be made clear to the daughter: "Dad and Mom don't fight because that's wrong."
"Oh, so I saw you pinning Mom down earlier..."
"Alright, that's enough." Chen Chuan was relieved once again that his daughter had already been assigned a separate room.
You never know, a cunning little girl, waking up in the middle of the night, doesn't cry or make a fuss, she quietly... watches...
Don't assume that children are too young to understand. When they grow up and recall a moment from deep within their memories, oh ho, you'll be just like Chen Chuan now.
Fortunately, he has thick skin.
"Mom and Dad didn't fight, we were... building a relationship."
Shen Xi was about to come over, but when she heard the father and daughter talking about such an in-depth topic, she felt that she was not suitable to participate, so she quickly stepped aside. However, her curiosity was piqued, and she wanted to hear how Chen Chuan would handle this awkward moment.
Peek out and eavesdrop.
Chen Chuan glanced at his wife, feeling utterly helpless.
Isn't it usually the mother who explains this to the daughter, and the father who takes care of the son?
Why are they... so unusual?
Caibao's eyes darted around, and he suddenly realized: "Are you guys having a younger brother for me?"
Does she know too much?
Chen Chuan asked her, "Do you want a younger brother?"
“Hmm…” Treasure hadn’t considered this question.
But she knew what it would be like to have a younger brother. Zihan had a younger brother, and Ayue had a younger brother. One of them was doing well, while the other was not as well off as before.
She also overheard the grandmothers in the neighborhood teasing A-Yue, saying that her parents had a younger brother and didn't want her anymore.
Caibao asked his father, "If you have a younger brother, will you still want me?"
Shen Xi's heart ached instantly.
She was born into a family that favored sons over daughters, and she knew all too well the vulnerability and sadness that girls experience in this regard.
Chen Chuan didn't answer his daughter immediately, but instead asked her, "What do you think?"
Without hesitation, Caibao replied, "Of course not! I'm my mom and dad's little darling. You love me the most, how could you not want me?"
"Hmm, so you asked that on purpose to avoid Mom scolding you, right?"
Caibao wasn't embarrassed at all when her little scheme was exposed. She chuckled and said, "Dad, you're so smart, you must have very few friends, right?"
"Pfft!"
Shen Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The father and daughter turned to look at each other at the same time, and their similar faces made Shen Xi's heart melt with sweetness.
These are the two most important people in her life; nothing and no one in this world can compare to them.
Since she had been discovered, she simply walked over and sat down next to Chen Chuan.
Caibao immediately rushed into his mother's arms.
Shen Xi stroked her sea urchin fur, kissed her, and told her, "Sweetie, don't do such dangerous things again, okay?"
Chen Chuan specially commissioned a thickened and widened wooden tub made of special wood to prevent his daughter from doing such a thing, because the effect of soaking in a bathtub is not as good as this.
As it turned out, they underestimated the treasure's curiosity and... weight.
If she can overturn such a heavy wooden barrel, is there any mountain in this world that she can't climb?
No.
Caibao blinked, not immediately agreeing, which meant he was unwilling.
Shen Xi reached out and gently stroked her back, telling her, "No matter if Mom and Dad have more children, we will always love you the same. That will never change, okay?"
"Yes, I love you all too."
“But—” Shen Xi lifted the bath towel, grinning at Cai Bao, “Your bottom will still get a spanking, don’t think I didn’t see it just because you’re lying there!!”
broken!
Caibao jumped up and tried to run away, but Shen Xi was prepared and there was no way to escape. She grabbed her daughter's shoulder, pressed her down on her knee, and reached out with a "smack".
Caibao looked at her mother in disbelief: "You really hit me?"
"What else? You brat!! Who told you to play with my lipstick again??"
Chen Chuan rubbed his forehead, silently got up, and went to the kitchen to check the fire. At this moment, it was better for him not to join the mother and daughter's fight, otherwise, he might easily become an innocent bystander.
Caibao quickly smiled ingratiatingly: "I'll just use it for a bit, I'll return it to you when I'm done."
"Use them? Are you going to put them in water?"
Ten lipsticks in total, all ruined by this naughty child. Not only did she draw turtles, sunflowers and other flowers all over the tub wall, but she also threw a few lipsticks into the tub because she probably didn't like the colors.
You can throw it away if you want, but you finished drawing it before throwing it away, without even putting the lid on. You can imagine how serious the loss must have been.
After the little guy knocked over the bucket, he even tried to use his "huge" body to block it...
Can you even stop her? She's so fleshy!
