Chapter 181 - My Dad Is An Asshole!!!
“Ah! I see now! So, it's the person who resembles Uncle!”
Shang Mingming gently tapped his chin with his fingertips, appearing lost in thought.
“Where is the person Uncle is fond of currently? Is he with Uncle?” He continued his questions without any haste or impatience, as if casually inquiring. His gaze darted around, and he observed the peculiar and clever Gu Ling.
Mu Sifa didn't offer a direct response. Instead, he affectionately tousled Shang Mingming's hair and smiled, “Kids shouldn't ask so many questions, you know?”
Shang Mingming instantly pouted, retorting, “Am I not a child? I'm nearly five years old, you know.”
“He's still a child,” Ye Zichen remarked with a smile, carrying Shang Mingming into the elevator.
“Mr. Moyu said that only three-year-olds can be called children. I'm already four and a half, so I'm not a child.”
He displayed a strong sense of dissatisfaction, asserting his age firmly. He even appeared somewhat miffed with Mu Sifa, sporting a serious expression.
“He must have misled you.” Mu Sifa maintained his cheerful demeanor but didn't delve into age calculations. He certainly didn't connect Shang Mingming with Shang Cijie, unaware of Shang Cijie's unique constitution.
His reasoning was straightforward. He had no knowledge of Shang Cijie's extraordinary physiology, nor did he assume that the Shang Mingming before him could be his son.
“Mr. Moyu wouldn't deceive me. Mr. Moyu said I'm already a little grown-up and can protect ‘mom.'”
Shang Mingming's reference to “mom” naturally pointed to Shang Cijie.
“Your mother must be delighted! You already understand the concept of protecting at such a young age.”
Mu Sifa merely shared his thoughts without ulterior motives, finding Shang Mingming exceptionally sensible.
Unexpectedly, Shang Mingming flashed a mischievous smile at him and quipped, “Well, I have a naughty father, so I need to protect my mom!”
Witnessing Mu Sifa's unreserved laughter was quite dazzling. However, Mu Sifa's inner thoughts remained a mystery.
At that moment, Mu Sifa felt that Shang Mingming was actually scolding him.
Could it be that I made an error?
Mu Sifa felt bewildered, yet there was no doubt that Shang Mingming was indeed directing criticism at him.
“Uncle, do you like children? Do you like them?” He asked enthusiastically, his eyes shimmering.
“I can't say I like them. It depends on whose child they are.”
“I get it now! That's why you like me, right, Uncle?” A look of understanding crossed Shang Mingming's face.
Mu Sifa was perplexed because he didn't quite grasp Shang Mingming's intent.
This child is more mature than I anticipated! His words are also rather enigmatic. Is there a hidden meaning, or is it simply his personality?
“The person who was with you earlier, was that your mother?”
Despite asking, Mu Sifa harbored doubts, as it didn't seem likely.
“No! That's my big dad's subordinate, the one who returned to protect my mom.”
“Daddy?” Mu Sifa was baffled, only later realizing that some people referred to their uncles as “dads.”
“Is it your father or your mother who will come to pick you up later?”
Shang Mingming, the one being questioned, tilted his head and remembered that Xiaojie was his mother, right? But Xiaojie was also a man!
“Both father and mother,” Shang Mingming eventually replied.
Mu Sifa believed that Shang Mingming might not fully comprehend these titles, so he chuckled, “Daddy is daddy; it can't be Mommy.”
Shang Mingming grinned mischievously, “Uncle will find out soon. Don't be scared!” He appeared to be plotting something.
