Chapter 213 - Win Back Your Mom's Heart
“It's not your child. Who confessed to it?” Ultimately, he still took Shang Mingming and didn't allow Mu Sifa to hold him.
Mu Sifa didn't insist on taking him back because the current Shang Cijie was no longer the same as before. He couldn't intimidate him or be too harsh; it would only have a negative impact.
“I don't acknowledge it either. Who would accept a father like you? When I grow up, I'll find a new husband for Xiaojie to keep him away from you.”
Shang Mingming made a funny face at Mu Sifa, then put his hands on his hips and snorted. He looked adorable and proud.
“If they ever try to take your mother away, I won't hesitate to stand up against them.” Ye Zichen didn't get angry, even after playfully rubbing Shang Mingming's head.
Shang Mingming's face immediately turned red because he couldn't resist Mu Sifa's hand on his head.
Darn it! This father of mine keeps disrupting my rhythm and trying to win me over with his lousy charm.
“It's quite late; you should go take a bath as well! I'll take the little one first.”
After patting Shang Mingming, he gave Shang Cijie a gentle head rub and then carried Shang Mingming back into his arms.
Similar to Shang Mingming, Shang Cijie was completely defenseless against Mu Sifa's actions. His face blushed slightly.
However, he also swatted Mu Sifa's hand in annoyance, saying, “Don't touch me, stay away from me.” He walked into the bathroom, pretending to be composed.
Mu Sifa's mood was somewhat dampened as he felt hurt.
Shang Mingming observed all of this. At that moment, he realized that his parents had a telepathic connection. It's just that the situation from five years ago remained unresolved.
“Do you like Xiaojie?” Shang Mingming stopped being noisy and looked up at Mu Sifa with a serious expression.
Mu Sifa lifted him up, smiled, and kissed him, “I don't just like him, I love him deeply.”
Love. Is that it? So, that's the way it is! Does it imply that my affection for it exceeds my affection for something else?
“Then why did you upset Xiaojie earlier? You have only yourself to blame for irritating Xiaojie. It's too late for you to try and appease him now. Xiaojie won't forgive you,” Shang Mingming muttered, his mouth twitching unhappily.
“In the past, Dad was not mature enough and didn't know how to get along with your mom. I didn't realize I would inadvertently hurt him with something I said.”
Mu Sifa was in a state of introspection and didn't come up with an excuse for himself.
“It's good that you recognize your mistakes,” Ye Zichen snorted, but he secretly felt pleased because Mu Sifa acknowledged his wrongdoing.
“So, do you intend to help Dad win back your mom's affection?” Shang Mingming in his usual manner.
“No way, you need to clean up your own mess. Besides, I'm on Xiaojie's side, so I won't assist you. Don't try to butter me up! Your efforts won't sway me; I won't lend you a hand,” Shang Mingming declared his stance.
Mu Sifa didn't actually expect Shang Mingming to help; he simply asked. Nevertheless, Shang Mingming's response warmed his heart because it showed his genuine protectiveness toward his mother.
“Can you update me on how your mom has been in recent years? Has she suffered injustice? Has she been mistreated? Is there someone she's fond of?”
When he posed the latter part of the question, Mu Sifa's emotions became complex and uneasy. His greatest fear was that Shang Cijie might fall for another man and instruct him to take the child and leave.
“Of course there is! You're the one who caused his suffering and mistreatment!” Shang Mingming replied nonchalantly, sounding indifferent but keenly observing Mu Sifa's reaction.
Seeing Mu Sifa's expression darken, he crossed his arms over his chest and added, “I may not know if there's someone he's fond of, but countless men pursue Xiaojie, so you're not needed.”
