Zhixi's face turned a bright red and she glared fiercely at her own son!
"...Children don't know any better, spouting nonsense. You don't take it to heart." She attempted to explain, her face still burning hot.
"I wasn't talking nonsense at all." Xiaobao hummed unhappily, "Mom, don't you want the three of us to live together?"
Zhixi was left speechless.
"...What time is it now? You should go to sleep!" Full of frustration, she took it out on her son, "Hurry up, or you won't get any snacks tomorrow!"
The little guy pouted unhappily.
He Jingyao glanced at a certain woman annoyed and embarrassed, then put Xiaobao into the bed: "You sleep tight. Daddy promises to follow through with what he said, okay?"
That finally made him happy, and he nodded obediently, extending his little finger: "Pinky promise."
He Jingyao went through the motion of locking fingers with him, then tucked him in properly.
