One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 415: Quarrel, Difference of Opinion

Xiao Beibei suddenly felt a bit aggrieved, but his little face was still full of stubbornness, "If I don’t eat, I don’t eat. Who cares!"After saying that, his small hand picked up the schoolbag on the sofa, and he walked away, his chubby silhouette looking inexplicably a bit lonely...

Song Song suddenly felt slightly soft-hearted. Was she perhaps too harsh just now?

But she thought that while being smart is indeed good, if not educated properly, it’s easy to go astray, especially for sensitive kids like Bao Bei...

She truly believed she should guide him well, rather than let him grow recklessly on his own.

At this moment, the infant in her arms let out a low cry, and she could only focus on taking care of Little Xiyou first, unable to worry about Bao Bei’s feelings.

Xiao Jinghuai had been out for a long time, only returning around dinner, and when dining, he glanced at the seat belonging to Bao Bei beside him, furrowing his sword eyebrows and asked, "Where’s Bao Bei?"

The matter with Lin Man dampened Song Song’s appetite, and she paused the chopsticks poking the rice, saying, "He said some things he shouldn’t have when he got back from school today, so I punished him to reflect in his room and won’t let him out for dinner until he admits his mistake."

Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes darkened slightly, his expression somewhat displeased as he put down his chopsticks and got up, saying, "I’ll go check on him."

After Xiao Jinghuai left, Sister-in-law Zhou, standing beside, worriedly said, "Young Madam, it seems the master is a bit angry."

"He’s always been fond of Bao Bei, and Bao Bei has never been punished like this growing up. You’re going too far..."

Song Song interrupted coldly, "Precisely because of this, Bao Bei has become so unruly and disrespectful. I don’t think I did anything wrong; I’m just trying my best to teach the child well."

Sister-in-law Zhou was momentarily intimidated by this aura and didn’t know how to speak. No matter how much the master trusted her, she was just a servant, and teasing the master occasionally depended on their mood, right?

Seems today wasn’t the right time.

Moreover, she discovered in recent days that the amnesiac Young Madam seemed like a different person from before memory loss.

In truth, Song Song was puzzled all along; exactly whose child is Bao Bei, Xiao Jinghuai’s?

Perhaps he had a beloved woman in the past, who left a Bao Bei after falling ill and passing away, hence his care for him...

Or maybe Bao Bei is his and his first love’s love child, and due to family status, they couldn’t last, so he indulges Bao Bei out of regret...

Or perhaps...

Too many possibilities.

Song Song thought that if she kept thinking about it, she could brainstorm a heart-wrenching romance novel.

So she immediately forced herself not to overthink, not to guess wildly, believing that one day he would tell her about Bao Bei himself.

Very soon, Xiao Jinghuai returned and without saying a word, sat back down and picked up his chopsticks, coldly saying, "Continue eating!"

Song Song already had little appetite, and now she really wanted to check how Little Xiyou was doing, so naturally, she got up from her seat, "I’m full. You eat; I’ll go see Xiyou."

"Regarding that child, I don’t agree to you raising her."

"..."

Song Song froze, turning around to look at the man eating slowly, "Why?"

Xiao Jinghuai stated matter-of-factly, "Even if Xu Lang is unreliable, Lin Man still has her parents, who are the child’s grandparents. I think it’s more suitable for those two elders to raise her. You’re unrelated to Lin Man, so don’t get involved!"

"Involved?" Song Song sat back down again, excitedly saying, "I don’t think this is getting involved. I named Little Xiyou, and Lin Man’s parents haven’t acknowledged her for a long time. Do you think they willingly would raise another little infant?"

"Even if they are willing, they physically can’t handle carefully taking care of a child. I don’t feel comfortable letting them take Little Xiyou."

"Song Song." Xiao Jinghuai suddenly put down his chopsticks, "Don’t you think you’re too attached to that child?"

Sister-in-law Zhou saw the situation turning sour and cheerfully said, "Young Madam, you and the master chat first, I will go see Little Xiyou, don’t worry, I’ll take care of her. Take your time talking."

Song Song didn’t want to argue with Xiao Jinghuai, so she tried to stay calm, explaining, "Do you think adopting Little Xiyou is an impulsive act on my part?"

"No, I know you’ve considered it seriously, but I don’t agree with this approach. If you have so much energy, perhaps focus on getting along well with Bao Bei, and avoid situations where you use punishment on a child!"

Song Song’s heart suddenly chilled; in the end, he was angry because he cared too much about Bao Bei’s feelings...

In his perspective, making Bao Bei reflect and not eat dinner until he finished was a form of corporal punishment?

Song Song sighed, eyes welling up with tears, "Xiao Jinghuai, I’m very tired, I don’t want to argue with you. Think what you want about Bao Bei’s matter!"

After speaking, she stood up and left, not knowing why they suddenly argued, when they were loving not long ago.

Perhaps it was just her one-sided thinking that their relationship was heating up.

Song Song went to the master bedroom and saw Sister-in-law Zhou coaxing Xiyou to sleep, who quietly said upon seeing her, "Young Madam, I fed Little Xiyou some milk powder earlier, she’s already asleep."

"Would you like to hold her?"

"Uh... Sister-in-law Zhou, could you watch her for a while longer? I want to check on Bao Bei."

Sister-in-law Zhou nodded with a smile, "Mm, okay."

Then Song Song arrived at Bao Bei’s room door. She was about to knock when she remembered he hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so she headed to the kitchen to grab some food and brought it to the room door...

Raised her hand to knock.

After knocking for a while and no response, Song Song tried twisting the doorknob and was surprised the door wasn’t locked, so she pushed it open...

Inside, she saw a lump raised on the small bed, obviously the little guy burrowed in the bedding.

Placing the food on the nearby desk, she then sat at the bedside, wanting to pull the bedding back a bit, but the little guy wasn’t willing, wriggling his little body like a silkworm to roll tighter.

"Bao Bei, Little Xiyou is Teacher Lin’s daughter, who is now... gone. So I think to keep Little Xiyou, would you like to have a sister?"

"..."

"I apologize for my attitude before, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have corrected you by not letting you have dinner. Can you forgive me?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel_fіre.net

"..."

Still no response.

Having no choice, Song Song had to give up, tapping the little mound, "I’ve placed the food on the desk, remember to get up and eat, don’t go hungry."

When she was about to leave, Xiao Beibei suddenly uncovered the bedding, looking at her with big eyes, slightly embarrassed and asked, "Is Little Xiyou ugly?"

"If she’s ugly, she can’t be my sister."
