Chapter 257: Chen Chenan always thought: Daddy’s really petty (1)

The more grown-up Chen Chenan was, the naughtier he got. Except for the times when he was taking afternoon naps or sleeping at night, he practically never sat still for a moment.

He would play from upstairs to downstairs, then run from downstairs back upstairs again, throwing his toys and stuff everywhere.

As soon as Xin Siyue saw how messed up the house was, she put on a stern face and called out to him, “Chen Chenan!”

“Mommy Mommy!” After hearing her voice, Chen Chenan quickly ran over and held up the toys Mao Shiyuangave him.

Xin Siyue had a headache. “Didn’t mommy tell you to pack up your toys after playing with them and put them back into their original places?”

“Mommy, I’m not done playing yet,” the little one argued.

“You’ve been playing all day,” Xin Siyue reminded.

“Mommy, I’ll keep it later.”

Xin Siyue told him sternly, “If you don’t clean up now, daddy will clean you up once he gets back.”

Her use of the word “clean” had two different meanings in that sentence. Chen Chenan blinked his big round eyes as if struggling to make sense of his mommy’s words. But he understood that he wouldn’t be able to play around so wilfully as when he was alone at home with his mommy once his daddy comes back.

After Chen Chenan turned three, Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan would take him back to their own home on the weekends.

Chen Sinan had just started on a new project today so he had left the house early in the morning in his suit.

When Chen Chenan woke up and heard that his dad wasn’t home, he played even more vigorously. But now, hearing his dad’s name made his face turn sour. He asked Xin Siyue, “Is Daddy getting off work?”

Xin Siyue leaned down and squeezed his chubby cheeks. She nodded. “Yeah. Daddy sent Mommy a message saying he’s on the way, so are you going to put your toys back where they belong?”

Chen Chenan blinked his eyes, feeling a little frustrated. But he could only lower his head and respond unhappily, “Okay, Mommy.”

For Chen Chenan, the only person he was afraid of in this world was Chen Sinan. It might be the way he criticized him with an emotionless face, but after getting scared once, the little guy didn’t dare to disobey anything Chen Sinan said ever again.

But he was also mad at his daddy.

Whenever Daddy wasn’t home, he could sleep in with Mommy on that big comfy bed. But once Daddy comes back, he’ll definitely carry him back to his own room.

So, Chen Chenan always thought: Daddy’s really petty, he won’t let me sleep with Mommy.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Chenan who was putting his toys back into their box ran over to Xin Siyue’s side and tugged on her sleeves. “Mommy! Mommy!”

“What’s wrong? Do you need Mommy to help you clean up?”

Chen Chenan scratched his head and thought about it for a moment, then he said happily, “Yeah, yeah!”

“Alright, let’s clean up together, then.” Xin Siyue stroked his head and smiled.

When Chen Chenan entered the house, he just happened to see the two of them cleaning up the toys on the floor.

Chen Chenan was playing while he cleaned up, and he saw his tall Daddy come in as soon as he looked up, so he quickly tossed the things in his hands and ran over. “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!”

Chen Sinan who was taking his suit jacket off stopped. He reached out to pet Chen Chenan who had latched onto his leg and asked, “Were you a good boy today? Did you listen to your mommy?”

“Yeah!” Chen Chenan nodded strongly.

“Then, I’ll ask your mommy later. If Mommy says no, then I’ll leave you home alone tonight.”

Chen Chenan remembered that his daddy and mommy told him this morning they needed to go over to Grandma and Grandpa’s house in the evening, so he hurriedly ran back and pulled Xin Siyue who had just bent over to pick up the toy he tossed away in front of Chen Sinan and said proudly, “Mommy! I’ve been good, right? Mommy…”
