In the following days, Cheng Su and Zhan Qin were constantly out and about for their personal company, while her son Qi Xiaoqi stayed at the Cheng family home, playing with the old man.
But it wasn’t long before Qi Xiaoqi became unhappy and wanted to go out with Cheng Su.
"How can I get things done with you tagging along? Aren’t you having fun at the Cheng family home?" Cheng Su asked.
"It’s too boring. The old man keeps asking me to play chess with him, and he’s not even good at it. I have to pretend to be worse than him. Not just bad, I have to mess around," Qi Xiaoqi said with frustration. "Pretending to be a child is so difficult."
Cheng Su burst out laughing and covered her mouth, saying, "Poor you."
"I want to go with you," Qi Xiaoqi said. "I promise I won’t cry or make trouble for you. Besides, I can watch and learn while you work. I might even have some advice for you."
Cheng Su thought about it and nodded in agreement.
So Cheng Su started taking her son along with her and Zhan Qin.
Zhan Qin looked at the little kid, then at Cheng Su: "What’s this about? Isn’t he supposed to be with the old man?"
Cheng Su glanced at Qi Xiaoqi and gave an embarrassed smile: "He’s throwing a tantrum. He didn’t want to stay at the Cheng family home, insisted on coming out with me, so I had to bring him along."
Zhan Qin clicked his tongue and said, "You know, you really shouldn’t spoil the kid like this. Haven’t you heard the saying ’A doting mother often raises a troubled child’? This..." He stopped when he saw Qi Xiaoqi staring at him angrily and said, "Oh, kid, you’re staring at me now." He raised his hand, pretending to poke him in the eye.
Qi Xiaoqi gritted his little white teeth and said, "You... you’re a bad guy!"
