Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: The Little One’s Secret Uncle Bai stood still holding his bag, looking over in the direction of the call, and saw little Shang Yin sitting properly next to Li Yan, exuding a tranquility and obedience unbecoming his age. The little one saw Uncle Bai and pursed his lips to call softly, “Uncle Bai.” Uncle Bai’s stern features instantly softened, “Come here, go upstairs with uncle.” The little one didn’t ask much and slid down from the couch bit by bit, patted away the wrinkles on his little trousers after standing up, and followed Uncle Bai upstairs. Li Yan had his mouth half open, staring blankly at their big and small backs, “Yi Bao, come back, come back, you haven’t finished learning yet!” The little one stopped and turned around, gazing at Li Yan with those fawn-like eyes, identical to Li Qiao’s. Those fawn-like eyes would make anyone think of Li Qiao, and upon thinking of Li Qiao, one would subconsciously choose to compromise. Li Yan couldn’t resist the little one’s gaze, snapped the Famous Paintings Guide shut with a loud smack, and authoritatively said, “Alright, we won’t study, go and play well with your Uncle Bai.” Uncle Bai, knowledgeable about the place, led the little one to the nursery on the second floor. Apparently, he had been here more than once. Sitting cross-legged by the soft ground rug, Uncle Bai’s expression turned serious, “Did you learn what uncle taught you last time?” The little one also sat cross-legged and calmly nodded, “Learned it.” Uncle Bai, intending to test him, raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Tell me about it.” The little one lowered his gaze, sighed a little in resignation, and recounted skillfully, “Information exchange requires not only physical equipment but also software environment, data elements are…” For a full three minutes, little Shang Yin recited verbatim the introductory hacking knowledge Uncle Bai had taught him. Uncle Bai patted his little head with immense satisfaction, praising him, “Not bad, you have your mom’s brilliance back then.” The little one’s dark fawn eyes brightened, then he pursed his lips and smiled, “Thank you, uncle.” At this moment, Uncle Bai mysteriously pulled over a suitcase from beside him, lowered his voice and said, “To reward you, uncle has a gift for you.” That evening, little one was taken back to the Mansion by Li Qiao. After all, just a young child, upon seeing Li Qiao, he immediately ran over to hug her leg, looking up calling, “Mama.” Li Qiao picked up the little one and bounced him lightly, pinching his cheek while raising an eyebrow and asking, “Going home?” Though he’s a child, Li Qiao and Shang Yu’s parenting style is notably different from other parents. In their eyes, the little one is an independent individual, regardless of his age, he will have his own thoughts and opinions. The couple always demonstrates enough respect and equality in their words and actions, anything matters is primarily focused on little Shang Yin’s own wishes. In the car, Li Qiao only then noticed the small suitcase next to the safety seat, but without asking much, she drove straight back to the Round Island Villa. And from that day, the little one seemed to have a secret. It didn’t take long for Li Qiao to discover something unusual. At ten in the morning, she hadn’t yet gone to the Renhe Laboratory, and out of curiosity, she opened the surveillance program on her phone. Luoyu noticed and added, “After all, the young master is still small, he often gets up at night, maybe he slept too much during the day.” Li Qiao placed her phone on the stand, lazily curling her lips, “He often sleeps during the day?” “Hmm…” Luoyu contemplated for a few seconds, “Lately, he’s been sleeping more. Should I call a doctor to check on the young master?” Li Qiao said there’s no need, dragging the surveillance timeline back to three in the morning, watched as time ticked by, and quickly, the little one’s figure appeared in the hallway. “In his hands… what’s he holding?” Even though it was late at night, the surveillance image was clear, but Li Qiao couldn’t make out what the little one was holding, and it seemed heavy, making his small legs appear to struggle moving downstairs. Luoyu bent over to look at the phone screen, after a while, shook his head, “Can’t see clearly, looks like a small blanket.” Though it was March in the South Sea and the weather was warming, it was still cool at night. The little one wore only thin pajamas, carrying something in his arms… headed to the kitchen. There’s surveillance installed in the villa’s hallway but not in the kitchen, Li Qiao couldn’t see or guess what could the little one be doing carrying a blanket to the kitchen at three in the morning, surely not sleepwalking to sleep? Thinking of this, Li Qiao frowned, feeling a bit concerned. This child had been healthy since birth, rarely getting sick, at most a minor cold. If he did have a sleepwalking disorder, it would be best to treat it early. Li Qiao, uneasy, thought for a few seconds, then asked, “Is he still in the room?” Luoyu glanced at a clock, nodded, “He came down for breakfast at seven in the morning, after returning to the room he hasn’t come out.” Li Qiao squinted her eyes, pondering, decided to observe for a while, “You stay at home today, watch what he’s doing, inform me if there’s anything unusual.” In less than half an hour, Li Qiao went to the laboratory, the first thing she did upon opening the computer was to browse information about symptoms of sleepwalking. Her little one was different from other children, too quiet and well-behaved, with exceptional memory, so if there were some flaws it would be normal. In the evening, Li Qiao specially went to the Yan Emperor Headquarters to find Shang Yu. On the top floor of One Zero One, the man closed the document he was holding, lifted his gaze to look at Li Qiao across, “If you’re worried, why not watch what he’s doing tonight.” “That works too.” Li Qiao agreed casually, lounging lazily against the armrest, cupping her chin and eyeing Shang Yu, “If he really has sleepwalking, why not… have a second child?” The man’s action of twisting the pen paused, a fascinating smile formed at the corners of his lips, “Abandon him…” Far away, the little one playing alone in the Mansion was completely unaware that his parents were discussing whether he might have some disorder. At this moment, Li Qiao sulkily pulled her lips, got up, walked to the large office desk, raised an eyebrow, “What to abandon, give him a brother or sister, maybe he won’t get sick, the little one might be too lonely.” Shang Yu’s husky laugh rumbled from his throat, his arm reached across the table to grasp her wrist, “No, in half a year he’ll attend kindergarten, he won’t be lonely.” Li Qiao’s plan for a second child fell through again: “…” … Follow current novels on noᴠelfire.net At two-thirty in the morning, the world was silent. Dim nightlights were on throughout the villa, not long after, the door of the room adjacent to the main bedroom opened slightly. Little Shang Yin peered out, observing for a few seconds, then turned his head up to look at the surveillance camera in the corner of the wall, blinked, and closed the door again. He returned to his small low bed, his chubby little hand reached under the pillow to grab a phone, and adeptly opened the contact list, dialing Uncle Bai’s number. On the other end, the woken Uncle Bai was truly impressed. Sure enough, what kind of person raises what kind of child, Shang Yin was just like his mom, never looking at the time when making a call. Uncle Bai cleared his throat, softened his voice as much as possible and asked, “What’s up?”
