Chapter 1740: 1740 Why not call dad He couldn’t hide a hint of bitterness in his heart. But as soon as he thought of Ye’er’s extremely adorable little face, the child was the flesh and blood of him and his wife. Even if his wife accepted him again because of their son, what did it matter? Mr. Chang didn’t even get half a chance. He only needed one chance, and he would cherish his wife, truly until the end of time. No, it would be deeper, more intense, and more desperately than Chang Haotian! Once he figured it out, a radiant smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he cheerfully chased after his wife, “Dear, wait for me.” Su Qingyue’s steps stopped outside Little Ye’er’s room, and she glanced back at Xiao Yuchuan, “Keep your voice down, Ye’er is learning arithmetic right now.” “Oh.” Xiao Yuchuan immediately covered his mouth, and looking through the open window, he saw Little Ye’er sitting at a specially made small desk, his tiny fingers quickly moving the abacus. An expert in arithmetic was carefully teaching him. Xiao Yuchuan thought, when he went out to the Xiao Mansion, his son was still learning medicine at the pharmacy, and now he’s studying arithmetic. So busy, so hard-working, so pitiful… It’s the age to be playing with mud. Seeing his mom and dad arrived, Little Ye’er turned his little head and looked at them, opened the door and ran over, hugging Su Qingyue’s thigh, “Mom, you’ve come to see Ye’er.” Xiao Yuchuan saw his son only focused on being affectionate with his wife, ignoring him, and he patted his little shoulder. Little Ye’er looked up at him, “What?” “Just reminding you to acknowledge my presence.” “Oh, I know you’re here.” Ye’er said graciously. Xiao Yuchuan pretended to be displeased and put on a stern face, “What’s this ‘you’ here? I am your biological father. Not even calling me ‘dad’ once.” “What’s this ‘dad’ business, haven’t seen you in over five years, suddenly showing up for one or two days and you want me to call you dad. Is there such an easy deal?” Little Ye’er replied earnestly, throwing his words back at him. Xiao Yuchuan felt a bit aggrieved, “Wife, you need to manage this with our son…” “How can I manage this?” Su Qingyue said, “I’m not unreasonable. The child is right, suddenly appearing and wanting him to call you dad; Chang Haotian has been nurturing him for this past month, and if everyone does this, how many dads would Ye’er have to call?” Xiao Yuchuan was rendered speechless, then immediately said, “Temporarily not calling me is fine.” He squatted down in front of Little Ye’er, “Baby son, when do you plan to call me dad?” “Baby son…” Little Ye’er mulled over these four words, shivering to the point of getting goosebumps, “So cheesy.” In a rare moment, Yuxue’s adorable little face blushed. “Ah, the little guy is embarrassed…” Xiao Yuchuan happily pulled his small body into his embrace, “Little one, you haven’t answered me yet? When will you call your biological father who is I, ‘dad’?” Ye’er spoke with quite a conviction, “It’s simple. What does calling someone ‘dad’ mean? It means assuming the role of a father, responsible for supporting the family, caring for and loving the wife and child. These eight words, when you achieve them, I’ll call you.” Xiao Yuchuan immediately declared, “I already do…” “You disappeared for so long, when I was learning to talk and walk, I never saw you.” Little Ye’er snorted, “To be ‘dad’, it’s an ongoing duty, not just for one or two days. Whenever I feel you’ve achieved it, then I’ll call you.” “You little brat!” Xiao Yuchuan, both amused and annoyed, patted Little Ye’er’s head gently, just worried that if he used too much force, he’d knock his son silly.
