Chapter 1741: 1741 Unwilling to go Little Ye’er grumbled discontentedly, “If it weren’t for my mom saying you are my biological father, I wouldn’t pat your head. My head is very precious and full of new things I’ve learned.” “What’s all in there?” “I put in whatever I learn each day.” Ye’er answered seriously. Xiao Yuchuan laughed and lifted his son’s small body, planting a kiss on his soft little face. How did his wife manage to give him such a darling treasure? He really loved Ye’er. The arithmetic teacher came out from the Study Room, holding a notebook, and greeted Su Qingyue and Xiao Yuchuan respectfully, saying to Su Qingyue, “Lady, the young Master’s arithmetic is exceptional. I have never seen a child under five years of age with such sophisticated and intelligent thinking. Simple abacus calculation, he doesn’t need an abacus; even complex ones, he doesn’t touch abacus beads, a little thought, and he finds the result. He has the knowledge for account books. I have imparted all I can, nothing more to teach. I won’t be coming tomorrow.” Su Qingyue nodded, “Thank you for your hard work, teacher. I have already instructed the Accountant’s Room to prepare your salary and reward.” Only then did they realize the Lady had anticipated he’d finish teaching today. The teacher thanked them and went to receive his payment. Su Qingyue, with Xiao Yuchuan holding their son, returned to their own courtyard. Seeing Chang Haotian still in the yard. As soon as he saw Qingyue, a glimmer of light arose in his dim eyes, and his somewhat stern face softened, “Qing’er, you’re back.” The appearance of Xiao Yuchuan was a stab to his eyes. He continued to smile at Qingyue, seemingly unaffected, with a smile somewhat imitating Xiao Yuchuan’s style. The tone was like waiting for his wife to return home. Xiao Yuchuan frowned, “Master Chang, my wife has made it very clear. Why haven’t you left yet?” He ignored Xiao Yuchuan, directing a loving smile at Little Ye’er, “Ye’er, have you finished your homework?” His tone was like that of a kind father. “Finished.” Little Ye’er looked at his sun-reddened face, “Uncle Chang, looking at you, it seems you’ve been sunning for several hours.” He got down from Xiao Yuchuan’s arms and walked over to Chang Haotian, “You should go rest.” “Uncle isn’t tired.” Chang Haotian bent down, looking at his exquisite, adorable face, countless times regretting in his heart, why wasn’t he his own son, “How’s Ye’er’s studying going?” “The teacher teaching ordinary arithmetic has left.” Little Ye’er replied honestly, “He said Ye’er can already read typical account books.” “Ye’er is really capable.” Chang Haotian rewarded him with a rub on his little head. Their interaction was quite courteous and polite. Ye’er and Chang Haotian were not as rowdy as Ye’er was with Xiao Yuchuan. “Ye’er, Uncle Chang is leaving, go and see him off.” Su Qingyue suddenly spoke. A trace of anguish flashed in Chang Haotian’s eyes; did she just wish he would leave? Little Ye’er tugged on Chang Haotian’s sleeve, “Uncle Chang, you’re leaving so soon?” “Soon?” Xiao Yuchuan was displeased, “He’s been bothering us for about a month, he should have been gone long ago!” Chang Haotian ignored Xiao Yuchuan, gently asking Ye’er, “Ye’er, will you miss Uncle Chang?” His little head nodded vigorously. “Then how about Uncle Chang stays?” he thought, Ye’er would ask him to stay. Qing’er loves her son very much, she couldn’t bear to refuse. As long as he stayed in the Su Mansion, he’d have a chance to get closer to her.
