378 Clingy (Part 3)

When he was asleep, if he lost sight of Yue Jiaojiao, he would not be able to sleep well.

“I’ll give him one of your clothes from time to time during his afternoon nap. It’ll be the same tonight.”

He seemed to have made up his mind.

Yue Jiaojiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Zhao Zhan, he’s only five months old.”

“In a few months, he’ll be able to crawl and walk.” Zhao Zhan hugged his lover tightly and couldn’t help but think. “After the new year, should I bring him around the mountain?”

“Forget it. Spring will come soon after the new year. We’ll go to Shangjing then.

“It’ll take at least three months to get to Shangjing from here,” Zhao Zhan said as he calculated the time. “Zhao Nian will be a year old by then.”

“Traveling is the best way to train a person’s mentality. I think Zhao Nian can have his own room by the time we reach Shangjing.”

Yue Jiaojiao silently swallowed the words that were supposed to be a blow to him.

The atmosphere in the room was broken by Madam Qin’s voice.

Zhao Zhan hugged Yue Jiaojiao tightly and buried his head in her shoulder, letting out a long sigh. It was rare for him to be so obviously disappointed.

Yue Jiaojiao held back her laughter and pushed him away. “Hurry and open the door for Madam Qin. She must be back to let us know that Zhao Nian is awake after she carried Ningning to Fang Tianliu.”

Zhao Zhan hugged her even tighter and took two deep breaths before he got up and opened the door.

Madam Qin looked at his expressionless face and shoved Zhao Nian into his arms. “Zhao Nian is awake. My lady should feed him now. If he cries, you’ll have to sleep in the side room again tonight.”

Zhao Zhan’s face darkened. He held onto Zhao Nian and lowered his head to look at him without blinking. The little guy felt his gaze and looked up at him with a silly smile.

“When will you stop pestering your mother?” Although Zhao Zhan said that, he did not use any more strength in his grip. “You’re such a troublesome fellow.”

Zhao Nian saw Yue Jiaojiao. He was so excited that he kept moving in his arms, asking for Yue Jiaojiao to hug him. He stomped on Zhao Zhan’s chest repeatedly to be let go.

“Is that the only thing you can eat?” Zhao Zhan let out a long sigh and placed him in Yue Jiaojiao’s arms. He then moved a stool from the side and placed it under Yue Jiaojiao’s feet. “When can you return your mother to me?”

Zhao Nian, who had successfully snuggled into Yue Jiaojiao’s arms, only revealed the back of his head to the other man.

Zhao Zhan didn’t dare to fight with him.

Previously, when Zhao Nian bit Yue Jiaojiao and caused his lover to feel pain, Zhao Zhan had held her in his arms and righteously taught the little fellow a lesson.

In the end, Zhao Nian never forgot. When he stays too long with Zhao Zhan, he will cry until his entire body turns red. That night, Zhao Zhan slept in the side room.

The little guy cried his eyes out as he stood beside Yue Jiaojiao, declaring his ownership.

“He’ll be able to eat some porridge and eggs next month.”

Zhao Zhan took out a book from the table next to him and flipped to the page where Yue Jiaojiao was reading. He held it up for her to see.

before we leave for Shangjing, you don’t have to feed him yourself anymore. Zhao Zhan noticed that his lover had finished reading and carefully turned the page. “I’ll make his meal when the time comes.”

He could tell that as long as Zhao Nian ate and slept well, he would not stick to Yue Jiaojiao so much.

“When the time comes, I’ll be the one feeding him. If I make him angry, he won’t deliberately remember.”

Zhao Nian had inherited Yue Jiaojiao’s sensitivity and cleverness. However, the only way he could express himself now was through crying.

This father and son’s daily life in the future would probably be a battle of wits and courage.

Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t be bothered to get involved in the matters between the two boys. After all, Zhao Zhan was only a little fierce with his words, but in reality, he was more protective of Zhao Nian than anyone else.

After Zhao Nian was full, Yue Jiaojiao placed him on the bed.

Zhao Zhan put away the book and went over to wipe him, then changed him into a set of clean inner clothes. He then threw him a tiger doll for him to play with.

“Zhao Zhan, why do you think Xiangjun suddenly married someone from Bei City?”

“Xiangjun and Fang Tianliu have reconciled. Does that mean that there’s an explanation for what happened in the past?”

Yue Jiaojiao had always been very curious about this matter.

“We’ll ask Fang Tianliu later.” Zhao Zhan did not mind not knowing, but if his lover wanted to know, he would follow suit. “If Xiangjun really has any grievances, we can’t let Fang Tianliu do anything that will hurt others and himself on his own.”

From the beginning to the end, Li Xiangjun was the only person Fang Tianliu had ever loved.

If Fang Tianliu found out about Li Xiangjun’s encounter, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t be impulsive and do something irrational.
