âDoes Godfather look good? And between Father and Godfather, who looks better?â
This time, Bai Xiachen puckered his lips to one side and didnât want to elaborate: âThey both look good in their respective manner. Godfather is a fairy-like those seen in a portrait, while Father is stunning and dominant, butâ¦. I prefer Father now.â
He likes whoever gives his mother a lifetime of happiness. Even if Di Cang often bullies him, he would like his old man as usual.
âWhat about before? Did Brother prefer Godfather?â
As always, Di Ling Yan became the curious baby that she was and wanted to get to the bottom of things.
âWell, â Bai Xiachen did not deny that idea and nodded, âat first Father would always pick on Mother so I did not like him. Mother is my most important woman. Whoever bullies her is my enemy. If not for Father performing well later on, plus he promised that he will help me improve my strength so that I can protect Mother, I wouldnât have accepted him so quicklyâ¦.â
If thereâs anything to be blamed, it could only be on Di Cangâs initial impression. He didnât act like a good man so the boy reacted defensively.
In contrast, Chu Yi Fengâs behavior had been nothing but flawless. A literal ray of sunshine in Xiachen and Bai Yanâs life. Itâs no wonder the steambun preferred him at first.
âLing Yan, I am not as strict with you versus Jin Tian, but listen up the both of you.â Bai Xiachen forks his arms around the waist while speaking in a lecturing manner, âMother is the boss of our family. Whoever bullies her is the enemy of our family. Regardless if Mother is right or wrong, she is and always will be right, understood?â
Jin Tian the little glutton nodded first without fully understanding his meaning. Heâs already been programmed to believe anything the steambun says so this was a no brainer.
But Ling Yan on the other hand got the underlying meaning when she nodded: âI understand Big Brother. Mother is always right. If there is anyone wrong, it can only be the other person. If Mother and Father argues, it can only be Fatherâs fault.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThatâs right,â Bai Xiachen dotingly ruffles his little sisterâs hair in an appeased manner, âAnd you Jin Tian. When you grow older, you must be as good as you are now and never anger Mother. If you do, I will beat you, I really will hit you!â
Shivering in fear at the sudden threat, the little glutton didnât know why he suddenly became the ire of his older brother.
âI will be good, I really will beâ¦.â
Heâs ready to burst into tears by this point. Itâs bad enough to be the punching bag, its even worse when you donât know why youâre the punching bag!
âNow thatâs good,â the steambun loosens his stern face and got all lovely in his smile, âit doesnât matter if you donât understand what I mean. The only thing you need to know is that Mother is the heaven, she is the law.â
Ji Song, whoâs also present but standing behind the twins, was shocked by this logic and display of tyranny. From a logical point of view, itâs supposed to be wrong, but itâs nevertheless drawing her in and making this now healed girl worshipful towards the steambun.
Mrs. Di is so amazing. She could teach her eldest son to be such a sweet sonâ¦
âThat should be enough Xiachen,â Bai Yan warmly rewards her eldest with a pat on the head after that statement, âIf you continue then Jin Tian is really going to cry.â
âAs if I am that mean Mother?â Bai Xiachen slyly throws himself at the demon queenâs waist, âI am in fact very gentle. As long as my little brother doesnât make you angry, I will always be the kind and gentle older brother to him. Iâm only teaching him how to behave in this family properly!â
