But Shangguan Zhongqi nodded with disapproval, "Yes?"
"Shangguan Zhongqi, he is only four years old, and with his current body, how can you let him come alone?" Yu Xiaoqing felt that these rich people were crazy.
When men in their thirties or forties go out, I don’t know how many of them follow them.
However, when this child goes out, he doesn't want anyone to follow him. He doesn't even have anyone to accompany him.
Realizing that Yu Xiaoqing was a little excited, Shangguan Zhongqi smiled and said, "Go down first and I'll talk to you later!"
"You said that when Xu'er was three years old, she flew to the United States alone?" Yu Xiaoqing stroked her forehead. She really felt that she had been encountering some incredible things recently.
"We should let him know from an early age that there are many things in this world and there is no reason to rely on others. He can fully express his wishes at the age of two. If it were not for his health, it would be impossible to push such training to the age of three!"
The plate of fruit was handed to Yu Xiaoqing and Shangguanxu, and Shangguan Zhongqi narrated with a very calm face.
Yu Xiaoqing looked at Shangguanxu, feeling distressed.
"Xu'er, tell mom, is there anyone bullying you along the way?"
Shangguanxu raised his head, looked at Yu Xiaoqing in confusion, thought for a moment, and shook his head.
After that, Shangguan Zhongxu told Yu Xiaoqing a lot about Shangguanxu. For example, he could recite three hundred Tang poems at the age of three and a half. Another example was that he once saved a man older than him from a human trafficker with his wit.
For example, a child who is five years older can survive half a month on his own in a completely closed environment...and so on..." Yu Xiaoqing was shocked by all of this.
She finally understood why Shangguan Zhongqi was more expert at housework than she was.
"Actually, in your eyes, children who grow up in the upper class only have food to eat and clothes to open their hands. You think that our achievements today are nothing more than continuing the family business, but... you can't see the suffering behind our backs.
Those are extraordinary sufferings that humans can endure." Shangguan Zhongqi suddenly said.
Yu Xiaoqing looked up at Shangguan Zhongqi. To be honest, at this moment, she was indeed full of curiosity about the society she was about to face.
"But aren't you worried about Xu'er's illness?"
"The more this happens, the more we let him face it on his own!"
Yu Xiaoqing discovered that when she said this, Shangguan Zhongqi's eyes showed distress and reluctance, but more of hope.
This father and son impressed her with admiration today.
In fact, if you think about it, in Shangguan's house before, although there were mostly servants, there were none who really served Shangguanxu. He dressed and ate by himself. One time, she even discovered in his small bathroom,
Shangguanxu was actually washing her own underwear. At that time, she thought it was because of children's natural tendency to play in water, but now that she thought about it, she was terribly wrong.
No wonder, even though he relied on her at that time, he never let herself reach out to help him with anything.
Turning her head, she looked at Shangguanxu who was sitting next to her. It was obvious that he had listened to the conversation between the two of them, but his expression was very calm, with no pride, no impetuosity, no grievance, and no unwillingness.
Yu Xiaoqing can be sure that his character is definitely not like his own.
The composure that he exudes unconsciously and is incomparable with his age definitely comes from Shangguan Zhongqi.
She instinctively wanted to pull him into her arms and care for him, but the hand she could reach into the air finally fell on his little shoulder and patted him twice gently, because she knew that this child did not need comfort.
More importantly, she felt that she was not qualified to comfort the child. He was far stronger than herself.
Because Shangguanxu was not physically able to go to crowded places, after he came, Yu Xiaoqing went out less often in order to accompany him.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Shangguanxu was taking a bath. When he saw Yu Xiaoqing come in, he covered himself with a bath towel.
Yu Xiaoqing smiled and squatted down. Suddenly, her heart began to ache violently. Compared with the last time she saw Shangguanxu, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and the bones on his back were clearly visible.
This scene almost made her cry.
"It's okay, mom will come and take a look!" Yu Xiaoqing resisted tears and backed out.
She turned around and ran to her room. Due to the arrival of Shangguan Xu, Shangguan Zhongqi slept in the same room with her. However, due to her resistance, nothing happened between them.
Yu Xiaoqing originally wanted to give herself a process of adaptation.
But, at this moment, she just wanted to slap herself twice.
She is the mother, no matter who gives birth to Shangguanxu, she is his mother. However, when the child is sick, what is she worried about? Face, reserve or something else?
Thinking of Shangguanxu, who was as skinny as a stick but still insisted on washing, bathing, dressing, eating, and doing everything by himself, she burst into tears. Thinking of the time she had wasted in the past two months, she hugged herself with blame.
Headache and crying.
"Qing, what's wrong with you? Just now..." Shangguan Zhongqi was reading a book. Seeing Yu Xiaoqing's sudden behavior, he panicked for a moment. Yu Xiaoqing was never someone who shed tears easily.
Yu Xiaoqing ignored her, cried for a moment, raised her head from her knees, looked at Shangguan Zhongqi, and said word by word, "Zhongqi, I'll give it to you!"
