He spoils the children too much!
Di Mingjue, ignoring Ye Ziyu's displeasure, forcibly embraced her and entered the living room.
"Big Brother, you're home today?" Ye Ziyu asked, looking at Ye Shaoting, who was reading a newspaper on the sofa.
Ye Shaoting's gaze shifted from the newspaper to the family of five.
"Went out to play?"
"Mhm. Took them to the amusement park."
The children still wore happy smiles on their faces after playing, and even Di Mingjue's face was beaming with relaxation. Ye Shaoting put down the newspaper and stood up from the sofa. "It's good to spend time with the children when you're free on the weekend."
Speaking of children, Ye Ziyu thought about mentioning Xingxing to Ye Shaoting.
"Big Brother, where is Xingxing?" Ye Ziyu asked.
It wasn't bedtime yet, so he logically shouldn't be asleep.
Ye Shaoting pointed outside. "He's practicing."
"Now?" Ye Ziyu was surprised.
He had just recovered from a cold, and the dew was heavy at night. The cold and heat could easily make him sick.
Ye Ziyu glanced at Ye Shaoting, hesitated, and then spoke, "Actually, we invited Xingxing when we went out today, but he was reluctant to go with us. It turns out Big Brother arranged for him to practice."
Was she blaming him?
Ye Shaoting smiled and explained, "You misunderstood. Practicing is his own requirement. Xingxing is different from your children. He dislikes interacting with people and prefers to do things he likes alone. You don't need to invite him for your activities anymore."
"But he's either at school or at home every day. Is it really okay to not have normal social interaction?" Ye Ziyu asked with concern.
The last time she visited the school, she learned from his teacher that Xingxing also kept to himself and didn't like to communicate with his classmates. If this continued for a long time, he would be even more unsure of how to interact with others when he grew older.
Seeing Ye Shaoting's resolute attitude, Ye Ziyu quickly persuaded him, "Big Brother, you're too busy to pay attention to Xingxing's psychological issues. He looks like a normal child, but it seems something is troubling him. You really need to spend time with him and let him interact with others properly."
"I understand. But my care still needs to respect the child's own willingness," Ye Shaoting insisted on his own view.
As their opinions clashed, Xingxing came in from outside after finishing his practice.
"Xingxing." Ye Ziyu's stern expression softened into a gentle smile.
All eyes in the room fell on him. Xingxing became a little flustered, standing still and not daring to move forward. He could roughly guess that the reason for the tense atmosphere was probably related to him.
Ye Ziyu walked over to Xingxing, kindly crouched down to his eye level, "We were discussing you."
Just as I thought! Xingxing murmured to himself.
He looked at Ye Ziyu seriously, listening to her words as they slowly came out.
"Xingxing, I was just discussing with your father. From now on, we can take you with us when we go out," Ye Ziyu said.
Before Xingxing could even process her words, Ye Shaoting next to her spoke, "Your aunt thinks you must be lonely at home with no one to accompany you, and she hopes you can become friends with Qianqian and the others. From now on, wherever they go, you will follow. She discussed it with me, and I still support your decision as always. What do you think?"
If he played with them, he would have to face his enemies every day, not to mention that the people he would be playing with were the children of his enemies. Xingxing shook his head and firmly refused, "I don't want to."
Once the person concerned made a decision, there was no room for further persuasion. Ye Ziyu looked at Xingxing, unable to comprehend, and asked, "Why?"
Doing everything alone, wasn't he bored? Didn't he feel lonely?
