Chapter 246 - 246 Unlimited Ice-cream
246 Unlimited Ice-cream
Yao Zhaoyang returned home and was given a lot of attention.
Yao Zizhou and Ming Liuyi’s friends were visiting today. At the same time, Wang Ke’er and Zhao Qiang were also here to visit them.
Yao Zhaoyang still had a shadow in his heart. He would feel a little scared whenever he saw strangers. Xiao Fan blamed herself every day and worked harder to take care of him.
Ming Liuyi watched as Xiao Fan bustled about and said, “Xiao Fan, you don’t have to do this. You’re not to blame for what happened.”
“My lady,” Xiao Fan said, “I’m sorry. If it wasn’t for my carelessness—”
Without waiting for Xiao Fan to finish, Ming Liuyi interrupted her and said, “Xiao Fan, I can’t blame you for this. Who knew that Cai Rixi would do such a thing? Listen to me, I’ll give you two days off. You can take a break.”
Xiao Fan’s eyes were filled with tears when she heard this. “Madam, you don’t want me anymore?” she asked.
Ming Liuyi was stunned. She just wanted Xiao Fan to rest. But this matter had left a shadow in Xiao Fan’s heart as well.
Ming Liuyi hurriedly said, “Xiao Fan, listen to me. I just want you to rest. It’s fine if you don’t want to rest, but you can’t work day and night like this.”
Xiao Fan’s tears ran down her face. She said, “Madam, I’m really sorry. I won’t make such a mistake again.”
Yao Zizhou saw everything and did not blame Xiao Fan. After all, this was too sudden, and if it was Yao Zizhou, he would not have been able to put in so much effort like this.
Ming Liuyi knocked on the door of his study.
“Come in,” said Yao Zizhou.
Ming Liuyi walked inside and looked at Yao Zizhou. She said, “Dear, Zhaoyang is still scared. What should we do?”
Yao Zizhou frowned. Zhaoyang was already seeing a psychologist, but he still needed to learn how to cope with the experience himself.
Yao Zizhou suddenly remembered that Yao Zhaoyang used to bring friends home to play.
“Dear, do you think it’ll be better if we get Zhaoyang’s classmates to keep him company?”
After Ming Liuyi heard this, she immediately nodded.
“That’s a good idea,” she said. “He’s still a child. He just needs to have more fun.”
…
The next morning, Ming Liuyi invited Yao Zhaoyang’s classmates to her house.
Yao Zhaoyang’s face lit up when he saw his friends.
Yao Zizhou and Ming Liuyi saw their son reveal a smile that they had not seen in a long time, and both of them let out a sigh of relief.
Yao Zhaoyang and his friends played as if nothing had happened before
A few children ran to the yard and a little chubby kid said, “Zhaoyang, I heard you were kidnapped.”
The rest of them looked at Yao Zhaoyang.
“Li Zheng, don’t talk nonsense,” another child said. “Zhaoyang just isn’t feeling well, that’s why he hasn’t been going to school.”
“I’m not talking nonsense, Yang Di,” Li Zheng retorted. “I heard it from my mom and dad this morning. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Zhaoyang.”
The children all looked expectantly at Yao Zhaoyang.
“Li Zheng’s right,” Yao Zhaoyang said with a frown. “I was kidnapped by some bad guys, and they used me to threaten my parents.”
Meanwhile, the children’s parents were chatting in the villa, and they had no idea what kind of conversation their children were having.
Li Zheng and the others consoled Yao Zhaoyang.
Yang Di patted his chest. “Zhaoyang, don’t be afraid. We’ll protect you from now on. I promise that no bad guys will bully you again.”
The rest of them nodded. Yao Zhaoyang beamed at them.
…
When the children had played enough, they went back inside the house.
Yang Di decided that he wanted to eat ice-cream. Yao Zhaoyang wanted to ask the housekeepers for some, but when he thought of his father’s rules, he frowned.
However, for the sake of his friend, Yao Zhaoyang decided to try and ask his father again.
Yao Zhaoyang snuck into the study and saw Yao Zizhou resting with his eyes closed, so he hurried in.
Yao Zizhou heard the voice and saw his son suddenly come in. He said, “Why aren’t you playing with your friends? What are you doing here?”
Yao Zhaoyang looked at his father, still a little scared. But he did not want to disappoint his friend, so he gathered his courage and said, “Daddy, the weather is so hot. My friends and I want to eat ice-cream. Although I’ve already eaten it twice this week…”
Yao Zizhou was about to say no, but then he remembered his son’s kidnapping. Yao Zizhou could not bear to be so strict with Zhaonyang, so he said, “This time is an exception. You and your friends can eat as much as you want. But starting from next week, you can’t do this anymore.”
Yao Zhaoyang was surprised. He did not expect his father to agree so easily. After coming back to his senses, Yao Zhaoyang climbed onto Yao Zizhou’s body and gave him a kiss on the cheek before scurrying off.
After Yao Zhaoyang left, he brought his friends to eat ice-cream with him.
“Madam Yao, look how happy the children are!” Yang Di’s parents said. “Tomorrow is a Sunday. Let’s go on an outing!”
