At this point in his life, Third Young Master Ye would agree to anything that might bring him a child.
Xi Ji was startled by the reply but the grin on his face only grew wider. He thought the Third Elder Brother was becoming more and more like a different person.
This version of him was definitely cuter.
Of course, this change happened because of Third Elder Sister-in-law. Like him, Third Elder Brother changed for his woman.
Xi Ji intended to return to the room for Qin Yutong after ending the phone call. As soon as he turned around, however, he jumped upon noticing Tang Zhimo."What are you doing here?"
"Listening to your phone call." The boy appeared completely natural as he replied frankly.
"Didn't anyone tell you that you shouldn't eavesdrop on other people's conversation?" Xi Ji could not resist laughing. How could the little boy reply with such assurance?! Good one.
The boy was truly arrogant, even more so than his Third Elder Brother!!!
"I wasn't eavesdropping but standing here listening to you with nothing to hide. It's your fault that you're not more alert. My mother said before that you can only blame yourself for allowing the enemy a chance to attack. That's why you shouldn't blame me but yourself, " Tang Zhimo explained matter-of-factly. Of course, his mother did not tell him that personally. He overheard it when she spoke with Nangong Mu.
"..."
Xi Ji was at a loss for words.
Who were the parents of this little boy? Who taught him all these?
"Oh right, you've transferred all of your assets to Yutong Mama. Aren't you worried that she might dump you one day?" The little boy was shocked to hear the man's decision earlier. He could not believe his ears.
Without a doubt, he knew that Yutong Mama would never do that. He only wanted to know how Xi Ji felt about this possibility?
"She can do whatever she wants with me. It's none of your business." Xi Ji was not happy about being mocked by the little child earlier.
However, his reply clearly showed his attitude toward the woman.
The corners of Tang Zhimo's lips quivered slightly as he looked at the childish man. However, he also concluded the man's answer.
Xi Ji truly loved Yutong Mama whereas Ye Lanchen did not feel that same about mother.
"You said earlier that you want to bring us to meet Ye Lanchen?" The boy felt dissatisfied after making the comparison.
"You shouldn't call him Ye Lanchen. He's my Third Elder Brother, thus you should call him..." Xi Ji frowned slightly as he tried to think.
"Father, " the boy replied.
"..."
Xi Ji was caught by surprise. How could this little boy address every man as 'father'? This was not a good habit. 𝘧𝓇𝙚𝑒we𝙗𝙣oѵ𝑒𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
"I call you father and he's your Third Elder Brother so that makes him my Third Father. That's why it's okay for me to address him as father." In actuality, the little boy figured Ye Lanchen was probably the person that he really should address as his father since he was his mother's legal husband.
However, he did not bring this up with Xi Ji.
Indeed, some areas in Jin City practiced this method of addressing one's father's brothers as Big Father, Second Father, Third Father, etc.
Therefore, Tang Zhimo's suggestion made sense in some ways.
"Alright, you'll call him father when you guys meet." Xi Ji thought it would be fun. Third Elder Brother must be shocked when the two children address him as father on their first encounter.
