Domineering CEO Is My Son

"What's wrong?"

Mr. Kang thought about it. He didn't do anything yesterday…did he? Why was he suddenly out of favor?

Well…

Yesterday, he did search for the later part of the story "Empress in the Palace" online and then told his violent mother about how the empress's baby would be lost.

Was it because of this?

Thinking about this, Mr. Kang felt like a wronged little daughter-in-law. He quietly turned on the stove, heated the fermented rice, and even added an egg to it.

Xia Sheng saw this from the corner of her eye and felt happy.

As expected, having an expert teach him was good; there was progress right away.

Every morning when she woke up, this guy would come to eat the fermented rice. Every time, it was the same process: he would dig directly from the jar and eat it, very unrefined. Then, at noon, he would complain of a stomachache.

So, every time, she would say like an old mother:

"Heat it up!"

"Add some water, add some sugar, you can also add an egg."

She said it the first day, and he did the same the second day, so she had to keep saying it.

But now, she didn't say anything. The child himself, while eating, realized that cold food wasn't as good as hot food, and knew how to do it.

Xia Sheng nodded in satisfaction. She suddenly felt confident about being a parent.

At this time, the voice of her younger son came from the children's room, "Mom, help me…"

As soon as Xia Sheng entered the room, she saw the child on the bed getting dressed. His head was stuck in his clothes; he couldn't find the neck hole and had put it on inside out.

The child was pushing his head towards the sleeve, so naturally, he couldn't get it out.

Xia Sheng adjusted the direction of the shirt, and the little head popped out from the neck hole. His face was red, and he hugged her, "Thank you, Mom."

Mr. Kang came over just in time to see this scene. He watched for a while and then went back to the kitchen.

After a while, Xia Sheng heard Kangkang's voice from the kitchen: "Xia Sheng! Xia Sheng! Come and save me!"

As soon as Xia Sheng came out, she saw the situation in the kitchen.

The fermented rice and egg boiling on the stove had boiled over. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it under control. The spilled water had already splashed into the stove.

Xia Sheng quickly pulled him aside and was about to cover the boiling pot with a lid, but the stove was still making a hissing sound, which was quite scary.

Xia Sheng instantly chickened out. She actually had a bit of a kitchen phobia, so she quickly shouted, "Honey! Honey! Come quickly!!!"

Little Kangkang patted his forehead, unable to bear to watch any longer, and said, "Mom, turn off the stove first."

Yue Qin was brushing his teeth. When he heard the sound, he immediately came out and turned off the stove switch, his mouth still full of foam.

Yue Qin looked at the fermented rice and egg that the other party had cooked. Only one egg remained inside.

"It's okay, you're not familiar with the kitchen yet. It'll be fine once you're familiar with it."

Mr. Kang felt strange while eating the fermented rice and egg.

It was different from what he had imagined. The last time he blew up the kitchen, it seemed he was criticized.

Why suddenly… were the couple so polite to him?

Yes, they were suddenly very polite. Obviously…

Breakfast was noodles with shredded pork, and everyone's bowl had some bok choy.

Little Kangkang was in a phase where he didn't like to eat vegetables. Yue Qin reminded him, "Little Bao, you need to eat your vegetables too."

Mr. Kang silently left all his bok choy, but no one said anything.

Soon, Mr. Kang discovered more things that he wasn't used to.

For example, his second uncle had started another company and had poached several good employees from his company.

When Mr. Kang and Big Dad went to buy groceries, they were complaining angrily along the way, but Big Dad didn't say anything.

Big Dad just listened to him quietly.

Mr. Kang: "…" That's not right. He would have said something before.

"They don't even look at themselves. He's not even my real uncle. I used to be considerate, but this time I'm going to destroy them!" Mr. Kang said deliberately.

Yue Qin hummed in response and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just be sure about what you're doing."

Mr. Kang became even more puzzled and couldn't help but take two bites of the sesame cake Big Dad bought for him outside. It wasn't as good as the ones made at home. He continued, "Or, I can choose to steal my cousin's girlfriend. They want to marry into the Li family and use their influence to fight me!"

Yue Qin turned his head and looked at this adult who had become a troublemaker after just two days of not being watched. He said, "Are you serious?"

Big Kangkang instantly cowered, "I'm just kidding. I'm not that kind of person."

But now Mr. Kang still felt something was wrong. Everything was fine before, so why were they suddenly so polite?

It was as if they wouldn't let him wash vegetables and help with housework.

Mr. Kang mopped the floor, contemplating life. What was wrong?

Little Kangkang was sweeping the floor in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Brother, brother, you haven't mopped here yet. Be serious."

Mr. Kang came back to his senses. That was it. This was how a normal family interacted.

"Little Kangkang, don't you think Mom and Dad aren't as good to me as they used to be?" Mr. Kang put down the mop and squatted down.

Little Kangkang looked up at his brother and sighed, "You're too big now…"

"Huh?"

"Mom and Dad can't carry you anymore." Little Kangkang continued, "They love you very much."

"No! No!!!" Mr. Kang quickly said, "Don't you think they don't care about me now? I didn't get up for breakfast this morning, and they didn't even care."

Little Kangkang was angry. He wanted to sleep in every morning, but his father would always fish him out of bed.

The next day, Big Kangkang didn't come for breakfast again.

He didn't come until after eight o'clock. The adult man-child was wearing a leather jacket and leather pants and said, "I'm going to get my ears pierced!"

"What?" Xia Sheng and Yue Qin turned their heads at the same time and looked at this crazy person.

"I want to get my ears pierced!" Big Kangkang said, "I suddenly realized that getting an ear piercing is cool."

Xia Sheng looked at this man-child with a speechless expression and held back, "Alright."

Yue Qin: "I'll take you there."

Along the way, Mr. Kang was also very apprehensive. He was afraid of pain.

"Here we are," Yue Qin said.

Mr. Kang was unhappy now and said angrily, "You're really letting me do it?"

What kind of people were they! They actually agreed to let him get his ears pierced?! What if it got infected?

Yue Qin said, "Didn't you want to go?"

"But the problem is… you shouldn't let me go. What if it gets infected?"

Mr. Kang felt a little aggrieved as he said this, "I feel like you guys have been weird these past two days. You don't care what I say at all. You weren't like this before."

Yue Qin didn't expect the other party to be so perceptive and said, "I should respect your opinion more. After all, you're not a child anymore. You have your own complete worldview and can be responsible for your own life."

"What's there to respect? Just tell me what you think. I won't be angry anyway." Mr. Kang said bluntly.

Yue Qin couldn't bring himself to say that he treated the other party as a child in an adult's body. He only explained, "It's not about being angry. You should have a complete worldview. I should trust that you can solve your own problems instead of imposing my values on you."

Mr. Kang understood immediately. Big Dad actually meant that he wouldn't be a traditional parent and would let his child grow freely.

Mr. Kang almost instantly understood. Indeed, in traditional families, grown-up children don't want to be interfered with too much by their parents because the world their parents see and the world they see are different.

But the problem was…

"No, no, that's because the two generations see the world differently, but we are people of the same era! The world we see is actually the same. We have memories of the same era. Your values are not from a different era than mine. Your different perspectives can actually fill in the gaps in my understanding of the world."

After Mr. Kang finished speaking, he felt that he was particularly profound today. Look at how reasonable and well-founded his words were! Amazing!

After Xia Sheng heard what Yue Qin had relayed, she couldn't help but ask, "I ask him to heat up the fermented rice every morning, and that can also fill in the gaps in his understanding of the world? Then he really lacks a lot of things."
