It was just that Yu Xiaobao’s innocent face was adorable and innocent. No one would believe that Yu Xiaobao had done all of this.

However, Zhou Shen’s face still darkened unconsciously.

With her eyes welling up, Yu Xiaobao’s voice seemed on the verge of bursting into tears the next moment. “I’m sorry, Uncle Zhou, I didn’t mean to. I didn’t…” Her voice grew more and more intense.

Zhou Shen quickly covered Yu Xiaobao’s mouth, fearing that she might burst into tears and that Yu Anwan might see, making it difficult to explain.

Zhou Shen and Yu Anwan had known each other for many years, and he understood how much Yu Anwan cared for Yu Xiaobao. If he made Yu Xiaobao cry, his progress with Yu Anwan might come to a halt. Therefore, Zhou Shen absolutely wouldn’t allow Yu Xiaobao to spoil his chances.

“Xiaobao, don’t cry. Uncle isn’t upset with you.” Zhou Shen suppressed his irritation and tried to soothe Yu Xiaobao.

Yu Xiaobao’s eyes flickered mischievously. Her big, watery eyes seemed ready to shed tears at any moment. “Really?”

“Yes.” Zhou Shen almost swore.

It was the first time he found dealing with a kid could be this tough. If he wasn’t careful, he’d end up in pieces.

Yu Xiaobao gave a hesitant nod and struggled for a moment. Then, she immediately removed Zhou Shen’s hand and looked at him with a hint of disdain. “Uncle, you smell like smoke. It’s so gross!”

Zhou Shen was speechless.

How could this little brat understand? That’s the scent of tobacco, the scent of a man! Zhou Shen grumbled internally.

However, when he looked at Yu Xiaobao, Zhou Shen had to continue coaxing her. “Alright, Xiaobao, from now on, Uncle won’t smoke, okay?”

“Up to you.” Yu Xiaobao’s tone was dismissive.

Zhou Shen attempted to enter, but Yu Xiaobao stood at the door like a stubborn guardian, refusing to let him in. Zhou Shen could not push Yu Xiaobao away just like that. In the end, the two of them were in a stalemate.

Zhou Shen could not move an inch, while Yu Xiaobao did not give him in.

“Xiaobao, can you let Uncle in, please?” Zhou Shen cajoled with a lowered voice. “Uncle bought you a complete Barbie doll collection and some beautiful dresses.”

Yu Xiaobao hesitated for a moment. “Oh, I already have the entire Barbie doll collection, and my godmother has bought me so many dresses. Mommy also told me not to accent gifts from isn’t anyone What if someone tries to sell me?”

Zhou Shen was speechless.

Why was this stubborn kid so hard to handle?

“Uncle isn’t just anyone. Uncle is Mommy’s good friend.” Zhou Shen reassured, feeling like his lifetime of patience had been exhausted by Yu Xiaobao.

“How good of a friend?” Yu Xiaobao blinked innocently.

Zhou Shen struggled to come up with an explanation, finally settling for a suppressed tone. “A very, very good friend.”

He and Yu Anwan weren’t particularly close, and they even had some disagreements.

In the past, when Zhou Shen had pursued Yu Anwan and failed, they had fallen out to some extent. Yu Anwan hadn’t spared him any face, and his pride prevented him from pestering her further. After all, plenty of women pursued him.

So Zhou Shen left in a fit of anger, not having initiated any contact with Yu Anwan for years.

However, these were things he absolutely couldn’t say in front of Yu Xiaobao. Moreover, now that Yu Anwan had surrendered, Zhou Shen knew how to use his advantage.

“Are you so good with my mommy that you want to be my daddy?” Yu Xiaobao smiled mischievously at Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen’s expression changed when he heard Yu Xiaobao’s words. He did not expect Yu Xiaobao to be so disrespectful.

But before Zhou Shen could respond, Yu Xiaobao’s demeanor changed. “If that’s the case…” She paused for a moment, then snorted. “Dream on!”

Zhou Shen was speechless again.

Never had he imagined that one day he would lose face so thoroughly in front of a mischievous child.

However, until he achieved his goal, he couldn’t do anything to this little devil. He had to coax her, endure whatever insults she threw at him.

Meanwhile, Yu Dabao remained an uninvolved spectator. He had no intention of helping or intervening.

In other words, Yu Dabao didn’t like Zhou Shen either. To be precise, Yu Dabao didn’t like anyone who showed interest in his mommy.

So in Yu Dabao’s eyes, Zhou Shen’s misfortune was well deserved.

Hence, Yu Dabao simply ignored Zhou Shen.

If he couldn’t even handle Yu Xiaobao, what was the point of pursuing Yu Anwan?

Just as Zhou Shen struggled to find words, the commotion outside woke up Yu Anwan.

Even though her sleep was deep, Yu Anwan was a light sleeper, especially sensitive to Yu Xiaobao’s voice.

She emerged in a silk slip dress, wanting to see what was happening outside.

Due to her movement, the strap of her nightgown slipped down, hanging on her arm. She looked incredibly sexy.

“Xiaobao, what’s going on? Where’s Dabao?”

Both Yu Xiaobao and Zhou Shen heard Yu Anwan’s voice simultaneously. Yu Xiaobao, who had been mischievous before, immediately transformed into an incredibly obedient little bunny, her voice so gentle that it could melt your heart.

“Mommy…” Yu Xiaobao ran toward Yu Anwan’s direction.

Yu Dabao’s voice came through calmly, “Mommy, I’m here.”

Yu Anwan responded with a soft “oh”. With both children present, she felt relieved. She yawned, still feeling quite sleepy.

Naturally, Yu Anwan embraced the eager Yu Xiaobao, who was rushing toward her. “Xiaobao, who were you talking to?”

“Uncle Zhou Shen,” Yu Xiaobao murmured. Her tone was still respectful, but she made her meaning quite clear.

Yu Anwan raised an eyebrow, fully aware of what Yu Xiaobao was implying. She didn’t like Zhou Shen.

However, Yu Anwan didn’t reveal this on the surface. She simply reassured, “Alright, Mommy will go and take a look. You and Dabao can go in and play first.”

“Okay.” Yu Xiaobao didn’t protest.

After all, Yu Xiaobao knew very well that she couldn’t stop Yu Anwan.

In such a situation, Yu Xiaobao obediently headed inside, reminding Yu Anwan, “Mommy, be careful, okay?”

Yu Anwan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I know.”

With that, Yu Xiaobao happily skipped away. After watching Yu Xiaobao depart,

Yu Anwan shook her head and calmly approached the door.

Zhou Shen was still standing by the door. His voice softened naturally as if he were coaxing her, “Wanwan, can I come in?”

Yu Anwan didn’t respond verbally. Instead, she calmly picked up her coat and put it on before making her way to the door.

She didn’t like just anyone entering her personal space, not even in a hotel.

In Yu Anwan’s view, only extremely close individuals could do such a thing. Her relationship with Zhou Shen wasn’t at that level, neither in the past nor in the future.

As a result, Yu Anwan walked outside, while Zhou Shen showed understanding by refraining from entering forcefully.

As Yu Anwan exited the suite, Zhou Shen’s gaze naturally fell upon her.

However, he quickly realized that Yu Anwan wasn’t looking at him. Her attention was focused on something else.

Zhou Shen furrowed his brows and followed Yu Anwan’s line of sight.

To his surprise, he saw Wen Jin!
