In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 190: Why Don’t You Like Tuantuan’s Little Brother?

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Why Don’t You Like Tuantuan’s Little Brother?

And until the day before today, when Xie Yihang played with Tuantuan, although he was a bit naughty, he never deliberately bullied Tuantuan, so Xu Jinzhi didn’t interfere too much.

She didn’t know why Xie Yihang had suddenly become like this today, but no matter what had happened, she wouldn’t allow Xie Yihang to treat Tuantuan this way!

Xu Jinzhi took a deep breath and calmly asked Xie Yihang, "Yihang, tell me, is this your toy?"

Xu Jinzhi was very clear that this was not Xie Yihang’s toy. It was prepared by Old Master Xie because Xie Yihang and Tuantuan occasionally came over to play.

Xie Yihang glanced at Xu Jinzhi, seemingly a little afraid, and his small body couldn’t help trembling.

Liang Shiyu couldn’t help speaking out, "Jinzhi..."

"Shut up!" Xu Jinzhi interrupted Liang Shiyu mercilessly and gave her an icy look.

Liang Shiyu fell silent, and only then did Xu Jinzhi take her eyes off her and look back at Xie Yihang, "Yihang, tell your auntie, who said this toy was yours."

Xie Yihang didn’t speak; he looked towards his own parents as if seeking their help, but they paid him no attention.

Hesitantly, Xie Yihang said, "It’s mine."

"The toy was bought by your great-grandfather and is here for everyone to play with. Why would you think it’s yours?" Xu Jinzhi continued to ask.

Everyone was staring at Xie Yihang. He pouted as if he wanted to cry and mumbled, "Great-grandfather said it was bought for me."

Xu Jinzhi didn’t speak; she could imagine that perhaps her grandfather had said this, but even the grandfather hadn’t anticipated Xie Yihang refusing to let Tuantuan play.

"Tuantuan, apologize to brother Yihang and say that you won’t touch his toys again," Xu Jinzhi said gently to Tuantuan.

Although Tuantuan didn’t understand why, as the toy was clearly meant to be shared by everyone, it had suddenly become Xie Yihang’s alone.

But since Mom asked him to apologize, Tuantuan without hesitation apologized to Xie Yihang, "I’m sorry."

"Xu Jinzhi." Xie Linchuan furrowed his brows, knowing something about this situation wasn’t right, it shouldn’t have gone this way. He intervened, "This is Yihang’s fault; I’ll have Yihang apologize to Tuantuan."

"It’s fine, let it be," Xu Jinzhi said indifferently.

"Let’s continue with the meal," Xu Jinzhi said, then picked up Tuantuan and walked towards the dining room.

What was supposed to be a pleasant family meal had been soured by this incident.

Xie Linchuan didn’t lecture Xie Yihang further, as doing so in front of everyone now would seem more like an act.

After the meal was over, Xu Jinzhi was the first to suggest leaving.

Due to the incident that had transpired, no one had much to say, allowing Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan to leave with Tuantuan.

Once they had left, the living room returned to an eerie silence; no one spoke, and no one knew what to say in that moment.

But even if they didn’t know what to say, this incident wasn’t just going to pass.

Xie Suian looked towards Xie Linchuan, "Linchuan, you have become much more stable in your work over the past two years, but you still need to pay attention to Yihang’s education."

"I know," Xie Linchuan said, his head slightly lowered, feeling uneasy inside.

A few moments later, Xie Linchuan looked over at Old Master Xie. Seeing how distressed his grandfather was, Xie Linchuan felt even worse. "Grandpa..."

"I’m tired, I’m going upstairs to rest. You all should go back and rest early too," Old Master Xie said in a voice filled with age and weariness before he stood up and walked towards the stairs.

When Xie Linchuan, along with his wife and son, was heading back, he didn’t say a word. He was wondering why this was happening, considering that Yihang initially liked Tuantuan very much.

Since his relationship with Xie Yanchuan was not like that of normal brothers, he had always thought about getting Yihang and Tuantuan to get along well, hoping it would help ease the tension between them.

Everything had been fine before, so why did it turn out like this this time?

By the time he got home, Xie Linchuan’s expression wasn’t as grave as before. He beckoned to Xie Yihang, "Yihang, come here."

"Linchuan, indeed it was Yihang’s fault, but Yihang is still young; he doesn’t understand that much," Liang Shiyu said, eyebrows knitted in worry.

In Liang Shiyu’s eyes, Xie Linchuan must be very angry by now, and she was a bit worried that he might hit Xie Yihang.

Xie Linchuan just glanced at Liang Shiyu and then looked away, once more directing his gaze to Xie Yihang, "Yihang, Dad has something he wants to talk to you about. Can you chat with Dad for a bit?"

Xie Yihang hesitated for a moment, thinking he was definitely going to be scolded, but he also felt that he and Dad were so close; if he wasn’t good with Dad, Dad might not like him anymore.

So after hesitating, Xie Yihang still walked towards Xie Linchuan and called out weakly, "Dad."

Xie Linchuan smiled at Xie Yihang then took his hand and walked towards the children’s room.

In the bathroom of the children’s room, Xie Linchuan was helping Xie Yihang take a bath. He asked softly, "Yihang, you used to like Tuantuan a lot, why did you bully Tuantuan today?"

Xie Yihang hesitated for a moment, "I don’t like Tuantuan anymore."

Xie Linchuan paused, then continued to ask, "Why don’t you like Tuantuan anymore?"

"He takes my things, so I don’t like him anymore," Xie Yihang went on.

This time Xie Linchuan frowned. He asked Xie Yihang, "What does Tuantuan take from you?"

Xie Yihang was silent, and Xie Linchuan could feel that it wasn’t that Xie Yihang didn’t want to say it, but rather that he also didn’t know what Tuantuan could possibly take from him.

After all, Xie Yihang was only three years old; he couldn’t understand so much.

Xie Linchuan then changed his approach and asked, "Who told you that Tuantuan would take your things?"

Someone must have told Xie Yihang this.

After a brief silence, Xie Yihang said, "Uncle."

"Uncle?" Xie Linchuan repeated.

Xie Yihang nodded, "Uncle said, everyone likes Tuantuan, and then they won’t like me anymore. I don’t want everyone to like Tuantuan."

"Yihang, those who like you won’t stop liking you just because they like Tuantuan, and those who don’t like you won’t start liking you just because they don’t like Tuantuan," Xie Linchuan comforted him.

"And Tuantuan won’t take your things."

"You are still young now and don’t understand what all this is about. When you grow up, you will naturally understand."

"But what you did to Tuantuan today was wrong. Do you understand?"
