LOT -Chapter 313 Childhood Arc: Here Come Little Wei and Little Qin

After getting a good beating, everyone thought that this time Lin Mo would have learned her lesson. But unexpectedly, this was only the beginning.

From then on, Lin Mo completely let herself go. Lin Shangshu finally realized that the daughter of his dreams would forever remain just that—a dream. Reality was always cruel.

“Lin Mo’er! I’ve told you not to sit on my neck all the time! Can’t you find somewhere else to sit?”

Lin Shangshu pulled Lin Mo off his neck for what felt like the hundredth time. She had been on his stomach just before going to sleep, and yet every morning when he woke up, it felt like his throat was being choked.

She was over two years old and still slept with her parents every day. The older two had been sleeping alone by this age.

Lin Mo yawned and snuggled into her mother’s arms. “Daddy, you’re so stingy.”

Right now, her favorite thing was the soft, fragrant embrace of her mother. She used to like sleeping on her father’s stomach, but now she preferred her mother’s arms.

And every time she got pulled out, it was obvious her father was jealous.

Lady Lin held her daughter and gave her husband an annoyed look. “She’s still so little, what does she understand? Don’t be so harsh with her all the time. Once the child grows a little older, it’ll be fine.”

Hearing this, Lin Shangshu put on his clothes with a grim expression. Was this really about her age? This little rascal was clearly doing it on purpose!

She could understand them perfectly well, yet every time she pretended not to and acted pitiful.

“Wife, don’t be fooled by her. This little one is very clever. She even tricked Qianhua completely. Though she’s young, she has a lot of cunning.”

Lin Mo wriggled out of her mother’s arms and made a face at Lin Shangshu.

What cunning? She had simply asked Ji Ji-ge to help her fetch something from the kitchen.

Since they wouldn’t let her go to the kitchen herself, she needed someone to help. Her older brother and sister wouldn’t let her eat too much, and Ji Ji-ge was easily persuaded, so he had to be the one.

Lady Lin understood what her husband meant, but seeing this little one with a face so much like his, she truly couldn’t get mad.

Watching the big and small ones bicker was genuinely entertaining—one couldn’t articulate her words clearly, while the other got too angry to speak.

No one knew exactly how they started arguing, but it happened several times a day.

Life was comfortable for Lin Mo, but not so much for the unlucky duo.

Wei Zheng’an got beaten again for his peculiar outfit.

“Waaah~ Why can’t red go with green? These two colors look so good together! Why are you hitting me?!”

Wei Zheng’an rolled on the ground. His red robe and green pants were particularly eye-catching, and his boots were white.

He looked like the most stylish kid on the street!

Wei Laodie’s anger caused him to tremble. “The colors aren’t the problem—it’s the combination on you!”

“If you wear that outside, my face will be completely lost!”

Neither he nor his wife were like this—how could they have a son with such abnormal taste?

Fortunately, this rascal had a reasonably good-looking face; otherwise, with him causing trouble like this every day, it would have been disastrous.

“I’m telling you now: if you want to go out, change your clothes. Otherwise, don’t go!”

Wei Zheng’an: “No! I will defend my outfit to the death!”

But it wasn’t his fault—the problem was theirs!

Wei Furen sighed helplessly. Ever since her son could dress and feed himself, she hadn’t taken him back to her family’s home.

She couldn’t risk the embarrassment. Her family’s children were all delicate and cute, perfectly dressed. If she took this one out, it would be a total humiliation!

Other kids looked angelic; this one looked like a little demon.

Back when she was unmarried, her style was considered excellent among the young ladies of the capital.

Now she had a son like this—she couldn’t imagine how her rivals would mock her if they saw him.

When she married, everyone envied her good marriage. Her husband had a promising future, no concubines at home, and he adored her. Pregnancy and childbirth were smooth.

But the real challenge came after having a child—and it was no ordinary challenge.

Watching her son continue to resist his father, Wei Furen said helplessly, “An’er, change your pants and shoes. You can wear the red top, but listen to your mother about the pants and shoes, okay?”

If he wouldn’t change everything, at least changing half was better than the eyesore he currently created.

Wei Zheng’an: “Okay!”

Fifteen minutes later, the couple finally smiled in satisfaction at the bright young boy in red.

But the next second, Wei Zheng’an somehow produced a turquoise hat and plopped it on his head.

Their smiles froze. Where did this hat come from? They didn’t remember him having one.

After putting on the hat, Wei Zheng’an happily took out a mirror to admire himself.

“Mom, Dad, isn’t my hat pretty? I bought it with Qin Zheng the other day. He got a lighter color, but mine’s brighter. My taste is better, right?”

Seeing that glowing turquoise on his head, the couple closed their eyes in despair.

He knew to buy a lighter color, but their son chose something so bright—anyone would recognize him at a glance.

Wei Furen: “No hat, or you can’t go out!”

Wei Zheng’an, disappointed: “Ah~ okay, I’ll wear it when I come back.”

This argument utterly exhausted the couple. Others worried about education; they worried about fashion.

What could they do? They could handle educational matters later, but fashion taste needed correcting now!

They couldn’t have him grow up still wearing such garish colors. Then forget finding a wife—he probably wouldn’t even have friends.

Meanwhile, Qin Zheng was also changing into new clothes, each perfectly suiting his temperament.

A delicate, miniature young gentleman, though somewhat naive, causing concern for his parents.

Academically, he was fine, but emotionally, he was too innocent.

Perhaps all his intelligence from a past life had been channeled into this one, leaving him emotionally blank.
