CHAPTER 420

Bai Xiaojin's preschool graduation was today... Finally.

The little boy has been so excited that he made everyone sleep late. His first-ever graduation, both of his parents would witness it just like other kids. What could be even better than that?

"Mummy! Daddy! Wake up," Bai Xiaojin barged into their room.

"Jin, take care of your son," Bai Renxiang groaned as she used the thick blanket to cover her head.

"Not now. You take of him first then I will take care of you later," Li Fengjin did the same.

This child of theirs was too energetic. He kept talking throughout yesterday evening when they got home. He made sure everyone listened to him.

Also, Bai Xiaojin was just too cute to ignore so they found it hard to leave or send him to sleep. Even Mr and Mrs Li who had not relaxed since they arrived were not spared, especially Mr Li.

So it was not their fault that they were too tired this morning to attend to him.

Bai Xiaojin noticed that his parents were not making a move and pouted. He climbed the edged of the bed and did the next unimaginable thing.

"Canon ball!!!!" He shouted as he jumped and landed recklessly on Li Fengjin's stomach.

The latter almost threw up as his face went from light to blue. Was his son trying to make him spill out his guts?

"Xiaojin!" Bai Renxiang sat up with her eyes wide in horror. "Why would you do that to your dad?" She asked- disbelief laced in her voice.

Bai Renxiang gazed down pitifully at Li Fengjin whose brows had furrowed and his jaw had tightened. Although he did not yelp in pain, she still heard the low sound he made.

And the way his eyes were still closed tight made it obvious tgat he was in pain.

"Daddy, wake up. Mummy is up now," Bai Xiaojin seemed unaffected by what he did as he pinched Li Fengjin's cheek.

"I'm up... I'm up already," Li Fengjin's voice was strained as he lifted his upper body with his elbows.

"Come here, you little punk," Bai Renxiang carried him off of Li Fengjin and gave him a light spank on his butt. "Why in God's name would you jump on his stomach? You caused your daddy pain."

"But daddy told me that is strong. He is not hurting, right daddy?" Bai Xiaojin said innocently.

"R-Right. I'm okay," Li Fengjin smiled and Bai Renxiang looked at him in disbelief.

'Okay? Your face has turned pale and you are saying you are okay? Unbelievable,' she mused.

"You see mummy. Daddy is the strongest there is... Now that you are both awake, let's brush our teeth together. Let's go, let's go," Bai Xiaojin jumped down from the bed and ran to the bathroom.

"Are you really okay? That was a good landing there," Bai Renxiang could not help but ask.

"It is nothing I can't manage. Besides, did you hear how he praised me? In my son's eyes, I am the strongest," Li Fengjin said with a happy smile.

Bai Renxiang shook her head as she chuckled. He was not worried about the landing but was happy about the praises he got. Right now he was behaving like a kid who got praised by his parents.

"You are unbelievable. I swear," she left the bed and walked to the bathroom door.

But before she could touch the doorknob, she was pulled into his sturdy chest and received a toe-curling kiss.

"Good morning, my love," the culprit greeted in his usual husky morning voice.

Bai Renxiang's face heated up. "Good...g-good morning," she stuttered her own greeting.

"Don't ever forget to do that if we wake up together every morning," he tapped lightly on her small nose.

"Even with my morning breath?" She asked.

"Yes. With whatever breath you have as far as I get my kisses from you."

"Hmph. Cheesy Mr Li," she mumbled.

"You like me being cheesy."

"I–"

"Daddy, mummy, what is taking you so long? Hurry up," Bai Xiaojin interjected from the bathroom.

"We are coming, my love."

After they were done washing their faces and brushing, the trio went downstairs to meet Mr and Mrs Li already seated at the dining table with breakfast already served.

"Ah! Here they," Mrs Li exclaimed. "I wonder what took you guys long."

"Good morning, momma, dad. I'm sorry I overslept. I should have made breakfast for everyone," Bai Renxiang scratched her cheek awkwardly.

'Yikes! I have not married into their family yet and I am already this tardy.' She cried inwardly.

"Oh, no worries, Renxiang honey. I did not mind preparing breakfast at all. Come and sit beside me and eat," Mrs Li gestured for her to sit on the chair on her right.

"Oh no, dear. Sit beside your father instead. You already enjoyed her enough, Ming," Mr Li pulled out a chair beside him for Bai Renxiang to sit.

"Why you... I want her to sit beside me," Mrs Lu argued.

"No. She should sit beside me."

"No."

"Yes."

Bai Renxiang alternated her gaze between the couple. She was amused with the way they both wanted her to sit with them. Unlike her father who did not mind where she sat after giving her seat at the table to Bai Ming.

Sensing that his wife's mood was turning sad despite the funny argument of his parents, Li Fengjin stepped in.

"Ahem! You guys, stop arguing over my wife now. It is pointless since she would not be sitting beside any of you but me. So back of," Li Fengjin pulled Bai Renxiang with him.

He made her seat in such a way that she was neither beside his mother nor his father. He sat between his mother and Bai Renxiang while Bai Xiaojin sat beside Mr Li.

Fair enough, right? Yeah.

Both Mr Li and Mrs Li had nothing to comment on seeing how their son ended everything in his favour. They could only sigh and start their breakfast.

The atmosphere was lively and sumptuous. Thankfully, Bai Renxiang's damp mood had brightened up which was a relief for Li Fengjin.
