My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 682: Chapter 682: The Clear-minded Little Baby

The butler had just been reprimanded by Li Duidui with some sharply pointed words and was left a bit dazed. When Rong Yan called the little one back to sincerely apologize to him, he felt even more embarrassed. He had the overwhelming feeling that he had gone too far in his actions. Hurriedly he said, “I overstepped my bounds just now. I am very sorry, Miss Rong.”

Rong Yan repeated the same sentiment, “It was Duidui who behaved improperly, and should not have spoken that way. It’s fine if the butler doesn’t take it to heart; I will speak to him properly later.”

The more she said this, the more the butler felt perhaps he had overreacted just now, becoming increasingly embarrassed, “Miss Rong is being too polite. Well then, Miss Rong, since the young master has been delivered, I will take my leave.”

“Alright.”

As soon as he left, the little guy who had just been scolded immediately pouted his lips, gripping Rong Yan’s hand tightly, and said unhappily, “Mom, why did you scold me just now? It was his fault to begin with, he shouldn’t have questioned you!”

Rong Yan glanced at him, ignoring his anger, and counter-asked, “What do you usually call him?”

Little Baby turned his head, thought for a moment, and answered reluctantly, “Mr. Butler… Grandpa.”

Rong Yan raised an eyebrow calmly and said, “That’s right. You call him Mr. Butler Grandpa, which means he is older than you, your elder. He didn’t say anything bad about Mommy, he merely asked whether I was planning to have dinner here with you tonight, and you got angry and spoke out against an elder. Is that right?”

Li Duidui was rendered speechless by her words, unable to find a retort yet feeling something was not right, his cheeks puffing up with indignation as he said in a low voice, “But Mr. Butler was just about to criticize Mom a moment ago, I don’t like it when others bully Mom! I don’t like it when Mr. Butler bullies either!”

Rong Yan looked at him, her heart warmed by his protective little form. Although she had intended to teach him a lesson, seeing his aggrieved little face, she couldn’t help but soften. She stretched out her hand to pinch his cheek, and squatting down, she said, “Mommy knows Duidui wants to protect Mommy, and Mommy is very touched. But Mr. Butler works for Grandma, and Grandma is always so good to Duidui, and to Mommy as well. Even if one of Grandma’s people does something to make you a little upset, you should still show respect for Grandma, and forgive him, okay?”

“Otherwise, if Duidui and Mr. Butler have a conflict, it would be very uncomfortable for Grandma to be caught in the middle.”

Li Duidui still liked his grandma very much, his grape-like eyes showing a conflicted look, as if considering how to act should the same situation arise again. After a moment, he lifted his head, his pretty little face set in all seriousness, and with his plump little mouth he declared, “I’ve thought about it, if Mr. Butler does something wrong, I should tell Grandma first. Mom is my mom, and only Grandma can criticize Mom, because Grandma is Mom’s elder. If Mom does something wrong, Grandma can criticize Mom, but nobody else can! Mr. Butler can’t either! He’s not the daddy of the big bad villain!”

Rong Yan couldn’t help but snort with laughter at his clear logical thinking.

She had clearly been trying to explain to him that in terms of seniority, the old butler and his grandma were both his elders.

And yet, after much thought, Little Baby seriously told her that since the old butler wasn’t Li Shengxiao’s dad, he had no right to criticize her.

He was only 5 years old, where did all these intricate thoughts come from?

She had never discussed these distinctions of seniority with him, yet he understood them crystal clear, not mixing them up at all, and even argued back at her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
