"Ah-Jie! Ah-Jie!"
Xu Mey's voice was ringing in the silent house while Jie was accompanying his little ones to play lego. Okay, he was only playing with his little Juan since Bao was more interested in building a plane model or something. Jie had long accepted that his son's brain worked way differently. There was no way one could understand him.
Xu Mey showed up at the doorway and began, "Can you believe it, Xiamu didn't even know that he's gonna be a father?! Haha... Gosh, I'd have loved to see his expression but I couldn't."
Jie smiled up at her and said, "Zelie must have planned to surprise him but you ruined it."
"Are you blaming me right now, dear husband?" her eyes squinted at her husband.
Jie immediately flailed his hands, "No. Not at all. Why would I blame my baby? It's Zelie's fault for planning it so poorly. She should have done a better job at this."
"Scaredy-cat!" Bao remarked without hiding his disdain for his own father.
Before you start saying anything, think from the little kid's perspective.
Xu Mey has time for everyone. She's trying to be best for everyone but what about being the best mother? Isn't that also her responsibility?
I'm not blaming her either. She has too much on her plate but more than that, she kinda has some fault as well.
