I'm Brother-in-Law, Not Uncle
I'm Brother-in-Law, Not Uncle
…
Xuxu was sitting on the couch at the main hall's reception area, chatting with a five-year-old little boy of mixed-race.
They were chatting in English and Yan Rusheng could hear her laughter from afar. He couldn't make out their conversation, so he hastened his footsteps to check out the identity of this person she was chatting with.
The moment he saw that the person was of the opposite gender, his face fell immediately.
Xuxu's back was facing him and didn't know that he was walking towards her. When the little boy saw Yan Rusheng, he pointed at him and told Xuxu, "Sister, your boyfriend is here."
Xuxu lifted her brow and was amused. "Huh? You know my boyfriend?"
She had assumed this playful boy was joking and didn't take his word seriously.
Because she didn't have a boyfriend.
When Yan Rusheng stood behind her, the little boy said to Xux, "This uncle is wearing the same clothes as you. My mommy said that only couples wear couple outfits."
"Oh!" Xuxu was stumped for a second before she spun her head around. Yan Rusheng was leaning lazily against the couch; he had a hand stuffed in his pocket, and the other was holding her jacket. He looked quite imposing.
He lowered his head and peered at her with knitted eyebrows, apparently annoyed. "I thought you went to the ladies room?"
Xuxu shrugged and pouted. "The bathroom wasn't working upstairs, so I came downstairs instead."
"Sister, your boyfriend is really handsome, but I'm much more handsome." The little boy praised Young Master Yan and himself at the same time.
Xuxu laughed at his remarks. "You naughty boy! He might get revenge on you since he's really petty."
She was mocking and teasing him in front of an outsider, causing Young Master Yan's expression to turn even gloomier.
The little boy asked naively, "Shouldn't a man be open-minded?"
"Haha…" Xuxu burst into laughter when she heard the boy's innocent words. "You're right, but there's always an exception."
The little boy nodded, although he didn't fully understand. He turned to look at Yan Rusheng with a look of contempt. "Uncle, a man needs to be open-minded."
Yan Rusheng frowned with displeasure. "Little brat, are you tired of living?"
The little boy widened his huge, sparkling eyes in disbelief. "Uncle, how can you threaten a kid? You really are petty."
Yan Rusheng was speechless…
Why are kids so annoying these days?
If he carried on squabbling with this boy, he might uphold his 'petty' reputation and throw him out of the building.
With this thought, he stretched out his hand to grab Xuxu's wrist. "Wen Xuxu, it's time to go home and sleep."
Xuxu had been waiting for him to return together, so she stood up cooperatively.
Then she waved at the boy. "Tim, I'm leaving. Bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye, Sister!" Tim smiled politely at him before turning to Yan Rusheng. "Uncle, Mommy said a man has to treat a woman gently."
Young Master Yan glared at him menacingly and corrected him, "You should address me as Brother-in-Law, not Uncle."
Xuxu was speechless and rolled her eyes at him.
This guy is simply too petty and calculating. Why did he have to correct how the boy addressed him?
Does he think that being called an uncle sounds too old?
