Chapter 954 - Parenting 101 (2/2)
She picked him up saying, ”Cats are heartbreakers, mommy's darling little tiger. Their love doesn't last long but their indifference also doesn't last long.”
”Really?” asked Rowan in a small and innocent voice.
”Really,” agreed Xiu. She looked at Bo Jiu and asked, ”Do you have any dried fish?”
Bo Jiu immediately rummaged through her bag and pulled out a bag of dried fish. She put it all in front of Xiu who took a piece and gave it to her son. ”Go and offer it to the lofty kitty. Let me see how long she can resist the temptation of food.”
”Will she like me after that?” asked Rowan with anticipation shining in his eyes.
”Like you?” Xiu repeated strangely. ”She'll love you. History has proven that everyone is a slave for food. This is the world of foodies! No one can resist the temptation.”
”Got it,” Rowan nodded his head as if he understood everything his mother said. And even if he didn't, who cared? He'd just do as his mother said. Even his father didn't disagree with his mommy, how could he go dare to go against her words?
As Xiu put him down, he immediately ran over to Sweet Pea and offered the dried fish. And as if the universe was conspiring with Xiu or perhaps, Sweet Pea was her accomplice, the cat actually fell for this temptation and even rubbed her face against Rowan's face making the little boy giggle happily.
”Momma, look! Sweet Pea likes me now!” Rowan announced happily.
Xiu was pleased to see this expected result. As if she could go wrong. Food can do wonders!
”Wow! Xiu is awesome!” exclaimed Ava exaggeratedly.
”Of course! Xiu is never wrong!” Asteria also went along with her cousin.
But of them made Xiu blush who said, ”I feel so great when they think so highly of me.”
Bo Jiu's lips twitched when she saw all of this and she leaned over to whisper to Xiu, ”Boss, aren't you teaching these young kids the wrong things?”
”I'm teaching them the survival tactics, what's wrong with that?” retorted Xiu.
Bo Jiu couldn't really tell what was wrong with that but to be very honest, she really thought something was wrong with Xiu's teaching and yet it sounded right. Temptation had always been the bane of human dėsɨrės. Whether the temptation was of food, money, power, or even love! Although Xiu only talked about food, Bo Jiu felt like the word temptation in itself was enough to speak out loud.
Hell no!
