My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife - Chapter 269

“Mama!”

Little Snow came running towards them with a bright look on his face. Seeing such brightness made Shi Enxi return the smile. She already knew the reason behind such a smile but she still couldn’t help but find it adorable when she saw how his eyes sparkled in delight when he saw the paper bag that she was holding.

She did promise that she would bring him some snacks. Since she knew that he would directly try to snatch up the paper bag from her, she raised it a bit, to get it away out of his reach.

When the boy saw his mother’s action, a small pout appeared on his lips, and instead of reaching out for the food, he hugged his mother’s leg. He raised his head and looked at her with his big eyes as he used his charms against her. “Welcome home mama! I missed you!”

Shi Enxi couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw how sharp her son became. He was like a small animal who was learning how to think just so he could gain favors from his strict mother.

“Have you been behaving at home?” She asked, raising a brow in amus.e.m.e.nt when she saw the boy nod his heads a few times.

“Of course! Teachers can all say Xuexue behaved!” He exclaimed proudly. “Nanny is witness too!”

Shi Enxi turned her gaze towards the nanny who followed Little Snow from behind. “Is it true?”

The boy turned towards his nanny expectantly, impatiently waiting for her to say yes.

“Yes, madam, the young master has been behaved the whole day.”

“He didn’t bribe you into saying that, right?” Although despite the question, Shi Enxi could already tell that something happened based on the nervous look on the nanny’s eyes.

Before the nanny could even answer her, Little Snow interrupted, “I’m sorry, mama! Xuexue accidentally broke a vase!”

“Accidentally?” From Little Snow, she looked at the nanny again, this time, narrowing her eyes at her.

“It’s true. The young master has accidentally broken a vase. He was running when he bumped into it.”

“Were you hurt?” Lu Mello spoke up this time, looking worriedly at his son.

Little Snow shook his head, “No, dada. Nanny was able to protect Xuexue.”

“Then… did you got hurt in his stead?” Shi Enxi asked the woman who had her head low since earlier.

“No, no one got hurt, Madam.”

“See? It was an accident, mama.”

She heaved out a sigh. She leaned down a bit just so she could pat her son’s head, “I will let go of this matter this time, but next time, be good and don’t run in the halls, okay?”

“Okay! Can Xuexue have cupcakes and egg pies now?” He pursed his lips as he looked at the paper bag she was carrying.

She gave him the paper bag, “You can eat it after dinner, okay?”

“Okay!” He excitedly looked at the contents of the bag and smiled happily when he saw the food inside. He raised his head and smiled sweetly at her, “Thank you, mama!”

“How about me?” Lu Mello asked, crossing his arms. “You never greeted me since earlier.”

“Did dada bring something for Xuexue?” He tilted his head to the side as he looked at him in an adorable manner.

“…” This boy…

“Why do I have to bring something for you just for you to greet me?” The child’s father asked as he crossed his arms.

“Because this is MY home.” Little Snow replied as if he was stating a fact.

“But it belongs to me,” retorted his father.

“Dada’s name is not written on any walls though.”

“And is your name written on a wall?” Lu Mello asked in amus.e.m.e.nt this time as he suddenly felt a déjà vu.

The boy nodded his head and grinned, “Yes!”

Shi Enxi turned towards the nanny which made the other woman flinch upon receiving her inquiring gaze. “He didn’t vandalize any wall, did he?”

“No…” She trailed off, she was hesitating on whether or not to tell her but under the mother’s scrutinizing gaze, it was hard to keep her mouth shut. “Except for his room…” She continued.

“Lu Xueren.”

Shi Enxi had a warning tone in her voice which made the boy exclaim in his defense, “My room, my house!”

“Yes, it belongs to you but this house also belongs to us. You can’t do anything to it without asking our permission.” She sighed. “And you, you should have told me about this Ai Lun.”

Ai Lun, the nanny lowered her head, “I apologize for my mistake…”

“This is why I don’t want a young girl like her to be our son’s nanny.” Shi Enxi heaved out another sigh.

The nanny they hired for Little Snow was a University student who was recommended by Mo Jing since the girl was someone she knew. She was only accepted since she was endorsed but who would have thought that she would be so incompetent. Shi Enxi expected more than this since it was Mo Jing who suggested her.

Little Snow reached out and held on his mother’s coat, “Mama, don’t scold nanny Ai.”

“She won’t learn if I won’t scold her.”

“But nanny Ai was just listening to Xuexue…” He hanged his head low in guilt. “I’m sorry mama… It’s Xuexue’s fault…”

“What do you mean?”

“Xuexue’s been telling nanny Ai that mama will fire her if she doesn’t listen to me…”

Shi Enxi: “…”

Lu Mello: “…”

To blackmail someone at such a young age…

She pinched her nose bridge, “This is your fault, Mello.”

“… My fault?” Lu Mello looked at her in confusion.

She lowered her hand and looked at him with a glare, “To whom else will he inherit such personality other than you?”

“…” He looked at her as if he has been wronged by her. He sighed and, in his defense, he calmly replied, “For your information, I have always been a good child. If it’s ‘blackmailing’ we’re talking about, I believe it is your forte, not mine.”
