The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 1071 - I Have a Good Father

Chapter 1071: I Have a Good Father

Yuan Yuan rubbed at his eyes and looked as though he was sobbing.

He Xiyan froze and she suddenly felt her heart clench painfully. She hurriedly crouched down and patted his shoulder.

“Yuan Yuan, don’t cry. I have some matters to attend to this evening so I can’t go with you to the movies. Shall I bring you and your sister to the zoo in a few days’ time?” she suggested.

She wasn’t busy but she couldn’t come up with a suitable excuse. Nonetheless, she didn’t want to head to the movies with Yuan Yuan and Mo Yixuan. This wouldn’t reflect well on her and she would also have to spend time with her daughter at home.

Yuan Yuan sniffled when he heard that his mother was still reluctant to head to movies and more tears streamed down his cheeks.

“Sob… mom, you’re lying. I know that you aren’t willing to go. I won’t go if you’re not going,” he said.

He Xiyan was dumbfounded. Yuan Yuan was usually such a well-behaved boy, so she wondered why he was suddenly so sensitive.

She couldn’t come up with any alternatives to comfort her child. Yuan Yuan was more mature than his peers so she knew that he would see through her lies if she tried to brush him off with a lame excuse.

Xi Xi suddenly tugged on his sleeve.

She was smiling happily even though her brother was crying.

“I want to watch ‘Adventure King’ too. Let’s watch this movie together,” she said loudly.

Adventure King was a Disney film released several years ago. It was very popular with the children and it was also targeted toward this population, so it did very well in the box office and was a worldwide phenomenon. The moment it was released, children were all clamoring to watch it. Today was the third day since its official release and many children had already watched this movie, so it was a hot topic of discussion at school.

He Xiyan was completely dazed. She knew that the children liked this movie and had planned on bringing them to the movies that weekend but now…

She was wondering how to deal with the situation when Yuan Yuan’s phone rang.

Mo Yixuan had set a children’s song as Yuan Yuan’s ringtone. The children’s song was called ‘I Have a Good Father.’

Soon, this song played when Yuan Yuan’s phone rang.

The lyrics of the children’s song were as follows:

I have a good father. Our father works hard every day for the family, so we all love him.

I have a good father. My mother says that he is very n.o.ble. I will protect him forever. I will not fear even if the skies fall apart.

Father, come home soon for my mother and I are waiting for you. My parents don’t ever argue and I live in a loving family.

As I grow older, my father will age. I will love you forever and provide you with a loving family.

Yuan Yuan finally picked up the phone after half the song had played.

“Dad…” Yuan Yuan said and his voice sounded a little hoa.r.s.e because he had been crying.

Mo Yixuan immediately noticed how hoa.r.s.e his son’s voice was.

“What’s wrong? Yuan Yuan, are you feeling unwell?” he asked. Clearly, he had noticed the change in his son’s voice.

“No, I choked while drinking water earlier,” Yuan Yuan said.

He Xiyan was speechless and she looked at him in disbelief. She was shocked at how he lied so naturally.

“Yuan Yuan, I’m already at the gates of the mansion. Tell your mother and Xi Xi to come along as well. Let’s go for a meal before we head to Beichen for the movie.”

Yuan Yuan replied, “Sure, I got it.”

Then, he hung up and turned to his mother. He took his mother’s hand in his and asked, “Mom, would you please join us?”
