I Became the Mother of His Child-Chapter 525: Let Me Explain

Song Yubin was the son of Song Chenhao and Liu Yuming, three and a half years old this year, nicknamed Dudu, chubby and cute, still carrying a unique scent of baby's milk, and his favorite thing to do was to find his grandma. The first thing the little guy did after waking up was to find his grandma and then cuddle in her arms, Xiuxiu, to eat snacks.

"Grandpa, where's grandma?" Little Dudu looked around the house and when he couldn't find Xiuxiu, his chubby cheeks deflated, ready to burst into tears. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"..." Yuanhuan, who was reading the newspaper, glanced up at the little guy and then continued reading.

"Grandpa, where's my beautiful grandma? Dudu wants to find beautiful grandma..." Dudu reached out and tugged Yuanhuan's pant leg, then, with a milky voice, explained why he was looking for Xiuxiu.

It's often said that grandparents favor their grandchildren. Although Yuanhuan had always been stern with his two sons since they were young, facing his few-year-old grandson who was as adorably clumsy as him and who also adored Xiuxiu immensely, Yuanhuan thought that such discerning taste, inherited from him, definitely warranted encouragement.

"She's in the flower house at the back." Yuanhuan benevolently pointed the way for his grandson.

"Thank you, grandpa." Dudu immediately smiled cheerfully and then, with his wobbly little short legs, toddled towards the direction of the Flower House. Being just a little fellow of three and a half years, he found himself somewhat lost halfway through the walk, standing at the Flower House door, "Grandma, where are you? Dudu wants to find beautiful grandma..." The little meaty child cried out helplessly.

Xiuxiu was tidying up a pot of top-grade orchid inside the Flower House. Hearing the little guy's shout startled her so much that she nearly snipped off a piece of the orchid. After catching her breath, Xiuxiu put down the scissors, and then she saw the pudgy Dudu outside the Flower House, his head topped with a cute and clueless little hat.

"Grandma, Dudu's tummy is hungry." Dudu said, his little chubby hand patting his round belly.

"Is our little Dudu hungry? How about grandma takes you to eat an apple?" Xiuxiu always paid attention to nutritious diet. She was always critical of Song Chengguang and his siblings' picky eating habits, and now with her grandson, she continued to adhere to this principle.

"Okay, eat fruit, and also candy fruit," Dudu excitedly clapped and tried to make a deal with Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu had no idea why, but someone in the family must have passed down this trait; she herself rarely enjoyed sweet treats, hardly ever indulged in a piece of candy in a year. But whether it was the older Song Chenhao or the current Little Dudu, both had a strong sweet tooth, especially Little Dudu who was incredibly enthusiastic about candy.

"No, you can only eat apples," Xiuxiu pretended to be stern as she made the request.

"No! No! I also want to eat candy fruit," Little Dudu insisted stubbornly.

"No, you can't," Xiuxiu refused coldly.

Little Dudu blinked his eyes and, realizing that his pleading and protests were futile, he pouted sadly and then indignantly turned and headed towards the living room, his determined little legs expressing his displeasure with each wobbly step, "Hmph, hmph, grandma's mean."

"Mommy, grandma won't let me eat candy fruit." Little Dudu walked into the living room, then pitter-pattered towards the kitchen to find Liu Yuming. Liu Yuming loved spending time in the kitchen and didn't really supervise her son much as Little Dudu wasn't very clingy, and secondly, she felt that her mother-in-law seemed more experienced in disciplining children.

But her son, Little Dudu, would often come to her, usually after getting rebuffed by his grandmother, before he would turn to her.

"Go ask your grandpa," Liu Yuming knew full well how much her own son loved candy, and the only person who could change Grandma Xu Xiuxiu's mind was Grandpa Song Yuanhuan. However, under normal circumstances, Grandpa Song Yuanhuan only supported Grandma Xu Xiuxiu's ideas, and it was under rare circumstances he would indulge his grandson. She felt embarrassed; having married into the Song Family for almost five years, those rare circumstances had yet to occur.

Honestly, she was quite looking forward to such an event happening.

"Okay, I'll ask Grandpa." Little Dudu was successfully persuaded by Liu Yuming and then turned to head toward the living room to find Song Yuanhuan. The little one spun around, not at all tired in pursuit of candy.

"Grandpa, Dudu wants candy!" Dudu, with tears in his eyes, approached Song Yuanhuan with a sad tale.

"Liu Yuming, don't always restrain him when the child wants some candy," Song Yuanhuan said honestly. He was truly a wonderful grandpa doting across generations; he felt that such a small request from his grandson must be fulfilled by a grandpa, right?

"Dad, it's not that I won't let him have it, but he's recently had too many sweets and got cavities. Mom said he needs to cut down on candy," Liu Yuming felt quite wronged and helplessly begun to explain, dragging Grandma Xu Xiuxiu into it—in truth, it wasn't she who forbid her son from having sweets.

"Mmm, Grandpa, Grandma bad! She won't let Dudu have candy! Dudu wants candy," Dudu whined, clutching at Song Yuanhuan's pants leg.

"…" Song Yuanhuan paused and lowered his eyes to look at his little grandson, then nodded. "Mmm! Your grandma is right," Song Yuanhuan concurred, his statement seemingly well-considered.

"…" Little Dudu was stunned.

"…" Liu Yuming sported an 'I knew it' expression. The respect commanded by the grandmother had always been more effective than orders. The grandfather was too indulgent with his wife, so much so that it was limitless. It seemed his earlier stance on scolding his daughter-in-law had vanished.

"What do we do? Dudu wants candy," Dudu lamented, clearly troubled.

"If your grandma said you can't have it, then you can't," Song Yuanhuan explained earnestly to Dudu, adding, "Little grandson, it's not that Grandpa isn't helping you, it's just that I simply follow your grandma's words."

"Grandpa bad!" Dudu complained, then burst into tears.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xiuxiu had just finished tending the top-grade orchids in the Flower House and was heading back to the living room. Before she even stepped in, she heard her little grandson's loud wailing.

"Grandma, Grandpa is bad..." Amid blurry tears, Dudu rushed into Xu Xiuxiu's arms.

"Right, grandpa is bad, don't cry! Good boy, Dudu is a good boy!" Xu Xiuxiu hugged the little one, concurrently soothing him while glaring at Song Yuanhuan.

"Listen to my explanation," Song Yuanhuan, looking innocent yet guilty, tidied up the newspaper in his hands, then walked over to Xu Xiuxiu. He pried Little Dudu out of her arms, took her hand, and led her upstairs, completely disregarding the tearful grandson who was snubbing him. He felt that in such moments, he should prioritize his wife first.
