CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: I’LL GIVE YOU THREE SECONDS TO TAKE BACK THAT SENTENCE (1)

Beichen Rui bent down, scooped up Jingxi, and with a long stride, walked to the desk and placed the little guy on it.

Jingxi stood on the desk, making him eye level with Beichen Rui.

"Kid, are you tired of living?" he asked coldly, looking at the little bean.

No one had ever dared to challenge his authority; this kid was the first.

Not only did he challenge it, but he also dared to say his hearing was bad. Seems like he’d treated the kid too well in the past two days, making him arrogant.

Jingxi curled his lips into a smile, full of disdain and contempt. He was a miniature version of Beichen Rui.

With a cold tone, he began, "Uncle, not only is your hearing bad, but your memory is too. I’m only three years old, I haven’t lived enough yet, so how could I be tired of living."

His face was that of a three-year-old, but his words were like those of a little adult.

If not for his appearance and age, Beichen Rui would have doubted the kid’s age.

"Sharp-tongued, not bad, he’s got my Beichen Rui’s blood." He spat out the words through gritted teeth.

Jingxi showed no fear, smiling sweetly and said, "Uncle, can you not be so narcissistic? I’ve never said you were my daddy."

He had never said he acknowledged this daddy and had never admitted to being part of the Beichen Family.

It’s just that they insisted on saying so.

Unable to control the gossip, Jingxi simply ignored it and let them say whatever they wanted.

Anyway, as long as he didn’t call him daddy, he wasn’t.

"Heh..."

Beichen Rui let out a cold laugh, eyes narrowing slightly.

The woman who taught this kid to be so sharp-tongued must be something. He was increasingly interested in his mommy.

Seems like he had to speed things up, he couldn’t believe there was someone Beichen Rui couldn’t find.

Retracting his thoughts, he said lightly, "Alright, you’ve got guts."

He wanted to see how long this brat could keep up the tough act.

Jingxi smiled without speaking; he didn’t quite understand Beichen Rui’s words, so he chose to stay silent.

The two of them stood there, one on the desk, the other on the floor, staring each other down.

Housekeeper Lin watched from the side, his heart pounding wildly.

He didn’t know whether to intervene or not.

If he intervened, who knows if Young Master would take out his anger on him. If he didn’t, he feared Young Master might suddenly get angry and deal with Jingxi.

At that moment, Housekeeper Lin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He was really afraid that Beichen Rui would suddenly strike Jingxi. He wondered if he should go get reinforcements.

The first person Housekeeper Lin thought of was Beichen Jue. So, while the two weren’t paying attention, he tried to sneak away quietly.

Afraid of being seen by Beichen Rui, he took very small steps, trying not to make any noise.

But who was Beichen Rui—before Housekeeper Lin could take a few steps, he’d already been discovered.

No need to think to know what he wanted to do. Without even turning his head, he said coldly, "Housekeeper Lin, where do you think you’re going?"

Housekeeper Lin felt a chill down his spine, his footsteps stumbled. Then, turning to look at Beichen Rui, he stammered, "Young, Young Master, I just remembered there’s something I haven’t handled yet, I need to take care of it right away."

"Oh? Really?" Beichen Rui looked at him with obvious disbelief, "Have a servant handle it."

His words made it clear, and Housekeeper Lin didn’t dare not heed, quickly responding, "Yes."

After saying this, he backed away to the side.

Having failed to get reinforcements, he could only pray internally for Jingxi to say a little less.
