Chapter 133: Chapter 112: So You’re That Mysterious Neighbor
Huh?
Qin Songlin froze.
’This isn’t how I expected things to go!’
The next second, Xiao Juzi’s figure appeared in the video feed.
The little guy’s voice was milky and tearful. "Uncle, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have run off by myself and caused Mom and Grandma to misunderstand you. Grandma thought you were a bad guy today and hit you. I’m apologizing to you for Grandma. I’m sorry, Uncle~"
Qin Songlin was utterly stunned!
He desperately wanted to pull the sensible Xiao Juzi into his arms!
The urge was almost unbearable!
He clenched his fists, trying to control the trembling in his hands. Sucking in a breath, he repeated over and over as if chanting a spell:
"Your mother raised you so well! Your mother raised you so well—"
This only made Shu Yao find Doctor Qin even more strange and bizarre.
"Doctor Qin, let’s leave it at that for now!" Shu Yao’s voice now held a trace of vigilance. "I’ll find another opportunity to give you a formal apology!"
But what she was actually thinking was, ’It’s best to keep my distance from a strange man like him!’
With that, she unilaterally ended the call.
After the video feed disappeared, Qin Songlin felt like crying but had no tears. He wanted to see more of his precious nephew!
He couldn’t resist calling Qin Shiwei.
With a somber expression, he spoke in a voice filled with loneliness, "Commander, do you have any idea how adorable and sensible your son is?! Can you really bear to make him wait twenty years to officially meet his own uncle?"
Qin Shiwei’s cold voice advised, "You’d better not get any ideas about that child. I’ve already told Yaoyao that as long as she doesn’t kill you, she can beat you to within an inch of your life."
Qin Songlin looked hurt and resentful, instinctively touching his neck. The memory of Shu Yao choking him earlier today still sent a shiver of fear through him.
’When she gets scary, that woman is like a monster!’
But he had to admit, she had raised Xiao Juzi very well.
Truly, very well!
Qin Songlin suddenly asked, "When are you two having a second child?"
’Once they have a second child, my sister-in-law won’t be able to focus all her attention on Xiao Juzi. Maybe there’s a chance my precious grand-nephew can return to the Imperial Family soon!’
’I’m a genius!’
"..." Qin Shiwei was silent for a moment. "Never mind when Yaoyao and I will have a second or third child. Don’t you feel any shame that you and the Imperial Sister-in-law haven’t even had one yet?"
’Ouch, bro! Right in the feels!’
Qin Songlin sighed with a serious expression. "As for me, I’m leaving it up to fate."
After learning of Xiao Juzi’s existence, he was in even less of a hurry.
Qin Shiwei emphasized again, "I told you, don’t get any ideas about the child."
He knew Shu Yao only wanted to give the boy an ordinary life and didn’t want their son to shoulder such a heavy burden so early.
Qin Songlin was a bit dismissive.
"Perhaps... my dear sister-in-law will change her mind." He suddenly began thrusting his hips forcefully, like a heavy machine gun, making bizarre movements while cheering his brother on. "As long as you work hard and hurry up and make a second and third child!"
An Emperor like this... it was unbearable to watch!
Qin Shiwei ended the call directly. Out of sight, out of mind.

Having reflected on his actions, Xiao Juzi asked timidly in a small voice, "Mom, I already admitted I was wrong and apologized to Grandma and Uncle. Can you take me to the park today?"
Shu Yao glanced at him, her expression still stern. "Let Grandma take you."
Sensing his mother was still angry, Xiao Juzi mumbled self-reproachfully, "Mom, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Please don’t be angry anymore~"
"I’ll have to see about that." Shu Yao narrowed her eyes and said coolly, "You’ll go to the park with Grandma today. As long as Grandma tells me you didn’t run off again when you get back, then I won’t be angry anymore."
Shu Xin was deeply moved.
’My daughter is creating an opportunity for me to bond with my grandson!’
’Then again, maybe I’m just overthinking it.’
Xiao Juzi glanced at his grandmother, then cautiously tugged on a corner of Shu Yao’s pants.
"But, I want Mom to come with us..."
"Do I have to accompany you everywhere you go?" Shu Yao suddenly turned strict.
"Okay, okay!"
Xiao Juzi gave in, walking over to his grandmother in defeat, his head hanging low.
Shu Xin led Xiao Juzi out the door.
Watching them board the Flying Machine, Shu Yao immediately sent a message to Qin Shiwei:
"Where are you? Let’s go have some fun~"
A second later, she received a location ping from Qin Shiwei.
Staring at the conspicuous red dot on the map, Shu Yao was completely bewildered.
’Isn’t this my current location?!’
’What’s going on?’
Just then, the electronic door of the adjacent apartment slowly slid open.
A robot butler approached Shu Yao.
"Madam, hello."
Shu Yao immediately recognized it as her next-door neighbor’s robot butler.
"Madam, the Commander requests your presence." The robot butler’s voice sounded warm, yet it failed to bring any warmth to her heart.
