I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 339 – Parenting Troubles (1)

When the whole family was sitting around having breakfast the next morning, Zhouzhou’s eyes still darted around, and he kept scooting himself closer to his grandmother. He refused to look at or talk to Lu Beichuan. Apparently, he was still intimidated from the night before.

Mother Lu, too, was giving Lu Beichuan an angry look. All the dishes on the table were Zhouzhou’s favorites.

Lu Beichuan took a look, had one bite, and put his chopsticks down.

“Mom, don’t let Zhouzhou have too many sweets. It’s bad for his teeth.”

After Lu Beichuan had said that, Zhouzhou closed his mouth immediately and refused to drink the sweet porridge from his grandmother.

Mother Lu gave Lu Beichuan an angry stare.

Lu Beichuan ignored her and said to Zhouzhou, “Lu Zhifei, haven’t I taught you to feed yourself?”

Zhouzhou took a quick look at Lu Beichuan and carefully reached out to the porridge in front of him with a spoon. He refused to let Mother Lu feed him again.

DRIP. A drop of tear fell into the bowl of porridge.

Mother Lu put down the chopsticks and gave Lu Beichuan a reproachful look.

Ye Zhen kicked him under the table and said to him softly, “You are going too far.”

“I’m sorry, Daddy,” said Zhouzhou softly to Lu Beichuan. “Zhouzhou will eat on his own from now on.”

Both Ye Zhen and Mother Lu were surprised.

Ever since Zhouzhou had stopped being bottle-fed, he had been hand fed by Ye Zhen and Mother Lu and would refuse to eat if he wasn’t fed. He was the living testimony of a spoiled, rich kid who stretched out his arms when his clothes were held up in front of him and opened up his mouth when food was fed to him. They had an entire mansion full of people following behind him. Both Ye Zhen and Mother Lu felt that he was still young and that was entirely alright.

Problem was that he had been getting worse as of late. He pushed back a lot when it came to meal time and would refuse to eat if anything didn’t go his way. They could no longer coax him with toys. He had been quite a headache for Mother Lu.

Now, the bowl of porridge that they had been trying to feed to him forever was gone in less than five minutes, and he ate that all on his own, even. Mother Lu was somewhat surprised by that.

Lu Beichuan nodded and didn’t say too much. He left the house and headed into his office after taking a look at the time.

After dinner, Mother Lu sat quietly on the couch by herself. Ye Zhen walked over and smiled at her, “What’s the matter, Mom?”

Mother Lu sighed and looked over at Ye Zhen. “Zhenzhen, do you think I was wrong in giving in too much to Zhouzhou?”

“Why… why would you say that?”

Ye Zhen knew that most grandparents tend to dote on their grandchildren; as such, she didn’t say much when Mother Lu doted on Zhouzhou.

“I have done some self-reflection. Beichuan didn’t do anything wrong. Look at how docile Zhouzhou was this morning. He ate his breakfast all by himself. You had no idea. I didn’t have to wake him up this morning. He woke up and got dressed on his own. He neither rolled in bed nor made a fuss. It had always taken over half an hour in the past to get him out of bed…”

“Mom, isn’t that a good thing?”

“That got me thinking. Did I dote too much on him in the past? Should I change the way that I educate him? What if… what if I spoiled him rotten…”

“No need,” said Ye Zhen. “You raise Zhouzhou however you like. Beichuan and I will be responsible for his education. He will be fine. Don’t worry that much. Look, you defended him last night, but he was still well-behaved this morning. You do what you want. It will be fine.”

“You and Beichuan only have this one child and he will be succeeding the Lu family’s fortune in the future. I don’t want him to grow up to be a spoiled brat because of me. What if…”
