Kent was shocked by the horror words that he forgot to spit out the grape seed and swallowed it in one
mouthful. “Kid, do you know what a wife is?”
Sean met his gaze calmly, “My future mother-in-law is my future father-in-law’s wife. But, uncle, you
don’t seem to have a wife yet.”
The corner of Alan’s mouth twitched, while Kent was a mess.
Annie snorted and blushed with her hands on her waist, “Who wants to be your wife? Egomania. Do
you think you’re Prince Charming that every girl likes you?”
Sean smiled a little, revealing two cute little tiger teeth. “You’re not Snow White, and I’m not Prince
Charming, buy you have to pledge to marry me as a favor for saving you. Like your daddy and mommy.
Your mom saved your daddy, so your daddy pledges to marry your mommy.”
“Puhaha…” Kent couldn’t help but trembled from laughing.
Children nowadays were astonishingly mature. He initially thought that the Hoyle’s princess was
already different among the children with her same age. Unexpectedly, the Shen’s prince was even
worse.
“Hoyle, don’t you find that this kid is a good match for your little baby?”
“You’re his good match.” Annie stomped her foot and plunged into her dad’s arms.
“Oh, you’re shy. It’s not a good idea to set you a husband’s family early. The Shen Family is one good
family in a hundred,” Kent quipped.
Annie rolled her eyes with her arms around her daddy’s neck. “Uncle Kent, if you like him, then keep
him by yourself. Hurry up and marry Auntie Janetta, then have a baby girl to marry her to the Shen as
their child bride.”
Kent was choked by the kid again. She truly had touched a sore sport. He couldn’t help but be upset,
“He’s interested with you, little girl. What does it have to do with me? Maybe I’ll give birth to a son in the
future. I can accept that man falls in love with other man. But forget it if it’s my son. He has to marry to
a normal wife. This opportunity is better to give it to you, girl.”
“When my baby grows up later, it’s not like she can’t get married. What are you being so eager for?”
Alan asked him.
But even he said so, he still regarded that kid with special respect. He dared to steal his daughter from
him at such a young age.
The young deserved to be treated with respect. The Shen Family seemed to have another genius.
Kent deliberately teased Sean, “Kid, do you hear that? Your future father-in-law doesn’t even agree to
hand your future wife to you. What should you do?”
Sean wasn’t in a hurry too, “It’s okay. I’m still young now and glory is still shrouding my father. When I
grow up and have my own business, I think future father-in-law will accept me, and I will make my girl
fall in love with me.”
Annie pouted in Alan’s arms and snorted loudly, “Why do you want to make me like you? Narcissist,
snob.”
Sean also didn’t care, “One day, you’ll like me.”
Annie made a face at him, “Dream on.”
Olive listened in silence, thinking, what was wrong with children now? Even kindergarteners had
learned to confess. Weren’t they too advanced? She had ever seen a picture of primary students
kissed in the internet, but her baby hadn’t finished kindergarten, and someone had confessed wanting
to pursue her so fiercely. This shocked her too much and she felt that the world was going insane.
At this time, she couldn’t help but asked, “Little boy, how old are you?”
Sean answered politely, “Auntie, I’m ten this year.”
“Ten?” Kent obviously didn’t believe it and looked at him carefully. “You’re taller than the Hoyle kid just a
little. Are you ten? This little girl is only five. I thought you’re only seven or eight. Don’t make false
report of your age just to pursue a girlfriend.”
Sean wasn’t angry too and flatly said, “Boys do a little late in growing. What’s so strange about it? If
you don’t believe me, you can go to the Shen to check. Besides, your height is stuck already, but I still
have unlimited potential. In a few years, I may not be shorter than you.”
It was so tiring to talk with kid. How were the ways of the world now? Kent was deeply frustrated,
“Okay. Even if you can grow taller, what do you like about this little girl?”
Sean asked back, “I just like here. Do I need a reason?”
This question stopped Kent. If someone asked him what he liked about Janetta, he couldn’t say out the
reason too.
“You’re still young and your hair hasn’t grown yet. Do you know what love is?”
Sean said, “Although I haven’t completely understood, I’ll understand it slowly. Unlike some people who
have lived for almost half their life, they still don’t necessarily know how to talk about love.”
Kent was driven mad by the sensitive point. Both Alan and Olive couldn’t help laughing.
Only Annie curled her lips, but her big eyes still stole a few glances at the boy.
Being laughed at by a kid, Kent didn’t know where to put his face. “Kid, if you keep being impudent, do
you believe that I’ll throw you out from here?”
Sean didn’t look afraid, but looked helpless, “I can’t help it when someone likes to relate themselves.”
Alan wasn’t hurry to participate in this intensifying battle of speech. He mostly sat and observed this
little boy who wanted to pursue his baby.
Although he wasn’t necessarily accurate, he also made sense.
This ten-minute flight soon ended on the roof of a villa somewhere on the top of a mountain in a hidden
jungle.
There had been a doctor waiting. Olive and Annie were given a full-body examination as soon as they
got off. There was no problem and Alan was relieved.
Kent laughed at him being too nervous.
Although Alan had already arranged a car for the Shen’s young master and his two bodyguards to
leave, he saw the dusk sky and invited them to stay for dinner instead.
Sean gladly accepted. He even sat next to Annie.
How would Annie be happy? She ran away holding a bowl and sat next to Olive. She glared at him and
said, “Don’t come near me.”
Kent patted his shoulder sympathetically, “Kid, if you keep doing like this. She’ll treat you as poisonous
bacteria.”
Why did this sound a bit like he was talking about himself? Kent had a little feeling wanted to slam the
table.
Alan also said, “Sean, you should be able to see too that my daughter doesn’t like you.”
Sean calmly said, “Don’t you adults always say that feelings can be developed slowly? We’re still
young and we have enough time to get along.”
Nowadays, creatures like children were really difficult to deal with. Several adults expressed the same
emotion.
Annie aggressively stirred the rice in the bowl, “Who wants to develop feelings with you? You’re
suffering unrequited love.”
Kent showed his thumb up to Olive, “Your little girl has learned a lot of vocabulary.”
Olive did feel that Annie was a bit strange today. It wasn’t like the little girl usually didn’t have
something she didn’t like. For example, those children who easily cried or would unreasonably bully
other children didn’t interest her. She mostly wouldn’t take the initiative to provoke them. But, this was
her first time to be tit for tat like this.
Or, was her daughter shy being pursued by a boy?
But before this, it wasn’t like there weren’t other boys who had ever come up to her daughter and said
they liked her and could they be her friends. The little girl would happily be their friends, like innocent
playmates. They could hold hands and play together. She wouldn’t be blushing like now.
Alan looked at his bitter daughter and smiled softly, “Sean, you’ve heard that. My daughter isn’t willing
to get along with you. You’re too young, not suitable talking about love.”
Sean asked back, “Then, Uncle Alan, how old do you think I need to be to be suitable dating your
daughter?”
“That doesn’t matter. What matter is my daughter isn’t willing.” That was the point.
“She’s not now, but that doesn’t mean she’ll disagree in the future. Uncle Alan, what you mean is that
as long as your daughter agrees one day, you won’t object us dating.”
“My daughter has the freedom to date as long as you’re capable.” Alan predicted his daughter would
have high standard when she grew up.
It was actually a good thing to have an excellent childhood sweetheart. Although he didn’t have much
connection with the Shen, according to his knowledge, that low-profile family is considered a righteous
family. Jacob Shen and his wife had come together after many trials and hardships. Now they were
living in harmony, keeping a low-profile, and they rarely appeared in public to the extent that few people
knew them. A household like them should teach their children well.
Besides, he had seen it with his own eyes now. Young, a little childish, a little dominant like the Shen,
yet easily restrained himself. The little boy’s reaction was very quick and he could always deal with the
problems raised by the adults, even leaving the adults speechless. When he was an adult, he might not
be an ordinary person.
Sean slightly smiled, “Then I understand. Thank you for future father-in-law’s enlightenment. I just hope
you don’t forget what you said today.”
Annie felt very bored. She threw a sentence angrily at him, “Who do you think you are? Do you think I’ll
agree if you pursue me?”
Sean just laughed and didn’t say anything. He was young but he gave someone a sense of enigmatic.
When he left, Alan stood at the gate watching the car disappear into the night, looking lost in thought.
Kent stood behind him and quietly said, “Hoyle, you clearly know this kid is digging a hole. Why do you
jump in too?”
Alan chuckled softly, “It’s still unclear to say who will be buried in the hole. Let’s wait and see. The days
will be fun in the future.”
But no one thought that the moment Sean left, he disappeared for ten years.
Ten years later, Annie had grown into a slim sixteen-year-old beautiful girl, and Sean had also reborn
as a handsome man. But that was already another story.
While the present’s story was still going on tensely and orderly.
