Chapter 227 By now, Mother Lu understood this rascals routine (3)

Mother Lu told her that recently Zhouzhou had been ignoring everyone and didnt like to move around. All he did every day was sleep and drink milk. When she picked him, he would fall asleep in the next second. Other kids his age were already crawling around, but he spent his day lazily lounging in bed. Several strands of Mother Lus hair had turned white recently.

Ye Zhen was really worried that this little guy would grow up to be a bum.

Zhouzhou, how about we build something with your blocks?

Zhouzhou paid no heed to her. He was perfectly content with lying in Ye Zhens arms, holding his milk bottle.

Ye Zhen coaxed him until her lips turned dry, but the little brat still wouldnt move. He was a lazy little fellow. Vexed, Ye Zhen swatted his little but twice. Perhaps, his diaper was too thick, or maybe he was too chubby. The little brat wasnt afraid of the pain and even grinned at her.

Ye Zhen truly felt helpless. Taking care of a child was much harder than resolving issues related to a movie. Just as she was about to bring Zhouzhou upstairs, she heard Zhouzhou, who had a grip on her pants, raise his head and call out something that sounded like, Mama.

Ye Zhen didnt immediately notice. She crouched down and picked up Zhouzhou.

Mama

This time, Ye Zhen clearly heard him softly calling out mama. It sounded very close to mama, but his pronunciation wasnt standard, the tone was off.

Zhouzhou? Did you say mama?

Zhouzhou giggled. He opened his mouth and called out, mama again.

Mom! Ye Zhens surprise only lasted for a moment. With her heart leaping and feeling utmost joy, she yelled upstairs, Mom! Zhouzhou said mama!

Mother Lu rushed downstairs. He said mama? Zhouzhou, call grandma. Come, say grandma.

Mama

Mom! Did you hear that?

I heard it! Mother Lu smiled. Zhouzhous smarter than Beichuan. Beichuan didnt say mom until he was one year old. Our Zhouzhou isnt even one yet and already knows how to say mama. Hell definitely be even better than his dad when he grows up! Isnt that right, Zhouzhou?

Zhouzhou smiled at Mother Lu and spat out a bubble.

At the mention of Lu Beichuan, Ye Zhen hastily called Lu Beichuan. She wanted to share this news with him as soon as possible.

In Lu Corporations conference room, Lu Beichuan was listening to the CFO talk about this quarters financial report with furrowed brows. The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely quiet and oppressive. Everyone was holding their breath. Other than the sound of the CFO speaking, there was no other sound in the room.

Suddenly, a phone vibrated.

The screen on Lu Beichuans phone lit up. The caller was Ye Zhen.

The CFO stopped talking, and everyone looked at Lu Beichuan.

Lu Beichuan briefly considered before answering the call.

Zhouzhou said mama! Listen! Ye Zhens delighted voice came from the phone. Her voice was especially clear in the totally silent conference room.

Everyones expression stiffened. Soon after, they looked away and lowered their heads.

Lu Beichuan expressionlessly stood up. He swept his gaze over everyone. Ten minute break.

After saying that, he strode out of the conference room. The remaining people took a long exhale in relief.

Outside the conference room, Lu Beichuans expression softened as he held the phone to his ear. The corners of his lips were curved up as he listened to Ye Zhen chattering.

Zhouzhou, say mama for dad to hear!

He had no problem saying it earlier, but now that Ye Zhen brought the phone in front of him, he wouldnt say a word.

He was saying it earlier Ye Zhen mumbled, looking thwarted.

Mama

The gloom on Ye Zhens face immediately scattered like clouds moving aside to show the sun. She said with delight, Did you hear that?!

I heard. There was a warm and pampering smile on Lu Beichuans face. I heard Zhouzhou say mama. Congratulations.
