Doting Billionaire Chapter 4592

Whenever they made a mistake, they were terrified of their mum finding out.
If Mum knew, a scolding was the least of it, a whipping was possible too.
Mum would use that small bamboo whip, which stung a lot but wouldn’t cause injury.
Of course, as long as they didn’t cause big trouble, Mum was still very gentle, at most just giving a verbal reprimand.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
While thinking about his wife and kids, Sunan’s phone rang. Seeing it was his wife calling, he quickly answered, not even waiting for Shen Xiaojun to speak before saying, “Darling, I won’t be home for lunch.”
“You and Ameng don’t need to wait for me. I’ll be back in the evening. No engagements tonight, I’ll take you out shopping, watch a movie, then head home, without Sumeng.”
“Darling, I told Zhan Yin I’ll take a week off in a bit to take you and our son out to play. Where do you want to go? I’ll book the hotel in advance.”
“Daddy.”
It was his son Sumeng’s voice that came through.
“Daddy, are you leaving me at home again to secretly take Mummy out for nice food and fun?”
“Where is Daddy taking us to play?”
Sunan laughed, “Oh, it’s Ameng! Are you at Mummy’s company?”
“It’s boring at home, so I followed Mummy to the company. It’s even more boring here. Mummy’s so busy, I’m bored to death, so I took Mummy’s phone to call Daddy.”
“Daddy’s bad, always leaving me at home and taking Mummy out to have fun.”
The little guy grumbled about his dad.
He really was left at home with the nanny or grandparents while his parents went out to enjoy themselves. By the time they returned, he was already fast asleep.
Sometimes, when he knew in advance his parents were going out, he’d prepare, determined to follow them no matter what.
But he’d still get left behind, not even knowing when his parents slipped out.
His parents were too sneaky, always taking advantage of his young age.
“Daddy, I want to go shopping too. I want to watch a movie.”
Sunan said, “Daddy was just teasing your mummy. Daddy’s very busy too. Tonight, I have engagements, business to discuss, banquets to attend. Where would I find time to take your mummy to a movie?”
“Besides, your mummy’s busy too. Your Aunt Haitong hasn’t returned yet, so her workload has been split between your Aunt Shang and your mummy. So, your mummy has no time tonight either.”
“This afternoon, Daddy will call your grandma to pick you up from Mummy’s company. Go home with Grandma.”
“Play at our house. Our home is big enough. You can play with your little brother.”
“If you’re really bored, you two can have a fight.”
Sumeng pouted and said, “I’m the big brother, a year or two older than him. Even if I beat him, it’s not a fair win.”
“You’d have to beat him first. Your brother’s parents are both skilled in martial arts. Your aunt’s family runs a martial arts school, and she’s been training since she was young. Your brother may be younger, but his skills aren’t worse than yours.”
Sumeng retorted defiantly, “Every time I spar with him, he loses to me.”
“That’s because you’re older and have a natural advantage. If you don’t keep practicing, your brother will surpass you soon. Then, as the older brother, you’ll be outdone by him. See if you’re embarrassed then.”
Sumeng: “…”
