Chapter 351 Eating Candy Together, Enviable to All
At that moment, the women queuing outside the Lacer brand store saw the lucky person who snapped up the first earring.
The moment they saw Ning Yao, someone recognized her.
"Isn't she the heir of the Si family from the charity auction held by Elder Nie a few days ago...?"
"I was wondering why that little boy looked familiar. Turns out he's Mr. Wen's youngest son."
"He came to queue at Yuhua Mall before dawn. I arrived at five o'clock, and the young master was already waiting at the Lacer entrance. It turns out he came to buy earrings for his stepmother. The young master and Luo Xiyao have such a good relationship."
"Don't even mention that he's just a stepson; even my own son wouldn't do something like this for me."
"How wonderful it would be if I had a son like that..."
The closer Ning Yao got to Lacer's shop, the clearer these sounds became in her ears.
She really didn't expect that Wen Aixiu would come to Yuhua Mall early in the morning to queue up for a pair of diamond earrings.
The nearest Yuhua Mall is quite far from where my son lives; it takes at least an hour's drive.
Thinking of this, Ning Yao felt heartbroken. She first went to the counter and, under the envious gazes of all the ladies, took the limited edition earring engraved with her name. Then she squatted down, opened her arms, and gave her beloved son a hug.
"Thank you, baby, Mommy loves this gift."
No matter what, it was all from the child's heart, and Ning Yao was very touched, touched that her son had put so much thought into it for her.
"As long as you like it." As long as Mommy likes it, it's worth getting up early to queue up.
It's not just Si Si who can please Mommy; he can also buy her things she likes, and there will be even more to come!
As Wen Aixiu thought this, she reached out her small, milky-white hand and took the brocade box containing the earrings. She carefully opened it, took out the earrings, and blinked her big, grape-like eyes, looking at Ning Yao with anticipation.
"Mommy, let me put these on you. They'll look really pretty on your ears."
Wen Aixiu had met many people, from kindergarten teachers to various female celebrities, but none of them were as beautiful as Ning Yao.
Ning Yao is top-notch in both figure and appearance, at least according to Wen Aixiu. Moreover, her mother's ears are also very beautiful, with even helixes and moderately sized earlobes that are neither too big, which would make her look silly, nor too small.
Ning Yao smiled and half-squatted down so that her son could reach her ears to help her put on the earrings.
Worried about hurting Ning Yao, Wen Aixiu's movements were somewhat clumsy and slow, but he finally managed to put it on.
Someone nearby took a picture of this loving mother and son, and the attendant even took out his white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away his tears.
The young master is so young, yet he already knows how to care for his mother. He will surely be a very filial son when he grows up.
Ning Yao wore the earrings her son had given her, and took several photos with him, saving them in her album to post on WeChat Moments later.
This is a token of her son's affection, and she values it very much.
After receiving the diamond earrings, Ning Yao took her son to the amusement park on the fourth floor.
Although Wen Aixiu usually has a poker face and a mature demeanor like a little adult, he is still just a six-year-old child. When he saw the colorful playground, his eyes lit up instantly, especially since there were cotton candy vendors next to the playground.
The Wen family's nanny usually doesn't allow Wen Aixiu to eat too much sugar and strictly controls his diet.
The less likely a child is to encounter or eat something, the more interested they become.
Besides, candy is sweet, and no child can resist its temptation.
Ning Yao smiled and asked her son, "Do you want some candy? Mommy will buy you a few boxes, and you can try one of each flavor, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Aixiu arrogantly raised his chin, somewhat displeased, and his tone became stiff and awkward.
"I'm six years old, and I don't like candy. That's something only little kids and girls like to eat."
"If you like it, I'll buy it for you, but I'll pass; I won't eat it."
Ning Yao knew perfectly well what her son was thinking. The idea that boys shouldn't eat candy, or that children shouldn't eat candy, was probably taught to her by Wen Tingye. He just liked to have a stern face and was extremely strict with his son, but much more lenient with his daughter.
Ning Yao didn't disagree with Wen Tingye spoiling his daughter, but the child was only six years old, and showing favoritism was not good for her development.
Even if it's a boy, he's still a little boy who hasn't grown up yet. He doesn't need to be sensible too early. What's wrong with being a little childlike?
Ning Yao couldn't change Wen Aixiu's mindset in a short time, so she could only protect her son's self-esteem for now.
"Mommy wants some candy, baby. Will you come with Mommy to the candy store and buy me a few boxes of candy?"
"Yes, of course, that's no problem. I'll buy whatever Mommy wants."
Wen Aixiu was overjoyed and took Ning Yao's hand as they walked into the candy shop he had been looking forward to.
The candy house is designed in a very fairytale style. The whole house looks like it's made of candy, with all kinds of candies hanging everywhere you look, beautifully packaged and in various shapes.
Let alone the child, even Ning Yao liked it when she saw it.
Ning Yao looked at several of the candy shop's main products, which came in tin boxes with colorful outer packaging and various fairy tale characters.
"I'll take these boxes. Could you please wrap them up for me?" Ning Yao pointed to a pink candy box and then to a sea-blue one. The sea-blue box contained seashell-shaped candies, both soft and hard.
The pink candy box was bought for Wen Baoying. When Baoying comes over later, she can have candy right away, and she will be very happy.
After paying, Ning Yao opened one of the starfish-shaped ones, took a bite, and her eyes lit up with surprise.
Wen Aixiu, who had a sweet tooth, saw Ning Yao eating happily and gripped the ribbon of the gift box with both hands, secretly swallowing his saliva.
"Is it delicious?" Wen Aixiu stared intently at the unwrapped candy in Ning Yao's hand, his eyes filled with a longing that he himself could hardly detect.
"Try it." Ning Yao handed over the candy in her hand, peeled it, and stuffed it directly into her son's mouth.
The sweet, soft, and chewy texture exploded on her lips and tongue. Wen Aixiu smacked her lips, revealing a look of enjoyment.
The candy was really delicious, and he liked it very much.
Especially since his mother peeled the candy herself and put it in his mouth, it was sweeter than any candy he had ever eaten before.
The mother and son sat on the sofa in the candy shop's rest area, happily eating the candy from the tin box.
"Do you think Luo Xiyao is favored by her stepson because she buys him candy?"
"No way, I've given my husband's ex-wife's kids plenty of candy, all sorts of toys, robots, electric toys, things that go up in the sky and down in the sea, I've given them everything, but he just doesn't like me. He keeps making a scene every day, trying to kick me out and wanting his own mother to come home."
The two noblewomen who had been secretly following Ning Yao and Wen Aixiu looked puzzled.
Both of them were remarried, and their husbands had ex-wives and children from previous marriages.
The reason I followed Ning Yao was to find out how she coaxed children, hoping to learn from her experience so I could deal with my own little tyrant back home.
Unfortunately, when they came over, they didn't see any special way they interacted; there was no hitting or scolding, nor did they plead in a soft voice.
It was just a trip to the mall, buying candy, and then the mother and son sitting together eating it.
"Why don't we go over there later and ask the person involved directly?" one of the ladies decided.
She also wanted to be like Ning Yao, getting along harmoniously with her husband, children, in-laws, and the whole family, because that's what makes life happy.
“We’re complete strangers, why would they tell us the secret to taming our little tyrant?” Another noblewoman shook her head vigorously.
"Should we buy some gifts and send them over to try and win her over?"
"That's a good idea. People are bound to be obligated to give gifts. Let's give her a present first, make her happy, and then we can talk about other things!"
The two exchanged a smile and quickly got to work, each choosing a gift to give to Ning Yao upon their meeting.
