Chapter 1221: Chapter 123 Who Apologizes First_1
With no choice, Ye Zi’an had to go to his son’s room.
Upon entering, he immediately noticed the room wasn’t filled with the usual laughter and chatter.
Lele was holding a small sketchbook, indifferently flipping through it.
As for Yangyang, he was pouting, with his small toys scattered all over the floor, clearly in a huff.
Seeing Ye Zi’an come in, Yangyang didn’t throw himself at him like he used to.
"Daddy..." he called out and then gave no more reaction.
"Tsk, tsk," Ye Zi’an squatted down in front of him, "why aren’t you happy?"
"Baby happy! Baby happy!" Yangyang snorted twice.
With that, Ye Zi’an burst into laughter. Whoever said this kid was dim; just look at him trying to mask his feelings, obviously, he was just maturing slowly.
Yangyang didn’t understand why he was laughing and gave him a strange look before continuing with what he was doing.
"I heard you were causing trouble while your brother was writing?" Ye Zi’an’s voice came softly.
Yangyang glanced at him but said nothing.
"You ruined your brother’s calligraphy paper," Ye Zi’an continued. "That was your fault. You should apologize to your brother."
Ye Zi’an wasn’t worried that Yangyang couldn’t understand these things. If he didn’t get it the first time, he would after being told a few more times, and he would definitely understand when he was older.
But he knew his eldest son would certainly understand.
So he said, "Brother scolding you was wrong, and brother should apologize to you. So, who should apologize first?"
As expected, after he finished speaking, Lele came over, "Little brother!" and he took the initiative to grab Yangyang’s hand, "I’m sorry."
Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an had both told him that when he did something wrong, he should apologize, and he should say thank you when praised by others.
Seeing his youngest still standing there in a daze, guessing he might not have understood, Ye Zi’an said, "Yangyang, say sorry to your brother."
Well, Little Yangyang didn’t fully understand what Ye Zi’an said indeed, but he knew somewhat when he had done something wrong. So, he just repeated whatever his father told him to say.
"Sorry!"
"Alright, now you two are friends again. No more being unhappy; otherwise, daddy will be unhappy too. Do you hear me?"
Lele nodded at these words, and so did Yangyang.
Ye Zi’an felt very relieved; having children who mature early is beneficial, at least it saves a lot of worries.

Yang Chuxia saw the two brothers holding hands again the next day and couldn’t help looking at them a little longer.
"Mom, let’s go play," Yangyang said, eager to go out and play as soon as he regained his spirits.
"No, mom has to accompany Aunt Dongyang today."
She was thinking of asking Dongyang and Mu Shaoling what was going on, as she had rushed to Mianyang before the new year and wasn’t allowed to reveal any news about herself. There must be a problem, and as a friend, it was necessary to show concern.
So, when Dongyang got up later that day, Yang Chuxia went to look for her.
"Did you rest well last night?"
"Very well." Definitely many times better than the guest house she stayed in. "Why are you looking at me like that? It’s kind of creepy."
Yang Chuxia propped her chin with her hand, scrutinized the Commandery Princess Dongyang from head to toe, making her feel a bit uncomfortable with the detailed examination.
"What’s the trouble with you and Mu Shaoling?" she asked bluntly, which was her way, "Don’t say there’s no problem, okay? If you think of me as a friend, I naturally think of you as one too. And I’m also friends with Mu Shaoling. If there’s a problem between my two friends, I naturally want to know what’s going on."
Seeing her face turn a bit dim upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia continued, "The last letter from the capital told me and Brother An that you two had mysteriously disappeared for two months."
