"You're right. Maybe I did put too much expectation on them."
With Leyan backing down to the sofa, Xiaoyun's mind was now at ease.
"Of course I'm right. When was I ever wrong? I'm the most clever guy out there."
"Yeah yeah... Don't get ahead of yourself now."
As Xiaoyun looked towards the kid with a smug face, Leyan couldn't help but move closer to pinch his face.
"Honey, you're so cute."
The answer suddenly sent a chill down his spine, almost as if his mind was predicting that something bad was about to happen.
"Ahem, don't call me cute."
Despite shoveling Leyan's hands away, Xiaoyun quickly noticed that her innocent smile was starting to look increasingly like a smirk.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I'll pick up Lily later today."
"Why all of a sudden?" Leyan questioned.
"You were busy upstairs cleaning, and she needed someone to go to her teacher's talk."
"Your schedule won't conflict?" Leyan questioned again.
"Don't worry about it."
"You sure?"
"I'm sure."
