BHBF Chapter 88.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 88.1: Playful Son (67)

Shao Jiashu had no idea what Shao Yu was thinking, instead she still had a girlish look of admiration on her face.
Shao Yu took a deep breath and thought to herself that this kind of thing would happen to a girl when she grew up.
Shao Jiashu looked at the wreckage of the lanterns and said, “He was still a good brother.”
“Good brother?”
Shao Jiashu pointed at the remains of the bunny lantern and said, “He bought it for his sister. His sister loves bunnies, so he ran all over the lantern festival just to find her a bunny lantern that would suit her.”
Shao Jiashu added, “Dad, you can put the little fish lantern aside for now, but you need to make the little rabbit lantern more refined.”
It goes without saying that its more exquisite for whom.
Shao Yu just felt his fists stiffen.
But Shao Jiashu had no idea about it, and instead kept describing the original appearance of the little rabbit lamp.
Shao Yu was very quick and before long, he had made an exquisite rabbit lamp.
Although this rabbit lamp is not exactly the same as the one that was stepped on last night, it is also exquisite and cute.
After Shao Jiashu took it, she immediately cheered and praised, “Daddy is really amazing.”
Shao Yu was naturally very happy to be praised by his daughter, but when he thought about what the rabbit lamp was used for, he felt upset.
Shao Jiashu urged again, “Dad, there’s also the little fish lantern. You have to make an identical one this time.”
Although Shao Yu looked reluctant, his hands were very skillful. Compared to the little rabbit lantern, when Shao Yu was still able to express himself freely, this time for the little fish lantern, Shao Yu could only do it according to Shao Jiashu’s description and make sure to make it exactly the same.
“If you go find the stall owner and ask him to make another one, it might be faster,” said Shao Yu.
Shao Jiashu seemed to have suddenly realized something and said, “Yes, I can go find the stall owner, that’s the only way to find him.”
After hearing this, Shao Yu immediately said, “Don’t do that.”
“Why?” Shao Jiashu was puzzled.
She had lived for fifteen years and this was the first time she fell in love. She didn’t feel shy at all. Instead, she felt that since she had met him, she had to seize the opportunity.
“If he is your true love, no one can take him away from you. You don’t have to look for him deliberately. He will definitely appear again. If you force him too much, he may not be your true love.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Yu said this not to break up his daughter’s marriage, but matters between men and women cannot be determined by other things. If the woman is too eager, it is usually not a good thing.
Shao Jiashu seemed to be thinking about this, but she quickly added, “But Daddy also said that when you encounter an opportunity, you should take the initiative to fight for it.”
“Is this your chance?” Shao Yu asked unhappily.
Shao Jiashu nodded.
Shao Yu immediately said, “Girls should be reserved when encountering such things. What would he think if he knew that you were asking around about him?”
Shao Jiashu understood immediately, but then asked, “Then I won’t take the initiative at all?”
Shao Yu shook his head and said, “Some things need to be taken initiative, but some things should never be taken initiative.”
Shao Jiashu was cheered up after hearing this and immediately started asking questions.
“You have to be casual, not too deliberate…” Shao Yu talked incessantly.
Shao Jiashu was very smart and served him tea and water.
Shao Yu took the tea, took a deep sip, and then concluded, “That’s it. Don’t be too deliberate. Do you remember that?”
Shao Jiashu nodded vigorously.
Shao Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was she teaching her daughter how to pursue men?
Shao Yu quickly added: “None of this is important. Do you know what is most important?”
Shao Jiashu immediately asked, “What’s the most important thing?”

Shao Yu said, “You have to understand your bottom line. You have to know the limit of what you can endure. If he crosses that line, no matter how good he is in other aspects, you must give up on him. Even if you are engaged, even if you are married and have children, you have to leave. Remember?”

Shao Jiashu nodded, seeming to understand, and then asked, “Then where should my bottom line be?”

Shao Yu said: “I’m talking about the moral bottom line.”

Shao Jiashu immediately said, “Of course. My husband must be a gentleman of moral integrity.”

Shao Yu only felt that his morals were flawless, and everything else was just minor details. He said, “The bottom line is unwavering. As for the rest, it depends on your own opinion, such as bad breath, body odor, and snoring.”

Shao Jiashu immediately covered her nose and said, “I can’t bear this.”

Shao Yu added, “This is a minor issue and can be improved through treatment, so it’s not a big deal.”

Shao Jiashu felt relieved after hearing this, but when she thought about whether Jing Shang still had bad breath or body odor, her worries faded a little.

After receiving a lot of technical guidance from Shao Yu, Shao Jiashu was ready to put it into practice and asked, “Daddy won’t let me go to the stall owner to block him, so where should I meet him? How can I create a sense of surprise this way?”

“Being inadvertent is one thing, but whether he is your true love is another.” Shao Yu said.

Shao Jiashu frowned.

Shao Yu said, “Don’t worry, you’ve already met twice, so I’m sure you’ll meet again a third time.”

Shao Yu was not talking nonsense. People often say that things never happen more than three times, and fate does indeed often favor “three”. If two people are destined to be together, they will definitely meet for the third time.

Shao Jiashu was frightened by Shao Yu and no longer thought about looking for anyone.

But these past few days, Shao Jiashu has been feeling quite bored in the palace.

The princess did not make things difficult for her, but just kept a distance from her. The teachers in class did not make things difficult for her either. Shao Jiashu should have had it easy, but the Seventh Prince kept sending people to deliver things to her.

But the gifts were all worthless things, either palace flowers, cakes, or worthless trinkets.

If Shao Jiashu was an ordinary girl, she would have been attracted by him long ago. However, Shao Yu had warned her in advance, and she was still thinking about Jing Shang, so she remained unmoved. Even the little gadgets sent by the Seventh Prince were secretly disposed of by her.

That day, Shao Jiashu was about to take a nap when suddenly a palace maid ran into the side hall where she was resting.

“Miss Shao, Her Highness invites you.” The palace maid said softly.

Shao Jiashu had seen this palace maid at the princess’s place, so she didn’t think much of it and followed her into the rockery in the imperial garden.

Seeing that the palace maid was about to take her into the rockery, Shao Jiashu stopped. Shao Yu had already told her that she could wander around the palace gardens, but she must not enter the rockery.

Rockeries and rocks are a high-incidence area for accidents in palace fighting dramas. Shao Yu didn’t want her daughter to suffer any loss for no reason, so she reminded her again and again.

“Miss, Her Highness is waiting for you inside.” The palace maid urged.

Shao Jiashu stood still and said, “It’s too dark inside the rockery. I don’t like it, so I won’t go in. If the princess has any instructions, you can go in and tell me.”

The palace maid was stunned when she heard this, but quickly said, “Miss Shao, this is Her Highness’s order. Are you going to disobey it?”

The palace maid, who had been respectful all the way, suddenly became serious.

Shao Jiashu said, “The rockery is not stable. If something is loose and a rock falls, it wouldn’t matter if it hit me, but it would be terrible if it hit the princess. The princess is worth a lot of money, and I can’t bear the consequences if something happens to her. Please tell Her Highness to stay away from the rockery.”

The maid scolded her, “How dare you! It’s not your turn to tell Her Highness what to do.”

Despite her attitude, Shao Jiashu was not afraid at all. Instead, she just looked at her quietly. No matter how she urged her, Shao Jiashu remained unmoved.

“Shu’er, it’s really difficult to invite you to see me.” The seventh prince walked out of the rockery.

The Seventh Prince knew that he had a handsome face, and he put on a smile that he thought was very gentle.

But Shao Jiashu only felt greasy.

The Seventh Prince felt that since he had given Shao Jiashu so many gifts, she must have fallen deeply in love with him, so his attitude became more and more intimate.

He took two steps forward and asked, “Why isn’t Shu’er wearing the palace flowers I gave her?”

Shao Jiashu didn’t wait for him to get close, and took two steps back, saying, “Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness.”

The Seventh Prince thought she was worried because she hadn’t worn the palace flower, so he said magnanimously, “Nothing, why would I be so worried about such a small matter…”

Before he could finish his words, the Seventh Prince watched Shao Jiashu turn around, lift her skirt, and run away.

The Seventh Prince stood there in a daze, watching Shao Jiashu’s back as she ran away, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Shao Jiashu took everyone by surprise and ran back to the side hall where she was resting. After closing all the doors, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shao Jiashu knew very well what the Seventh Prince was planning. After they met, he started giving her gifts non-stop. Although the gifts were given frequently and with great care, Shao Jiashu only felt impatient.

If it was just giving gifts, Shao Jiashu could still tolerate it, but today he started to invite her to a private meeting in the name of the princess. Shao Jiashu didn’t want to stay in the palace anymore.

Shao Jiashu didn’t know whether the princess was involved in today’s incident, but the princess and the seventh prince were sisters from the same mother and had always been close relatives, so she didn’t plan to tell the princess about it.

One afternoon, the princess noticed that Shao Jiashu looked unhappy, and she was merciful enough to ask her something. After Shao Jiashu shook her head to indicate that nothing was wrong, the princess did not ask any further questions.

“Dad, please ask for leave for me tomorrow.” Shao Jiashu said.

Shao Yu arrived: “Tomorrow is a day off, and I’ll take another day off the day after tomorrow.”

Seeing Shao Yu agree, Shao Jiashu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Shao Yu asked again what happened.

Shao Jiashu originally wanted to solve the problem herself, but the Seventh Prince had already crossed the line at this time, so Shao Jiashu could only complain to Shao Yu.

“Even if the Seventh Prince is not very successful in the future, he can still become a prince. Aren’t you tempted?” Shao Yu asked with a smile.

Shao Jiashu shook her head and whispered, “I heard from the princess that although the Seventh Prince hasn’t married a wife yet, he has concubines and concubines. I don’t want to compete with other women for a man.”

“Now that the throne is vacant, there might be a chance for someone to ascend to the throne in one step.” Shao Yu said softly.

He must explain everything possible to his daughter so that she can clearly understand what she gains and what she loses.
