Guide to tame my villainous husbands - Chapter 428

Chapter 428: A promise unfulfilled Chapter 428: A promise unfulfilled – Shao Hui blushed in embarrassment, it wasn’t that he dared not to say his wishes but he did not know how to.

When he was living with his mother, she hardly came to look for him as she was busy with the hunting guild and the new and young mer concubines in her harem.

With new beauties added to her harem every day how could his mother even bother about his father?

The two of them lived alone in the small courtyard that was given to them.

His mother only came to him when she wanted him to lend her his powers and only then would she ask him what he wanted– other than that, she hardly paid any attention to him.

But the thing was that even after promising that she would bring him this and that, Madam Shao would still forget what she promised to him.  And little him would stay in the courtyard waiting for his mother to return and bring him, his reward.

He still remembered that there was one time when it was past Christmas and he asked his mother to bring him a small toy as a gift for his birthday.

He did not dare to even dream that his mother would bring him a toy on Christmas as she had never done that but since she promised him that she would spend the last day of the year with him and even gift him, Shao Hui was hopeful.  Ten years ago in a small courtyard.  ‘ Hui Hui, your mother might be busy with something,’ father Shao told twelve-year-old Shao Hui who was staring at the door with a pair of shiny eyes.

‘ You should come inside and cut your mountain steak with daddy.’  Little Shao Hui turned to look at his father and shook his head before saying excitedly, ‘ Daddy, Mother promised me!

We did a pinky promise, the one where we hook our fingers together.

She did that with me, she will definitely come or else she will have to swallow a hundred needles.’  His daddy looked at him with a face filled with hesitation.

Though he seemed as if he wanted to say something to Shao Hui, Father Shao still held back and nodded, ‘ If that is what you want but once it’s ten o clock at night, we are cutting the steak all right?’  Shao Hui nodded obediently.

He sat on the swing and then waited and waited.

When his father spoke to him it was eight o’clock and by the time snow started to fall over his head, Shao Hui knew that his mother was not going to come but he still waited and hoped that before midnight, his mother would come to see him.

‘ Enough is enough, Hui Hui,’ at ten thirty his daddy could no longer hold anymore, he came outside and picked the stubborn Shao Hui from the swing as he scolded.

‘ Your mother is not coming, how many times has she promised you and how many times has she broken her promise?

Look at you, you are almost frozen waiting for her.’ Shao Hui who lay in the arms of his daddy, looked over at the doors which were open and yet did not show the figure that he was waiting for, he hugged his daddy and softly whispered, ‘ But I did a good job and mother promised me, how can she break the promise?’  His daddy did not reply, he first brought him inside and then wiped him with a towel before making Shao Hui change his clothes.

Only then did his father look him in the eye and whisper, ‘When there are too many priorities and distractions, people ought to forget things and people who are not important to them.’  Little Shao Hui did not understand what his father meant, he simply nodded and finished his birthday meal.  Just like that three days passed by and his mother came looking for him again.

She asked him to hypnotize another group of women, but this time little Shao Hui wanted to know why his mother forgot his birthday, so he summoned his courage and questioned his mother in a milky voice, ‘ Mother, why did you not come to my birthday when you promised?’  Then and there Shao Hui saw a flash of surprise in the eyes of his mother as if she did not know it was his birthday when he had clearly told her two weeks ago that it was his birthday on the last day of the year.  ‘ Oh…that?

I was busy,’ Little Shao Hui knew that his mother was lying.

She was not busy, she completely forgot.

Only then did he understand what his father meant, because he was not important enough for his mother, she completely forgot his existence.  Only when she needed him for something that was her priority that she remember that someone like him existed in the first place.  Ever since then, Shao Hui stopped asking people for things, even when he wanted it, he would say that he did not want it.

Because he was afraid to be disappointed, what if he said that he wanted it only for the person on him, he placed all his hope to disappoint him?  The knot in his heart was years old, how could he just let go?  Shao Hui snapped out of his thoughts and pursed his lips and did not say anything.

He only came here to tease Yin Fu, now that he was done, there was no need for him to stay, right?  ” I will go back to sleep and no longer disturb you two,” he spoke sourly.

Shao Hui hated how he could be honest with Mo Qiang when the two of them were in bed but when it came to heart-to-heart talk….

He did not dare to do it.  Because his body was not fragile, his heart was.  ” All right, do work hard tomorrow,” as soon as Shao Hui turned around he felt someone touch the top of his head, startling him.

He turned around and saw Mo Qiang caressing her fingers, the feeling of her fingers skimming through his hair was too strong.

It was as if she was here with him.

” You…”  ” Wife, did you turn the sensation option on?

Me too!” Yin Fu cupped his cheeks and blushed.

” Wish me good luck too like this, I want to try it too.”  Shao Hui could not speak anymore but even if he could, he did not think that with his condition he could speak.

He raised his head and pressed his hair, a silly smile decorating his face.  ” Idiot if you wanted to pat me just say it, why did you play around so much?”  ————–
