Zhao Batian's expression froze. "You mean, who was fighting with Zhao Ritian?"
Cixi stood up from his seat, a kind smile on his face. "My name is Cixi. I am the current king of the Insect Race, and the father of the child you were fighting with."
Zhao Batian's expression became a little awkward. He had sent Zhao Ritian here partly to get closer to the young prince of the Insect Race.
Now, not only had he failed to get closer, but they had also gotten into a fight.
Was it too late to abandon this brat?
Abandoning him was impossible. If he abandoned the little cub in his arms, he would likely be thrown out by his wife upon returning.
Zhao Batian thought for a moment, then extended his hand to Cixi, nodding slightly. "Mr. Cixi, I'm truly sorry. Children's squabbles actually caused you to come here personally."
Cixi looked at Zhao Batian's outstretched hand and, after a few seconds, extended his own. "Children's squabbles are a small matter. However, Luo Qi is my only child, the treasure of the entire Insect Race, which is why I took it a bit more seriously."
Zhao Batian: "..." What do you mean a small matter? Isn't this a naked threat?
His smile became even more pronounced. "You say that, Ritian has already told me about this. Both sides were at fault. What do you think..."
Cixi smiled slightly. "I don't mean anything else. It's just that if the other party today wasn't me, and Luo Qi didn't have the Insect Race behind him, would you still have this attitude?"
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense.
Cixi, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed and continued, "A father's teachings and examples are crucial for a son's education. Throughout the universe, the Insect Race does not care about any person or force, simply because my son is here, I have spoken these words today."
If anyone or any force provoked Luo Qi, the Insect Race could hunt them to the ends of the earth, but this would go against the original intention of sending Luo Qi to kindergarten.
However, he would also consider whether this pirate group leader was smart enough. If the father insisted on his own way, then the son would have no need to stay here.
Zhao Batian tightly pursed his lips and looked at Zhao Ritian in his arms.
He knew that his excessive pampering of his child had led to Zhao Ritian's arrogant and overbearing personality, but he only had this one child, how could he not dote on him?
Zhao Ritian looked up at his father, then at Luo Qi opposite him. The scent of biscuits still lingered on his hands.
The friends who had grown up with him, hearing his words, had unhesitatingly gone to "teach" Luo Qi a lesson for him, but they had been implicated and now had injuries on their faces.
Patting his father's shoulder, he got down from Zhao Batian's arms and walked in front of Luo Qi. He looked up at him and said sincerely,
"I'm sorry, Luo Qi. I was wrong. I shouldn't have called my friends to teach you a lesson.
Little Teacher Zhao is right. We should be united and friendly. I won't bully anyone anymore. I... I know I was wrong."
Luo Qi also got down from Cixi's arms and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong too. I shouldn't have pinched your waist."
Little Teacher Zhao smiled slightly. Perhaps Cixi's words today had been more effective than hers.
Ye Yun nudged Ye Mu and smiled, "Shouldn't you apologize to your friends too?"
Ye Mu pouted and walked to Luo Qi's side, lowering his eyes and whispering, "I'm sorry Luo Qi, I'll be more careful next time. I shouldn't have hit your face."
Ye Yun: "..."
Zhao Ritian: "..."
The children who had been accidentally hit in the face: "..."
Luo Qi gave Ye Mu an elbow, a mixture of amusement and exasperation on his face. Ye Mu then pouted and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong too. I won't fight next time."
Zhao Ritian was even more reluctant, but he nodded. "Alright, I was wrong too. I won't bully people next time."
The parents in the office all laughed. The originally serious and tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Zhao Batian sighed, "I'm an unqualified father. Even my son is more responsible than me."
He ruffled Zhao Ritian's head. However, today, both he and his son had grown.
He sincerely thanked him, "Your Majesty the Insect King, thank you so much today. I will no longer spoil my child like this."
Cixi waved his hand. "No need to thank me. If you still do not repent, the Insect Race's warships will flatten Pirate Star."
Zhao Batian: "..." This was still a naked threat, wasn't it?
He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "Yes, yes, you are right. We know we were wrong."
Cixi smiled without speaking, considering the leader to be sensible.
The matter was clarified, and it was time for lunch.
Little Teacher Zhao looked outside. Some children were already going to lunch in twos and threes.
She glanced at the bruised and battered children and sighed, "Alright, Friday's dismissal will be an hour earlier than usual. Since the children have all realized their mistakes, you can go back with your fathers today. We'll see you next Monday."
The children happily ran to their fathers. Cixi was also happy and picked up Luo Qi, saying, "Then let's go too."
Luo Qi hugged Cixi's neck. At such a young age, he already felt the hardships of kindergarten. An early dismissal by half a day, what a good thing!
The only one who was not very happy was Ye Mu. He pouted. Interacting with Luo Qi was much more interesting than interacting with his smelly brother.
He walked up to Luo Qi and whispered, "After you go back for your holiday, will you still be my best friend?"
Luo Qi thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Why don't you come to the Insect Star as a guest? Okay?"
He looked at Cixi. "Is that okay? Ye Mu is my good friend."
Cixi smiled and nodded. "Of course."
Ye Mu's eyes also lit up, and he looked at Ye Yun. "Dad, is that okay?"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. "Don't you miss your mother and brother?"
Ye Mu frowned, his eyes darting around. "Then next week, can I invite Luo Qi to our house next week?"
Luo Qi nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, yes."
Ye Yun laughed, a mix of amusement and exasperation. Good heavens, these two little guys had already made plans for next week.
He nodded. "Alright, then when you go to the Insect Star, don't be naughty."
Ye Mu nodded. "I know, Dad."
The matter was thus settled. Luo Qi and Ye Mu walked hand in hand in front, Cixi following behind, sighing softly. He thought the chubby cub loved him the most, but he didn't expect him to make such good friends in such a short time.
Looking at the two chattering little cubs in front, Cixi felt that the days ahead would likely not be quiet.
