Zou Bai looked at the guilty look in Jiang An’s eyes and teased with a smile, “Really? Why can’t I tell that you believe me? An’an, if 1 really wanted their custody, it’s useless even if you keep them by your side 24. hours a day.”
Jiang An’s face suddenly turned pale, and even her smile became a little stiff. When Zou Bai saw this, his heart tightened. He suddenly didn’t want to scare her like that and force her to make a decision quickly.
Zou Bai stretched out his arm and touched the back of Jiang An’s head. He smiled helplessly and said, “I was just teasing you. Look at your rat guts. You really can’t help but be frightened.”
Jiang Yi looked at the interaction between the two of them and suddenly had a strange feeling. He seemed to understand why his sister always called this uncle in front of him ‘father’. Now, he also felt that having a father was really different. Thinking of the scene of the family eating happily in cartoons, Jiang Yi smiled yearningly.
Zou Bai’s actions made Jiang An’s ears turn slightly red. Speaking of which, Zou Bai was the only person who had been intimate with Jiang An since she could remember. At the thought of this, Jiang An picked up the soup bowl and started drinking the chicken soup. She looked like she wanted to bury her face in the bowl.
Seeing this, Zou Bai retracted his hand and started eating quietly.
Jiang Yi finally finished eating the vegetables with a frown. Since he had nothing to do, he looked around in boredom.
Although Jiang An was eating, she had been paying attention to Jiang Yi from time to time. When she saw him finish eating, she hurriedly took out a wet tissue to wipe his mouth and hands. Then, she moved the bowls and chopsticks to the dining table and took out two small cars that Jiang Yi often played with to pa.s.s time.
“You’re a very qualified mother. It seems like 1 still have a lot to learn,” Zou Bai said when he saw Jiang An’s actions.
Jiang An looked at Jiang Yi who was having fun and revealed a satisfied smile. “It’s all the same. 1 didn’t know anything in the past. At first, I was fl.u.s.tered, but later on, I slowly became proficient.”
Zou Bai talked about the upbringing of the two children. Jiang An talked about these parenting issues with relish. Zou Bai chimed in from time to time and asked a few questions. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Jiang Yi ate and played for a while. He sat in the chair and began to fall asleep.
By the time Jiang An noticed, Jiang Yi had already fallen asleep.
Unlike Jiang Yu, who slept with her mouth open and drooling, Jiang Yi pursed his lips tightly and placed his two small hands on his calves obediently.
Zou Bai immediately lowered his voice. “Let’s hurry back. 1’11 carry him.”
Jiang An quickly reminded him in a soft voice, “Be careful not to wake him up, or else there will be trouble.”
When Zou Bai heard this, his movements became gentler. He carefully pulled him into his arms. Jiang Yi closed his eyes and moved his little head on Zou Bai’s shoulder a few times, scaring the two of them so much that they didn’t dare to move.
Jiang An noticed that Jiang Yi was only looking for a comfortable position and felt relieved. “It’s fine. Let’s go.”
Jiang An quickly put Jiang Yi’s things into her maternity bag and followed Zou Bai out.
Just as they reached the door, a few people walked over.
“Fourth Master! Aiya, I didn’t expect to meet you here. Fa…”
Before Zhang Lin could finish saying the word ‘fate’, he was frightened by Zou Bai’s sharp gaze and did not dare to speak anymore.
As Jiang Yi’s head was facing outwards, Zou Bai could not see it. He quickly whispered to Jiang An, who was beside him, “He’s not awake, is he?”
Jiang An took a look and realized that Jiang Yi’s two small brows were slightly furrowed. However, he was still asleep. She reached out and stroked the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. She shook his head at Zou Bai and mouthed silently, “He’s not awake.”
Zhang Lin looked at the scene in front of him and swallowed nervously. This was a tyrant of an aristocratic family. He had only seen him being ruthless, but he had never seen him being gentle.
After Zou Bai confirmed that Jiang Yi was fine from Jiang An, he looked at Zhang Lin coldly.
Zhang Lin was also a smart person. When he saw Zou Bai’s gaze, he immediately moved aside and made way. He waved at the people behind him and whispered, “Make way, make way!”
Zou Bai led Jiang An through the crowd.
Zhang Lin turned to look at their backs and touched his chin. “Why does that woman look so familiar?”
A middle-aged man wearing black-framed gla.s.ses thought hard and slapped his head. “Doesn’t it look like the female lead of a very popular television drama during the New Year? What’s her name… Jiang An! Yes, that’s her name. My daughter wanted to watch it every day.”
When Zhang Lin heard his subordinate’s words, he finally remembered. “Jiang An! The youngest daughter that the Jiang family of Xiyun found some time ago, wasn’t it… I heard that the other party was divorced.. What is this mix up with Fourth Master?”
