Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye made eye contact and quickened their footsteps as they walked in.
After making their way inside, at first glance, Zi Yi saw the little girl which was being held by Mrs. Lu on her lap. The little girl was very pretty, but also familiar-looking. Zi Yi suddenly thought of the little girl she met on the road and she narrowed her eyes.
They resembled each other too much.
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Jingye immediately sensed her abnormality and tilted his head to ask.
!!
Just then, the people seated on the sofa looked in their direction at the same time.
When Mrs. Lu saw Zi Yi and Lu Jingye, she smiled and waved to them, “Jingye, Yiyi, you’re home. Come over quickly.”
Following that, the middle-aged woman seated next to her also revealed a smile and asked, “Lingluo, this must be your eldest daughter-in-law?”
“Yes.”
“She’s really beautiful.”
Lu Jingye and Zi Yi walked over and Lu Jingye called out to her, “Auntie Luo.”
Zi Yi followed him and called out, “Auntie Luo.”
“h.e.l.lo. Jingye, it’s been a few years since I’ve seen you. You’ve become even more handsome and mature.”
“Yiyi is really beautiful.”
Lu Jingye revealed a gentle smile before he looked at the lady seated next to Luo Qingning and said to Zi Yi, “Yiyi, this is Auntie Luo’s daughter, Luo Qian. She’s older than us and you can call her Sister Luo.”
“h.e.l.lo, Sister Luo.”
Luo Qian was twenty-eight this year and her way of dressing clearly belonged to the strong woman type.
“h.e.l.lo.”
After they greeted each other, both of them took a seat on the sofa.
The little girl seated on Mrs. Lu’s lap looked at them with her big doe eyes as though she was curious about their appearance. Just then, she suddenly reached out to Lu Jingye. “Brother, hug~”
Luo Qian hastily corrected her. “Call him Uncle. You cannot call him Brother.”
Having said that, she introduced the little girl to them. “This is my daughter. Her name is Luo Ran… Ranran, these two people here are Uncle and Auntie.”
Luo Ran continued looking at Zi Yi and Lu Jingye curiously with her adorable eyes. Just then, she reached out to Zi Yi. “Sister, hug~”
This time around, Luo Qian was not the only one who lectured her. Even Mrs. Lu also said, “Ranran, Auntie is pregnant and she can’t hold you.”
Unexpectedly, Luo Ran’s lips curved downward, and she started crying out loudly.
“Ranran, why are you being naughty!” Luo Qian shouted at her angrily.
Luo Qingning also hastily carried Luo Ran to her side and reasoned with her.
Mrs. Lu sat there with a helpless expression. She would never allow Zi Yi to carry such a young child. What if the child accidentally kicked her belly?
Zi Yi looked at the little girl who was throwing a tantrum by crying; she did not seem like she could be coaxed at all. She pursed her lips and said, “Why don’t I take her to the backyard to play? Perhaps she would like to play with me.”
Before the Luo mother and daughter could speak, Mrs. Lu immediately objected. “You’re pregnant right now and what if Ranran wants you to hold her?”
Zi Yi said with a smile, “In that case, Ah Jing and I will bring her out together and I’ll get Ah Jing to hold her.”
After Zi Yi said that, she tugged Lu Jingye’s clothes.
Lu Jingye stood up and walked to the crying Luo Ran and took her from Luo Qingning.
As expected, Luo Ran stopped crying.
Zi Yi also stood up.
Luo Qian felt a little embarra.s.sed and explained, “Ranran is usually very obedient. Perhaps she likes you too much, so she’s insisting on wanting you to hold her.”
Zi Yi nodded and said, “I’m also fond of kids and it just so happens that this is a chance for Ah Jing and me to have a sense of taking care of children.”
Having said that, she headed outside together with Lu Jingye.
Looking at Luo Ran who stopped crying after being held by Lu Jingye, Luo Qingning said with a smile, “It seems like Ranran is indeed very fond of Jingye and Yiyi.”
“Haha, you’re right.”
After Zi Yi and Lu Jingye brought Luo Ran to the backyard, they immediately headed to the sports equipment area where the father and son usually trained.
When they walked behind a piece of equipment that could block them, Zi Yi stopped walking and looked at Luo Ran before calling out Shadow.
Shadow appeared out of thin air.
Zi Yi said to Shadow, “Hold her.”
Shadow went over to hold Luo Ran.
However, Luo Ran tightened her grip on Lu Jingye’s neck. “Go away. I don’t want him to hold me. Handsome brother hug~”
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and traces of displeasure flashed past her eyes. “Didn’t you like Shadow hugging you last time?”
When Lu Jingye heard what she said, he took advantage of when Luo Ran wasn’t paying attention to hand her over to Shadow.
“Waaaaa-”
Whoosh~
A silver needle shot out from Zi Yi’s hand and Luo Ran turned quiet.
Only then did Zi Yi tell Lu Jingye about the incident where she met this little girl.
Following that, she found the surveillance on the road that day to quickly find out what happened after they left.
The one who carried the little girl away was another woman.
Lu Jingye’s expression turned cold. He looked at Luo Ran who was constantly struggling in Shadow’s embrace and her face was so flushed. She wanted to cry out loud, but she could not make any sound.
Zi Yi said, “I originally thought that it was possible they just looked alike. But from the sound waves of her crying, it’s identical to the little girl I met previously.”
Lu Jingye was silent for a moment before he said, “The real Luo Ran might have been changed. Moreover, the person who made the change knew that they would come to our place.”
Speaking of this, his expression became even more stern. “If it’s really the case, it’s possible that Auntie Luo and Sister Luo are also problematic.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “The person who carried the little girl away might be in cahoots with them.”
Speaking of this, they made eye contact with each other.
Zi Yi was a little worried. “Mom had told me before that she has a good relations.h.i.+p with Auntie Luo. If we were to tell her the truth directly, she would be very upset and it might even startle the culprit.”
Lu Jingye looked down and after thinking for some time, he turned to look at the little girl who was still struggling before he asked Zi Yi, “Can you detect how they are being controlled?”
Zi Yi looked at the little girl and said, “Yes.”
Just as she wanted to get Shadow to check what this little girl was, Mrs. Lu’s voice sounded. Following that, Mrs. Lu and Luo Qingning’s voices were heard. “They might have gone over there. Let’s go over and have a look.”
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye made eye contact and he said, “I’ll go stop Mother and Auntie Luo. You should hurry up.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and Lu Jingye turned to leave.
“Mother, we are over here.”
“Where’s Yiyi?”
“She and Ranran are playing over there. Yiyi gave Ranran a toy and she’s very obedient.”
After Lu Jingye said that, he turned around and purposely said, “Yiyi, bring Ranran here.”
Zi Yi’s voice spoke out, “Ranran accidentally removed parts of the toy. We’ll be right out after fixing it.”
Lu Jingye looked at the two women standing in front of him.
Luo Qingning smiled and stretched out her head to take a look. “Let’s go and see what toy they are playing with.”
“Yiyi said that she wants to feel how it’s like taking care of a child on her own. Auntie Luo, let’s go to the living room first. They’ll be over soon.”
Mrs. Lu also smiled and said, “As long as Yiyi doesn’t hold Ranran, it’s fine. Since Yiyi is also fond of Ranran, we should let both of them play for a while.”
“This… I’m just worried that Ranran might get stubborn and insist on having Yiyi hold her.”
Luo Qingning bypa.s.sed the two of them and walked in Zi Yi and Ranran’s direction.
