Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Reunion of a Family of Three (1)_1

She didn’t believe that the baby had no feelings for her at all.

When he was younger, he was so clingy.

She was the person he relied on the most!

"Yunhuan, he is two years old now. What do you expect a child to remember?" Qi Cheng knew it would be hard for her as a mother, but there was no way around it. It was a mistake the adults had made earlier.

Ji Yunhuan was stunned. Qi Cheng’s words seemed like blame. They sounded like he was saying she deserved it.

Qi Cheng spoke to Yangyang, "Yangyang, sit properly. Come, say hello to Auntie... Well-behaved children must be polite. Did you forget?"

Hearing Qi Cheng’s words, Yangyang sat up. He glanced at Ji Yunhuan, feeling a sense of dislike.

But because his second sister-in-law had taught him that children should be polite, he spoke to Ji Yunhuan, "Hello, Auntie."

"..." Hearing him call her that, Ji Yunhuan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

She couldn’t feel happy at all.

But to avoid making the baby dislike her, she still smiled and responded.

Qi Cheng said, "Yunhuan, don’t rush."

Ji Yunhuan took a deep breath. She knew she shouldn’t rush, but why did her heart hurt so much?

She extended her hands towards Yangyang, "Come here and let me hug you, alright?"

"No." He didn’t give her any face at all.

Ji Yunhuan sincerely coaxed him, "If you let me hug you, I have a gift for you."

"I don’t want it." In any case, the baby showed extreme resistance to Ji Yunhuan. He couldn’t bring himself to like her at all.

Other children, even if they were shy, would put down their guard after a brief period of familiarity and start to regain their feelings for their mother. But he was different. In his eyes, he only had one mother, his second sister-in-law. So besides his second sister-in-law, everyone else was just a stranger to him.

"It seems you really don’t like me hugging you," Ji Yunhuan regretted, "But we can at least shake hands, right?"

"Shake hands," Qi Cheng reminded him.

Probably out of respect for Qi Cheng, he didn’t refuse and extended his hand towards Ji Yunhuan.

The moment she held his little hand, Ji Yunhuan felt an urge to cry.

His little hand was so small, but compared to when he was just born, it had grown so much. Yet, to an adult, it was still very small.

Other people’s children grew up in their mother’s arms. Only her child grew up with someone else. And when she met him, she had to play the role of a stranger, and even let her son call her Auntie.

Auntie, what an ironic title!

Seeing Ji Yunhuan hold his hand tightly, with a gaze as if she wanted to devour him, Yangyang hurriedly wanted to retract his hand, "Let go!"

Ji Yunhuan was stunned and only then realized she had been holding onto his hand.

But she really didn’t want to let go.

"Uncle! I hate her!" Finally breaking free from her hand, the baby’s eyes no longer showed politeness but instead, an unrelenting dislike.

The Ji Yunhuan who had been holding onto him clearly made him detest her.

Qi Cheng probably hadn’t expected such a scene.

Yangyang wasn’t usually like this. Even if he was a bit unhappy, he wouldn’t directly say he hated someone.

But with Ji Yunhuan, Yangyang was truly unreserved.

Logically, upon seeing his own mother, it shouldn’t feel like this...

Even if he didn’t know her, it shouldn’t feel like this.

Seeing Qi Cheng remain silent, Yangyang felt a lack of respect and started crying, "I want to go home! I want Mommy... I don’t want to stay here!"

He was still very young. His crying was naive and yet piercing.

The female housekeeper came in from outside. Seeing this scene, she quickly approached, "Young master, it’s been a long time. How have you been lately?"

"Hug me." Yangyang reached his hands toward the familiar female housekeeper. In short, he didn’t want to face Ji Yunhuan here.

The female housekeeper said, "Come, I’ll take you to find something to eat."

"Okay." Clearly, this decision brightened his mood a bit.

Ji Yunhuan sat on the sofa, watching him get carried away by the female housekeeper. When he left, his gaze was filled with loathing.

Ji Yunhuan took a deep breath. She believed she hadn’t done anything to him and yet was hated.

It truly was karma!

Qi Cheng said, "Don’t worry too much. It’ll get better with time."

"You gave him to my second sister-in-law?" Ji Yunhuan calmed down and asked the question she wanted to ask.

"It’s your second sister-in-law who’s been with him, so..."

"Now he calls you Uncle? So, in his eyes, my brother and second sister-in-law are his parents, right?" Ji Yunhuan asked.

That was the truth, but she wasn’t willing to believe it, so she had to confirm it.

Qi Cheng looked into her restrained eyes and said, "Mom said the second sister-in-law couldn’t have children and had a special connection with the baby. She asked me to let her take care of him. It was also good for the child."

"So you just gave him away?" Ji Yunhuan’s voice began to show her uncontrollable emotions.

Qi Cheng explained, "At that time, I had no choice. He was too young. When I returned from C City, he had been with the second sister-in-law for over a month. He was already used to her. You weren’t there, so what could I do? The second sister-in-law cared for Yangyang wholeheartedly. I didn’t have the energy to look after him. It was because of the second sister-in-law that he could have a complete home, wasn’t it?"

"A complete home?" Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but mock herself.

Although she should thank Qi Cheng for bringing her to see the baby, the reality made her feel nothing but dislike for him. Even that moment of softness she felt the previous night was gone.

Because he had given her and his child to someone else so easily, no matter the reason, she couldn’t help but be furious.

Despite knowing she had no right to blame Qi Cheng here, everything was her own choice.

Back then, it was her decision that led to this outcome.

Ultimately, she and Qi Cheng were the same.

But she remained unwilling!

She said coldly, "What do you think he will feel in his heart? When he grows up, he will understand these things. How heartbroken will he be? Qi Cheng, don’t you think your actions were cruel?"

Qi Cheng felt uncomfortable seeing her so heartbroken, "Things have already come to this. I was wrong. I never expected you to come back to see him someday. Sorry, it’s all my fault. It was irresponsible of me. I made the wrong decision."

It was because he didn’t want her to be this sad that he kept her from seeing the child.

Otherwise, he would have brought her here sooner.

Ji Yunhuan stared at Qi Cheng. The smile in her eyes from earlier had completely disappeared—yes, he never thought she would come back, so he gave her child to someone else.
