Chapter 295: Chapter 295: The Reunion of a Family of Three (3)_1

Even if Ji Yunhuan had given birth to the child in the past, she was now an outsider to the Qi Family.

Ji Yunhuan watched as the female housekeeper carried the child away and stood up. Qi Cheng wanted to stop her, but seeing the look on her face, his hand froze mid-air.

Ji Yunhuan walked to the door and saw Yangyang sitting on the sofa, holding the phone, a happy smile on his face.

They had turned on the speaker. The gentle voice of the second sister-in-law came through, "Baby, were you well-behaved while you were with Uncle?"

"Yes." He smiled, revealing small milk teeth.

"So, are you happy being with Uncle?"

"Not happy." He stopped smiling and frowned.

Ji Yunhuan’s heart tightened.

She felt like a thief at that moment.

Afraid that the second sister-in-law would find out she was there.

But then again, she was just there to see her child. This was clearly her child. She couldn’t understand why she felt so guilty.

"Baby, why are you unhappy? Tell me." The second sister-in-law’s cheerful tone revealed that Yangyang’s presence had completely alleviated her many years of regret over being childless.

Yangyang spoke, "I miss Mommy."

As soon as he said that, the previously tense atmosphere immediately lightened.

Ji Yunhuan was surprised he hadn’t mentioned her.

But in the next moment, she felt sad again.

Perhaps, making him unhappy didn’t compare to his attachment to the second sister-in-law.

"Okay, okay, I’ll come pick you up later. Be good and stay with Uncle." The second sister-in-law also laughed, "Come, kiss me."

"MUA..."

"Good boy." The second sister-in-law laughed on the other end.

Ji Yunhuan watched the scene in front of her, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

Qi Cheng had already walked over. He knew what it was like every time the baby interacted with the second sister-in-law, so he didn’t want Ji Yunhuan to see this scene.

But some things she would have to find out sooner or later.

He stood beside Ji Yunhuan, watching her, without saying a word.

Ji Yunhuan was silent for a long time before she spoke, "Why didn’t you tell me these things earlier?"

"Tell you what?"

"That you gave the child to the second sister-in-law." She looked at Qi Cheng, eyes filled with hatred, "I only discovered now, after all these months, that I’ve never hated you as much as I do now!"

Qi Cheng said, "I didn’t know how to tell you."

"You should have at least given me some mental preparation! Don’t you think I feel awkward now? I don’t even know what kind of role I am in his eyes." As she spoke, her body trembled slightly with her emotions.

This feeling was more unbearable than the cruelest tortures of the Qing Dynasty.

Qi Cheng glanced at Yangyang, who had no intention of ending the call, "As long as you’re willing, we can slowly tell him."

"What’s the use? That will only make him sadder. In his eyes, he already believes the second sister-in-law is his mother. What am I? I’m just a stranger. It’s my fault, I don’t even have the right to stand in front of him." She was blaming Qi Cheng, but even more, she was blaming herself.

Qi Cheng looked at her helplessly, "Yunhuan, the past was my fault. If it weren’t for me, we wouldn’t be in this situation today. It was my mistake back then... I didn’t take good care of him."

If he had known earlier that Ji Yunhuan would one day return, he would have done his best to be a good father and take care of the child.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to hear him confess his mistakes anymore. The more he spoke like that, the more she hated herself.

She said, "I’ll go wash my face."

She knew she looked a mess right now.

Appearing in front of the child would only make the child dislike her.

Ji Yunhuan saw a bathroom nearby and walked in. Looking at herself in the mirror, she realized her eyes were already red, and tears could fall at any moment.

She turned on the water, cupped some in her hands, and splashed it on her face.

She felt her eyes wet but couldn’t tell if it was water or her tears.

She just felt an enormous sadness engulfing her heart.

She was the most ridiculous mother in the world.

When Ji Yunhuan came out, Qi Cheng was talking to Yangyang.

"Today, Auntie and I bought you a nice gift. Do you want to see it?" Although in Yangyang’s impression, Qi Cheng was always just "Uncle," the blood relationship between father and son remained, and that close bond couldn’t be changed.

So when Qi Cheng mentioned a gift, Yangyang was somewhat interested.

Qi Cheng glanced at Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan walked over and brought the things they had bought together.

It wasn’t anything expensive, just a simple puzzle.

The shop assistant said that a two-year-old child couldn’t play with complicated toys, and these simple puzzles were more mentally stimulating and engaging for them.

She opened the box, took out the puzzle, and handed it to Yangyang, "Do you like puzzles, Yangyang?"

Qi Cheng had also thought this toy was good when buying it, so she thought it should be fine.

Yangyang glanced at it, frowning slightly, seemingly thinking about something.

Ji Yunhuan handed the puzzle to him, "Come on, give it a try, see if you can put it together?"

She had picked many patterns for him, giving him just one of the easiest puzzles with only a dozen pieces.

Actually, the second sister-in-law also had these at home, and she would often play with Yangyang.

Probably for this reason, Yangyang wasn’t too resistant.

He picked up the pieces one by one and placed them in front of Qi Cheng, signaling him to piece them together.

"Let Auntie help you with it!" Qi Cheng, of course, wouldn’t foolishly steal the spotlight at this moment.

He tried to give the opportunity to Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan heard this and looked at Yangyang with great anticipation, "Come over, I’ll help you with it."

She didn’t want to refer to herself as "Auntie," it was too heartbreaking.

Yangyang glanced at Ji Yunhuan, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head.

He always rejected strangers. He didn’t know Ji Yunhuan well, and even more so, he wasn’t very fond of her today.

He didn’t welcome this woman.

Ji Yunhuan sighed helplessly and walked over herself.

She had always been proud, but in front of her child, she had no temper or dignity left.

When Yangyang saw her approaching, he immediately frowned unhappily.

Qi Cheng seized this opportunity to intervene, "Let’s play together, the three of us! It’s more fun that way."

The servants brought the remaining puzzles.

They were all disassembled and piled together.

Qi Cheng said, "Let’s each put one together and see who can finish a piece first?"

"Alright!" Yangyang quickly agreed to Qi Cheng’s suggestion. He was interested in competitive activities. He wasn’t the type to give up easily.
