Chapter 296: Chapter 296: The Reunion of a Family of Three (4)_1

Ji Yunhuan selected a few pieces from inside and began to assemble them carefully. Although she said "carefully," she was observing the baby’s reactions just as carefully while she worked. Compared to the child, she of course couldn’t work at full speed; she lagged behind him slightly but not too much, sometimes even helping him find a piece or two.

She thought that by helping him like this, she could earn some of his favor.

Qi Cheng, on the other hand, was assembling quite quickly beside them, deliberately acting as the target that the baby was trying to catch up with.

Ji Yunhuan handed a piece of the puzzle to Yangyang, encouraging him, "Look, he’s almost finished. You need to keep it up, okay?"

"Uncle, she’s cheating," Yangyang pointed out bluntly at Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan, who had been squatting, fell straight to the floor at his words.

Great, even trying to flatter is this difficult.

She truly felt like her heart was breaking into pieces.

She was his mother after all!

She thought that at least their blood relation counted for something; who knew, she didn’t understand him at all.

Indeed, what shapes a child’s personality isn’t blood and genes but the environment in which they grow up!

Although Qi Cheng was close to finishing, Yangyang didn’t give up. He ignored the slacking Ji Yunhuan beside him and quickly completed his own puzzle.

Even though Qi Cheng was almost done, he had hidden a piece in his hand earlier, causing it to be impossible to find for a while so Yangyang caught up.

At that moment, Qi Cheng hurriedly placed the hidden piece on the puzzle.

Yes, only in this way could he coax the little one into playing a second round.

Sure enough, the little fighter, unsatisfied by such a close loss, demanded to play again.

Ji Yunhuan repositioned herself and rolled her eyes at this earnest little thing, thinking he was too much, not giving her any face, not even thinking about how much she suffered while pregnant with him.

Just as the baby Yangyang was rolling up his sleeves and preparing for the second round, he stopped. He looked at Ji Yunhuan, making her feel a bit guilty. After all, he rarely looked at her like this.

"What are you staring at me for?" Ji Yunhuan asked curiously.

Baby Yangyang looked at Qi Cheng and suggested, "She lost. She should be punished."

Thud—

Ji Yunhuan, who had just managed to sit steadily, fell down again.

This brat, did he just want to see her unhappy?

Ji Yunhuan glared at him. "I promise this time you will lose the worst."

"I won’t lose to a stupid woman," he said disdainfully.

Just when Ji Yunhuan was almost about to explode with anger, Qi Cheng, who was across from her, suddenly lifted the corners of his mouth into a smile, with a hint of schadenfreude.

"What are you laughing at?" Ji Yunhuan asked, dissatisfied.

Qi Cheng laughed. "Looking at this scene, I can’t help but think of a saying—one thing subdues another."

Ji Yunhuan had made him suffer so many times, but in front of their son, she couldn’t even lift her head.

Ji Yunhuan pouted at the baby Yangyang. The baby curiously asked, "Uncle, what does ’one thing subdues another’ mean?"

Though he was only two years old, his soft voice was surprisingly articulate.

Qi Cheng explained it to him while continuing to work on the puzzle.

Ji Yunhuan sat on the side watching them, deeply understanding the concept of "saying too much results in errors," so she forced herself to stay quiet now.

"My puzzle is done," she said.

Baby Yangyang had only assembled half of his.

"So fast?" he looked at Ji Yunhuan in surprise, his eyes full of astonishment.

"Hmph, I said I would make you lose terribly," Ji Yunhuan looked at him proudly, not believing he could say anything else.

In the end, the little one pulled on Qi Cheng’s arm and said, "Uncle, she’s cheating."

Thud—

Ji Yunhuan fell down again.

She sat back up and looked at the sharp-tongued little fellow, "How did I cheat? Tell me, when did I cheat?"

"You took advantage while we were talking," he could even find a reason that made people want to laugh and cry.

Ji Yunhuan reached out and pulled him into her arms. "You hate me so much, don’t you?"

In Ji Yunhuan’s arms, Yangyang was extremely uncomfortable, "Let me go. I don’t want you to touch me."

Ji Yunhuan held him tightly, refusing to let him go. She knew that being soft with this little fellow would never work.

She pressed the baby against her, "Tell me why you hate me and I’ll let you go. Otherwise, no one will help you."

"Let me go..." Yangyang struggled, refusing to listen to anything, only knowing he was very annoyed with this woman.

"Be good, tell me, tell me and I’ll let you go," Ji Yunhuan continued to coax.

She felt like a robber.

Actually, she was a bit helpless.

She used to be able to handle even the troublesome Leilei, but now she couldn’t handle her own biological son.

One was feeling sorry, the other was feeling guilty.

Her feeling of guilt made her not know how to face this little guy.

So she could only hide and observe him secretly.

Seeing that he couldn’t break free from Ji Yunhuan, Yangyang could only call for help from Qi Cheng, "Uncle, save me."

"I need to go to the bathroom first," Qi Cheng stood up, pretending to have something to do.

The servants standing on the side naturally didn’t dare to step forward to help either.

Baby Yangyang turned his pleading eyes to the Female Housekeeper, "Save me, save me..."

Ji Yunhuan turned him around to face her, "They won’t save you. Just be good and tell me why you hate me, and I’ll let you go."

Although he was little, he understood that sometimes some things were pointless.

He stared at Ji Yunhuan, Ji Yunhuan also stared back at him. When their eyes met, Ji Yunhuan’s heart kept pounding.

She really hoped time could reverse, or maybe a miracle could happen, that this child of hers in front of her could recognize her.

She also hoped he could call her "Mommy."

Just like he called her sister-in-law.

Although she wasn’t a competent mother, she would be from now on.

After about ten seconds, baby Yangyang turned his face away and said disdainfully, "You’re ugly!"

In all her years, this was the first time Ji Yunhuan was called ugly by the opposite sex, and it was by her own son.

"Fine, you’re tough," Ji Yunhuan released him disappointedly.

Finally free, baby Yangyang quickly ran to the other side.

Ji Yunhuan did not chase after him, fearing she might scare him. He really seemed to dislike her.

She asked, "Then in your eyes, who is the most beautiful?"

"My mommy," he said proudly.

His answer made Ji Yunhuan’s heart ache.

In the eyes of a child, the so-called beauty isn’t appearance, but who has always been good to him and who has always been by his side.

He was right.

Compared to her sister-in-law, she, as his biological mother, was really much worse.

After that, Ji Yunhuan continued chatting with the baby for a while.

Before dinner, her sister-in-law came over.

Just hearing the footsteps outside, baby Yangyang knew it was his sister-in-law. He rushed out quickly, followed by the servant.
