Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 451 Specially Left for You

Chapter 451: Chapter 451 Specially Left for You

Upon returning to the entrance of the supermarket, Ji Ziqian was still inside shopping, and Gu Liangjun had just seen the dentist.

Gu Xiaoran ran over and hugged Gu Liangjun’s thigh, "Daddy!"

"What’s the matter? Why are there still tears on your face? Have you been crying?" Gu Liangjun lifted his son, and looking at Gu Xiaoran’s small face brimming with grievance, his gaze involuntarily shot towards Ji Yunyun.

He thought Qiu Wanshuang’s daughter was somewhat naughty and liked to bully little kids; probably his own son was bullied by this little girl into crying.

Seeing this, Qiu Wanshuang hastily explained, "Just now, Ranran couldn’t find his mom at the entrance, and I saw him crying, so I took him to look for his mom."

As an actress, she could understand at a glance the meaning behind Gu Liangjun’s peculiar stare; although her daughter was a bit mischievous, she wouldn’t go as far as to bully Gu Xiaoran.

However, once Qiu Wanshuang said this, An Xi’s already ghastly complexion turned even paler, and she followed up with an explanation, "Just now I went to look for a restroom, and I got lost..."

She did not want to say, nor could she continue with the rest of her words.

"Got lost?"

In truth, if one thought carefully about it, they could notice something amiss. Gu Liangjun himself had doubts about An Xi; his thoughts were far more abundant than mere suspicion, but he restrained himself from speaking them out, not there and then. It involved his dignity as a man, questioning her in front of everyone would dent his manly image.

Soon after, Ji Ziqian came out of the supermarket carrying a big bag of items. He handed out two lollipops, one each to Ji Yunyun and Gu Xiaoran.

"Thank you, Daddy!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Seeing An Xi and Gu Liangjun there, Ji Ziqian hesitated to speak and decided to let it go. The child was someone else’s, and if the parents didn’t care, anything he said would be useless.

Qiu Wanshuang asked, "Did you buy everything you need? If so, let’s head to where we parked. Zhenzhen’s car key is with me, and I’m worried they’ll have to wait for us after finishing their shopping."

Ji Ziqian nodded, "Everything’s bought. An Xi, have you got all your stuff? If so, I’ll be off."

An Xi: "All done, let’s go."

Gu Liangjun watched as An Xi carried bags both big and small, yet he remained unmoved, merely holding Gu Xiaoran and following along.

Trailing at the back, An Xi sighed with slight relief; she was somewhat thankful that Gu Liangjun hadn’t pressed the issue further...

[Why doesn’t Gu Liangjun, a big man, help An Xi carry the bags? Those two bags seem pretty heavy too, isn’t that a bit inconsiderate!]

[Do you think everyone is like President Song? Most men after marriage are pretty much like Gu Liangjun, not caring for their wives, paying no heed.]

[Gu Liangjun is holding his son, he’s also having a hard time.]

[Gu Xiaoran can walk by himself; all said and done, Gu Liangjun just doesn’t love An Xi!]

...

When the group arrived at the parking spot, Ye Zhenzhen and Xu Wanjia’s families were already waiting by the car.

Ji Yunyun ran up to Xiao Chen, handing over her lollipop, "Brother Xiao Chen, this is for you to eat. I saved it especially for you, Daddy gave it to me, and I haven’t even eaten it yet."

Song Yuchen saw Ji Yunyun had only one lollipop in her hand; he raised his hand to decline, "You’ve got just one, you’d better eat it yourself. I have lots of gummies here, I’ll share a pack with you."

Ji Yunyun took the gummy that Xiao Chen offered her and insisted on giving him the lollipop back, "You eat it, I kept it just for you."

The lollipop in Ji Yunyun’s hand was very pretty, a colorful round one that looked fairly big and very tempting.

Off to the side, Yang Yike gently tugged at Xu Wanjia’s hand and whispered, "Mommy, I want a lollipop too."

That lollipop was as beautiful as a rainbow; she wanted one.

Upon hearing Yang Yike’s words, Ji Yunyun quickly took back the lollipop in her hand and stuffed it into her pocket, then tilted her chin up at Yang Yike, "This is my lollipop, not yours."

[Ji Yunyun, this little girl, really loses some brownie points!]

[To tell the truth, she’s quite cute, but I just can’t bring myself to like her.]

[She had specifically kept it to give to Xiao Chen but drew the line at giving it to little Yi Yi. Such a child has so many tricks up her sleeve, I really can’t bring myself to love her.]

Qiu Wanshuang smiled awkwardly, knowing that even if she spoke up now, Ji Yunyun wouldn’t agree to give her lollipop to Yang Yike, and it would only make things worse.

She shifted her gaze toward Ji Ziqian, "Why didn’t you buy more candy when you were purchasing earlier?"

Buying just two, and with four kids here, there weren’t enough to go around.

Her words carried a hint of blame, but in fact, Qiu Wanshuang was giving Ji Ziqian a way to save face.

"I saw Ranran crying just now, so I didn’t think too much and just grabbed two and hurried out," he replied.

When Ji Ziqian bought the candy, that was indeed what he thought. He intended to find the two kids, in case they were still crying, so that a lollipop might comfort them.

[Ji Ziqian didn’t buy enough candy for the kids, but at least he bought some. Our Zhenzhen bought plenty for the kids, more than enough to go round, haha!]

[Some people said earlier that Zhenzhen bought too much candy for the kids, but now it seems that Zhenzhen thought things through, wanting the kids to share!]

[This is so funny, everything gets connected to Ye Zhenzhen. Saying Ye Zhenzhen did well, even when President Ji, a grown man, thought to buy candy to soothe the kids is commendable. Why have so many expectations?]

[Now we are bringing up the difference between men and women again. By that logic, are we to understand that when a woman buys candy for the kids, she should be criticized, but when a man does, he should be praised?]

Qiu Wanshuang smiled and said, "How about this, you guys wait here, and I’ll go buy a few more."

Having said that, Qiu Wanshuang headed towards the supermarket.

Right now, she was focused on trying to salvage her reputation. Since her daughter already had such a temperament, she, as the mother, would make up for it.

Xu Wanjia quickly interjected, "Kids are like that, they want things they haven’t seen before. She still has the candy from Xiao Chen, no worries."

Gu Xiaoran had already eaten half of his lollipop and now took it out of his mouth, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sister Yi Yi, I only licked the top half, the bottom half is still untouched. If you don’t mind, I’ll share this half with you," he offered.

Gu Liangjun patted Gu Xiaoran’s shoulder, "You rascal, how can you give someone something you’ve already eaten?"

Yang Yike shook her head, "No need, Brother Ranran, I have two packs of candy given to me by Brother Xiao Chen."

Ji Yunyun and Yang Yike were around the same age but had completely different personalities. After saying her piece, the little one took out a pack of her candy and handed it to Gu Xiaoran, "Brother Ranran, this pack is for you."
