Chapter 152

(TN: Check out the Character's list as a refresher, if I forgot someone please leave a comment. Thanks
Lu jingyan's car was parked at the entrance of a mansion located a few streets away from the right side of the Chi’s villa. The road was very wide, but there is a wall that separate each mansion. (TN: the description of the mansion’s location was so difficult to comprehend, but it’s not relevant to the story so I just simplified the imagery. sorry)
There were
no other residents nearby. The house was the villa where Lu Jingyan lived when
he was still a child. Later, the Lu family moved out and it became unoccupied and
neglected for many years. A day ago, it was still a scene of overgrown grass. In
the blink of an eye, the small half of the courtyard has been cleaned up.
Chi Ying
led Chi Cheng as they walked. Not long after, she saw Lu Jingyan leaning on the
Bentley, his long legs slightly bent. He was still wearing the standard black
shirt, his posture is a bit more casual and lazy than before, but his
temperament was still elegant and expensive.
"Dad
~~" Chi Cheng let go of Chi Ying's hand and then trotted up quickly to hug
Lu Jingyan's leg with open arms.
Chengcheng
was wearing a mask, so his voice seems to be stuffed in a bottle which added a
bit of cuteness.
"Chengcheng."
Lu Jingyan bent down and hugged him with a smile on his lips and deep eyes. He
remembered the dream last night which made his chest hurt and he couldn't help
tightening his arms.
Chi Cheng
didn't feel like crying anymore. He just felt wrong about the casting in the
morning. At this moment, his father was holding him tightly in his arms as if
he was a precious treasure. He felt a bit sore from it, but he didn't say
anything and just tried very hard to squeeze a bright smile.
After Lu
Jingyan let go of Chi Cheng, his eyes met Chi Ying. Her makeup was not dark,
but she is outstandingly beautiful. The light rays in autumn were weak, but her
white skin became more eye-catching. The dress was pinched to a delicate
figure, making her look like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
When she
met his gaze, Chi Ying smiled helplessly, "In other families, sons and
fathers rob their mothers together, whereas the son and father in this family
forgot about the mother."
Chi Cheng
listened and tried to understand for a while. When he understood her, he frowned
as if he had eaten a bitter gourd and showed annoyance. He was about to run
over to hug his mother while saying “No, no”, but Lu Jingyan had already made
great strides. The man's legs are long and strong which only took him a few
steps toward her. Chi Cheng watched helplessly as Lu Jingyan took Chi Ying into
his arms. His eyes narrowed and he lowered his head to kiss her on the
forehead. Following that, he said something in Chi Ying's ear that the bun
couldn't hear.
Chi Cheng
paused and stared wide-eyed. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses. He
walked over as he looked up at them, and raised his mouth, "I want to hug
Mom too."
Since Chi
Cheng became sensible, he never asked someone to hug him. Chi Ying raised her
eyebrows in surprise. At present, the father and son only got together recently
and only spent time together a few times. She felt like a cruel stepmother. Of
course, the little guy's request could not be ignored. Chi Ying lifted him without
saying a word and laughed secretly in her heart. Compared to when she was a
child, Chi Cheng grew up well.
Chi Cheng
stretched out his arms around her neck and kissed her on the forehead. Then he
pulled out his small hand and tore off Chi Ying's mask. He followed it with a loud
kissing sound on her left and right cheeks twice. Then he glanced at Lu Jingyan
triumphantly.
This made
Lu Jingyan laugh dumbly, his expression a little complicated. The community in
the villa was widely spread, so there was no one around. At the corner, Mother
Chi peeked at them with her eyes twinkling.
At first
sight, the man is big and tall and his temperament seemed more outstanding than
in the photos. His appearance is impeccable, just like walking hormones. Although
he followed Western etiquette, his demeanor was not frivolous. What could be
seen by the naked eye were his adoration and tenderness. Even though Mother Chi
thought it was incredible, the reality had happened. The family of three looked
warm and picturesque. Mother Chi smiled with relief and her heart was warm. Then,
she sent a text message to Chi Ying, "Have fun. Remember to be careful
when you are in love. Chengcheng is still young, so don't influence him badly."
After editing, she added an "oh" at the end of the sentence.
As Mother
Chi turned around, she saw Tong Jiashu (TN: Yueyue’s mom/Shu Bai’s not-so-close
friend). She still has heavy makeup on. Her lipstick was applied intensely and
looked dazzling in the autumn light. Crossing the intersection, Tong Jiashu has
a panoramic view of them. Mother Chi subconsciously intercepted.
Tong
Jiashu took the initiative to greet her, "It's Chengcheng’s Grandma."
Mother
Chi hummed lightly, “Is something wrong?"
"Tomorrow
I will make an announcement that I will be leaving here. Today is the last day
at home. Would Chengcheng come over as a guest? That child is so cute, I
actually miss him."
"Thank
you, but we already made arrangements for Chi Cheng tomorrow."
"Alright
then." Tong Jiashu showed a regretful expression, "What are you doing
here?"
The wind suddenly
picked up which made Mother Chi slowly gather up her clothes as she said,
"Wait a moment."
……
Chi Ying
was stunned for a moment when she received a text message from her mother. Bring
bad influence to Chi Cheng? She thought of their love affair to recognize his
father and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
Of
course, when the child is around she will not kiss and hold him. She quickly
replied, "Don’t worry mom."
Lu
Jingyan glanced at her and said in a low voice, "What 's wrong?"
She
quickly put away her phone and shook her head, “Everything’s okay”
Today, Lu
Jingyan's driver drove and it seemed that whoever sat in the front passenger
seater will be missing something. They finally decided to sit in the back
together.
Chi Cheng
was the first to climb into the car and sat by the window on the right. Lu
Jingyan and Chi Ying looked at each other. Chi Ying smiled and made up for her
fault, "Lu Jingyan, you go up first. Chengcheng misses you so much today
and I'll give you a chance to bond with him. Don't worry, I'm not jealous."
Lu Jingyan's lips curved slightly and leaned into the car. Afterward, Chi Ying
followed inside.
Lu
Jingyan spoke, "Where do you want to go?"
Chi Cheng,
"Are you sure about this dad?"
"Am I
sure?"
"Mmmm."
"Let’s
go to my dad’s house."
Lu Jingyan
and Chi Cheng decided on the itinerary in a minute. She looked at the courtyard
in front of her with her head in her hand. She remembered that the original Chi
Ying used to wander around the house when she was a child, but never dared to
look inside. At that time, there was a very fierce wolf dog at the front door. As
someone who has no emotional experience, she can remember the bitterness of her
original crush. It made her heart ache.
She was
in a daze when Lu Jingyan reached out and held her right hand. The man's palm
was warm and dry. It gave a strange feeling that quickly ran through her body.
Chi Ying
turned her head and met Lu Jingyan's dark eyes ... and looked at Chi Cheng's chubby
little face. Chi Cheng looked at her impartially, his attention being on their
clenched hands.
Chi Cheng
tugged at Lu Jingyan's shirt pitifully, "Dad, Dad, I want to change places
with you."
Lu
Jingyan, "No, it's easy to get motion sickness in the middle."

TN:
Father
and son are so cute. I could only imagine pinching Chengcheng’s chubby cheeks,
he is such a cutie not wanting his mom left out. My baby brother was cute like
that, but now that he’s older and became so annoying at times that I want to
pinch him hard enough to feel pain haha it’s hard being an elder sister. Oh, I smell trouble from Tong Jiashu ><
