Little Yimi twisted her head and looked at Zhao Chuning stubbornly. Zhao Chuning didn't raise his eyes, but heard Little Yimi ask Zhang Rong in a soft voice: "Grandma, is Mommy angry with me, so she ignores me?"
"Mommy is cooking. Come, change your clothes first."
Little Yimi changed her clothes obediently.
Zhao Chuning raised his head and peeked out from the open kitchen, only to see the little guy holding up his hands obediently, letting his grandmother play with him.
She recalled the scene of her leaning against Tang Yi so intimately last night, and felt sad. Was it because of blood relationship? So, she, who had always been very obedient before, followed Tang Yi twice after meeting him. Moreover, on weekdays, the child was very cautious. When strangers talked to her, she didn't dare to answer. Why did she become completely different in front of Tang Yi? He didn't hesitate to make her angry twice.
Zhao Chuning could see that she liked Tang Yi very much. She suddenly felt a little scared. If one day, the little girl knew that the man was her daddy and asked her to choose between herself and that man, what would she choose
Little Yimi changed her clothes and went back to the kitchen.
Zhao Chuning knew that she was here to please him, so he didn't take the initiative to talk to her. She was wearing an apron and cooking, and Xiao Yimi followed her happily, tiptoeing to help her pass the dishes. Zhao Chuning couldn't bear to see her so cautious.
"Go out and watch TV, otherwise the oil will fly out of the pot and burn you." She finally took the initiative to speak.
After waiting for a long time for Mommy to talk to her, Xiao Yimi immediately became happy. She smiled happily, "Mommy, you are not angry with Mimi anymore, right?"
"Give birth. Why not? You didn't listen to me and made grandma and I worry at home." She deliberately put on a stern face.
"Mommy, Uncle Tang is really not a bad person." Little Yimi stood behind her, still speaking for someone, "Uncle Tang said that I will soon have a daddy like other kids, is that true?"
This made Zhao Chuning's heart twist. Her eyes fell on the stir-fried dishes, and she looked a little dim, and her tone was also gloomy, "He is not your father, he will not know, so, you just listen to it, don't take it to heart."
Little Yimi was very disappointed. She raised her little head unwillingly and continued, "But, when Uncle Luo sent me home last night, he told me that you and Uncle Tang were in love. If you marry Uncle Tang in the future, then Uncle Tang can be my daddy, right?"
Xiao Yimi's innocent words were full of longing and expectation, but they made Zhao Chuning feel powerless and sad. She looked down at the child and asked, "What do you like about him?"
"Uncle Tang is good to me."
“There are many people who are kind to you.”
"But, that's very different." Little Yimi's face was twisted into a ball, thinking seriously, but she couldn't think of any suitable words in her little head. Finally, she said, "Anyway, I feel safe and happy with Uncle Tang. No one will bully me. If he really treats me as a dad, no one will bully Mommy, Grandpa and Grandma in the future."
She liked the feeling of being with Uncle Tang. She felt safe, a feeling different from that of her grandparents and mother. She was still young and didn't understand that it was a unique deterrent power coming from that man.
Zhao Chuning smiled bitterly.
In the whole world, there is no one else who can bully him except Tang Yi. However, from today on, those days are over.
———
The night is deep.
Royal Court Nightclub.
In a special private room, Tang Yi sat on the sofa, holding a wine glass in his hand. On his left and right sat two young and beautiful women, but because of his cold face, no one dared to approach him. They just silently rushed to refill his glass when it was empty.
He was silent the whole night, looking thoughtful. The box was full of people, and as usual, it was lively and harmonious. But tonight, the atmosphere in the box was a bit stuffy. Everyone looked at Tang Yi's face and didn't dare to act rashly. Luo Bei was usually a microphone master, but he didn't sing many songs today.
In the right corner, two women were chatting in low voices.
"Look, this is my little niece. She just turned five yesterday." One of them took out his phone, swiped the photo on it, and said with relish: "Isn't she cute? She is so beautiful."
"Your sister's child? I think he's prettier than your sister and your brother-in-law. A four-year-old child, he looks very smart!"
"All kids nowadays are like this. They're so smart!"
Tang Yi suddenly turned his head to stare at the two of them. The two of them felt the coldness in his eyes. Their backs shuddered, they exchanged glances, sat up straight, and silently put away their phones.
The box suddenly became quieter.
The two women were stared at and their hearts were beating fast. They looked at each other. They didn't know what they had just said to attract Xiao Wuye's attention.
After a long while, Tang Yi said, "Bring it here."
"What?" The two didn't understand.
"Show me the photo of your niece," he explained.
The man was very surprised, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately opened the photo album on his phone and handed it over. He didn't know what Tang Yi was thinking, so he naturally didn't dare to say much.
Tang Yi looked at the four-year-old girl in the photo album, but his mind was filled with another innocent little face. In comparison, the child in the photo album looked more immature. He raised his head and looked at the owner of the phone, "You just said, how old is your niece?"
The man was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Master Wu would be interested in the child. He came back to his senses and answered eagerly, "Four years old. He just had his fourth birthday yesterday."
Could it be that Master Xiaowu also thinks this child is cute
"This is what a four-year-old looks like." He moved his lips, as if talking to himself. He locked his phone, handed it back, and glanced at Luo Bei who was singing.
Someone immediately patted Luo Bei on the shoulder, "Mr. Luo, the Fifth Master seems to be looking for you."
Luo Bei looked back and put down the microphone. Gu Shaocheng followed him.
"How old do you think Mimi looks?" Tang Yi asked as soon as Luo Bei sat down.
"About four or five years old."
"Is he four or five years old?" Tang Yi frowned and stared at the two of them.
"There's not much difference between a four-year-old and a five-year-old. Besides, neither of us have children, so we really don't understand."
Tang Yi picked up the wine glass and looked at Luo Bei, "Please help me check it again."
"What are you looking for?"
"Didn't she say she got pregnant five years ago?" Tang Yi shook the wine glass in his hand, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly, "Ask the people in the hospital and Yuanhe Town, the answer will be clear at a glance."
Luo Bei and Gu Shaocheng looked at each other knowingly. It was obvious that he was still unwilling to accept this reality.
