Chapter 10 (2/2)

It seemed like he really needed to go back and observe.

While Ji Yan was deep in thought, Ji Xiao Zhuo was also thinking deeply. His arms were folded behind his head and acted like a pillow, and his legs were crossed while he thought about the events that occurred today.

Xiao Zhuo felt that his mummy had really changed. In the past, she never cared about him.There were times where she screamed and howled at him. However, his mummy had become gentle. Now, She would smile at him, cook nice food for him, call him ‘darling’ and ‘precious’, and she would even cry because she was worried about him when he was missing.

It seemed like his mummy really loved him now.

Then should he forgive his mummy and give her another chance?

Ji Xiao Zhuo thought for a long time until his brows were wrinkled. At last, he sighed and decided to forgive mummy this time. Daddy had told him before that men shouldn’t be narrow minded, and that they should yield to girls. Mummy is a girl, so he should relent.

Xiao Zhuo smiled as he felt that he was released from a heavy burden. He kicked his legs in the air to show his happiness, and then he rolled around on his bed a couple of times before going to sleep.

————————————

Tang Tang found that the little one had changed overnight. He usually would avoid looking at her, and he would use grunts to answer her. Basically, he acted like he didn’t have the patience to deal with her.However, he didn’t refuse the food she put in his bowlin the morning. When they left for the nursery, he took the initiative to hold her hand when they walked, he even reminded her to be careful and not trip.

Tang Tang stared at the little one in shock. She didn’t understand what was happening.

“Bao Bao, what’s wrong? You’re not angry at mummy anymore?”

The little one nodded his head seriously and earnestly said, “I’ve decided to forgive you this one time. You can’t commit the same wrong again.”

Tang Tang was surprised. She cupped his face with her hands and confirmed, “Bao Bao, are you really not angry at Mummy anymore? Have we reconciled?”

The little one tried hard to keep the serious expression on his face as he nodded, “Yes.”

Tang Tang couldn’t help but smile. She kissed the little one’s face a couple of times, “Thank you, Bao Bao. You’re so nice.”

Xiao Zhuo’s lips also lifted, but then he pretended to be calm, “That’s because I am a man. I’m very broad minded.”

His serious and solemn expression made Tang Tang laugh. She nodded, “That’s right. Bao Bao is broad minded. Mummy loves you lots.”

The little one’s ears turned red. He looked around shyly. Once he confirmed that there was no one around, he quickly went on his tiptoes and kissed Tang Tang’s cheek before saying quietly, “I love you as well.”

After he said that, he got embarrassed and instantly ran away on his short little legs.

Tang Tang’s heart melted. How can there be such a cute kid?

To celebrate their reconciliation, Tang Tang decided to make a feast tonight. She took the ingredients out from the fridge and made vegetable meatballs, sweet and sour pork, kung pao chicken, tofu soup, and braised chicken wings. She remembered that Xiao Zhuo really liked the braised chicken wings. Originally, Tang Tang had learned this recipe from TV. Watching cooking programs was her newest hobby.

“Wah –” The little one gasped in wonder when he saw that there were so many dishes. His eyes widened, “Mummy, is it a special day today?” Generally, there would only be many dishes on special days.

Tang Tang nodded, “That’s right. Today is a very special day, so we are celebrating.”

“What occasion is it?” The little one thought hard as he tried to remember which occasion it was. Even though he had racked his brain, he couldn’t think of anything.

Tang Tang stroked his head, “Today is the day Bao Bao has forgiven Mummy. Mummy is very happy, so we are celebrating it.”

Ji Xiao Zhuo blanked. He began laughing, and his chubby cheeks trembled as he laughed.

This was the first time that Tang Tang had seen the little one laugh so happily. At this moment, he truly looked like a child. Previously, he would act as serious as an adult, which was probably a facade to protect himself as he couldn’t rely on anyone. Tang Tang understood him as she used to be the same. She would be quiet in front of other people because she didn’t know what to say; she was also afraid that she would say something wrong and cause trouble. Tang Tang could only laugh, be spoiled, and be her real self in front of her nanny.

So, Tang Tang had been worried about Ji Xiao Zhuo. He was still a child who wasn’t even four years old yet. He shouldn’t be like acting like that.

Seeing that the little one was now willing to be his real self in front of her, she could stop worrying about it.

Tang Tang passed a piece of coke chicken wings to the little one, “Do you want Mummy to feed you?” Xiao Zhuo didn’t know how to use chopsticks. He could only use a fork, and it was difficult to use that to eat chicken wings.

Ji Xiao Zhuo shook his head. He stabbed his fork into the chicken wing, “I can eat by myself. I’m not a three-year-old kid.”

Tang Tang was rather speechless, “ …Alright. You are not three years old.” You’re a three and a half years old kid.

Just when the mother and son started to eat, they suddenly heard the sounds of a key rattling at the door. The two of them stopped and looked towards the entrance.

A few seconds later, a man wearing a military uniform and a firm expression appeared as the door opened.
