Chapter 45 - Did He Just Call Me Mom? (4)
Her happy badminton playdate had been ruined.
Little kiddo Chen Mian was a vindictive one. She couldn’t be on the court with a bad aunty around and didn’t want to play badminton anymore. Dragging Ye Qing with her, they left the badminton court.
As the badminton court was located inside the mansion district, the two of them arrived there on foot earlier, so now they were also walking back slowly.
Displeased, Chen Mian pressed the badminton racket against her own face and said, “Mommy, I don’t like that aunty.”
Ye Qing couldn’t agree with her more, “Me neither.”
Chen Mian was even sadder, “So why does mommy still watch bad aunty’s shows?”
Ye Qing, “Aya, that’s two totally different things!”
Little kiddo Chen Mian sounded as though she was wronged, “What’s the difference?”
Ye Qing said, “Aunty Lin Xu is Aunty Lin Xu. The characters in the shows are characters in the show. You don’t think of them as the same person.”
Little kiddo Chen Mian didn’t understand that. She grumbled softly, “I don’t get it.”
Ye Qing gave her an analogy, “For example, mommy didn’t like snakes. But mommy likes eating snake meat a lot! That’s just like even though mommy does not like Aunty Lin Xu in person, but mommy can still enjoy Aunty Lin Xu’s shows.”
Little kiddo Chen Mian continued to grumble softly, “But I don’t like snakes or eating snake meat.”
“You are still a child; you will like it when you’ve grown up,” said Ye Qing in a very meaningful way.
Little kiddo Chen Mian answered, “Alright.”
All these talk about growing up. Why wasn’t she growing up? quq
As the two chatted on their way back, they were getting closer and closer to their front door.
The workers at the mansion saw the two from afar, showed a look of happiness, and quickly ran inside to report that.
“Master, Young Master, Madam and Young Miss are back!”
The man sitting on the couch in the living room nodded slightly. Before he could say anything to the young man next to him, the young man had already tossed away the throw pillow that was in his hands, sprung up from the couch, and dashed out.
Chen Qinyan, “……”
The second untamable one.
The young man dashed to the front door and saw one tall and one short person just walking towards the door. His eyes beamed, and he let loose his legs and dashed forward, “Cotton Candy!”
Little kiddo Chen Mian, who was chatting with her mother, paused for a second before she looked over instinctively. Pleasant surprise flashed through her face. She ran over to him on her stubby little legs with her badminton racket in tow and called out in her sweetest little voice, “Big brother!”
The young man picked the little girl up and twirled her around a few times before he put her back down.
Chen Mian had barely stood steadily back on her feet. Before she even had a chance to ask about her brother’s recent wellbeing, she pointed at the baffled-looking Ye Qing standing behind her and announced excitedly, “Look, big brother, it’s mommy!”
The young man had seen her too. After he made sure that his sister was standing on her feet, he quickly ran up and stopped in front of Ye Qing. With a very emotional expression, he looked at the mother that he hadn’t seen in a long while.
Ye Qing did not recognize this young man, but hearing how little kiddo Chen Mian referred to him as big brother, she assumed he was some sort of a cousin.
She was just about to greet him courteously, but before she was able to say a word, the young man, who was much taller than her, threw his arms around her.
Emotionally, the boy called out to her, “Mom!”
Ye Qing, “???”
Ye Qing, “!!!”
