Shao An was only a child that wasn't even three years old, how could he let this thousand-year-old demon, Ji Jingbai, off so easily?
"So what you're saying is, Mom pretended to hate you, but she didn't really hate you, did she?"
"Something like that."
"But why would Mom do that?" Shao An was confused, obviously such a question was not something he could understand.
Ji Jingbai winked at him, and said mysteriously: "This is a common problem with women, they have different hearts and mouths, you will understand when you grow up."
Hearing that, Shao An nodded his head, and replied with "Oh", but looking at his expression, he still had a look of not knowing what was going on.
Ji Jingbai did not care about this at all. What he wanted was for him to not understand, otherwise how would he be able to fool him.
"So, your mother doesn't really hate me, so you can like me too."
Hearing these words, Shao An's eyes instantly lit up, and his expression became much more lively: "Really? I can like you now?"
Previously, when Shao Ran told him to stay away from her uncle, he was a little hurt. He did not expect to get such good news right now.
It was a very strange feeling that when Shao An saw this uncle, he wanted to get close to him.
A child would never be able to hide their expressions. Ji Jingbai could see through their thoughts with a single glance, and he felt extremely moved in his heart.
He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "But your mom is a bit shy, so don't show your thoughts too clearly. Just get along normally."
"How can it be considered normal?" Shao An blinked his big watery eyes and asked curiously.
Ji Jingbai thought for a while and said: "It's you who should not resist getting close to me. But if your mother is unhappy, you should listen to her.
Shao An nodded again, his face still had a hazy expression, as if he understood something.
Seeing that, Ji Jingbai did not know whether to laugh or cry. She extended her hand and pinched his smooth cheeks, laughed, and said nothing more.
Shao Ran brought out the Fried Rice with Eggs that he had fried. Just as he was about to call Ji Jingbai over to eat, he saw that he was carrying Shao An and sitting on the sofa to watch television.
At the beginning, she had felt that this scene was very warm, a scene that she had once dreamed of.
However, when she thought about it, her heart panicked and she quickly walked over.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Ji Jingbai was just about to turn around and see what was going on when he felt that his hands were empty. Focusing his gaze, he saw that Shao An was already in his embrace, hiding very far away from him.
"Ji Jingbai, what do you want? Let me tell you, don't think of taking An An from me. An is my child, my child alone.
Seeing that Shao Ran's face was filled with vigilance, Ji Jingbai's face couldn't help but darken, and he spoke while holding back his anger: "You're thinking too much, I was just chatting with An An, and didn't try to take him away. If you don't believe me, you can ask him, what did I tell him just now."
Shao Ran subconsciously looked towards Shao An and saw him say with an innocent expression: "Mom, this uncle is accompanying me watching this cartoon, but he doesn't even know who's inside there. I still need to explain it to him one by one."
As he said that, he bent down to's ear and whispered in his ear, "This uncle is really stupid."
Although it was just a whisper, children still did not dare to lower their voices, so Ji Jingbai, who was not far away, heard it clearly and could not help but have a few black lines slide down from his forehead.
On the other hand, Shao Ran was amused by Shao An's Tong Yan's childishness, she reached out and ruffled his hair, looked at Ji Jingbai, pursed her lips, and suddenly felt that her actions just now were a little inappropriate. She was extremely embarrassed, with a slight blush on her face, she stuttered: "Um, um, dinner is ready, you go, you go eat."
Ji Jingbai understood her, and every time she felt guilty, she would involuntarily stutter.
Seeing her shy look, Ji Jingbai chuckled, "Then you'll accompany me to eat."
"Don't you know how to eat by yourself? Why do you still need me to accompany you?" Shao Ran glared and angrily rejected, "I still want to play with An An.
"Then I won't eat it, it doesn't matter if I starve to death."
With that, Ji Jingbai calmly sat on the sofa, not moving at all, his eyes not even looking in her direction.
Seeing that, Shao Ran was immediately stunned.
Who was it that wanted to eat? He actually dared to threaten her with the question of whether she was going to eat or not.
Shao Ran clenched her teeth and took a few deep breaths, suppressing the anger in her heart. Shao Ran was conflicted for a moment, but in the end, still reluctantly compromised: "I'll accompany you to eat, but we've agreed in advance that after we finish eating, you will leave quickly.
Hearing that, Ji Jingbai raised his eyebrow, without saying anything, he stood up and walked towards the table.
Looking at his back, Shao Ran bit her lips, placed Shao An on the sofa, and said gently: "Play by yourself for a while longer, mother will come over in a while, okay?"
"Then, Mom, can I have a candy bar?" Shao An pointed to the candy jar on the tea table, his eyes filled with desire.
Shao Ran turned her head to look, and her eyes immediately filled with pain.
When she was packing her things, she had casually placed the candy jar there. Shao An had been looking at it for a long time, but didn't take it apart or eat it.
What a sad, sensible child.
"Of course it can be eaten. Mom bought it for An An."
With that, Shao Ran took the candy jar, tore open the wrapping, and poured out a candy, which he handed over to him, "Eat it."
Shao An looked at the candy, thought for a while, then reached to her lips: "Mom will eat first."
"Mom is an adult and doesn't eat candy anymore." Shao Ran endured the pain in her heart, and tried her best to sound very steady, "Just eat peacefully."
Therefore, Shao An no longer hesitated and carefully stuffed the candy into his mouth. Immediately, his eyes became crescent moons.
Seeing that he was satisfied so easily, Shao Ran's entire heart was filled with bitterness. She kissed his little face, and just as she was about to get up and leave, she saw that Ji Jingbai was standing a few steps away from her, staring fixedly at her.
Those usually cold, emotionless eyes, at this moment, contained an unknown emotion that overturned rivers and seas, and its meaning was unclear.
Looking at him, Shao Ran felt as if she had been frozen in place, and didn't know what to do.
