Lu Sinian took the opportunity to nudge into her embrace a few times, and said with grievance: "Aunt Tu is bullying me now, and if she becomes my stepmother, I would surely be doomed! Sister Tongtong, promise me that you’ll never leave me, okay?"
His unconditional reliance on her made Ji Niandong’s heart warm. She hugged him and slowly asked, "Nian Nian, why do you like Sister Tongtong so much?"
"I liked her from the first time I saw her!" Lu Sinian lifted his small face, blinking his eyes, "Doesn’t Sister Tongtong like Nian Nian? Our eyes look so alike!"
Ji Niandong nodded, squatting down to be at his height, "Of course I like you! Sister Tongtong liked you a lot when she first saw you too. But how did you first recognize Sister Tongtong when you saw her as a child back then?"
Lu Sinian furrowed his brow, thought hard for a moment, and asked back, "I’ve never seen Sister Tongtong when she was a child, right? Sister Tongtong, were you bitten silly by Jiu Jiu? You weren’t born when I was little!"
"Haven’t you watched the TV drama ’Family Unity’? Sister Tongtong played the role of Xiao Yu there!" she said while fixing her gaze on him, her eyes gentle yet carrying an inspecting expression.
Lu Sinian scratched his head, thought for a bit and showed an expression of surprise, "Sister Tongtong acted in a drama before? I’ll watch it when I get home tonight. Was Sister Tongtong especially beautiful when she was little?"
Ji Niandong’s expression changed slightly; if she remembered correctly, Lu Beichen had said he wanted to marry her because his son liked the character she played in ’Family Unity’.
Ji Niandong gave a gentle smile, "Then why did Nian Nian like Sister Tongtong so much when you first saw her?"
"Because Sister Tongtong is like Mom!" he quickly replied, then hurriedly covered his mouth, bowing his head with some embarrassment, "Aren’t our eyes the same?!"
Looking up, he glanced at Ji Niandong intentionally or unintentionally, seeing her not speaking for a moment, reached out to tug on her sleeve.
Ji Niandong finally responded, surprised by the child’s special feelings for her—like Mom?!
Because their eyes are alike? But hadn’t the child just realized today that their eyes are similar?!
However, she had never thought of herself as eligible to be a mother at only twenty-four!
The small hand clutching her clothes stopped, answering in a low and sorrowful voice: "Sister Tongtong, will you have a baby with Mr. Lu?"
He lowered his head looking at her, as if he had done something wrong!
"If you have a baby with Mr. Lu, will you still like me?"
His bright eyes stared at him without blinking, making Ji Niandong’s heart soften. She held him in her arms and gently said, "Sister Tongtong will always like Nian Nian, and currently, I won’t have a baby with Mr. Lu!"
"Really?" He looked up at her, his eyes full of worry.
This child is usually carefree; his sudden seriousness made Ji Niandong feel quite a bit of heartache.
A child lacking love always feels so insecure!
And this child thought of her as a mother when he first saw her, so in the future, she will definitely try to be a good mother and love him dearly!
Ji Niandong nodded heavily, "Alright, let’s go home!"
She handed her hand over to him, and Lu Sinian happily took it, following her and muttering softly, "If I were older, I would definitely fight to have you as my wife!"
Ji Niandong couldn’t help but smile, "You don’t have a chance anymore!"
"Hmph! That’s not necessarily!"
