The Beloved and Pampered Girl - Chapter 787
Chapter 787: Chapter 787: The Little Clingy Spirit
After finishing the rice noodles, everyone headed back to their respective homes and to their respective mothers.
Ouyang Jing went back to school, Xiaoting followed sister Zimo, and Jian Dan naturally returned home with Uncle.
As soon as they entered the house, Xiaoxin rushed into Jian Dan’s arms, “Mommy, I missed you so much!”
“Mommy missed you too!”
“I bet you were having so much fun that you didn’t have time to think about us!” Jian Xiaokai stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall.
“Who said I went to play? Mommy was clearly on a mission to handle ~important matters~!”
“Do you think I believe that?”
Their son was no pushover; conning him was not an easy task.
Ah, the world now had one more person who was as formidable as Uncle.
Seeing Jian Jian starting to falter under her son’s relentless questioning, her lips curled into a smile.
This was good because it would prevent Jian Jian from leaving them thoughtlessly in the future.
“Don’t laugh just yet; I haven’t even started on you! You went with Daxin, how come you let Daxin lose weight?” Jian Xiaokai then turned his questioning gaze toward Chu Liyuan.
Lost weight? Has he really lost weight?
Chu Liyuan sized up Jian Jian from head to toe…
“Where have I lost weight? I clearly gained weight, alright!”
“I say you lost weight, so you lost weight!” Jian Xiaokai declared with an air of finality.
“Okay, okay! Lost weight, lost weight it is; I’ll eat more and gain it back!”
“That’s more like it. Have you eaten yet? Jin’s mom made a lot of delicious food!”
Seeing her son act so coolly but obviously caring so much about her warmed Jian Dan’s heart, and she enveloped Jian Xiaokai in a bear hug.
“Ah? That’s so cheesy!” Jian Xiaokai complained about the cheesiness but his body language betrayed his true feelings.
“Cheesy, where? Mommy missed her son; what’s wrong with a hug?”
“In that case, please don’t keep running off from now on!”
“Sir, yes sir!”
“So, have you eaten?”
“We just ate outside; we’ll eat again later tonight!”
Jian Dan then went to check on the two little babies…
“Eh, how come they seem to have grown so much bigger after just a few days?” That was Jian Dan’s first reaction upon seeing the little ones.
“Yeah! Children grow up so fast!”
Jian Dan gazed at the two little milk babies, their big eyes staring back at her, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily lifted.
Especially Qian Lele, who started flailing her little arms as soon as she saw Jian Dan.
Jian Dan extended her hand, and Qian Lele immediately latched onto her finger, holding on tight and refusing to let go.
“Madam, when you weren’t here, this little one would stop crying as soon as she saw your photo,” the maid informed Jian Dan.
“Ah? Really?”
“Yes! Looks like she’s going to be a clingy one in the future.”
When Chu Liyuan saw that Jian Jian was in Kuaikuai and Qian Lele’s room for quite a while without coming out, he came to find her.
As he entered the room, he saw Jian Jian sitting by Qian Lele’s bedside. “Is Qian Lele that captivating? That you’ve stayed here for so long?”
“I couldn’t help it, look—” Jian Dan showed Chu Liyuan her hand that was firmly grasped in Qian Lele’s.
Chu Liyuan’s brows furrowed slightly.
He tried to pull away gently at first, then with more force, but as soon as he did, Qian Lele’s cries filled the room…
“It’s okay, it’s okay, Qian Lele, don’t cry,” Jian Dan soothingly picked Qian Lele up from the crib, and the baby stopped crying.
For the next hour, Qian Lele clung to Jian Dan because she would cry the moment she was put back on the bed.
When Chu Liyuan saw that Jian Jian’s arms were beginning to shake, he offered, “Jian Jian, let me hold her for a while!”
Seeing Jian Jian struggling, he naturally felt pity for her.
“Okay!”
As soon as Chu Liyuan took Qian Lele from Jian Jian, Qian Lele started wailing again, and no amount of coaxing could soothe her.
Jian Dan felt heartbroken seeing Qian Lele cry like that, so she took her back again.
For some reason, the baby stopped crying the moment Jian Dan held her.
Chu Liyuan, observing Qian Lele’s reaction, knew that the little one was doing it on purpose. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
Qian Lele, as if understanding, clutched Jian Dan’s neck with her little hands and buried her head there…
“Jian Jian, put her back on the bed; once she gets tired of crying, she’ll stop,” Chu Liyuan said with a hint of exasperation.
One Jian Xiaokai was already enough of a headache for him, and now there was Qian Lele.
“Uncle, you can’t do that!”
“Then what? Just keep holding her like this?”
Yes! She really couldn’t keep holding her like this!
“Qian Lele, do you want mommy to hold you because you love her and don’t want her to leave? But if you keep making mommy hold you, she will get very tired. Do you want mommy to be tired?” Hearing Jian Dan’s words, Qian Lele’s big eyes blinked.
After that, Jian Dan tried again to put Qian Lele back in the crib, and miraculously, there were no tears.
“Our Qian Lele is so smart and obedient; mommy will give you a kiss!” Jian Dan gently kissed Qian Lele’s forehead.
Qian Lele excitedly wiggled her hands and feet and even giggled.
