"The kids are quite naughty. You're really so good-tempered. I'm really sorry," Zhao Shuyan said before Lin Yuqing could get angry, elevating Lin Yuqing to a lofty position.
As soon as Zhao Shuyan said this, the hotel manager immediately chimed in. People around looked at Lin Yuqing with admiration in their eyes.
Lin Yuqing felt a surge of anger welling up in her throat. For the first time, she suffered a silent setback in front of so many people. She looked as if she had swallowed a fly.
"You don't mind, do you?" Zhao Shuyan added immediately. This left Lin Yuqing at a loss as to how to express her anger even if she wanted to.
"It's okay," Lin Yuqing gritted out these two words through her teeth. Her forced smile looked worse than a cry. Looking at her clothes, she felt heart - aching.
Ji Beichuan wanted to go and help, but before he could say a word, Shen Nanyi and her mother had already put Lin Yuqing in her place.
Thinking about the setbacks he had suffered at Lin Yuqing's hands and seeing the current situation, Ji Beichuan seemed to understand something all of a sudden.
"Hug," Ji Beichuan stretched out his arms and said coldly under everyone's gaze.
Ji Beichuan's sudden action stunned Lin Yuqing for a moment. She was a bit slow to react, and there seemed to be disbelief in her eyes.
All along, Ji Beichuan had never liked her. She had even used this to make the Ji family think that Ji Beichuan was very ill - behaved. Now, was Ji Beichuan suddenly changing his attitude?
"Don't you like me?" Although Ji Beichuan was young, he was a clever one. Seeing that Lin Yuqing didn't respond, his little face immediately fell, looking very sad.
Watching from the side, Shen Nanyi silently applauded Ji Beichuan in her heart.不愧是跟自己有渊源的人, he was indeed smarter than others. He could catch on quickly.
To deal with someone like Lin Yuqing, they could fight fire with fire.
"No, no. How could I? Auntie is just happy!" There were still people from the Ji family in the restaurant. No matter how much she disliked Ji Beichuan in her heart, Lin Yuqing wouldn't show it on her face. She smiled and picked Ji Beichuan up.
Different from Shen Nanyi's weight, Ji Beichuan was at an age where he had been drinking milk powder for five years. He had grown some weight.
The moment she picked Ji Beichuan up, Lin Yuqing felt a crack in her back.
How could a kid be so heavy?
The Shen Yi family always thought that Lin Yuqing was not a good person and didn't want Ji Beichuan to go with her. But now that Ji Beichuan was willing, they had no reason to stop him.
Lying in Lin Yuqing's arms, Ji Beichuan looked really enjoying it. He showed a sweet smile to Shen Nanyi.
Shen Nanyi felt a strange emotion towards Ji Beichuan and also smiled.
Some people make an eternal impression at first sight. At this moment, Shen Nanyi didn't know how deep an imprint she had left in Ji Beichuan's heart, and this memory accompanied Ji Beichuan through his darkest days.
Carrying the dozens - pound Ji Beichuan, Lin Yuqing was trembling all over. After years of living a pampered life, it was really difficult for her to hold such a heavy child.
Several times, Lin Yuqing wanted to hand Ji Beichuan to the bodyguard or the nanny. But every time she tried to let go, Ji Beichuan would act coquettishly towards her pitifully.
After not seeing him for a few days, Lin Yuqing felt as if Ji Beichuan had been replaced. He was so natural in acting cute and coquettishly towards her. With so many people around, Lin Yuqing was completely under Ji Beichuan's control and had no way out.
This little episode soon passed, and the Shen Yi family's life returned to calm again. But the arrival of a person two days later broke this peace.
