“Shut up; don’t cry!”
Ji Ziming’s head hurt from his son’s cries; he really did not know who his son resembled since he loved to cry so much .
When he was young, he hardly cried, but this cheap son of his loved to cry when it came to anything .
This made him really unhappy .
As his son, how could he act like a little girl who cried as and when he liked?
“Waaaa! Mommy, mommy!”
This time around, not only was the child terrified of him, he cried even louder .
Pei Ge, whose heart almost melted from the child’s cries, immediately frowned when she saw the man acting fierce to the boy in her arms .
“Alright . Stop being fierce to him . I’ve already told you earlier not to be so fierce with children . ”
She glared at the man before softly comforting the child in her arms .
“Alright . Stop crying; stop crying . I won’t leave; won’t leave . ”
“Wu! M-Mommy, are you really not leaving? Wu wu!”
When the child heard her words, he sniffed as he looked at her with blurry eyes and asked in an aggrieved voice .
“Yes, I’m not leaving . ” She bent her head and planted a soft kiss on his cheek .
After being kissed by her, the child’s face flushed almost at once, and he appeared very shy as he hid his head in her embrace .
For some reason, Ji Ziming felt unhappy upon witnessing their interaction .
It was as though his treasure had been snatched away by someone else, and this person was none other than his son .
“Ha ha! This is even better! I was just about to ask Miss Regina to stay at our place for the night but was afraid of being too abrupt . ”
Madam Ji smiled when she saw that her grandson had stopped crying .
“Huh?”
She only intended to pacify the child to sleep and leave afterward but did not expect the older woman to take her words for real .
Meanwhile, the people who had taken her words for real were not just the older woman .
“Then, I’ll stay here for one night with her,” Mu Heng chirped in, grinning .
The corners of her mouth twitched when she heard this playboy’s words .
“That’s fantastic! I want to sleep with mommy!”
As a result, she was forced to stay and pretend as ‘Baby’s mommy’ for an entire night .
“Mommy, I wanna listen to bedtime stories . ”
She smiled helplessly when she saw the child, all dressed in pajamas and under his blanket, holding a storybook .
“Alright . Let me shower first…”
She shook her head helplessly and sighed before agreeing .
“Alright, mommy; go quickly!”
The child waved the storybook in his hand as he rushed her while grinning .
Seeing the bright smile of his face, she let out an equally bright smile as she entered the room’s toilet .
Once she was done washing up and drying herself, she returned to the bedroom again .
She happened to see the child hiding something under his pillow .
“Baby, what are you hiding?” she asked curiously .
However, the child merely shook his head and kept the pillow tightly under him .
“Nothing, nothing! I’m not hiding anything . ”
Seeing that the child was unwilling to reveal it, she stopped pressing as well . Grinning, she walked to the bed, removed her slippers, and snuggled under the blankets right beside him .
“What do you want to listen to?” She caressed his head and asked gently .
“‘The Three Little Pigs’!”
He passed the fairytale book to her with anticipation .
Seeing him looking at her with glistening eyes, she tapped his head amusedly before taking the book from him .
Flipping the book open to ‘The Three Little Pigs’ page, she started narrating the story to the child .
“Mother Pig had three children . The eldest was called Hu Hu, the second was Lu Lu, and the third was Du Du . One day, Mother Pig said to the piglets…”
Her gentle voice was very suitable for narrating bedtime stories .
Furthermore, she would tweak her voice when she was narrating the stories .
This made the child, who was listening to her, be immersed in the story, and he did not appear as if he would go to sleep soon .
It appeared as though this were his first time listening to someone narrate a bedtime story to him .
“…Du Du looked at his two older brothers and said with determination, ‘Alright . Let’s build a big brick house . We can bring mommy over and stay together!’”
After she had finished with the story, the child was still not asleep .
“Mommy, those three little pigs are great!”
The child chirped cutely with his bright eyes; it seemed that he truly enjoyed the story .
“That’s right . ”
She closed the fairytale book and grinned at the boy lying in her arms .
“If only I have two older brothers, too… If not, a younger brother or sister is good, too . ”
The child seemed to have thought of something as he lowered his head and mumbled softly .
Hearing his words, she lifted her hand and rubbed his head .
“Next time, you’ll definitely have a younger brother or sister…”
She told the child gently .
“But it still won’t be nice to have a younger brother or sister because they may not like Baby as their older brother…” muttered the child despondently .
She understood what the child meant .
She reckoned that Qiao Jingyun had likely filled this child’s mind with some weird ideas .
“No, it won’t . Baby is so cute and your younger brother and sister will surely like you . ”
“They won’t…”
Seeing the child’s mood getting worse, she simply changed the topic .
“Baby, let auntie tell you the story of ‘The Ugly Duckling’!”
“Sure, sure!”
“Once upon a time, there was a…”
Pei Ge stopped being too expressive when she narrated this time around; thus, the child was slowly lulled into sleep by her gentle voice .
Seeing the child with his eyes closed and sleeping soundly under the blankets, she curled her lips and covered him well before planting a goodnight kiss on his forehead lightly .
“Goodnight, little guy…”
