Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

“I’m not wrong. I saw the ring on her finger. She’s married, so I should call her Auntie instead of Sister. If I saw her husband, do I call him Uncle or Brother? Are they husband and wife or brother and sister?”

The little boy broke free from Cheng Jinyan’s hand and walked forward alone. No one knew if he left because he was angry after Cheng Jinyan scolded him, or if he did not like Jiang Yao.

“I’m sorry.” Cheng Jinyan quickly apologized.

“Your son isn’t wrong; I’m married. So, it’s not wrong of him to call me Auntie. Are you here to visit your family in the hospital? Go ahead, then. Your son is young, but he has his own thoughts. Hurry up and keep an eye on him. Don’t let him out of your sight; I heard of human traffickers recently.”

“He is not—”

Cheng Jinyan wanted to explain, but Jiang Yao was only his casual acquaintance, so there was no need to explain so much. Then, he smiled apologetically at Jiang Yao and left to chase after the little boy.

“That child has a personality.”

Luo Ruoran laughed. “He looks like he’s about three or four years old, but he behaves like a 23 or 24-year-old.”

Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows and said, “I’m surprised that a three or four-year-old kid has such a terrifying observation ability.”

Jiang Yao took off her gloves and shook the ring on her ring finger. She said, “He noticed that I was wearing a ring. He’s just a three or four-year-old kid.”

When Jiang Yao was in the hospital, she changed Chen Lanying’s son’s clothes and read the check-up results, so she did not wear gloves on her hands. When she left the hospital, she was talking to Luo Ruoran as they followed the nurse, so she did not remember to put them back on. When Cheng Jinyan stopped her, she thought that the two of them knew each other. They had bumped into each other in Jin City, so they probably needed to talk for a while. She was afraid of the cold, so she put the gloves back on before Cheng Jinyan approached them.

The child probably noticed the ring on her fingers during the few seconds when she was wearing the gloves.

That was her wedding ring. It was gold, but it was very thin and inconspicuous. However, Jiang Yao liked it because the style was simple. After she came back, she took the ring out of the drawer and put it back on. She was already used to wearing it. That wedding ring seemed to have become a part of her body. She did not feel any discomfort.

However, in just a few short seconds, that child had noticed the ring on her finger. He even deduced that she was married and not because she liked to wear jewelry.

Luo Ruoran thought that the child was older than an average child, but she was also stunned when she heard Jiang Yao’s words. When she thought about it carefully, the child did not move his gaze away from Jiang Yao. It did not seem strange at that time, but it was weird when she thought about it.

A three or four-year-old child

When a three or four-year-old child stared at a stranger, others would think that he was brave and curious. No one would believe that the child was observing or analyzing that person.

After Luo Ruoran recovered from her shock, she said, “When I first saw the little boy, I was actually quite surprised. Don’t you feel that the boy looks a little like you? Of course, he looks like Mr. Cheng too. If I did not know you and you were standing with Mr. Cheng and his son, I would have thought you were a loving family of three. The child has got the couple’s best features. Your face shape, lips, and eyes, and Cheng Jinyan’s eyebrows and nose; he is really a miniature combination of you two.”
