Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

“What’s your relationship with Jiang Yao?” Second Aunt Li interrupted the conversation between Mrs. Lu and Cheng Jinnian and asked in an unfriendly tone as if she was questioning her.

Cheng Jinnian raised his head and looked at the woman beside him. Then, he said, very seriously, “I don’t like the way you talk to me. You’re very rude. I refuse to talk to an uncultured person!”

The small boy had known that the woman crouching in front of him did not like the two women beside him. Besides, who did they think he was? He was the Cheng family’s young master. How could they be rude to him?

He was stingy and would only show minimal kindness toward an unimportant person, just like how he treated Jiang Yao back then.

Second Aunt Li was so angry that her mouth was crooked. “You little brat! How can you talk to an adult?” The boy had called her uncultured. She was so angry that she wanted to hit him.

However, her hand froze when she met his gaze. She felt a chill down her spine.

The child’s gaze was filled with anger, just like when Lu Xingzhi was furious. Second Aunt Li knew that she might lose her hand if she hit him.

Jiang Yao stood at the back and watched without a hint of worry. She did not doubt that if Second Aunt Li dared to hit Cheng Jinnian, the boy might take out a customized pistol from his pocket and shoot her in the next second.

Seeing that Second Aunt Li was about to make a move, Mrs. Lu quickly pulled the child behind her and said, “Second Sister-in-law, that is the Lu family. We don’t need you to teach our guests any lesson.”

Second Aunt Li withdrew her hand embarrassedly. Of course, she would not say that she was afraid of a child. She hurriedly ran away as the child stared at her. She was so scared that she did not dare say anything more.

First Aunt Li was baffled. She wondered if Second Aunt Li was stupid. She knew that the Lu family was in a good mood, but she was still willing to leave.

Mrs. Lu did not even have the intention of seeing her sister-in-law off. She turned her head and continued to ask Cheng Jinnian gently. “Cheng Jinnian, can you tell me who you are looking for?”

Cheng Jinnian nodded. His gaze swept past Mrs. Lu’s gentle face, then fell on the couple who had been watching the show a few steps away. Finally, his gaze fell on Jiang Yao.

He pointed at Jiang Yao with his tiny hand and said, “I’m looking for her!”

Then, before anyone could react, he sprinted toward Jiang Yao with his arms wide open while shouting excitedly, “Sister!”

Jiang Yao quickly moved behind Lu Xingzhi to avoid Cheng Jinnian’s embrace. Raising her eyebrows, she asked, “Why aren’t you calling me Mother anymore?”

Cheng Jinnian did not expect to be able to hug Jiang Yao anyway, so he did not feel embarrassed at all as he withdrew his hand. He tip-toed and said coquettishly in his baby voice. “Sister, I’m sorry. I was joking with you yesterday. Please don’t be angry with me, okay?”

The other people at the door were stunned when they heard how the little boy addressed Jiang Yao.. They did not remember the Jiang family had such a young child.
