Chapter 75: She wouldn’t find me a stepmother, would she?
As soon as Ji Yunqi opened the room door after changing clothes, she smelled a fragrance.
Although a bit surprised, her heart felt warm.
“This brat, heh…”
Ji Yunqi knew very well where the fragrance came from. On this happy occasion, it was normal for Ji Chengyun to want to cook for her, and she was happy to accept her son’s filial piety.
Walking into the kitchen, the scene that greeted her was Ji Chengyun cooking while wearing that pink apron. Fortunately, Ji Yunqi had bought a lot of vegetables yesterday.
Otherwise, Ji Chengyun wouldn’t have been able to express his filial piety by cooking. Ji Yunqi didn’t dare to speak and disturb Ji Chengyun, so she quietly leaned against the kitchen door watching Ji Chengyun making pancakes.
It smelled quite fragrant~
…
Ji Chengyun had learned cooking from his dad, so his culinary skills were not bad. Ji Yunqi naturally had confidence in her son’s cooking.
“Dad, taste it quickly, does it taste like before?”
Seeing Ji Chengyun sitting opposite her, looking at her with anticipation, Ji Yunqi felt that everything had not changed, as if the present and the past had merged.
“You child…”
Ji Chengyun propped his chin with one hand, watching the young girl opposite him quietly eating with a smile. At this moment, Ji Chengyun felt extremely content.
Although her mother hadn’t returned, at least her father had. Although his identity was a bit strange, it didn’t matter.
As long as he was still himself, it didn’t matter if his body had changed, as long as the core was still the same.
However, Ji Chengyun suddenly thought of another matter, which was what happened when he went to save his father.
He felt that the old man hadn’t fully realized that he was already a girl. A delayed realization could be very terrifying.
“Dad, don’t go to work there anymore. I’m here at home.” Ji Chengyun really didn’t want his father to work at the bar anymore.
Not only did he have to face danger, but he also had to show fawning smiles to a group of grown men. He couldn’t stand his father being like this, especially since he used to be so spirited and ambitious.
“How can I, as a father, be a leech while my son is still young?” Ji Yunqi’s tone was calm, as if she were stating a truth.
However, this statement was absurd to Ji Chengyun. What did he mean by leech? Wasn’t it the son’s duty to take care of his father when he was down and out?
But knowing his father’s thoughts, Ji Chengyun didn’t directly stop him. He could help his father in an unconventional way, and it would also reduce his own pressure.
“Dad, why don’t you come to our company? I need an assistant, and you can help me. It’s also a way to find a job.”
Ji Yunqi frowned slightly. As her son said, she did need a job now, but would this be considered troubling her son?
“This…”
Ji Chengyun knew his father’s concerns, so he comforted her, “Dad, don’t overthink it. I’ve been wanting to find an assistant recently. You have rich work experience, and no one is more suitable than you.”
Thus, Ji Yunqi agreed. This was indeed the best choice for both father and son.
“Okay, let’s have father and son fight together then.”
Seeing Ji Yunqi nod, the stone in Ji Chengyun’s heart finally fell. He was really afraid that the old man would stubbornly continue working there. He didn’t want his father to be harmed someday.
Looking down at Ji Yunqi’s clothes, Ji Chengyun frowned slightly. He had wanted to say something before, why were the clothes so old? But at that time, their relationship wasn’t confirmed, so he didn’t interfere too much.
But now it was different. She was his father, how could she wear such old clothes?
Looking at Ji Yunqi’s small face, then at Ji Yunqi’s chest, Ji Chengyun also recalled the feeling of hugging Ji Yunqi in the morning.
He had a rough idea. He definitely had to buy clothes for his father, but given his father’s personality, he probably wouldn’t buy those nice women’s clothes.
How could that be!
Since she had become a girl, she should dress herself up properly. Therefore, Ji Chengyun decided to act first and report later!
Given his father’s thrifty habit, as long as he bought them, she would definitely not throw them away and would probably wear them.
But Ji Chengyun thought of another problem. His father seemed to be only 18 years old now, in the prime of youth, and would definitely find a partner in the future.
And his father was a weirdo who was both traditional and trendy.
He would teach him to pursue what he liked, but on the other hand, he would urge him to get married and have children.
It was quite contradictory. If he let his father find a partner himself, Ji Chengyun estimated that his father would have only two outcomes.
Either he would live a lonely life forever, and this possibility was quite high, at least Ji Chengyun had decided on this.
Or, perhaps his father… He wouldn’t find me a stepmother, would he?
She couldn’t be like this either!
In the end, Ji Chengyun didn’t think too much. This matter ultimately depended on his father’s choice. He only needed to be his father’s backup.
He just hoped that such an honest person wouldn’t be deceived by a scumbag…
As soon as this thought occurred, Ji Chengyun was startled. What was he thinking?
Dad… being deceived by a scumbag? He knew every word, but why did it feel so strange when they were put together?
“Son, you’re much better now. You can go to the hospital by yourself later. Dad won’t accompany you.”
Ji Chengyun nodded, “Okay, I know.”
In fact, he was basically fine, only had a slight fever, and it wasn’t a big problem overall. However, to reassure his father, he still needed to go.
“Dad, are you still going to school?”
“Yes, I have a class later.”
“Then I’ll take you.”
Seeing that Ji Chengyun was indeed not very different, Ji Yunqi agreed. At the same time, she was also thinking about when to get her driver’s license again, so she wouldn’t have to trouble her son every time.
…
“Alright, you can stop here.”
Ji Yunqi felt a bad premonition when she saw her son carrying her schoolbag. Could this kid be planning to take her to the classroom?
“It’s okay, let me spend more time with you. Also, text me when school is over tonight, and I’ll pick you up.”
“You’re like this…” Ji Yunqi rubbed her forehead, not knowing what to say: “You’re like my parent, I’m your dad, okay?”
“But now, you’re just an 18-year-old girl.”
In the end, Ji Yunqi couldn’t persuade Ji Chengyun. When she sat in the classroom, she still felt a bit embarrassed, especially when she saw how people in the classroom looked at her when Ji Chengyun entered the classroom with her…
“Sigh…”
