Chapter 49: Ah? My Mom?
Facing Ji Yunqi’s damage output, Ye Mingkong chose to ignore it, while also comforting himself in his heart.
This was just the son being too excited, losing control of himself for a moment and causing an emotional outburst. He would surely compensate him more in the future.
Disregarding Ji Yunqi’s incessant nagging, Ye Mingkong served the last meal to the table, then took the lead in seating himself, looking at Ji Yunqi with a smile.
“Come and eat, what are you still standing there for?”
It was Ji Yunqi’s turn to have a blank expression. He was very curious if this person had some kind of trick up his sleeve. Even after being cursed at like this, he could still sit there and talk to him.
“I was just scolding you.”
“I know.”
“You…”
At this moment, Ji Yunqi’s mind had automatically labeled Ye Mingkong as “shameless” and “thick-skinned.”
“Where is Ji Yunqi?”
Ji Yunqi didn’t quite understand the reason for Ye Mingkong’s appearance at home, but he couldn’t expose his relationship with his father to outsiders because of it. That would be too dangerous.
“Don’t worry, she’s not here, and I can take good care of you~”
“What do you mean?” Ji Yunqi was a bit confused. What did it mean to take good care of him?
“After all… you’re my son~”
Boom~
Ji Yunqi’s mind seemed to explode at that moment. He said he was his son!
Could it be…
That he got together with his dad? And his dad even revealed their secret?
Dad!
You’re confused!
How could you be tricked by some pretty boy, some blonde hunk?
“Who’s your son?!! You open your mouth and spout nonsense. Hurry up and leave my house, or I’ll call the police!” Ji Yunqi said, while reaching out to pull Ye Mingkong from his seat.
“Hey, hey, hey, I’m not lying to you, you’re really my son…”
“Go to hell! Who the hell is your son?”
“I…” Ye Mingkong still wanted to explain something, but Ji Yunqi didn’t seem to intend to give him a chance. He opened the door and was about to throw him out.
It was at this moment that Ji Yunqi emerged from behind the sofa and grabbed one of Ji Yunqi’s arms.
“Son, let go quickly, let him in!”
Ji Yunqi had seen the conversation between his wife and son before and finally understood what was wrong. Saying the other person was his son right off the bat seemed quite rude…
Shouldn’t this kind of family reunion scene involve revealing one’s identity first?
Seeing Ji Yunqi also emerging to stop him, Ji Yunqi’s heart sank by half!
Ji Yunqi listlessly released his hand, lowered his head, and sat back on the sofa, waiting for the two of them to give him an explanation.
At the same time, Ji Yunqi had prepared himself mentally to have his dad find him a… what was this? A stepfather?
Ji Yunqi’s dejected appearance made Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong feel quite sympathetic. They should have explained things clearly earlier. Now, by saying it vaguely, they had caused their son to misunderstand.
Ji Yunqi sat beside his son, reached out to pat his head, and said with a hint of shame: “Son, don’t overthink it, you really are his son.”
“What are you talking about?” Ji Yunqi looked at his loli dad resentfully, wanting to scold him for not upholding the virtues of a proper man, and reminding him that his mom hadn’t been gone long, and the funeral hadn’t even been held.
Yet, his dad was already in such a hurry to find someone new, and what’s more, this person was a man!
But looking at his dad’s frail appearance, Ji Yunqi couldn’t bring himself to say any words of reproach.
His dad couldn’t live with him forever. In the future, someone would have to protect his dad. His dad was just finding some security for her, and he didn’t seem to have the right to say anything to his dad.
“It’s okay, it’s just a step-”
“He’s your mother!”
Before Ji Yunqi could finish speaking, Ji Yunqi dropped a bombshell.
Those short four words sent Ji Yunqi’s consciousness reeling. What had he just heard?
Mom?
Ji Yunqi’s mouth hung open, speechless. He simply stared blankly at Ji Yunqi, saw the confident expression on Ji Yunqi’s face, and then turned to look at Ye Mingkong, who was smiling like an idiot next to him…
That smile was so familiar…
But why was he so unwilling to accept this reality right now?
His dad would definitely not lie to him about this, but this guy…
“You…”
Hearing his son speak, Ye Mingkong nodded excitedly: “Son, I’m your mom!”
Ji Yunqi was embraced by Ye Mingkong with a blank expression. In fact, his mind was still a complete blank. Even though he had accepted the fact, why couldn’t he feel happy?
So, all this time, the “blonde hunk” he was worried about was actually his mom?
He was actually worried about his dad being lured away by his mom?
He was so stupid… really…
Ji Yunqi remained stunned for the entire night, seemingly dazed. Until he heard a bang!
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw that his dad’s room door was closed, and his mom… seemed to have gone in just now…
…
It’s bad!
Isn’t his dad in danger now!
He wanted to knock on the door to remind them, but Ji Yunqi then remembered that this was a matter between the couple, and he didn’t seem to have the right to interfere…
“Forget it, Dad, good luck to you…”
…
Drip…
Ji Yunqi stumbled out of his room in a daze, intending to wash up and go to work, but he unexpectedly saw an unexpected person in the kitchen…
“You… uh… Mom, what are you doing?”
“Ah? Oh, you’re up? I’m making breakfast. It should be ready by the time you’re done washing up.” Ye Mingkong said with a smile, as if something good had happened.
“Dad always used to cook before, why are you cooking today, Mom?”
“Ah? This…” Ye Mingkong panicked. What should he say? Should he tell his son directly that his dad couldn’t get out of bed, so he was making breakfast?
“Your dad is… still sleeping. I just got home, so I’m cooking. Haha, that’s how it is…”
Ji Yunqi glanced at his adult mom in front of him with a strange look. He always felt that things weren’t that simple, and he really didn’t want to eat his mom’s cooking…
It was because his mom was talented and loved to play. All three meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, had a burnt smell. Lunch and dinner were acceptable, but for breakfast, even if it was just steaming a bun, he would always make some strange things.
Although the taste was not bad, the burnt smell always felt strange, right?
Although he had many doubts in his heart, Ji Yunqi ultimately didn’t suspect anything without reason. As long as these two didn’t cause him any trouble.
Although he had a feeling of unease recently, as if some big trouble was about to be thrown onto him…
…
Fortunately, there were no classes that morning, so Ji Yunqi could rest well. Otherwise, given her current physical condition, she wouldn’t be able to attend classes.
After Ji Yunqi left, Ye Mingkong took the breakfast back to the room to pamper his “wife~”.
“Are you up?”
As the words fell, Ji Yunqi sat up in bed with great difficulty and looked at Ye Mingkong: “You rascal, really, didn’t you go easy on me~”
