Chapter 63: Don’t Disturb Our Son
“This, this, this…”
Hearing his wife suddenly become emotional, Ji Yunqi panicked. What should he do?
Ji Yunqi’s flustered appearance seemed particularly cute in Ye Mingkong’s eyes, and images of Ji Yunqi from the past automatically surfaced in her mind.
The strong contrast made Ye Mingkong feel exceptionally good.
The reason for saying those words just now was simply that Ye Mingkong wanted to tease this super cute husband.
Although her husband wasn’t as beautiful as Luo Yao in her younger days, he was irresistible because he was cute~
Teasing him was so fun. A few words of anger and he’d be at a loss, trying to coax her. Clearly, her husband was the one in the weaker position now.
“Alright, alright, no more teasing. Let’s go find our son first.”
Ji Yunqi’s lips parted slightly. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he realized his wife was just playing a trick on him~
“You fellow, you’re still like this even at your age.”
Ye Mingkong was unhappy upon hearing this. What did he mean by “at his age”? She was clearly very young right now.
“What are you talking about? I’m only 18~ years~~ old today.”
Ji Yunqi: ……

Company….
“What, your manager isn’t here?” Ye Mingkong looked at the receptionist with disbelief, seemingly unconvinced by this explanation.
Their son usually didn’t leave work early unless there was something particularly important. Given his personality, he would definitely work until night.
But now, the receptionist actually said their son had left the company in the afternoon, and she was smiling lewdly. This was highly suspicious.
You have to know that although Ji Chengyun was a bit unreliable at home, he was always on point at critical moments. Especially at work, he was quite authoritative.
Yet, this little sister said that the manager of this prestigious company left with a lewd smile…
“The two of you, I’m not lying. The manager also instructed me to tell his assistant directly to let her know to go home and wait for him to return.”
Ye Mingkong and Ji Yunqi exchanged glances, both realizing that something was amiss.
“Okay, okay, thank you.” After perfunctorily saying a few words to the little sister, Ye Mingkong took out his phone to check their son’s location using the family sharing feature.
They were going out tomorrow, and their son wasn’t here? At such a crucial moment, he actually ran off. Where was her authority as a mother then?!!
“Come with me. I want to see what this kid is up to.” With that, Ye Mingkong grabbed Ji Yunqi’s hand and rushed towards the location shown on the phone.
Fortunately, the location wasn’t far. They didn’t even need to take a taxi; they arrived after walking for a while.
Ji Yunqi had guessed what their son was doing. To make their son hide from both his parents, and not be there for them at such a critical moment.
It was likely he was having a romantic encounter~
Although their son had excellent relationships with the opposite sex since childhood, he wasn’t a player. In today’s youth lingo, he was a… pure love warrior!
So, if nothing unexpected happened, Ji Chengyun should be with Zhang Xinrou right now~
“Hey, hey, hey, wife, let’s slow down. Don’t be in such a hurry~” Ji Yunqi pulled back Ye Mingkong’s anxious steps.
Although their son always played tricks on him and was a filial son, she was a good father. Since their son was on a date, she should give him a little time.
Who told her she was a good father?
“Why slow down? What if he changes location in a moment?” Ye Mingkong clearly didn’t understand her son as well as Ji Yunqi and didn’t understand her husband’s actions.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Our son won’t just wander off randomly. We can just go slowly~”
“Alright then…” Although Ye Mingkong didn’t understand her husband’s actions, she faintly sensed something due to their years of tacit understanding.
Thus, the couple walked along the street hand in hand, something they hadn’t done in a long time.
“We… it seems like it’s been a long time since we’ve gone shopping like this…” Ye Mingkong glanced sideways at her husband beside her, who had now become petite and lovely, her expression quite complex.
Ji Yunqi nodded in agreement. This feeling of freedom was indeed long overdue.
Suddenly, Ji Yunqi seemed to see something, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he let go of Ye Mingkong’s hand and ran off alone.
“Hey, where are you going?” Ye Mingkong quickly chased after Ji Yunqi as he ran off. Did her husband not know how cute she was now?
It was already dark, and more importantly, there were many people around. What if someone cast covetous eyes on her husband? If he were to be snatched away at this moment…
By the time they rescued him, he would surely be filled with cream puffs. Ye Mingkong knew this very well, so she had to stick close to Ji Yunqi.
She didn’t want her husband to be taken away by some greasy uncle; that would make her cry…
Ji Yunqi weaved through the crowd and finally stopped in front of a candied haw stick vendor.
“Please give me a candied haw stick, thank you.”
The vendor was an old man, probably in his sixties. Seeing the cute little girl Ji Yunqi come to buy a candied haw stick and say thank you sweetly.
He naturally smiled back, “Okay, okay~. ”
The vendor then took the largest and brightest candied haw stick from the grass rack in his hand and handed it to Ji Yunqi. She paid for it promptly and turned to leave.
“What a lovely child…”
Seeing Ji Yunqi return with a candied haw stick, Ye Mingkong’s face darkened. How old was he, still eating this? How childish!
“If you wanted to eat it, you could have just told me to buy it for you. It’s so dangerous to run off by yourself. You’re not allowed to do this next time, understand?!”
Ji Yunqi nodded indifferently, “Got it. I’ll definitely tell you in advance next time, is that alright?”
“That’s more like it.”
As soon as Ye Mingkong finished speaking, she slightly lowered her head and saw a crystal-clear candied haw stick presented at her lips.
“I heard Yun’er and the others say that if you like someone, you should buy them the first candied haw stick of autumn. This is a way for contemporary young people to express their affection.”
Ji Yunqi put the candied haw stick into Ye Mingkong’s mouth with a smile.
“I think, since we’ve returned to youth, we should naturally experience the romance that young people call it, rather than being confined to our past selves, don’t you think?”
“You old stubborn, really…” Ye Mingkong truly didn’t expect that her husband’s trip to buy the candied haw stick wasn’t because he had become childish and wanted to eat it himself, but because he wanted to buy it for her.
Although she always envied the loving couples among contemporary young people in the past, she never asked for such romance considering she was no longer young and her husband was busy with work.
However, Ye Mingkong never imagined that the romance she had once fantasized about would be realized in this manner. It could be considered a fulfillment of that wish in an unconventional way.
