Chapter 135 Looking for Mom
Ye Chengyan is a man of deep affection and passionate love.
When he loves someone, he wants to give her the best of everything in the world, but once he stops loving her, he will immediately take those things back.
Yunzhi knows this all too well.
Fortunately, she had long since given up on any expectations of him.
As dusk fell, Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan took the still-playful Amy and left the amusement park.
Originally, Cheng Shuyan planned to invite Yunzhi to dinner as a way of thanking her, but Amy, who had been full of energy at the amusement park, became drowsy shortly after getting in the car.
"Let's eat another day. Amy's sleepy, let's take her home and get some rest." Yunzhi looked at Amy sitting in her car seat, nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice, and couldn't help but smile.
Looking in the rearview mirror, Cheng Shuyan also saw Amy, who was extremely sleepy. He looked helpless; the dinner plan was ultimately scrapped.
Cheng Shuyan escorted Yunzhi to the villa entrance, and after Yunzhi gave him some final instructions, he drove away.
He thought that once he sent Amy back to the old house, his task for the day would be finished, and he could go back to the company and work overtime.
Who knew that Amy, who had slept the whole way, would wake up as soon as she got back to the old house.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Daddy, are we home yet?"
“You should call him Uncle…” Cheng Shuyan corrected him once, but finally gave up. “Never mind, you stay home and play with Great-Grandpa and the others. Uncle has something to do and has to go out.”
After he finished speaking, he prepared to put Amy on the sofa.
To everyone's surprise, after Amy realized what was happening, she clung to Cheng Shuyan's arm and wouldn't let go, as if she was about to be abandoned, pouting and looking like she was about to cry.
"Daddy stays with Amy, and Amy wants Daddy to stay with her."
Cheng Shuyan was speechless for a moment; he had been framed.
If there were no problems at the company, he would be willing to be a full-time stay-at-home dad, but the problem is that there are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with at the company.
Cheng Shuyan tried to reason with Amy like Yunzhi did.
Amy, who was still half asleep, felt that her father was going to abandon her like a daddy, and her big eyes filled with tears.
"no, do not want."
Cheng Shuyan was at a loss. Yunzhi did the same thing, so why did Amy listen to her but not to her?
Just as Cheng Shuyan was wondering what to do, a gloating laugh came from the side. He looked up and met Jiang Ning's face, which was still full of smiles.
Cheng Shuyan narrowed her eyes dangerously, "You're very free? If you're so free, come and take care of the child."
Jiang Ning swallowed hard and took two steps back.
"Well, forget it, I'm not good enough for that. Cousin, I think you're doing a good job taking care of the kids, so you should take on the responsibility." Jiang Ning turned around and prepared to run away.
How could Cheng Shuyan let her leave like this?
"Jiang Ning." He gritted his teeth and uttered those two words.
Jiang Ning, who had just turned around, froze, turning back with a look of utter misfortune on her face.
Why did she have to be so cheeky and provoke her cousin?
Now things are really messed up; we can't leave.
Jiang Ning turned around and looked at her expressionless cousin with a forced smile.
“Cousin, Grandpa is upstairs. Even if you ask me to take care of the child, I can’t. I’m still a child myself.”
Jiang Ning spoke with absolute certainty.
Cheng Shuyan's eye twitched twice.
Although he had long been aware of his cousin's shamelessness, it now seemed that he hadn't understood her well enough.
"No need, come and play with Amy for a while, Amy is very well-behaved."
Amy was looking at Jiang Ning with curiosity.
This was the second time Amy had met Jiang Ning since she returned, but it was clear that Amy no longer recognized her.
Jiang Ning still tried to struggle.
"I haven't settled the score with you for the nonsense you talked about in front of Grandpa and the others last time, Jiang Ning. Are you really not going to ask me for pocket money anymore?"
Cheng Shuyan's voice was calm but threatening.
Jiang Ning dared not say another word and ran over, "Little Amy, hello, I'm your aunt."
Amy greeted her sweetly, "Auntie."
"Good girl, Amy. How about your aunt plays with you from now on? I'll let your uncle earn money to buy you a gift." Jiang Ning tried her best to lower her voice.
Amy glanced at Jiang Ning, then at Cheng Shuyan, and finally clung tightly to Cheng Shuyan's clothes, silently expressing her stance.
Jiang Ning was not discouraged by the child's rejection.
She stood up and shrugged at Cheng Shuyan. "Cousin, you see, she'd rather be with you than me. But cousin, didn't I hear from my older cousin that she found Amy a kindergarten? She should be in class today, right?"
"Well, but today the kindergarten teacher called me and said Amy was in a bad mood, so I picked Amy up."
"My cousin is really something..." Although Jiang Ning didn't like taking care of children, she felt very sorry for her cousin's niece whose parents were unreliable.
She couldn't help but mutter a couple of things to herself.
Cheng Shuyan coughed lightly and gestured to her with his eyes for her to shut up.
No matter what, the eldest sister is Amy's mother, and you can't complain about the eldest sister in front of Amy's mother.
Although Cheng Shuyan also felt that her eldest sister had done something very outrageous.
Jiang Ning made a zipping motion with one hand near her mouth to indicate that she understood.
Amy had no idea what kind of riddle the two of them were playing.
She blinked her big eyes and scanned the house with her little head, but couldn't find the person she wanted to see.
Amy felt like crying again.
She shook Cheng Shuyan's hand and asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, where's Mommy?"
Her mother was there before she went to sleep, but she was gone after she woke up. Does her mother disappear as soon as she falls asleep? Should she stop sleeping altogether?
Cheng Shuyan's expression froze; he was unsure how to explain it to Amy.
Jiang Ning misunderstood, thinking that Amy was referring to her biological mother. She took out her phone and glanced at the time. "My older sister should be awake by now. I'll make a video call to her and tell her that Amy misses her and asks her to come back soon."
Just as Jiang Ning was about to make a call, Cheng Shuyan reached out and stopped her.
"No, there's no need to call, since my older sister won't be coming back anyway." Cheng Shuyan didn't want Jiang Ning to know that Yunzhi had spent the day with Amy and that Amy had called her "Mom," so she made up an excuse.
Otherwise, with Jiang Ning's mouth, who knows what nonsense she would spout in front of the old man.
Jiang Ning paused, her hand poised to dial the phone.
She thought about her older cousin's unreliable nature and nodded in agreement.
“Then I’ll go upstairs and ask Grandpa to come down and play with Amy. He was just wondering why Amy hasn’t come back yet,” Jiang Ning said, turning to go upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Amy made a surprising remark at that moment.
"Daddy, didn't Mommy promise Amy today that she would stay with Amy and buy her ice cream in the summer? Why is Mommy gone when Amy wakes up from her nap? Does Mommy hate Amy?"
