Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 236 - He Seems to Have Taken a Liking to Her

Chapter 236 -236 He Seems to Have Taken a Liking to Her

Ji Yuqiao felt like she wanted to pry open Zhou Manhui’s head and ask if there was something wrong with her IQ that made her think Yuqiao’s mockery last time was because of Xiao Yu.

She clearly just found Zhou Manhui displeasing to the eye, okay?

Ji Yuqiao was momentarily speechless.

Watching Xiao Yu in front of her, adamant about wanting to help her, Ji Yuqiao began to explain, “I didn’t mean to help you; she misunderstood.”

“Even if she misunderstood, if you walk over there now, you might fall again, I…”

“Yuqiao, what happened to your foot?”

...

Before Xiao Yu could finish, a clear and mellow voice sounded from the side.

Zhao Jiayan walked over and naturally supported her arm.

And Ji Yuqiao, utterly unlike her initial indifference toward Xiao Yu, looked at Zhao Jiayan with a hint of annoyance in her eyes, “I had bad luck leaving the house today. As soon as I got out of the car, I accidentally stepped into a hole and broke my heel.”

“Help me for a second. There’s a shoe store up ahead; I need to buy a new pair of shoes there,” Ji Yuqiao leaned her weight onto Zhao Jiayan.

Xiao Yu clenched his hand tighter.

So, it’s not that she doesn’t need help from others, just not from him.

“Okay, or shall I carry you?” Zhao Jiayan asked.

“No need; it’s just a few steps, so a little support will do,” Ji Yuqiao shook her head.

As they spoke, the two’s figures crossed past Xiao Yu, as if he was completely ignored.

Watching their hands joined together, Xiao Yu’s gaze deepened, his heart as if pierced by a needle, slightly aching.

He frowned, his palm pressing against the somewhat strange feeling in his chest.

Forcing himself to suppress this unusual sensation.

After arriving at the shoe store, Ji Yuqiao bought a new pair of high heels.

With the new shoes on, she seemed to come back to life, her footsteps steady and vigorous, her pace even quickening a bit.

“Be careful not to fall into a hole again,” Zhao Jiayan smiled and kindly reminded.

“I won’t trip over the same spot twice,” Ji Yuqiao walked briskly, circled around, and returned to Zhao Jiayan’s side.

“Right, that summer camp you mentioned last time; I’ve decided to join. Can you help me sign up?” She suddenly remembered the main reason she had asked to meet him and said it right away.

Ji Yuqiao had been conflicted for the past few days, mentioning it to Lin Xu before going to sleep at night, and of course, Lin Xu supported her going.

Even said that when she won the grand prize at the national competition next year, she would give her a big gift.

Although her eldest and second brothers had given her plenty of gifts and she lacked nothing, if it was something from her mother, she would cherish it even if it was just a pen.

Ji Yuqiao’s previously hesitant heart suddenly became firm—she wanted to study hard!

Receiving her response, Zhao Jiayan replied, “Of course, I can.”

“Then, what should I prepare for the departure? I might as well go buy it today while I have the time.”

“I need to buy some stuff too, so let’s go together.”

“Okay.”

…

After hearing about Ji Yuqiao going to the summer camp, Ji Tingyang’s impatience seemed to be written all over his face.

“I’m leaving, and you’re that happy?” Ji Yuqiao looked at Ji Tingyang with a grievance in her eyes.

“Not at all, you’re overthinking it,” Ji Tingyang’s tone was detached.

“What do you mean ‘not at all’? I’m not leaving until next week, and you’ve already prepared my luggage,” Ji Yuqiao huffed.

“It’s just preparation in advance so we don’t forget,” Ji Tingyang said earnestly.

“Second brother has gone to another city to film a variety show and won’t be back for a while, and I’m going to the summer camp and won’t be home. Are you happy to spend time alone with mother?” Ji Yuqiao stood with her hands on her hips, seeing right through his little scheme.

Ji Tingyang coughed, “You’re overthinking it.”

“Since that’s not the case, then it’s fine. Mother was afraid you’d be unhappy and didn’t dare tell you, but actually, she’s going to summer camp with me too,” Ji Yuqiao said delightedly.

“No way!” Ji Tingyang’s expression soured immediately, “You’re not a little kid, what does she need to accompany you for when you go to class?”

“It’s not about accompanying me, it’s called a vacation, you know? Mother can go out and have fun during the day when I’m in class, and we can still be together at night.”

Ji Tingyang fell silent for a moment, “…It’s not safe for her to be out there alone, so I might as well go too.”

Ji Yuqiao patted his shoulder seriously, “Big brother, you’re not a child anymore, you can’t always stick to mother, you need to learn to grow up.”

Ji Tingyang lifted his eyes and gave Ji Yuqiao a cold glance.

A sense of crisis immediately blossomed in the bottom of Ji Yuqiao’s heart, and he ran off in fright.

Big brother really is too clingy.

But Xie Changyan was not much different.

After he heard that Ji Yuqiao was going to summer camp, he only told her a few words to stay safe, but when he found out that Lin Xu was going too, he made a phone call right away.

“Cancel or postpone all of next week’s work, I’m going to be away for a while.”

“Father, where are you going?” Ji Yuqiao asked, puzzled.

“To go on vacation with your mother,” Xie Changyan said, his eyebrows arching slightly.

Ji Yuqiao: “…”

I knew it!

Our mother-daughter world was bound to be disrupted. I was wrong; I shouldn’t have told big brother and father.

Ji Yuqiao ran to Lin Xu with a gloomy face and complained tearfully.

Lin Xu also looked at Xie Changyan in surprise, “Are you joking, or is this for real?”

How could a week’s work be rescheduled just like that?

Xie Changyan chuckled lightly, “Of course it’s for real.”

Ji Yuqiao’s sobbing grew louder.

Not until Lin Xu coaxed her, saying that this way she would have both her father and mother to accompany her at night, and two people to spoil her, did Ji Yuqiao’s complexion improve slightly, but she still grumbled reluctantly, “But at night, I want to sleep with mother.”

Xie Changyan lifted his eyes and gave her a glance, carrying a hint of a faint threat.

Ji Yuqiao got so scared that she immediately took off, “It’s such a waste to sit here all the time when we’re at the golf course, I’ll go and have some fun!”

As if there was a beast chasing behind her, Ji Yuqiao ran while looking back over her shoulder.

By accident, she bumped into a sturdy chest.

“Sorry.” As Ji Yuqiao said this and looked up, she paused upon seeing Xiao Yu.

Why do I keep running into him lately?

Ji Yuqiao frowned slightly, feeling somewhat impatient in her heart.

Xiao Yu was just as surprised.

After their last parting, something had been off with him; every time he closed his eyes, he’d remember the scene of her leaving with Zhao Jiayan.

And when she bumped into his arms again, the tumultuous thoughts in his mind scattered, and the calm lake in his heart rippled with waves.

He steadied Ji Yuqiao’s waist, the scent of her perfume lingering at his nose, as if the dream that had been interrupted last time had found its answer.

It was regretful.

He seemed to understand the feelings he had for Ji Yuqiao during this time.

He felt like he was starting to like her.
