Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"Mom was so worried that she cried. Dad coaxed her for a long time before he stopped. Mom said that you don't want to see her, right? Can I ask when you're willing to see her? She often looks at your photo and smiles so happily."

Jiang Yao's cold and hard heart moved when she heard Cheng Jinnian's words.

Perhaps it was because she was about to become a mother, or maybe that accident had made her understand what it was like to be a mother. So when she heard Cheng Jinnian mention Madam Cheng, Jiang Yao did not feel annoyed.

"How is she?" Jiang Yao touched the tip of her nose and asked in a low voice.

The little boy's eyes lit up when he heard Jiang Yao's question. "Mom has been in good health recently. She can even hug me! But my brother said I'm very heavy, and mom's body has just recovered. I can't always let Mom hug me. Mom will be tired, so I usually walk on my own. No matter how tired I am, I will walk on my own."

After saying that, Cheng Jinnian smiled embarrassedly. "Occasionally, I will let my father carry me, but only when I'm too tired to walk."

Jiang Yao burst into laughter. He was still a child. No matter how precocious he was, he was still a child. He was worried that she would mistake him for a lazy child, so he had to explain that to her.

Her laughter emboldened Cheng Jinnian. He reached out to touch Jiang Yao's belly. With a face full of innocence and curiosity, he poked her with his little finger. It was as if he was touching a pudding. "Sister, Mom said I'm going to be an uncle! Does the baby in your belly really have to call me uncle in the future?"

That was the scene Mrs. Jiang saw when she entered with a plate of fruits. Two siblings who looked alike were sitting together. Cheng Jinnian seemed to be leaning against Jiang Yao as she looked down at the small hand on her belly with a smile. Then, she gently touched her stomach with one hand.

"Xiao Nian, you're already an uncle at such a young age. Aren't you happy?" Mrs. Jiang placed the fruits in front of Cheng Jinnian and then patted his head. "Wait for another two years or so. In the future, a clumsy nephew or niece will follow you around and call you uncle."

"I won't complain that they're clumsy. I'll wait for them!" Cheng Jinnian answered very earnestly. "Mom said I'm going to be an uncle. She's going to be a grandmother. She's very happy."

After that, Jiang Yao did not talk to Cheng Jinnian anymore. Instead, Mrs. Jiang asked more about Madam Cheng's health.

Jiang Yao knew the Jiang family had a private connection with the Cheng family. The Jiang family was kind. When they first met Mrs. Sun, she was unreasonable. The family did not allow Mrs. Sun to acknowledge Jiang Yao.

However, they had a good impression of the Cheng family, so Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang did not object to Jiang Yao's association with them.

Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang were kind people. Otherwise, they would not have treated a daughter they adopted as their own child. They knew that Jiang Yao did not acknowledge her biological mother and that Madam Cheng was very concerned about Jiang Yao. Therefore, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang would sometimes take the initiative to contact Madam Cheng and tell her about Jiang Yao.

For example, they would tell Madam Cheng about Jiang Yao's pregnancy.
