After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Lin Xu usually buys necklaces, earrings and other accessories, and rarely buys rings.

So the moment Ji Tingyang saw the ring, he knew it must have been given by Xie Changyan.

Whenever he thought of Xie Changyan proposing to Lin Xu and trying to take his mother away from him, the coldness in him became more intense.

Ji Tingyang has always been worried that Lin Xu would abandon them and choose a new life, and this seemed to be gradually happening.

He held Lin Xu's hand even tighter, and there seemed to be a storm hidden in his ink-black eyes, which was about to come.

Lin Xu rubbed his frowning brows with her fingers and explained, "There was no proposal, don't let your imagination run wild."

"But..." Ji Tingyang looked at the ring on her hand hesitantly.

"It's just a simple gift. It's really not what you think." Lin Xu held his cheek and looked at him with clear eyes. "Don't you believe what I said?"

The haze on Ji Tingyang's face gradually faded away, and he pursed his lips and said, "I believe it."

But there was still dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Mother, don't wear it."

When he sees it, he will think of Xie Changyan.

Lin Xu knew that he lacked a sense of security, so she could only assure him over and over again, "Didn't I promise you that our family would always be together?"

"Whether I wear this ring or not, we will be together forever. I promise you, okay?" Lin Xu hooked her little finger with his like she was coaxing a child.

This familiar action made Ji Tingyang dazed for a moment.

Memories that had been forgotten before suddenly came flooding back.

"Mom was too busy at work today and forgot to pick you up from the kindergarten. Can you forgive me?" Lin Xu squatted in front of Ji Tingyang and begged for forgiveness pitifully.

I don’t know who he learned this from. Although he is a child of four or five years old, Ji Tingyang always has a stern face.

He turned up his nose and refused to look at her angrily.

"Mom makes a pinky promise that I will pick you up from the kindergarten tomorrow." Lin Xu hooked Ji Tingyang's chubby little hand with her little finger.

"The teacher said that if we make a pinky promise, we must do what we say." Ji Tingyang said in a soft voice.

Lin Xu nodded frantically, "I will definitely not forget it tomorrow."

He could no longer remember whether his mother went to pick him up from the kindergarten.

Just looking at their interlocked little fingers, Ji Tingyang held her hand in return, feeling a surge of nostalgia in his heart.

Perhaps because he was coaxed by Lin Xu, Ji Tingyang was particularly generous today and allowed Lin Xu to go to the hospital to visit Xie Changyan.

Of course, Ji Tingyang also wants to go with them.

"We'll go back after delivering dinner to him. We can't stay for even a minute longer." Ji Tingyang reminded for the eleventh time while riding in the hospital elevator.

Lin Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, okay, I get it. Stop nagging like an old man."

Arrived at the ward.

Lin Xu found that Xie Changyan's health had recovered very well just as he said.

All the densely packed instruments that were previously attached to his body have been removed, the gauze on his head is gone, and he can even get out of bed.

At this moment, he was sitting on a chair by the window, reading a book in his hand, flipping through the pages casually and quickly. It was unknown whether he had finished reading or was just flipping through the pages randomly.

Hearing the noise, Xie Changyan looked up.

As soon as Lin Xu came in, she met his smiling eyes, which were a little warmer than before.

A sense of déjà vu arose in her heart and she was stunned for a moment. Before she could figure out anything, Xie Changyan put down the book in his hand.

"I seem to smell the aroma of food," he said.

Lin Xu came back to his senses, walked over and put the incubator on the table in front of him, "Am I too late?"

"The timing is just right." Xie Changyan smiled faintly.

Lin Xu took out the food from the thermos box, looking somewhat proud, "These are the recipes I asked the nutritionist for. He said they are the most suitable for nourishing the body. I have tried the taste and they are all delicious."

"It does look delicious. You even forgot to wipe the oil from the corners of your mouth." Xie Changyan chuckled and reached out to wipe the oil from the corners of her mouth.

The tip of his thumb gently caressed the corner of her lips, accidentally touching her rosy lips.

Lin Xu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and hot waves came out of her cheeks. You didn't need to look to know that her face must be very red.

She grabbed her sleeve and wiped it messily around her mouth, "Okay, it's gone now."

"My clothes are all dirty." Xie Changyan shook his head and murmured helplessly, "Why is it still like this..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Lin Xu looked at him.

Just as Xie Changyan was about to speak, Ji Tingyang's frosty voice rang out beside him, "The meal has been delivered, and it's time for us to leave."

Ji Tingyang glared at Xie Changyan fiercely, as if he wanted to stare a hole through him.

He touched Lin Xu in front of him, and it was obvious that he was not a gentleman.

Lin Xu's eyes were a little hesitant, and he stammered, "Is it so urgent? Why don't we wait until he finishes eating before we leave? We can also take the thermal box back with us."

Ji Tingyang pursed his lips, his face full of displeasure.

He knew it.

As soon as the mother saw Xie Changyan, she was reluctant to leave.

I clearly told him that I would leave after delivering the meal, but now I have to delay until Xie Changyan finishes eating.

"I promise, we'll leave after he finishes eating." Lin Xu looked at him pleadingly with her round eyes.

Ji Tingyang softened his heart again, and when he came to his senses, his head nodded involuntarily.

His eyes flashed with annoyance.

During the meal, the doctor came to check on Xie Changyan and said he wanted to prescribe some more medicine for him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu followed the doctor to the office, leaving the two incompatible people in the ward.

The atmosphere in the ward was silent for a moment, so quiet that the only sound could be heard was the sound of Xie Changyan picking up his chopsticks.

"How have you been doing over the past decade?" It was Xie Changyan who first broke the stiff atmosphere between them.

Ji Tingyang narrowed his eyes and looked at him warily, "What does it have to do with you how I'm doing?"

"Lin Xu likes you, but I don't. No matter how you try to please me, I will never agree to you two getting married." He said sternly.

Xie Changyan seemed to have heard a joke, and his tone was filled with a sense of joy, "Will it be useful if you don't agree?"

Ji Tingyang paused for a moment, apparently realizing it.

No matter what Lin Xu does, he will be the one who compromises in the end.

Just like before, she delayed going home again.

As long as she coaxed him a few words, he would be unable to help but compromise.

Maybe in the end, he will compromise and watch Lin Xu and Xie Changyan get married.

As long as my mother is happy...

Thinking of this, the expression on Ji Tingyang's face suddenly sank, and he refuted him frantically, "In short, you are just a substitute in her heart, so she won't marry you."
