Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

The afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and onto a park bench. Ji Yan and Zheng Haoqian were sitting on the bench. After a frank exchange, the atmosphere between the two became noticeably more relaxed.

Not far away, Zheng Yuanhao's tiny figure ran towards them, his little face filled with curiosity and anticipation.

He looked at Ji Yan first, then turned to Zheng Haoqian and asked doubtfully, "Dad, have you known Aunt Yanyan for a long time?"

Zheng Haoqian smiled and nodded. He reached out and rubbed Zheng Yuanhao's head, and said softly, "Yes, Yuanhao. She is the new mother your father told you about before."

"New mother?" Zheng Yuanhao's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Then why didn't Dad tell me last night?"

Zheng Haoqian explained with a smile: "Because Dad didn't see Aunt Yanyan yesterday, he wasn't sure, so he didn't tell you."

Ji Yan was confused when she heard the term "new mother". She turned to Zheng Haoqian with a question in her eyes: "Ah Qian, what's this 'new mother'?"

Zheng Haoqian was about to speak when Zheng Yuanhao couldn't wait to interrupt: "Aunt Yanyan, my dad said he would take me to find a new mother, and said she would be very good to me!" Zheng Yuanhao spoke too fast, and his words were mixed with innocence and excitement. Ji Yan was confused.

Seeing this, Zheng Haoqian knew that hiding it would be useless, so he told Ji Yan the whole story. He told how Zheng Yuanhao's mother neglected to take care of him and even beat him because of money, and how he decided to take Zheng Yuanhao away from his original home and find a new home that could give him love and warmth for his health and happiness.

Ji Yan was shocked and sympathized as she listened to Zheng Haoqian's narration. She had never thought that there would be a mother in the world who would treat her child like this.

She looked at Zheng Yuanhao's innocent face, and her heart was filled with heartache. She gently pulled Zheng Yuanhao over, hugged him in her arms, and said softly: "Yuanhao, auntie will take good care of you in the future."

Zheng Yuanhao felt Ji Yan's warmth, and tears flashed in his eyes. He raised his head, looked at Ji Yan, and called sweetly, "Mom!"

This address made Ji Yan stunned. She looked at Zheng Haoqian, only to see Zheng Haoqian smiling and nodding at her. Although Ji Yan was touched, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

She patted Zheng Yuanhao's head gently and said softly: "Yuanhao, just call me auntie."

Zheng Yuanhao nodded obediently and called out sweetly, "Aunt Yanyan!"

Ji Yan agreed with a smile, and then picked up the snack box that had fallen from the ground. Fortunately, the snacks inside were not damaged.

She opened the box, picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Zheng Yuanhao. Zheng Yuanhao happily took the dessert and began to taste it.

Zheng Haoqian also picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. He looked at Ji Yan and smiled, "I've never eaten anything you made before in Beijing. I didn't expect that today, thanks to Yuan Hao, I can actually eat something you made."

Ji Yan blushed when he said that. She picked up a piece of dessert and blocked Zheng Haoqian's mouth, feeling a little embarrassed. "You're the only one who talks too much."

Zheng Yuanhao, who was standing by, couldn't help but giggle when he saw the interaction between the two. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, warm and beautiful.

……

On the park bench, the sun shines on the three people, leaving mottled light and shadows. Ji Yan, Zheng Haoqian and Zheng Yuanhao have just finished enjoying delicious snacks and are now playing happily on the grass. Time passes quietly, and the afterglow of the sunset shines on the lawn, adding a bit of warmth and tranquility to this space.

Ji Yan looked at her watch and sighed softly. She knew it was time to say goodbye. She stood up and said to Zheng Haoqian and Zheng Yuanhao with a smile, "It's getting late, Ah Qian, I have to go home."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Haoqian immediately stood up and held Ji Yan's hand.

His eyes were full of reluctance and expectation: "Yan Yan, since we have reunited, why don't you stay and accompany me? Will you come to my place tonight?"

Zheng Yuanhao, who was standing by, jumped up excitedly when he heard his father's words, staring at Ji Yan with wide eyes. He liked this gentle aunt and hoped she could stay.

Ji Yan felt the warmth of Zheng Haoqian's palm, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

But she still gently broke free and said with a smile: "Ah Qian, thank you for your invitation. But I am still living in Fang's house, my parents are also there, I have to go back. If it's not hot, my parents will be worried."

When Zheng Yuanhao heard Ji Yan's answer, his excited face immediately fell, revealing a disappointed expression. He tightly grasped the corner of Ji Yan's clothes, as if trying to keep her.

Seeing this, Ji Yan squatted down and gently stroked Zheng Yuanhao's head: "Yuanhao, don't be sad. We live very close, you can come to play with me anytime!"

Hearing Ji Yan's words, Zheng Yuanhao immediately smiled happily. He hugged Ji Yan tightly, as if he wanted to keep this joy in his heart forever: "Okay, Aunt Yanyan! I will definitely come to play with you!"

Zheng Haoqian looked at this scene. Although he felt reluctant, he also understood Ji Yan's decision.

He stood up, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Yanyan, since you have decided to go back, I will give you a ride."

So, Zheng Haoqian and Zheng Yuanhao escorted Ji Yan back to Fang's house. Along the way, they talked about past memories and future plans.

As Ji Yan listened to Zheng Haoqian's plans for the future, she couldn't help but feel more respect and affection for him.

Finally, Ji Yan arrived at the gate of the Fang family. She stopped and turned to say goodbye to the two of them: "Thank you for your company today, I am very happy. Yuanhao, see you next time!"

Zheng Haoqian smiled and nodded: "Yanyan, come to our house often in the future. We will always be waiting for you."

Zheng Yuanhao also hugged Ji Yan's legs tightly, and said reluctantly: "Aunt Yanyan, goodbye! You must come to play with me!"

Ji Yan smiled and nodded, then touched Zheng Yuanhao's head: "Don't worry, I will definitely come to find you."

After saying that, Ji Yan walked into the front door of the Fang family. Zheng Haoqian and Zheng Yuanhao stood outside the door, watching her figure gradually go away. Only when her figure completely disappeared inside the door did they turn around and go home.

On the way home, Zheng Haoqian had a new plan in mind. He planned to give Ji Yan a surprise to let her feel his love. But it was not clear whether this surprise was a surprise or a shock.
