The brothers went out of the study together. Zhang Jing looked at his younger brother’s sorry state and said helplessly, “Go change your clothes first.”

Zhang Ji nodded and left without saying anything.

Zhang Jing stood on the spot and watched him walk into his room.

He knew his younger brother’s temper very well. If he really wanted to reject Zhang Li firmly, it would be useless no matter how Zhang Li begged.

At the end of the day, his heart softened.

He didn’t tell his father or himself about this at all, which meant that he had made plans from the beginning.

He knew that his father would definitely not agree, so he did not say anything and directly acted first before reporting.

At this time, Zhang Chu had also fallen asleep.

Yu He was reading in her room. When she heard the commotion, she looked up and saw Zhang Ji in a sorry state. She was first shocked, but she quickly understood why.

She smiled helplessly. “You really deserve this.”

When he returned to Yu He, Zhang Ji’s expression was no longer the same as before.

He sighed slightly and said, “This is probably the only thing I can do for her.”

Yu He shook her head and did not speak. She only opened the closet and found a clean set of clothes for him to change into.

In the other room, Jing Yao told Liang Xun about this as soon as she returned to her room.

Liang Xun’s expression darkened when he heard that. He had been wary of the Zhang Family from the beginning because he was worried that such a situation would happen.

Daughter and granddaughter, sister and niece.

It was really hard to say which side the scale would lean towards. He tested the Zhang Family a few times before putting down his guard.

From the looks of it, he had been overly carefree.

“I shouldn’t have brought you here,” Liang Xun said, suppressing his anger.

Jing Yao smiled and said indifferently, “It’s not as exaggerated as you think. I’m just meeting Zhang Li. She’s not a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

The anger in Liang Xun’s heart did not dissipate.

Jing Yao comforted him. “She’s not important to me now. Someone I don’t care about can’t hurt me.”

Liang Xun stared into her eyes.

Jing Yao looked back sincerely.

Her gaze seemed to be trying her best to show that she really did not care at all.

Liang Xun could no longer hold it in and chuckled.

Jing Yao couldn’t help but laugh.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They stared into each other’s eyes and got closer and closer. At this moment, the atmosphere naturally became intimate.

“Ahhh…”

An anxious voice sounded in the originally silent room. Jing Yao suddenly pushed Liang Xun away.

Caught off guard, Liang Xun took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. Finally, he placed his hand on the makeup table to stabilize himself.

Little Dumpling was originally angry because his parents had forgotten about him. Seeing that his father almost fell, he clapped his hands and laughed happily.

Clearly, he liked to see his father make a fool of himself.

Liang Xun’s face was ashen as he stared at Liang Jing.

If Liang Jing was a few years older, he probably wouldn’t have been able to escape today’s beating.

However, he was too little now and Liang Xun could not do anything to him. He did not feel that there was anything wrong at all.

He ignored Liang Xun’s cold gaze. After laughing enough, he stretched out his arm and called for his mother, asking Jing Yao to carry him.

When he was at home, he would sleep in his nursery. There would be an auntie guarding him in the room.

However, it was impossible for Liang Xun and the others to bring the auntie with them when they came to Lin City. Zhang Hui and the others had also looked for a helper in Lin City, but Jing Yao was worried that Liang Jing would cry with unfamiliar people, so she decided to let Liang Jing stay in their room for the next few days.

Neither of them realized Little Dumpling’s existence just now.

Little Dumpling and Zhang Chu hit it off especially well. There was a 10-year difference between the two of them, and Zhang Chu was already at the age of slowly becoming sensible. Now was the time for him to be active and playful, and he could not calm down.

At this time, little boys liked to play with their peers. They would be impatient if their playmates were much younger than them.

However, Zhang Chu wasn’t impatient at all. Little Dumpling clearly didn’t know anything and couldn’t even speak, but he could play with Little Dumpling for a few hours and do his best to make Little Dumpling happy.

Jing Yao thought of Zhang Chu and sighed inexplicably. “Little Chu is so sensible. I hope Little Dumpling will be as sensible as Little Chu in the future.”

Liang Xun snorted. “Don’t even think about that. This kid will definitely be a devil incarnate in the future. When he goes to school, we will inevitably be called to school by the teacher every few days.”

Jing Yao looked at her son, who was still chuckling in her arms, and felt that Liang Xun was right.

“If we’re really called to the school in the future, you should go,” Jing Yao said seriously.

Seeing that she was really serious, Liang Xun continued in amusement, “Why should 1 go?”

Jing Yao said, “I’m a public figure after all. 1 can’t afford to lose face.”

“…” Liang Xun..
