Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Xiaobai Gets Left Out Again (Part 2)

Mama would fall asleep while reading a storybook, so Daddy would read to him every time.

Holding the little guy, Li Mochan lay down next to Ye Jiuliang and picked up a storybook. In a childish voice, Xiaobai asked, "Daddy, when are we going to find Ayue little brother again?"

Li Mochan raised an eyebrow, "Didn’t you say he always cries? You still want to go to him?"

Xiaobai furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and corrected, "He only cries sometimes, Uncle Chu is bad, he always bullies Ayue little brother."

Upon hearing this, Li Mochan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Chu Chen was so sure that Gu Xinuo would have a little girl only to end up with a little rival in love; serves him right for showing off earlier.

Chu Yue, that little one, liked to stick to Gu Xinuo, always making Chu Chen so angry he would jump.

"Daddy, when are we going?" Not getting an answer, the little guy pressed on.

Li Mochan said, "In a few days."

"How many days?"

"Two weeks from now." Knowing that the little guy wouldn’t let go without a definite answer, Li Mochan said.

Xiaobai nodded and quietly nestled in his arms.

Li Mochan glanced down at him, opened the storybook, and began to read to him, his deep and smooth voice began, "Once upon a time, there was a little fox..."

Beside him, Ye Jiuliang was sound asleep, habitually snuggling into Li Mochan’s embrace.

Li Mochan smirked, one arm around her, the other holding the storybook. For a moment, he didn’t know who the bedtime story was for.

Thrown aside, Xiaobai blinked—wasn’t Daddy going to read him a storybook?

...

After nonstop work, suddenly easing up, Ji Mingqian was still a bit unaccustomed.

After breakfast, he lounged on the sofa browsing videos stubbornly without moving.

Just then, Xiaobai came trotting over excitedly with little short legs, "Uncle Ji, peel an orange for me."

Ji Mingqian put down the tablet, raised his eyes to see Xiaobai’s delicate little face, and reached out to take the orange from him, "Xiaobai, your daddy is so annoying, right? Left you here all alone while he took your mama out to play."

"No." Xiaobai shook his head, frowned at him, and said fiercely in a childish manner, "My daddy is the best, don’t speak ill of my daddy."

Ji Mingqian was left speechless, this little one was clearly a daddy’s boy.

"Daddy said you are so pitiful all alone at home, so he let Xiaobai stay to keep you company. Daddy didn’t abandon Xiaobai at home alone."

"..."

He was pitiful alone at home?

Is this how Li Mochan educates his son?

Ji Mingqian was simply stunned.

He pursed his lips tightly, a light bulb went off in his head as he suddenly thought of something.

He reached over to pull Xiaobai into his lap, "Xiaobai, Uncle Ji has something to discuss with you, okay?"

Xiaobai pouted, "What is it?"

"Like this, you call your little uncle and say you miss him."

"Call little uncle?" Xiaobai tilted his head, looking puzzled.

Ji Mingqian nodded, "Later, Uncle Ji will tell you what to say, just say what Uncle Ji tells you."

As he spoke, he grabbed the nearby landline and unhesitatingly pressed a series of numbers.

He pressed the speaker button.

"Beep beep beep..."

The call was quickly connected, and a gentle voice came through the phone.

"Who is this?"

Even after listening to countless concerts, he still felt this voice on the phone was long-missed.

Hearing Jiang Yisheng’s voice, Xiaobai picked up the phone, happily shouting, "Little Uncle."

"Xiaobai." On the other side, Jiang Yisheng couldn’t hide his delight upon hearing Xiaobai’s voice.

Forgetting Ji Mingqian was there, Xiaobai chatted enthusiastically, "Little Uncle, I miss you. When will you come?"

"How much do you miss me?" The little guy’s soft and cute voice made Jiang Yisheng smile nonstop.

Ji Mingqian frowned slightly, why didn’t he see such a good attitude towards him before?

"Missed you a lot." Xiaobai sweetly replied, "Little Uncle, when you come, Xiaobai will buy you something yummy."

The little guy’s sweetness was unbeatable by anyone at home.

Jiang Yisheng chuckled softly, "So nice of you."

Really such an adorable little one, it was worth spoiling him.

Ji Mingqian covered the phone, whispered a few words in Xiaobai’s ear.

Xiaobai nodded as if he understood somewhat, his voice soft, "Little Uncle, I saw Uncle Ji yesterday."

"Oh, you saw Uncle Ji." Jiang Yisheng’s smile faded a bit.

"Did Uncle Ji buy you anything delicious?"

"Uncle Ji took me for a meal and bought me ice cream."

Beside him, Ji Mingqian showed a satisfied smile.

Thankfully, the toys and snacks from yesterday didn’t go to waste; this kid was teachable.

Jiang Yisheng’s voice came through the phone again, "Then seeing Xiaobai, Uncle Ji must have been very happy?"

Xiaobai hummed, his little eyes darted to Ji Mingqian, Ji Mingqian quickly shook his head at him.

"Not happy." Xiaobai grinned, perfectly catching Ji Mingqian’s meaning.

Jiang Yisheng frowned, the situation was baffling, "Why wasn’t he happy?"

Ji Mingqian leaned closer to Xiaobai’s ear again, muttering softly.

Afraid Jiang Yisheng would hear, he deliberately lowered his voice.

Following his words, Xiaobai recited, "Um... Uncle Ji said someone stole his stuff."

"Huh?" Jiang Yisheng was even more confused, "What did they steal?"

Could someone have stolen the second treasure?

"A necklace, Uncle Ji said his necklace was stolen." Xiaobai said.

Necklace?

Jiang Yisheng’s expression froze, after a long pause he barely regained his voice, "Xiaobai, is Uncle Ji staying at your home?"

Ji Mingqian silently cursed, pulling Xiaobai’s hand and quickly shook his head.

"No." Xiaobai cooperated.

Jiang Yisheng was skeptical, "Then who helped Xiaobai make the call?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Jiujiu." Xiaobai reacted quickly, remembering Ji Mingqian’s instructions, and almost blurted out.

Jiang Yisheng still felt something wasn’t right, keeping one eye open, "Then pass the phone to Mama, Little Uncle has something to say to her."

Following Ji Mingqian’s words, Xiaobai said, "Mama went to the bathroom, Little Uncle, I’m going to eat an orange now, bye-bye."

After Xiaobai finished speaking, Ji Mingqian reached over to take the phone and hurriedly hung up.

Putting down the phone, Ji Mingqian reached out to pat Xiaobai’s head, "So clever, let’s go, Uncle will take you out to buy something tasty."

"Then I want to go to the amusement park." Xiaobai hugged his neck, smiling sweetly.

Ji Mingqian generously said, "Sure, let’s go to the amusement park."

At this moment, on the other end, having been hung up on, Jiang Yisheng still felt suspicious.

Jiuliang almost never called him from the landline, it was usually from a cellphone, could this call be...

"Knock knock knock——"

A knocking sound abruptly interrupted his thoughts.

"Asheng, it’s me."

Across the door, Jiang Hai’s voice came through, Jiang Yisheng got up to open the door.

"Dad, come in and sit."

Seeing him holding a phone, Jiang Hai casually asked, "Busy?"

"No, just had a call with Xiaobai." Jiang Yisheng chuckled lightly.
