Chapter 44 Hidden Jealousy

As the sun sets, a few people chat idly in the courtyard.

Wen Yanyu lazily nestled in the recliner, his mind inexplicably hazy. He subconsciously snatched the chocolate ball from the woman's hand, but when he realized what was happening, his body stiffened, and he froze on the spot.

Jiang Wanrou stroked the boy's fluffy hair, her eyes full of tenderness. "Good boy, Auntie has some more. Auntie will get you more after you finish eating."

It felt quite nice to have my head touched.

Wen Yanyu squinted, and in his drowsy state, tilted his head back and rubbed against the woman's palm, "Thank you, Auntie."

Jiang Wanrou was instantly charmed by his adorable appearance, and couldn't help but smile, peeling two more candies for him.

Wen Yanyu obediently took the candy ball.

Jiang Wanrou: (ˉˉ) Oh~~~

This is definitely my child.

Jiang Keyan quietly grabbed a chair and went around to join the army of people touching the rabbit heads.

Wen Yanyu's hair is soft, and it had just been washed and dried, so it felt very fluffy to the touch.

As if they had discovered a new continent, Jiang Wanrou and Jiang Keyan exchanged a glance and then started feeding and petting each other, having a great time.

Lu Mingxu handed a piece of candy to Sang Yu beside him, then suddenly noticed a large box of empty chocolate liqueurs, and then looked at Wen Yanyu, whose gaze was wandering.

A moment of silence.

"Stop feeding them, little fish... are they a bit drunk?"

Because they were quite far apart, Lu Mingxu deliberately raised his voice.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanrou noticed that the chocolate-covered liquors on the bench had all been eaten.

His gaze drifted to one side.

Wen Yanyu's face flushed red. She stupidly burrowed into her coat, hugging the peach and smelling it here and there. When she saw her looking over, she gave her a faint smile.

Jiang Wanrou: "..." Ahhhhhhh!!!

Jiang Wanrou quickly moved the freshly unwrapped chocolate-covered liquor aside.

Several people's eyes swept over at the same time.

Wen Yanyu nestled obediently in the recliner, her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed, and her fair face was tinged with a faint blush from the alcohol, adding a touch of allure.

They silently accepted the situation.

Duan Mufeng's gaze was intense, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he leaned over to touch her as well.

Under Jiang Wanrou's piercing gaze, Duan Mufeng chuckled and said, "Yan Yu, how about your brother tells you a story?"

I'm not a big drinker to begin with, and right now my head is spinning.

Wen Yanyu nodded perfunctorily, lay on the chair and let Duan Mufeng and Jiang Keyan pat her head, happily munching on a large, crisp peach.

[Warm Bunny! How dare you abuse your cuteness! How much longer must humanity be ruled by these adorable bunnies?!]

Oh right, he just washed his hair; the improved blood circulation combined with the chocolate liqueur made him drunk.

[Wen Yanyu is so quiet after getting drunk, haha, so well-behaved.]

[Ugh, does anyone else think Wen Yanyu's hair color has faded? It looks grayish now. I thought it was just from the sunlight, but now it's really obvious, it's grayish.]

[Could it have drifted by?]

[Ahhh, I want to touch the baby's head too! It feels so fluffy! I want to steal the baby away from Aunt Jiang, how can a drunk baby be so well-behaved and cute, waaaaah!]

[Aunt Jiang glared at him, feeling that ever since Wen Yanyu called her "Mom" yesterday, Aunt Jiang had become fiercely protective of her. Today, she was feeding Wen Yanyu like crazy, practically making her drunk, hahaha, and even casually touching her.]

[It's probably more about feeling sorry for her. I feel like the way Aunt Jiang looks at Rabbit... tsk, it makes me feel a little sour.]

Jiang Keyan and Duan Mufeng each took a spot, while Wen Yanyu's freshly washed hair was ruffled and messed up by the two of them, but she didn't seem to react to it.

They even kindly broke off a small piece of chocolate for each of them.

Duan Mufeng kneaded even more enthusiastically.

Lu Mingxu stared at Wen Yanyu, whose hair had been ruffled by Duan Mufeng but who didn't resist. His breathing became slightly heavier, his jawline tightened, and an inexplicable anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

Duan Mufeng promised himself he wouldn't harm Wen Yanyu, and the two would only be friends. They were just friends, and Xiaoyu was more than just your friend, so don't overthink it.

I was just about to force myself to look away.

Duan Mufeng smiled ambiguously and suddenly leaned close to the person in the chair. The two were very close to each other, as if they were whispering in each other's ears.

The boy nodded obediently after hearing what was said, broke the remaining half of the peach in his hand in half, and handed the unbitten half to the man.

Duan Mufeng smiled with pleasure, picked up a peach, took a bite, propped one arm on the edge of his chair, and lazily rested his head on his arm.

Jiang Keyan leaned against the back of Wen Yanyu's chair above her head, while Duan Mufeng leaned back against his own chair. The three of them were very close and all laughing, making it look like they were having a conversation while "sharing a pillow".

They were quite far apart, and soothing music was playing from the speakers in the courtyard. The three of them were also speaking softly, so it was impossible to hear what they were saying.

But the burning gazes of the two men, the dreamy, smiling eyes of the person being watched, and the enchanting atmosphere only fueled the nameless fire in my heart.

Jiang Wanrou took a bite of the crisp peach, listening to Duan Mufeng tell an obscure fairy tale he had heard from somewhere, skillfully coaxing a slightly drunk little rabbit, and a childlike and curious girl.

When the story reached an exciting point, Duan Mufeng stopped talking, and Wen Yanyu immediately leaned in eagerly, "And then! And then! Did the little rabbit escape?"

"Guess?" Duan Mufeng smiled mischievously.

Jiang Keyan's eyes twitched, and she wanted nothing more than to slap him. "Speak up!"

"Let me touch your head a few more times, and I'll tell you." Duan Mufeng's lips curled up, and he met Wen Yanyu's bewildered gaze with a sly smile.

[Haha, the three big babies are so cute! How did Duan Mufeng become a storyteller?]

[You must have caught Wen Yanyu's influence, hahaha.]

[Ah, how heartwarming! My body is so warm, and the three babies are huddled together listening to a story, with Mama Jiang watching lovingly from the side.]

The young couple listened to music on one side, while their three babies listened to stories on the other. How lovely!

[My little bunny is so happy, hehe. Mommy felt so warm and fuzzy watching it, hehe. I just love heartwarming family dramas, hehe. My little bunny, hehe.]

[Hehe, this makes my heart melt. I've decided to forgive everyone for ten minutes.]

[If I could bring Wen Tutu home to raise in my lifetime, I'd rather live in a villa, drive luxury cars, and win ten million in the lottery—only then could I properly raise my baby.]

[What a great deal—eating and taking things away! But I'm in for a good laugh!]

I can't hear the sound clearly.

Seeing Wen Yanyu bring her head close to the man's face, as if she were about to kiss him.

On the other side, Jiang Keyan bent down to take the chocolate from Wen Yanyu's arms, the three of them in an extremely ambiguous posture.

An inexplicable surge of emotion erupted like a flash flood, causing my heart to tighten.

A sharp pain shot through his palm. Lu Mingxu's eyes darkened, and he suddenly stood up, drawing everyone's attention.

Lu Mingxu smiled and said gently, "It's getting late, let's go and rest."

Wen Yanyu paused in his movements.

Duan Mufeng glanced at him sideways and chuckled, "If you're sleepy, go inside and sleep. We still need to play with Yan Yu."
