Sang Zhi realized that she was comparing him to Ye Jingchi, which she found strange. If he wasn't Ye Jingchi, then they were completely different people.
Li Ying didn't blame Jing Chi. He had just kindly helped her out, and she wasn't the type to turn her back on him after he had served his purpose.
"Thank you so much, Young Master Jing, for getting me out of that predicament."
"Really? Then can I talk to you about something?" Jing Chi hurriedly said his thoughts: "I want to take Chenchen out to play, not far, just nearby."
Li Ying hesitated.
Sang Zhi had already mentioned Li Ying's agreement: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Jing. Chenchen is in the backyard, you can go there by yourself."
"Okay, you guys get back to work."
Jing Chi practically skipped out of the clinic, overjoyed.
Li Ying didn't say anything, and sat down to begin examining the patient.
By the river, Jing Chi caught several small fish, built a small wall out of mud, added water, and let the fish swim around in the homemade pond.
Chenchen was overjoyed, holding the fish food in her little hands and carefully feeding the small fish.
"Chenchen, do you miss your dad?" Jing Chi squatted down next to Chenchen and asked patiently.
"Yes, I want to, but Mom said Dad went to a very, very far place and won't be coming back."
“What if there’s a new dad?” Jing Chi asked another question.
Chenchen raised her little head, her bright eyes sparkling, which made Jing Chi feel guilty.
"Mom said that my dad can only be Ye Jingchi, and no one can replace him."
!
Jing Chi looked slightly disappointed. He sat down next to Chenchen, his hands resting on his knees. "Chenchen, is that what you think too?"
"Yes, Uncle Jing, doesn't a person only have one father and one mother?"
Jing Chi rubbed Chenchen's little head: "But Chenchen is different. Chenchen's father is not coming back. Wouldn't it be good if there was a man like your father to protect you from the wind and rain?"
Chenchen looked at Jing Chi and asked, "Uncle Jing, do you want to be my dad?"
Jing Chi gave an awkward smile: "Do you think that's okay?"
"Why?" Chenchen asked, tilting her head.
Jing Chi was stumped by the question.
Why? Do we even need to ask why?
"Uncle Jing, why do you want to be my dad?"
Jing Chi rubbed his forehead: "Love me, love my dog!"
Chenchen pursed her lips: "Uncle Jing, tell me, do you like my mom?"
Jing Chi's mind drifted back to the few times he had spent with Li Ying, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart. He nodded emphatically.
"You've only met my mother a few times and you're already saying you like her? Men's love comes so quickly?"
Jing Chi was rendered somewhat incoherent by the little guy.
"Liking is liking, what is love? It comes quickly, it's a feeling, do you understand?"
Chenchen shook her head: "I'm too young, I don't understand."
Jing Chi sighed helplessly. This kid was still young; everything he said was unintentional.
"Then tell your uncle, besides your uncle, is there anyone else who wants to be your father?"
Chenchen thought for a moment and started counting on her fingers.
"Two Uncle Jings, and Uncle Leng, so many!"
Jing Chi was exasperated. The little guy's math skills weren't good enough. It seemed he would have to take charge of the child's studies.
Aunt Jing saw them playing on the beach.
From afar, Aunt Jing sighed, "This is the first time I've been this happy since he came back."
Jing Chi was naturally happy. He specifically told Li Ying about his idea: he wanted to teach Chenchen at the clinic in the future, and Li Ying agreed.
He entered the living room humming a song.
"Mom, I'm home!"
Aunt Jing put down her teacup and said in a calm voice, "Chi'er, didn't you want to manage the Jing family's businesses? I've made up my mind. I want to set up a head office, and you can be in charge of all the business operations. What do you think?"
Jing Chi sat on the sofa and shook his head: "Not very good. Leng Yan is managing things quite well now, so let him manage them. I don't want to get involved."
Are you still angry?
"No, you said I'm only responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun, as long as I'm happy."
Aunt Jing was amused by her son's antics.
She only wanted her son to eat, drink, and have fun, so he could live a happy life in his later years. That's why she wanted Leng Yan to manage more of the business. But Jing Chi, who seemed carefree, actually wanted to have a comprehensive view and manage everything.
“My son, all these years, I haven’t been by your side to take care of you or serve you. I always feel guilty towards you. I just want you to have money to spend and time to enjoy yourself. Since that’s what you want, then I’d like to give you the greatest power and not let anyone surpass you.”
Set up a headquarters, give him the location of the headquarters, and he will be in charge of all the Jing family's businesses.
Jing Chi turned the watch on his wrist, lost in thought.
"Let me think about it."
"Aunt." Leng Yan walked proudly into the living room and greeted her respectfully.
Jing Chi glanced at Leng Yan and rolled her eyes in disapproval.
"How's the matter at the machinery factory?" Aunt Jing pressed for an answer.
“The Lu family is unwilling to let go, so we may need to increase our funding,” Leng Yan replied.
"It's impossible to raise the funding, Leng Yan. I believe you have a way to handle this!" Aunt Jing put pressure on Leng Yan.
"Understood, I'll figure something out!"
"Go ahead, and remember to get some rest."
Leng Yan nodded slightly and strode out of the Jing family home.
He walked to the car, stopped, took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
"Master Leng, does Aunt Jing disagree with your suggestion?" Seeing Master Leng's worried expression, Ah Hu knew that Leng Yan's suggestion had not been adopted.
"She wants me to take over the biggest factory with the least amount of money."
"Master Leng, what are you planning to do?"
Leng Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do as I say, and we'll definitely win over the machinery factory."
Leng Yan threw the cigarette on the ground, opened the car door and got in: "To Beicheng Yunting Hotel!"
That night, Chenchen climbed up to Li Ying, hugged her neck, and rubbed against her.
"What's wrong, son?"
"Mom, Uncle Jing asked me today if I wanted a new dad?"
Li Ying was speechless; Jing Chi was still as unreliable as ever.
"how do you say?"
Chenchen thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head: "Mom said that Chenchen's father can only be Ye Jingchi! No one else will do!"
Li Ying smiled and kissed Chenchen's forehead: "You're such a good son, that was a wonderful answer!"
"But Mom," Chenchen said hesitantly, her little face pouting, "if we have a new dad, won't Chenchen have one more person to love her?"
Li Ying paused upon hearing this, then raised her hand to rub Chenchen's head: "Mommy isn't a good mother. I neglected Chenchen's feelings and made Chenchen feel lonely. How about this, from now on, Mommy will be at the clinic in the morning and spend the afternoon with Chenchen, okay?"
Chenchen clapped her little hands: "Okay."
"Go to sleep."
After putting Chenchen to sleep, Li Ying couldn't fall asleep. She opened the drawer, took out the letters she had read countless times, and reading them again still stirred her emotions.
"Ye Jingchi, Chenchen's father can only be you, and will only be you!"
