As soon as he was put on the bed, he immediately ran to his brother.
"Dad, who is he?"
"This is my brother."
Niuniu tilted her head and asked, "The little brother in mom's belly?"
"Yes, it's my brother."
Niu Niu opened her eyes wide, held on to her father's arm, and looked at her brother curiously.
Ji Ling also kept looking at her son.
"Want a hug?"
"You can hold me." Ji Ling said, "I haven't washed my hands yet."
Seeing his wife's cautious look, wanting to hug him but not daring to, Zhu Weidong smiled and handed his son over.
"Give me a hug."
Only then did Ji Ling slowly take her son over.
Maybe it was because of premature birth. Even though his complexion was good, her son was still smaller than other children of the same month. Ji Ling's eyes gradually turned red.
"After I brought him back, any other child would have been scared and cried, but our son was very well behaved. He just stared at me and smiled at me. He must have known that we are his real parents."
Ji Ling said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe he was born too young and prematurely, so he can't be like other children."
"You're right, it's possible to be face-blind like me."
"Why don't you say something nice about the child?" Ji Ling looked up and glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Zhu Weidong saw that his wife had finally cheered up and smiled, "Okay, I was wrong."
Ji Ling turned her head away and said, "Niuniu and I haven't eaten yet, let's get something to eat."
"Wei Ming went to buy it."
After hearing this, Ji Ling looked up and found that there were only four of them in the room.
"By the way, why did you suddenly think of snatching the child?"
"If they dare to steal, why can't we snatch it back?" Zhu Weidong was happy to see his wife staring at him.
Under the gaze of his wife, he told her why he snatched the child and what kind of reactions Chen Jingming and Zhong Jiwen would have.
"You're doing a good thing. Maybe Chen Jingming will tell us the child's background as you said." Ji Ling lowered her head and looked at her son. "I want to go back to the capital now."
"Okay, I'll let Qian Xiangqian arrange it." Zhu Weidong agreed immediately.
"Mom, shall we go home with my brother?"
"Yes, take your brother home." Ji Ling freed one hand and stroked her daughter's head, "You will take care of your brother in the future, okay?"
"Okay, I'll protect my brother."
Ji Ling smiled and hugged her daughter into her arms.
Zhu Weidong stretched out his hand, wanting to hug his wife, but finally let it go. "Let Wei Ming go back with you. I'll deal with Zhong Jiwen and Chen Jingming here."
"Before I go back, I want to see Cao Yehong. Is she here?"
Zhu Weidong was not surprised. "The train is tomorrow night. I'll arrange for you to meet her during the day. Is that tight?"
"It's not urgent, let's do it tomorrow morning." Ji Ling glanced at him, "Isn't Cao Yehong in Bei County? It's late today, will she be in a hurry to come tomorrow?"
"I'll ask someone to arrange it." Zhu Weidong smiled. "I didn't contact her after I came back, and Wei Ming and I didn't contact anyone we knew. You know we've been doing it in secret, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten our son back so easily."
"I'm not asking that because I'm jealous. You're overthinking it."
Ji Ling pursed her lips.
The man obviously didn't believe it.
Forget it. Now that I’ve seen him take the child back, I won’t bother with her anymore.
When Zhu Weidong saw that his wife no longer rejected him, even though he could not remember their past, he felt very happy at that moment.
Seeing her son, Ji Ling felt relieved, and even felt that this was a dream. Seeing that his wife's eyes and heart were full of their son, Zhu Weidong winked at his daughter and hugged her to coax her.
When Zhu Weiming came back, he was carrying the food he had packed from outside.
"No one is following you, right?" Zhu Weidong asked worriedly.
"Others went to buy it, and I took it over halfway. I didn't let them follow." Zhu Weiming picked up his niece and fed her the food himself.
Before the two brothers came over, Zhu's father had already asked someone to greet them, but for the sake of secrecy, neither of them showed their faces, and when they came into contact with each other, both of them covered their faces.
After Zhu Weidong handed his daughter to his younger brother, he went to the inner room to call his wife for dinner.
The son in Ji Ling's arms had woken up, and his big black and white eyes looked at her, full of curiosity.
Ji Ling's heart was melted by the look of her son. When she saw Zhu Weidong coming, she called him happily.
"He's awake, he's awake."
Zhu Weidong leaned over and said, "Well, he is so cute."
"Yes, he looks so clean." Ji Ling tapped her son's nose, "Do you know your mother?"
The little guy whose nose was touched by Ji Ling opened his mouth wide and looked around.
Ji Ling smiled, "I'm hungry."
"I'll go make the milk powder." Zhu Weidong nodded and offered to help.
The couple were feeding their son in the house. After Zhu Weiming fed his niece, he coaxed her to sleep and saw the two men still surrounding their son.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you two should not favor boys over girls."
"Are we that kind of people?" Zhu Weidong turned around and looked at his brother. "Take Niuniu to sleep first. Your nephew just woke up. He has slept for so long. I'm afraid he will have to sleep late tonight."
"I got it." Zhu Weiming hadn't seen such a good atmosphere at home for a long time, and he was in a good mood.
Zhu Weidong sent his brother away and turned to his wife and said, "I'll hold our son. You eat first."
"You haven't eaten either, let's eat together."
Zhu Weidong's eyes curved, "Okay, let's eat together."
The two went to the living room. Ji Ling held her son in her arms. Her son was very well behaved in her arms, but after seeing the two eating, he became greedy and kept moving around.
Because of their son's little behavior, the couple laughed out loud from time to time, and the laughter never stopped from the beginning to the end of the meal.
Zhu Weiming looked at his niece who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and called home to tell them everything they had done here.
When Zhu's father heard that his son and his friends were trying to snatch a child, he didn't think the matter was that simple.
"Don't come back yet, let alone leave the house. I guess the Chen family will call the police."
"As long as you are holding a baby in your arms, you will be suspected. You are already conspicuous. The Chen family will definitely keep a close eye on Ji Ling."
His father's reminder also made Zhu Weiming regain his sanity, "Dad, I understand."
"Let's drive back." Zhu's father said, "I'll arrange for someone to take you back. You'll have to change cars along the way and can't go into the city, otherwise it will cause a mess. And after we bring the child back, how are we going to explain it to others? The best way to deal with it is to wait there for Chen Jingming to reveal the child's background himself."
"My eldest brother and I also have the same idea, but we are afraid that once we show up, the Chen family will know that we stole the child, so we want my sister-in-law and the children to go back first." (End of this chapter)
