She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 166 The Wonders of Bloodline
Liu Jingyi looked at Ling'er in her arms with heartache and said softly,

"Ling'er, be good. When Mommy wakes up and sees you waiting for me like this, Mommy's heart will ache."

He kissed the little one in his arms and spoke in a consultative tone.

"Next time you're waiting for Mom, remember to knock on the door, okay?"

Leng Ling looked at her mother, thought for a moment, and although she knew she would definitely do it again next time, she still obediently said,

"Okay, Mom."

Liu Jingyi knew that Ling'er would obediently listen to whatever she said, and the same was true for Sheng'er.

She looked at the person in her arms and asked,
"What about brother?"

"Mom, my brother is studying in the study. He said we'll eat together when you wake up."

"Why don't you eat first? What if Mom stays up very late? Don't wait for Mom next time, what if you get hungry?"

"it is good."

Leng Ling answered obediently, then asked another question.
"Mom, will you go see that boy from yesterday today?"

Liu Jingyi's arms, which were holding Ling'er's, stiffened. She clearly hadn't expected that Ling'er had been waiting for her at the door all morning just to ask about this.

She was at a loss.

All three children were her children, but compared to Ling'er and Sheng'er, that child was much more pitiful.

Strictly speaking, they are siblings, or brothers.

But judging from their behavior yesterday, it was clear that neither of them liked the other.

Liu Jingyi looked at Ling'er, not wanting to deceive her, and said softly,
"um, yes."

Leng Ling wrapped her arms around Liu Jingyi's neck and said coquettishly,

"Mom, I want to go too, is that okay?"

Liu Jingyi pursed her lips.
"Ling'er, do you like that brother from yesterday?"

Looking at her mother's face, Leng Ling didn't want to lie, so she shook her head. "I don't particularly like him, but he looks a lot like my brother and father, and he also looks a lot like me."

"I think I like him, but I also think I don't."

The answer was expected, yet it also seemed unexpected.

However, there is one thing that cannot be explained: blood ties are truly a mysterious thing.

Seeing that her mother was silent, Leng Ling was afraid that her mother would refuse to take her.
"Mom, Ling'er is a good girl. I will be very obedient and won't bother you. Ling'er just wants to stay with you."

After a moment of silence, Liu Jingyi finally relented.
"Okay, after we finish eating, Mom will take you, okay?"

Leng Ling nodded happily.

“Ling’er, that brother is also pitiful. He doesn’t have a mother’s love, but you and your brother have a mother’s love.”

Liu Jingyi didn't know how to maintain peace between them, but she knew she couldn't show favoritism.

Around noon, Liu Jingyi hurriedly arrived at the house she had rented for him the day before.

On her way here, Liu Jingyi also bought large meat buns, worried that he hadn't eaten.

Although she gave him the money, she didn't have a ticket, and she hadn't thought about it yesterday, so she didn't know if he had eaten.

Leng Yuchen was quite well-behaved; he didn't go anywhere and waited patiently inside, leaving the door open and quietly staring at the entrance.

My eyes lit up the moment I saw her.

It was as if they had finally waited for it.

Liu Jingyi, feeling stared at like that, didn't know what to say. As she approached, she closed the courtyard gate and asked,
Have you eaten yet?

Leng Yuchen shook his head. "No."

After saying that, as if afraid she would worry, he added, "I'm not hungry."

There's no need to expose such an obvious lie.

He hasn't eaten anything since last night, how could he not be hungry? Especially since he's still growing.
Liu Jingyi wasn't stupid; she knew he just didn't want her to worry.

Liu Jingyi handed him a bun wrapped in oil paper: "Eat some first, to fill your stomach."

Leng Yuchen took the steamed bun, looked at her, his eyes crinkling, and finally smiled from the bottom of his heart, no longer the habitual pretense, "Thank you, sister."

Although Leng Yuchen still wanted to call her "Mom," right now...
You can call me "older sister" too.

You can call her Mother.

You can call it whatever you want.

This was the first time Leng Yuchen realized that he was such an easily satisfied person.

A mother's care, it turns out, is not such a rare luxury in this world.

He obtained it with remarkable ease.

After all, she had only pretended to cry, acting pitifully, and hadn't received a single bit of care from her mother.

He doesn't have to do anything to get her attention.

Leng Yuchen slowly ate the bun, bite by bite.

He ate very elegantly, and after he finished, he met the gaze of another person.

The delicate, beautiful, and adorable girl was holding her mother's hand, staring intently at him with a blank expression.

Actually, to be honest, I don't think I particularly dislike her.

Well, to be honest, I'm mostly envious!

He envied her for being able to receive her mother's love and her father's love.

She has lived a life of luxury since childhood, while what about me!

At that time, in his mother's eyes, he was like a nightmare.

Just because of his appearance, just because of his arrival, Meng Yunfan abandoned his mother again.

This ultimately led to the mother's tragic life.

Leng Yuchen deliberately bent down and pinched Ling'er's little face.

Ling'er turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

Leng Yuchen smiled and then looked at his mother casually, "I'm full, Mom."

He refuses to call me "sister" again.

He pronounced the word "Mom" clearly, as if he were deliberately saying it to someone else.

It seemed to carry a hint of malice, and a touch of mischievous revenge.

He did it on purpose; he tried very hard to be the good child in his mother's eyes, but—

But perhaps his nature is just so wicked; a little jealousy can change him beyond recognition, making him even more vicious.

Plundering was his instinct; it was in his nature to snatch from another, another, his competitor.

He couldn't tolerate even the slightest bit of it.

He only wanted her to be his mother.

If he could, he wouldn't even want the two of them to be there.

But no, Mom will be sad, she'll cry, and she might even be unable to go on living.

Liu Jingyi didn't know how to stop him from doing this. She had already talked to him yesterday, telling him not to say strange things.
He smiled obediently and said okay.

But today they used the same trick again!
Leng Ling, not to be outdone, pouted her adorable little face and cried out, "Mommy, hug me!"

Leng Yuchen's icy gaze followed her voice, and when he saw Leng Ling being held in her mother's arms, his already cold eyes seemed to be filled with even more ferocity.

But when Liu Jingyi turned around to look at him, his expression became perfectly normal again, smiling and obediently cooperating.
