Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 228 - We Don’t Welcome You

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 We Don’t Welcome You

However, within half a minute, Xie Changyan sauntered in from outside the door.

Ji Zeqiu’s eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, “How did you get in?!”

Ji Tingyang glared at the butler.

The butler was so frightened that he immediately broke out in a sweat and shook his head vigorously, “I didn’t open the door.”

He knew that Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu disliked Xie Changyan, so how could he dare to open the door on his own?

Xie Changyan’s eyebrows raised slightly, and his tone, replete with a smile, was utterly nonchalant, “Of course, I entered by typing in the password.”

...

Ji Zeqiu immediately looked resentfully toward Lin Xu, as if silently blaming her for actually telling Xie Changyan the family’s access codes.

Even Ji Tingyang thought so.

The home’s password had always been the one set by their father twenty years ago, which he had never changed, yet their mother had casually told Xie Changyan the password.

He felt somewhat disheartened for a moment.

Lin Xu blinked in confusion, however.

Had she told him the password before, she seemed unable to remember.

Ji Tingyang concealed the expression in his eyes and looked at Xie Changyan with a cold tone, “What are you doing here?”

“Of course, I’m here to take her out on a date,” Xie Changyan quipped with a slight raise of his eyebrows.

“No way!” Ji Zeqiu immediately objected.

Ji Tingyang sneered, “Go out for a date, and then get hit by a car again?”

At the mention of the car accident, a momentary flicker of complex emotion passed through Xie Changyan’s eyes.

Soon, his expression returned to normal, “Since none of you feel at ease, why don’t we just have the date here in the villa?”

Ji Zeqiu looked at him incredulously, as if shocked by his audacity.

None of them welcomed him, yet he acted as if it was perfectly fine to stay here.

“We don’t welcome you,” Ji Tingyang said coldly.

“We do welcome you, we do!” Ji Yuqiao pushed Ji Tingyang aside, stepped forward, and hooked her arm through Xie Changyan’s, “You didn’t finish visiting last time you were here, let me take you for a tour, shall I?”

Perhaps seeing something familiar might trigger his memory.

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, Ji Tingyang’s gaze swept over like a sharpened blade, “Last time? He has been here before?”

Ji Yuqiao’s voice suddenly choked, and her eyes drifted around guiltily, “What are you talking about, big brother? You must have heard wrong, I didn’t say that.”

“Ji Yuqiao,” Ji Tingyang enunciated her name with a chilling slowness, causing her to shiver with fear.

Ji Yuqiao trembled, hastily pulling Xie Changyan away, “Ah, a guest has come, let’s visit the cinema room.”

“I’m worried about Lanyue; I’ll go take a look as well,” Lin Xu chuckled dryly and followed after them.

Within the villa, there was a private cinema room that they occasionally used to watch movies in.

As Ji Yuqiao led Xie Changyan inside, she said, “The equipment inside is a bit old, though. The projector works on and off. Sometimes when we watch a movie, it keeps cutting out.”

She complained offhandedly.

These items were all purchased by their parents in the past, and big brother always couldn’t bear to throw them away.

Apart from some essential items that would be replaced with new ones, everything else was what their parents had used over twenty years ago.

“Does it start dropping frames after watching awhile?” Xie Changyan asked.

“Exactly.”

Xie Changyan walked over, glanced at the projector, and smiled knowingly.

“You’ve plugged these two wires in the wrong way, that’s why the frame was dropping,” he said, pointing to the two wires above and casually plugging them in correctly.

“Is it okay now?”

“Yeah,” Xie Changyan nodded, “These devices are all handcrafted overseas, they won’t have any issues even after a hundred years.”

A look of admiration instantly burst in Ji Yuqiao’s eyes. “You even understand this?”

Xie Changyan let out a light chuckle through his nose and reached out to ruffle her hair.

Lin Xu watched his clear eyes crinkle with a smile, her expression momentarily dazed.

“What’s the matter?” Xie Changyan noticed she kept looking at him.

“How do you know about this projector and that the wires were plugged in the wrong way?” Lin Xu asked.

“Did you remember something?” Ji Yuqiao interjected excitedly.

“Not much, just that we happen to have one at home too,” Xie Changyan said.

So that’s how it was?

Lin Xu fell silent, repressing the small surge of emotion that had just welled up in her heart.

“Mother, don’t worry, just take Father to look at it a few more times, he will definitely remember something,” Ji Yuqiao whispered comfortingly beside her.

“Right, there’s one place!” Ji Yuqiao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly pulled Xie Changyan outside.

They arrived at a wall in the backyard, where there were two lines, one red and one blue, each mark higher than the last, with a few simple watercolor red flowers painted beside them.

“Take a look at this, does it remind you of anything?” Ji Yuqiao pointed to the doodles on the wall and asked.

After so many years, the graffiti on the wall was still perfectly preserved.

Lin Xu could even recall the scenes from the past when she would measure the heights of Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu here.

“Our Tingyang is doing great, he’s grown another two centimeters this month. Let’s drink some more milk and then go out to run and exercise. You’re sure to grow even taller and turn into a handsome boy,” Lin Xu squatted in front of him, clapping her hands happily.

Having been praised, a trace of pride surfaced on Ji Tingyang’s small, straight face.

“Mom, what about me, did I grow taller?” Ji Zeqiu, having just been measured for his height on Ji Yanli’s hand, hurried over to ask.

“Our Zeqiu has grown taller too, that’s great,” Lin Xu said, rubbing his little face.

Ji Zeqiu giggled happily and ran over to hug her neck, “I will grow even taller in the future and become a man who protects Mommy.”

“Real men don’t cling to Mommy all the time,” Ji Tingyang’s tender voice carried a hint of disapproval toward his brother.

“You’re right,” Ji Yanli lifted Ji Zeqiu with one hand, “Mommy belongs to Daddy, you can’t just hug her randomly, understand?”

Ji Zeqiu’s little mouth puckered, and the next second he burst into tears, “Wuwuwu… I want Mommy, Daddy’s a meanie…”

Lin Xu gave the man a glare and took Ji Zeqiu back into her arms. “What nonsense are you saying to the child?”

Ji Yanli immediately admitted his mistake, smiling as he kissed her cheek, “I was wrong.”

Seeing this, Ji Zeqiu mimicked him and kissed Lin Xu’s face as well, “I kiss kiss too.”

Ji Tingyang strained to look up at them, envy in his round and glistening eyes.

Ji Yanli casually lifted him up too, “If little brother kisses Mommy, then Tingyang can kiss Daddy.”

Ji Tingyang looked over at Lin Xu and, in the end, still leaned in toward her to plant a kiss.

“You little rascal,” Ji Yanli clicked his tongue.

However, the next moment, his cheek received a wet kiss.

With a slight blush on his face, Ji Tingyang softly said, “It has to be fair, both people should get a kiss.”
