Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 250 - : You haven’t fallen for me, have you?

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: You haven’t fallen for me, have you?

“Mama said she couldn’t eat anymore, so since you don’t want to share with others, you’ll have to eat it all yourself,” Ji Yanli’s voice deepened, resonating with a powerful aura that was imposing without anger.

Faced with his authoritative father, the child instantly caved.

In the end, he held the cookies, placing them one by one into his mouth, tears falling like pearls off a broken string, dropping heavily from his eyes.

Even after twenty years had passed, Ji Zeqiu could still recall that scene and the painful sensation of a bloated stomach that stretched too far.

His father was always so strict at times, and even if he clung to his father’s legs, crying that he didn’t want to eat anymore, it was of no use at all.

“If the child doesn’t want to eat, don’t force him. What if you hurt his stomach?” Lin Xu felt sorry for Ji Zeqiu and held him in her arms, comforting him.

“If we don’t do this, he won’t learn his lesson. Let’s see if he will dare to force others to eat in the future.” Ji Yanli picked up the container that had rolled onto the floor and stuffed it back into Ji Zeqiu’s hands, “There are still five or six pieces left, hurry up and finish them.”

Even his mother’s persuasion was to no avail.

That day, after he finished the cookies, his stomach was so bloated he couldn’t even walk.

Now, hearing the same words from Xie Changyan’s mouth brought back the fear of his childhood in an instant, frightening Ji Zeqiu into silence.

Lin Xu gave Xie Changyan an irritated look and said crossly, “What’s with this eating? Have you forgotten the time you made Zeqiu eat an entire tin of cookies? That day, his stomach was so bloated he couldn’t even get out of bed. You might not feel sorry for your son, but I do.”

It seemed that Xie Changyan also remembered the incident, a flicker of guilt passing through his eyes, “Didn’t I give him digestives afterward? He felt better after a few hours.”

“If his stomach was damaged, do you think a few digestive tablets would have solved the problem?” Lin Xu glared at him.

Xie Changyan tugged at her hand, “I was wrong, don’t be angry…”

His gestures, witnessed by Ji Zeqiu, felt somehow familiar.

Strangely so.

Ji Zeqiu thought he saw a shadow of his father in Xie Changyan.

But in the next instant, his body suddenly froze, and he shook his head vigorously.

No, that’s not right.

Xie Changyan couldn’t possibly be his father, absolutely not!

Ji Zeqiu repeated this to himself several times, firm in his thoughts. Yet, facing the plate of grilled skewers in front of Lin Xu, he hesitated for a moment before sharing them with Ji Tingyang and Ji Yuqiao.

It was not because he was afraid, but because his mother couldn’t eat that much.

Approaching noon, the temperature in the air became increasingly hot.

The shade under the trees gradually shortened, completely exposing the five people beneath to the scorching sunlight.

“Why don’t we go rest in the owner’s shop for a bit? There’s air conditioning inside, and they have ice cream,” Ji Yuqiao suggested.

With no objections from Xie Changyan and the others, they quickly packed up their things and headed toward the lakeside store.

Su Shen’s mood inexplicably lifted as soon as Gu Zi mentioned him twice in quick succession. Sitting in the driver’s seat, he cast a victorious glance at Su Bing, waved his hand, and gestured for him to leave.

Su Bing met his gaze, his lips pressed into a tight line. Reluctantly, he began packing up the stationery he had prepared, vowing silently to himself that one day he would surpass his father’s wealth.

As the car pulled away, Gu Zi, seated in the passenger seat, noticed something that warmed her heart. Snacks and drinks were prepared neatly within reach, and the cherries in her pocket had even been washed. She popped one into her mouth—it was sweet, fragrant, and refreshingly juicy.

Her eyes wandered around the interior, realizing for the first time that the car had been meticulously cleaned, from the seats to the floor mats, every corner gleaming. Clearly, she had underestimated how much this older husband of hers valued her college entrance exams.

Gu Zi felt a mix of warmth and amusement. This wasn’t just a ride to an exam—it felt more like a family outing. Surrounded by such care and attention, she couldn’t bring herself to feel even a trace of pre-exam nerves. Instead, the atmosphere was so lighthearted that it bordered on leisurely.

To avoid the crowds, Su Shen had left early.
