Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 423 I Have a Playboy CEO Dad 1

"boom!"

Without noticing, Zhao Zhao bumped into someone while running. His frustration kept building up, and he covered his forehead, his eyes finally reddening. Before he could even throw a tantrum and cry, a familiar voice rang out above him.

"Zhao Zhao, did you hurt yourself?" A gentle, slightly weary voice rang out, and the person squatted down, their warm hand caressing his face.

"Little man, you can't cry all the time."

When that hand gently wiped away the tears from the corner of his eye, Zhao Zhao finally managed to hold back his tears. He looked up with a wronged expression at his aunt Rong An's gentle profile, and he hesitated before asking, "Aunt, what's wrong?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Rong An's conflicted and chaotic thoughts immediately ceased. All Zhao Zhao heard afterward was her concern for her.

Rong An forced a smile, concealing her sorrow when facing Zhao Zhao, replacing it with tenderness.

"Auntie is fine, but you and..."

"I don't want to be Lu Nianchu at all!"

Rong An was taken aback, then realized what he meant and said with a smile, "Zhao Zhao, have you ever heard of the idiom 'trying to cover up but only making it more obvious'? It means something similar to what you're feeling right now."

What she actually wanted to bring up was the matter between Zhao Zhao and Rong Yu.

Rong Yu complained to her that Zhao Zhao wasn't close to him, and she naturally took it to heart. However, since Zhao Zhao wasn't thinking about him, she decided not to mention Rong Yu for the time being.

Let's find a special opportunity to talk to her properly next time. Anyway... she'll be staying here for a long time, there's no rush...

Zhao Zhao was still illiterate, so even if he had heard the idiom, he certainly wouldn't remember it. He immediately shook his head, looked at his aunt's smiling eyes, and blushed on his awkward face. He stubbornly said, "What! Aunt, don't look at me like that. I didn't say anything just now, and I didn't mention anyone! Humph!"

A hint of a smile flashed in Rong An's eyes. Zhao Zhao had been a troublesome child since she was little.

She didn't say anything more, gently picked up Zhao Zhao and walked towards the back garden, talking and chatting with him while trying to cheer him up.

Zhao Zhao was amused by Rong Le, and her eyes narrowed with joy. But when she turned her head, she bumped into Lu Nianchu, who was secretly watching them from behind the thick trunk of a big tree.

So she immediately turned her head away arrogantly, which startled Lu Nianchu, who had finally broken through her psychological defenses, and made her pout unhappily.

Children are innocent and don't know how to hide their thoughts. Zhao Zhao secretly looked at him again, but only saw his back as he ran away without hesitation.

For a moment, I felt extremely lost.

Hey, why are you turning your head like that?

Zhao Zhao's words and actions were inconsistent. On the surface, he remained calm, but no matter how Rong An tried to amuse him, he stopped laughing.

......

With a few more kids in the house, it was as if there were a few more ancestors. Normally, having just one ancestor like Zhao Zhao was enough to torment people, but with two more, Rong Yu, who had only stayed at home for half a day, couldn't wait to rush back to the company.

Watching Rong Yu's tall figure flee in disarray, Zhao Zhao was furious. She stomped her foot and roared, "You stinky Rong Yu, don't come back once you're out!"

Unfortunately, Rong Yu just smiled casually and ran out. He couldn't give the baby away, his son was still angry, and the other two children were a nuisance. Thinking of this, his steps became lighter the moment he stepped out the door.

The streets seemed filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Zhao Zhao was so angry that her face turned red. As she stormed back, she accidentally knocked over the building blocks that Lu Nianchu had set up.

He braced himself for Lu Nianchu's furious roar, but the air was eerily quiet.

Unable to resist, Zhao Zhao immediately looked down to observe Lu Nianchu's emotions and found that the boy was sitting there blankly, neither speaking nor getting angry.

This left Zhao Zhao, who was prepared to take a hard line, at a loss for what to do. In the end, she stiffened her neck and said in a rigid voice, "I'm sorry!"

Lu Nianchu was startled by his loud and energetic apology. He looked up, and Zhao Zhao then realized that Lu Nianchu was actually looking dejected.

Zhao Zhao, who hadn't originally intended to listen to his thoughts, immediately perked up her ears.

Unfortunately, he heard nothing. Lu Nianchu was in a daze, and even with Zhaozhao standing in front of him, his thoughts were still wandering.

The child's innocent and adorable face was full of grievance. Zhao Zhao had never seen his cousin so sad before. After all, this cheerful little boy was always smiling.

Zhao Zhao felt a little sorry for him and didn't want to be angry with him for a moment.

With a mature air about him, he sighed, and the frustration he had been holding in for two days vanished with that sigh.

Rong Yu's words resurfaced in his mind. He said that it was no big deal for children to have conflicts, and they would make up in a couple of days. Zhao Zhao was a little unconvinced, but what could he do? After all, this was his beloved older brother.

Just as his hand patted Lu Nianchu's thin shoulder, his innermost thoughts finally reached her.

[I've made up my mind! I want to go with my mom!]

Zhao Zhao: ?

Lu Nianchu snapped out of his reverie, his eyes resolute as if he were about to join the Party. He thought about the more serious matters at hand, and stopped being angry with Zhao Zhao. He looked at Zhao Zhao and said in a clear and resonant voice, "Zhao Zhao, from now on I am your older brother!"

Zhao Zhao: ?!

Zhao Zhao's little head was full of big question marks. What happened these past two days when they were arguing? How did Lu Nianchu become his older brother?

However, that's not realistic!

He was extremely puzzled, but fortunately, his inner voice arrived in time.

[After Mom and Dad divorced, I lived with Mom, so from now on, my name is Rong Nianchu! I share the same surname as Zhao Zhao, so I'm his older brother!]

The little boy's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't know much about the word "divorce," but he listened to the adults' one-sided comfort and understood his inner conflict.

Zhao Zhao was startled. No wonder their inner thoughts had been so strange these past few days. No wonder Rong Yu said he was going to settle accounts with his uncle before leaving home.

It turns out, it was a divorce.

He opened his mouth, but faced with his naive and innocent older brother, he didn't know what to say to comfort him. However, his brother looked so happy that he didn't seem to need his comfort at all.

Zhao Zhao has a system, so her common sense is much richer than that of ordinary children. When she heard Lu Nianchu calling her "brother" repeatedly, she was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Lu Nianchu assumed that Zhao Zhao was still dissatisfied with him, and complained aggrievedly, "Hey! Are you still angry with me?!"

Perhaps realizing his voice was too harsh, he lowered his tone and said, "I'm sorry, Zhao Zhao, I was wrong. Please forgive me."

The boy stepped forward and eagerly hugged the child, who was even shorter than him, and whispered, "Every moment when we argue is so painful. I never want to argue with you again. Let's make up, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhao nestled in her cousin's not-so-broad embrace, curled her lips into a smile, and then pretended to be nonchalant: "Okay, let's make up."

Not far away, Grandpa Rong and Rong An, who were watching this scene, both smiled.

"The children's matter is finally resolved. Now it's your turn."

Grandpa Rong's tone gradually became serious, but Rong An looked at the children with a unchanged smile.

She nodded firmly and said, "I will handle it."
