Qi Heng’s body stiffened as he felt a little lost.
Ever since Qi Chen became sensible, he had been more independent than other children. He had never asked for attention or hugs.
This was the first time Qi Heng had encountered such a situation!
Qi Heng patted his son’s back stiffly and felt his small body lean into his embrace.
Qi Zhan and Lu Ru stood not far away. When they saw this scene, they finally revealed gratified smiles.
Butler Qin sniffed and tears welled up in his eyes again.
He used a handkerchief to gently wipe the corners of his eyes, lamenting that after so many years, the relationship between this pair had finally become somewhat normal.
However, in the next moment, a small grumble came from Qi Heng’s arms, breaking the harmony.
“Do you know how to coax a child?” Ye Xun looked at Qi Heng unhappily.
“I’ll throw up if you continue like this!” Ye Xun struggled in Qi Heng’s arms and crawled back under the blanket.
Feeling wronged, Ye Xun’s tears flowed down as he thought to himself, “Mommy’s hug is still the most comfortable!”
Seeing this, Lu Ru grabbed Qi Heng’s arm and pulled him away before sitting down.
Qi Zhan looked at Qi Heng as if he expected better from him. After a while, he said, “Go, go, go! There’s nothing we can do here!”
“Go have your meeting!”
Qi Heng stood where he was and watched as Lu Ru covered the tiny body with the blanket.
He grunted and walked from the room.
Lin Mo followed behind Qi Heng and felt that the figure in front of him looked colder than usual. There was even a trace of… depression?
…
After Ye Shu and Ellie prepared breakfast, they went to Ye Xun’s room to wake him up.
Ye Xun, who usually lazed in bed every day, actually stood by the window in a daze early in the morning.
Ye Shu pushed open the door and was surprised to see him dressed neatly with a troubled look on his face.
Qi Chen turned to look at Ye Shu.
He hesitated, then said, “I’m up.”
He was still not used to being addressing his mother, so he did not do it.
Ye Shu did not notice Qi Chen’s omission. Instead, she was worried about his reddened face.
She quickly walked up and reached out to touch Qi Chen’s forehead and cheeks. “Why is your face like this? Are you feeling unwell?”
Qi Chen took a step back uneasily but did not escape Ye Shu’s touch.
“You don’t have a fever. What’s going on…” Ye Shu looked at Qi Chen strangely.
Qi Chen quickly walked past Ye Shu towards the door. “Maybe I used too much strength when I washed my face this morning.”
Although the reason Qi Chen came up with sounded a little far-fetched, she felt relieved that he was not feeling unwell.
The whole family gathered around the table to eat. Lu Fen would cast a look at Qi Chen from time to time.
Qi Chen felt a little uncomfortable and frowned, but he did not change his habit of eating slowly.
Ye Shu also felt that Qi Chen’s actions were a little strange.
Although Ye Xun was usually very well-versed in dining etiquette, he always ate in big mouthfuls, as if the food was very delicious.
Today, it seemed like…
“Is the food not to your liking?” Lu Fen probed. “Shall we ask Ellie to get you something else to eat?”
Qi Chen put down his spoon and smiled politely at Lu Fen. “There’s no need. I’ve already finished eating.”
Lu Fen was stunned for a moment before she said, “You haven’t even eaten a few mouthfuls…”
“I’m not hungry this morning,” Qi Chen said as he sat down and faced Lu Fen and her daughter.
Ye Shu looked at Qi Chen suspiciously. She felt that this son of hers seemed very unfamiliar.
“You… Did something happen yesterday?” Ye Shu asked worriedly.
Ye Shu had already felt that his son was a little strange after returning home yesterday. But at that time, she had only thought that he was unhappy about having to spend time looking for her.
But from the looks of it today, her son seemed to have been swapped!
Ye Shu’s heart skipped a beat.

She looked at her son carefully and an implausible thought suddenly popped up in her mind.
“Are you… Ye Xun?” Ye Shu probed.
Qi Chen was stunned for a moment before he quickly nodded. “Of course!”
He did not want to be exposed so quickly and be sent back to that family!
That detestable father was probably still thinking of how to make snake soup with his baby!
