Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 276 - : Back to 20 Years Ago (11)
Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Back to 20 Years Ago (11)
Ji Tingyang returned home to find Lin Xu and Ji Lanyue passionately discussing the plot of a TV drama in the living room.
Seeing the gentle smile bloom on Lin Xu’s face, the anxiety Ji Tingyang had carried all the way home slowly dissipated.
His mother was still there.
Ji Lanyue noticed the movement at the door, looked over, and instantly brightened at the sight of the bag of food in his hand, “Big brother, you’re back.”
Ji Tingyang nodded slightly and took out a plate to arrange the skewers he had bought. “Mother, I bought some food.”
“Those are all my favorites; did you buy them especially for me?” Lin Xu smiled at him.
Ji Tingyang’s eyes shifted as he coughed into his fist, “I just saw them being sold on the way back.”
Lin Xu remembered this shop was almost in the opposite direction of their home, unlikely to be on the way.
She smiled without exposing his lie, simply reaching out to rub his cheek, “Thank you, my dear son.”
Ji Tingyang’s ears peeking out from his hair quietly turned red, a warm feeling spreading in his heart.
Ji Lanyue peeked out her head, rummaging through the bag, “Where’s the pudding? Didn’t I ask you to buy it? Why don’t I see my pudding?”
Her nagging snapped Ji Tingyang out of his warm reverie. He raised an eyebrow, “Your pudding?”
“I—I mean, why don’t I see mother’s pudding?” Ji Lanyue quickly corrected herself.
Ji Tingyang responded indifferently, “I thought mother would prefer skewers more, so I didn’t buy the pudding.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Lanyue, who had been excited a second ago, suddenly deflated, muttering “stupid big brother” under her breath.
At that moment, Ji Tingyang pulled out a cup of pudding from another bag and waved it in front of her.
Ji Lanyue’s eyes lit up again, “My pudding!”
“Next time you want to eat something, don’t use mother as an excuse,” Ji Tingyang gently tapped her head, handing over the pudding.
Ji Lanyue stuck out her tongue and took the pudding back to the couch.
At that moment, the TV drama was apparently reaching its climax, and since Ji Tingyang had some time, he sat down to watch it with them.
However, after watching for ten minutes, his expression grew darker and darker, “What kind of mess is Ji Zeqiu acting in this drama?”
The male lead in the drama was none other than Ji Zeqiu himself.
As a child, Ji Zeqiu had no interest in the entertainment industry, and Lin Xu had thought he would choose a different career path as he grew up. However, unexpectedly, he ended going in circles and still debuted as an actor.
This time, however, Ji Zeqiu signed with Ji’s company, making his debut much less tough than it would have been otherwise; he could be said to have smooth sailing.
Under the company’s heavy promotion, he became a top-tier celebrity in no time, frequently appearing on the big screen and often starring in films and TV shows.
However, Ji Tingyang rarely watched any of the movies or TV shows Ji Zeqiu starred in. Seeing the kid who used to cling to their mother and ask for kisses now playing a domineering CEO on the big screen felt very disjointed.
But he hadn’t expected to sit down today and watch with his mother, only to find the plot even more incomprehensible.
“The female lead just doesn’t like him; why does he have to lock her up? Restricting someone’s freedom is illegal.”
“Is it that he can’t live without her? There are so many other outstanding women around him.”
“Does the male lead just forcefully kiss the heroine after she talks to another man?” Ji Tingyang’s frown deepened as he watched.
“Big brother, you don’t understand, this is called ‘domineering CEO’s forceful love’. Everyone likes someone rich to love them fiercely, to have eyes only for them, to go crazy for them,” Ji Lanyue explained, “This drama is so popular. Many of my classmates are asking for Second Brother’s autograph.”
Ji Tingyang’s brows twisted into knots, seemingly puzzled, “Do people nowadays really like this kind of TV drama?”
Lin Xu glanced at Ji Tingyang and felt a surge of bitter tears.
It’s not just people nowadays; even you were like that when you grew up.
The way you imprisoned Wen Li and went mad, you were no different from the male leads in the dramas.
So the first thing she did when she returned to twenty years ago was to educate Ji Tingyang to be a law-abiding good child.
“When you grow up and meet a girl you like, you must be gentle and patient. Don’t shout at her, and definitely don’t lock her up. You’ll scare her away. Do you understand?” Lin Xu repeated this earnestly, almost every day.
Even the bedtime stories at night were about abiding by the law.
Ji Tingyang nodded his little head and looked at Lin Xu innocently, “Then can I lock Mom up?”
“Of course not!” Lin Xu said sternly.
Ji Yanli’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp gaze sweeping over his son, “Then both Mom and Dad’s slaps will land on your butt simultaneously.”
His eyes were piercing, carrying an undeniable authority and oppressiveness, scaring Ji Tingyang into dropping the blocks in his hands and covering his butt.
A moment later, Ji Tingyang asked confusedly, “But why can Dad lock Mom up?”
Lin Xu was puzzled, “When did that happen?”
Ji Tingyang said, “Sometimes when Mom wants to go out, Dad would take her back to the room and lock her up until the next day before letting her out.”
“…”
There was a sudden silence.
Ji Yanli’s narrow eyes curved up, unable to suppress a laugh.
Lin Xu’s cheeks flushed red as she raised her fist and aimed it at him, “You jerk, you still dare to laugh!”
Ji Yanli caught her fist, drawing her into his embrace, his deep voice tinged with a light laughter, “Wife, I was wrong…”
Although there were some minor setbacks on the path of educating their child, fortunately, the results were good. After twenty hard years of raising him, Ji Tingyang did not turn out bad.
Lin Xu looked at Ji Tingyang beside her and nodded vehemently in agreement, “Son, you’re right! Such men will be despised by everyone. You must never do such a thing, understand?”
Ji Tingyang nodded, his expression earnest, “Tomorrow I will go and ask them how this TV drama passed the review, and make them take it down for edits.”
Lin Xu’s face stiffened slightly, her expression awkward, “Well… that might not be necessary. There are still some good points in this TV drama…”
“It’s okay to watch it just for entertainment,” Ji Lanyue quickly added, “And if Second Brother finds out the drama was taken down because of you, he would definitely fight you.”
Ji Tingyang glanced at them dispassionately.
Although his mother said it was unacceptable, she still enjoyed watching this kind of drama.
Women really are contradictory.
