Chapter 474 "I lost the bet, I accept the defeat"
Li Jingchen was silent for two seconds, his expression becoming more complicated. He held Jiang Mingyang's little hand and wiped away his tears. Then he said gently, "Yangyang, do you miss your mother? Dad will take you back tomorrow, okay?"
Jiang Mingyang sniffed and said, "Boss Li Zi, can I call my mother and ask her if she still wants me?"
Li Jingchen frowned and asked the child, "Has Jiang Tong told him before that she doesn't want him?"
Jiang Mingyang shook his head. "Mom said that she would take me wherever she went and she would never abandon me. But she never called me..."
Li Jingchen touched Jiang Mingyang's head and said, "Good boy, you have a mother and a father now. Dad will not abandon you and will always be with you."
"Let's have a good meal first. After we're full, take a shower. Then I'll lend you my phone to make a call, okay?"
Jiang Mingyang nodded.
I said in a naughty way, "Thank you, Mr. Li Zi..."
When Li Jingchen heard the soft and cute words "Mr. Li Zi", he wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
After dinner, Jiang Mingyang returned to his room, and soon there was a knock on the door.
"Oh my god!" Seeing Li Jingchen, who was shirtless, muscular and only wearing a pair of pants, Jiang Mingyang immediately covered his eyes with his small hands, leaving only a slit, and shouted.
"Chestnut is always shy!"
Seeing the little guy blushing again, Li Jingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly, "I'm your father, there's nothing to be embarrassed about between us father and son."
He came over and wanted to take off Jiang Mingyang's clothes and take him to take a bath together, wanting to cultivate a good relationship between father and son. Jiang Mingyang happened to see Li Jingchen's chest from this angle. He shyly covered his collar and shook his head.
"No, no! I'm not ready to take a bath with Mr. Li Zi!"
Li Jingchen was getting more and more confused. He raised his hands and said, "Okay, I won't touch you. So, do you want to take it off yourself?"
Jiang Mingyang nodded, "Boss Li Zi, go put on your clothes first! Don't catch a cold, mom said boys should also pay attention to protecting their privacy!"
Li Jingchen raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing a hint of smile, "Does she usually tell you this?"
Jiang Mingyang said, "Yes, my mother said privacy is very important. She never touches my collections."
Li Jingchen suddenly curled his lips slightly, "Yeah."
He thought the child was only three years old, still young and ignorant, but now...
"I'm sorry son, I was a little too anxious. When you want to take a bath with me, we can take a bath together. I respect you, okay?"
Then after getting Jiang Mingyang's affirmative answer, Li Jingchen touched his head and left his room.
But after all, he was still worried about him taking a bath alone, this little guy. Finally, Li Jingchen promised Jiang Mingyang that he could close his eyes and rub his back. After much persuasion, Jiang Mingyang agreed. Li Jingchen tried the water temperature in the bathtub and asked him if it was hot.
Jiang Mingyang kept saying it wasn't hot, but his face turned red. He covered his face and lay in the bathtub, "I'm so embarrassed! Li Zi always rubs my back..."
Li Jingchen held his thin and soft little arm. The child was too thin and he felt sorry for him.
"Yangyang, I'm your dad. Can you call me Daddy Li Zi again?"
The child had called him dad before, but he was too stupid to think the child was not his son. Since then, Jiang Mingyang never called him dad again.
"Mr. Li Zi, are you really my biological father? Um... I want to ask mom. If mom says it's okay, then I will call Mr. Li Zi dad, okay, Mr. Li Zi~"
Jiang Mingyang said in a low voice, a little afraid that Li Jingchen would be unhappy. Li Jingchen was not unhappy, he just pinched his little nose.
"You little guy, do you love your mother so much?"
"Of course, mom and I depend on each other. Mom loves me the most, and I love mom the most."
Li Jingchen suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
Then nothing more was said.
Originally, Jiang Mingyang said he wanted to call Jiang Tong, so Li Jingchen took out his cell phone for him. When he was blow-drying his hair, the little guy fell asleep on his legs in a daze, so Li Jingchen did not wake him up.
Looking at the child's sweet sleeping face, he thought of those words and his love and dependence on Jiang Tong.
How could he compare himself to the past three years? He missed every little bit.
Only alcohol could temporarily numb his reason. Just like last night, he didn't sleep all night and after drinking, he somehow wanted to find her. He went there early in the morning and saw that the door of her house was not closed. She was staring at the bracelet he gave her.
He clearly gave her two choices, but she would rather raise the child with him than remarry him. How much must she hate him to be so heartless, even though he had clearly taken a step back.
Li Jingchen drank another glass of wine.
The bright lights and nightlife in the bar had nothing to do with him. He drank alone and felt uncomfortable without alcohol.
There was no one around him. He held the wine glass, feeling sad and angry, and called the manager. Soon, many women were found for him. Why, why could he only wait bitterly for her to come back? If she didn't come back, what was he waiting for her for?
But when those women actually sat on both sides of him and smelled the pungent and unfamiliar perfume, he still frowned.
"Let's go." When a woman tried to put her hand on his shoulder, he pushed her away with disgust.
After all, he couldn't go against his conscience.
What's more, he didn't want to ruin himself in this way.
The manager stood aside, somewhat puzzled, "Boss Li, are you not satisfied with these women? How about I change a new batch for you?"
"No need, just take a few photos with your phone and send them to me."
He took the photo because he suddenly thought of the Yuan family. He wanted to let the Yuan family who was thinking of marrying him know that his private life was not so clean. Anyway, now that he had Jiang Mingyang, he had no intention of dealing with those who had no interest in him.
"Okay, Mr. Li," the manager asked after taking the photos, "What about these women...?"
Li Jingchen didn't even raise his head and told them to leave. He just wanted to be alone.
"Yes, Mr. Li."
Li Jingchen remembered a drinking buddy he often drank with and dialed the number.
"……where?"
"Guangzhou, what's up with you so late at night? Why are you calling me?"
Li Jingchen lowered his eyes and held the wine glass, "I wanted to drink with you, but since you didn't come back, forget it."
Song Qingyi chuckled on the other end of the phone, "What's troubling you that you want to drink with me?"
Li Jingchen was silent for two seconds, then he said with a twitch of his lips, "Wait for you to come back, then I'll give you one million."
"what?!"
Song Qingyi, "Are you drunk?"
Why give him a million dollars?
Li Jingchen said word by word, "I lost the bet, I am willing to accept the defeat."
