Chapter 772: Chapter 772: From Now On, I Live Across the Street
An Ruo had no ti to be surprised before An Ji let go of her, laughing as he stepped forward, lifted Kangkang high into the air, and asked, “Kangkang, are you happy to see your uncle?”
“Happy! Little uncle, I missed you so much.” The little guy said sweetly.
“Uncle missed you too.” An Ji held him, affectionately rubbing his little head.
An Ruo regained her senses and asked in surprise, “Kangkang, how did you know he is your uncle? Have you t him before?”
“Yes, I t Uncle abroad.” The little guy nodded.
“Why haven’t you ntioned that before?”
“Because uncle said not to tell Mom, he wanted to surprise her.” He giggled, and An Ruo laughed as well—it was indeed a surprise.
However, she was amazed at the little guy’s restraint; she had not expected him to keep a secret at such a young age.
After the pleasantries, they sat down to eat.
An Ruo asked An Ji so questions, and he answered them simply. His responses were consistent with what Tang Yuchen had said; neither of them had lied to her.
“Xiao Ji, now that you’ve co back, do you still plan to leave?” she asked him.
“I’m not leaving for now, but maybe one day I will go to another place.” An Ji spoke honestly; An Ruo nodded in understanding.
After all, he was older now and no longer the little child who needed her protection and care. He had his own career and pursuits, and she would support whatever he wanted to do.
After the al, An Ruo told him to go rest in his room, and An Ji laughed, “Sis, I won’t be living here anymore.”
“Why?” An Ruo asked in surprise.
“I bought the apartnt across from us. From now on, I will live there. The apartnt doesn’t need much renovation; I just bought so furniture, which will be delivered soon.”
“Why live across from here? This is your ho, and you can stay here. Besides, why spend money to buy the apartnt across the street? Living there and living here are the sa.” She had long awaited his return and had envisioned the family living together for so lively tis. His sudden move to the opposite seed so distant.
An Ji understood her thoughts and explained, “Buying the apartnt across was to not be too far from you. Besides, my social circle is different from yours; living here might inconvenience you. It’s better to have my own place so we can live near each other yet have our private spaces. Isn’t that nice?”
An Ruo understood his point.
Looking at him, she sighed, “Xiao Ji, you’ve truly grown up.”
He smiled slightly, “Sis, I’m already twenty, not so little anymore.”
“But in my heart, you’re still twelve years old.”
They had parted when he was twelve, so her perception of him had remained from that ti. But she knew she had to start letting go. He had grown into a man and no longer needed her motherly protection.
While An Ruo felt gratified seeing him grown up, she also felt lancholic at how quickly ti had passed. Ti really flew, and in the blink of an eye, she was nearly twenty-nine years old.
That day, An Ji’s apartnt was set up, and he moved in. An Ruo carefully inspected his apartnt and thought it was very nice.
The layout was the sa as hers, only the furniture was different.
An Ji gave her a spare key so she could enter his apartnt anyti.
He also had her spare key, allowing him to enter her place whenever he wanted.
