All of them followed the voice and glanced at Christy Zhong in surprise. Did she hear their conversations?
However, even if she heard their dialogue, then what? Even though she knew the children were fond of her, then what? In every well-ordered family, the children's perspective was a matter of complete indifference to the adults, especially in such a rich and powerful family.
Weiyue Feng and Juezun Feng finally broke the mold, "Hello, auntie Christy," they cried and ran towards her, leaving James Feng alone.
Christy stooped down happily under their gaze. She opened her arms and gave them a big hug.
That was weird. James Feng felt a magic power was controlling all this. Even if they didn't know each other's identity, but the cordial feeling came from their heart couldn't be replaced.
"Are they really so close?" Meijuan Feng could hardly believe her eyes. Because of her youth and relations with these two little ones, she couldn't accept that she lost to Christy. How long had they known each other?
And Meijuan was certainly not alone. All of them didn't understand. So they looked at Yvonne Jiang intentionally or not as they spoke, everyone knew her effort and intention. However, Christy got it so easily. The results was incredible.
"Yvonne, do not worry about it. The children are still young. And look, they even left their real father alone, not to mention their aunts and uncles. Maybe they will like you the most in the next second," said Wenya Feng, trying to spare Yvonne.
It was better she didn't talk at all. Yvonne felt embarrassed, her face was flushed and seemed to be slapped by someone.
Human nature was frail. If others did not mention anything about it, Yvonne won't care too much. But Wenya's words seemed to remind her of failure and disadvantage. Yvonne felt if she didn't respond, she would have no place in this family.
Just out of impulse, she looked at James and said,"Brother Chen, it appears that this secretary Zhong is very persuasive. Not only can she stay by your side, but she can also seduce the two little ones."
Yvonne made it sound as if Christy was a woman that loved to lure those who were useful to her. Yvonne was clearly tempted to demonize Christy. As they sat close together, these words was of course thoroughly understood by every one present.
Christy actually didn't hear them just now. Now she soon realized they spoke with heavy irony.
Well, what would she do? She could only play dumb. So she looked at the children and smiled lightly, "Weiyue, Juezun, let's have dinner together."
The two little kids took James's hands and the four of them walked hand in hand. Yvonne eyed them jealously and there was nothing she could do. She just couldn't walk up to them and pull them apart.
Besides, they were inseparable. If they were both eager to stay together, she was unable to split them up.
"Dad, you come here along with auntie Christy. Why don't you take good care of her? You are only chatting with aunts and uncles." asked Weiyue.
Then Zunjue added immediately, "Dad is not chatting with aunts or uncles. He is chatting with auntie Yvonne. But dad, auntie Christy is your girlfriend, you need to clear your head."
James and Christy found it astonishing that he should speak like that. They didn't know why.
Christy was a little embarrassed because she spent more time with these two little kids. But she actually didn't say such thing as that before. Even if it was the truth, she was afraid no one would believe her.
"Babies, this is our own business. Don't worry, my dears," that was all Christy could say.
