Reborn as an Alpha and Still Wanting to Engage in Lesbian Relationships - Chapter 27.2

The adorable toddler was dressed so prettily that it was hard to ignore her.

Moreover, the little one on the stage had come into this world just for her.

The two toddlers’ eyes met, and Jiang Man watched as Wen Qing stood up.

Everyone observed Wen Qing’s movements and began whispering guesses about what she would grab.

Was it the shares? The money? Or…

Ignoring all the items her mother had prepared beside her, the beautiful toddler on the stage walked straight ahead without a sideways glance, heading directly off the stage.

“Manman!”

Suddenly having her hand grabbed by her little sister, Jiang Man looked up in surprise, puzzled as she stared at Wen Qing.

Those beautiful jade-green eyes were filled with seriousness and determination as Wen Qing held Jiang Man’s chubby hand and declared, “I wike Manman. I wanna grab Manman.”

Wen Qing’s words were like a bomb dropped into calm waters.

With a bang, Chairman Jiang exploded.

If it weren’t for Liu Ying’s quick reflexes pulling, tugging, and covering using her own strength to restrain the tall Jiang Feng, things might have escalated.

Jiang Feng was like a provoked lioness, fury blazing in her eyes.

Liu Ying held Jiang Feng back and whispered in her ear, “It’s Manman’s first birthday celebration. Don’t make me scold you on what should be the happiest day.”

Hearing this, the fire in Chairman Jiang seemed to be doused in cold water, instantly turning her docile.

“Okay, dear,” Jiang Feng said obediently, hugging Liu Ying and gently setting her down. But in places Liu Ying couldn’t see, her sharp eyes pierced straight toward the toddler who was holding her daughter’s wrist.

Some toddlers, no matter how cute and well-behaved they may seem on the surface, can’t hide their true nature they’re just plain annoying.

To Jiang Feng, Wen Qing was exactly that kind of child.

With her wife nearby, Jiang Feng didn’t dare make any moves and could only glare daggers at the cunning, serpent-like toddler.

Wen Qing held firmly onto Jiang Man’s hand, refusing to let go. No matter how much the producer and Xu Nuo tried to persuade the toddler to choose something from the items on the stage, she rejected them all.

“No,” Wen Qing said resolutely, holding Jiang Man’s hand. “Manman is the only one I wanna grab.”

“This…”

No one knew whether grabbing a person during a Zhou Catching ceremony even counted.

After a moment of locking eyes with Wen Qing, Xu Nuo sighed helplessly, “But Manman isn’t willing.”

“Am not!” Jiang Man snapped back to reality as soon as she heard her name.

She affectionately rubbed cheeks with her little sister before turning to Auntie Xu Nuo, who looked worried.

The toddler’s voice was clear and lively, like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, “Auntie, Manman is willing!”

With the child in question so enthusiastically agreeing, the adults had nothing more to say.

And so, the final toddler’s Zhou Catching ceremony came to an end.

As the last episode of the show, the producer and the entire crew held one final gathering with the guests before wrapping up.

With the heavy burden of ratings suddenly lifted, the producer, unable to decline the enthusiastic toasts, raised her glass and drank a few rounds under everyone’s encouragement.

As the alcohol took effect, the usually carefree and even somewhat sly, irritating producer wiped away tears in front of everyone.

Holding her face, the producer sobbed drunkenly, slurring her words as she thanked everyone present.

Finally, stumbling over to Manzai, the intoxicated producer tightly embraced the little one who had finally been allowed half a skewer of grilled meat.

“Oh, Manzai! Auntie thanks you!”

Holding the bewildered child, the producer showered the little one with every complimentary word she could muster, regardless of appropriateness.

Before the drunk woman could kiss the child, the protective Director Jiang scooped up the little one, disdainfully patting the spots where the producer had hugged her.

But no one expected the producer’s drunken courage to know no bounds.

With a dramatic wail, she lunged to hug Jiang Feng, thanking her for her discerning eye and generous investment that saved the program from being altered by capital pressures.

Her overly affectionate display made the usually aloof Director Jiang visibly uncomfortable, prompting her to hide behind her wife while holding the child.

The drunken producer expressed gratitude to everyone from young to old, from north to south. The farewell gathering eventually concluded amidst her emotional, tearful thanks.

The hangover hit hard the next morning, leaving the producer with a splitting headache as she woke up.

Sitting up while clutching her throbbing head, she gazed blankly at the now-empty room where the production team had lived for half a month.

After sitting dazed on the bed for a long while, she took out her light computer, logged onto the Star Network, and posted the group photo of all regular guests and crew members taken before last night’s gathering on the official account of “Observing the Little Ones Diary.”Observing the Little Ones Diary V: Grateful for our meeting, staying true to our original intention.” Gatherings and separations have their time – may the little ones meet again at the peak. [Group photo.JPG]】

Almost instantly, comments flooded the section in an explosive wave.

【Peppermint Chocolate Isn’t Toothpaste: Sob! I knew the show would end, but I really can’t bear to say goodbye to Manzai and the others.】

【Pink Sack: Nooo, could the producer create a growth observation variety show with Manzai and the other three little ones as guests? QUQ】

【Watching Shows While Eating: My digital side dish, my cyber daughters gone, all gone!】

With just a light refresh, hundreds of lamenting, crying comments would appear.

After reading for a while, the producer turned off her light computer and got out of bed.

Jiang Man had returned to the small manor where she had lived for ten months.

Though the nursery in this manor wasn’t as large as the one in the estate with the pony, Jiang Man, now back to living alone, found the room feeling overwhelmingly big and empty.

On her first night home, the little one, unaccustomed to being without her companions, carried her small pillow and was brought by the maid to her mothers’ master bedroom door.

Clutching her little pillow, the child knocked on the door with red-rimmed eyes.

Jiang Feng, who had been pushed out of bed by her wife to answer the door, found the tearful little one waiting outside.

“What’s wrong, Manzai?” Jiang Feng bent down to pick up the child, carrying her inside while gently asking, “Are you scared of sleeping alone? Or do you miss your friends?”

“Wah!”

The delayed withdrawal symptoms finally overwhelmed her when her mother unintentionally hit upon the truth.

Clutching her small pillow, the little one threw herself into her mothers’ arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

It broke Jiang Feng and Liu Ying’s hearts to see her like this.

When saying goodbye to her little friends in the morning, the little one was still full of energy and vitality. At that time, Jiang Feng had even chuckled with her wife, remarking that Manzai was a carefree little cub.

They had felt relieved then, glad that Manzai was such an untroubled child, thinking she wouldn’t be too sad about being separated from her friends.

But who could have guessed they had celebrated too soon?

Curled between her mother and mama, the little one sobbed until her body trembled. Though her cries were soft, the tears that fell on her mothers’ skin were enough to break their hearts.

Slowly realizing her sorrow, the little one wept uncontrollably in her mothers’ embrace, eventually falling asleep amid their gentle, intertwining pheromones that soothed her.

Liu Ying held the little one, cradling her in her arms. Jiang Feng tiptoed away to fetch a warm, damp towel.

Gently, she wiped the tear stains from the still-sniffling child’s face. Seeing the little one’s reddened eyes, both of their hearts ached.

Suddenly, a cat and a large dog appeared beside them, quietly crouching nearby, their eyes filled with concern as they gazed at the sleeping child.

They could sense that their own little ones were inside the young mistress, crying along with her.

Crying is something you get used to with practice. And since only her mother and mama had seen her this time, Jiang Man didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed.

In fact, she became even more clingy and acted in a spoiled manner, acting as though it were perfectly justified.

Suddenly without her little friends around, no matter what Jiang Man did, she felt that something was off.

Even when accompanying her mama to make a guest appearance on a film set, being passed around and cuddled by a group of older sisters and aunties, or going to work with her mother at the company, receiving enthusiastic affection from pretty older sisters, none of it filled the emptiness in the little one’s heart. She always felt like something was missing.

While being carried by the assistant manager and strolling around the practice room floor, they passed by a recording studio with its door slightly ajar. The little one tilted her head.

Hmm, did she just hear Fang Jin’s voice that little fluffball?

Unaware of the little one’s thoughts, the assistant manager continued walking forward with her in her arms.

As they drew closer to the recording studio, Fang Jin’s voice grew clearer and clearer.

“!”

The little one’s eyes widened abruptly. She turned and patted the assistant manager’s arm, pointing toward the room: “Sister, go! Go!”

Seeing the little one suddenly so excited, the assistant manager was puzzled but followed her wishes, heading toward the recording studio. Holding the child, she pushed open the slightly ajar door: “Hello, sorry to disturb.”

“I, Huh?”

Jiang Man locked eyes with Fang Jin, who was being held by an unfamiliar auntie inside the recording studio. Fang Jin’s singing abruptly stopped.

“Manman!” Fang Jin’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Jiang Man. She slapped the woman holding her with all her might: “Mama, it’s Manman! I want to go!”

The woman, whose arm was stinging from Fang Jin’s slaps, had no choice but to carry her out.

Watching them emerge from the recording booth, the assistant manager held Manzai with a professional smile: “My apologies for interrupting your new album recording, Ms. Fang Hao.”

“It’s fine.”

Fang Hao grimaced and quickly set her daughter whose slaps packed the force of a sledgehammer down on the floor. As she stood up, she saw the little one sitting obediently in the assistant manager’s arms, her round eyes wide open, and couldn’t resist the urge to reach out.

She gently pinched the little one’s cheek but hadn’t even started properly doting on her when Fang Jin on the floor shouted loudly: “Bad mama, don’t bully Manman!”

With a loud crash, little warrior Fang Jin charged fiercely at her mother to protect her best friend, sending her stumbling back with a grimace.

“Hmph!”

Fang Jin, proving with her strength that her little head wasn’t made of dough, planted her hands on her hips and glared furiously at Fang Hao.

Fang Hao, struck by this reckless little rascal, was left wondering if her leg bone might be fractured.

Taking a sharp breath, Fang Hao offered an apologetic smile to the assistant manager and Jiang Man. “Assistant Manager, this must be Manzai, right? Please wait a moment, I need to handle some mother-daughter business.”

The previously bold and spirited little one was swiftly subdued by her mother, tucked under her arm, and carried out to “handle their mother-daughter relationship.”

When Fang Jin returned, her eyelashes were still glistening with tears.

Fang Hao set her down. “Sorry for the embarrassing scene.”

The assistant manager shook her head and also put down the little one in her arms.

The adults gathered together, exchanging pleasantries or discussing topics that held no interest for the children.

The two best friends, separated for over twenty-four hours, let out excited cries and rushed into each other’s arms, hugging tightly.

“Manman! I missed you so much!”

Seeing her best friend, Fang Jin couldn’t hold back anymore and began pouring out her grievances to King Manman: “Mama is a bad person! She separated me from Mommy, left me alone in the room, woke me up early in the morning, and made me come to this strange house to sing songs!”

Hugging Jiang Man tightly, Fang Jin asked pitifully, “Did you miss me, Manman?”

Jiang Man held her best friend and nodded vigorously.

The two little ones huddled together, whispering head to head, completely unaware that the cunning adults had quietly approached and were eavesdropping on their conversation.

Fang Jin leaned close to Jiang Man’s ear and, in what she thought was a whisper, said, “I hate Mama. Can you help me run away?”

“Thinking of running away from home again?”

The evil adult’s sinister chuckle came from behind the children.

The little one, who had just been planning her escape, was seized by the scruff of her neck by her mother.

“Mm!” Fang Jin was lifted into the air, flailing her chubby limbs vigorously in her mother’s grasp.

“Manman, save me!”

Watching the fiercely resisting little one, King Manman temporarily closed her eyes.
