572 The Secret About the Past 190 (2/2)
She went forward fiercely and carried a completely naked Jin Bao'er from the bed, putting on her clothes while berating Shi Shaochuan, ”Bao'er will be turning six next January, what kind of a father are you?!”
”She's just a child who's over five years old, what's wrong with being naked? Why're you making such a big fuss? She's just my daughter in my eyes, just like how she is to you.”
”Yes!” Jin Qingyue was so furious she could feel her liver aching. ”She'll still be a daughter to you when she's thirty years old. Will she still be completely naked like that in front of you when she's thirty?!”
”Jin Qingyue, don't go overboard. Did I say that?”
”Shi Shaochuan, why don't you just go and die?!” After putting on clothes for Jin Bao'er, Jin Qingyue carried her out without even putting on her shoes.
”Mommy, where are you carrying me?”
”Go home with Mommy. Mommy's here especially to fetch you home.”
”Didn't I say I'll go back only when school starts?”
”School's about to start soon anyway. If you stay with your father longer, I think you'll go completely wild!” As she spoke, she was about to leave the front gate.
On the other hand, Shi Shaochuan had gotten down from the bed and chased after them to the first floor.
”Jin Qingyue, I'm warning you. Bao'er is my little sweetheart. If you dare to scold her or even lay a finger on her, you'll be answering to me.”
She was completely fearless as she rebutted, ”Shi Shaochuan, let me tell you as well. Don't act like a saint here. What gives you the right to say these things to me?”
Jin Bao'er, on the other hand, kept struggling in Jin Qingyue's arms. ”Mommy, put me down.”
Jin Qingyue just kept on walking briskly out of the house.
Shi Shaochuan did not stop her either. The child clung to him every day and, honestly, as time went on, he indeed felt that his freedom was being restricted.
Jin Qingyue successfully brought Jin Bao'er onto the car.
Looking at Ling Ciye seated in the driver's seat, Jin Bao'er asked, ”Mommy, will this be my stepfather in the future?”
”Umm.”
”I don't want a stepfather.” Jin Bao'er pouted and turned her face out the window.
”This is not something for you to decide.” Jin Qingyue closed the car door shut.
Ling Ciye fired the engine and drove the car without saying a word.
”Mommy, you're too overboard.”
”Oh, Mommy has gone too overboard indeed.” Jin Qingyue looked at her daughter solemnly. ”That's why, from today onwards, Mommy won't let you do everything as you please. All of your bad habits — Mommy will correct them properly.”
Hearing her mother say that, tears started flowing out of Jin Bao'er's eyes. ”I already said that I want to be with Daddy. Why did you still come and fetch me?”
Jin Qingyue did not answer her.
”Mommy…”
”Mommy…”
”In the future…” Jin Qingyue gazed at her daughter. ”I won't let you be with your Daddy anymore. I have your custody rights, so I'll take care of you.”
Jin Bao'er pouted her lips wilfully. ”I don't want to.”
”You can refuse, but there's nothing you can do about it.”
”Mommy, I hate you!”
”Whatever.”
Seeing that her method was not working, Jin Bao'er started throwing a huge tantrum. She cried, screamed, and made a huge fuss. However, what was different from usual was that Jin Qingyue did not even make eye contact with her and merely allowed her to continue her tantrum.
After a while, Jin Bao'er ran out of energy and stopped.
She could only obediently follow them back to Wei Ni Estate.
After packing up the bedroom, Jin Qingyue slept with her daughter in one room at night while Ling Ciye slept in another room by himself.
Ever since he was injured, they had slept together in one room. However, nothing happened between them.
Now that she was sleeping in the room next to his all of a sudden, Ling Ciye could not get used to it.
But fortunately, he was someone who could adapt well to his environment.
