Chapter 296: You’re 23: You’re Just like Your Dad, Good at Acting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It seemed like Little Youjin knew that his parents were leaving him to go on a vacation. He cried non-stop in Xia Wenna’s arms. Song Yu felt very sorry for him and hurriedly carried him again in her arms.
Once he was in Song Yu arms, Little Youjin stopped crying immediately. Although there were still droplets of tears on his long eyelashes and he still sobbed and sniffled, he became quieter. He put his small hands on the Song Yu’s breast and appeared to be at ease when he was in his mother’s arms. He stared at her with his large and damp eyes – eyes that looked remarkably similar to Song Yu’s large eyes. It seemed like he was reluctant to part with her.
His stare could almost melt Song Yu’s heart. She felt as if she could not walk at all. She tried to get him to stop crying as she wiped his tears away.
“OK, we are not going to make it if we don’t leave now.” Qi Chengzhi walked toward her. He raised his eyebrows and stared suspiciously at his son. Then, he carried him from Song Yu’s arms and passed him to Xia Wenna again.
Everyone in the Qi family encouraged them to go on a honeymoon, and Xia Wenna was not unhappy about it even though it meant that Song Yu would not be able to care for her child.
She understood that the couple had gone through many obstacles that happened continuously, so they did not have the time for a honeymoon. Song Yu also got pregnant not long after her wedding, so it was not convenient for her to move around too much.
Song Yu was very lucky to have conceived a baby boy in her first pregnancy. Xia Wenna was thrilled with the news, and she thought that Song Yu deserved a lot of credit for that too. She was in such a great mood that she was willing to fulfill almost all of Song Yu’s wishes if they were not too excessive.
Furthermore, Xia Wenna had two children of her own. She knew how limited a woman’s life would be after they got pregnant. If a mother wanted to live and enjoy her life in a carefree way, she would have to wait for the next twenty to thirty years.
Her son and daughter-in-law had been married for so long, how could she let them wait for another twenty to thirty years to go on a honeymoon?
Therefore, Xia Wenna also supported their plans to go on a honeymoon. She did not mind it when they asked her to care for Little Youjin while they were on vacation.
Xia Wenna comforted Song Yu as she took Little Youjin from her. “Don’t worry about him, just enjoy your vacation. Qianying and I will take turns to care for him. Don’t you trust us? You have prepared enough milk for him, so he has enough food. You can still call us while you are traveling, right? We will give you updates whenever you call us. Just go, you should be happy when you go on a honeymoon. Don’t be sad to leave.”
When Xia Wenna saw that Little Youjin was on the verge of crying, she immediately asked Aunt Lian for a pacifier. She wanted to put something in his mouth so that he would not cry.
Qi Chengzhi took that opportunity to lead Song Yu away while his son had stopped crying. However, just as they walked out the door, they heard Little Youjin wailed.
Little Youjin was in Xia Wenna’s arms when he decided to stop sucking the pacifier. He opened his mouth, and the pacifier dropped onto the floor. Song Yu felt so sorry for her son, and she wanted to comfort him. However, Qi Chengzhi stopped her and said, “If you continue doing this, we won’t be able to leave for our vacation.”
“…” Song Yu could only turn her head and looked at the house once every few steps as they walked away from it.
“Don’t be so sad to leave him. We’re only gone for a week. We’re going on our honeymoon, and we only get to do this once in our lifetime,” Qi Chengzhi said as he pinched her hand. “Are you choosing your son over your husband?”
“…” Song Yu had never seen a man fought for his wife’s favor with his son like that, so she could only follow Qi Chengzhi into the car speechlessly.
There was really no explanation for that, but about ten minutes after his parents left, Little Youjin suddenly stopped crying. Perhaps he sensed that his parents would not come back for him even if he continued to cry. He blinked his large eyes, and there were tears on his eyelashes. He started to look around his new environment.
“…” Xia Wen was speechless as she stared at the little baby in her arms. “You’re just like your dad, so good at acting.”
…
…
Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi reached the airport slightly later than Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue because they spent a long time before they could part with Little Youjin.
After they passed the customs and the security check, they went to the VIP lounge to wait for their flight.
Song Yu was worried about Little Youjin, so after Qi Chengzhi and Cheng Dongge went to get some drinks and fruits for their wives, she called Xia Wenna.
Aunt Lian passed the phone to Xia Wenna. Song Yu felt quite embarrassed as she said, “Mum, how’s Youjin?”
“There’s no need to worry. He had stopped crying around ten minutes after you left. He was just acting in front of you, and that particular behavior is so similar to his dad. He is sleeping soundly now. Your parents will come and look after Youjin in the afternoon, so don’t worry about him,” Xia Wenna said over the phone, “I’ll snap a photo of him and send it to you. He looks so adorable now.”
A few moments after they hung up the phone, Xia Wenna sent a picture of Little Youjin, who slept soundly in the crib. Song Yu looked at it, and it seemed like he was not sad to part with her. Song Yu was relieved, but she was a little disappointed as well.
They had nothing to do while they waited for their flight. Since there was Wi-fi in the VIP lounge, they chatted with each other while they surfed the Internet. They shared some of the interesting things that they had seen on the Internet.
Song Yu watched Gao Jingqiu’s speech from the night before on the news. Gao Jingqiu’s popularity on the Internet had soared after his little speech. The viewers described him as the best husband and the best guy in China, and they also discussed how every woman should get married to a guy like him.
At the same time, the public had started to sympathize with Mu Sisi too. Most of the viewers pitied Mu Sisi and thought that she did not do that on purpose. She was also a victim, and many women found her experience heartbreaking, and they hoped that she could pull herself up as soon as possible.
However, many gossip bloggers had found out about what Mu Sisi had done before, and that included her attempt to seduce Qi Chengzhi and to destroy his marriage with Song Yu. In the end, she failed to do that. The bloggers also shared footage of her when she stripped naked in front of Qi Chengzhi. Some people pitied her, and some thought that she deserved the punishment.
Some people also commented that even though she was confused in her drug-addled mind, she still saw that person as Qi Chengzhi. She kept calling out his name, and she thought that it was him that had sex with her. She refused to forget about him even though he was already married. The discussion mentioned how she did not feel guilty when she mistook that guy for Qi Chengzhi and still catered to his lust. They questioned her personality because of that, and they thought that she did not deserve any sympathy.
Fortunately, many rational and reasonable people commented that even though Mu Sisi had done many despicable things, she still did not deserve to be drugged and raped and to have her nude photos and videos spread around the Internet. She deserved some sympathy, and even though she had acted wrongly before that, it did not mean that she deserved that horrible encounter.
In short, the Internet had different opinions about what Mu Sisi and what had happened to her. However, as usual, there was no end to arguments on the Internet. Song Yu browsed through the comments for a while longer, and then she closed the browser.
…
…
Mu Sisi had been quite furious during those few days. Every time they appeared in public, Gao Jingqiu would instantly put on an act. He pretended to support her and to forgive her so that he could create the impression of a good husband. He had received a lot of praise, and even the stock price for the Gao family’s company surged to its daily limit. MU had also launched their store for quite some time. However, the number of their customers had decreased, presumably because of what had happened to her.
Mu Sisi’s thoughts were on that issue when she heard the doorbell rang. Then she heard Aunt Ge’s voice. “Sir, you’re back.”
Mu Sisi was shocked when she heard that. She stared at the door with annoyance. That guy had not been back for the past few days, so she wondered what brought him home that day.
However, before Gao Jingqiu entered the house, Mu Sisi saw an awkward expression on Aunt Ge’s face. Then Gao Jingqiu walked into the house with another hand on his arm. That hand was attached to a woman who looked to be around twenty-two years old.
That woman acted like she did not see Mu Sisi as she looked around the house uninhibitedly. “So this is your house. Surprisingly, it does not look like you just had your wedding.”
After she said that, she stared at Mu Sisi’s face and pouted with contempt. Then, she averted her gaze and ignored her, as if she taunted her.
