Chapter 346 - He Won’t Be Disappointed If He Doesn’t Expect Anything (1/2)

Shi Junhe had tears in his eyes. Sadness and helplessness filled his pupils, and Shi Qingxue felt heartbroken to see that.

Qingxue had never seen Shi Junhe show such complicated emotions. Even though she had nowhere to vent her depression, she couldn’t bear to make things difficult for her father.

But Qingmin…

“If you worry that the environments in all the villas of our family are not good enough, I can buy another villa which is fit to live in and then send the most capable servants and those good at taking care of a baby in our mansion to the villa. And we will provide food, clothes and daily necessities in time. Anyway, I won’t make Qingmin suffer.”

Shi Junhe correctly guessed what Shi Qingxue was worried about and made the best arrangements.

“Don’t worry. Qingmin is my son. I won’t treat him unfairly anyway. Just trust me, okay?”

Since Shi Junhe begged Shi Qingxue in a humble tone, she had to make a concession no matter how resentful she was.

She turned away and didn’t want to look at Shi Junhe. Then she just said in a hoarse voice, “Qingmin is still waiting for me in the villa. I will bring him back at the feast.”

Shi Junhe knew that Shi Qingxue agreed to Dong Hui’s three requirements.

So he sighed with relief.

Although he knew that Dong Hui would be unhappy to see Shi Qingmin at the feast for the babies’ completion of their first month of life, he didn’t want to think about so much. He nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay. You must come back then.”

After saying that, Shi Junhe looked at Shi Qingxue hesitantly. He wanted to say something yet stopped himself.

“Qingxue, you…”

Shi Qingxue understood Shi Junhe’s hesitation, but she still complained in secret about her father’s arrangement, so she didn’t speak on behalf of him considerately like she would do as usual.

Shi Junhe smiled bitterly and then stated, “Qingxue, I will tell the servants to take good care of Qingmin. Please move back home. When you are not home, it is not so lively.”

As Shi Junhe begged her softly, Shi Qingxue knew that her father missed her all the time, and then she wasn’t mad at him anymore.

Her anger disappeared soon.

However, she didn’t agree immediately. After a long while, she pursed her lips and replied in a low voice, “I will consider it.”

Afterward, she left.

Shi Qingxue left the Lanxun Villa in a hurry, and she came back in a rush, too.

She did it not just to avoid the affairs in Duke Shi’s mansion.

A baby would get hungry easily, and Shi Tianyou was like this, so Shi Qingmin was certainly the same.

Moreover, Shi Qingmin didn’t eat milk, and the sugar water was not nutritious enough, so he would be hungry more frequently than those at the same age.

Shi Qingmin was finicky when Shi Qingxue raised him. He would rather be hungry than drink the sugar water fed by others, so Shi Qingxue returned to the Lanxun Villa in haste after deciding the related matters.

She was afraid that the little baby would be hungry.

In fact, this was what made her hesitate most when Shi Junhe asked her softly to return to the mansion.

If she was not here, who would spoil Shi Qingmin?

The first thing Shi Qingxue did after she came back was comfort Shi Qingmin. She was busy with everything and finally heaved a sigh of relief after she rocked the baby to sleep.

It happened that Mo Junyang came, so Shi Qingxue told him in depression what had happened today.

Qingxue was not satisfied with the result of the negotiation, but she couldn’t figure out a way to make Dong Hui change her mind.

She had seen how stubborn her mother was.

“Junyang, what do you think I should do?” Shi Qingxue rested her head on Mo Junyang’s shoulder and asked gloomily.

Mo Junyang was happy as the beauty threw herself on him, so he conveniently held her in his arms. Then he waved away the servants and stated casually, “It depends on what effect you want.”

Shi Qingxue was stunned and raised her head from Mo Junyang’s arms.

She knew that since Mo Junyang said that, he had a way to satisfy her, but when she looked at him, she couldn’t speak a word.

She couldn’t speak out what she wanted.

Did she want Shi Qingmin to have an identity?

Dong Hui had admitted that Shi Qingmin was the first young master of the family.

Did she want to give Shi Qingmin a better living environment?

Shi Junhe had made a promise.

Then what else did she want?

“I just…” Shi Qingxue pursed her lips and said with a lot of effort, “I just want to take Qingmin back to Duke Shi’s mansion and let him enjoy the treatment as the first young master.

“Hmm, more than a good life materially, I want him to see his parents and not to be alone.”

Mo Junyang pondered for a moment and then expressed, “If you want Qingmin to live at home, it is easy.”

Shi Qingxue’s eyes lit up at once, and she fixed her eyes on Mo Junyang, with expectancy and desire.

“However, you need to know something,” Mo Junyang added unhurriedly.

He didn’t keep her in suspense but continued in a deep and indifferent voice, “Your mother doesn’t like Qingmin and repels him from the bottom of her heart. Even if I make Qingmin return to the family, she won’t care about him sincerely but may even…”

Mistreat him.

Mo Junyang didn’t make it clear. Instead, he reminded her, “Don’t say that a child doesn’t know anything. On the contrary, the child is more sensitive. If Qingmin knows how his mother treats him and that she even almost killed him because she was disgusted with him, do you think that he will be happy?”

No, he wouldn’t.

Shi Qingxue was speechless after hearing Mo Junyang’s evident yet incisive questions.

She had never considered such a question, but she had to attach importance to it after Mo Junyang mentioned it.
