Chapter 603: Subtle Influence (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dreams were beautiful, but reality was harsh.
Su Qing’s baby might look tiny, but he was not light at all. Joy wanted to carry him there, but what really happened was he was half dragging and half carrying him.
The adults on the side wanted to help, but whenever they tried to get closer, the baby would glare at them. He wrapped his hands around Joy’s arm tightly. He viewed the adults who were trying to get closer as the villains that would take him away from Joy.
That shattered Su Qing’s heart into pieces. The fact that her baby would rather cling to some other person’s kid than her, that was really frustrating!
The child and the baby stumbled into the open space. Joy grabbed a toy on the floor. He was about to play with it when he met the baby’s curious gaze.
He hesitated for a moment before he gave him the toy in his hand voluntarily.
The baby, who was not even one year old, was curious about everything. He took it over without thinking and giggled at Joy.
The adults smiled in unison as they watched the scene from afar.
Su Qing heaved a sigh. She turned to look at Mu Tingfeng and said, “Joy is such a good boy. If you are willing to have another baby, I am sure he will be a good brother who will take good care of his little brother or little sister. So ever thought about having another baby?”
Su Qing was there with them when Joy cried after Su Ruixin suggested they have another baby. She could guess roughly the reason why Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng did not plan on having another baby.
When Zhao Youlin was asked the same question again, Su Qing thought her answer would be the same as before. Though she did not expect that Zhao Youlin would answer…
“This kind of thing is not something we can control. We will let nature take its course.”
The ambiguous answer was much better compared to the total rejection previously.
Su Qing was stunned as she did not expect that Zhao Youlin would suddenly change her mind. She took another look at Joy and her own son, who were playing happily in the room, as well as the other two pregnant mothers-to-be. Then, as if she had understood something, she nodded with a smile.
The children did not come and bother the adults as they were having fun on their own, which gave the adults time to sit down and talk.
The two pregnant women, An Yue and Su He, had endless common topics about the babies in their bellies.
In just a matter of moments, the girls had opened up to each other. It was like they were best friends who had known each other for years.
As for Han Yichen and Ye Yan, the two men who were surprisingly similar in the way they treated their wives, spared no attention for anything but their wives. They wished they could glue themselves to their wives and their unborn babies all the time.
In such a situation, Zhao Youlin could only chat with Su Qing about family matters, while Mu Tingfeng and Song Yi calmly engaged in a conversation that was full of technical terms that Zhao Youlin and others did not understand.
Under the harmonious atmosphere, Zhao Youlin and the others had spent a fairly pleasant morning at Su Residence. When it was time to go home, Zhao Youlin and Su Qing shifted their attention back to the children. They saw Joy controlling a cool mini off-road car running in front, while Dudu was behind Joy, giggling and crawling after him like a little tail.
Zhao Youlin and Su Qing were speechless.
‘Son, are you a puppy? I have never seen you this happy and this obedient when you were playing with us. You are already acting like a loyal puppy at this age. Is this really okay?’
Just when the two mothers were looking at their sons, who were playing together in a complicated mood, Song Yi seized the opportunity to lean closer to Mu Tingfeng and reminded him in a low voice, “When Xiao Qing and I came back yesterday, I think we saw an acquaintance on the way back.”
“An acquaintance?” Mu Tingfeng raised his eyebrows, keenly perceiving a hint of something unusual in Song Yi’s tone of voice.
“To be precise, it was an acquaintance of yours. It was someone that should not have been in the country. But it was a little dark at that time, so we could not get a good look. We could not determine if it was really him, or maybe we were just too sensitive and we thought it was him.”
Mu Tingfeng frowned and remained quiet for a moment before he said, “Who is him?”
Song Yi smiled and leaned closer to Mu Tingfeng’s ear. He said a name in a voice that only they could hear.
Mu Tingfeng’s face turned slightly gloomy after hearing it.
The two mothers did not even notice the interaction between the two as they were racking their brains to figure out a way to separate the children who were clinging to each other.
After thinking about it for a long time, in the end, they decided to take the most primitive approach. One mother stepped forward and coercively pulled the baby up and carried him away before he could react.
The result of doing that was predictable. After the baby realized what was happening, he immediately started to cry hysterically, like someone had snatched away his favorite toy.
Su Qing could not bear to see him cry, but she had no choice but to do what was necessary. She carried her son in her arms and rushed into the car and took off.
This was the first time Joy witnessed such a simple yet crude behavior. He was dumbfounded. Su Qing and her family had already left by the time he came back to his senses.
Joy felt a little disappointed, but he was not like Dudu, who did not understand why his parents did that. Even though he was disappointed, he would not cry out loud. He just lowered his head and looked sad.
Seeing her son’s reaction, Zhao Youlin felt bad for him. Zhao Youlin reassured Joy that he could still play with the baby next time. After kissing Joy several times, his mood finally got a little bit better.
Zhao Yulin was relieved, and at the same time, she was delighted. Joy liked Su Qing’s baby so much. If this could subtly influence him to accept babies, when the time came…
When she was ready to leave with Joy in her arms, Zhao Youlin suddenly seemed to remember something. She asked, “Speaking of which, where is Jifeng? How come I haven’t seen him today?”
Su He did not think much about it as she answered with a smile, “I think he is out of town. He left on the second day after my parents and grandfather returned.”
Um… The second day after Su He’s parents and grandfather returned? Didn’t that mean Su Jifeng still hadn’t been released from his confinement?
“I see.” Zhao Youlin smiled. While she felt deep sympathy for him, she also felt some indescribable pleasure over his misfortune.
Zhao Youlin and Han Yichen were going home separately. When they were about to part ways, An Yue suddenly ran over and held Zhao Youlin’s hand. She said in a low voice, “Youlin, my sister asked me to tell you that it seems that the store you asked her to pay attention to before is ready to rent lately. Can you stop by when you have time?”
Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered when he heard An Yue’s words, but he did not say anything.
Zhao Youlin was a little surprised to hear that. She nodded and said, “Okay. Tell An Qi I will stop by when I have time.”
“Okay!”
