Chapter 13: Disliking Mommy

th Qin Jing. 。So Qin Jingwen knew he wouldn't come looking if nothing was wrong. 。"Firstly, thank you for taking care of Xuanxuan this time, and please continue to help me with him in the future." 。Xu...The more Qiao Zixuan spoke, the worse his mood became, and the lower he bowed his head.

Qin Jingwen watched, her heart aching. She knelt down and hugged Qiao Zixuan in her arms.

“...”

Just as I was about to offer comfort, I unexpectedly heard Qiao Zixuan's extremely soft voice.

"I don't like Mommy, I don't want to live with her."

A child's casual remark deeply wounded Qin Jingwen's heart, and it also reminded her of the child she had given away.

Joe's relationship with his biological mother isn't good, so how much worse could his stepmother be Is he living a miserable life

Thinking about these things, Qin Jingwen's heart felt like it was being pierced by needles, a little bit of blood seeping out with each prick, the pain spreading little by little.

"Xianxian, Mommy and Daddy love you. They're just very busy and have limited time to communicate with you, so they seem distant. You'll understand when you grow up."

Qin Jing gently tried to comfort the child, no matter what, she couldn't let the young mind be overshadowed by gloom.

"Mommy is not busy, Mommy is at home every day. Her only job is to take care of Daddy."

Chiao Tzu-hsien was still talking, his voice choked with emotion, and he couldn't help but sob.

When held by his aunt, he could feel the warmth and completely relax. But in front of Mommy and Daddy, he had to be well-behaved like a grown-up, not showing any weakness. Even shedding a single tear felt like a huge mistake.

"Xuan Xuan…"

Qin Jingwen wanted to comfort Qiao Zixuan with sympathy, but she discovered the child's suppression, so she changed her tone.

"Xuan Xuan wants to cry, she can cry. Little kids should cry when they are wronged and shouldn't hold it in."

Qin Jingwen's one sentence made Qiao Zixuan completely burst into tears. He began to cry loudly, hugging tightly.

One side of the crescent moon couldn't help but cry.

"The young master should go home."

The housekeeper arrived a little late today, but witnessed Qiao Zixuan's just-now wronged scene.

"Don't cry anymore, your family is here to pick you up."

Qin Jingwen quickly soothed.

As Qin Jingwen watched Qiao Zixuan leave, her heart remained unsettled for a long time.

The child seems to have too many grievances and cannot tell them, so they can only keep them in their heart and bear them alone. However, this is not, nor should it be, something that a five-year-old child should bear.

"Mommy, my brother is so pitiful. His family's conditions are much better than ours. He has both a dad and a mom, but I think he's not as happy as me."

Half-Moon sat in the back seat of the car, still thinking about poor Joe Xu.

"Yeah, Xuxu gege is a bit repressed."

Qin Jingwen wouldn't agree. Even with both parents around, she still couldn't see the unique pettiness and coquettishness of her child.

"Mommy, let's invite Brother Xuen to play with us and relax him a bit."

Qin Jing readily agreed to Ban Yue's proposal.

But obtaining Qiao Shunchen's consent would probably be difficult.

After dinner, Qin Jingwen called Qiao Shunchen.

"Mr. Qiao, I want to take Half-Moon to the amusement park and I'd like to invite Xu Xuan to join us."

“...”

Jo Shunchen remained silent, his dark eyes clouded and thoughtful.

"Joe, are you listening I don't mean anything by it, you don't have to overthink it. I'll bring Xuanxuan back this evening, you and Xuanxuan's mom don't need to come along."

Qin Jingwen knew that Qiao Shunchen was listening to her phone call. Her silence must have been him speculating that she was again planning a scheme to seduce him, so she opened her mouth to explain.

"Time and place, tell me, I'll contact you tomorrow morning."

Joe Sun finished speaking in a low voice and hung up the phone directly.

"What does this mean Is it allowed or not This arrogant man is so speechless."

Qin Jingwen looked at the phone in her hand and muttered to herself, but she still sent the planned location and time to Qiao Shunchen by text message.

The next morning.

Qin Jingwen got ready early and took Half Moon to the largest leisure and entertainment park on an island in B City.

I was standing at the entrance of the park, waiting for Qiao Zixuan, but I didn't know if he would come.

Yesterday Qiao Shunchen said he would call, but he hasn't called yet. But Ban Yue and Qin Jingwen are still looking forward to it.

The gate of the park is very big, and there are many people playing. It's very difficult to find a specific person in the crowd.

As Qin Jing was looking around restlessly, Qiao Shunchen's assistant appeared before her.

"Sun, the assistant"

"Miss Qin, Mr. Qiao sent me to pick you up. He and Young Master are already waiting inside."

Although Qin Jingwen was surprised, she still followed Sun Xu and rode the sightseeing bus into the park.

The place Sun Xu brought them to was a children's playground, but apart from them, there wasn't anyone else.

"Auntie!"

Seeing Qin Jingwen, Qiao Zixuan flung his arms open like a bird and rushed towards her.

"Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan is so happy today."

Qin Jing is warm and affectionate, especially towards children. She believes that if you are kind to other people's children, others will be kind to her own.

"Well, I'm happy. This is Daddy's first time playing with me outside, it feels so good."

The child spoke innocently, their thoughts transparent.

"Well, that's good."

Qin Jingwen took one hand and brought him before Qiao Shunchen.

"I didn't invite you, you came on your own, so don't doubt my sincerity."

It's better to be clear, so people won't think you're a scheming woman.

"I suspect you're the one who laid the trap."

Qiao Shunchen spoke coldly.

“You… well then, let me ask you, since you know it’s a trap I set, why did you come”

Qin Jingwen no longer dodged this time. Since she couldn't change the man's arrogant thoughts, she simply countered by asking him how he would answer.

"..."

Yes, why would he still be here if he knew her intentions

Qiao Shunchen's dark eyes were deep and cold as he looked at Qin Jingwen, without answering the question.

Qin Jingwen went out in light makeup again today, wearing jeans and a white T-shirt with a sunscreen jacket on the outside. Her hair was tied up and she wore a sun hat. Casual to the max, completely different from yesterday's professional attire.

However, Qin Jingwen with such calmness is more comforting to look at.

Seeing Qiao Shunchen remain silent and just stare at her, Qin Jingwen knew that her rhetorical question had worked.

She stepped closer to Qiao Shunchen, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"From now on, please don't doubt me."

Qin Jingwen smiled triumphantly, causing Qiao Shunchen to be momentarily lost in thought.

"By the way, where are all the other kids"

Qin Jing spoke softly, returning to the topic at hand and not dwelling on her dispute with Qiao Shunchen.

"Miss Qin, we've got a private screening here. There are no other children."

Sun Xu answered Qin Jingwen.

"A private screening You're really the son of a rich family."

Qin Jing's voice was clearly laced with sarcasm, and she couldn't understand why a rich second generation would live like this.

"Assistant Sun, please take them to play for a while."

Two children were taken aside to play by Sun Xu, and Qin Jingwen also started her meddling mode.

"Shall we talk"

Qin Jingwen spoke first.

"What are you talking about"

Jo Shunchen's dark eyes were deep and his cold brows furrowed.

"Xuanxuan."

"Xuan Xuan is still a child, but I think he's too mature and thinks too much."

"Yesterday he told me that you have never picked him up from kindergarten, and his mommy has never picked him up either. I don't understand how you can be so busy that you can't take care of your child."

Qin Jingwen would never run out of things to say about her children, no matter where or when the conversation turned to them.

"This is my family background, it's none of your business."

Qiao Shunchen coldly retorted, his family background was something he didn't want others to interfere with. The woman he had just met a few days ago certainly didn't have the right to know.n couldn't possibly love a woman who stays home all day sleeping and never helps at work or goes out for exercise. 。Mother Ye saw Ye Wen's attitude and was somewhat angry. With such a lack of ambition...
