Chapter 162 There's No Escape
Then you'll just have to wait for next time, and you might not even get a chance until you die.
Lin Yuyao was all too familiar with his tactics.
So he only bullies the weak? She stopped caring, but he started talking big.
Upon hearing his words, Fang Qing's smile froze. Following his gaze, she turned her head and saw Lin Yuyao.
The indescribable pain and anger in my heart.
Didn't they already call off the engagement?
Why is she still haunting us?
Does she know they're getting married?
Lin Yuyao, why are you here again?
Lin Yuyao shrugged helplessly. "I've brought him to you. Keep an eye on him and don't let him bother me again."
After saying that, she turned and left.
"Yuyao..."
Lu Jiangting was about to chase after her after she left, but Fang Qing stopped him with lightning speed.
"Jiang Ting, Chenchen has been talking about you since this morning, all day long. Don't rush off, play with him for a while."
Wang Chenchen stood pitifully at the door, looking at him.
In such cold weather, he was wearing a pair of tattered shoes, with his toes sticking out.
This scene stimulated his sensitive nerves, softening his hardened heart instantly.
What adults do should not affect children.
He's already pitiful enough for not having a father; he can't leave.
Lu Jiangting sighed deeply and decided to stay and play with Chenchen for a while.
"Chenchen, have you finished building with the blocks from last time?"
"It's all set up." Wang Chen hurriedly pulled Lu Jiangting to see his work.
A smile appeared on his face, as if the gloom had been swept away.
Lu Jiangting breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
A child's happiness is that simple: having someone to accompany them is enough.
Even if they get hurt, they forget about it quickly.
Why can't adults be as simple as children?
Why won't she forgive him even after he apologized so humbly?
On the other side, Fang Qing smiled, put her apron back on, and gave them a gentle smile, saying, "You guys play for a while, I'll go cook, and we'll be eating soon."
Lu Jiangting didn't say anything and focused on playing with Wang Chen.
Fang Qing's smile froze for a moment as she turned her head to look at the bouquet of bright red flowers placed by the door.
The bright red color stung her eyes.
However, she quickly calmed herself down.
So what if it was prepared for Lin Yuyao?
Ultimately, it didn't end up in Lin Yuyao's hands; now, it lies quietly in its own home.
It belongs to itself.
Once the food was ready, Fang Qing warmly invited Lu Jiangting to eat.
She knew her strengths; she listened to his troubles and took care of him like a caring older sister. She was also a vulnerable and helpless little woman, a pitiful single mother, a young widow in need of a man, satisfying his pitiful pride.
He was unwilling to marry a widow, but he couldn't refuse.
Fang Qing always manages to strike the perfect balance.
When Fang Qing invited Lu Jiangting to dinner, he initially refused, but he couldn't resist Chenchen's expectant gaze.
"Uncle Lu, please stay and eat. If you sit next to me, I can eat an extra bowl."
Fang Qing smiled with satisfaction; she had taught her child very well.
"Have a meal before you go, it won't take long," she gently invited.
Looking at Fang Qing in front of him, Lu Jiangting felt that her smile was mixed with bitterness and helplessness.
It's not easy for her as a woman raising a child alone; on top of that, she was slandered and lost her job.
I also distanced myself from them because of those unfounded rumors and took less and less care of them.
She must be feeling really bad too.
She still smiled, forcing a smile so he wouldn't worry.
And then he looked down at the little hand holding his.
I thought about it again and again, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Chenchen is so young, he lost his father at an age when he didn't even know what a father was. It's just a meal, how could he bear to refuse?
So he stayed.
But since it was getting late after dinner, Fang Qing asked him to stay overnight.
Lu Jiangting instantly regained his senses.
How can you stay overnight? So many problems have arisen because of staying overnight before.
Lu Jiangting shook his head decisively and said, "Sister-in-law, I stayed overnight when Chenchen was sick before, which has already damaged our reputations. I absolutely cannot stay overnight again. I hope you will not make such a request again in the future."
Fang Qing's face turned pale, and she instantly regained her senses.
I just saw him interacting with Chenchen; they were eating together, just like a warm and harmonious family.
Let her be complacent for a moment, then become careless, and accidentally say something that goes too far, which will make him wary again.
Fang Qing quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes, look at me. I only saw that it was getting late and it was so cold outside, so I blurted out that I would let you stay overnight. I forgot for a moment how much people would talk."
She glanced outside and said, "Wait for me a moment."
Fang Qing quickly grabbed a scarf and an umbrella.
"Judging from the weather, it looks like it's going to rain. Take your umbrella. It's so windy, put your scarf on."
Lu Jiangting looked at the thing Fang Qing stuffed into his hand and was at a loss for words.
He felt he shouldn't accept it; he should keep his distance from Fang Qing.
We came to see Chenchen, just to see Chenchen.
"Sister-in-law, I checked the weather forecast, it's not going to rain until late tonight, it won't rain now. I'm going back right away, I won't take the things."
"Well... okay then, don't take the umbrella, you can keep the scarf. I knitted this a few days ago, one for you and one for Chenchen."
Wang Chen quickly grabbed his scarf and showed it to Lu Jiangting with a smile, "Uncle Lu, look, isn't it the same as yours? Yours is a bit bigger, and mine is a bit smaller. We have the same scarf!"
He was going to refuse, but how could he bear to refuse the child when he heard his innocent words and saw his naive smile?
Lu Jiangting could only agree, smiling as he patted Wang Chen's head and said, "Alright, we'll each take one."
"Uncle Lu, you should quickly put it on."
"Okay, I'll put it on right away."
Both of them wore scarves of the same color and style, one big and one small, looking like a father and son.
Lu Jiangting said to Fang Qing, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving."
Fang Qing didn't stop her, she just smiled and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Lu Jiangting nodded and turned to leave, but Wang Chen stood at the door and asked Lu Jiangting, who was coming down the stairs, "Uncle Lu, will you come again tomorrow?"
tomorrow?
Tomorrow is Sunday, he could actually come.
But he can't come, and he can't spend too much energy on the mother and child, otherwise he would be letting Yuyao down.
So he shook his head and refused, "I won't come tomorrow, Chenchen, Uncle Lu... has to work overtime tomorrow."
Fang Qing's smile froze for a moment. She had to work overtime tomorrow; it was probably not an excuse.
It might work to coax a little kid, but she doesn't believe it.
But what identity does she have to expose us? You have to believe it whether you want to or not.
But in just a moment, Fang Qing regained her virtuous wife and loving mother smile.
He patted Wang Chen's head and said, "You, all you do is cling to your Uncle Lu. Uncle Lu has to work and make money, how can he always come to spend time with you?"
