Seeing the annoying dog GIF, Lu Tianxing’s mouth curved up slightly with a faint smile, as if he could picture a quirky girl holding her cell phone, typing away and grinding her teeth at the phone.
"Really? How am I talking nonsense? I don’t recall who it was that hugged me in the middle of the street, crying and shouting not to leave me, also claiming to be pregnant with my child, and even said they would marry me for life. Is that person you, Qiaoqiao?"
In a luxurious villa in Beijing, Qiaoqiao lay on her bed holding her phone. Reading the message from Lu Tianxing, a blush crept up her pretty face. This was the scene when she first met Lu Tianxing. She had intended to make him look foolish, but instead, she ended up being outwitted by him and even got her little butt smacked a few times.
Thinking of this, Qiaoqiao felt a wave of shyness, her bottom burning as if it still hurt. She bared her teeth and grimaced at her phone as if it were Lu Tianxing himself.
"Uncle, what are you even talking about! How could that person be me? I’m still underage! How could I have a baby? But, Uncle, did you have a good time last time? I seemed to see your wife very angry beside you. Aren’t you afraid she’ll beat you up for chatting with me this time?"
"Afraid of what? I’m not boasting, but I’m the boss at home. What I say goes. If she dares to say anything, I’ll immediately enforce the family rules and teach her the ’Three Obediences and Four Virtues’ and the ’proper roles of a husband and wife’ within minutes," he bragged.
Reading Lu Tianxing’s reply, Qiaoqiao giggled, "Uncle, who are you kidding? You’re the one who’s obedient to your wife at home. But hey, Uncle, if you’re not scared, then turn on the video. I have some new ’benefits’ to show you. Oh right, there’s also my mom in a swimsuit. Do you want to take a peek?"
The message from Qiaoqiao made Lu Tianxing involuntarily gasp for air. The image of Shen Manjun’s alluring face and her figure that fit the golden ratio surfaced in his mind, kindling a burst of lust within him.
It seemed that ever since that glimpse in the changing room in Xiangjiang, he hadn’t seen Shen Manjun, a woman exuding elegance and captivating charm, again. He wondered how this woman, who radiated a seductive aura from inside out, was faring now.
"Uncle, why aren’t you speaking? Are you really looking forward to it?"
Another message from Qiaoqiao came through.
Lu Tianxing took a few deep breaths, calming the flames in his heart, and replied, "No need, I’m already married. As a married man, ’look not upon what is improper to see, listen not upon what is improper to hear’ is the basic principle of being a good man."
"Please, Uncle, who are you fooling! Do you think I’d believe that? Do you think I didn’t see how you couldn’t move on after seeing my mom? Do you think I didn’t notice?"
Qiaoqiao’s message full of disdain came through, and before Lu Tianxing could reply, another message from Qiaoqiao arrived:
"Not good, my mom is back. Goodbye Uncle, we’ll chat more next time."
With that, Qiaoqiao’s penguin avatar went dark.
Lu Tianxing looked at the darkened avatar speechlessly, shaking his head. He simply closed the penguin app and logged into the game, starting to cause a stir inside the virtual world.
And it was at this time, in a luxurious villa in Beijing, within a pink room filled with a multitude of stuffed dolls.
Qiaoqiao hastily turned off the penguin app, then stuffed her cell phone under the pillow and lay down on the bed. Her face, which had been full of vigor just moments before, instantly lost its brightness, turning dull as she clearly intended to feign illness.
Just as Qiaoqiao finished doing all this, someone suddenly opened the door to the room from the outside, and a tall woman dressed in home attire walked in.
This was an exceptionally beautiful woman, with cascading wavy curls tinted with a faint rose-red, framing a seductively fair face. Every frown and smile emanated an immense charm that, like a fairy, irresistibly captured one’s attention. Yet, she carried an air of nobility that seemed unapproachable. The combination of fairylike charm and regal aura did not feel odd but rather stirred a strong desire to conquer within people, making them yearn to subdue this woman.
The woman’s face was lightly made up, her eyes watery as if always glimmering, and her figure was impeccable. Even in the loose-fitting home clothes, her graceful silhouette was undeniable, and a noble aura, which made others feel inferior, radiated from her. An ordinary person, caught in her gaze, would probably find themselves speechless.
This woman was none other than Qiaoqiao’s mother, Shen Manjun, the future successor of the Shen Family.
"Qiaoqiao, how are you feeling, any better? Do you want Mommy to call the private doctor to check on you again?"
After entering the room, Shen Manjun gently approached Qiaoqiao’s side, touching her forehead with her palm, her tone carrying a strong sense of concern.
"Mommy, I’m fine, just a bit dizzy. I’ll be okay after some rest," Qiaoqiao said softly, her brow furrowed, showing none of the confidence she had while chatting with Lu Tianxing, her entire demeanor now listless.
"Qiaoqiao, I’m sorry, it’s all Mommy’s fault. Mommy has been too busy lately and hasn’t had the time to take care of you."
Seeing her daughter’s state, Shen Manjun showed a trace of self-reproach on her face, gently tidying Qiaoqiao’s somewhat disheveled hair.
"Mommy, it’s not your fault. I know you’ve been working so hard to Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today!"
Qiaoqiao looked at Shen Manjun, as if remembering something, and said, "Mommy, why don’t you find me a new daddy?"
"Qiaoqiao, what are you saying?"
Shen Manjun’s body trembled, she looked at her daughter and said, "Qiaoqiao, why would you suddenly bring this up? Is someone bullying you at school? Tell Mommy."
At this, a flash of sternness crossed Shen Manjun’s face. She had seen many children without fathers being isolated and bullied at school, and if anyone dared to do such a thing, she was determined to make them pay.
Qiaoqiao shook her head gently and said, "I just see how hard you work every day, Mommy. If you found a new daddy, you wouldn’t have to work so hard anymore, and when we get home, I’d have a daddy to keep us company too."
