Li Shaobin felt depressed and didn’t want to continue talking to him. At that moment, Yan Wo, who was in his embrace, suddenly started crying. “Aiya, what’s going on?”
“He must’ve peed or pooped. Change his diapers,” Song Chuyi said lazily. “Since you’re his godfather, you have to learn.”
Li Shaobin glared at him. “Didn’t you just say that I’m not his godfather?”
Song Chuyi smiled without saying a word.
Li Shaobin was furious. If Yan Wo grew up and were to ask him one day how he came about being his godfather, was he going to tell Yan Wo: it was because there was one time when you pooped and your father didn’t want to change your diaper so he let me be your godfather?
He wondered if Yan Wo would be driven to his grave.
He took out Yan Wo’s diaper. It was yellow inside and the smell almost made him puke.
Auntie Zhang came over and said, “Forget it, forget it. I’ll change his diaper. You men are so unreliable.”
After saying that, she carried Yan Wo to the side to change his diaper adeptly.
—————————-
When Changqing returned from the broadcasting station in the evening, the first thing she did when she entered the house was pick up her son and kiss him. Song Chuyi was unhappy watching from the side. In the past, the first thing his wife did was kiss him. Now, he no longer got the same treatment.
Li Shaobin took the chance to tell on Song Chuyi. “Changqing, Old Song just said that you like to pretend to know things that you don’t and even said you’re no longer pretty after giving birth.”
Song Chuyi glared at him. “Li Shaobin, when did I say the last line?”
“Old Song, why are you so uptight? You have to admit to it if you said it. Besides, you said that she knows herself and understands that very clearly. ” Li Shaobin looked at Changqing. “I’m not trying to sow discord.”
Changqing didn’t really care about what Song Chuyi said. In any case, he talked bad about her. She glared at him very unhappily. “Fine, you’re so impressive and you know everything? Go ahead and look for some pretty woman. No one will stop you when you’re in the States. You can look for as many as you want.”
“Changqing, don’t listen to his nonsense.” Song Chuyi was frustrated.
Changqing ignored him. She had long been unhappy with Song Chuchu. He even told her to contact Li Shaobin less and even talked bad about Li Shaobin. What a bad fellow. “Brother Shaobin, do you have something you need from me?”
“Of course. I don’t care to ask Old Song for help anymore,” Li Shaobin said sadly. “Ruan Yang has recovered her memory and doesn’t even let me spend the night at her place anymore. Do you have any ideas to help me coax the current Ruan Yang?”
Changqing understood what he meant. The Ruan Yang who had amnesia was easy to coax. After all, she only had her 18-year-old memory. The 26-year-old Ruan Yang was more mature in all aspects and had been hurt too. She was harder to approach. “Did Ruan Yang say she wanted to break up?”
“No, but she said she needs some time to adapt.”
“Then that’s still alright.” Changqing nodded. “According to my understanding of her, if she no longer wants the relationship, she would’ve said it straight away. She’s currently very confused. I think you can take this chance in the coming few days to pursue and strike relentlessly so she won’t have time to overthink and can only accept you…”
“What kind of lousy idea is that?” Song Chuyi couldn’t help but interrupt.
“Don’t talk to me. I don’t want to talk to you right now.” Changqing was very unhappy that her good idea was questioned and was increasingly unhappy with her husband.
Song Chuyi was angry.
Li Shaobin asked, “Right, do you know what Ruan Yang likes?”
“Brother Shaobin, what’s wrong with you? You’ve already been with her for a while; how can you not know anything about what she likes?” Changqing sighed.
“I only know that she likes to eat simply, loves reading, likes it quiet, and likes to stay at home.” Li Shaobin pouted. “Besides, those were things she used to like and it might not be the case anymore.”
Changqing thought for a while and thought he made sense. Just as she was about to say something, she realized her understanding of what Ruan Yang liked was limited to their university days. “Aiya, about that—I’m not sure if you want me to be specific.”
She stuttered. “Ever since we graduated, we’ve each been busy with our own things. Although we’re still very good friends, Ruan Yang always goes along with us whenever we go out. She seems to always put our opinions and suggestions first. She’s meticulous and thoughtful and is always able to settle everything well. So all we need to do is go out and enjoy.”
When Li Shaobin heard that, he also felt like looking down on her. “Don’t tell me your understanding of her is even worse than mine.”
“That’s not it.” Changqing quickly shook her head guiltily. “In any case, I know Ruan Yang is unhappy and needs warmth and companionship. We always spoke about our unhappiness and pain but Ruan Yang wouldn’t. She would always hide by herself somewhere to lick her wounds. Besides, her greatest wish is for her parents to forgive her…”
“Aiya, I got it.” Li Shaobin suddenly palmed his fist. “All I need to do is beg Ruan Yang’s parents to forgive her. That way, Ruan Yang would definitely be touched by me.”
“That’s a great idea.” Changqing nodded. “However, her dad is very stubborn and old-fashioned. He’s very difficult to persuade. Besides, I feel that her parents are a little too much. No matter what, she’s their daughter. Which parents aren’t a sanctuary for their daughter? No matter how bad she is, she’s still their daughter. They’re too heartless and only Ruan Yang would still pine for them.”
“They’re the parents who gave birth to her and brought her up. Sometimes, there’s no choice,” Song Chuyi added lightly. “Just like my mom. Ever since I was young, she’s only ever worked. When has she ever cared about her sons? But she’s still my mom after all.”
Changqing mumbled, “That’s true.”
Li Shaobin said, “Whether they forgive Ruan Yang isn’t important. What’s important is that Ruan Yang knows that I went to beg her parents for her sake. I’ve decided to go over tomorrow morning. On the 29th. Just pretend to bring this up unintentionally when you chat with Ruan Yang, and when she finds out, she might go over too. When she sees me standing outside of her parents’ house pitifully in such cold weather, she’ll definitely be very touched.”
Changqing was stunned. “Brother Shaobin, that’s a little too scheming.”
Song Chuyi scoffed. “Now you finally know that he’s scheming. He even talked bad about me just now.”
“Old Song, you were the one who badmouthed Changqing just now. If that’s not the case, Robben will bite my leg until I become lame when I try to leave,” Li Shaobin swore.
When Changqing heard such a vicious vow, she looked down on Song Chuyi even more. “We’re talking. Stop interrupting.”
Song Chuyi was angry.
Li Shaobin continued to speak. “This isn’t scheming. If I go over now, I’ll have to wait from morning till night. The temperature right now is so cold. Do you think I’ll have it easy?”
“I don’t think you need to wait from morning till night.” Even Changqing was touched. “Alright, alright, since you’re so sincere towards Ruan Yang, just go over and put on an act. Go back to the hotel to sleep tonight and walk around their house in the morning. I’ll let you know immediately when Ruan Yang goes over. You don’t have to suffer and wait there every day.”
“That won’t do. What if one day Ruan Yang makes up with her parents and finds out that I didn’t wait there? She’d be very angry. Alright, that’s decided. I’ll go back tonight and have a good rest before making my way to Guangdong tomorrow.” Li Shaobin stood up.
Changqing was so touched by his love that she couldn’t speak. He would have to wait there for three days and three nights after going over. “Brother Shaobin, come back sooner if you can’t take it.”
“That’s nothing. Back in the day, I even survived in the army no matter how tough it was.” Li Shaobin left the Yan Household without even turning his head back after saying that.
After Changqing watched Li Shaobin leave, she carried Young Master Li upstairs to feed him without even looking at Song Chuyi.
“Are you still angry?” Song Chuyi followed behind her. “I really didn’t say that you’re not pretty. I can swear on it too. If I did say that, Robben will maim my leg.”
Changqing undid her button and ignored him.
Song Chuyi frowned. “Don’t tell me you believe Li Shaobin’s promise but not mine?”
Changqing finally snorted. “I just don’t like the look of you all of a sudden.”
Song Chuyi: “…”
Changqing sighed. “Look at how much suffering Brother Shaobin is willing to go through for Ruan Yang. He’s willing to give it his all. What about you? Forget that you’re petty, but you even badmouthed me. Now that I think about it, I was too easily touched by you back then. Just because you had a dog and gave me another dog, I was so easily subdued by you. If I were to do it again, I’d definitely have to reconsider.”
“How dare you?” Song Chuyi clenched his teeth as his face fell. “Qing Bao, did you forget everything I did for you on the yacht in Shanghai?”
Changqing blinked. “I’d have really forgotten about it if you hadn’t mentioned it.”
Song Chuyi: “…”
He felt like puking blood.
“Alright, alright, Qing Bao, don’t be angry anymore. You look the best to me.” Song Chuyi quickly hugged and coaxed her. “Think about it—I’ll be going to the States after the Spring Festival (1. The Spring Festival is also the Lunar New Year). It’ll be inconvenient for us to meet up after that. We only have less than 20 days together. Let me hold you properly.”
Hearing him say that, Changqing’s eyes reddened. She glared at him. “If it wasn’t because you’re going to the States soon, I wouldn’t forgive you so quickly.”
“Alright, alright.” Song Chuyi smiled and went over to kiss her. “My Qing Bao is getting prettier and prettier.”
Changqing was out of breath from the kiss. She turned her flushed face away. “Enough, both of you. One kissing here and the other kissing there. I can barely breathe.”
Song Chuyi said with a smile, “After I leave, Yan Wo will still be able to eat every day but that won’t be the case for me. Of course you have to kiss me first.”
After saying that, he kissed her again.
