Chapter 152. Do you think I’m dead?

Chapter 152: 152. Do you think I’m dead?

Xiao Qiao Yi blinked his big, dark eyes. Even though he was obviously talking nonsense, Qiao Xu couldn’t bear to scold him with that serious expression on his face.

The word "stepfather" was something he had just learned a few days ago from watching TV, and now he was using it.

Qiao Xu gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Moqing, who had no intention of refusing Qiao Yi’s words. Her expression grew colder, and she said sharply, "Lu Moqing, say something!"

"What should I say?"

Lu Moqing looked up at Qiao Xu, his thin sculpted lips hooking slightly. "Should I say that I am his real father and not his stepfather?"

Qiao Xu choked on his words, unable to admit or deny it.

Qiao Yi looked at the two adults in front of him and then fixed his gaze on Qiao Xu. He said seriously, "Xuxu, stop being picky. I think this uncle suits you well. Most importantly, I look like him, so people won’t think that I was born from another man."

Qiao Xu: "..."

Lu Moqing: "..."

Child, you were never born from another man.

Looking into her son’s expectant eyes, Qiao Xu knew deep down that he had always longed for a father’s presence like the other children, despite him never mentioning it.

She opened her mouth and looked at Qiao Yi with a serious expression, saying, "Qiao Yi, didn’t you say that if mommy doesn’t like a man, you won’t like him either?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yi immediately nodded without hesitation. Lu Moqing, seeing where the conversation was heading, furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

"Good."

Qiao Xu nodded in satisfaction and pointed at Lu Moqing, saying, "Qiao Yi likes this man, but mommy doesn’t. Can Qiao Yi not force mommy?"

Now, Qiao Yi’s face was filled with noticeable hesitation. He looked at Lu Moqing’s handsome face with furrowed brows and clear eyes. After a moment of silence, he still seemed unwilling to give up so easily.

Then he turned to Qiao Xu, pursed his little lips and asked, "Won’t Xuxu consider it?"

"No need to consider."

Qiao Xu answered without any hesitation. Seeing the disappointment in Qiao Yi’s eyes, she quickly added, "Mommy promises that she will find someone for Qiao Yi who both he and mommy like to be his dad, okay?"

This time, Lu Moqing, who had been holding back, finally couldn’t take it anymore. He shot Qiao Xu a cold glance and said, "Qiao Xu, do you think I’m dead?"

Qiao Xu gave him an indifferent look, as if to say "I’ve considered you dead long ago."

Lu Moqing slammed his chopsticks onto the dining table and stood up from his chair, his face darkening. He grabbed Qiao Xu’s arm, his deep eyes filled with a cold, sinister air. "Haven’t you noticed that my temper has improved lately?"

As he spoke, his lips almost touched Qiao Xu’s face. To anyone who didn’t know better, they seemed to be intimate and ambiguous. The warm breath that escaped his lips touched her cheeks, spreading to her ears, making her feel a mixture of tingles and numbness.

Qiao Xu frowned and felt repulsed by this feeling. Seeing her son’s curious eyes on them, she decided not to let him know more about her relationship with Lu Moqing. She quickly turned to the young nanny and said, "Xiao Lin, take Qiao Yi up to take a bath."
