Chapter 359: 364 Confronting the Mistress2_1

So, does she, Zhou Ziqing, think she’s great, outperforming me?

With no change in her emotion, Lin Xiangwan looked at the baby lying on the hospital bed who seemed to have regained life. "Why is Duoduo sick again?"

"Hmm..." Zhou Ziqing only made a sound and said nothing more.

Lin Xiangwan really was concerned about what had happened to Duoduo. She saw children as little angels, and no normal person would wish harm upon a child.

Before Zhou Ziqing could say anything, she started shedding tears. "The child... accidentally swallowed a necklace!"

"A necklace?" Lin Xiangwan asked in surprise. "What necklace?"

At this moment, Lin Xiangwan didn’t think much about which necklace it was and who gave it. She was only concerned about what exactly Duoduo had swallowed.

Zhou Ziqing sneered in her heart and thought: I don’t know if you, Lin Xiangwan, are intentionally pretending to know nothing in front of me, but I will never miss an opportunity to provoke you. If you have no reaction or no power to fight back, then you are too stupid and should be bullied by me. If you are indeed intentionally provoking me, I’ll break the news to you that your action will be like an egg trying to hit a rock.

Zhou Ziqing sniffled and spoke uncomfortably. "This is the necklace Duoduo’s father bought for her. He’s just being kind, wanting to buy something valuable for his child."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiangwan felt as if her heart had been stabbed heavily, generating a series of chain reactions. She felt like she was going to explode.

It must be that necklace.

Then Zhou Ziqing took out the necklace, which was made of gold.

Seeing the bright golden color, Lin Xiangwan’s heart sank again. Seeing the Hello Kitty pattern on it, she was hit by an agonizing pain.

"Look, it’s this one. It’s a limited edition. When it was not in stock, Duoduo’s father reserved it!" Zhou Ziqing showed off the necklace, allowing Lin Xiangwan to get a clear look.

Lin Xiangwan decisively saw it this time. The pendant indeed had a kitten pattern.

"Is it beautiful?" Zhou Ziqing asked.

Lin Xiangwan nodded her head. "Beautiful!"

Now she felt as if her heart was ready to burst with all kinds of pain. She felt like it would shatter if someone touched it lightly.

Qin Muchuan, you indeed love Duoduo very much, so very much!

So much so that it makes her, Lin Xiangwan’s, eyes ache, as if tears were about to flow out.

No, she must not cry. That would be too weak, wouldn’t it?

If Zhou Ziqing saw her cry, wouldn’t she be overjoyed?

She couldn’t give Zhou Ziqing the satisfaction!

A mix of emotions overwhelmed Lin Xiangwan, leaving her unable to articulate her feelings.

Even so, she forced herself to appear strong and indifferent. "Not bad, Duoduo’s father actually has a bit of conscience!"

Zhou Ziqing smiled, a smile that showed her absolute happiness. "Yes, I always thought that having Duoduo may cause her father to reject her. But he has been very supportive. Whenever Duoduo fell ill previously, I just had to call him, and he would rush over!"

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan let out a laugh. "I guess he must be afraid of divine retribution!"

Zhou Ziqing shyly lowered her head. "I think he may still have feelings for me, unresolved feelings perhaps. He said he likes me and always has."

"Oh!" Lin Xiangwan didn’t want to hear her bragging anymore. She’d rather believe Zhou Ziqing was just trying to provoke her.

Besides, even if Qin Muchuan wanted to be with Zhou Ziqing, so be it. She, Lin Xiangwan, no longer cared about Qin Muchuan. As long as she could have the child and get his property, that would be fine!

"Who is Duoduo’s father? You said he’s very rich; I wonder if I might know him. Qin Muchuan is in contact with many business owners in B City, and they all have good relations!" Qin Muchuan tried to steer the conversation towards learning the identity of Duoduo’s father.

Zhou Ziqing’s expression remained blissful. "How would it benefit you to know? Can you persuade him to divorce his wife and marry me?"

Lin Xiangwan smiled and held Zhou Ziqing’s hand. "Ziqing, I didn’t understand you before, but now my thinking has changed. I truly believe you love Duoduo’s father. If I ever meet this man and you think I can help, I will definitely try to persuade him!"

"Really?" Zhou Ziqing asked uncertainly.

"Of course! I believe that as the parents of Duoduo, you both deserve care and support. It’s his obligation and responsibility!" Lin Xiangwan nodded emphatically.

"Let’s not talk about it, okay?" Zhou Ziqing shook her head.

If she spoke out, would Qin Muchuan become angry? Would he blame her and distance himself from her?

Lin Xiangwan’s gaze became even more steadfast, as if she could see through the vicissitudes of life. "I believe nothing should stand in the way of two people in love reuniting. And if he doesn’t divorce his wife, wouldn’t it be unfair to her?"

That sentence hit a nerve with Zhou Ziqing, and she began to engage much more in their conversation. "That’s right, what’s the point in clinging to a husband who doesn’t love you? Sometimes, I think... his wife is really quite pitiful."

"Ah, why should one woman make life difficult for another?" Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "If Qin Muchuan really cares for his ex-girlfriend, I will let him go. I won’t stand in the way of him and another woman!"

Zhou Ziqing’s eyes lit up, and she asked with uncertainty. "Really, Xiangwan?"

"Of course!" Lin Xiangwan nodded emphatically. "Ziqing, who exactly is Duoduo’s father?"

"It’s..." Zhou Ziqing really wanted to blurt it out.

Lin Xiangwan looked at her intently, attempting to give her some encouragement. Her aim was for Zhou Ziqing to confess that Qin Muchuan was Duoduo’s father.

"It’s..."

"Hmmm?" Lin Xiangwan’s heart was pounding with anxiety.

But Zhou Ziqing’s courage, which she had managed to summon, suddenly faded away. "Forget it. Let’s not say it. Duoduo’s father asked me not to reveal it!"

Lin Xiangwan felt a strong sense of disappointment in her heart. "Oh, it’s fine not to mention it. That’s preserving his privacy, right?"

She pretended not to care too much. "But a few days ago, I met Qiao Junnan, a friend of Qin Muchuan, as well as the husband of a friend of mine. I even advised him that if he truly doesn’t love my friend, then he should get a divorce as soon as possible. That way, they won’t be wasting each other’s youth and time. Ziqing, don’t you think I’m right?"

Zhou Ziqing vigorously nodded. "I think you’re absolutely right!"

"Hmm!" Lin Xiangwan took out a red envelope and placed it at Duoduo’s bedside. "Sister, I didn’t know what to buy, so please help me buy something for Duoduo!"
