Chapter 365: Chapter 366: For the Sake of Son’s Milk

Song Xiaodong had followed everyone downstairs as well. As his sister, Song Xiaoru felt obliged to give Miao Qingqing an explanation at this point and took the initiative to say, "Xiaodong, just now Yingying’s father mentioned something here."

"Oh? What’s that?" Song Xiaodong seemed preoccupied, appearing somewhat distracted.

"Pay attention, just now Yingying’s father came here to propose a marriage for her."

"Oh, a marriage proposal... What? A marriage proposal?" Song Xiaodong exclaimed in surprise.

Miao Xuanxuan curled her lip and said, "Yes, they said that as long as you marry Xiao Yingying, the entire Xiao Corporation would be yours. You’d be killing two birds with one stone."

Song Xiaodong rubbed his nose and said, "It does seem that way. This really would be a huge windfall."

"Hey, Song Xiaodong, what do you mean by that?" Miao Xuanxuan reached out and pinched the soft flesh around Song Xiaodong’s waist, looking quite threatening.

"Cough cough... Don’t pinch, don’t pinch. I was just joking. I’ve always thought of Yingying as a sister; I’ve never thought about marrying her."

Song Xiaodong hurriedly explained, finding Miao Xuanxuan’s fierceness oddly enjoyable deep down.

At that moment, Song Xiaoru, with a serious expression, said, "Xiaodong, I hope you won’t be indecisive or two-time anyone. Stick with the person you like. If you don’t like Yingying, then make it clear early on so as not to lead her on."

Song Xiaodong, who was most afraid of Song Xiaoru, quickly replied, "I understand. I’m really good with Qingqing, aren’t I, Qingqing?" He said this as he went over and wrapped his arm around Miao Qingqing’s shoulder.

Miao Qingqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Hmph, don’t play dumb with me. I’m warning you, if you dare fool around outside, you’ll see how I deal with you."

"Ah, the roar of the Hedong lioness. Having a fierce girlfriend like this means even if I had the intent, I sure wouldn’t have the guts," Song Xiaodong said, glancing at Miao Xuanxuan.

Miao Xuanxuan pretended not to notice and kept a smile on her face.

Seeing Song Xiaodong essentially make his stance clear, Song Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You must be tired, too. Go have dinner soon so you can replenish your strength."

After dinner, as it was getting late, everyone started getting ready to rest. Song Xiaodong, as usual, went to Miao Qingqing’s room.

The two of them lay directly on the bed, and Song Xiaodong’s hand reached up under Miao Qingqing’s nightgown.

Miao Qingqing had grown accustomed to this over the days and even enjoyed the sensation. Aside from the benefits for breast enhancement, every massage Song Xiaodong gave her was indescribably comfortable.

But today, Miao Qingqing could tell that Song Xiaodong was different from usual. He wasn’t massaging as forcefully as he typically did, which made her feel a bit unsettled. Could it be that this guy was thinking of doing something else?

She looked up at Song Xiaodong and saw that his eyes were squinted, as if pondering something, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"I think there’s something fishy about the fire at Yingying’s place," Song Xiaodong whispered back.

"Fishy? Do you mean someone set the fire on purpose?" Miao Qingqing was quite sharp in all matters except for those of the heart.

"Yeah, at the time of the fire, there were only Yingying and a maid at home. The bodyguard who always took care of her wasn’t there, and the fire clearly started from the second floor. The maid was on the first floor, and only Yingying was on the second, so how did the fire start?"

"Doesn’t that mean... someone is trying to kill Yingying?" Miao Qingqing suddenly became tense.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Yeah, if my guess is correct, this must be Xiao Zhiming’s doing."

Miao Qingqing furrowed her brows and said, "Xiao Zhiming is Xiao Haiqing’s nephew, he has been working in Xiao Corporation for years, and is highly regarded by Xiao Haiqing, why would he want to kill Yingying?"

"You can’t figure it out?" Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Qingqing.

"Are you saying... if Xiao Zhiming gets rid of Xiao Yingying, then he becomes the legal heir to Xiao Corporation, and after Xiao Haiqing passes away, Xiao Corporation would naturally become his," she said.

"Exactly! Otherwise, why would he bear such hostility towards me? Yingying wasn’t expected to live for more than a year or two. If I hadn’t shown up, he would have had no problems at all. Now that I can cure Yingying, his dreams are about to be dashed. So, it’s no surprise that he did something like this in desperation."

"This Xiao Zhiming is really ruthless," Miao Qingqing said with a face full of indignation.

Song Xiaodong said, "I don’t have any evidence yet, I’ll have to look into it later."

Miao Qingqing said, "This kind of person is indeed very dangerous because he is right beside you, never knowing when he might do something bad."

"Why does that sound like you’re implying something?" Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes at Miao Qingqing.

"Am I wrong? What are your hands doing?" Miao Qingqing glared at Song Xiaodong, then suddenly let out a low cry, her face turned red, and her body softened as she protested, "Don’t pinch there, it’s so uncomfortable."

"I’m not just pinching for no reason, this is to facilitate breastfeeding in the future. Many women experience congestion here after giving birth, it’s better to clear it up early," he explained.

"You’re disgusting, you lecher, I don’t want to have kids with you so soon. Besides, even if I were to have kids, I would use formula milk, I wouldn’t breastfeed like this."

"Well, you’re wrong there, breastfeeding is the healthiest for a child’s development," he countered.

"Of course I know that, but I’m too busy, I don’t have the time to breastfeed every day. Hey, be gentle, I can’t take it." Miao Qingqing’s mouth was agape, her cheeks flushed, this guy was teasing her just like that night two years ago.

"How about... we have one now?" Song Xiaodong winked.

"No way, no way... you big bully, let me go, or I won’t be nice to you," Miao Qingqing threatened, though her body was too soft to put up much resistance.

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "How won’t you be nice to me? By pushing me down? I actually rather like that."

"You lecher, I’m going out." Miao Qingqing stretched her leg and kicked Song Xiaodong straight off the bed.

Song Xiaodong sat on the floor, somewhat dazed, while Miao Qingqing laughed out loud, saying, "That’s what you get for teasing me, no massage for you tonight. Hurry back and take care of your Little Yingying."

Song Xiaodong stood up, chuckled dryly, and said, "Then I’m heading back."

"Go on, if anything happens to her here, I would be responsible. Hmph, but let me warn you, you better behave yourself. If you dare do anything to her, I’ll see how I deal with you."

Today is another six-Chapters day. Everyone is enjoying the New Year, yet here I am, working hard on writing. Don’t I deserve some praise?
