Chapter 436: 437

Today, Song Xiaodong still had to give Xiao Yingying acupuncture. After exchanging a few words, Song Xiaodong and Xiao Yingying went to her room together.

After the acupuncture was done, Xiao Yingying grabbed Song Xiaodong’s hand and gently pressed it against her chest, smiling sweetly, "Brother Dongzi, I’m so happy today."

"Don’t be too happy, control your emotions," Song Xiaodong’s hand did not pull away.

"Mhm, I know, I need to live well now. Sister Qingqing agreed with me, so I can really be with you in the future, and even in a few years, I could have your children."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "You’re really thinking ahead."

"Can I come in?" Miao Qingqing’s voice came from outside the door at that moment.

"It’s okay, come in," Song Xiaodong responded, removing his hand from Xiao Yingying’s chest and pulled the covers over her.

After Miao Qingqing came in, she sat directly by the bed and asked, "How was the effect today?"

Song Xiaodong replied, "It’s basically stable now, but the efforts in the early stage are wasted."

Miao Qingqing sighed, "That’s good to hear, by the way, I heard you two talking, so I came in. What were you discussing?"

Xiao Yingying smiled sweetly, "We were discussing having children."

"Having children?" Miao Qingqing’s face darkened, "Aren’t you two thinking too far ahead?"

Xiao Yingying quickly said, "Sister Qingqing, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean that I want to sleep with Brother Dongzi right now. My body isn’t ready, and besides, we need your approval for that, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare take the lead."

Miao Qingqing spoke rather awkwardly, "Well... there’s no need for my approval if your body can handle it. However, I still want to remind you, Dongzi is very strong, and if your body isn’t well enough, better... don’t rush into anything."

"Does that mean you can’t handle him alone?" Xiao Yingying immediately brightened up and grabbed Miao Qingqing’s hand.

Miao Qingqing was utterly embarrassed, but since they had exposed their relationships openly today, it seemed that she was less resistant to discussing this topic, "This guy is like a wild bull, indeed hard to handle."

"Then when I get better, we can share the workload, and you won’t have to work so hard."

"Together..." Miao Qingqing’s face darkened, "You really are open-minded."

"Men like it that way, but it’s tough for men with poor health. But you said Brother Dongzi is very strong, so he can handle it. This way, you won’t have to strain yourself, and I can... get closer to Brother Dongzi."

Xiao Yingying spoke openly about her little scheme, leaving Miao Qingqing with nothing to criticize, and this topic was physically tougher for her to discuss, "What were you saying about having children again?"

Xiao Yingying smiled and said, "Here’s what I was thinking, since I don’t have much to do unlike Sister Qingqing who is very busy, naturally, the responsibility of having children would fall on me. I’ll have several children, and it wouldn’t matter if you never have any."

Miao Qingqing chuckled and said, "What are you, a little pig? Planning to have more babies?"

Xiao Yingying replied seriously, "Anyway, I don’t have much else to do, so why not have babies? Besides, having children for Brother Dongzi is such a blissful thing."

Miao Qingqing’s lips twitched slightly, feeling a bit envious of Xiao Yingying, who was simple-minded and centered her whole world around Song Xiaodong, paying no attention to anything else. For her, Song Xiaodong wasn’t everything; she had her career too.

Maybe in the future, letting Xiao Yingying have more children would mean less pressure for herself, and she could focus on developing her own career.

Unknowingly, Miao Qingqing had come to accept Xiao Yingying’s position in the family.

After chatting for a while, Miao Qingqing stood up and said, "Alright, I’m going to rest now. You guys should rest early too."

Xiao Yingying was startled, her face immediately showing joy, but then she quickly said, "No, no, Brother Dongzi, you should go back with Sister Qingqing. I’m still quite worked up right now, and if you stay, I’m really afraid I won’t be able to restrain myself from doing something, which would ultimately harm myself. Wait for my health to improve, then you can stay with me. Usually, just keep me company occasionally."

Miao Qingqing knew that Xiao Yingying was making excuses but also showing her enough respect, so she went along with it and said, "Well, alright then. But now that it’s out in the open, I really won’t hinder you two anymore, and I’ll truly consider you as family."

"Thank you, Sister Qingqing, you’re so kind." Xiao Yingying smiled sweetly and waved at them, revealing a large patch of fair skin on her chest.

Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaodong went back to their room and lay in bed. Miao Qingqing turned to look at Song Xiaodong, her expression unreadable, which really left Song Xiaodong unsure, especially since today’s events had surely been the biggest shock to Miao Qingqing.

"Qingqing, this..." Song Xiaodong cautiously placed his hand on Miao Qingqing’s shoulder.

Miao Qingqing did not shake his hand off, which emboldened Song Xiaodong somewhat, and he said, "Are you upset? If there’s anything you want to say, just speak your mind."

However, Miao Qingqing gently shook her head and then rested her head on Song Xiaodong’s chest.

This left Song Xiaodong pleasantly surprised, and he quickly embraced her, saying, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Are you feeling wronged? Indeed, for a woman as exceptional as you, it’s my honor that you would choose me. And yet I’ve caused such trouble."

Miao Qingqing’s fingers lightly traced Song Xiaodong’s chest as she said, "Dongzi, I suddenly have an inexplicable feeling."

"What feeling?"

"How come I feel like I’m being led by the nose? There are many things I don’t want to face, but I find myself forced to confront them."

Song Xiaodong asked cautiously, "What do you mean by that?"

Miao Qingqing tilted her head back and said, "Like our relationship. I feel like I wouldn’t have done what I did two years ago, but I did. And in this city, we coincidentally met. I couldn’t remember that part of my memory, but suddenly it came back to me, and then we got together. It all seems so inexplicable, including Xiao Yingying. Meeting you was her fortune; she got to continue living, but she inevitably entered our lives too. I feel like there’s an invisible net that has slowly entangled us together."

"This..." Song Xiaodong also felt these events were indeed bizarre.

Miao Qingqing sighed deeply and said, "Maybe this is just some strange fate. So I’ve come to terms with it. It’s just you having another woman, which is definitely better than you secretly keeping a mistress."
