Chapter 454: Chapter 455: Contemptuous Look

Miao Qingqing was very busy that day. The company’s affairs were important, but seeing her mother’s eager longing, she could only slow down the restructuring of the company for now, and let Song Xiaoru handle everything temporarily. As for some important matters, she would deal with them upon her return.

That evening, Song Xiaodong originally wanted to meet with Su Yuya again, but when Miao Qingqing called her, Su Yuya said she had an important friend to meet that night, so she couldn’t join Song Xiaodong and the others for dinner.

After work, Song Xiaodong and the others just grabbed a bite outside and then went to a nearby mall to shop. They were going to the Su family the next day, so Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan always had to pick some gifts.

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan were clearly very happy, radiant with an excitement and anticipation that shone from the inside out. Whenever they saw something a woman might use, both of them would check it out to see if it was suitable to bring for their mother.

Xiao Yingying was enthusiastic in advising them, interested in all the things in the world.

Song Xiaoru also occasionally shared her opinions. Shopping was naturally in women’s nature, and they were all excited about choosing gifts.

Song Xiaodong just followed behind them, almost unnoticed. This was the first time he had ever been so overlooked by Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan.

Of course, Song Xiaodong didn’t mind. His thoughts were also drifting as he watched Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan, suddenly feeling an urge to seek out his own true origins.

What was his family really like, and what could have caused them to abandon him? Could it be that his family had suffered a great misfortune, and should he investigate to avenge his family?

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Yingying came over and took Song Xiaodong’s arm, asking with a smile.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Nothing much, nothing at all. If you see something you like, go ahead and buy it."

"Alright, then I’ll also pick something for myself." Xiao Yingying immediately perked up and joined Miao Qingqing and the others.

"Dongzi, are you worried about something? Are you worried about Qingqing and Xuanxuan?" Song Xiaoru came over and asked softly, noticing immediately that Song Xiaodong was preoccupied.

Song Xiaodong looked at Song Xiaoru, his face brightening into an even more radiant smile, and stretched out his arm to wrap it around her waist, saying, "Nothing much, I just feel so good having a sister like you around."

"What’s gotten into you?" Song Xiaoru started, pulling away Song Xiaodong’s hand and giving him a stern look.

Song Xiaodong grinned and said, "Nothing’s wrong, just having a family member nearby is enough for me."

Song Xiaoru’s heart skipped a beat, feeling there was more to what Song Xiaodong had said.

Seeing the change in Song Xiaoru’s expression, and realizing he had startled her, Song Xiaodong quickly wrapped his arms around her waist again and said cheerfully, "Sis, having you by my side is all I need."

Song Xiaoru looked at Song Xiaodong, her expression somewhat stiff. Having grown up with him, she knew Song Xiaodong too well and guessed right away what he was thinking.

"Dongzi..." Song Xiaoru opened her mouth, but found herself at a loss for words.

Song Xiaodong, still embracing Song Xiaoru, walked toward Miao Qingqing and the others, saying cheerfully, "Come on, let’s go help them pick something out, and also buy something for you, sis," deftly changing the subject.

They shopped until after ten before everyone finally returned home laden with purchases and arranged everything, only then did they go to their rooms to sleep.

After taking a bath, Miao Qingqing returned to the room and lay directly on Song Xiaodong’s chest, smilingly said, "Dongzi, I’m still so excited now, I can meet my mom tomorrow."

Song Xiaodong stroked Miao Qingqing’s hair and said, "I see you’ll hardly sleep tonight."

Miao Qingqing replied, "Yes, yes, I’m not at all sleepy right now, I’m really too excited in my heart."

"Hehe, Qingqing, you will be the Su Family’s young mistress in the future, won’t you dump me after you go back?"

Miao Qingqing lightly smacked Song Xiaodong and playfully said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do that? Besides, the Su Family is the Su Family, even if I recognize this kinship, I am still me, Qingyuan Group is my root; I won’t be playing any Su Family’s young mistress."

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "I’m just afraid that many things won’t be up to you then, big families like the Su Family tend to have many rules."

Miao Qingqing laughed, "That won’t happen, my aunt already told us, we’re just recognizing kinship, affirming that we’re part of the Su Family, they won’t interfere with our freedom in the future."

Song Xiaodong smiled and did not elaborate further on this matter; he had previously encountered big families and even treated a few of their members, so he knew a bit about these big families, the bigger the family, the more rules they had.

Families like the Ding family could only be considered small-time local tyrants in comparison to the real big families, whose enormity couldn’t even compare to families like the Ding family.

The Su Family was such a big family, and there were many such families in Beijing. The Su Family ranked among the top ten in the entire Beijing Families, it was not so simple.

"Dongzi, since I can’t sleep anyway, let’s..." Miao Qingqing’s hand had already become restless.

Miao Qingqing was not usually proactive in bed, almost every time it was Song Xiaodong who initiated, and she would passively agree; her taking the initiative today was truly rare.

Song Xiaodong naturally had no reason to refuse, and that night, the two of them were busy five or six times before Miao Qingqing finally fell asleep exhausted.

The next day, Song Xiaodong took Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan to the airport, Su Yuya was already waiting there.

Su Yuya smiled and said, "Alright, let’s go inside, say goodbye to your boyfriend." Her gaze carried a subtle depth of meaning.

Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes, went over to embrace Miao Qingqing, then held Miao Xuanxuan, and finally approached Su Yuya, saying, "Aunt, have a smooth journey."

"Alright, goodbye." Su Yuya waved her hand and turned to leave.

Song Xiaodong took a step forward and whispered in Su Yuya’s ear, "I don’t care what the Su Family’s intention is, but I only know one thing, no one can force Qingqing and Xuanxuan to do things they don’t like."

Su Yuya turned to look at Song Xiaodong, her eyes narrowed, then she gave a faint smile, said nothing, and walked directly to the security checkpoint, but her eyes clearly carried a scorn, a disdain that did not take Song Xiaodong seriously.
