Chapter 297: 297. Mr. Fu is jealous again (Chapter 19)

Peter shook his head in resignation; Allen really seemed addicted to being mistreated. He could easily dominate and be a king of the mountain, yet here he was, posing as some lovelorn Romeo. Now, he couldn’t even be bothered to speak his mind. Let things be what they will; when his leg gets crippled again, Peter would be relieved of his worries.

Allen’s face remained grim throughout the journey. In his hand, he caressed a jade pendant, his gaze only tender when he looked at it.

"Hey Allen, where did you get that jade pendant? Let me take a look." Peter had long known that Allen had such a treasured item, but he’d never taken a close look.

With a cold glance, Allen hung the pendant around his neck, placing it right over his heart.

Peter smirked, "Look at how stingy you are."

"But Allen, don’t say I didn’t warn you—your leg isn’t strong enough to handle this kind of strain. If you don’t want it completely ruined, you’d better leave as soon as possible," Peter said seriously.

Allen fell silent, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "I know. I’ll go back tomorrow."

Peter raised his eyebrows in surprise. He was so agreeable this time? Most importantly, did Allen, that freak, really come all this way just to take one glance at her and leave?

He had thought Allen had come to Beijing to take Shen Qinglan back with him, but the man just looked and left. It was almost unbelievable.

Allen had considered taking Shen Qinglan back with him, but he knew her too well. Even if he could take her back, the outcome would just be a disastrous end, and he could never bear to hurt Shen Qinglan, even though she was now married to another man, bearing his children.

Xiaoqi, what should I do with you? Allen closed his eyes, concealing the deep pain within.

When Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi arrived home, the Shen family and Gu Bowen were already there. Shen Qinglan even saw an unexpected figure there.

"Haohao," Shen Qinglan called out. However, this time, Little Douding did not run to her as usual. Instead, he simply looked up and said, "Aunt."

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows slightly and sat down beside Little Douding. "What’s wrong, Haohao? Are you unhappy?"

Little Douding nodded, his head down, his entire body radiating displeasure. Shen Qinglan softly asked, "Can you tell Aunt what happened? Why are you unhappy?"

Little Douding looked up at Shen Qinglan, "Aunt, my mommy has a boyfriend now, but he’s not Uncle Jiang."

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Who told you that?"

"My mommy told me herself. She even took me to have dinner with her boyfriend. Aunt, I don’t like that man. I like Uncle Jiang," Little Douding said sadly.

"Why don’t you like that uncle? Is he not nice?"

Little Douding shook his head, "It’s not that he’s not nice, but I can feel that he doesn’t like me. He’s very kind to me in front of mommy, but I can still feel that he actually doesn’t like me."

They say children’s feelings are the most acute. Shen Qinglan naturally believed what Little Douding said. It seemed that Pei Yinong and Jiang Chenxi really had no chance. She had thought something could happen between the two of them.

"Did you tell your mommy that you don’t like that uncle?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"I told mommy. I also told her that the uncle doesn’t like me, but mommy doesn’t believe me."

Hearing this, Shen Qinglan understood immediately. Probably Pei Yinong thought Little Douding was purposely saying this because he liked Jiang Chenxi.

"Plus, I haven’t seen Uncle Jiang in a long time. Aunt, do you think my mommy and Uncle Jiang have broken up?"

What was Shen Qinglan supposed to say? As far as she knew, Jiang Chenxi and Pei Yinong had never been together, so there was no question of a breakup.

"Aunt, I really do like Uncle Jiang a lot. I want him to be my daddy," Little Douding’s voice choked up a bit.

Shen Qinglan pulled his small body into her arms and spoke softly, "Haohao, no matter how good Uncle Jiang is, or how much you like him, if mommy doesn’t like him, it’s useless. It’s like a lollipop that you love to eat. You like it, but others might not. We can’t force others to eat something they don’t like, right?"

Little Douding hung his head in silence, but his mood seemed to improve. He wiped at his eyes, clearing the tear that had formed, "Aunt, I understand. Uncle Jiang is the lollipop. I like it, but mommy doesn’t. She likes a different kind of candy. Even though I don’t like it, I shouldn’t stop her from eating it, right?"

Well, theoretically that’s true, though Shen Qinglan felt there was something off about it.

"Yes, so Haohao, we should understand mommy and not be angry with her, okay?"

Little Douding’s cheeks were somewhat red, clearly embarrassed, "Auntie, I understand, I will apologize to Mommy when I get back."

These past few days, Pei Yinong had also been agitated about this matter. Since the last time she met with Jiang Chenxi, she thought it over and still felt a bit uneasy. Just then, someone began to pursue her- a colleague from the same unit who was aware of her family situation, so Pei Yinong agreed.

Originally, she planned to have her son meet this man first. If the two got along well, she would continue the relationship. If they could not get along, then she couldn’t waste the man’s time.

She hadn’t anticipated Little Douding’s strong reaction. When he came back, he told her that he didn’t like the man, that he was not as good as Uncle Jiang. In short, he was dissatisfied and didn’t like him. Pei Yinong was so annoyed that she rarely raised her voice at Little Douding, but after doing so, she immediately regretted it. Since her son was born out of wedlock, she always felt she owed him something, never willing to hit or berate him; yet she had yelled at him for an outsider. Pei Yinong deeply regretted it.

But this time Little Douding was truly angry, even ignoring his beloved Mommy. These few days, neither of them was happy.

Chu Yunrong happened to visit the Pei Family today, and Little Douding said he wanted to visit Shen Qinglan and his little brother at the Shen Family’s home, so Chu Yunrong brought him along.

Shen Qinglan touched Little Douding’s soft hair and spoke gently, "To know your mistakes and correct them is to be a good child. In the future, you can talk things over with Mommy slowly. You can’t be angry with Mommy, and you definitely can’t ignore her, understand?"

Little Douding obediently nodded his head and looked at Shen Qinglan’s belly, "Auntie, how is little brother?"

Shen Qinglan smiled slightly, "Little brother is doing very well."

"Auntie, has brother grown bigger? Why can’t I see him?" asked Little Douding curiously. His grandmother had told him that his little brother was inside Auntie’s belly, and would grow gradually, making Auntie’s belly very big.

Hearing this, Shen Qinglan chuckled, "Because little brother is still very small right now. When he grows a bit more, Auntie’s belly will get bigger."

When Fu Hengyi walked over, he heard his wife discussing the child in her belly with a little tyke, even letting Little Douding feel her stomach. Fu Hengyi saw the little hand on his wife’s belly and his expression darkened a bit.

Shen Qinglan found it quite amusing. It was just a child, and they were separated by thick clothes. Yet the man was getting jealous. She wondered if she gave birth to a son, whether he would be jealous of his own son in the future.

Later events proved that Miss Shen was absolutely correct. After Fu Mengbao was born, the battle for favoritism between Mr. Fu and his son officially commenced.

"Uncle." Little Douding saw Fu Hengyi and called out, then climbed onto him, "Uncle, Auntie’s belly has grown, brother has gotten bigger." He seemed excited. He was the only child in his generation, with no siblings. After going to nursery, seeing many classmates with brothers or sisters, he had longed to have one himself.

Fu Hengyi supported his waist to prevent him from falling, "How do you know it’s a little brother?" Little Douding was particularly adamant about the gender of the child in Qinglan’s belly, always referring to it as a little brother.

"It’s definitely a brother. I just feel that it’s a brother in Auntie’s belly. I even dreamed about him."

Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan could not help but laugh, sometimes a child’s innocent words were indeed very funny.

Although it was Fu Hengyi’s birthday, the Fu Family did not intend to make a big deal of it. It was just a dinner with both families.

"Bo Wen, do you and Jingting plan to have another wedding ceremony?" During the meal, Chu Yunrong asked Gu Bowen.

Gu Bowen spoke gently, "Jingting and I have discussed it. We decided not to have another wedding ceremony. When my leg is a bit better, we’ll just invite friends and family for a meal."

This was Fu Jingting’s wish. She was almost fifty, and thought it would be embarrassing to have another wedding ceremony. Having a meal was sufficient to announce it to everyone.

"That sounds nice. Seeing you and Jingting together again makes all of us very happy," Chu Yunrong said with a smile.

Gu Bowen and Fu Jingting exchanged glances, their eyes filled with smiles and a touch of emotion.

In the evening, when Pei Yinong came to pick up Little Douding, she heard her son apologizing. After he fell asleep, she called Shen Qinglan and expressed her gratitude.

"Qinglan, thank you. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do with this child."

"Cousin, it’s nothing. Haohao is a sensible boy. I talked with Haohao, and he genuinely doesn’t like your new boyfriend. It’s not because of Jiang Chenxi, but because that man doesn’t like him. They say a child’s intuition is sharpest, and Haohao is a sensitive child. Cousin, I suggest you seriously consider what Haohao said."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Qinglan."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yinong looked at her sleeping son and sighed softly. She knew that Jiang Chenxi was very good, both to her and to Haohao, but... it was precisely because he was so good that she felt she couldn’t be with him.

"Haohao, you have no idea how much Mommy loves you," Pei Yinong whispered, bending down to kiss her son’s little cheek.
