Chapter 35: It’s Too Troublesome to Raise a Child
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What about you? Do you want this child?”
Liu Jingxing didn’t lie to her and told her the truth. “I don’t want him.” It was too troublesome to raise a child. Every day, she had to take care of his food, sh*t, and sleep. He also had to pay attention to whether the child was unhappy or bullied. Living with a child was more troublesome than living with a woman. He didn’t like children. “If you want to keep him, then keep him.”
Ming Yue nodded. “I want to keep him. Your family will treat him well when he’s born, right?”
Liu Jingxing smiled at her question. “What do you think? He’s my first child and the first child of the Liu family. I’m afraid that he will be spoiled rotten by my family.”
Whether he liked the baby or not was one thing, but taking on the responsibility was another. If this child really was born, he would definitely take good care of him. Didn’t he grow up like this? Wasn’t he quite outstanding now? Naturally, his child wouldn’t be bad either.
Because of guilt, Liu Jingxing pursed his lips and said, “When do you plan to get a divorce, after the baby is born, or now? I’ll listen to you. You don’t have to think about my family.” She was a victim like him, so he wouldn’t compromise with his grandma on this matter.
“But there’s one thing. You have to stay here until you give birth. Otherwise, I’ll be worried.”
Ming Yue did not expect Young Master’s attitude to change so quickly after the truth was revealed. However, on second thought, it was not completely unexpected. When she saw the young master as a child, he had never bullied her. Occasionally, he would treat her to snacks when he was in a good mood.
Although her father had described the young master as a fierce and unreasonable young man, in Ming Yue’s opinion -other than the misunderstanding two months ago – the young master did not bully her.
“Let’s get a divorce after I give birth. Otherwise, it’ll be troublesome during the prenatal checkup.”
Liu Jingxing had no objections. “Alright, we’ll do it your way.” He took out his cigarette box and went to the corridor. He smoked three cigarettes in one go. “I’ll go to work.” Ming Yue nodded. It was not even six o’clock yet. The young master had accompanied her to see her grandmother today and returned to the old residence to catch the real culprit. He was delayed for quite a bit and would probably have to work overtime tonight.
Liu Jingxing walked to the entrance and thought of something. He stopped. “I’ll be very busy tonight. Sleep early and don’t wait for me. I won’t video call Grandma today.”
“Got it.”
As expected, Liu Jingxing worked overtime until late at night. Ming Yue slept at ten o’clock and did not see him return before she went to bed. The next day, when she made breakfast, she only made her own portion. Today, she made tomato and egg with rice. At eight o’clock, the master bedroom door was pushed open from the inside. The young master rubbed his temples and came out.
The spoon in Ming Yue’s hand stopped in mid-air as she stared at him blankly. Liu Jingxing glanced at the rice in her bowl and walked to the kitchen for the first time. “Is there more?”
“No, I only made one serving.”
Liu Jingxing stopped in his tracks and stared at her. “Are you throwing a tantrum?” She had clearly made his share of breakfast before, but after he apologized yesterday, she did not make any for him.
“No, I didn’t know you were home,” Ming Yue said as she got up. “There’s still some rice. I’ll make it for you if you want to eat. It won’t take long.”
Liu Jingxing worked overtime until midnight last night and forgot to eat. His stomach was already empty. “Thank you.” He pulled out a chair and sat down. He looked at the kitchen. Ming Yue put on a light pink apron and busied herself. Soon, she brought out a bowl of tomato and egg with rice.
It was a big bowl with a pattern of koi fish playing with water. It was so old fashioned, and it was obvious that Ming Yue had bought it. The fragrance of the steaming rice wafted into his nose, and soon, his sense of smell was invaded by the fragrance. Liu Jingxing frowned, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
This simple and ordinary life reminded him of his subordinate’s Moments [1. A ‘moments’ is like Twitter’s timeline, but on WeChat]. On the ordinary dining table was a bowl of braised pork ribs with a fragrant aroma.
[I announce that the braised pork ribs made by my wife are the best braised pork ribs in the world! Hehehe, I love you, baby.]
Liu Jingxing could imagine his subordinate’s silly smile through the screen. He usually giggled foolishly in the company. The scene was extremely vivid.
In the past, he would never have thought that he would one day live such a life. However, he and Ming Yue were legally husband and wife, and they were also husband and wife in reality. Between them and a real husband and wife, they only lacked the most important thing—feelings. Thinking about how she said last night that she did not like him and that she had someone she liked, Liu Jingxing felt inexplicably upset.
Forget it. It was already good enough that she did not care about the past and did not argue with him. She even made breakfast for him. Ming Yue was indeed as Zheng Ziheng had described. She was a kind and good girl.
