Chapter Sixteen If You Were Mommy

't know why she felt differently towards Qin Jingwen. She wasn't as disgusted with her as before. 。As to why she wasn't quite sure, maybe it was just those things she said earlier that touched a nerve...After playing with her child until the afternoon, Qin Jingwen took half a month home. However, Xuanxuan was reluctant to leave.

"Daddy, can I stay at Auntie's house for one night"

Jozi Xuan pleaded with Qiao Shunchen, but he felt his hope was slim because Daddy rarely agreed to his requests.

"No..."

"Sure..."

Qiao Shunchen and Qin Jingwen almost spoke at the same time, one with hope, the other crushing it.

Qin Jingwen raised her eyes and was caught off guard by Qiao Shunchen's angry gaze. Her heart tightened, remembering the wild kiss that had just swept over her.

This man possesses a devilish aura, an irresistible and compelling presence. One must not glance at him too long, lest they become ensnared within it.

Qin Jingwen hurriedly dodged, organizing her erratic heart.

"Do whatever you want."

Qin Jingwen didn't say another word, for fear of being accused of playing tricks.

“……”

However, before Qiao Shunchen could speak, Ban Yue took the lead.

"Uncle, please let my brother come to our house. Just once, just one time, can't you If you're worried, you can come with us."

"Half a month."

Qin Jingwen didn't expect that in half a month, Ban Yue would take the initiative to invite Qiao Shunchen, and she hurriedly stopped her, but it was too late.

"Mommy, Uncle has been playing with us all day. How about you make dinner for him"

The half-month is still the same theory, owing others has to be repaid immediately. This is what Mommy taught her.

"Alright, Uncle, I'm just starving. Let's have dinner at your place tonight."

To everyone's surprise, Qiao Shunchen unexpectedly agreed to Ban Yue's request for half a month. Perhaps he was compensating Ban Yue for her disappointment in him.

Thank you, Daddy!

Of all the people there, Joe Xuen was the happiest. His dad agreed too readily, leaving him feeling happiness came on so suddenly.

Qiao Shunchen dismissed the driver and assistant, personally driving the remaining three to Qin Jingwen's apartment.

After getting off the bus, Qin Jingwen took the two children upstairs first, while Qiao Shunchen had something to attend to and didn't go up with them.

Joe Hsu saw that his father hadn't followed up, and quietly pulled Qin Jingwen's hand.

"Auntie, if you were my mommy, that would be great."

Qin Jingwen unexpectedly looked at Qiao Zixuan.

"Why"

"No reason, just like it."

As for why, Qiao Zixuan didn't know either. He only knew that he really liked being with his aunt. He only knew that his aunt could persuade his dad.

"Don't like Mommy"

The child's answer left Qin Jingwen feeling stifled and confused. She couldn't fathom how such a young child could utter such words.

"Mommy doesn't like me, she never plays with me, never sleeps with me, and never takes me to school... It seems like she has never done anything with me."

Joe Hsueh sighed, his spirits lifting slightly after mentioning his mother.

Joe Xuan's words tugged at Qin Jingwen's heart, she looked at Ban Yue in incomprehension, and Ban Yue also looked at her with a pitiful expression.

"Mommy, brother is so pitiful. I will definitely be nice to him from now on."

"Well, for a month, you must play with your brother more and not let him feel lonely."

Qin Jing continued to instruct Qiao Zixuan after reminding Ban Yue.

"Xianxian, from now on, Auntie will let you experience everything Mommy hasn't done with you."

Gently stroking Qiao Zixuan's head, her heart ached deeply. Such a poor child, even with superior living conditions, he couldn't feel maternal love. He had to endure so much at such a young age.

Back home, Qin Jingwen let the two children play in the living room and started preparing dinner herself.

"Ding dong…"

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

"Half a month..."

"Huanhuan…"

Qin Jingwen was chopping vegetables in the kitchen while calling out to her two children, trying to get them to open the door. But the kids were too engrossed in their play to hear her.

Qin Jingwen turned her head to look at the children who were happily playing. She couldn't bear to disturb them, so she went to open the door herself.

……”

She didn't need to think; she knew who it was outside. She opened the door, glanced at Qiao Shunchen, and without a word, hurried back to the kitchen.

Qin Jingwen returned to the kitchen and glanced at the simmering bone broth. Then, she prepared to continue chopping vegetables, reaching for her knife, but instead of grabbing it, she was unexpectedly caught by Qiao Shunchen's hand.

"What are you up to"

Qin Jingwen nervously refused.

"Come here."

Joe Shun-chen just kept a composed face and directly pulled Qin Jingwen to the chair and sat down.

“I got injured, applied medicine and cooked dinner.”

Qiao Shunchen's seemingly indifferent words touched Qin Jingwen's nerve.

It was a surprise that he hadn't come back with her, only to buy medicine. More surprising still was that such a cold and bone-chilling man would apply medicine to her wounds. It seemed out of character for him, so aloof and austere.

“I’ll do it myself.”

"...."

Joe Shunchen remained silent, not allowing Qin Jingwen to apply the medicine herself.

He used a medical cotton swab dipped in antidote, gently wiping Qin Jingwen's injured back of the hand. Then he carefully stuck on a bandage. Finally, he took out a pair of rubber food-grade gloves from somewhere.

"Put it on, or the wound will get infected if it gets wet."

Leng Ao finished speaking, then got up and went to the living room.

Qin Jingwen was moved by Qiao Shunchen's meticulous and gentle movements. She was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at his back as he walked towards the living room.

This back...

Qin Jingwen was suddenly startled. The back view was strikingly similar to that other one, even the way they walked was identical.

No, no, there are too many similar people in the world, the similarity between these two people is just a coincidence.

Qin Jingwen came back to her senses and continued cooking.

"Xuanxuan, are there any foods you can't eat"

Qin Jingwen walked into the living room to ask Qiao Zixuan, afraid she had made something the child wouldn't like to eat.

"Anything goes, except for sea fish."

Qiao Zi-Xuan was playing with his toys while answering Qin Jingwen.

"Sea fish Why"

Qin Jingwen suddenly became nervous.

He is allergic to sea fish.

Joe Shunchen didn't put down the magazine in his hand, but he answered the question for Joe Zixuan instead.

"...."

Is she allergic to seafood Qin Jingwen was a little shocked.

"Uncle, I'm allergic to sea fish too. I have so many things in common with Brother Xuanxuan."

Qin Jingwen was still in shock, and Ban Yue had almost blurted it out.

Half Moon's words also caught Qiao Shunchen's attention. He raised his eyes in the magazine, looking at Half Moon in disbelief. Then he looked back at Qin Jingwen, whose face was full of shock, which made him very concerned.

Qin Jingwen inexplicably felt a fluttering in her chest, her mind racing and swirling with confusion.

Back in the kitchen, Qin Jingwen was still thinking about "sea fish". The similarities between Xuanxuan and Ban Yue were too numerous, forcing her to remember the child she had given away time and again.

"You're daydreaming again, dinner will be breakfast soon."

Qiao Shunchen's voice suddenly appeared, pulling Qin Jingwen back from her wandering soul.

"Dinner will be ready soon."

"Let me be her father for a while."

Qiao Shunchen's cold opening left Qin Jingwen stunned.

"Hmm…"

The child finished playing a joke.

Qin Jingwen felt a little awkward.

"I declined."

Qiao Shunchen still said coldly.

"Refusal's due."

"If you want to seduce me, just come yourself. Don't use the child as a stepping stone."

Joe Shunchen's cold face instantly tightened, his tone a clear warning.

"You..."

"Fine, I admit it. I was tempting you. I came back to work because I knew you applied for the position at this company. I had planned this all along. Are you satisfied now"

“...”

Qiao Shunchen's face was instantly covered in frost, his black eyes darkening and radiating a chilling aura. waiting for Qin Jingyi. 。"Thanks so much to Jingyi, today I let her rest well, and I also asked Sunxu to buy some supplements for her." 。" Qiao Shunchen said words of thanks and came to Qin Jingwen...
