Little One Tears the Villain’s Script

I Want to Have a Baby (2)

Jiang Xiaoman was so mad that she pulled on his hair and said angrily, “Don’t even think about it.”

“…” He wasn’t even allowed to think about it, yet she told him to speak his mind? Sigh, women!

Yu Qingshi didn’t say anything else. He wasn’t someone who insisted on doing things his way. Since his wife didn’t want to, then… he would just wait. It was fine.

He had always been very easy to coax, and his temper would disappear overnight.

But this time, Jiang Xiaoman’s conscience suddenly felt bad. She remembered that she had refused him sternly many times, so he should feel upset, right?

That night, Jiang Xiaoman took the initiative to get under his sheets and act coquettishly with him. She said, “Yu Qingshi, I thought about it and feel that not only should we hold a banquet, we should also make it a lively one. Let’s get everyone to come and attend. Would that be good?”

“Yes.”

“We can invite your friends, my friends…” After saying that, Jiang Xiaoman stopped because their circle of friends basically overlapped. Her friends were Yu Qingshi’s friends, so that only left the relatives.

Jiang Xiaoman added, “My relatives and your relatives, they all have to come.”

“Okay.”

He was being really obedient, and Jiang Xiaoman’s conscience was troubled, so she rubbed his chin with her hand and said, “Are you going to take me to see your mother?”

The two have known each other for so many years, but Jiang Xiaoman had never met Yu Qingshi’s mother.

Yu Qingshi’s mother lived alone in a nursing home, and there was a special person in charge of taking care of her, but her condition was very unstable and she was never discharged from the hospital.

Engagement and marriage were such big things, and he should tell his mother.

If it was the Jiang family, even though Mama Jiang Yue was no longer alive, every time Grandma went back to see her, she would tell her what was happening.

When she went to college, when her uncle had a child, and even other miscellaneous happenings; nothing was left out.

Yu Qingshi’s mother was still alive, and Jiang Xiaoman felt that they had to tell her about such a big life event. Even if she wasn’t in her right mind and didn’t remember Yu Qingshi, or didn’t even know what anything meant anymore, they should still go and see her anyway.

When Jiang Xiaoman raised her head to look at Yu Qingshi, her eyes happened to meet his lowered gaze, and she could clearly see the gentleness and fog-like confusion in his eyes.

“What are you afraid of?” Jiang Xiaoman took his hand and whispered, “I will always be with you.”

He was not afraid.

Yu Qingshi touched the back of her head for a long time, then said softly, “Let’s go and visit her.”

He also hadn’t seen his mother for a long time.

When he was a child, Yu Qingshi was very afraid of her, but at the same time he really longed for her.

Everytime he went to visit, they would be separated by a glass wall at the start. There was not any physical contact, because they were afraid that she would suddenly go into a violent outburst and hurt others.

But no child could resist his mother’s temptation. Yu Qingshi wanted to hug her and touch her, so gradually, he asked to go in and see her.

Sometimes she would be very gentle, like a normal mother. She would hold him and sing him lullabies, and talk about when he would grow up.

But sometimes things would turn extreme and scary when she had a relapse, and it always caught him off guard. He couldn’t help trying to get close to her, and after that he would have to endure separation.

Everytime he went, his mood would always be very complicated. It was a mix of love and hate, and made him hate himself.

Gradually, he no longer liked going to see her anymore.

The first reason was that he had grown up, and his life was getting busy. The other reason was that he didn’t know how to face her.

Sometimes he would talk to her on the phone and listen to her voice, then through conversation with the medical staff, he could know whether she was doing well. What food she ate, did she daydream alone the whole day, how many tranquilizers she took… These were the things he was exposed to the most when he was a child.

If she saw Jiang Xiaoman, she would like her too, right?

Jiang Xiaoman’s eyes were always full of energy and vitality. His mother once said that she liked lively children and told him to smile and move around more, and to not always be so sullen and have a cold face. When she was happy, she would force him to smile, saying that his cold look wasn’t good.

Yu Qingshi gently stroked Jiang Xiaoman’s ears, “She will definitely like you.”

“En.”

The sanatorium where Yu Qingshi’s mother was in was in another city, a little further away.

He notified his grandparents from his mother’s side in advance and said that he would take his fiancée to visit his mother, which surprised them.

He suddenly already had a fiancée?

Who was she?

Where was she from?

How old was she? What was she like?

A series of questions came up – there was no way his grandparents wouldn’t be worried. The two of them bombarded him with questions, looking like they wanted to find out everything.

Yu Qingshi answered all their doubts with just one sentence.

Yu Qingshi said, “It’s Jiang Xiaoman.”

Oh, it was Jiang Xiaoman, then it’s all fine.

His grandparents didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, they looked very relieved and asked Yu Qingshi to give Jiang Xiaoman the phone. They wanted to talk to Jiang Xiaoman.

Yu Qingshi’s grandfather and grandmother were very enthusiastic. At first they were a little polite and stiff, but gradually they couldn’t control themselves anymore and began asking Jiang Xiaoman what she liked to eat, what she liked to wear, what her hobbies were etc etc. They told her to come quickly and that they were waiting for her.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoman was still stunned, wondering why these two old people were so enthusiastic.

She cast doubtful eyes on Yu Qingshi.

Yu Qingshi’s ears reddened quietly, and he had no choice but to tell his secret that had been kept for many years.

“I… When I was a kid, every time I went back to see them with my dad during New Year, I would always cry and ask to go home.”

To go home and find Jiang Xiaoman.

This continued every year for so many years. His grandparents were really familiar with Jiang Xiaoman’s name.
