On the third day after the wedding, Xu Dechang and Liu Lingfeng said goodbye and went home.
Lu Jinshen wanted to arrange for a car to send them home directly, but they refused. They said that they hadn't been out for many years and wanted to enjoy the scenery along the way.
At the bus station, Xu Dechang took Lu Ziqian around to play, and Sheng Yufei followed them.
Liu Lingfeng and Tong Qiao sat in the waiting area and chatted, while Lu Jinshen sat beside them.
"Auntie hopes that you and Jin Shen can live happily and peacefully, and give birth to a chubby boy next year."
Tong Qiao smiled and shook her head. "I'm not having any more. A daughter and a son. That's enough."
Liu Lingfeng was shocked. After a few seconds, she asked, "You're really not having any more children?"
Tong Qiao nodded.
Liu Lingfeng's eyes were hot, and she clenched her hands in excitement. Then, she looked at Tong Qiao and said, "Actually, you don't have to think so much. You just gave birth to a girl. It's better to have another one."
"Auntie Liu, don't feel burdened. I'm not doing this for Ziqian's sake. It's mainly because I'm afraid of pain. When I gave birth to An 'an, I decided not to have any more children in the future. Besides, it's hard to take care of a child, and I'm not very good at it.
I'm fine. "Liu Lingfeng didn't know if Tong Qiao said that to comfort her, but she appreciated it very much. If Tong Qiao had another son in the future, he definitely wouldn't treat Lu Ziqian so well. Now that Tong Qiao said that she wouldn't have any more children in the future, she didn't have to worry anymore.
Liu Lingfeng held Tong Qiao's hand tightly. Her heart was surging, and her eyes were brimming with tears. She was so emotional that she didn't know what to do. She just kept saying, "Thank you, thank you …"
Before getting into the car, Liu Lingfeng pulled Sheng Yufei to a corner and said softly, "Yufei, Hua 'er has been gone for five years. You wasted so many years of your youth because of him, and you even gave birth to a child for the Xu family. I'm very grateful to you. While you're still young, find a good man and marry him."
Sheng Yufei was surprised. She didn't expect Liu Lingfeng to say such things to her. "Mom …"
Liu Lingfeng gently patted Sheng Yufei's hand. "I'm not that kind of person …" She glanced at Xu Dechang. "Your father is an old-fashioned man. He won't say these words, but he knows in his heart that he won't let you be a widow for the rest of your life. Mom hopes that you'll be happy. I believe that's what Hua 'er hopes for too. "
Sheng Yufei shook her head with red eyes. She lowered her head and held Liu Lingfeng's hand tightly. "No, I won't get married."
Liu Lingfeng glanced at the tall and straight figure of Lu Jinshen and retracted her gaze. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked softly, "Do you like Lu Jinshen?"
Sheng Yufei looked up at Liu Lingfeng with a pale face. "Mom, I … I …"
Liu Lingfeng smiled. "It's okay if you like him. He's a good boy. You've been with him day and night for five years. It's normal for you to like him."
Sheng Yufei looked at Liu Lingfeng for a moment. She lowered her head in shame. "I'm sorry."
"Silly child, what are you apologizing for? We should be the ones apologizing. We've delayed you for so long." Liu Lingfeng paused for a few seconds after speaking. Her gaze moved back and forth between Lu Jinshen and Tong Qiao. She then looked at Sheng Yufei. "But Yufei, Mom hopes that you'll forget about Lu Jinshen. He has Qiao 'er in his heart. He's not suitable for you."
Sheng Yufei looked at Liu Lingfeng with tears in her eyes. She didn't say anything.
"Old woman, it's time to go," Xu Dechang urged.
"Yes, I'm coming." Liu Lingfeng replied. She looked at Sheng Yufei again. "You've already lost Hua 'er. Mom doesn't want your next relationship to be incomplete. You deserve someone better. You deserve a man who loves you wholeheartedly. Do you understand?"
Sheng Yufei lowered her eyes. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Her delicate face was streaked with tears. It was heartbreaking to see her like this.
Liu Lingfeng hugged Sheng Yufei and patted her shoulder gently. Sheng Yufei had two relationships. One was a life and death separation, while the other had someone else in his heart. Liu Lingfeng knew that Sheng Yufei must be having a hard time. "Child, hang in there. You'll be fine after a while. If you're tired, stay at my place for a while. Mom will accompany you."
"Thank you, Mom."
After Xu Dechang and Liu Lingfeng got on the bus, Lu Jinshen held Liu Lingfeng's waist with one hand and held Lu Ziqian's hand with the other as they walked toward the entrance of the bus station. Sheng Yufei walked behind them and looked at the three people in front of her with a cold glint in her eyes. Ziqian was her son, but why did they seem more like a family while she was an outsider?
When they reached the door, Lu Jinshen turned around. "Yufei, do you need us to give you a lift?"
Sheng Yufei smiled and shook her head. "No need. I drove here."
"Okay." Lu Jinshen paused for a moment and said, "Be careful on the road. We'll go back first."
Lu Ziqian said obediently, "Goodbye, Mom."
Tong Qiao didn't like Sheng Yufei. She never pretended to be polite and didn't even say hello.
Sheng Yufei looked at the "family of three" walking to the car. Her heart felt like it was being fried in a pan of oil. "Jinshen …"
Lu Jinshen stopped and turned around. "What's the matter?"
Sheng Yufei clenched her hands slightly and smiled. "I have something to tell you. Can you give me a few minutes?"
Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao and asked with his eyes, "Can I?"
Tong Qiao frowned and looked at Lu Jinshen. Her meaning was obvious. "Why are you looking at me? You're making it seem like I'm not allowing you to talk to your ex-wife. "
The corners of Lu Jinshen's lips curled up slightly as he looked around the bus station. "Let's go to the cafe in front and have a seat."
Sheng Yufei saw the two of them exchanging glances. She suppressed the jealousy in her heart and nodded with a smile. "Okay."
They found a seat by the window and sat down. Lu Ziqian naturally sat next to Tong Qiao. The two of them fought for the menu.
Coffee and dessert were served. Lu Ziqian's eyes sparkled when he saw the food. He took a plate of dessert and started eating.
Tong Qiao reached out her spoon to eat the dessert on Lu Ziqian's plate. "Let me try your dessert. Is it good?"
Lu Ziqian turned around with the plate. "No, don't take mine."
"What's wrong with taking a bite? At most, I'll give you a bite of mine. "
"No, I won't eat yours. Don't think about eating mine."
"You're really not giving it to me?"
"No."
"No … I'll take it."
The two of them laughed at the dining table. Lu Ziqian appeared to be at odds with Tong Qiao, but in reality, he was very happy when Tong Qiao took his food. His eyes were curved from smiling, but he said unpleasant things. "Tong Qiao, if you take it again, I'm going to get angry … Dad, look at her. You don't even care about her."
Lu Jinshen smiled at the two of them. "Qiao 'er, if you want to order another set, you can order another one."
Tong Qiao turned to glare at the man beside her. "Lu Jinshen, how dare you not help me?"
Lu Jinshen said, "Ziqian, let her have a taste. I'll order another set for you later."
Lu Ziqian refused to back down. "No."
Sheng Yufei was so angry that she almost dug her nails into her palms. She was even more determined to make up her mind. She smiled and broke the happy atmosphere of the family of three. "Jinshen, I want to discuss something with you."
