"Oh, you're angry now?" Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of mockery in his tone, but it didn't seem like he was angry.
Ruan Danchen boldly looked at him and said with her ears burning, "Young Master Lin, don't say such misleading words next time."
"What did I say?" Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows.
"…" Ruan Danchen pursed her lips speechlessly and said, "Just now, you told Manager Luo to buy groceries and go home to cook."
"Then should we buy groceries and go back to your house to cook? Tell me what I said wrong. I'll change, "Qi Chenglin said very straightforwardly, as if he was humbly asking for advice.
"Hehe!" If he really put it that way, then he really wasn't wrong. However, his words sounded very misleading!
Ruan Danchen was speechless. Coincidentally, they had also walked to the car. She got in the car with Qi Youxuan, leaving Qi Chenglin alone outside the car to put the things they had bought into the trunk.
Qi Chenglin looked into the car, smiled, and went to put the groceries in.
When Qi Youxuan grabbed the seatbelt on the seat, Ruan Danchen took it and fastened it for him.
Although she knew that he was very familiar with it, she really wanted to take advantage of this limited opportunity to take care of him.
Qi Chenglin got in the car and started it. Qi Youxuan rolled his big eyes and looked out of the window. There was nothing to see, so he looked away and turned to Ruan Danchen.
"Auntie Ruan, Zhang Mingming said that stepmothers abuse their children," Qi Youxuan said suddenly.
"Zhang Mingming?" Ruan Danchen asked.
"The boy who greeted you at the entrance of the kindergarten just now," Qi Youxuan explained.
Ruan Danchen suddenly remembered and looked at Qi Youxuan strangely. No wonder that boy ran over and said those strange things. She didn't know what this little guy said to him.
Then, Youxuan told her about what Zhang Mingming said about his mother's colleague bullying his stepdaughter at home.
Ruan Danchen felt sorry for the poor little girl when she heard that. She didn't know what that woman was thinking. Even if she wasn't her own child, how could she bear to bully such a young child?
She raised her hand and stroked Qi Youxuan's hair, feeling sorry for him. Was he worried that Qi Chenglin's stepmother would mistreat him after he got married?
"No, this kind of person is rare. You are so cute, who has the heart to bully you? Moreover, your father will be responsible for you. He won't marry someone who won't treat you well, right? "Ruan Danchen said softly.
She knew that with Qi Chenglin's status, he would get married sooner or later and have a woman to be Qi Youxuan's mother. She was afraid that she would never hear Qi Youxuan call her mother in this lifetime.
Although she had been aware of this for a long time, the thought of Qi Youxuan calling another woman mother made her feel extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, her chest was already hurting badly.
"Of course." Qi Youxuan said. Then, he looked at Qi Chenglin with uncertainty. "Dad, it can't be, right?"
Qi Chenglin glanced at them through the rearview mirror. He did not say anything, but his eyes were filled with disdain.
"…" Qi Youxuan looked back at Ruan Danchen pitifully. "Auntie Ruan, look at Dad's current attitude. Why can't I trust him?"
Ruan Danchen was feeling terrible and could not comfort Qi Youxuan. Not only Qi Youxuan, but she was also worried about herself. With Qi Chenglin's status, he would definitely find someone of equal status, right?
If those rich young ladies were like Shen Zhijing, Mu Sisi, and Yu Keyao, how could they possibly treat Qi Youxuan well?
Perhaps because they were afraid of the Qi family and Qi Chenglin, they would not really mistreat Qi Youxuan. But to ignore him, or to treat him unfairly, or to treat him unfairly, was also unacceptable.
Ignoring him was cold-blooded violence.
The more Ruan Danchen looked at Qi Youxuan's cute little face, the more her heart ached. She was really afraid that he would be wronged in the future, and her eyes could not help but redden.
"Auntie Ruan, why are your eyes red?" Qi Youxuan stretched out his chubby little arms and hugged Ruan Danchen. "Don't feel bad. I think that you will definitely not bully me, and you will even treat me very well. Although Zhang Mingming said that although you are treating me very well now, that will change after you marry Daddy. But I don't think that will happen. You will always treat me very well. "
"…" Ruan Danchen blinked. What was going on? Why did the topic suddenly change from being a stepmother to her?
Since when was she going to marry Qi Chenglin?
Ruan Danchen was a little dumbfounded. She was still feeling terrible just now, but now she was stunned by Qi Youxuan's words. She could not help but look at Qi Chenglin.
At this moment, Qi Chenglin seemed to have heard nothing and was focused on driving his car.
"Auntie Ruan, don't you think so?" Qi Youxuan hugged Ruan Danchen's arm, raised his little face, and asked expectantly.
Ruan Danchen was stunned. How was she supposed to answer?
If she said yes, wouldn't she be admitting that she was his stepmother?
Didn't Qi Chenglin misunderstand her at the beginning and think that she was treating Qi Youxuan well to get close to him?
If she admitted it now, wouldn't it be equivalent to confirming this crime and cause Qi Chenglin to misunderstand?
But if she said no, Qi Youxuan would be very sad.
Ruan Danchen thought for a moment and said slowly, "Youxuan, I will treat you very well, but —"
"That's great!" Qi Youxuan did not wait for Ruan Danchen to finish and clapped his hands happily. "I knew that Auntie Ruan would treat me very well."
"Youxuan, I won't —" Ruan Danchen had just opened her mouth when the car stopped.
Qi Chenglin interrupted her again. "We're here."
Ruan Danchen saw that the car was already parked below her house. Qi Chenglin did not help her out and got out of the car first.
Ruan Danchen wanted to explain to Qi Youxuan while Qi Chenglin was not around, but she was worried that she would disappoint the child.
However, Qi Youxuan did not give her a chance either. He skillfully unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. In the end, she was left behind by the father and son.
Ruan Danchen got out of the car helplessly. Qi Chenglin had already taken out his things and carried them himself. Ruan Danchen was responsible for holding Qi Youxuan's little hand.
The three of them waited at the elevator door. Qi Youxuan changed the topic again. The conversation in the car just now had come to an end.
The elevator descended to the first floor. After the door opened, an auntie who looked to be in her fifties came out pushing a stroller. Her grandson was lying in the stroller, and her daughter was beside him.
This auntie and her daughter Ruan Danchen knew each other. She lived just below her house. Usually, when she went to work, she would often see Auntie Chen dragging a shopping cart to the nearby market to buy groceries. Before her daughter got married, she would often see her daughter going to work.
Occasionally, she would see Auntie Chen's husband pushing her grandson out for a walk in the morning.
"Auntie Chen," Ruan Danchen called out and smiled at Auntie Chen's daughter. "Did you bring Tang Tang out to play?"
"Yeah, isn't it warm? I brought him out for a walk at night. He's wild now and wants to come out all day, "Auntie Chen said with a smile. Her eyes involuntarily fell on Qi Chenglin and caught a glimpse of Ruan Danchen holding Qi Youxuan's hand.
However, as far as she knew, Ruan Danchen was still single.
This man was quite old, and he had a child. Ruan Danchen's condition was not bad. She couldn't possibly be someone's stepmother, right? Although this man was quite handsome, he had a son after all.
If it were her, she would definitely not agree to her daughter finding a man with a son after getting married again.
"Hehe, Danchen, is he your relative? Your brother? "Auntie Chen asked with a smile. She was too embarrassed to ask her own guess.
Ruan Danchen was also so embarrassed that she did not know what to say. If she could, she really wanted to introduce Qi Youxuan to them.
"Hello, Grandma, hello, Auntie. I'm Qi Youxuan, Auntie Ruan's future son." Qi Youxuan greeted them politely and crisply. When he said the last sentence, he was even a little shy.
Ruan Danchen's face turned red. Auntie Chen was stunned and did not know how to respond. Especially when she saw Ruan Danchen's red face, it was as if she had admitted it.
She really went to be someone's stepmother?
What a pity!
Auntie Chen laughed awkwardly. Qi Chenglin was carrying large and small bags with both hands. He said in a low voice, "Youxuan, don't talk nonsense. Your Auntie Ruan is thin-skinned."
Ruan Danchen was speechless.
He might as well not have explained at all!
"Hehehehe!" Auntie Chen glanced at the ingredients in Qi Chenglin's hands. It seemed that Ruan Danchen was serious with this father and son pair. Their relationship was also quite deep. The man even brought his child over for dinner.
From the looks of it, it was just like a normal married couple. This was something that would only happen when one's relationship reached a certain level.
"Hurry up and go up. You haven't eaten yet, right?" Auntie Chen said again.
Ruan Danchen did not say anything else. She only smiled and nodded. The two of them went their separate ways.
When the elevator went up, Auntie Chen pushed her grandson and whispered to her daughter, "I really can't believe that Xiao Ruan found a remarried man with a child."
"Mom, that man looks quite rich. I saw that his clothes are from a big brand. It's really expensive. Tang Tang's father likes that brand very much, but he can't bear to buy it. Any suit from that brand costs more than a hundred thousand. Tang Tang's father can only look at it to satisfy his eye cravings. I often see him looking at it, so I can recognize it. If he's really that rich, even if he only has a son, there will be a lot of young ladies out there who want to marry him. I think that Ruan Danchen is quite capable. Look at that man, he's rich and he's so good-looking. His son is also especially well-educated, but he's able to get together with such a man. It's really quite amazing. You've seen a lot of entertainment news. Those rich people are ugly. Usually, they're young models and celebrities. They change one after another. Look at those rich people that celebrities marry. Most of them already have children. They can live a good life in the future. Can't they sacrifice this little bit? "Auntie Chen's daughter said.
Auntie Chen shook her head. "You say that I'm old-fashioned. It's their business to look at celebrities and admire them. But when it comes to themselves, I don't think that way anymore."
After entering the house, Qi Chenglin placed all the vegetables in the kitchen. Only then did Ruan Danchen notice that Qi Chenglin had actually brought Qi Youxuan's small suitcase. She had not seen it before.
