After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Chapter 762: Heartfire Burns

Ye Qiuqiu held the child with one hand and carried things with the other as she left the mall.

There were quite a few people outside the mall, and as Ye Qiuqiu walked among them, she heard someone shout, “Wait, you dropped something.”

Ye Qiuqiu thought they were calling someone else and didn’t turn around.

The person jogged up to her and stopped in front of her, “You dropped your handkerchief, it’s for the baby, right?”

Ye Qiuqiu saw the small pink cotton handkerchief she handed over, “Ah, right, it’s mine, thank you.”

Che Qin saw she was too occupied to free a hand, so she helped her put the handkerchief in the shopping bag, “You’re welcome, I put it away for you, it won’t fall out again.”

Looking at Ye Qiuqiu’s full hands, she asked, “Where are you heading? Do you need any help?”

Ye Qiuqiu quickly replied, “No need, no need, I’m just going to the bus stop ahead, my home is not far from here.”

“Alright, then take care,” Che Qin glanced at the child sleeping soundly, “Your baby is really cute and looks a lot like you.”

Ye Qiuqiu smiled, “Thank you.”

Ye Qiuqiu continued walking forward, while Le Yu, who had caught up from behind, stood next to Che Qin in thought, “Why do I feel like the woman just now looked somewhat familiar?”

“A friend from H City?” Che Qin asked.

“Not really, I didn’t have friends here before I came to H City.” Le Yu thought hard, then suddenly lit up, “I remember now, she was Gantang’s high school classmate, a very close one; I often saw her with Gantang a few years back, no wonder she looked familiar.”

“She must have married over to this area, right? She was carrying the child and so many things, but her family didn’t come out to help.”

“Since we have a car and she’s a friend of Gantang, why not give her a ride home?” Le Yu felt that Ye Qiuqiu, struggling with her bags, could use some help.

However, by the time he caught up, Ye Qiuqiu had already boarded the bus, and it drove away before his eyes.

Le Yu let it go and turned to take Che Qin’s hand, “Never mind, let me take you home first.”

Ye Qiuqiu rode the bus home, set her things on the ground, and fumbled for keys to unlock the door.

With one hand occupied, she bumped the child, who stirred and seemed about to wake up, so Ye Qiuqiu quickly patted her.

“Qiuqiu, back from shopping? Oh, you bought quite a lot, those diapers aren’t cheap, are they?” The neighbor auntie eyed the things on the ground and made small talk.

The loud voice of the auntie startled the half-asleep baby, who started to squirm in her arms.

Ye Qiuqiu gently patted her, while speaking to the neighbor, “The diapers were on sale at the mall, it wasn’t too expensive.”

Hearing about the discount, the neighbor aunt murmured to her daughter to go check it out.

Ye Qiuqiu unlocked the door, said “Auntie, I’m going back inside,” and carried her things in before closing the door.

Inside, Mrs. Chen was wiping the table and looked at Ye Qiuqiu as she entered with bags in her hands.

“Qianqian is still young, why do you keep taking her outside? Children shouldn’t be exposed to the wind,” Mrs. Chen nagged.

“I’ve been careful with her, I wrapped her up well so she wasn’t exposed to the wind,” Ye Qiuqiu said, “And besides, it’s summer now, the wind isn’t cold.”

“You know it’s summer, so why take her out in the sun,” Mrs. Chen said upon seeing her hands full, “You obviously didn’t use an umbrella, children’s skin is delicate and can’t be exposed to the sun.”

Ye Qiuqiu took a deep breath, her tone a bit firm, “Mum, look out the window, it’s overcast today, there’s no sun. Qianqian is my daughter, would I let her get sunburned?”

Mrs. Chen glanced at the sky and sulkily withdrew her gaze, still muttering, “Shopping is fine, but why buy so much? Raising children is expensive, you don’t seem to save at all, spending like that, how can your money last.”

Ye Qiuqiu felt her temper flare.
