Mr. Xiao's Unconditional Love

Chapter 92: An Arrogant Child

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

What happened to her?

Ye Qiao was obviously touched, but also felt guilty, and she almost slapped herself!

She felt very sorry for Xiaogun and Lu Beixiao in her previous life, and the feeling was made worse because they loved her so much!

What got her mind occupied now was what Xiaogun had said earlier – ‘I’ll only be there when you’re in danger!’

His ‘kiddy’ voice was powerful, and Ye Qiao could easily remember it.

Nightfall soon came, and the afterglow of twilight entered the train cabin. The girl with black hair who wore a white shirt was in tears. The scene looked beautiful but also pitiful at the same time. Ye Qiao did not try to hide her emotion in front of Qiao Tian; tears rolled down her cheeks again and again, even after she wiped them away.

She was not trying to seek attention, but she could not control herself, either. Xiaogun was her biggest weakness. That was her child, who was completely different from her husband, her parents, and even her siblings. She was the one who brought him to the world and she was supposed to protect him. Instead, he was the one who protected her now!

Qiao Tian handed a napkin to her as he sat by her side. She looked out the window after wiping her tears and only managed to calm down when the sky turned dark.

After crying for a while, she seemed to have calmed down and regained some positive energy. Her heart was warm, knowing that her ‘son’ would keep her company in the future. She should move on from the past, so she decided to be grateful and stay positive since God gave her a chance to be reborn!

“Lu Xiaogun, Lu Xiaogun, paging Lu Xiaogun!” Ye Qiao was shaking her mobile phone as she continuously called for her son under the vine tree.

It had been two days since Lu Xiaogun last spoke to her!

“Gungun, are you upset with mummy? I hate my old self too, but rest assured, I’ll love you and daddy wholeheartedly this time! Come on, Gungun, talk to me, please?”

There was still no reply.

What an arrogant child!

“Ahhh! Help! Xiaogun! Mummy can’t swim!”

Lu Xaogun ‘rolled his eyes’ in annoyance. “What are you doing? I’m watching you, though!?”

Ye Qiao found herself behaving rather absurdly too. She then stood up and smacked her buttocks several times to remove any sand. “I’m going back to grandma’s house for dinner, Gungun. And, I’m flying back to J City tomorrow! Let’s visit your daddy when I’m back to J City, alright?”

Just like before, there was no reply.

She brought Qiao Tian back to their hometown so that her parents did not have to be worried anymore as he had not returned home for a few years. Qiao Tian kowtowed to apologize to his parents and promised that he would put in the effort to get a proper job and distance himself from the mafias. Her father was recovering from his leg injury while her Liangpi [1] business, which her sister was running, was doing very well. It was quite popular in the town as her sister was the only one selling this snack.

Ye Qiao could not stop reminding her sister to keep all the sauce and chili oil recipes for the Liangpi confidential.

Ye Qiao wished that her sister would be able to have a Liangpi shop one day and expand it to other branches... perhaps, even set up a joint venture business!

While having dinner together, her mother kept refusing to allow Qiao Tian to return to J City with her. She thought that big city was full of temptations and that Qiao Tian might repeat the same mistake again.

“Your uncle said that he could help Qian Tian to get a job at the Food Bureau. The wages are low, but it’s a stable job.”

Ye Qiao was covered in sweat as she heard what her mother said.

Although working in the Food Bureau was everyone’s number one wish back in the old days, many employees were retrenched as the enterprise’s policy had changed. In fact, her uncle was on the list of retrenchments and eventually returned home.

“Mom, I’ll take care of my brother’s matters; don’t worry. I’ll not let him put himself in a difficult position anymore.” Ye Qiao said in a bossy manner.

She understood that the older generation prioritized stability; however, Qiao Tian was only 20 years old, and it was a golden time for him to work hard and achieve more!

“Lu Xiaogun, I’m going to switch off my mobile phone. Would you be able to reach me?” Ye Qiao suddenly thought about this issue before she boarded the plane as she had no other electronic device except for her mobile phone.

“How did I find you when you had no mobile phone earlier?”

Ye Qiao was so excited as she heard Lu Xiaogun!

“Finally, you’re willing to talk to me, Lu Xiaogun!” Excitedly, she talked to the mobile phone at a corner inside the airport.

Lu Xiaogun was speechless.

“Are you upset with me, Gungun? I’m so sorry; I was also very sad when I lost you in my previous life...”

“Silly! Do you think I’ll protect you if I’m upset?” Lu Xiaogun said in annoyance.

Ye Qiao almost burst into tears as she was too happy with what she heard!

“I’m gonna get going if there’s nothing else.” Lu Xiaogun answered arrogantly.

“Xiaogun, could you stop being so cold? Talk to me, would you?” Ye Qiao asked again.

“Remember to bring an ‘umbrella’ when you visit my dad; otherwise, I’ll be born! I can’t protect you anymore if I’m born now!” Lu Xiaogun reminded her.
