Chapter 216 is unusually heavy.
After hearing this, Lu Congyue's face turned ashen.
"Don't mention these things to anyone again!"
Lu Congyue watched as Xiao Qianyue ran back happily, and coldly warned, "Watch your mouth and Huang Cuilan's mouth!"
"We've never told anyone," Lin Dian said hastily.
Lu Congyue squatted down, smiled, and caught Xiao Qianyue who ran over: "How is it? Are they wild berries?"
"No," Xiao Qianyue said disappointedly, but then immediately smiled. "I found some pretty leaves and took them home for my mother and brother to play with."
"Okay." Lu Congyue picked her up and said with a smile, "We should go home now and say goodbye to... your father."
Xiao Qianyue pouted, but didn't actually say the word. She just waved excitedly, "Goodbye!!"
Ignoring Lin Dian's disappointment, Lu Congyue picked up Xiao Qianyue and left without looking back.
Once Lin Dian's figure disappeared from sight, Xiao Qianyue asked unhappily, "Uncle Lu, why did you make me call him 'Dad' too? I don't want to call him that..."
Lu Congyue didn't answer her question, but instead asked with a smile, "Then who do you want to call?"
Little Qian Yue suddenly felt embarrassed, but still mustered up her courage and said loudly, "I like Uncle Lu to be my dad."
Lu Congyue's smile widened: "Really? That depends on your mother's consent. Uncle Lu can only become your father when your mother agrees, so Yueyue has to help with this."
Xiao Qianyue nodded like a chick pecking at rice, repeatedly saying she wanted to help, but unfortunately she didn't know how.
Lu Congyue then instructed her to speak well of Zhuang Qingxiang in front of her, and to frequently mention wanting him to be her father...
He said a lot, and for every sentence he said, Xiao Qianyue would nod in agreement.
In order to make Uncle Lu a "father", she has to work very hard!
When Lu Congyue rushed home with Xiao Qianyue, it was already completely dark.
Hearing the commotion, Zhuang Qingxiang, disregarding the two children on the kang (a heated brick bed), rushed out of the room. Upon seeing Xiao Qianyue, she excitedly called out and hugged her tightly.
"Why are you only coming back now? Your mother was so worried about you," she said reproachfully.
Xiao Qianyue quickly hugged her and gently patted her back, comforting her: "Mommy, don't worry, Yueyue is fine."
Zhuang Qingxiang was on the verge of tears.
Heaven knows how anxious she was that day, fearing that Lu Congyue would leave with her daughter only to return alone. She must have had countless fantasies that day, leaving Sun Yongxian, who came to help, completely bewildered.
But she couldn't say it out loud, so she had to keep it to herself.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Are you hungry?" Zhuang Qingxiang stroked the little girl's soft hair and asked gently.
Xiao Qianyue nodded vigorously.
She was very hungry. Uncle Lu had been leading her along mountain paths, and the water they drank and the steamed buns they ate were cold.
"What would you like to eat, Yueyue?" Zhuang Qingxiang asked immediately. "Mom will make it for you right away."
"How about some hot dumpling soup?" Little Qian Yue asked, rubbing her stomach with a wronged expression. "My stomach feels so cold."
Zhuang Qingxiang immediately led her into the house, made her a cup of hot malted milk powder, and then hurriedly went to the kitchen to make dumpling soup.
After I made the noodles and boiled the water, I realized there was someone standing at the kitchen door.
It is Lu Congyue.
He was the man she had been deliberately ignoring.
She didn't dare to look him in the eye, because she didn't know if Lu Congyue had taken Huang Cuilan back because he had heard something from her.
Her hands were trembling with nervousness.
But she knew that her expression must look very strange to him.
So she forced herself to look up at him and asked softly, "Are you hungry too?"
The man's slightly aggrieved voice immediately rang out: "I thought you didn't see me come back... I want to eat a big bowl."
Her tone was no different from when the two of them were alone, which put Zhuang Qingxiang at ease. She immediately said, "Okay, go back to your room and have some hot water. You'll be fine in a little while."
Lu Congyue responded and left.
Zhuang Qingxiang breathed a sigh of relief: Huang Cuilan probably didn't say anything...
At this moment, Lu Congyue walked with unusual heaviness and a grim expression on his face, just a few steps from the kitchen to the main room.
Qian Quantian is disabled and can't even sleep with women. Yueyue is Lin Dian's daughter, so whose child is Chenglin?
Huang Cuilan knew all this, but what about Zhuang Qingxiang?
He actually thought about it a lot along the way.
Based on his understanding of Zhuang Qingxiang, she probably didn't know at the time, otherwise she wouldn't have been so sad after Qian Quan's death, and even didn't want to remarry for his sake and for the sake of her two children.
Qian Quan should have learned a lesson from Huang Cuilan and avoided repeating the same mistake. He succeeded and even gained Zhuang Qingxiang's trust and affection.
Therefore, Qian Quan deserves to die!
Lu Congyue clenched his fist tightly, wishing he could drag all the money out of the grave, beat it up, and then personally snap its neck and throw it into the deep mountains to feed the wolves!
When he entered the house, Lu Congyue's expression had returned to normal. He smiled as he watched the little girl drinking the malted milk powder sip by sip, and then went into the house to check on the two younger children.
This time, their gaze lingered on Xiao Chenglin's face.
Whose child is this?
He suddenly felt a sense of disgust towards the child. It was only to have him that Qian Quan married Zhuang Qingxiang and used dirty tricks to get her pregnant and give birth to him.
"Wow……"
Perhaps sensing that he was being rejected, Xiao Chenglin suddenly burst into tears.
The sudden crying startled Lu Congyue awake. His disgust vanished instantly, and he quickly picked up Xiao Chenglin, who was crying incessantly, and gently coaxed him.
Xiao Qianyue rushed in: "What's wrong? Why is my little brother suddenly crying?"
"It's alright," Lu Congyue said with a smile. "Uncle's here, a little coaxing will make her fine."
Just as he said, after coaxing him for a little while, Xiao Chenglin stopped crying and even smiled at him with snot bubbles coming out of his nose.
Lu Congyue's heart softened immediately.
He was truly stunned. This had nothing to do with the child; it was all that beast's fault.
This is Zhuang Qingxiang's child, born after ten months of pregnancy. She is related to her by blood. How adorable!
Lu Congyue smiled and kissed Xiao Chenglin's soft little face, which made Xiao Qianyue envious, so she ran over to ask for a kiss as well.
So Lu Congyue kissed her little face again. Of course, he had to kiss Xiao Donghua's face too, to be fair.
In no time, the three children and one adult on the kang (a heated brick bed) were laughing and kissing each other.
Zhuang Qingxiang heard the hearty laughter coming from inside the house, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, but she quickly looked up again, her eyes filled with worry.
After finishing the dumpling soup, Xiao Qianyue immediately began to doze off.
She had been out all day and was exhausted.
Zhuang Qingxiang quickly washed her up and put her on the kang (heated brick bed). She immediately fell asleep, and the two younger children also fell asleep.
Zhuang Qingxiang tucked the blankets up for them before tiptoeing off the kang (heated brick bed) and out the door.
She had been wanting to ask Lu Congyue what had happened today, and now that she could finally ask him alone, she was worried that she might ask something bad.
Lu Congyue sat upright in his chair. Seeing her standing motionless in the doorway, he opened his arms and said, "Come here!"
