Chapter 1058 It Still Has to Be You
“Xingxing, it’s been a long time since you’ve come here. Your aunt was talking about you the other day, saying she wanted to visit you, but she was afraid of causing you trouble.”
He Fen brought out fruit from the kitchen and happened to overhear what Wang Yue was saying.
"What do you mean I'm nagging? You clearly want to see the stars, but you're worried about this and afraid of that. I've already told you that the stars definitely won't mind, but you just won't listen to me."
Wang Yue smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I was just afraid of disturbing Xingxing!"
He Fen smiled broadly, "Xingxing, don't just sit there, come and eat some fruit. Your mother just bought these from the market, they're all very fresh."
Qiao Xing looked up at Wang Qin in the kitchen, and Wang Qin's gaze happened to meet hers.
Their eyes met and Wang Qin smiled.
Qiao Xin returned her a smile.
If you asked her to call out "Mom" right now, Qiao Xing definitely couldn't do it.
The only thing she could do was not treat Wang Qin like a stranger.
Qiao Xing looked around the room but didn't see Wang Ye. "Where's my cousin? Hasn't he come back yet?"
He Fen said, "Yes, his business has been very good these past few days, and he's been busy, coming home very late every day. But I told him you would be back today, so why hasn't he come home yet?"
She patted Wang Yue and said, "Go call your son and tell him to put what he's doing aside. Xingxing is back, how can he not be here?"
Wang Yue quickly took out his phone. "I'll call him right now."
The most obvious thing Qiao Xing noticed when he returned was that He Fen's attitude was much warmer than before.
Moreover, this enthusiasm is quite different from anything seen before.
She remembered that when He Fen treated her this way in the past, it was always with an ulterior motive.
But now it seems that He Fen's enthusiasm is very different from before.
She genuinely welcomed Qiao Xing's arrival.
This surprised Qiao Xing quite a bit, because her impression of He Fen was still based on the past.
Wang Ye hadn't returned yet, so Qiao Xing chatted with Xi Xi, who was sitting next to her.
"How's your violin learning going? Have you made any progress?"
Xi Xi nodded, "I'm doing very well. I've improved a lot compared to before. My teacher even recommended that I participate in various competitions to improve myself."
"Do you want to go?"
Qiao Xing had not forgotten why Xi Xi had started learning the violin in the first place.
But it's quite impressive that she's been able to stick with something that's not even a hobby, and for so long.
Xi Xi said, "If I could really participate in the competition, I would really like to go, after all, it would be an opportunity for me to prove myself."
Qiao Xing was very supportive of her, saying, "If you ever go to a competition, don't forget to tell your sister. I'll definitely come to support you."
Xi Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After a while, Wang Ye and Bai Yi finally returned, bringing Linlin with them.
Bai Yi was very happy to see Qiao Xing, and the two gave each other a light hug.
Bai Yi said, "Long time no see."
Qiao Xing also said, "It has indeed been quite a long time."
Wang Qin brought all the dishes out of the kitchen, and Wang Yue greeted everyone.
"Alright, everyone stop standing there and hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
It's a rare occasion for everyone to get together today, and Wang Yue is very happy. He brought out all the fine wines he had treasured.
Wang Qin and He Fen were going in and out of the kitchen when Bai Yi put down her bag. "Mom, let me help you."
Qiao Xing was slightly surprised when she heard Bai Yi address He Fen by that name.
Although Bai Yi addressed He Fen in the same way when she and Wang Ye first got married, He Fen couldn't accept Bai Yi at that time.
Bai Yi and Wang Ye's relationship had never been stable, so Bai Yi gradually started calling He Fen "Auntie".
This time, He Fen surprisingly didn't give Bai Yi a hard time. Instead, she said to her, "Alright, alright, there aren't many dishes. Don't bother with all this work. Go sit down with Xingxing and wait for dinner."
Qiao Xing was genuinely shocked by He Fen's attitude towards Bai Yi.
She had considered that He Fen would accept Bai Yi, after all, she and Wang Ye were already truly together, and even if He Fen didn't like Bai Yi, she couldn't stop anything anymore.
Qiao Xing thought that He Fen had at most accepted the relationship between the two of them, and might not show much enthusiasm for Bai Yi.
But when He Fen spoke to Bai Yi just now, she not only had a smile on her face, but also looked very doting. It was as if she were talking to her own daughter.
Bai Yi smiled but didn't say anything, as if she had long been used to it.
Seeing this, Qiao Xing quietly pulled Wang Ye aside and asked, "Has Auntie completely accepted Bai Yi?"
Wang Ye said smugly, "Of course! I'm officially with Bai Yi now. If she doesn't accept me, how could I come back?"
Qiao Xing gave Wang Ye a thumbs up, "You're the only one who can handle your aunt."
Wang Ye stopped bragging to Qiao Xing and whispered to her, "Actually, my mom is nice to Bai Yi not because of me, but because Bai Yi is pregnant."
"What?"
Qiao Xing was completely shocked.
Wang Ye said, "Are you really that surprised? How long have we been together? Isn't it normal to get pregnant?"
If you count the time, Wang Ye and Bai Yi have indeed been married for quite some time, but before they officially got together, their relationship was like that of friends. They rarely shared a bed, let alone did *that* kind of thing.
The two had only been together for three or four months.
Qiao Xing really didn't expect Wang Ye to be so quick.
Qiao Xing asked, "How far along are you in the pregnancy?"
“The checkup was done last week, less than forty days ago,” Wang Ye said. “When I told my mom, you can imagine how happy she was. Now, Bai Yi is the head of the Wang family, and everything revolves around her.”
Qiao Xing thought, no wonder He Fen's attitude towards Bai Yi was so different just now.
He Fen has always wanted a grandson of her own, and now that Bai Yi is pregnant, it's no wonder she's overjoyed.
When the topic turned to children, Qiao Xing unconsciously glanced at Linlin, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Bai Yi is pregnant now, your mom must be happy, so won't she be even more... happy with Linlin?"
Qiao Xing had witnessed He Fen's previous attitude towards Linlin.
Only Wang Ye in the family knew about Linlin and Bai Yi's past, and out of respect for Bai Yi, he did not tell his family about those past events.
