Chapter 437 Han Mingyu, you're shameless!
"Ignore him." Qi Mingxuan didn't even look at Han Mingyu, her tone even colder.
Upon hearing this, Anmi pursed her lips slightly and glanced cautiously at Han Mingyu.
Han Mingyu has been subjected to Qi Mingxuan's cold shoulder quite a bit these past few days, and has become somewhat immune to it.
He looked at Qi Yue: "Son, I don't have to go to work today either, can I go with you?"
Qi Yue frowned: "Don't ask me such a deadly question, ask my mom yourself."
Han Mingyu: "..."
There is a difference between biological children and those born to one's parents.
It's even more different if you give birth to and raise the child yourself.
Qi Yue has lived with his mother for many years, and in terms of their relationship, his mother's affection for him is definitely deeper.
So when it really matters, Qi Yue still sides with his mother.
Qi Yue looked up at Qi Mingxuan and asked, "Mom, can we have KFC for lunch?"
“Okay.” Qi Mingxuan looked at her son. “But this kind of thing is unhealthy. It’s okay to eat it occasionally, but not too much.”
"I know." Qi Yue nodded happily.
Looking at her sensible son, Qi Mingxuan felt a mix of emotions.
She knew that Qi Yue probably also wanted to go out and play with his parents, but he knew that his parents were arguing, so his thoughtfulness was just to avoid making things difficult for his mother.
Qi Mingxuan felt that it was really unfair to make the children pay for the conflicts between the adults.
But she was truly exhausted. The marriage had long been distorted, and forcibly binding them together wouldn't be good for the children.
Cutting the losses in time is good for all three of them.
...
The elevator arrives at basement level.
Several people came out of the elevator.
Anmi went to get the car.
Qi Mingxuan and Qi Yue were waiting for her at the elevator entrance.
Han Mingyu stood beside the mother and son.
Qi Yue stood between his parents, glancing occasionally at Han Mingyu and then at Qi Mingxuan.
Suddenly, Han Mingyu raised his hand and gently patted Qi Yue's shoulder.
Qi Yue looked up at him.
The father and son looked into each other's eyes.
Han Mingyu frowned at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue frowned, not wanting to pay him any attention.
He lowered his head and pretended to be stupid.
Han Mingyu: "..."
He's really Han Mingyu's good son!
Just then, a blue Bentley Mulsanne drove up.
Before Qi Mingxuan could move, Han Mingyu had already stepped forward, opened the back door, and turned to look at Qi Mingxuan.
"Honey, get in the car."
Qi Mingxuan frowned slightly and said to Qi Yue, "You get in the car first."
Qi Yue nodded and obediently got into the car.
Qi Mingxuan walked over and closed the car door.
The two stood outside the car. Qi Mingxuan looked at Han Mingyu and said, "You used the child to force me to put up with you time and time again. Han Mingyu, you are shameless."
Han Mingyu looked at her earnestly: "I don't want a divorce, I want to salvage the relationship."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingxuan laughed in exasperation.
...
Inside the car, Qi Yue looked out the window at his parents.
They were talking, but the luxury car was very soundproof, so he couldn't hear what they were saying. However, he could tell from their expressions that they weren't having a pleasant conversation.
Qi Yue turned to look at the driver's seat, "Sister Anmi, are my parents getting a divorce?"
Anmi was stunned.
“Sister Anmi, you can tell me the truth. I’m all grown up now, and I can understand.”
"I'm sorry, Qi Yue, but I think you should ask President Qi about this yourself."
Anmi's voice was gentle: "If you want to know, President Qi won't hide it from you. After all, you are her only child, the child she went through all difficulties to bring into the world. No matter what happens between her and your father, she will always be your mother, and her love for you will never change."
"I know all of that."
Qi Yue looked out the window.
Mom was speaking with a frown, while Dad had his head down.
From Qi Yue's perspective, there were tears glistening in Han Mingyu's eyes.
Qi Yue frowned and looked down at his toes.
Outside the car, Qi Mingxuan had said everything she needed to say. She felt that Han Mingyu, unless he was mentally challenged, should have understood.
"Now, please move aside."
Han Mingyu looked dejected and took a few steps back.
Qi Mingxuan opened the car door and got inside.
The car door closed, and Qi Mingxuan said to Anmi, "Let's go."
"good."
Anmi shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and the Mulsanne drove towards the underground parking garage exit.
Han Mingyu looked terrible. He took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and stood there smoking alone.
...
The largest shopping mall in the city center.
Qi Mingxuan took Qi Yue to the clothing section on the third floor to buy clothes.
Children around seven or eight years old are going through the process of losing their baby teeth, which is an awkward period for their appearance, but Qi Yue is not affected by this awkward period at all.
He has very delicate and handsome features.
She inherited Qi Mingxuan's fair complexion, so she looks good in any clothes.
This is the first time Qi Mingxuan has personally taken Qi Yue shopping for clothes.
Even though she knew Qi Yue had everything he needed, she couldn't resist her overflowing maternal love and wanted to buy him clothes of all styles.
Qi Yue was truly helpless.
He felt that his mother had really bought too much!
Finally, just as Qi Mingxuan was about to pull him into the third shoe store, he hurriedly said, "Mom, I don't want to buy it anymore."
Qi Mingxuan paused, looked down at him, and asked, "Don't you like this brand?"
Qi Yue sighed, "No, I've already bought a lot. I'm still growing, it would be a waste if you bought so many and couldn't wear them all."
Qi Mingxuan was taken aback.
"Mom, if you really want to spend money on me, why don't you save it and donate it in my name to poor children in need?"
Qi Mingxuan was somewhat surprised.
She never expected that eight-year-old Qi Yue would be considering these things.
Looking at Qi Yue, Qi Mingxuan felt as if she hadn't even realized that her child had already grown up.
At this moment, her feelings were very complicated.
I feel like I've missed out on so much about my child.
She failed to provide timely care and attention to her child when the child needed it.
Now she wants to make amends, but Qi Yue may no longer need it.
Qi Mingxuan was shocked by this discovery, and a strong sense of regret welled up in her heart.
Her decision back then harmed herself and caused suffering to her child.
Overwhelmed by emotions, Qi Mingxuan unconsciously tightened her grip on Qi Yue's hand, so much so that Qi Yue couldn't help but frown.
"Mom, you're hurting me!"
Qi Mingxuan suddenly realized what was happening and quickly let go!
"I'm sorry, son, I was just lost in thought."
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?" Qi Yue looked at her mother's pale face and felt anxious. "If you're not feeling well, we can go home and rest first. We can go shopping at the mall another day."
"I'm fine." Qi Mingxuan calmed down and quickly reached out to touch Qi Yue's head. "I'm sorry, Mom scared you."
Qi Yue was still worried.
"Mom, let's not go shopping. I'm a little tired too. Let's find a place to sit down and rest."
Qi Mingxuan smiled and said, "Okay."
...
Qi Mingxuan took Qi Yue to the Starbucks on the first floor.
She ordered Qi Yue a Frappuccino.
It was Qi Yue's first time drinking this beverage, and he was very excited.
Although Qi Yue is more mature than other children his age, he is still only an eight-year-old child, and his love for sweets is almost innate.
Sipping the sweet beverage, Qi Yue's eyes sparkled with happiness.
Seeing his happy and carefree appearance, Qi Mingxuan felt much less guilty.
Raising children is often a way of redeeming oneself.
She had just been overwhelmed by heavy emotions and almost lost control, but now, looking at her child's happy and content face, her heart was instantly healed.
"Qi Yue." Qi Mingxuan walked over and sat down next to her son.
The mother and son sat together on a sofa. Qi Mingxuan reached out and hugged him. "Mom has something to tell you."
Qi Yue paused in his sippy.
He had actually guessed that his mother probably wanted to talk to him about divorce.
"Mom, please speak, I'm listening carefully."
Qi Mingxuan looked at him, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Qi Yue waited and waited, but his mother didn't speak.
He looked up in confusion, only to be met with his mother's moist eyes.
Qi Yue panicked immediately, quickly put the drink cup on the table, picked up a napkin from the table and helped her wipe her tears, "Mom, why are you crying?"
Qi Mingxuan raised her hand and grasped her son's hand holding the tissue, sniffing, "Qi Yue, Mommy is going to divorce Daddy, will you blame Mommy?"
"No." Qi Yue answered firmly, his expression becoming serious. "Mom, I'm eight years old now. You don't need to worry about me throwing a tantrum. Whatever decision you make, I will support you."
"And what about you? You grew up without a father, and now that you've finally reunited with him, don't you feel sad?"
“Even though you’re divorced, you’re still my mom and dad. I understand that. Several of my classmates’ parents are separated. It’s okay. If you’re unhappy living with your dad, then I’ll be unhappy too.”
Qi Yue looked at her with a very serious expression: "Mom, I hope you can be happier."
Qi Mingxuan originally thought she needed to give her son some psychological counseling.
Unexpectedly, it is now her son who is comforting her.
She patted Qi Yue's head: "If Mom wants you to continue living in the Han family, are you willing?"
Qi Yue was taken aback.
He hadn't thought of that.
Although the Han family treated him very well, and he liked the elders very much, he still felt sad at the thought of being separated from his mother.
There are also concerns.
He remembered the last time his mother left him at the Han family's house and then left without saying a word.
Qi Yue looked at her uneasily, "If I stay in the Han family, will you leave again?"
Qi Mingxuan was taken aback.
She guessed that Qi Yue was probably still frightened by what happened last time.
"No. This time, Mom will stay in Beicheng, but your household registration will remain with the Han family. There are many people in the Han family, and your grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents all like you very much. They will take care of you together. But if you live with Mom, you will get much less time with her, because when Mom is busy with work, she definitely won't be able to take care of you."
Qi Yue listened attentively.
“Look, you’re with the Han family. Your great-grandfather can teach you calligraphy and painting. You don’t even have to live at school. Your grandparents have plenty of time to spend with you. Qi Yue, last time I was weak and only thought about myself. But this time, I’ve thought it through very carefully. If you stay with the Han family, your life will be more fulfilling.”
Qi Mingxuan looked at him and explained the situation to him, but she didn't force him to agree with her arrangements.
"Of course, this is Mom's consideration and thought. The main thing is to respect your wishes. If you are not willing, then Mom will try to fight for custody again."
Qi Yue kept his head down and didn't say anything.
Actually, he quite liked the Han family. During the two months he lived with them, he felt very comfortable and happy every day.
The Han family is very kind, completely different from the cold and aloof Qi family.
But despite this, he still didn't want to be separated from his mother.
He just knew that if he stayed with his mother, she would be very tired.
My uncle has been ill and hasn't woken up yet. My mother has to manage the company by herself. The relatives in the Qi family are all indifferent. They only talk about interests and money with my mother and me. They only show up during the Chinese New Year, and when they do, it's only to ask for money.
Qi Yue thought that if he stayed in the Han family, his mother would come to see him often. Although his father was not good to his mother and always made her sad, his grandparents and other elders were very good to his mother. His mother actually needed the care and love of her elders.
“Mom, I’m willing to stay in the Han family.” Qi Yue looked up at her, “But I don’t want to live alone with Dad. I want to go to Han Lou and live with Grandpa and Grandma.”
