Chapter 91 What children want is their father's complete trust and favoritism.
Xu Qingmin calmly touched Song Yilin's face: "No need to force it, let's take it slow. After all the rumors have passed, we'll have a grand wedding and openly announce to the world that I won't do prenuptial agreements, and everything I have is yours."
Song Yilin looked at Xu Qingmin in surprise. Hadn't he always wanted to marry her? What was wrong?
A strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart; Xu Qingmin seemed very different today.
Song Yilin shook her head to shake off that strange feeling.
"Go to sleep, you still have to take care of your daughter tomorrow."
Xu Qingmin felt a headache coming on when he thought about how he had upset his daughter.
Did your daughter used to get angry easily?
I get angry easily? I've never thought about that.
“Children usually only get angry with people they are close to. If it’s not her family, she won’t get angry. In the past, she would only get angry to achieve a certain goal, such as wanting to go somewhere. If the request was reasonable, I would try my best to fulfill it. If the request was unreasonable, I would slowly reason with her. It has always been like this. Even though I have raised her for so long, I have never encountered a situation like today, so I don’t know what to do.”
This is a crisis of trust between father and daughter. If it is not handled properly, the relationship between father and daughter may never be good for the rest of their lives. Guan Qun is not like she was when she was young. She has the mentality of a child but also the thinking of an adult. She is not a little girl who can be coaxed with a piece of candy.
All little girls are the same. Perhaps she knows that her father is not wrong, but what she wants is her father's complete trust and favoritism.
"So today I have a little bit of a real feeling about how difficult it is for you to raise children."
Song Yilin smiled slightly: "What's this? The real hardship isn't here."
All the hardships are in the past.
The next morning, Xu Qingmin got up early to make breakfast, but Bai Guanqun rolled his eyes and chose not to eat.
"Guanqun, Dad was wrong."
Bai Guanqun continued to ignore Xu Qingmin, taking out milk and noodles from the refrigerator and eating them by himself on the sofa.
"Guanqun, Dad believes in you. It's just that Dad is used to doing things logically. Dad has already punished Song Shiyu. She will not appear in front of you and your mother again."
Bai Guanqun's gaze softened slightly, but he still ignored Xu Qingmin.
Song Yilin pulled Bai Guanqun to the table: "Eat at the table. No matter how angry you are, you can't eat breakfast on the sofa."
Bai Guanqun reluctantly sat down.
Xu Qingmin placed an egg on Bai Guanqun's plate: "Eat up, you're growing, you need to get some protein."
Bai Guanqun stared blankly at the egg in the bowl: "Didn't you say it's unhygienic to help others pick food? Why did you put it in my bowl?"
"Dad wants to be a part of your life. It's my first time being a dad, so I'm still not very good at it. Please give me lots of guidance, Guanqun."
Bai Guanqun ate the egg after a couple of quick bites.
"If you really love acting, my dad's friend has a role in a play that needs a teenager. If you want to play the dad, I'll take you to meet her."
Upon hearing that he could act, Bai Guanqun forgot his anger and immediately jumped up: "Old Xu, I'll go."
"Okay, your aunt will give you the script in a bit. Take a good look at it. If you don't understand it, ask your aunt. You're starting school soon, so you can only film this movie on weekends. You can't let it interfere with your studies. If Dad finds out that you're neglecting your studies, you won't be able to act anymore. We'll talk about it again after you go to university."
Bai Guanqun immediately raised three fingers and swore: "I promise that my grades will not drop, acting is just a hobby, I will listen to the teacher in class, listen to the tutor after class and do my homework well."
Song Yilin's worries were unfounded; Xu Qingmin still had a way with things. Although it was his first time being a father, his tricks for coaxing children were quite impressive.
“Dad needs to leave for Kyoto soon and is expected to be back in a week. Guanqun, stay home and help Dad take care of Mom.”
Bai Guanqun stuffed his mouth with rice and said, "I know, I would have taken care of you even if you hadn't said anything."
After dinner, Song Yilin helped Xu Qingmin pack his luggage: "Why do you suddenly need to go to Kyoto? Did something happen to the company there?"
“It’s a routine inspection, nothing special. Sometimes you shouldn’t trust the data reported by your subordinates too much. You have to go down and see for yourself. If you need anything this week, feel free to call me.”
Song Yilin pondered Xu Qingmin's words. Was Xu Qingmin referring to her? Since becoming CEO, apart from a trip to Binzhou, she hadn't visited any of the other stores.
The sales data reported by the stores below were normal, and the financial situation was also normal, so she didn't think much of it.
Xu Qingmin is her boyfriend, but he is also her boss. As an employee, receiving such a high salary, he should indeed make commensurate contributions.
“Qingmin, from now on, just say what you want to say. I’m not some little girl who can’t stand being lectured or preached. Before you acquired Xin’ao Group, I didn’t care when Boss Zhou scolded me every day. It was just a little bit of work-related criticism, and I didn’t think much of it.”
Xu Qingmin lay on the bed and patted the bed: "Okay, I'll just say it next time. Yilin, don't bother with anything, let's lie down for a bit. Our flight at noon isn't urgent."
Song Yilin understood Xu Qingmin's subtext, but her face still turned red uncontrollably: "You have a proper husband, okay? Our daughter is outside."
Xu Qingmin pulled her into his arms: "You're overthinking it. If it's that kind of thing, then it's not time to go now. I don't want to leave before I've had my fill. I just want to chat with you. Even though we're together, we don't have much time to have a proper chat."
It seems so. When they're together, they either talk about work or their kids. Apart from that one night in Yishi when they had a good chat about the past, it seems like they don't talk about much else.
"Qingmin, I've always been curious about something: what is Mu Yunzi's status in your family now? What about her older sister, Mu Yuncheng? I haven't seen her since."
When this name was mentioned, a hint of disgust and disdain flashed in Xu Qingmin's eyes. Although Xu Qingmin disliked this and that, it was his personality that made him dislike everyone. Today was the first time that Song Yilin had ever seen Xu Qingmin truly hate someone.
It was obvious that Xu Qingmin didn't want to mention the two sisters.
"Is it inconvenient to talk about it?"
Xu Qingmin embraced Song Yilin and said slowly, "When the Mu Yun family was down on their luck, my mother took them in. My older sister took care of my father, and my younger sister was closer to my mother. One time, my father came home drunk, and my mother wasn't home. Mu Yuncheng took the opportunity to climb into my father's bed, which led to the birth of Xu Yijing."
Actually, Song Yilin didn't really believe that someone would make a mistake while drunk. If Old Xu didn't have that intention, how could Mu Yuncheng's seduction have succeeded? The daily care he received must have shown some affection, but they were both just keeping to their proper roles. After drinking, Mu Yuncheng became incredibly passionate, and Old Xu half-heartedly gave in.
She used to admire Mr. Xu a lot, but now she feels disgusted by him.
