Chapter 80 Wife, I happen to have experience in taking care of little phoenix babies
Immediately afterwards, Shang Youqing returned to the car, picked up the little kid who was sleeping in the back seat, pulled the suitcase out of the back compartment, and walked to the black SUV in front.
Just open the back door and get in.
Without even waiting for the man in the driver's seat to react, he ordered, "Go."
The next second, the off-road vehicle drove away in a cloud of dust.
"If you dare to let those two cars behind you catch up, you're dead."
Shang Youqing said this slowly, adjusted the back seat to a comfortable angle, held the baby in her arms, relaxed her expression, closed her eyes, and finally could sleep peacefully for a while.
Maybe Shang Youqing was a little tired from traveling for two consecutive days. When she woke up, Shang Youqing subconsciously hugged her tighter in his arms, but found nothing.
I suddenly opened my eyes. The car lights were dim, but I was the only one left in the car. The person in front of me and Shang You were gone...
Shang Youqing's heart tightened and he was about to get out of the car. However, as soon as he put his hand on the door handle, he heard vague conversations coming from the back and side of the car.
Shang Youqing looked out the car window following the sound.
It was completely dark, the valley was quiet and empty, and the taillights illuminated the back.
On an open plain, Shang You squatted on the ground, holding a flashlight in her small hands and shining it to the side. The adult she was shining the light on, He Cong, was setting up a tent seriously and attentively.
Shang You was wrapped in a fluffy coat with a hood on his head. He looked at He Cong, who was fixing the nails, with curious eyes and couldn't help asking, "What is this?"
"Ground nails are used to secure the tent."
"Oh." Shang You nodded her head and raised the flashlight a little higher to follow He Cong's movements. Her amber eyes were innocent and bright as she told him, "I haven't lived in a tent with my mother yet."
He Cong paused for half a second and was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of the car door in front opening. He raised his eyes and saw Shang Youqing getting out of the car and walking towards them.
He Cong stared at her for a moment, then took the initiative to look away. While smoothing out the gap in the tent, he asked casually, "There's food in the car. Are you hungry?"
Shang Youqing said, "I'm not hungry," and sat down next to Shang You's cushion with his legs crossed. He reached out and touched Shang You's forehead and asked, "Is the baby still shedding feathers?"
Shang You took out a small ball of fur from her pocket, spread out her hands and said helplessly, "Mom, I dropped a lot."
The wind in the valley was very strong at night. A strong gust of wind blew over and blew away the down feathers in the little guy's hands.
Shang Youqing carried Shang You over, knowing that Shang You was likely going to shed her tail for the second time. As he was pondering the matter, He Cong's voice suddenly rang out, "Is Shang You going to shed her tail?"
Shang Youqing was stunned for a moment. Before she could answer, He Cong continued, "If we set out at dawn tomorrow morning, it will take two and a half hours to reach the nearest Qionglu Village. Or we can just turn around and go back—"
"No need to turn around." Shang Youqing lowered his head and rubbed Shang You's slightly hot head. "After daybreak, drive directly to the nearest village ahead."
He Cong looked at her, then looked at Xiao Shangyou who was lying obediently in her arms. After a long while, he said, "Okay."
He went back to the car to get a sleeping bag and some useful things, and placed them neatly in the tent where they could be reached. Then he came out and told her everything he needed to say.
Shang Youqing was holding the little cub in his arms. Before he could finish, he couldn't help but look up: "If you say a few more words, Youyou will wake up."
Hearing this, He Cong closed his mouth calmly.
Shang Youqing carried Shang You into the warm and cozy tent and lay down to sleep with Shang You for a while.
Although He Cong said before she entered the tent that he would go back to the car to rest, Shang Youqing had a hunch that he wouldn't be so honest. After Shang You fell asleep, he gently opened the tent curtain and took a peek outside. Sure enough -
In the dim light of the campfire, someone stood silently outside the tent.
Hearing the sound of the tent being opened, He Cong turned his head and frowned.
Shang Youqing sat down next to him, supported his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly and looked at the stars in the night sky above his head. He was silent for a moment before he spoke softly.
"Tell me, what did Mu Weiting tell you, and how did he trick you into coming here?"
He Cong lowered his eyes and stared at her. "If you think he is deceiving me, then why did you come here?"
"I came here for a reason. There's no point in you following me."
Shang Youqing paused, turned around, looked him in the eye, and said even softer, "He Cong, send Youyou and me to Qionglu Village tomorrow, and then you can turn back."
He Cong's eyes were as deep as the endless quiet night. He stared at her so deeply and silently, almost with a kind of gravity that wanted to suck her in.
Shang Youqing's expression remained calm, but after he finished speaking, a dull feeling of tightness welled up in his chest.
She thought He Cong was going to prepare some cold words and part with her on bad terms again.
This was exactly her intention.
However, after a long time, He Cong seemed to have finally finished thinking, and he slowly leaned closer to her face and spoke again in a low voice.
"Wife."
“……?”
Shang Youqing's fingers on his side trembled slightly. It was obvious that he didn't expect that he could come up with this after thinking for such a long time. He seemed to be unable to bear it and immediately turned his head away.
However, He Cong did not give her this opportunity. He reached out and turned her face over the next second, biting the corner of her soft and slightly cool lips and sucking it neither lightly nor heavily.
After noticing Shang Youqing's attempt to lean back, He Cong placed his hand on the back of her neck, caressing her lips seductively and asking, "Do you still remember what I said that night?"
Shang Youqing's breathing became a little disordered from the kiss, but he was afraid of waking up the little cub in the tent, so he could only suppress his breathing, staring at him secretly and whispering, "You said so much nonsense that night, how would I know which one you were talking about?"
He Cong sucked her lower lip again and reminded her patiently: "It was me who said I would raise Shang You with you."
Shang Youqing was still a little confused when He Cong let go of her slightly. He looked at her calmly and said, "Honey, what a coincidence! I just happen to have experience taking care of a little phoenix baby that has shed its tail."
Shang Youqing's mouth twitched slightly: "...So?"
"So," He Cong patted her head calmly, "Don't worry, honey. I have experience this time and won't be so flustered."
"I will prove to my wife that what I said before, that I can not only raise our son well, but also raise Youyou as our daughter, is not empty talk."
