Chapter 2: Tear the face of the mistress? Don't let her stay for the New Year
A deep male voice said with a smile: "Yes, it's a good thing that you prepared a diet for Xiaoye, so the child is raised so well."
Cheng Yan laughed out loud, lowered her head and teased the child for a few times, then said, "By the way, Xiao Ye will have the water bean vaccination next Wednesday, don't forget."
"Well, I will take him there myself." Li Zhinan said.
"Let me come too. This child can't live without me." Cheng Yan said, lowering her head and kissing the child's forehead.
Cheng Qian's throat felt as if being pinched by a hand, and her mind went blank.
"Okay, if you're not busy..."
"Xiao Ye is like my child now. I want to help him with everything he does personally..." Cheng Yan spoke with tenderness.
Li Zhinan did not object, but just smiled helplessly.
"Come on, Xiao Ye, call me mom again..."
The little boy, who was still ignorant, immediately opened his little mouth and shouted happily: "Mom...Mom!"
Cheng Yan's laughter was filled with deep maternal love.
Cheng Qian's heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife.
If Cheng Yan was just teasing the child, then what about Li Nanzhi?
He knew clearly that the child's mother was someone else, so how could he allow his son to call another woman "Mom"?
Did he forget to stop it, or did he simply not care.
"Li Zhinan, what do you want to do?" Cheng Qian raised her head and looked at the light coming from the box, her heart aching.
…
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Zhinan returned to the villa.
Li Siye fell asleep in his arms.
Cheng Qian, who had been angry for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in anymore and hurried downstairs.
The aunt sat in the living room holding Xiao Ye, who had just woken up, and used toys to coax him.
Cheng Qian shook off the tiredness of the journey and quickly reached out to hug him.
"Little master, mom is back, come and let mom hug you." Auntie coaxed hurriedly.
Cheng Qian reached out and just as she held her son in her arms, before she could kiss him, the little boy pushed her away in resistance: "No... Not Mommy."
Cheng Qian's whole body stiffened.
The aunt was also surprised, but she could understand. My wife hadn't been back home for ten months, and the child was at the age when he could recognize people, so it was no wonder that he didn't recognize her.
"Xiao Ye, I'm your mother." Cheng Qian suppressed her awkwardness and coaxed him softly.
"You're not..." The little guy pouted stubbornly, and the next second, he burst into tears.
At the foot of the stairs, a slender figure walked down quickly. Li Zhinan whispered, "Why did you make the child cry as soon as you came back?"
Cheng Qian's arms felt empty, and she saw the man carrying her son upstairs.
Cheng Qian suppressed her sad mood and went upstairs silently.
As soon as I arrived outside the master bedroom, I heard a conversation coming from inside.
"Well, she suddenly returned home, and the child is a little unfamiliar with her and doesn't want to get close to her."
"It's not your fault. She's just too busy with work and doesn't have time to accompany you."
"Go to bed early and don't stay up late."
This time, she didn't run away.
The door opened, and the man, holding the child in one hand and the phone in the other, turned around and looked at her with a frown.
Cheng Qian ignored his condemning look, walked over and hugged her son.
When the little boy saw the colorful balls in her hand, he immediately reached out to grab them and play with them.
A child over two years old has begun to develop self-awareness and the ability to distinguish, and his emotions are in the developmental stage. He does not really regard Cheng Yan as his mother, he just does not understand things yet.
…
After sleeping all night with her fair and tender son in her arms, Cheng Qian felt much better.
The little guy was lying on the bed with his legs spread out in a diaper, with the sunlight pouring in from the window. He looked as cute as a little angel.
Cheng Qian bent down and kissed his little forehead, and the relationship between mother and son finally became closer.
There was a knock on the door.
Cheng Qian opened the door, thinking it was Mrs. Liu asking her to go downstairs for breakfast, but she saw Li Zhinan in a suit.
"At half past nine, Xiao Ye has to go to the thinking class. Will you take him there or should I?"
Cheng Qian was stunned. Her son went to school? How come she didn't know about this?
“When did he sign up for classes?” Is it really necessary for a child who is only two and a half years old to study?
Li Zhinan said calmly, "He has been taking the course for three months. The teacher is very responsible and patient. He likes going to class very much."
Cheng Qian frowned and said, "Then take a day off today. I'll take care of him at home."
"The course requires continuous learning, and it's not a good idea to take leave." Li Zhinan was also very persistent.
Cheng Qian crossed her arms and said calmly, "I haven't taken him with me for ten months. Please understand how much I miss him."
Li Zhinan clearly felt that Cheng Qian's attitude had changed after returning to China for further studies.
"Okay!" Li Zhinan lowered his voice, no longer insisting, and walked downstairs with his body straight.
After breakfast, Cheng Qian played building blocks with her son in the living room. A news item was playing on the TV in the living room.
#Following the acquisition of Dr. Cheng's laboratory three years ago, Li's Group has welcomed another strategic investment, acquiring a stake in Cheng's Bioengineering. This investment will serve as a major expansion of XS (Xinsheng) Biotechnology Company, and is in recognition of the project's development prospects and industry value. #
#Bio's stock price has been rising steadily, attracting widespread attention#
Cheng Qian's pretty face turned pale. Cheng's Biology was a pharmaceutical company founded by her uncle Cheng Xian by copying her father's company.
Now, with the funding from Li Zhinan, not only has the market value doubled, but the reputation of Cheng Group has also been rising, and it has become a leading company in this industry.
Li Zhinan actually made such a decision. Cheng Qian was so disappointed that she couldn't describe herself.
After the news, there was a speech by the Cheng family. As the eldest daughter of the Cheng Group, Cheng Yan had an impressive resume.
A top student in the Department of Biology at Harvard University in the United States, he studied under famous teachers, participated in 26 research projects, and holds 38 personal patents. Among the younger generation, he is already a leader.
Cheng Qian stared at the TV screen, while Cheng Yan stood beside her father with ease, a confident smile on her bright face.
Did Li Zhinan lose his memory or become mentally retarded?
Knowing that his father's achievements were stolen and that her relationship with the Cheng family was extremely tense, he actually invested in the Cheng family's business.
At this moment, Cheng Qian felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart. Perhaps it was time to put an end to it.
As it was getting late, Cheng Qian asked her best friend to go shopping.
She was with her son, who was dressed in a bun, and saw someone waving at her not far away.
"Xiao Qian, here!"
Cheng Qian squeezed through the crowd and walked towards her. This was her best friend, Lin Si, a girl from a wealthy family.
"Wow, the little guy has grown so big, with a round head and a chubby face, so cute." Lin Si excitedly pinched the little guy's face.
Cheng Qian looked at her son with tenderness in her eyes: "Yes, the child changes every day. I didn't expect that after a trip abroad, he would weigh 30 kilograms. My hands are a little sore from holding him now."
"Big fat boy, this meat is so easy to squeeze." Lin Si was reluctant to let go of his fingers, it was too tender and sticky.
"Don't... pinch me." The little guy got angry and pushed Lin Si's fingers away with his little hands.
"Oh, you have a temper." Lin Si laughed.
"Let's go to the restaurant first." Cheng Qian changed her arm to hold the baby. The little guy was really strong.
They made their way through the crowd, heading towards the restaurant.
Suddenly, Lin Si turned around and quickly stood to Cheng Qian's left, as if blocking something.
Cheng Qian hadn't walked on such a hot street for a long time, and looked around.
"Hey, don't look over here, there's something dirty." Lin Si saw her turn her head and she quickly raised her hand.
Cheng Qian still saw it.
Not far away, in front of a stall specializing in festive gadgets, a tall and slender figure wearing a black cotton coat was standing next to a woman in a bright blue jacket.
Cheng Yan reached out to pick a festive little doll, and Li Zhinan casually paid the boss with his mobile phone.
The woman happily gestured the doll toward her handbag.
The man reached out gently and hung the little doll on her bag for her.
Cheng Yan was as happy as a child and made several naughty expressions to Li Zhinan.
Shen Zhinan reached out and touched her long hair, motioning her to go forward.
Cheng Qian seemed to be nailed to the spot, but the little boy in her arms opened his mouth and shouted: "Dad...Mom, I'm here...Wait for me."
Cheng Qian used all her strength to hug her son, but he still opened his arms and cried in that direction: "Dad, Mom, don't you want Xiaoye anymore?"
"Um... I want mommy and daddy..." The little guy kept pointing in that direction with his chubby little fingers.
When people around saw this scene, they wondered if Cheng Qian was the child's nanny.
"What's going on?" Lin Si was very surprised: "Why isn't Xiaoye calling you mom?"
Cheng Qian was also hit hard and said bitterly, "It's a long story, let's go upstairs and talk about it."
Lin Si took out a hawthorn like a magic trick to coax the child.
While waiting for the order, Cheng Qian recounted the incident. Lin Si angrily slammed the table and said, "This couple..."
"Xiao Qian, why didn't you rush over and tear that mistress's face? Keep her here for the New Year." Lin Si said angrily.
"I don't want to make a fuss. There's no need for that." Cheng Qian believes that someone who is not loved is more like a mistress, and if she makes a fuss, it will only embarrass herself.
Besides, she knew that Li Zhinan married her not out of love, but out of responsibility.
Since there was no love from the beginning, these past few years of making do have reached their limit.
"Are you planning to get a divorce?" Lin Si asked in shock.
Cheng Qian did not comment, but just looked at her young son in her arms sadly.
"Do you really want to get a divorce?" Lin Si felt a little sorry. Li Zhinan was now rich enough to rival a country. His wealth was like a deep-sea behemoth. He was young and promising. If they divorced, it would be difficult to find a man with both good looks and wealth like him.
"Yeah!" Cheng Qian's eyes flashed, and she looked out the window, as if she had made up her mind.
Lin Si didn't try to persuade him anymore.
"Okay, I support you." Lin Si said distressedly: "What about the child? Who will the child be with?"
Cheng Qian's eyes darkened: "I don't want anything except the child."
"Xiao Qian, I think it will be difficult for you to get a divorce." Lin Si foresaw the result, which would definitely not be ideal.
Cheng Qian also knew that it would be difficult to take the child's custody away from Li Zhinan, but she would never let her son call another woman "Mom" again.
