Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1151: Chapter 1152: So Superficial

These days, whenever she made the Potion, there were a few times she boiled the water until it dried up, and then she had to add more water and boil it again. There were also a few times she added too much water, or she waited until it cooled down before bringing it to him.

He suddenly realized that, after all these years, he had indeed spoiled Duan Qingqing so much that she lacked even the most basic living skills.

And he didn’t understand why he had always thought Duan Qingqing was especially considerate and gently attentive toward him. In fact, now that he thought about it, all she did for him was to whisper sweet nothings he liked to hear, give him a light massage or a scratch; she would kiss him before he went to work, tidy up his collar, and occasionally bring him slippers or pour him a glass of water when he got home.

All this, Mother Xinian seemed to do even more in the past.

There was just one thing; Duan Qingqing was very much to his liking in bed.

Was it just because of this?

Meng Chaojun’s face suddenly felt burning hot.

Was he really such a shallow man?

Recently, with troubles at home and at the Duan Family, and Duan Qingqing’s heart seemingly always in turmoil, she had become even more negligent of him. And now she still wanted him to accompany her to the Duan Family?

In his physical and mental state, how could he possibly deal with Duan Feian’s mess?

It was then that Duan Qingqing finally noticed Meng Chaojun’s complexion; she paused, hurriedly asked, ”Is your head hurting again?”

”You never noticed?”

No, it wasn’t that she didn’t notice; she simply never looked at him.

”Isn’t it because I’ve been holding this child the whole time?” Duan Qingqing looked toward Meng Xinian, ”Xinian, you too, did you not see? Chiang Xiao’s Potion, shouldn’t you be rushing to give it to him...”

She didn’t finish her words as they faded at the consciousness of Meng Xinian’s icy stare.

”You have two choices, one is to take the child back to the Duan Family and come back by yourself,” Meng Xinian said, ”The other is, leave with the child, and don’t bother coming back.”

”What?” Duan Qingqing exclaimed, ”What do you mean by that? Meng Xinian! This is my home! I’m still your elder, and you really want me to leave?”

Her eyes reddened in an instant, and she turned to look at Meng Chaojun, ”Chao Jun, you be the judge!”

”If you send the child back, won’t there be no issue? I didn’t hear him say he wanted to drive you away,” said Meng Chaojun, massaging his temples.

Was his concern for her only worth a cursory ”Is your head hurting again”?

And then there was no follow-up.

Now he was suddenly doubting whether Duan Qingqing really loved him.

A chill crawled through Meng Chaojun’s heart.

Duan Qingqing hugged the child tighter and walked out, her eyes reddening.

”I’ll send him back right now.”

She suddenly realized the change in Meng Chaojun’s attitude toward her.

He used to never scold her like this; he would always directly curse at Meng Xi, but this time, he actually sided with Meng Xinian!

Duan Qingqing did not return to the Duan Family with the child either.

Her eldest brother surely didn’t dare to go home at this point; she knew him well. A man with no real ability, daring to cause trouble but afraid to face it; now the Kuang Family wanted to beat him up, so how could he dare go back?

If the child was sent back, who knows what the Kuang Family would do upon seeing him.

So in the end, Duan Qingqing had no choice but to take the child to the Gu Family.

Now, Gu Xin was the only one left at the Gu Family home.

Gu Xin’s parents had passed away early. Gu Xin had lived in the Duan Family for a long period and could be said to have grown up alongside Duan Qingqing.

Seeing her come with a child, Gu Xin hurriedly pulled her inside and locked the door behind them.
