Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1464: Chapter 1465: When Trouble Comes

It rained heavily all night, and when Cheng Su woke up the next day, there was still a drizzle outside the window. It seemed relentless, and who knows how long it would last.

The sound of children came from outside the room. When she opened the door, Deng Weixia’s son was lying on the sofa, with Gou Sheng watching him and mumbling something.

”Gou Sheng, why are you watching your little brother?” Cheng Su asked with a smile, pinching his little face.

”Mom is cooking.” Gou Sheng replied obediently.

”Gou Sheng is such a good boy, and a good big brother, already a little man!” Cheng Su praised.

Gou Sheng bashfully smirked and puffed up his little chest.

After Qi Fengping went back, Liu Wenjing took the initiative to take on the task of caring for Cheng Su. She didn’t do much, just cooked meals and cleaned up a bit.

”You’ve worked hard these days.” Cheng Su said gratefully.

Liu Wenjing quickly replied, ”Don’t say that. We’re staying at your place and eating your food, so doing some chores is nothing.”

”It’s not quite like that. None of this is your responsibility.” Cheng Su smiled gently.

Liu Wenjing said, ”Weixia said it’s all thanks to you and Cousin that we have a place to stay and he has a job. We’ll always remember your kindness.”

”We’re family...”

As Cheng Su started to speak, Qi Taiguo walked in from outside.

”How come you’re soaked through? Didn’t you take an umbrella?” Cheng Su frowned and stood up seeing him come in drenched.

”It’s okay. I have a task I need to leave for immediately, just came back to fetch some things.” Qi Taiguo said.

”What?” Cheng Su frowned even more deeply.

Going on a mission at a time like this, especially in this weather, what task?

Qi Taiguo entered the room, closed the door, and told her there had been continuous heavy rains, flooding many areas and causing disasters.

”Do you have to go too?” Cheng Su held her large belly.

Qi Taiguo said, ”An important weapon professor is trapped in one of the disaster areas; it’s quite close to us. We need to mobilize some people to go and assist.”

Cheng Su acknowledged with an ”oh.”

As Qi Taiguo packed his things, he said, ”During the days I’m away, you need to take care, and tell Weixia and them not to move to the rented place yet, also to keep an eye on things. Ask mom to come over early.”

Cheng Su said, ”I know, the baby isn’t due until next month.”

”You can’t be complacent. Didn’t the doctor say it might come a little early? It’s always better to be prepared.” Qi Taiguo wanted to advise more but Liu Wenjing knocked at the door, saying Mother Qi was calling.

Cheng Su let Qi Taiguo continue packing while she answered the call.

Mother Qi didn’t say much over the phone, just mentioned that she was setting out for Qing City and might arrive around two or three in the afternoon.

Cheng Su looked out the window at the drizzle and said, ”Mom, why not come a few days later? The weather is really bad right now!”

”How can that be? Wenjing is quite careless; I’m not sure if she can cook. And besides, the baby is due next month, and I’m bringing some mountain herbs for you to drink, so the baby is fair-skinned and tender when born.”

Cheng Su wanted to say more, but Qi Taiguo came out, gesturing for him to speak. He didn’t say anything much, just mentioned that Qi Fenglian should wait at the train station to pick her up, and then ended the call.

”In this weather, coming in a couple of days would be fine!” Cheng Su disagreed vehemently.

”Don’t be stubborn, you won’t get wet in the car, and perhaps the weather will clear soon.” Qi Taiguo said, ”I have to go, take care of everything!”

”You too!” Cheng Su saw him off at the door, and listening to the rain intensify, her brows furrowed tightly.
