Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1558: Chapter 1559: It’s Not That She Doesn’t Want to Hold Him, It’s That She Doesn’t Dare

Qi Xiaoqi’s event was quite lively. He’s good-looking and well-behaved, and today he’s particularly charming, smiling at everyone he meets. All the uncles and aunts can’t stop calling him a treasure, and when he got to Cheng Yaozu’s table, Cheng Yaozu started to compete with Ning Ge over the child.

Their ’competition’ wasn’t any regular competition; it was about which family’s daughter Qi Xiaoqi would eventually marry.

”You want to compete with me? My wife is already pregnant, ready to give birth any time. And you? You don’t even have a girlfriend, let alone a wife. How can you compete with me?” Cheng Yaozu said smugly, glancing at Ning Ge.

Ning Ge replied, ”Don’t be so smug. I might still beat you to it. Besides, he’s my godson!”

”Then there’s nothing more to say. Your godson and your daughter, isn’t that a mess...” Cheng Yaozu chuckled.

”The pot calling the kettle black. You’re still Qi Xiaoqi’s fourth uncle!” Ning Ge countered calmly.

Cheng Yaozu was taken aback and was at a loss for words.

Everyone burst into laughter.

”You guys should give it a rest. How old is the kid? My son is only a month old, and neither of you even has a shadow of a child to boast about!” Cheng Su said with a smile.

Qi Taiguo added, ”Whoever’s daughter turns out to be as good as my wife, that’s the one I’ll set up with my son.”

Ah, so it’s about having a son and then finding a daughter-in-law like my wife.

Cheng Su rolled her eyes; this guy is acting drunk without even drinking.

After the event, Qi Xiaoqi received quite a few red envelopes. Though these guests weren’t all wealthy, the amount was still quite substantial. And Cheng Su herself wasn’t one to covet those red envelope payouts.

When they returned to Mother-in-law’s table, there were mostly younger folks, so not many red envelopes were given, but with the presence of the in-laws, Qi Xiaoqi naturally received lots of affection.

”Come to Grandpa.” Father Qi reached out and held his grandson in his arms, his eyes full of unmistakable love and affection.

”Is everyone eating well? If there’s not enough food, we can add more.” Cheng Su asked with a smile.

”I’m full, Auntie, look at my tummy, it’s so big.” Qi Fenglian’s son Xiao Bao patted his round belly.

”Really? Then you shouldn’t eat more, or you’ll feel uncomfortable.” Cheng Su laughed, patting his little bald head, and said to Qi Fenglian, ”Make sure he drinks some hawthorn water to help him digest when you get home.”

”It’s okay; he ate well. I was watching.” Qi Fenglian replied.

Cheng Su nodded and asked Liu Wenjing’s two children politely, her demeanor so comprehensive that even the usually indifferent aunt took notice, secretly impressed. This niece-in-law might have a temper and be a tough cookie, but her actions were indeed impeccable.

While Cheng Su was chatting with the family, Qi Taiguo found something strange, but it wasn’t because of anything other than the fact that the son his father was holding looked odd to him.

Mother Qi had always longed for a grandson, yet now that her grandson was sitting right beside her in Father Qi’s arms, she didn’t even want to hold him. Wasn’t that strange?

You’d think her legs weren’t up to the task, but surely she could still hold a child, right? And yet, she didn’t show the slightest intention to hold him. Not only didn’t she hold him, but she also avoided eye contact with Xiao Qi.

What’s going on? This wasn’t in line with the behavior of the ever-hopeful-for-a-grandson Mother Qi!

Feeling puzzled, Qi Taiguo discreetly asked Cheng Su about it while they were seeing guests off.

”Thank you, take care!” Cheng Su waved to the guests with a smile and said, ”It’s not that Mom doesn’t want to hold him; she doesn’t dare to.”

Qi Taiguo was stunned. What does she mean, ’doesn’t dare’?
