Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1902: Chapter 1904: Change Lies in the Word ”Change

Unable to linger at the Cheng family, Cheng Su hurriedly left with Qi Xiaoqi. She needed to ask Qi Taiguo what this Aid Africa mission was all about. Was it to the epidemic area or somewhere else?

As soon as Cheng Su left, Cheng Yaozu got a scolding from Ying Xiaoya: ”People are already so anxious and heartbroken, yet you’re adding fuel to the fire, talking about how contagions spread. Are you trying to stab her heart?”

It really infuriated her, this person just couldn’t talk properly.

Cheng Yaozu quickly soothed her: ”Alright, alright, it’s my foul mouth, my loose tongue. Don’t be mad, take care not to disturb your pregnancy, you might harm our little princess.”

As he spoke, he gently caressed her belly.

Ying Xiaoya spat at him, pinched his ear, and glanced at her father-in-law, then quickly lowered her hand, speaking worriedly: ”Surely he won’t actually go to those places, right? If he really gets infected with some virus, then...” That would truly be a serious matter!

”Don’t worry, he won’t. I read his face, he has a long life ahead, living for decades won’t be a problem!” Cheng Yaozu reassured.

Ying Xiaoya said: ”Susu must be so saddened; even under the best circumstances, they’d have to be apart for a year or half a year!”

Old Master Cheng said: ”Qi Taiguo is a soldier; these things can’t be helped. She must learn to accept it to grow.” Though he spoke like that, his eyes were not devoid of concern.

Since even Old Master Cheng had spoken, Ying Xiaoya and the others couldn’t say much more, only thinking of calling Cheng Su to the house for a talk in a couple of days to ease her worries. They didn’t want her to constantly overthink and end up scaring herself.

...

Qi Xiaoqi hugged Cheng Su’s neck and asked: ”What does Aid Africa mean?”

Cheng Su had matters weighing on her mind, but when her son asked, she didn’t hide it and said: ”That’s when a country extends a hand to help another country do what they can to build international friendship and gain support.”

Qi Xiaoqi tilted his head, his little eyebrow furrowed into a character shape.

”Generally speaking, it’s a kind of camaraderie tactic,” Cheng Su said. ”Right now, our country, in the global context, isn’t considered strong yet. There’s an organization, well, let’s call it an organization, known as the United Nations...”

She stopped walking, looked at Qi Xiaoqi, and asked: ”Don’t you understand?”

Qi Xiaoqi shook his head.

”In your past life, what kind of place did you live in?” Cheng Su asked him.

Qi Xiaoqi pursed his lips, the mother and son locked eyes.

”Forget it, if you don’t want to say, then so be it.” Cheng Su had no intention of pressing further; at the moment, Qi Taiguo was the priority. She said: ”Anyway, that’s the situation; your dad is going to Aid Africa, and that country isn’t very safe.” With that, she picked up her pace again.

”You’re afraid,” Qi Xiaoqi pointed out her inner state.

Cheng Su’s steps paused again and she said: ”Yes, I’m afraid.”

”Why?” Qi Xiaoqi asked, ”Don’t you believe in him? If he’s going, he has the skill to return.”

Cheng Su showed a bitter smile: ”It’s not that I don’t believe in him; I don’t believe in change. Xiaoqi, change happens inadvertently, it’s unpredictable; we can’t know what the future holds.”

”But you know, don’t you?”

Cheng Su looked at him.

Qi Xiaoqi said: ”Aren’t you a Prophet? You know what the future will be like!”

Cheng Su covered his mouth and said: ”I know the general trend, but I don’t know how we’ll turn out specifically. Xiaoqi, it’s still the same line: change happens inadvertently. Even if I know, variations might still arise. Because in change, there’s that word ’change.’ Do you understand?”
