Chapter 351 - If You’Re Just Rubbernecking, You Wouldn’T Care If The Matter Became More Serious

Chapter 351: If You’re Just Rubbernecking, You Wouldn’t Care If the Matter Became More Serious

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Miss Yao is still here too,” said Ruan Danchen coolly.

Yao Jingfei snorted in disdain. “My dad is a board member of this company. It’s normal for me to talk with him for a while before I leave. Let’s talk about you. Why are you still around after the interview has ended? You even brought your son here.”

Ruan Danchen did not want to lower herself to her level, so she said, “Yeah, I heard someone say that the staff’s cafeteria of Qilin is quite decent, so I thought that I should take this opportunity to try its food no matter the result of the interview. That’s why I brought my son here, too. You should know that he’s from a single-parent family. The food at the staff’s cafeteria is nicer than the food that he usually gets to eat.”

Ruan Danchen did not hesitate in calling Qi Youxuan her son. Qi Youxuan was overjoyed when he heard that, so he did not mind Ruan Danchen lying about his background. He stood happily beside Ruan Danchen with a reddened face.

Besides, he was used to his uncle and father making up stories.

He did, however, think that she had been influenced by his father because Ruan Danchen was such an honest person, but she had learned how to lie to others now.

Yao Jingfei was not suspicious of her words at all. Her eyes were filled with contempt, and she said mockingly, “You all surely had a lot of food during lunch?”

“Yeah, we are so full now.” Ruan Danchen nodded, straightaway seeing her as a gullible young girl and did not want to lower herself to that level.

“Why don’t you order some takeout food so that he can bring the food back? Chances like this are hard to come by; you probably won’t come here in the future anymore.” Yao Jingfei replied frankly, not caring to speak discreetly. She sneered at Ruan Danchen scornfully and did not conceal her disdain.

“Oh, can I order takeout food at the staff’s cafeteria? I assumed that takeout was not available, so I was embarrassed to ask,” said Ruan Danchen regretfully.

She began to understand why Great Grandmother Qi loved to act now.

“It’s OK. We could come here and eat every day,” piped up Qi Youxuan from beside her. The little boy was in wonderful spirits now.

He raised his head to stare at Yao Jingfei. “Aunt, are you coming for the interview as well?”

Yao Jingfei reluctantly nodded.

“Oh, what a pity. You will surely fail the interview, I wonder whether the staff’s cafeteria is still open or not; why don’t you go try their food? You won’t have a chance to do it in the future!” said Qi Youxuan in his soft and crisp voice. Suddenly, his nose felt blocked, so he inserted a finger into one of his nostrils.

After picking his nose for a while, he managed to dig out a lump of snot. He rolled it into a ball and flicked it off his finger.

Yao Jingfei stared at the little boy. What horrid behavior! “You’re just a little boy– what do you know? Why would I fail my interview?!”

“There’s only one vacancy, right? My mum will surely pass the interview. If she fails the interview, I’ll change my family name into yours 1.” Qi Youxuan raised his head and stood straight. Yao Jingfei felt that his extremely confident disposition was very annoying. She fumed.

“Since she has passed the interview, surely you will not get the job. How could you ask me such a simple question?”

Yao Jingfei saw Qi Youxuan staring at her disdainfully, and she trembled in anger.

The little boy was looking at her like she was an idiot.

“Aunt, won’t it be too difficult for you to get a job at such a big company with your IQ?” asked Qi Youxuan.

When he asked her that, Yao Jingfei felt like it was the same as him asking her whether she knew how to write or not. She was furious!

“You—” Yao Jingfei clenched her teeth and she suddenly turned her head to face Ruan Danchen. “How do you raise your child? Why is he so rude and bad-mannered?”

Ruan Danchen was still astonished; she had not gathered her thoughts after Youxuan had called her mom. She had never imagined anyone would call her mom for the rest of her life, and she had never thought that Qi Youxuan would be the one calling her mom.

She lowered her head involuntarily and looked at Qi Youxuan. She did not understand the reason the little boy suddenly called her mom. Previously, she felt sad when he called her “Aunt Ruan”, but she bore with it and was used to it now.

Sheheld Qi Youxuan’s hands tightly. Qi Youxuan raised his head and looked at her.

Qi Youxuan grinned when he saw Ruan Danchen’s expression. She was touched. His tiny white teeth were revealed when he grinned warmly.

After seeing his grin, Ruan Danchen did not have the heart to reproach him, even if he had said something rude. Besides, she thought that Qi Youxuan did not say anything wrong.

“Children and fools tell the truth. Miss Yao, please don’t bother about his words. Besides, what you just said to me was not very polite, and I see no difference in manners between you and him.” Ruan Danchen finally turned her head to stare at Yao Jingfei. She smiled at her indifferently and spoke in a gentle voice.

Yao Jingfei clenched her fist, wondering how she had missed Ruan Danchen’s sharp tongue previously.

Based on what Ruan Danchen had just said, wasn’t she implying that Yao Jingfei was behaving improperly like a child?

“Ruan Danchen, I see that your attitude had changed a lot after the interview! Don’t think that Young Master Lin has taken a fancy to you just because he treated you differently during the interview. You should stop daydreaming. Look at yourself: you’re a single mother with a son, and you’re still fantasizing? He just talked to you for a little longer than others, and you’re behaving like you’re Mrs. Qi? Come on!” Yao Jingfei sized her up contemptuously and snorted. “Please know your place. They would keep the job for me anyway. You could see this interview as a fine memory and remember it. I suppose this would be your only chance to be here.”

Suddenly, they heard a man talking with a cold and deep voice. “Why is it so noisy? Please take note of your volume; this is a public place, not a place for you all to quarrel.”

Ruan Danchen and Qi Youxuan turned their heads toward the direction in which they heard footsteps and saw Cheng Dongge walking towards them.

Qi Cheng was beside him, while Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu walked behind him. Song Yu was walking slowly with Qi Chengzhi by her side, so they were two to three meters behind Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue.

Ruan Danchen stared at them in surprise. She saw Song Yu blink her eyes at her furtively.

Ruan Danchen smiled at her and winked at them, but she did not greet them because she did not want to reveal her status.

The little boy was about to greet his uncles and aunts when Qi Chengzhi stopped him with an intense gaze.

Qi Youxuan felt very uncomfortable because he had to hold his tongue. However, when he saw his uncle’s mischievous expression, he blinked his large eyes and stared back at him naughtily.

All the staff at Qilin knew about Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue’s relationship, so naturally, Yao Jingfei knew about it as well. She dared not behave arrogantly in front of Cheng Dongge even if she was the daughter of a board member. Her proud expression immediately vanished, and she said politely, “Mr. Cheng, Miss Qi.”

Qi Chengyue nodded at her coldly. Cheng Dongge said, “Miss Yao, I remember that you’re the daughter of Board Member Yao.”

“I’m surprised that Mr. Cheng still remembers me,” said Yao Jingfei. She felt ecstatic.

Cheng Dongge did not explain further, saying indifferently, “Qilin is our official workplace, and the lobby is the first place that everyone would pass by if a person comes to our company. No matter what upsets Miss Yao, it’s inappropriate to quarrel with others here.”

Yao Jingfei blushed after being criticized by him, but she dared not retort. She could only say embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, I’ll take note of that in the future.”

“Aunt, will you be coming here in the future? I told you that you’d fail your interview, right?” said Qi Youxuan rudely.

“You shouldn’t talk like that. She is the daughter of a board member of this company, so it’s no big deal if she comes to visit her father,” said Ruan Danchen gently.

Yao Jingfei was blushing furiously as Qi Youxuan asked curiously, “What is a board member?”

“A person who owns shares of a company,” explained Ruan Danchen.

“Oh.” Qi Youxuan nodded. “No wonder she is so confident to say that they will keep the job for her and you won’t get the job.”

By now, Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu had reached them. Qi Chengzhi asked in a deep and cold voice, “Really? Did Miss Yao say that?”

Yao Jingfei dared not admit it when she was facing Qi Chengzhi. She heard Qi Chengzhi say frigidly, “I suppose that Miss Yao mistook our intentions. Qilin does not consider your background during the interview. We only look at your abilities.”

After Qi Chengzhi said that, he left with Song Yu.

Yao Jingfei lowered her head. She was extremely embarrassed. She did not see Cheng Dongge smile and nod to Ruan Danchen. Qi Chengyue winked at her and Qi Youxuan too.

Qi Youxuan waved his little hand and he mouthed a farewell to Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue.

After that, Ruan Danchen ignored Yao Jingfei and left with Qi Youxuan.

When they were in the elevator, Qi Chengyue could not help but ask, “Board Member Yao and his daughter haven’t found out about it?”

Cheng Dongge paused for a while, then he said, “Board Member Yao had indeed given prior notice about his daughter to the managers of each department before the interview. He even talked to the manager of the human resources department to pull the strings. If Yao Jingfei fails to get into Qilin, Board Member Yao will never let this incident pass.”

Qi Chengzhi held Song Yu’s hand and smiled at her mischievously. “Let’s go to Chenglin’s office first. That Miss Yao was so rude to Xiao Ruan, let’s see what Chenglin would think of her.”

Suddenly, she felt that Yao Jingfei was quite pitiful.

…

…

Xiao Yang stopped his car in front of the entrance of Jiaxia Elementary School. Qi Youxuan was still blushing before he exited the car. “Goodbye,” said Qi Youxuan bashfully as he got out of the car immediately.

“Youxuan,” shouted Ruan Danchen as she chased after the little boy.

Qi Youxuan halted in front of the school’s entrance.

“Youxuan, you called me mom when you were talking with Aunt Yao just now, right?” Ruan Danchen stared at the little boy’s face. She felt like her heart was beating in her throat.

Qi Youxuan’s cheeks flamed. She had seen Qi Youxuan blush before, but never so red.

He lowered his head bashfully and felt too shy to reply. He kept quiet for quite some time.

Ruan Danchen was waiting for his response anxiously beside him. After a while, she saw the little boy raise his head and tug at her down jacket bashfully with his gloved hands. Then he said quietly, “Just now you told the aunt that I’m your son, right?”

Qi Youxuan lifted his arms to his chest and lowered his head. He tugged at his gloves repeatedly. “Actually, I’ve always wanted you to be my mom. I don’t want to call you Aunt Ruan anymore. It is also very troublesome to call you that because I have to say two words.”

He lifted his head and blinked his large eyes. She felt sorry for him when she saw his nervous expression. “Don’t you want me to call you that? Is it because you and Dad are not married yet or because I’m not your son, so you don’t want me to call you mom?”

Ruan Danchen felt her heart warm, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“No, I would love that!” said Ruan Danchen firmly. She could not hold back her tears anymore. She quickly wiped them away. “I was afraid that you may be reluctant to call me mom. I don’t want to force you to do anything. I truly like it when you call me mom– I really like it. Youxuan, can you continue calling me mom in the future?”

Qi Youxuan blushed. He was pinching the edge of his shirt nervously. He lowered his head and said, “If you like, I’ll always call you mom.”

Ruan Danchen did not want to burst into tears in front of a child, but she could not stop them. She leaned forward and hugged Qi Youxuan tightly. “Please just call me mom in the future, okay? I like it when you call me mom, I have been waiting for it for too long.”

Slowly, Ruan Danchen felt his little arms hug her back. “I really hope I can find a person whom I can call her mom too, but I don’t simply call anyone mom. I only feel like calling you mom.”

Ruan Danchen felt that her wish had finally come true after so many years. She felt like her heart was touching his heart and all their blood vessels were connected.

She could not help but tilt her head and kiss Qi Youxuan’s soft cheeks. His delicate cheeks were completely red and cold because of the strong wind.

After a while, Qi Youxuan let go of her. Ruan Danchen wiped away her tears and said, “Quickly go to your classroom now. You’re going to be late.”

Ruan Danchen adjusted his hat, hating to part with him now.

When Ruan Danchen saw him running to the school like a little white bear, she could not help but shout, “Slow down, stop running.”

The little boy did not turn his head around, but he slowed down and walked.

After he turned a corner, he knew that Ruan Danchen could no longer see him. Then he turned his head around and stretched his neck to peep at Ruan Danchen and saw that she was still standing at the entrance and gazing at the direction in which he left.

In this freezing winter, Qi Youxuan’s heartfelt warm. He truly experienced the feeling of being loved by his mother.

He sniffed and removed the glove of his right hand. Then, he used his right hand to wipe away his tears and walked to his classroom.

“Qi Youxuan, why are your eyes so red?” Shen Manman who was sitting in front of him turned her head around and asked him.

“The wind is too strong,” said Qi Youxuan proudly as he lifted his chin.

“Really? Why do I feel like you just cried,” said Shen Manman doubtfully. “Did anyone bully you?”

“How is that possible? My dad and mom won’t let anyone bully me.” Qi Youxuan sat straight and put on a proud and confident face.

His round face turned redder like an apple because the classroom was quite warm compared to the temperature outside. There were heaters installed in his classroom.

“Mom? Since when do you have a mom?” asked Shen Manman curiously.

Everyone in Jixia Elemental School knew that Qi Youxuan was Qi Chenglin’s son and they also knew that he was raised by only his father since he was born.

“Could it be that your mother is the aunt who was standing at the entrance at that time? Is she marrying your dad?” asked Shen Manman.

“Why are you asking so many questions? This is my family matter. How could you pry into others’ matters? Let me tell you, it’s useless even if you try to win her favor. I’m not going to marry you, so you should give up now!” said the little boy smugly and he tilted his head with his chin lifted highly. Then, he snorted.

Shen Manman was furious and embarrassed. She felt that Qi Youxuan was so annoying. How could he talk like that in the classroom in the presence of all their classmates? Besides, he talked so loudly, now everyone knew about her feelings for him!

Even if she truly liked him, he should not talk like that!

She had never been so embarrassed before. She was blushing furiously, and tears started to well up in her large eyes. Suddenly, she started sobbing.

“You- You’re so annoying!” Shen Manman stood up and covered her face with her hands and ran out of the classroom while crying.

“Hmph, Mumu is the only one in my heart. I really hate homewreckers,” said Qi Youxuan very seriously as he did not feel sorry for her at all.

His desk-mate said nothing.

…

…

At night, Ruan Danchen had already prepared all the ingredients for dinner. She would only start cooking after Qi Chenglin and Qi Youxuan came back home so that the dishes would not turn cold.

After she heard the doorbell, Ruan Danchen hurried to open the door. She saw Qi Chenglin and Qi Youxuan was standing at the doorway.

Qi Chenglin asked Qi Youxuan to change his shoes first. Ruan Danchen had already prepared his little slippers for him

Qi Youxuan untied his shoelaces nimbly with his little chubby fingers and changed into slippers. He raised his head and looked at Ruan Danchen, then he blushed. He twitched his belly as he was very shy to call her mom again even though he was happy to see her. He did not just blurt it out like what he did at noon just now.

Ruan Danchen understood his feelings, so she said gently, “It’s okay if you’re still not used to it. You can call me ‘Aunt Ruan’ as usual. It’s enough that I know that you intend to call me mom.”

Suddenly, the little boy was extremely embarrassed. He mumbled a few words bashfully, then he ran to his room. There was a flapping sound as he ran because he was wearing slippers.

Qi Chenglin entered the house and watched Qi Youxuan run upstairs. He changed into slippers and asked, “What’s happened to him?”

Ruan Danchen’s heartfelt warm when she recalled what happened at noon. She took Qi Chenglin’s coat and walked into the bedroom with him.

When Qi Chenglin was changing his clothes, Ruan Danchen informed him that Qi Youxuan had called her mom at noon.

“He called me mom even though he is unaware of the truth. I’m very happy. I had already decided to keep him in the dark for his whole life and I’m ready to hear him calling me ‘Aunt Ruan’ for the rest of my life. I’d never expected I could hear him calling me mom. I’m content. Even if it only happens once, I’m truly delighted.” Ruan Danchen smiled contentedly.

“I think that he’s still not used to calling me mom. He wanted to call me mom, but he’s too shy to say it out loud. That’s why he blushed and ran away.” Ruan Danchen smiled involuntarily when she thought of Qi Youxuan’s adorable expression just now.

Qi Chenglin had just unbuttoned his shirt. He had not removed it yet, but his chest was revealed. She could see his muscular chest and six-pack. It was so alluring when he only revealed a part of his sexy body.

Suddenly, Ruan Danchen felt like she was unable to continue talking. She was startled by his attractive body.

Qi Chenglin walked toward her and embraced her. Ruan Danchen shook slightly and hugged him around his waist. They continued hugging each other tightly for a while.

“I never thought of keeping him in the dark for his whole life. At first, I planned to find an opportunity to explain to him and make him understand your situation after we were married. Mustn’t we let him know that his own mother was already by his side all the time? It would be better for both of you if he finds out that you’re his biological mother,” said Qi Chenglin in deep and husky voice.

He never told her about his opinion regarding this matter before, so Ruan Danchen did not know that he had planned to do that.

Besides, this was the first time he talked about their marriage. Unexpectedly, he already had a plan without her knowing.

She also never expected that he never wanted her to keep Qi Youxuan in the dark for the rest of her life.

Extra scenes:

After Yao Jingfei left, Qi Chengzhi and the others went to Qi Chenglin’s office at noon.

Qi Chengzhi said, “I bumped into Yao Jingfei and Danchen on the ground floor just now.

“Yao Jingfei was showing off in front of Ruan Danchen.”

Qi Chenglin did not reply. He called Manager Zou of the design department. “Manager Zou, please create a vacancy for an assistant designer in the design department.”

After a moment of silence, Qi Chengyu said, “Bro, are you actually offering Yao Jingfei a job? Just ignore her father if he comes asking about it. Yao Qingzhi thinks that he’s a very important person.”

Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows coolly, “It’s easier to seek revenge if she was under me.”

Qi Chengyue fell silent.
