her mouth to ask. 。"Since you're already here, why are you asking me what's up If you didn't know, you wouldn't have come." 。 。Ye Wen: What else could Qiao Shunchen do for me Qin Jingwen wants a publi...The more Qiao Zixuan spoke, the worse his mood became, and the lower his head drooped.

Qin Jingwen looked at him with heartache, knelt down and hugged Qiao Zixuan in her arms.

"...."

Just as I was about to offer comfort, unexpectedly, I heard Qiao Zixuan's extremely tiny voice.

"I don't like Mommy, I don't want to live with her."

A child's casual words deeply wounded Qin Jingwen's heart, and also reminded her of the child she had sent away.

Joe's relationship with his biological mother isn't good. How much worse is it with his stepmother Is he living a miserable life

Thinking of these things, Qin Jingwen's heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, a little blood seeping out with each prick, the pain spreading little by little.

"Huxin, Mommy and Daddy love you. They're just too busy to communicate with you as much as they'd like, so things have become a bit distant. You'll understand when you grow up."

Qin Jingwen tried to comfort the child, no matter what, she couldn't let the young heart be shrouded in gloom.

"Mommy is not busy, Mommy stays home every day. Her only job is to take care of Daddy."

Joe was still talking, his voice laced with grievance, and he couldn't hold back a sob.

In his aunt's embrace, he could feel the warmth and completely relax. But in front of Mommy and Daddy, he had to be well-behaved and obedient, like a grown-up. He couldn't show any weakness, not even shedding a tear, as if it were a huge mistake.

"Xuan Xuan..."

Qin Jingwen wanted to comfort Qiao Zixuan out of sympathy, but she discovered the child's suppression. She then changed her tone.

"If XuanXuan wants to cry, let her cry. Children should cry when they feel wronged, don't hold it in."

Qin Jingwen's single sentence caused Qiao Zixuan to break down in tears. He began to cry loudly and embrace her tightly.

One side of the crescent moon couldn't help but cry.

"The young master should go home."

The housekeeper arrived a bit late today, but he saw Qiao Zixuan's pitiful scene just now.

"Don't cry anymore, your family is here to pick you up."

Qin Jingwen quickly soothed him.

As Qiao Zixuan walked away, Qin Jingwen's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The child seems to have too many grievances, and can't speak them out. They can only keep them in their heart and bear them alone. However, this is not, and should not be, something a five-year-old child should have to carry.

"Mommy, my brother is so pitiful. His family has much better conditions than ours. Both his father and mother are there, but I feel he's not as happy as me."

Ban Yue sat in the back seat of the car, still thinking about poor Qiao Zixuan.

"Yeah, Xuxu brother is a bit repressed."

Qin Jingwen certainly didn't think so. Even with both parents around, she still couldn't see the unique naughtiness and coquettishness of her child.

"Mommy, let's invite Brother Xuan out to play with us and relax him a bit."

Upon receiving Qin Jing's proposal, Wen warmly agreed.

But getting Qiao Shunchen's consent would probably be difficult.

After dinner, Qin Jingwen called Qiao Shunchen.

"Joe, I want to take Half Moon to the amusement park and I'd like to invite Xu Xuan to come along."

“...”

Qiao Shunchen remained silent, his dark eyes clouded as he pondered carefully.

"Joe, are you listening I don't mean anything by it, and you don't have to overthink it. I'll bring Xuxu back this evening, both you and Xuxu's mom don't need to come along."

Qin Jingwen knew Qiao Shunchen was listening to her phone call. She remained silent, which meant he must have been guessing that she was plotting another scheme to seduce him. So, she decided to explain herself.

"Give me the time and place, I'll contact you tomorrow morning."

Joe Shunchen spoke softly and then hung up the phone directly.

"What does this mean Is it okay or not This arrogant man is so speechless."

Qin Jingwen looked at the phone in her hand and muttered to herself, but she still sent the planned location and time to Qiao Shunchen by text message.

The next morning.

Qin Jingwen had packed up early and, with Half Moon in tow, headed to B City's largest park—an island combining leisure, recreation, and entertainment.

Standing at the entrance of the park, waiting for Qiao Zixuan, but unsure if he would come.

Yesterday Qiao Shunchen said he would call, but he hasn't called yet. However, Ban Yue and Qin Jingwen have been waiting.

The park's gate was very big, and there were a lot of people playing. It was very difficult to find someone in the crowd.

As Qin Jing was looking around anxiously, Qiao Shunchen's assistant appeared before her.

"Mr. Sun"

"Miss Qin, Mr. Qiao sent me to pick you up. He and the young master are already waiting inside."

Although Qin Jingwen was surprised, she still got on the sightseeing bus with Sun Xu and headed towards the park.

The place Sun Xu brought them to was a children's playground, but besides them there wasn't a single person.

"Auntie!"

Seeing Qin Jingwen, Qiao Zixuan flew into her arms like a bird.

"Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan is so happy today."

Qin Jing is warm and affectionate, especially towards children. She believes that if you are kind to other people's children, others will be kind to her own.

"Well, I'm happy. This is Daddy's first time playing with me outside, it feels so good."

The child spoke innocently, their thoughts transparent and unhidden.

"Well, that's good."

Qin Jingwen led a person to Qiao Shunchen's face.

“I didn't invite you, you came on your own, so don't doubt my sincerity.”

It's better to be straightforward so that people don't think you're manipulative.

"I suspect it was you who laid the trap."

Qiao Shunchen spoke coldly.

"You... well then, let me ask you. Since you know this is a trap I set, why did you come"

Qin Jingwen this time no longer dodged, anyway could not change the self-important man's idea, simply countered by asking him how he would answer.

"...."

Yes, why would he still be here if he knew her intentions

Qiao Shunchen's dark eyes were deep and cold as he looked at Qin Jingwen, without answering her question.

Qin Jingwen was out and about in a casual look today, wearing jeans and a white T-shirt with a sun protective jacket on top. Her hair was tied up and she wore a sun hat. The whole outfit screamed casual, a far cry from her professional attire yesterday.

However, Qin Jingwen's such calmness makes her seem more comfortable to look at.

Seeing Qiao Shunchen remain silent, only staring at her, Qin Jingwen knew her rhetorical question had worked.

She stepped closer to Qiao Shunchen's face and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"From now on, it's best not to doubt me."

Qin Jingwen smiled triumphantly, causing Qiao Shunchen to momentarily lose his train of thought.

"By the way, where are all the other kids"

Qin Jing spoke softly, returning to the main point and not dwelling on Qiao Shunchen's actions.

"Miss Qin, we have booked the entire place here so there are no other children."

Sun Xu answered Qin Jingwen.

"Private screening You're really a young master from a wealthy family."

Qin Jing's soft voice was clearly laced with sarcasm. She couldn't understand why a rich kid would need to be raised this way.

"Sun Assistant, please take them to play for a while."

Two children were taken aside to play by Sun Xu, and Qin Jingwen also entered multi-tasking mode.

Let's talk

Qin Jingwen spoke first.

"What are you talking about"

Jo Shunchen's black eyes were deep and profound, his cold brows furrowed.

"Xuanxuan."

"Xuan Xuan is still a child, but I feel he is too mature and thinks too much."

“Yesterday he told me that you’ve never picked him up from daycare, and his mommy has never picked him up either. I don’t understand how you can be so busy that you can’t take care of your child.”

Wherever and whenever Qin Jingwen is, she never runs out of things to say when talking about her children.

"This has nothing to do with your family background."

Joe Shunchen coldly retorted, his family affairs were not something others should interfere with. This woman he had just met a few days ago didn't have the right to know.iend is so thoughtful towards you." 。He found all of that. 。Of course, you didn't look to see who my girlfriend is. 。Chu Yang's smile couldn't contain itself. He hadn't dared to call Xue Yao his girlf...
