Meeting Again

Traveling alone with a child was exhausting, so Xu Han gritted her teeth and bought a plane ticket.

Half a year later, as she set foot once more on this land where she had only stayed for a little over a month, Xu Han felt nothing at all.

Tang Yueyue came to pick her up at the airport. She had bought herself a car and driven over.

"Damn, Qiao Wanqing, didn't you go back to farm? Why haven't you gotten any darker at all? Ahhh!" Seeing that her skin was still fair, Tang Yueyue instantly felt unbalanced. "Why do I feel like even fluorescent lights can tan me?"

Xu Han usually took a few basic sun-protection measures. On top of that, the winter sun was not particularly harsh, so she really had not gotten tanned. Instead, after returning home to rest and recuperate, and living in a rural place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, her skin had become even smoother and more delicate.

Since she was going out today, she had put on a little light makeup. She immediately looked bright and fresh, full of fashion sense, not at all like a village woman from the countryside.

Ahem.

Xu Han consoled her against her conscience. "Actually, I don't really work in the fields. I just stay home and take care of the baby."

"Stop fooling me. I was just saying. Hey, hey, Koukou's awake! He's so cute. Can I hold him?"

Tang Yueyue's eyes lit up when she saw Koukou slowly waking up in Xu Han's arms. Koukou was soft and round, especially adorable. His little eyes were drooping as if he was still half asleep, utterly melting Tang Yueyue's girlish heart.

Xu Han's arms were already sore from holding him. "Of course. His godmother should give him a good cuddle. Don't complain that your arms hurt later."

Tang Yueyue happily took Koukou from her. Although Koukou was attached to his mother, he was not picky about who held him.

Once Tang Yueyue held him, he blinked his big watery eyes and stared at her without looking away. Tang Yueyue teased him, and Koukou was a child who loved interacting with people. A little teasing drove away his drowsiness, and he began waving his arms and legs excitedly.

Tang Yueyue had rarely held a child before and did not have much strength in her arms. When Koukou moved like that, she failed to hold him steady. His head bumped toward her face, and Tang Yueyue, caught off guard, planted her bright red lips squarely on Koukou's forehead, leaving behind a perfect M-shaped lip print.

Tang Yueyue: "..."

Xu Han: "..."

Looking at the huge lip print on her son's forehead, Xu Han did not know whether to laugh or cry as she searched for a tissue to wipe it off. "You weird auntie, stop taking advantage of my son, okay? He's still just a child!"

"It wasn't me! I didn't do anything! Obviously, your son molested me! Koukou must be

secretly in love with

me, right, Koukou?" Tang Yueyue waggled her brows at Koukou, and he immediately burst into giggles.

The three of them laughed and played as they got into Tang Yueyue's car. Since the airport was close to the house Qiao Wanqing had previously rented, they went there first.

The landlady knew she was coming. Because Gu Yanqing had asked her to keep an eye out, she eagerly called his assistant, Wang Xiao, and told him that Qiao Wanqing had returned. Wang Xiao happened to be with Gu Yanqing at the time, so Gu Yanqing learned of it as well...

By sheer coincidence, Gu Yanqing had just sent his cousin's son back to X City and was currently in the city himself. After thinking it over, he had Wang Xiao cancel today's schedule and drove to Qiao Wanqing's home.

His three-year-old cousin's son was clingy and insisted on coming along. Gu Yanqing did not think it was a big deal, so he brought him with him.

Author's note:

Going into the city was a small turning point for the female lead. I'll definitely arrange for her to become rich!

Meeting Again

Qiao Wanqing did not have many belongings. Since she wanted to climb the social ladder, she had to make herself look "high-end," which meant buying outrageously expensive designer bags, clothes, cosmetics, and so on.

Her income was only so much. Even if a fairy drank dew every day, she still could not afford much.

Koukou had already fallen asleep. Xu Han laid him down on the bed in the room, and the two of them worked together to pack up the things she still wanted. They could just have the courier come collect them later.

She gave Tang Yueyue the things Tang Yueyue wanted. Xu Han planned to see whether she could sell the things Tang Yueyue did not want, while the rest would simply be thrown out as trash.

Xu Han had taken some of her belongings with her when she left, and the two women were quick with their hands, so they finished in no time. Xu Han called the landlady and asked her to come over so she could move out.

Koukou woke up then as well. Xu Han picked him up and changed his diaper. Seeing how practiced her movements were, Tang Yueyue felt a little sentimental.

"I really never thought you'd go back to your hometown to make a living. I thought you would keep going at it with Gu Yanqing here until the end of time."

Xu Han gave the same old excuse she used to brush people off. "My mindset changed a lot after I got pregnant."

"What are you planning to do in the future? A woman raising a child by herself, you know..."

Of course Xu Han knew that raising a child alone was not easy, but for now, she had no better solution. "I'll take it one step at a time."

"Have you ever thought about letting Gu Yanqing... acknowledge the child? You're still so young."

Qiao Wanqing had not even turned twenty-five yet. She truly was still very young. Carrying around a child, probably no one in the world could understand her way of thinking.

"Or..." Tang Yueyue hesitated slightly. "You still haven't gotten over him?"

"How could that be? I gave up on him ages ago."

Xu Han finished putting Koukou's diaper on, but Koukou was unwilling to cooperate when it came to his pants. His little feet kept kicking. Xu Han reached out and patted his little butt, then rubbed his little belly. Koukou thought Xu Han was playing with him and giggled happily, revealing the two tiny baby teeth that had just emerged.

Whenever he smiled, his arms and legs went limp. Xu Han swiftly put his pants on. Seeing that Tang Yueyue still looked like she wanted to say something, Xu Han truly did not want to continue this topic.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Han said, "I brought some homemade dried fruits and vegetables in my bag. Try them and see if they taste good."

Tang Yueyue's attention was indeed diverted. She rummaged through Xu Han's backpack and found the dried vegetables she had made, sealed in plastic jars. Seeing nothing but green vegetables, no meat, and no spice, Tang Yueyue thought they looked completely flavorless.
