Chapter 1996: Text Message

Ding Junqi turned around and saw Le Tian’s expression change again. This was already the umpteenth time she acted like this today.

Ding Yuejia cheered up when he had his food. He did not notice that something was wrong with his mother. He continued to wage war with his fries.

Ding Junqi did not ask any more questions. Instead, he set the remote control down. The television was broadcasting the news about how the sale of several properties was put on hold because the materials used were not up to the expected quality.

Two of the companies were from the Sun family and the Li family. However, Ding Junqi knew that Mo Fei had already dealt with those two.

Le Tian tied her hair up with a rubber band and went to her room to change into a loose s.h.i.+rt.

Ding Junqi sat on the sofa and pulled his son to his side. “What happened to your mother today?”

Ding Yuejia blinked his large eyes at his father. His look said nothing but, ‘How am I supposed to know something that you don’t know either?’

Ding Junqi recalled what happened today. He did not offend her while he was on set today, and he stopped her from showing up in front of the reporters and media that went for a site visit. He did nothing to offend her, right?

“Daddy, when are you bringing me to the amus.e.m.e.nt park with Mommy?” Ding Yuejia asked as he ate.

The amus.e.m.e.nt park?

Should he reserve the entire place?

It was not that he could not afford it, but reserving the amus.e.m.e.nt park all to themselves was not what the little fellow wanted.

Yet, bringing them there himself?

This would be too unrealistic. After all, many people were watching him. Even if he was fully armed, he would be discovered eventually.

Ding Junqi patted his son’s head and said, “When Daddy is done with this movie, I’ll bring you and Mommy.”

“Oh, well. Forget it. I’ll wait for Mommy to bring me there.” Ding Yuejia sighed softly. He probably guessed that his father would never bring him there.

Ding Junqi felt a little guilty when he saw the look on his son’s face. However, his current status dictated the many things that he could not do with his son.

Le Tian came out after changing and brought her change of clothes to the bathroom.

Ding Junqi turned around to look at Le Tian, who had gone to wash her clothes. He then looked around. There were fresh flowers on the table in the living room. Le Tian ordered them herself. There would be a bouquet of flowers every week, which guaranteed freshness weekly.

The dark curtains had been replaced with light-colored ones. Even the kitchen was filled with more pots and pans.

Yes, it finally felt like home.

However, it seemed like the interaction between him and Le Tian hinged on co-existing for the sake of their son.

It was as if, other than their son, there were no relations between them. This was the situation that Le Tian wished to have.

Admittedly, Ding Junqi did not like it. In fact, he hated this. Being in this state would drive people crazy.

Le Tian should not just be the mother of his child.

Ding Yuejia finished a box of fries and ran to the bathroom to see Le Tian with a chicken wing. He did not like accompanying his father. It could get quite boring.

Getting thoroughly despised by his own son, Ding Junqi wanted to get up. Just as he was about to get up, Le Tian’s phone on the table vibrated. Ding Junqi looked at her phone before turning to look at the bathroom. He could still hear the mother and son causing a ruckus inside.

He was just handing her phone back to her. It would not count as him reading her messages, right?

As Ding Junqi thought about that, he reached out to pick up her phone.

Despite planning to simply hand her phone over, he lost his cool when he saw the message that popped up on her phone screen.

In stark contrast to his previous expression, his face was currently enshrouded in the darkness of an impending storm.
