Yan Ge was alarmed by her sudden outburst of foul words. When he could finally react, he frowned and asked, “You say you’re a 36C, but why does it look like a 32A to me?”

Fang Erlan was infuriated. She obviously was not so dumb as to let him feel it, so she just grunted, “Yes, yes, yes. If I look like a 32A to you, so be it. I hope you get what you wish for and find a wife with a 40 cup in the future. I’m going to sleep now!”

In the past, if she said that, he would turn to leave. But now, he merely stood there, remaining as still as a statue.

All of a sudden, Fang Erlan’s phone rang. It was a call from Mei Yangyang.

“h.e.l.lo, Sis.”

“I’ve already sent my men to follow around Jing Yang twenty-four hours a day. When they manage to capture him and his cash cow together, we’ll release photos of it. So, for these few days, don’t look at those online criticisms lest they affect your mood for filming. Just wait for his scandal to be released.”

Fang Erlan responded, “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”

Mei Yangyang gave her further instructions before ending the call.

She walked over to the bed and sat down with her head kept low. Though she was acting like a grumpy kitten just earlier, she had quietened down significantly now.

“The snacks that my mother made previously, were they good?”

Fang Erlan looked up at him and nodded. “They were good. Auntie has great culinary skills.”

When his eyes lit up and he stared at her intensely, Fang Erlan felt gooseb.u.mps all over. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Nothing much.” He turned and headed toward the door.

Fang Erlan hurriedly went to check if the door was closed properly. After she was done checking, she then lay on the bed. While Mei Yangyang had obviously told her not to check the online comments, she still couldn’t help but do so.

After checking, she was inevitably filled with utter dejection. As expected, because she had yet to experience the hards.h.i.+ps of the entertainment industry, she was not tough enough to cope with such stress.

She couldn’t help but feel aggrieved, and she lay on the bed with her eyes kept wide open for a long time.

Ring!!!! With the shriek of the alarm at five in the morning, the children in the dormitory hurriedly woke up. Even Long Xiaoxi, who usually moved at a slow pace, managed to scramble toward the track within ten minutes.

Looking at the handful of children, Chen Xu instructed clearly, “Today, all of you will run ten rounds around the track. Whoever can’t finish will only get to eat bread for breakfast, no other food will be given. Start now.”

Every single time, their coach would use this method on them. To Long Xiaoxi, eating was a big deal.

That was why she completed the running every morning.

To her, every morning was like a nightmare.

As she ran, s.h.i.+ Bao’er sneered, “You haven’t slimmed down a bit from running every day. I guess you’re destined to be a fatso your whole life.”

Long Xiaoxi retorted in her puerile voice, “A fat person can diet and slim down. But if you have low intelligence, it can’t be helped.”

s.h.i.+ Bao’er put on an unbothered att.i.tude. Having been in the exercise boot camp for so long, she reminisced on the past and yearned to go home.

While everyone was gasping for breath after they had finished running ten rounds, she couldn’t help but go find the coach. “I want to go home once.”

Chen Xu asked, “Your parents didn’t come to fetch you, what do you want to return home for?”

“I miss my Daddy.”

“Didn’t your father just come by a while ago?”

s.h.i.+ Bao’er stuttered, “Coach, I want to go home for one day. Can you please agree to it? Just one day, I’ll be back tomorrow.”

Seeing how keen she was on going home, Chen Xu could only agree to it. “Then, shall I call your father to ask him to pick you up?”

After some thought, she replied, “Call my Mommy instead.”

“Okay.”

About half an hour later, Jin Qingyue came to fetch her. As she was still in the early stages of her pregnancy, her stomach wasn’t very obvious yet. In addition, she paid extra attention to her diet as she did not want to gain as much weight as she did when she was pregnant with Bao’er. As a result, her figure did not appear much different.

“Why did you ask me to come and fetch you? Don’t you love your Daddy the most?”

s.h.i.+ Bao’er bit her lip. “But, you’re my Mommy too.”Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com

Jin Qingyue started driving and asked, “Where do you want to go to play?”

“I don’t want to go anywhere, send me to Daddy’s place.”

Jin Qingyue had originally wanted to bring her out to eat something good and have fun, but hearing her words, she did not say anything further.

When they arrived at s.h.i.+ Shaochuan’s front gate, she remarked, “I’ll give your father a call.”

“No need, why call when we’re already at the front gate? I’m going in.”

She got down from the car and ran toward the direction of the front door. After seeing her enter, Jin Qingyue then drove off in her car.

It was half past seven in the morning, and s.h.i.+ Bao’er had yet to eat her breakfast. In addition, she had run ten rounds and was tired and hungry at the same time. All she wanted was to lean against her father’s arms as she ate breakfast.

The reason she got her mother to fetch her was so she could give her Daddy a surprise.

Little did she expect that not only would she be unable to surprise her father, her father would give her a complete shock instead.

When she pushed open his bedroom door, the joy that had been filling her heart instantly turned into feelings of alarm and fury.

Looking at the woman resting in her father’s arms, s.h.i.+ Bao’er was beyond infuriated.

As she had opened the door very softly when she entered, the two who were on the bed remained in a deep slumber and were unaware that she had come.

Only when s.h.i.+ Bao’er splashed a pail of water on their faces did the two of them wake up in shock and sat bolt upright in bed.

As he glanced at the one who started it, s.h.i.+ Shaochuan’s tone turned cold. “Bao’er, what are you doing? How come you’re back?!”

Facing her father’s question, s.h.i.+ Bao’er’s enthusiasm turned into dejection and she responded in a low voice, “Mommy fetched me back.”

Hearing this, the first thing that came to s.h.i.+ Shaochuan’s mind was that Jin Qingyue was trying to mess things up for him and intentionally sent her back here.

“Are you still going to attend the academy?”

“I’m going tomorrow.” She turned to the woman on the bed. With tears welling up in her eyes, she exclaimed in a raised voice, “Who is she?! Why does she look so much like Yiheng’s mother?”

“She’s my girlfriend. Call her Auntie.”

s.h.i.+ Bao’er bit her lip tightly and refused adamantly, “I won’t!”

s.h.i.+ Shaochuan knew her daughter’s temper well and did not force it either. “Go out first. We’re getting up now.”

She turned and went out the door.

Bu Xianxian muttered under her breath, “You better console her properly later. I’m afraid she won’t accept me so easily.”

“Her mother even got remarried, why wouldn’t she accept this?” s.h.i.+ Shaochuan hurriedly said. “Let’s get up.”

After the two of them got up, s.h.i.+ Shaochuan went out the door and saw her daughter standing by the doorway in tears. He took her hand and brought her downstairs, saying to her on the sofa as he hugged her. “Look at your mother, she’s gotten married to somebody else already. Daddy can’t possibly stay alone forever, right? Moreover, our family line needs to continue. If your Mommy had agreed to marry me again back then, I wouldn’t have had to find another partner.”

What he truly meant was that everything was her Mommy’s fault and he only acted that way because he’d been left with no choice.

s.h.i.+ Bao’er choked in between tears, “I don’t want to, I don’t want you to find another woman. Chase her away!”

s.h.i.+ Shaochuan could only reply patiently, “Your Mommy can get remarried, but I can’t? Bao’er, do you really want to see Daddy have no one to talk to every day?”

“I can keep Daddy company.”

“But you’ll eventually grow up.”

“I don’t care, I don’t care…!” she screeched as she cried harder, making it a heart-wrenching scene to watch.

“Knock it off, you’re such a big girl already. Why are you still so immature?” s.h.i.+ Shaochuan was already annoyed at her sudden return; this in addition to her resistant att.i.tude suddenly made him feel that him gaining the custody of her daughter had actually put Jin Qingyue in an advantageous position.
