However, now Qi Chengyue had to consider a lot of issues for Cheng Dongge’s family.

“In that case, let us have dinner together after Cheng Dongge returned back. We’ll go to the shopping center after dinner and take a look around to see if there’s any suitable gifts. We can also ask for Cheng Dongge’s opinion too as he understands what his parents like the most,” Song Yu said.

“Really? Thank you so much!” Qi Chengyue said happily.

“Now you regarded me as an outsider,” Song Yu smiled.

Qi Chengzhi’s awkward condition now stabilized, then he removed the blanket, put on his shoes and said, “You can go shopping but don’t shop for too long, later you will be tired.”

“I know,” Song Yu said softly, then she gestured to Qi Chengzhi as she feared Qi Chengyue may misunderstood, thinking she would not want to help her at all.

“She is pregnant for three months now,” Qi Chengyue immediately explained without waiting Qi Chengyue’s further questioning.

Qi Chengyue’s jaw dropped and was in absolute shock.

After a while, she calmed down and said, “You guys are so good at hiding stuff! We chit-chat and had meals together for multiple times but not even a little bit of information disclosure? Back at the old mansion, not a single person noticed, even Grandmother Qi who had sharp eyes did not notice at all.”

“You can’t really notice anything at the third month of pregnancy and she didn’t become chubbier either,” Qi Chengzhi said calmly but his expression appeared as if he was showing off.

“True too and the older generation has a saying, something about do not announce when it is before three months of pregnancy,” Qi Chengyue nodded and did not think much about it.

Song Yu said, “Just now I forgot to discuss with you. We should find time and go to the hospital to check for the baby’s gender. The Qi family was mostly similar to the other big families and would expect the first grandchild to be a boy, so we should check the gender first then we will announce when we go back. Best not to leave the elders guessing with excitement. I was hoping for a girl but I feared that the elders may want a male grandchild and they may feel disappointed when the baby turned out to be a girl after all the excitement and expectation.”

“The Qi family loves all no matter male or female. Look at Chengyue, she was pampered the most in the family,” Qi Chengzhi gestured at Qi Chengyue.

Qi Chengyue blushed, feeling peevish.

However he agreed on Song Yu’s trepidation because Qi Chengyue was the second child.

If Song Yu’s first child was a female, then she may feel stressed.

The words he said was meant to calm Song Yu down.

Which was why he agreed for the baby’s gender checkup before telling the elders. It was for the best to not let the elders had emotional fluctuations.

To be honest, they would be a little disappointed if they found out the grandchild was a girl, but they would still love the granddaughter with all their heart.

However, he hoped for a boy, not because of the inheritance issue but he could not bear the thought of the daughter he loved forever would be married off to another guy.

“You also don’t inform any of the family members first,” Song Yu reminded Qi Chengyue.

“Relax, such important news should be announced only by you guys. I sealed my mouth shut so don’t need to worry that I may leaked it,” Qi Chengyue promised.

Song Yu smiled and took a look at the time, then she said, “I should go back to the office now, see you tonight.”

Qi Chengzhi fetched Song Yu back to the office and Qi Chengyue returned back to her office.

Song Yu dialled the old mansion’s phone number on their way back to her office. “Grandmother, it’s me, Song Yu.”

“...”

“No, let me tell you something but you gotta pretend that you don’t know anything after listening to what I will say,” Song Yu acted mysteriously and even lowered her voice. Her act made Qi Chengzhi laughed and he already knew what Song Yu planned to tell Grandmother Qi.

“What’s the matter? Why do we need to be so secretive?” Grandmother immediately became interested and sat up straight.

“It’s Chengyue, she is going to visit Cheng Dongge’s parents this weekend and this time, she is very serious and nervous at the same time about this. She came and asked me what’s a suitable gift to get for them for her first visit,” Song Yu told grandmother of Qi Chengyue’s trouble but of course she skipped the part regarding second marriage.

No matter how kind-hearted was Grandmother Qi, she was still Qi Chengyue’s grandmother and she would not allow anyone to dislike her precious granddaughter.

“Now that I think of it, I was empty-handed the first time I came to visit so I have no idea what’s a suitable gift to get, so I want to ask for your help. What do you think is the most suitable for the age group of Cheng Dongge’s parents? It should not be too expensive or else they’ll feel stressed and yet it can show sincerity as well,” Song Yu asked.

Grandmother Qi thought for a while and answered on the other side of the phone. Qi Chengzhi kept hearing ‘Yes’ from Song Yu and then she ended the call happily after thanking Grandmother Qi for her help and praised her. “Grandmother, your ideas and knowledge were different from normal people. I’ll do as you said and I think you will have a great-grandchild to play with soon.”

Qi Chengzhi knew Grandmother Qi would be thrilled after hearing what Song Yu said.

Song Yu hang up the phone. Qi Chengzhi took a glance at her and said, “Why do I think that you’re very skilled at coaxing grandmother?”

“What are you trying to say? You made me feel like I wasn’t being sincere?” Song Yu grinned.

Qi Chengzhi smiled too and grabbed her hand. “I married a woman who are adept at coaxing which saves me time and energy.”

“Are you satisfied after marrying me?” Song Yu asked after grabbing his free hand which was not holding the steering wheel and rested her head on his shoulder.

Qi Chengzhi gazed softly at her and his face handsome as usual.

“I am very satisfied,” Qi Chengzhi kissed her when he stopped his car before the traffic light

...

...

Qi Chengzhi, Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue went to Chengshi after their work in the evening. The three of them drove two cars and they parked their cars on the road opposite of Chengshi.

Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue get down from the Touareg and greeted Song Yu after she crossed the road, then Song Yu went in the car.

They did not have their dinner at Dynasty as the mall would have been closed when they were stuck in a terrible traffic jam from Dynasty to the mall after dinner, so they chose a restaurant with good reviews in the mall to have their dinner.

The four of them went to a Yunnan restaurant in the mall. Song Yu was pregnant and she could not eat spicy food due to taboo reason, so they only ordered two spicy dishes which was Qi Chengyue’s favourite. The rest of the food had a gentle flavoring.

Meanwhile Song Yu asked Cheng Dongge about his parents’ preferences and also their responses and attitudes towards the two of them.

“I asked my dad alone and he wasn’t in denial regarding this issue. He is quite open-minded, but the problem is my mom. However, I felt that she just couldn’t get over the issues for the time being. I had already persuaded my mom and she seemed to have understood half of it. Chengyue and I need to put more effort and give her some confidence to get over the other half,” Cheng Dongge said while pouring a glass of rice wine to Qi Chengyue.

...

...

The four of them went to shop at every level of the mall after their dinner, attempting to find a suitable outfit for Shun Shaoyun.

It was crowded at the moment in the mall. Qi Chengzhi wrapped his arm around Song Yu’s shoulder and shielded her carefully, avoiding every possible knocks and bumps she may encounter.

Cheng Dongge held Qi Chengyue’s hand and paid attention to the crowds. He would pull Qi Chengyue closer to him whenever they came near to a crowd.

They were walking steadily initially, then they slowed down and finally stood still.

Gao Jingqiu was shopping with a woman at a women’s fashion outlet. The woman had a typical appearance of a young model, with a heart-shaped face, big dewy eyes, a high nose bridge, pinkish sensual lips, fair skin and long hair reaching the waist.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was another woman standing in front of them, whom Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue knew. She was Huang Ziyue.

“Gao Jingqiu, recently you had been inattentive towards me because you found a new love, right? Now you’re showing off your mistress at my presence despite the fact that I am still your girlfriend. Shouldn’t you at least keep this away from me?” Huang Ziyue did not want to act without dignity in public but she could not contain her anger.

To be honest, Huang Ziyue tried to go back to Cheng Dongge some moments ago because she felt insecurity as Gao Jingqiu had been acting perfunctory towards her and did not spend much time for her.

Whenever Huang Ziyue called Gao Jingqiu or sent a WeChat message, he would just replied ‘Yes’ or ‘Oh’ without paying much attention, then he would ignore her afterwards saying that he was tired and wanted to go to bed.

There were a few occasions where Gao Jingqiu would come and find Huang Ziyue for meals and fornication afterwards but she felt that he was just being bored of others and merely wanted to find her for a change.

Huang Ziyue felt that she was the actual mistress and not an official girlfriend like what Gao Jingqiu initially promised.

Huang Ziyue was not the type of person who would resign to fate, just like she took the initiative to start a relationship with Cheng Dongge since high school. Their relationship ended after three years when she understood his personality and she felt that her investment in relationship had paid off. At least she knew how she felt when being together with Cheng Dongge and that was more than enough.

However Huang Ziyue was dissatisfied with Cheng Dongge’s identity and financial status. One day when she was at the bar with her friends, she met Gao Jingqiu. She became indecisive when Gao Jingqiu courted her and finally decided to start a relationship with him.

Huang Ziyue soon realized that Gao Jingqiu was not being serious in the relationship. He was not the one who she could took control, then she started reliving the memories with Cheng Dongge and his dependability. She overheard from Gao Jingqiu’s chauffeur regarding Cheng Dongge’s actual ability and power and she started to feel regret to have realized Cheng Dongge was actually much better in every aspect than Gao Jingqiu.

Just after when Huang Ziyue realized that she would not be able to get anything from Gao Jingqiu, she started to go back to Cheng Dongge, attempting to restart the relationship.

However, she did not expect that Cheng Dongge was already in a relationship with Qi Chengyue.

Nothing was more expensive than a missed opportunity. Not every mistakes could be forgiven and not every regret could be offset.

Huang Ziyue was repentant and unable to resign to the fact that she did not get anything in the end from either side.

Huang Ziyue came to the mall today to shop and relieve her tension, and she had Gao Jingqiu’s supplementary credit card to spend as she knew her time with Gao Jingqiu was coming to an end, so she wanted to buy as much as she could using his card.

However, she did not expect to see a much younger woman in her twenties wrapping her arms around Gao Jingqiu’s arm when she went into the women’s fashion outlet, and both of them were acting fondly as if they were alone in the outlet.

Huang Ziyue could not contain her wrath and grief and she could not choose to ignore them, so she rushed in and came down on them like a ton of bricks. This was the scene where the group of Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu witnessed.

“Where was the mistress when I had nothing to do with you?” Gao Jingqiu gave Huang Ziyue a disgusted look, lacking the well-mannerism and compassion he initially had when he courted her.

“No relationship? You came last night and now you claimed we had no relationship anymore? Gao Jingqiu, be a man for once and announce officially that we broke up. You had been keeping a distance from me, then you came looking for me when you missed me, now you’re shopping with another woman and said we had no relationship anymore?” Huang Ziyue felt despair and smiled coldly.

“You should part without any hard feelings. You’re just embarrassing yourself with your constant entanglement. Don’t think I didn’t realize that you’re just taking an interest in my financial status, that’s why you started a relationship with me. Now you’re shopping and paying for the goods using the supplementary card I gave you. You knew that I was keeping a distance with you and had a new crush but you’re still using my supplementary card nonetheless, because you knew our relationship will end soon and you wanted to use this opportunity to get more from me before we part, am I right?” Gao Jingqiu smirked and wrapped his arms around the young model’s waist.

Gao Jingqiu took out his cellphone from his pocket and took a glance at the text message notification. Those notifications were records of Huang Ziyue payment with his supplementary card today.

“Still want to make yourself the official girlfriend when you’re actually a b*tch,” Gao Jingqiu mocked. He put the cellphone back into his pocket and pulled the young model closer to him. “At least she was more honest than you. She didn’t cover the fact that she was aiming for my financial status when we were together and didn’t think of marriage at all. We just get what we need from each other, unlike you. Do you think I will really marry you? Are you aware of your own shortcomings and limitations? A commoner like you having a fantasy about marrying off into a big family? Cheng Dongge was being kind when he didn’t break up with you first. To him, you’re social climbing, so do you think you can social climb on me?”

“You-” Huang Ziyue went pale as she did not expect that his words would be so harsh. He commented on her like she was worthless in front of the crowd.

Huang Ziyue felt tinnitus and there was a shade of darkness covering her eyes. She did not dare to meet the crowd’s gaze and wanted to hide as far as possible.

Gao Jingqiu took his cellphone out again and dialled for the bank in front of Huang Ziyue for the termination of supplementary card that was in her hand.

Huang Ziyue heard his statement and felt humiliated.

Gao Jingqiu hang up the phone and gave a disdainful look on the goods on her hands. “Consider these my payment for last night’s fornication. Since we reached a consensus, from now on we are not related in any way. You were once my woman so I’ll ask Xiao Zhang to go and fetch you. Pack your belongings and leave the keys to the house to Xiao Zhang. If you have no place to go then you are welcomed to stay for one more night only.”

“No need,” Huang Ziyue caught on to the minimal amount of proudness she had left and rejected coldly.

Gao Jingqiu mocked her trivial proudness and left with the young model.

Huang Ziyue lowered her head in embarrassment, and she saw Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue on her way out. Now she appeared as if all the blood had drained from her face.

Did they witness everything that had happened just now?

Did they overhear everything Gao Jingqiu said?

Huang Ziyue quickly lowered her head and rushed away, avoiding direct eye contact with Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue.

Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue were just staring at Huang Ziyue unconsciously, then they saw her rushing away, ignoring the people in her escape path and nearly rammed into the unfortunate soul.

Qi Chengyue was about to remind her but it was too late, Huang Ziyue collided and all of her goods in her hands dropped, scattering around the floor.

“I’m sorry... I’m sorry...” Huang Ziyue said softly, praying hard that Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue would not come and offer her help.

Huang Ziyue was already so embarrassed, if the two of them came and showed her sympathy, she would have no idea how to face them.

She was truly regretful now, she regretted breaking up with Cheng Dongge. Otherwise, they may have already registered for marriage now and would probably be preparing their marriage.
