Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1559: Chapter 1560: I’m Not Confident

Qi Taiguo was dumbfounded after hearing Cheng Su’s words, looking as if he’d been struck by lightning.

"Xiao Qi really cried as soon as she went near her?" Qi Taiguo asked with a frown.

Cheng Su nodded, seeing his face didn’t look good, she said, "Maybe the child smells the ointment on Mom’s leg and doesn’t want her to hold him?"

This explanation was much better than the child seeing something dirty on Mother Qi, because that would be too absurd and creepy to hear.

Qi Taiguo was a soldier, full of vitality and fierceness, but even he couldn’t help picturing some terrifying thing following his mom, hence why the child cried at the sight!

However, after a moment, he brushed off that thought; it wasn’t scientific!

"I also think that’s probably the case." Qi Taiguo laughed awkwardly, though the laughter seemed forced.

After seeing off the guests, Old Master Cheng was tired after a busy day, so Cheng Su took him back to the guest room at the guesthouse to rest, while her family stayed home drinking tea and chatting.

"Today is the twelfth, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. Since both families are here, why not celebrate in Qing City before going back? It would be lively." Qi Taiguo suggested.

"That’s good, there are only Cheng Zhi and me at home, we are few anyway." Father Cheng was the first to respond, thinking that without his wife at home taking care of their daughter and grandson, the holiday atmosphere felt diminished.

Father Qi also wanted to spend a few more days with his grandson. Although the child was still young and couldn’t speak yet, just watching him made him feel content and delighted; after all, he was his first grandson.

"What do you think?" he asked Mother Qi.

Mother Qi glanced at the child in Qi Fengping’s arms from a distance and said, "Let’s go back after the holiday then."

Qi Taiguo laughed, "Then I’ll arrange accommodations for a couple more days."

Father Qi didn’t forget to ask: "Would it be too much trouble? If it’s troublesome, we can leave tomorrow!"

"Dad, it’s no trouble. It’s just lodging. Our place is small, so we need to bother you with staying at the guesthouse." Cheng Su said, "As for food, if we’re not eating at home, we can go to the restaurant; it’s no hassle."

"It’s fine to eat at home; restaurants are expensive." Father Qi quickly said.

"It’s our own restaurant, what’s expensive about it?" Mother Qi muttered.

"Even if it’s ours, we have to pay, otherwise the accounts won’t balance!" Father Qi glared at her.

Cheng Su agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Dad is right. Although the restaurant is mine, there are other shareholders. When we dine there ourselves, we still need to keep track of expenses. If I sign for it personally, it comes out of my salary."

Mother Qi was stunned, "Even our own place needs money." She hadn’t thought of that, meaning they spent a lot on today’s full moon banquet?

The family laughed and talked, the time passed swiftly. After sending everyone to rest at the guesthouse, Cheng Su took her child to bed early too.

Meanwhile, at the guesthouse, Mother Qi nudged the old man while talking: "Tomorrow, take me to the temple to offer incense, or I won’t feel at ease."

Father Qi was taken aback, "Offering incense for what?" He then recalled the day’s events and understood, saying, "Don’t overthink it. Xiao Qi was just scared because your leg was bandaged."

Mother Qi said, "Can you believe that? At night, I let down my pants and you see what happens, I didn’t even stretch out my hand, and he cried."

As she spoke, her grievance welled up, and her eyes reddened.
