Chapter 35: The One Who Is Close To The Water Gets The Moon First, So Don’t Move
-New residence?
Li Chunqiu couldn’t bear it when she heard those three words.
How could she possibly move out with her child?
If she moved, wouldn’t that distance her from Lin Xuan?
As the saying goes: Near water, first get the moon!
If she moved out, with her daughter, in this era, without Lin Xuan, the officer, to protect them, how would their mother and daughter survive?
Her meager salary wouldn’t be enough for the child’s expenses; she might not even be able to afford kindergarten tuition.
This Yingying, too, was so useless, not even a boy!
If she had been born a boy,
at least she could enjoy some comfort. Even if not comfort, at least she wouldn’t be in this situation.
Li Chunqiu’s eyes darted around, but her hand didn’t reach for the keys Lin Xuan placed on the table.
Li Chunqiu only had one thought: Don’t move, absolutely don’t move.
She wanted to see what that woman wanted to do. If that woman came, she would do everything to drive her away!
In short, she had to cling to Lin Xuan, this big tree.
Li Chunqiu forced a smile. “Lin Xuan, it’s dark now. If we move, it’ll have to be in a couple of days. I need to pack things properly. By the way, where’s Yingying? You said you’d take me to see her, where is she?”
Sure enough, after agreeing, Li Chunqiu quickly changed the subject.
Lin Xuan’s face was grim. “That child needs a good lesson.”
Seeing an opportunity, Li Chunqiu immediately put on her usual gentle and virtuous face towards Lin Xuan.
Li Chunqiu went over, picked up Lin Xuan’s slippers, and placed them by his feet. Then, she went to the bathroom, filled a basin with water, and got a towel.
Li Chunqiu came back with the basin of water and towel, seeing that Lin Xuan had already changed his slippers.
She was very relieved.
“Here, wash your face and hands.”
At this moment, as long as she calmed Lin Xuan down, she wasn’t in such a hurry to find her daughter.
Lin Xuan indeed reached out, washed, and then wiped his face with the towel.
Li Chunqiu took away the basin and poured out the water. She neatly folded the towel Lin Xuan had used.
Li Chunqiu looked in the mirror, adjusting her hair to look more alluring.
Li Chunqiu twisted her waist in the mirror, then forced a smile.
She walked out, saying to Lin Xuan, “Come, let’s eat!” Li Chunqiu handed the chopsticks to the man already seated at the dining table.
Lin Xuan naturally took the chopsticks from Li Chunqiu’s hand.
Seeing him accept her kindness, she gradually pressed her advantage, saying, “I’ve been so busy at the health team lately.
Lin Xuan, you know, because I’m a temporary worker, I have more work. If you could talk to the head nurse, or get me a permanent position, even a contract as a care worker would be fine?”
Lin Xuan ate in silence.
Seeing his displeasure, Li Chunqiu knew that continuing would be fruitless and might irritate him.
So, Li Chunqiu changed the subject: “Tell me, what’s wrong with Yingying? I’ll definitely discipline her properly.”
– [Snap]
Lin Xuan slammed down his chopsticks!
His voice rose: “What’s wrong with her? Don’t you, her mother, know?”
