Chapter 119: Mom Has No Money, and Dad Won’t Give Any Either

The original female supporting character used this very method to forcibly tie Ling Hanyu down—now she’s doing it again?

So what’s the difference between her and the original female supporting character?

“Shall we go to kindergarten or to the office?”

What on earth does Yang Yifan keep reminding Song Qingtian to do?

Song Qingtian thought of Ling Nuonuo and felt terribly sorry for having to explain things to her daughter as well.

“Let’s go to kindergarten.”

This time happens to be just right for picking up her daughter.

At the kindergarten gate

Aunt Chen was waiting for Ling Nuonuo to get out of school. When she saw Song Qingtian approaching, she said, “Young Madam.”

Song Qingtian’s gaze toward Aunt Chen was rather complicated.

“Aunt Chen, have you known all along that I wasn’t pregnant?”

There wasn’t much around—most parents were standing quite a distance away—so Song Qingtian didn’t hold back.

Aunt Chen was taken aback and glanced at Secretary Yang, who was standing nearby.

“Yes.”

Aunt Chen assumed that Ling Hanyu had found out about Song Qingtian’s fake pregnancy and was upset about it, which is why he hadn’t accompanied Song Qingtian to pick up Ling Nuonuo but had instead sent Secretary Yang.

If that was the case, then everyone knew that Song Qingtian’s pregnancy was a sham.

Song Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief: “Just as I thought!”

She didn’t say much more. She glanced at the kindergarten gate—no teachers had brought the children out yet.

“Aunt Chen, you can head back now. I’ll wait for Nuonuo and tell her about this while I’m at it.”

Song Qingtian’s mood was very mixed. She knew that if she told Ling Hanyu about the fake pregnancy, he might not be happy.

But for her, the biggest burden was Ling Nuonuo.

Originally, Ling Nuonuo hadn’t had any expectations; it was she who had given Ling Nuonuo hope.

Now that those hopes were about to shatter, it was all her fault.

Even though she felt she was pretty innocent too.

But innocence is just being overly sentimental.

Aunt Chen left first, and Song Qingtian waited until Ling Nuonuo came out of the kindergarten.

Ling Nuonuo was very happy—the other kids all liked her a lot.

After waving goodbye to her little friends, Ling Nuonuo suddenly spotted her mom waiting for her.

“Mommy…”

As soon as she saw Song Qingtian, Ling Nuonuo hurriedly called out to her.

Song Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to pick Ling Nuonuo up from the teacher.

First she kissed her daughter, then she turned to the teacher to say hello before carrying Ling Nuonuo away.

Ling Nuonuo suddenly remembered something and quickly tried to climb down: “Mommy has a baby, so Nuonuo can’t let Mommy hold her!”

“Nuonuo, there’s something Mommy wants to tell you.”

“Oh?”

Ling Nuonuo looked at Song Qingtian with innocent eyes, her little hands wrapped around Song Qingtian’s neck: “Is Daddy mad again?”

Ling Nuonuo got worried as soon as she thought of Daddy.

Daddy often treats Mommy badly—poor Mommy!

“No, not exactly, but…”

Song Qingtian had already gotten into the car and settled in before explaining to Ling Nuonuo that she wasn’t pregnant.

“Mommy, there’s no baby in your tummy?”

Ling Nuonuo was a bit disappointed, but she wasn’t entirely unhappy—especially seeing how self-reproaching Song Qingtian looked.

“Mommy…”

“Nuonuo, Mommy’s actually pretty silly. Earlier, Mommy just…”

It always felt inappropriate to talk about menstruation with such a young child.

Song Qingtian came up with a compromise: “It’s just that Mommy had a special ‘warning period’ that indicated she couldn’t possibly be pregnant, but Mommy ignored it. On top of that, the doctor firmly told Mommy she was pregnant, and Mommy, being careless for a moment, actually believed it.”

“Mommy… then will you have another baby someday?”

Ling Nuonuo had heard from the other kids at kindergarten that little brothers and sisters could be really mischievous. In fact, she wasn’t all that eager to have one right away—she was afraid they’d make Mommy very tired.

Some kids even said that once a little brother or sister arrived, Daddy and Mommy would love them even more.

“That’s hard to say, and besides, Mommy doesn’t want to have another baby so soon.”

“Why?”

Ling Nuonuo couldn’t understand, her big, beautiful eyes wide open.

Song Qingtian couldn’t help but kiss her daughter—she was just too adorable!

“Nuonuo, you’re so cute!”

Ling Nuonuo blushed and lowered her head, playing with her hands: “Mommy, let’s talk about babies!”

“Mommy just can’t help herself! Nuonuo is just too cute!”

“Oh!”

Ling Nuonuo felt so good inside.

Leaning against Song Qingtian’s chest, she tilted her little face up to look at Song Qingtian, waiting for her to talk about babies.

Song Qingtian explained: “Right now, Mommy’s life is really tough—there’s no source of income, and it’s already hard enough to take care of myself, let alone a baby. Mommy mainly needs to take care of you and save up a little money to raise you. You know… do you want to go to school? Do you want to live? Mommy wants to… also make some sacrifices—not just Daddy has to give everything.”

“Oh!”

Ling Nuonuo seemed to understand, yet also didn’t fully grasp it: Mommy has no money, Daddy won’t give her any, and her maternal grandparents aren’t around either—so she’s really pitiful!

Raising her, making money, and having a baby—all of these require money, yet having another baby only adds to the burden!
