Chapter 120: Not Having a Baby for Him

“Mommy, then when you have money in the future, will you have a baby?”

Ling Nuonuo hugged Song Qingtian.

Song Qingtian thought for a moment. Given her current situation, she hadn’t yet considered having children.

She also told Ling Nuonuo, “If, in the future, Mommy has money and you want a little brother or sister, and Mommy happens to meet someone who truly loves her, then Mommy would be willing!”

“Mommy, what’s a ‘truly loving person’?”

Ling Nuonuo didn’t understand.

After all, she was just a child.

Song Qingtian explained carefully, “It means someone who not only likes Mommy, but also really loves Mommy!”

“Then does Daddy not like Mommy?”

Ling Nuonuo suddenly realized this—since Daddy didn’t like Mommy, Mommy wasn’t willing to have a baby for him either.

Although Song Qingtian didn’t want to admit it, she still explained patiently, “Originally, Mommy liked Daddy, but it was one-sided. By ‘one-sided,’ I mean that I liked Daddy all by myself, while Daddy, because of the kindness his maternal grandparents had shown him, reluctantly accepted my feelings. Reluctantly means unwillingly, out of helplessness… And besides… Mommy used to like Daddy so much that she would stop at nothing, without any scruples… To win Daddy over, Mommy even forced him to have you with me!”

Ling Nuonuo’s little face suddenly looked rather unhappy.

She blinked her big eyes and looked at Song Qingtian, “Mommy…”

Ling Nuonuo felt a bit uncomfortable, but she was still too young to understand what it meant.

Song Qingtian kissed her daughter and said, “But Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa both love Nuonuo very much, so they accepted Mommy—for Nuonuo’s sake.”

Ling Nuonuo’s mood improved a lot. “They like me even before they’ve met me?”

“Of course! Nuonuo is their child. It’s just like if Mommy were pregnant—Nuonuo might or might not have younger siblings, but since they’re Nuonuo’s little brothers and sisters, Nuonuo naturally likes them. It’s the same principle.”

Ling Nuonuo understood and was very happy.

But then she suddenly felt a bit uneasy again: “So Daddy and Mommy are together because of Nuonuo, but Daddy still doesn’t like Mommy!”

“Nuonuo, you’re very smart. That’s exactly what Mommy means.”

“So Daddy doesn’t really like Mommy, which is why Mommy isn’t having a baby for him.”

Song Qingtian felt a bit helpless—this was, after all, the reality.

Yet she still thought that being so blunt with Ling Nuonuo about all this would be far too cruel for her.

Seeing that Song Qingtian remained silent, Ling Nuonuo asked, “Mommy, do you love Nuonuo?”

“Of course I do! In the past, Mommy wasn’t good to Nuonuo because I was blindly in love with Daddy and neglected Nuonuo. Now, Nuonuo is everything to Mommy—everything in the whole world. The most important thing Mommy can do is raise Nuonuo well and make sure she grows up happy and joyful!”

Ling Nuonuo’s little face turned slightly red, and she became a bit shy. “Nuonuo loves Mommy too—Mommy is Nuonuo’s whole world.”

“There are many worlds for Nuonuo, and Mommy hopes to be just a small part of them. When Nuonuo grows up, she’ll be able to go out and find her own world. Mommy is really looking forward to that!”

“Mommy, Nuonuo understands now. Mommy doesn’t like Daddy anymore and won’t have a baby. Once Nuonuo finds someone she really likes, she’ll have a baby—and Nuonuo will like that person too!”

Song Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief and kissed Ling Nuonuo. “Mommy loves Nuonuo, but Mommy hasn’t thought that far ahead yet. Still, Nuonuo can rest assured—Mommy loves you very much, and Daddy loves you just as much. The relationship between Daddy and Mommy doesn’t interfere with Nuonuo at all. Like all other children, Nuonuo will receive all the love from both Daddy and Mommy!”

“Oh!”

Ling Nuonuo felt a little shy and a little proud.

Both Daddy and Mommy loved her!

With that explanation clear, Song Qingtian’s burden was lifted.

Now she only needed to explain Ling Hanyu—and his words weren’t really that important anyway.

After all, Ling Hanyu hadn’t really wanted children in the first place.

He’d only kept Nuonuo out of necessity.

It was just like back then, when the original female supporting character had Nuonuo—once she had Nuonuo, she kept her.

After all, Nuonuo was a little life, and she belonged to the Ling family.

Thinking this way, Song Qingtian felt even more at peace.
