Chapter 320: Being Followed

The couple watched the video and then went to the bathroom.

Only after they had made love did they return to rest.

Ling Hanyu wrapped his arms around Song Qingtian and asked, “Do you regret coming back with me?”

Song Qingtian was already sleepy.

“So what if I do? Isn’t it too late to go back anyway?”

Song Qingtian thought about why she had come with Ling Hanyu and felt a bit regretful.

Before they left, Ling Hanyu had said that once they got here, he would buy back all her dowry items one by one.

But now that they were back, he hadn’t mentioned it at all.

She wasn’t stingy; she didn’t want to argue over a little dowry.

But just because she didn’t say anything didn’t mean Ling Hanyu would forget?

Song Qingtian finally understood something:

the helplessness of a married woman.

If you’re not married, during the dating phase, he’ll still send flowers and gifts.

But once you’re married, not even a single cabbage is given.

The most pitiful thing is that she hasn’t even had time to date yet—she’s already married and has a child.

How tragic!

“Hmph!”

Unsatisfied with Song Qingtian’s answer, Ling Hanyu let out a cold huff.

Song Qingtian, however, couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to him; she just went to sleep.

This left Ling Hanyu feeling frustrated for quite a while before he finally fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Ling Hanyu prepared everything for his daughter, and father and daughter hurried off to report to the police station.

Watching Ling Hanyu leave with Ling Nuonuo, Aunt Chen couldn’t help but ask Song Qingtian, “What’s wrong with Mister? It seems like he’s afraid to go to work and just wants to take Nuonuo out to play. And look at Nuonuo—she’s so excited! She’s been happily spinning around since early morning, shouting that she wants to go find the police officers to play with.”

Aunt Chen really couldn’t understand.

Shouldn’t men be out there working hard, leaving the kids to their wives to take care of?

But now it looks like Ling Hanyu clearly wants to take his daughter along and make Song Qingtian go to the office to work.

Song Qingtian said, “His real intention is just to have me get familiar with the office environment. Once Nuonuo starts school, he’ll bring me in to help out. Otherwise, if I’m taking Nuonuo to school and leave her at home, how could he feel at ease?”

“Huh?”

Aunt Chen was startled: “What’s there to worry about? Does he really suspect you…?”

“No, it’s not suspicion—it’s that he wants me to be by his side all the time, every moment.”

Aunt Chen began to understand a bit, but she still asked, “Well, you two are getting along great now, but who knows what will happen later… What if…?”

“He doesn’t care about the future,” Song Qingtian replied, looking very helpless.

Aunt Chen asked, “Could it be that he likes you so much now that he just… can’t bear to be apart from you?”

“Something like that.”

As Song Qingtian’s godmother, Aunt Chen always considered everything from Song Qingtian’s perspective.

The two women even shared some heartfelt talks.

Song Qingtian never hid anything from Aunt Chen.

Whatever Aunt Chen asked, Song Qingtian would tell her.

“This is actually a good thing, but Mister’s temper… I’m afraid he might not like you as much later on, and your feelings could grow cold!”

Song Qingtian looked at Aunt Chen, who was truly acting out of kindness.

“In fact, the best kind of relationship is one that’s calm and unassuming. If it’s too passionate, sometimes it can backfire!”

“Don’t worry, he won’t. Even if he does, what am I afraid of? Godmother, I understand your concerns, but as long as I have Nuonuo, even if Ling Hanyu falls for someone else, I’ll be fine. When a relationship reaches the end of its destined path, you just have to let go—not only to give Ling Hanyu his freedom, but also to set myself free.”

“A lifetime is long. If he no longer wants to eat my dish, someone else might. If he gets bored, he can just try a different flavor. It won’t hurt him or me.”

“Many times, people make things difficult for themselves simply because they can’t see the bigger picture. Once you do, there’s nothing left to worry about.”

Aunt Chen nodded: “That makes sense. In fact, if you look at it positively, Mister is a good person—he wouldn’t possibly give you up.”

Song Qingtian smiled: “Who knows?”

Aunt Chen felt she’d talked too much.

She didn’t dare say much more, but when she opened her mouth to explain, Song Qingtian handed her a card.

“This…”

“Godmother, this is my secondary card. You’re responsible for the household expenses—don’t skimp on anything you need to buy. I’ve got money now.”

Aunt Chen hesitated for a moment, then took the card.

“I understand.”

After talking with Aunt Chen, Song Qingtian headed to the office.

Aunt Chen brought her lunch—two portions, no less.

Song Qingtian said she couldn’t get used to eating out, so Aunt Chen prepared it for her.

Song Qingtian wondered, “Who else?”

Aunt Chen said, “Secretary Yang loves the food I cook. When you and Mister were unconscious, it was he who protected us, so I made extra for him.”

“Got it. Well, I’m off then!”

Only then did Song Qingtian leave.

And as soon as she stepped outside, she found herself being followed.
