I became a stepmother and got rich with my cute baby.

At this moment, Cheng Qian couldn't find her anywhere and finally came to his room.

"Madam, why are you ignoring me?" He walked towards Song Wanqing with a wronged tone, but his eyes fell on the clothes in her hands, and his body suddenly froze.

Song Wanqing's eyes were calm, "What do you want to see me for?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask my lady if she could accompany me for a walk by the river later?" He pursed his lips slightly, still holding on to a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Cheng Qian'an, do you think it's fun to lie to me? How long are you going to pretend?" she asked coldly.

This dress was exactly the same style as the one the man she met when she sneaked into the enemy's camp that night was wearing. Even the embroidery on the inside of the cuffs was exactly the same.

Thinking about that look and the occasional abnormality of Cheng Qian'an before, all the truth became clear.

"It's really a big surprise, Cheng Qian."

Her dark eyes suddenly turned cold as she stared into his eyes, and as expected, she saw his panic at being discovered.

"My dear, please listen to my explanation." Seeing Song Wanqing's gentle eyes frost, he felt a little flustered. "I didn't mean to lie to you. At first, I was worried that you wouldn't want to be with me after you knew I was back to normal. Later, I kept dragging it out, and I didn't know how to explain it to you. I was worried that you would be angry."

He explained a long paragraph, and Song Wanqing just listened with a blank expression. After a long time, he said, "I understand."

Her attitude was still cold. Cheng Qian'an's heart skipped a beat. He just pulled her sleeve and said, "Please forgive me."

He stammered, somewhat hesitant to use his usual, easy-to-say name.

Song Wanqing originally wanted to break free from that hand, but when she looked up, she saw his pitiful eyes and felt a little understanding in her heart.

People like Cheng Qian'an are extremely cautious. After all, for him, one wrong step could lead to a complete loss, so it is acceptable for him to hide it from her at the beginning.

But I always feel a little sour in my heart, as if I am not trusted.

Therefore, she did not intend to forgive Cheng Qian'an so easily. She planned to leave him alone and see if he would dare to do it again next time.

"Think about it carefully at home." She looked up and said to Cheng Qian'an, "I'm going to take Yuexi and Si Ze out shopping. I haven't been with them for a long time."

There was no ups and downs in her tone, she just explained it as a routine matter.

Hearing her words, Cheng Qian'an became more and more panicked and didn't know what to do. Seeing her turn around and leave, he reached out to pull her clothes, but only pulled empty space.

It felt like there was a thousand-pound weight on his feet, weighing him down so much that he couldn't even lift his legs.

In a trance, I only heard her calling Cheng Yuexi and Cheng Size to go out.

"Daddy isn't going?"

Cheng Yuexi's confused voice sounded.

"Daddy is feeling a little unwell and can't go out and play with us."

Cheng Size was very sensible, "Then let's call a doctor back for Dad."

"Don't worry, Daddy has already taken the medicine, and he wants to lie down for a while."

He wanted to walk out of the room and tell the two children that he was fine, but he remembered Song Wanqing's cold eyes. His heart trembled slightly. In the end, he stood where he was, listening to their voices gradually fading away as the courtyard gate closed.

The mother and her two children walked hand in hand on the street, and various hawking sounds could be heard.

"Mom, I want to eat this!" Cheng Yuexi said loudly, pointing excitedly at the old man selling candied haws next to her.

The bright red hawthorns were coated with a layer of sugar and looked particularly tempting. Song Wanqing immediately paid for three candied haws and started eating one each.

Cheng Size also took a fancy to some exquisite little gadgets, and Song Wanqing bought them all for him.

Passing by some jewelry stalls on the road, she occasionally stopped to look, but ultimately did not buy anything.

They have already bought a lot of things, and Cheng Yuexi and Cheng Size are both children, so if they buy more, they might not be able to take them back.

If only Cheng Qi'an were here...

Thinking of this, Song Wanqing patted his head. He had concealed so many things from him, how could he not be punished?

While she was in a trance, Cheng Yuexi suddenly pointed at the corner of the street and shouted, "Daddy! Daddy is here!"

"We are here! Daddy, come here quickly!" She suddenly jumped up, waving the candied haws in her hand and shouting in that direction.

Song Wanqing's heart trembled slightly and she looked up.

Cheng Qian'an was standing on the street corner watching them. He met her gaze and slowly smiled a slightly flattering smile.

Song Wanqing snorted coldly and covered Cheng Yuexi's eyes. "Okay, stop shouting. You are seeing things. That is not your father. Your father is not feeling well and is still lying at home."

Cheng Yuexi moved her hand away, opened her eyes wide and asked in confusion: "That's Daddy, why is Mom pretending not to know him?"

Song Wanqing coughed lightly, holding a little carrot-headed boy with one hand and walked forward, "That man just looks like your father, let's go!"

Cheng Yuexi was puzzled and tried to break free, but was held back by Cheng Size.

He put his index finger to his lips and whispered to comfort his sister, "Daddy and Mom must be having a conflict. We have to find a way to help them."

Cheng Yuexi turned her head to look at Cheng Qian'an and saw him following closely behind her, with a helpless and aggrieved expression on his face.

It seems that what my brother said is true.

She suddenly felt a sense of mission and decided to help her father and mother repair their relationship!

She raised one hand towards Cheng Qian'an and made a fist, which earned her father a wry smile.

"Mom, I can't walk anymore. I want a hug." After the three of them walked for half an hour, Cheng Yuexi suddenly stretched out her arms towards Song Wanqing.

Song Wanqing realized that Cheng Yuexi was still young and must be tired after walking for so long.

She just lowered her head, looking at her hands full of things, and could only stand there awkwardly. But Cheng Yuexi still opened her arms obediently, making it hard for her to refuse.

There was a person behind him who was constantly making his presence felt. "How about I carry Yuexi? You can't carry so many things."

Song Wanqing stood there without saying anything.

Cheng Size coughed twice and suggested, "How about Yuexi, let Daddy come over and hold you. Mommy is so tired."

Cheng Yuexi turned to Cheng Qian'an and said, "Daddy, come and hug me. I can't walk anymore."

Cheng Qian'an glanced in the direction of Song Wanqing and saw that she was just pursing her lips and did not say anything objecting, so he walked over and picked up his daughter, and then forcefully tried to take the thing from Song Wanqing's hand.

"No." She lowered her head and refused.

Cheng Size helped take the thing from Song Wanqing and hung it on Cheng Qian'an's wrist.

"Mom, just let Dad help you."

In the end, Song Wanqing did not refuse again. She turned around and continued to walk forward.

"Daddy, hurry up and catch up!" Cheng Yuexi patted Cheng Qian'an on the shoulder and said happily, "We can only help you up to this point. The rest depends on your performance, Daddy."

"Yes, Daddy, just following behind won't make Mom forgive you." Cheng Size said in a low and steady voice.
