Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

Chapter 441 Why don't you give it a try?

"Hey—don't talk nonsense. I'm trying to lighten your burden, okay? When you're young, let them eat, drink, and have fun to their heart's content. Then let them sink into a sea of ​​homework and walk the same path their parents walked."

Tang Shuxin scoffed at Song Lingge's impassioned speech. She wished she could immediately drag Qin Zihan and Qin Zichen over and show them the true colors of this precious older sister.

"Tell me, what burden are you trying to lighten for us? Are you going to make my two little darlings fear you like the plague? Will they cling to me with everything? No way, I'll be driven crazy by that."

"You can't even be nice to your son, and you can't even make him do lots of practice problems. You're really picky!"

"Thank you so much!" Tang Shuxin was speechless.

Song Lingge looked at her, regained her composure, and said, "Speaking of which, I've always owed you a thank you."

Tang Shuxin immediately understood what she was referring to and said with a smile, "That was just something I did casually, nothing much. By the way, I've already urged my colleague, and we should have the results by tomorrow. I'll bring them back after get off work."

"No, call me when the results are out, and I'll come pick them up myself. If it's early, I'll treat you to lunch."

“That’s great, I’ll go there early this morning and urge them.”

"What are you talking about?" Qiao Nansheng and Qin Yu walked over.

"Nothing much, just casual conversation," Song Lingge replied.

Tang Shuxin walked up to Qin Yu and pushed him from behind, saying, "What are men doing meddling in women's conversation?"

"My dear wife, please forgive me. I just wanted to ask if you wanted a piece of cake," Qin Yu said affectionately.

Tang Shuxin continued to push him, saying, "That suits me perfectly."

After they left, Song Lingge looked at Qiao Nansheng and said, "Let's go in too. Did you try the cake? I think it turned out pretty well today, no disasters."

Qiao Nansheng pulled her back and said with a smile, "Can't you tell that your aunt is doing this on purpose?"

"Deliberately what?" Song Lingge asked, bewildered.

Qiao Nansheng tapped her forehead helplessly. His girlfriend often seemed very shrewd, but she was also quite adorable when she was a bit absent-minded.

"Give us some time alone!"

Song Lingge suddenly realized that it wasn't that she was slow to understand. It was just that in her heart, her relationship with Qiao Nansheng was very stable, and it was no longer the time when they had just confessed their feelings and still needed to maintain their relationship.

"Aunt Tang just said that we'll know the results tomorrow."

Qiao Nansheng immediately realized she was referring to a paternity test: "If... I mean if, the child is indeed..."

"You think I only got the paternity test because I couldn't accept that the child was his?"

Qiao Nansheng has a harmonious family. Even though he feels sorry for Song Lingge, he certainly cannot understand her family situation, or more accurately, he cannot accept the way her father treats his daughter.

"It's ridiculous, I may not be a good daughter in the traditional sense, I didn't consider him at all when I decided to investigate."

Qiao Nansheng didn't interrupt. He knew Song Lingge hadn't finished speaking and was afraid that if he spoke up, it would dampen her enthusiasm for talking.

He enjoyed listening to her vent.

"So what I said at that time was the truth. It was just that because it was Zhou Songmei's child, I wanted to check it out. Or rather, it was my curiosity that got the better of me," Song Lingge confessed.

Of course, it's not just about curiosity.

If Zhou Songmei's child really wasn't Song Jianping's, then Song Lingge's actions were more than just curiosity.

She couldn't tell Qiao Nansheng this.

In the past, in order to test his true feelings, she was willing to show him everything, good or bad.

But things are different now. Now that she's committed to him, she'll be more reserved, and there's no need to voice some of her thoughts. Or rather, there's no need to say anything before things are certain.

Relationships need nurturing.

She had fallen in love with Qiao Nansheng, and naturally didn't want to have a bad image in his eyes.

"Do you think I'm pretty childish?" Song Lingge asked.

Qiao Nansheng pondered for a long time before slowly shaking his head.

“With a father like that, I can’t imagine what would have happened if you hadn’t thought things through more. So you’re doing just fine the way you are now.”

"Really? You think so?" Song Lingge was genuinely surprised.

"Really! Actually, there was a time when I felt really guilty. I felt like I wasn't a good boyfriend, that I couldn't be someone you could rely on, and that I couldn't even help you with many things."

Are you referring to the time you spent abroad?

“It’s not just that; I’ll feel that way again after I come back. You’re too independent, so independent that it seems like you don’t need me at all.”

"When did the change occur?"

Song Lingge didn't comfort him, nor did she rush to explain that she didn't need him. She believed that Qiao Nansheng already had a definite answer in his heart when he said those words.

“Every time I talk to you, I try to summarize and reflect. You are a very independent person, so why should I force you to change or make you dependent on me? Instead of forcing things, I will be pleasantly surprised.”

"Oh? What do you mean?" Song Lingge asked.

"That time you were surrounded, you called me." Qiao Nansheng said with a smile, his eyes gleaming with smugness, which he probably didn't even try to hide.

His girlfriend finally took the initiative to ask for help.

Song Lingge suddenly understood a saying—a man is a boy until he dies.

She simply couldn't understand why Qiao Nansheng would find a sense of belonging in such a matter. However, she wouldn't point it out.

She liked seeing the smug look in his eyes.

"Do you finally feel needed?"

“Well, the fact that you didn’t tell me means you can handle it yourself. Once you tell me, I’ll actively try my best to help you. That’s what a boyfriend should do,” Qiao Nansheng said solemnly.

"Yes, Qiao's analysis is good. Keep up the good work!"

"Song Lingge, are you teasing me?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare!"

The sounds of young men and women laughing and joking could be heard from the small garden.

Behind a giant evergreen tree not far away, Tang Shuxin said as if to take credit, "All my efforts weren't in vain. Now you know why I pushed you away, right?"

Qin Yu replied in a flattering tone, "I know, it seems you really have to watch other people date."

"Hmm?" Tang Shuxin's eyes narrowed into slits. "What? It seems like dating me is beneath you?"

Qin Yu hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, I was just talking nonsense. Please forgive me, my dear wife!"

Tang Shuxin rolled up her sleeves and said with a forced smile, "What did Lingge say to me last time? It was something like men always use jokes to express their true feelings!"

"No, no, no, she's talking nonsense. How many men has she even met?" Qin Yu felt the pressure growing stronger and stronger. After thinking it over, he decided he had to run away immediately.

"Qin Yu, you stop right there!"

……

“They’re so energetic,” Song Lingge said with a smile.

"You won't do this in the future, will you?" Qiao Nansheng asked.

"How about you try?"
