Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely
Chapter 294 The Male Lead's Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife 33
In the evening, Yu Nuan watched TV with Wu's mother.
Yangyang was already asleep. Yunnuan watched TV while chatting with Wu's mother.
Yu Nuan pondered how to bring up Wu's father's matter with Wu's mother.
"Mom, when I brought Yangyang here today, I saw my dad in the neighborhood with his youngest son. Mom, my dad also lives in this neighborhood now, so you'll inevitably run into each other. Why don't you come and stay with me? I know you don't want to live at my house. I'll buy you a house in the neighborhood. That way, we'll be close by, and if anything happens, I can take care of you."
Hearing Yu Nuan mention Wu's father, Wu's mother's mood instantly soured. However, she felt that Yu Nuan was already struggling enough with a divorce and a child, and there would be many places where she would need money in the future. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Forget it, I'm fine living here. As for your father, why should I avoid him? It's not like I did anything wrong."
"Mom, actually I want you to move in and help me. Sometimes I need to work overtime at work, so I need you to help pick up Yangyang from school."
Yu Nuan made an excuse and told Wu's mother that she needed help.
Wu's mother was pondering whether Yu Nuan really wanted her to go and help, or whether she was worried that Yu Nuan would run into Wu's father's family and be in a bad mood.
After pondering for a while, Wu's mother said, "Let me think about it. I'll give you my answer when I've made up my mind."
Wu's mother had lived here for several years and got along well with her neighbors, so she didn't want to leave this familiar place.
Yun Nuan didn't expect her mother to give her an answer immediately, and said, "Okay, Mom, you go and enjoy this trip first. We'll talk about other things when we get back."
On the day Wu's mother left, Yu Nuan drove her to the travel agency's assembly point.
Qi Yanli still disappeared. Yangyang knew that his father was probably busy with work, so he didn't mention it to Yu Nuan.
However, Yu Nuan could see the disappointed look in Yang Yang's eyes every time he came out of the school gate and didn't see Qi Yanli.
So, Yu Nuan couldn't resist and made a phone call to Qi Yanli.
Qi Yanli answered the phone quickly.
"Nuan Nuan, is something the matter?"
"Qi Yanli, where are you now?"
"I'm on a business trip out of town." Qi Yanli didn't tell Yu Nuan where he was on the business trip, only that he was out of town.
"Qi Yanli, are you avoiding me? If I said anything too harsh that day, I apologize. Yangyang misses you very much. I hope that no matter what, you know that your daughter is thinking of you."
“Nuan Nuan, I’m not avoiding you. I just have something to do at the company. Tell Yang Yang I’ll be back soon and I’ll go see her when I get back.”
In fact, Qi Yanli was avoiding Yu Nuan. Yu Nuan's words that day made Qi Yanli realize that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to win back Yu Nuan's heart. Qi Yanli was heartbroken and did not know how to face Yu Nuan.
"I see."
Yu Nuan hung up the phone.
Gazing into the distance, Yu Nuan pondered how to reduce Yangyang's dependence on Qi Yanli.
Yu Nuan also knew that her separation from Qi Yanli made Yangyang feel very insecure, which is why she wanted to see Qi Yanli every day, as if in this way, in Yangyang's heart, her parents were still by her side.
However, one day, Qi Yanli will start a new life, and at that time, he will not be able to devote his entire life to Yangyang.
Yu Nuan thought she should have a serious talk with Yangyang.
That evening, Yu Nuan called Yangyang to her side, looked at him seriously, and said, "Yangyang, Mom has something to say to you."
Yangyang didn't sense Yu Nuan's seriousness. He played with the rag doll in his hand and said, "Mom, you say something."
"Yangyang, you're all grown up now, do you understand the significance of your mom and dad's divorce now?"
Yangyang pouted, looking aggrieved, and nodded, saying, "Mom, I know, it's just that you and Dad aren't together anymore."
"Yes, your father and I are separated now and no longer together, so your father and I are both independent people. Your father will marry a new wife in the future and may have other children, so you have to get used to life without your father around."
The thought that her father would be someone else's father made Yangyang cry sadly. "Mom, can you and Dad get back together?"
"No, Yangyang, your father and I have no feelings for each other anymore. It will be very painful for two people who have no feelings to continue living together. You are still young now, but you will understand when you grow up."
Yangyang cried softly, and Yu Nuan felt heartbroken watching her, but there was nothing she could do; Yangyang would understand this someday.
Two days later, Qi Yanli returned as promised.
However, Yangyang wasn't as excited as she had imagined when she saw Qi Yanli, because whenever she saw her father, she would remember what her mother had told her before: that her father would have other children and would leave her one day.
Qi Yanli tried to reach out and hug Yangyang, but Yangyang dodged him.
Qi Yanli looked at Yu Nuan with a questioning gaze.
Yu Nuan shook her head. She couldn't very well say that she had directly exposed the beautiful illusion that the three of them had been living together as a family for the past few days.
"Yangyang, are you angry that Daddy hasn't come to see you yet? Daddy is really busy with company matters. I'll come to see you as soon as I'm done."
Qi Yanli gently coaxed Yangyang.
"I'm not angry that Dad isn't here. If you're busy with work, Dad, don't come to pick me up from school anymore. My mom can pick me up."
Qi Yanli smiled but didn't say anything, assuming that Yangyang was still angry with him, which was why she said such a thing.
After seeing Yu Nuan and her daughter downstairs, Qi Yanli remembered his mother's earlier invitation to have dinner with Yu Nuan before leaving.
"Nuan Nuan, are you free this weekend?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"My parents want to invite you to dinner."
"Okay, let me know once you've decided on the time and place."
Yu Nuan agreed without hesitation.
On Ji Yuanzhou's side, both his and Xu Shuyue's parents were overjoyed to learn about their upcoming marriage.
They immediately began making arrangements for the wedding of the two of them.
The two had been together for several years, and everyone wished them well in finally getting married.
Afterwards, Ji Yuanzhou held a grand proposal ceremony for Xu Shuyue, gathering their relatives and friends at the venue. Under the witness of everyone, they made a lifelong promise.
Xu Shuyue was deeply moved by everything Ji Yuanzhou had done for her, and this time Ji Yuanzhou had carefully prepared an engagement ring.
At this moment, Xu Shuyue felt that it was a very happy thing for her to come into this world and meet Ji Yuanzhou.
On the weekend, Qi Yanli arranged a time with Yu Nuan. He called Yu Nuan in advance and drove to pick up Yu Nuan and her daughter.
When Yu Nuan and the others arrived, Qi's parents were already waiting.
Originally, Qi's mother planned to invite Yu Nuan to their home for dinner, but Qi Yanli refused, feeling that Yu Nuan would feel uncomfortable if his mother invited her to their home.
Qi's mother knew that Qi Yanli was considering Yu Nuan's feelings, so she arranged to meet at a restaurant outside.
The aftertaste of the meal is still lingering.
When Qi's mother saw Yu Nuan and Yang Yang arrive, she smiled happily and got up to greet them.
Qi's mother pulled Yu Nuan to sit next to her, and Yang Yang sat between Yu Nuan and Qi Yanli.
“Nuan Nuan, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Even though you and Yan Li have separated now, we’ve still spent so many years together. You never come to see me and your uncle. Nuan Nuan, you’ve really broken our hearts.”
"I'm sorry, Uncle and Aunt, I didn't think it through beforehand."
Indeed, Qi's parents did not wrong her in any way, even after they learned of their divorce.
Under interrogation, when it was discovered that Qi Yanli was at fault, Qi's father was about to use family discipline on Qi Yanli and cruelly beat him. Although Qi's mother also scolded Qi Yanli for being foolish, she felt sorry for him when she saw how badly he was hurt by his father, so she didn't say anything too harsh. She just told Qi Yanli not to regret it later.
"It's alright. You can bring Yangyang to visit us more often when you have time."
After all, Yangyang is their only granddaughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Qi really want to see her often.
Yu Nuan promised that she would bring Yangyang back to visit them often in the future, so Qi's mother stopped nagging about it.
Although Qi's father didn't say much, he looked at Yangyang with kindness and asked her gently.
Yu Nuan called out, "Uncle."
Qi's parents were still not used to calling Yu Nuan that, and were somewhat dazed.
"Nuan Nuan, it must be tough raising a child all by yourself."
Qi's father looked at Yu Nuan with guilt in his eyes. It was because he and his wife had not educated Qi Yanli well that they had caused so much harm to Yu Nuan and Yangyang.
"It's not hard work, Uncle. Yangyang is very well-behaved and sensible."
Yu Nuan said with a smile.
"That's good, Nuannuan. If you need any help in the future, just come to me and your aunt. We will do our best to help you."
Yu Nuan knew that Qi's father meant it sincerely, so she nodded and said, "Uncle, I won't be polite."
As they were talking, the waiter quickly served all the dishes.
Pointing to the dishes, Mother Qi said, "Nuan Nuan, eat more. I remember these are all your favorite dishes."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Qi's mother took the serving chopsticks and enthusiastically served food to Yu Nuan.
Yu Nuan politely said thank you.
Yu Nuan turned around to take care of Yangyang's meal, but found that Qi Yanli had already put a small bowl of food on Yangyang's plate, all of which were Yangyang's favorite dishes.
"Nuan Nuan, you eat your food. I'll take care of Yang Yang."
To be honest, Qi Yanli is incredibly good to Yangyang. With Qi Yanli around, Yu Nuan doesn't need to take care of Yangyang.
Yu Nuan nodded. Since someone was helping her, Yu Nuan was happy to have some free time.
Qi's parents saw all of this and, seeing the harmonious family of three, felt that it was better for their child to grow up with his parents.
Halfway through the meal, Qi's mother tentatively asked, "Nuan Nuan, do you have someone you like right now? You're still young, you can't live alone forever! Yang Yang will grow up someday, and he'll need someone to take care of him."
"Auntie, I'm fine taking care of Yangyang on my own right now, so I'm not thinking about these things for the time being."
"But········"
Qi's mother wanted to say something more, but Qi's father pushed her to stop.
Mr. Qi could tell that Yu Nuan didn't want to talk about these topics. So he told Mrs. Qi to stop, otherwise it would upset Yu Nuan.
Qi Yanli knew what Yu Nuan was thinking, and lowered his head dejectedly.
When Qi's mother saw Qi Yanli like this, she knew that Yu Nuan still refused to forgive him, and she couldn't help but sigh.
She understood Yu Nuan's attitude; she probably would never forgive Qi Yanli in this lifetime. Rationally speaking, Qi's mother knew Yu Nuan had done the right thing. A single betrayal is like a thorn stuck in her side forever; seeing him would bring back painful memories. Furthermore, Yu Nuan had already experienced betrayal in her previous marriage. Judging from Yu Nuan's resolute attitude towards that marriage, she was someone who couldn't tolerate infidelity. "If you choose betrayal, then it's over between us."
But emotionally, Qi Yanli was her son. Qi's mother felt remorse when she saw Qi Yanli, and she felt desolate when she saw Yu Nuan and her daughter.
Qi's mother loves her child dearly and wants him to be happy. Now, Qi Yanli's happiness lies in Yu Nuan.
Yu Nuan lowered her head and silently ate the food in her bowl, pretending not to understand what Qi's mother meant.
It seems this banquet wasn't just about eating; the main purpose was to persuade Yu Nuan to forgive Qi Yanli.
Qi's father looked at the silent crowd, worried that Yu Nuan might not come to see them again, so he smiled and changed the subject, talking about other things. After everyone stopped talking about this heavy topic, the atmosphere improved a lot.
After dinner, Qi's mother said, "Nuan Nuan, let Yang Yang come back with us for the night, and we'll send her back tomorrow."
"Sure, no problem, Auntie. Whenever you and Uncle miss Yangyang, just let her come back to be with you."
Yu Nuan never stopped Yangyang from interacting with Qi Yanli's family in this matter, because Yu Nuan knew that they were also Yangyang's relatives. The more people who loved Yangyang, the more happiness Yangyang could experience.
Yu Nuan didn't drive, so Qi Yanli needed to take her home.
As Qi Yanli went to get the car, Qi's mother whispered to Yu Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, Yanli really knows he was wrong and has changed. He still has feelings for you. Can you give him another chance and let him spend his whole life making amends?"
Yu Nuan didn't look at Qi's mother, but lowered her head and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm scared. I'm scared that if I forgive him this time, there will be a next time. I don't dare to gamble."
"No, no, Yanli will definitely not make such a mistake again."
"But Auntie, I can't trust him anymore."
Yu Nuan looked at Qi's mother and said in a very serious tone.
Qi's mother understood that if the couple lost trust, even if they stayed together, they might not be able to make it work.
Qi's mother was somewhat saddened to hear this answer, but she knew that Yu Nuan was not to blame for any of this.
Mother Qi reached out and hugged Yu Nuan, saying, "Nuan Nuan, it's not your fault. Your uncle and aunt are sorry. We didn't educate Yan Li well."
"No, your uncle and aunt are not wrong. It's just that my fate with Qi Yanli has come to an end."
