I Transmigrate as a Single Mother of the Three Antagonists - Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Going To Have A Stepfather

Qiu Tong steadied herself in the washroom and returned to the cabin. She wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but whenever her eyes met Jin Yang’s, she would subconsciously avoid them.

When Jin Yang saw her return, he stood up so that she could move into the inner seat.

The attendant just happened to be pushing a food cart down the aisle, making it a tight squeeze. Jin Yang held Qiu Tong’s elbow and put his other hand on her waist, wanting to support her. Qiu Tong felt the warmth of his palm and immediately looked up at him…

Their eyes met. Jin Yang let go apologetically and sat beside her in silence.

Even though they did not mention what had just happened, their evasive looks revealed much.

Qiu Xingyu rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Qiu Tong. Seeing that her lips were a little swollen, Little Yu asked innocently, “Mommy, why is your mouth swollen? I think you were bitten!”

Qiu Tong glanced at Jin Yang hurriedly and replied perfunctorily, “Mommy has lipitis. It’s alright.”

Little Yu nodded, believing in Qiu Tong’s explanation. She seriously explained, “Lipitis might be due to a lack of vitamins in the body. When we get back, I’ll get Eldest Brother to help Mommy prepare some ointment that can reduce inflammation and protect the lips. It’ll definitely be more effective than those sold outside!”

“Mommy, don’t worry. You will be fine soon.”

Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao looked at each other. They did not believe in Qiu Tong’s explanation. They were not as easy to deceive as Little Yu.

They looked at Jin Yang and a thought popped up in their minds at the same time—it seemed like they were really going to have a stepfather!

Qiu Xingyuan sized up Jin Yang’s face and figure seriously. From time to time, the female passengers in front would turn their heads to steal glances at Jin Yang. Qiu Xingyuan frowned as Jin Yang’s image decreased a few notches in his heart. He was dissatisfied with everything he saw.

Sensing Qiu Xingyuan’s gaze on Jin Yang, Little Yu sneaked over to his side and muttered softly, “Uncle Song Yan is so handsome, right? Elder Brother looks somewhat similar to Uncle, but Uncle Song Yan is more manly and can protect Mommy.”

Qiu Xingyu had completely defected to the “other side”. Qiu Xingyuan deliberately refuted, “How is he handsome?”

“I don’t look like him at all. He looks quite old. There are already wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.”

“Don’t you realize that he’s always putting on airs? He’s not easy going at all. Anyone who has to live with him will definitely feel uncomfortable!”

Hearing Qiu Xingyuan’s ridicule, Little Yu quietly said, “I think Elder Brother behaves like that too.”

Qiu Xingyuan choked on his words. He turned his head to look at the white clouds outside the window in a huff, but he could not help turning back to stare at Jin Yang again.

…

At the airport in S City, Qiu Tong waited with the children for their luggage to be sent out.

A passerby standing beside them casually mentioned the news of a riot in the prison. “Have you heard? A few prisoners seemed to have been killed or injured in the riot. I think a few of them even sneaked out. I wonder if they were caught.”

“That’s right. We have to be careful these days!”

Qiu Tong thought of Qiu Rong, who was in prison. She wanted to send the children back to the villa before rushing to the prison to investigate the situation.

However, Qiu Xingyuan seemed to have guessed her thoughts. He raised his little face and said firmly, “We want to go with you!”
