Chapter 29: With Him, You're Ignoring Me

Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen

For the past few days, Zhan Qi had been preoccupied with the ongoing investigation as the police dug deeper into the kidnapping and car explosion. Every day, he would leave the house early and return late, but with Little Treasure’s arrival, Fu Qing no longer felt lonesome without Zhan Qi around.

Little Treasure was ecstatic after seeing Fu Qing’s palatial villa for the first time, and he couldn’t stop staring at it with his mouth agape.

He ran around the house, checking each room the moment he stepped inside, knocking on every door here and there, and feeling at ease. He had a great time exploring the large villa.

Fu Qing kept a close eye on him, fearful that Little Treasure would injure himself due to his flurry of activity. She was so preoccupied with looking after him that she failed to notice Zhan Qi’s exit and arrival at the house.

Little Treasure insisted on sleeping next to Fu Qing that night, and he even begged her to read him a bedtime story.

All Fu Qing could offer Zhan Qi was a remorseful smile when she told him about the situation. She told him to sleep on his own for a while before going to Little Treasure’s room to spend the night in his single bed beside him.

The next morning, Zhan Qi awoke early and had his usual breakfast of toast, fried eggs, and black coffee. Fu Qing didn’t even look up from the newspaper she was reading when he stood up and said he was leaving. She simply stated, “Drive carefully.”

Zhan Qi frowned as he expressed his displeasure with the current situation. He sensed that Fu Qing was no longer as affectionate and devoted to him as she had been in the past.

Before he could leave the villa, he heard Fu Qing’s voice behind him say, “Little Treasure, where do you want to go today?”

In a childlike manner, Little Treasure replied, “I want to go to the amusement park and ride a roller coaster.”

“I’m sorry, but that ride is too dangerous for your age, and I don’t think they’ll let you on it because you’re too small.”

Damn it! Why is she treating Little Treasure with such kindness? Why is she bothering to take care of him in the first place?

“I’m leaving now, Qing!”

Zhan Qi called out to her again, expecting her to kiss him goodbye as she had done before.

To his surprise, Fu Qing didn’t even bother to look at him. With her attention focused on the little boy, she only said, “Okay.”

Zhan Qi scoffed bitterly and walked away, asking the driver to take him to the office.

But Fu Qing didn’t hear him since she was preoccupied with thoughts on where she could take Little Treasure that day.

“Does it seem like your husband is in a bad mood because you didn’t send him out and wave goodbye?” Little Treasure mumbled into Fu Qing’s ear and smiled as the car sped away.

“What is there for him to be upset about?” Fu Qing answered without thinking. “He isn’t a kid.”

Little Treasure gave her a small smile before falling silent.

“Should we go to the nearby water park and have some fun? There are kids your age there, so you’ll make new friends and have a good time with them.”

Little Treasure dutifully nodded. “Okay.”

She requested that the driver pick them up before sunset. They ate, drank, and played while they were there.

Zhan Qi was already at home when they arrived, much to Fu Qing’s surprise. He was sitting at the dining table, with a lavish feast spread out before him.

“Uh, I wasn’t expecting you back so soon tonight,” Fu Qing said. “Are you finished with your work?” she asked and smiled apologetically at him.

Zhan Qi frowned as he said, “I was hoping you’d be home, or at least come back early so we could have dinner together.”

Fu Qing flushed and averted his gaze. “I had dinner outside with Little Treasure, and I didn’t tell you because I figured you’d be home late tonight.”

As he observed the two of them interact, Zhan Qi became irritated.

“It looks like you are so fond of Little Treasure.”

“Well, Little Treasure is extremely cute and smart,” Fu Qing said genuinely, without pausing to think about her response.

“Are you ignoring me now that you have him?”

“What?”

Fu Qing had never seen Zhan Qi so upset before. For a brief moment, she was taken aback before bursting into laughter. She walked over to his side and sat down beside him.

“What are you talking about? Little Treasure is just a kid.”

She picked up her chopsticks and selected a few of Zhan Qi’s favorite dishes before placing them in the bowl before him.

“I’m sorry for missing such a lovely dinner. I didn’t mean to eat outside and arrive home late.”

Zhan Qi shifted his weight uncomfortably, his tone chilly and gruff.

“There’s no need to apologize or explain yourself. You did nothing wrong, and I know I’m not usually at home at this hour.”

Fu Qing was taken aback by what she had just heard. She sensed that Zhan Qi wasn’t in the best of moods today.

“Are you going somewhere early tomorrow morning? If so, I’d like to get up and make your breakfast.”

Without turning his head, Zhan Qi answered, “No, I don’t have plans. I’m not going out tomorrow..”
