Chapter 533: Bestowed A Marriage 5

Somewhat dumbfounded, Qi Qingyao said, “I didn’t say that I liked Uncle Lu when I first told you guys about this.”

“But just now…” Xiaobao was suddenly confused.

Qi Qingyao hurriedly explained, “I also like Si Jin, and I like a lot of other people too!”

Xiaobao held his chin seriously, he furrowed his brows solemnly and asked, “So, why don’t you like Uncle Lu?”

His ‘why don’t you’ question threw Qi Qingyao into deep thought once again. This habit of trying to guide one’s temperament when it was not what suited him… who was he taking after? At the moment, she was so interested in who his father was that she could die. However, she could only say helplessly, “…Oh Xiaobao, to like someone just means exactly that. I can like a lot of people, but I can only love one person.”

Xiaobao looked at her with watery eyes. “You really love the three of us.”

Qi Qingyao said very seriously, “This love is motherly love. The love I’m talking about is another kind of love. Liking and loving are not the same things.”

Xiaobao pondered for a moment before blinking his eyes and saying, “Just like how I like rabbits, I also like cats, but my most loved animals are baby goats. Because baby goats are so adorable when they are young, but when they’re older, we can eat them—that’s why I love little goats the most.”

“…Alright, something like that.” It was nothing like that at all!! The child was still too young, however, and was unable to understand what she meant, so there was no point in her trying to explain it too much.

Xiaobao held his head up as if he understood it completely. With cheeks puffed, he said, “Then, does Mommy not think that she can marry Uncle Lu?”

“This is the problem that I wanted to discuss with you guys today. I can marry him to survive, but it’s because I like him, so I don’t want to hurt him. What’s more, I don’t want people to be nice to me just because of Si Jin.”

Qi Qingyao spoke a bunch of nonsense. “I don’t even know how to say it. The point is, I cannot allow us to become other people’s chess pieces. If I really were to get married, I would want to look for a man whom I truly adore. He would love that I love you all, and I would also love him dearly.”

Like a curious baby, Xiaobao asked, “This love Mommy is talking about, how is it different from ordinary love?”

Qi Qingyao was silent for a moment before answering, “I haven’t met anyone who makes my heart sing yet! So I can’t say for sure!”

Xiaobao seemed to understand her not being able to answer for certain, so he did not ask any more questions. He only asked, “So what’s Mommy’s plan now…?”

Qi Qingyao shrugged. She caressed the little kid’s head leisurely and said, “It’s what I told you just now. I can’t go against the edict—I can only follow orders and get married. After that, he can either divorce me, or I’ll divorce him. And that’ll be done with.”

“…”

Xiaobao frowned. He didn’t think things would be as simple as Mommy made it out to be. Even under the empress’s edict, one could simply divorce after getting married. The Lu family, in theory, would not do such a foolish thing. If Mommy divorced Uncle Lu, the Lu family would not let her get away with it so easily.

Could things really go that smoothly?

He had serious doubts.

However, there did not seem to be any other way out of this.

Qi Qingyao left.

Dabao and Erniu surrounded Xiaobao, both of them looking stunned.

“Could you explain again whatever it is you discussed with Mommy just now?” Dabao said a little embarrassedly as he scratched his head.

Xiaobao, “…”

Erniu blinked, also looking at Xiaobao pleadingly.

Xiaobao thought with mild confusion.

They had all been born from the same womb—how were these two’s comprehension skills so poor…?

Xiaobao was like a little adult and began explaining what he had just spoken about as well as its seriousness to the both of them…

He explained for about half an hour before the two finally understood.

Then, Dabao and Erniu were both stunned.

…

On the other side.

Since Jiang Yeqian could not see Qi Qingyao, he was sat in his residence—as restless like a lizard in still water.

Seeing his Excellency like that, Zhao Xin thought about how he had already retired—but even if he was not going to go back to the ghost organization, he still should not be this carefree while he remained in Capital City! His Excellency did not want to go to the Zhaixing Administration, nor did he want to go out. Constantly pacing around here was also not the right way to go!
