A Wealthy Family’s Married-In Alpha Redemption On A Parenting Variety Show - Chapter 17
Qin Shiyue lived up to everyone’s expectations and finally returned to normal on Wednesday.
She could walk, stand, and sit. There was basically nothing serious left, just a tiny bit of pain in her waist.
That evening, the family went back to Chu Siyun’s parents’ place.
When Meng Ruolan heard that their family of three was going to participate in a travel variety show, she was so angry she slapped her chopsticks onto the table and pointed at Chu Siyun as she cursed, “Do you even have a conscience? For money, you’re pushing your wife and child into the center of public opinion?”
Chu Siyun defended herself in a small voice. “That’s not it.”
Meng Ruolan was blinded by anger. “What do you mean, that’s not it?”
Chu Dongnan quickly held back his wife, who was about to stand up. “Calm down, calm down. Let her finish explaining.”
Qin Shiyue lightly patted Chu Siyun’s arm, signaling that she would speak.
“Mom, she feels she’s spent too little time with her family and wants to make it up to us. That’s why she’s doing this.”
Meng Ruolan was still angry. “There are plenty of ways to make it up. It has to be this?”
Qin Shiyue’s tone was peaceful and her logic was clear. “When we went public, we were already at the center of public opinion. Going on the show is to whitewash things faster. Otherwise, every time she accompanies us once, we’ll get scolded once.”
Meng Ruolan listened to Qin Shiyue’s words. “You have to go?”
Qin Shiyue nodded. “Mm. The contract has already been signed.”
Meng Ruolan digested it by herself for a while, then picked up her chopsticks. “Eat.”
This meal was a little oppressive.
After dinner, Meng Ruolan and Chu Dongnan took Chu Xiao back to their room with them. Since the little one was about to travel far away, the old couple wanted to spend time with her.
Chu Siyun looked dispirited, walking toward the room as if she had no soul.
Qin Shiyue quickly followed.
After closing the bedroom door, Qin Shiyue asked, “Unhappy?”
Chu Siyun turned around and hugged Qin Shiyue around the waist, burying her face in her neck as she said gloomily, “Mm.”
Qin Shiyue hugged her back. “It’s fine. In another couple of years, it’ll be better.”
When Chu Siyun got pregnant, Qin Shiyue had not even turned twenty yet.
Although she was an alpha, Chu Siyun’s parents generally placed the blame on their own daughter.
Chu Siyun was already in her twenties. It must have been her who had seduced the young girl.
When they got married, Qin Shiyue not only had to deal with the upsetting matters in her own family, but also had to handle Chu Siyun, that great deity with a strange temper. At such a young age, Qin Shiyue had done very well.
During the pregnancy, Qin Shiyue, who was still a student, attended classes, did projects, and took exams. Outside of that, she waited on Chu Siyun hand and foot, afraid that anything might go wrong.
After the child was born, Qin Shiyue studied while learning how to take care of a baby.
Later, Qin Shiyue graduated and raised the child very well on her own, while also taking care of Chu Siyun during her heats.
And Chu Siyun?
When they got married, she had acted out of anger. As the older one, not only had she not cared about her other half’s awful family situation, she had constantly caused trouble too.
During pregnancy, she had been incredibly delicate and had many demands. That much could be understood.
But after giving birth, the moment she finished postpartum confinement, she rolled right back into that big dye vat called the entertainment industry.
Forget not caring for her wife or child—her wife even had to take care of her.
Comparing the two, Chu Dongnan was still all right. He merely cared more about Qin Shiyue, and his attitude toward Chu Siyun had not changed much.
Meng Ruolan was different. Looking at Qin Shiyue, everything seemed good. Looking at Chu Siyun, nothing pleased her. It was abnormal if she did not scold her a few lines every time.
Chu Siyun knew that she had been wrong before.
She was clearly five or six years older than Qin Shiyue, yet she had been very childish and needed the other person to tolerate her.
Now she wanted to make up for it. She wanted to change. Why did her mother still refuse to give her a chance to speak and explain?
Back when she had entered the entertainment industry long ago, she had also made her mother angry, but every time she went home, her mother still cared about her very much.
After getting married and having a child, everything changed.
Her mother had become someone else’s mother.
It was all Qin Shiyue’s fault.
Chu Siyun resentfully bit Qin Shiyue’s neck.
“Hiss—”
Qin Shiyue: …
She had kindly comforted someone.
Had she comforted an ungrateful wolf?
Chu Siyun knew it was wrong for her to think this way.
Qin Shiyue was good in every way. She had not done anything wrong. Her conflict with her mother had to be resolved by time.
Realizing her mistake, Chu Siyun stuck out her tongue and licked the place she had just bitten.
After doing all of this, Chu Siyun pulled away a little, biting her lower lip as she looked at Qin Shiyue with a pitiful, delicate expression. “I licked it for you, so it won’t hurt anymore.”
Qin Shiyue: …
She submitted to this woman.
Qin Shiyue reached one hand behind her.
With a click, the door was locked.
Chu Siyun still looked innocent.
She could not take it anymore.
This woman was absolutely doing it on purpose. One hundred percent.
Qin Shiyue exerted force with her hands and directly lifted Chu Siyun up.
Chu Siyun looked pure and harmless on the surface, but her actions were extremely bold.
Her legs knew how to find their own position, wrapping around Qin Shiyue’s waist. Her hands also knew how to find their own position, tearing off Qin Shiyue’s suppressant patch while stroking her gland. Her mouth was even better at finding its place, kissing Qin Shiyue one step ahead of her.
Chu Siyun had a clear understanding of her own charm.
After sleeping together for these years, Qin Shiyue had never restrained her desire in front of her.
She understood very well how to tempt the other woman.
Later, Chu Siyun felt as if her soul had drifted away.
She told Qin Shiyue to stop, but Qin Shiyue did not listen. Furious, she bit wherever she could catch hold of and showed no mercy with her mouth at all.
In the end, after the two of them showered and lay back down on the bed, Qin Shiyue sighed. “Sigh.”
Chu Siyun asked despite knowing perfectly well, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Shiyue sighed again. “Sigh. My neck hurts. I can’t sleep. You bit too hard.”
Chu Siyun gave a somewhat smug “Oh.”
This person really was…
Qin Shiyue moved closer to her and pulled her into her arms. “Lick it.”
Chu Siyun struggled to run away. “No.”
Qin Shiyue locked her in place with both hands, leaving her no way to escape.
Not only that, Qin Shiyue even leaned by Chu Siyun’s ear and used the same tone she had used just now. “If you lick it for me, it won’t hurt anymore.”
Chu Siyun slapped a hand over Qin Shiyue’s face. “You pervert.”
Qin Shiyue gave a light laugh. “You were the one who said it yourself.”
Her breath sprayed against Chu Siyun’s palm, making it itch, and Chu Siyun withdrew her hand.
Qin Shiyue asked again, “Mm?”
Chu Siyun refused. “No.”
Qin Shiyue had a hundred ways to subdue her.
In the end, Chu Siyun lay on Qin Shiyue’s body and, following her instructions, licked her wound for her.
After finishing, Chu Siyun was so exhausted she collapsed, rolled to the side, and fell asleep.
Qin Shiyue was also extremely tired. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she was still thinking: originally, she had been the one comforting someone, but in the end, she had paid herself in.
The next day, Chu Xiao took leave from school.
When the pleasure-indulging, fallen duo got out of bed, Chu Dongnan was in the backyard playing with Chu Xiao.
After lunch, the three of them went home to pick up their luggage, then headed to the airport.
The flight from Shencheng to Lucheng took more than three hours.
This was Chu Xiao’s first time taking a plane. Before this, Mommy had only taken her to closer places to play, because it was inconvenient for one person to take a child on a plane.
The production team sent a car to pick them up.
They would stay at the hotel for one night first, then officially begin recording the next day.
Chu Siyun was gradually becoming a good mother who could stand on her own.
She took Chu Xiao to bathe.
Because Qin Shiyue had exhausted herself the night before, and that morning her waist had hurt so much she had almost been unable to get up.
After mother and daughter entered the bathroom, Qin Shiyue received a call.
It was from that male omega, Di Zi’an.
Once the call connected, Di Zi’an sounded shocked. “President Qin, so you’re actually Best Actress Chu’s non-celebrity wife.”
Qin Shiyue’s tone was normal. “Mm. Please take care of us from now on.”
Di Zi’an glanced at his wife lying on the bed listening to music and stiffened his neck as he said, “Definitely.”
The two of them talked a little more about the progress of their new collaboration, exchanged a few polite words, then hung up.
Di Zi’an regretted it a little.
It was over. Why had he called in advance? When he saw her in the hotel lobby, he could have just pretended not to see her. Why did he have to stir up trouble?
If he “took care” of her too much, the person on the bed would definitely explode.
If he deliberately avoided suspicion too severely, his “Client Daddy” would definitely notice something.
If he had not greeted her, it would have been fine. But now that he had, being caught in the middle would not be easy.
Besides, the production team was especially good at stirring up trouble. What if…
Worst-case scenario: they created something between him and Qin Shiyue.
Neither family would be peaceful.
Then Di Zi’an felt that he must be overthinking. How could there be so many bad things?
Treat his wife as his wife and coax her properly. Treat his boss as his boss and respect her properly. Simple.
In the end, he still had to thank Qin Shiyue.
Back when several studios were bidding, there had been a small bug in his proposal. If Qin Shiyue had not stood against everyone else’s opinions and given him a chance, his studio would never have reached its current scale.
After hanging up, Qin Shiyue did not take what Di Zi’an said to heart.
Each family looked after its own affairs. Where would there be so many twists and turns?
Right now, the most fatal thing was her neck.
Yesterday, she had only felt pain. Today, she discovered that Chu Siyun had truly been willing to bite.
The skin was broken, and now there were still marks.
They were recording tomorrow, okay? A parent-child variety show. This looked so improper.
What kind of example was she setting for the child?
Using something should be able to cover it, right?
After coaxing the child to sleep, Qin Shiyue pointed at her own neck and asked, “What do we do about this?”
Chu Siyun felt guilty. “Just…”
Qin Shiyue interrupted her. “Can makeup cover it?”
Chu Siyun told the truth. “Not necessarily. There’s a wound. A professional makeup artist probably could, but I don’t have that skill.”
Qin Shiyue was so angry she punched the pillow on her lap.
Thinking she was clever, Chu Siyun suggested, “Use a Band-Aid.”
Under Qin Shiyue’s gaze, Chu Siyun’s voice grew smaller and smaller. “There’s a wound on your neck, so putting on a Band-Aid makes perfect sense…”
Qin Shiyue summarized incisively, “A cover-up that only makes it more obvious.”
Chu Siyun felt that her suggestion was not bad. “That’s still better than leaving it like this, right? Besides, taking ten thousand steps back, even if I could cover it for you with makeup, you’ll be recording all day. Can you guarantee it won’t smudge? Taking care of a child definitely isn’t just sitting there quietly and chatting.”
Qin Shiyue tilted her body and burrowed into the blanket. “Sleep.”
Chu Siyun looked at Qin Shiyue, who had moved to the middle, leaving her only the edge of the bed, and protested softly, “I want to sleep in the middle.”
Qin Shiyue did not move.
Chu Siyun poked her.
Qin Shiyue suddenly sat up. “You’re so troublesome.”
Although her mouth said troublesome, Qin Shiyue still obediently climbed over Chu Siyun and slept at the edge of the bed.
After Chu Siyun lay down properly while holding the child, Qin Shiyue, considering herself very sensible, hugged her wife and daughter from behind.
If she did not hug them, Chu Siyun would definitely ask for it again.
She was really so troublesome.
Until Qin Shiyue fell asleep, the words “troublesome creature Chu Siyun” kept replaying in her mind.
