A Wealthy Family’s Married-In Alpha Redemption On A Parenting Variety Show - Chapter 20
The ones they had to feed were two little lambs who had lost their mothers at birth.
The herder family gave each of the two adults a “baby bottle.”
Qin Shiyue carried Chu Xiao into the sheep pen with one arm. While slowly crouching down, she walked toward the little lamb.
Chu Siyun aimed for the other lamb.
The not particularly large sheep pen became two completely different scenes.
Things went very smoothly on Qin Shiyue’s side. She handed the bottle over, and the lamb drank. In the end, she even switched the bottle into Chu Xiao’s hands so she could enjoy the experience.
Things were not very smooth on Chu Siyun’s side. She handed the bottle over, and the lamb turned its head to the other side. She moved closer again, and the lamb continued turning away.
Chu Siyun stood up gloomily with her hands on her hips. Looking at the harmonious scene on Qin Shiyue’s side, she said, “My lamb isn’t obedient.”
Qin Shiyue did not hear her. Her gaze was gentle as she watched her daughter feed the lamb. “Baby, when you were little, you were just like this. Back then, I held your bottle like this and fed you.”
Chu Xiao focused on feeding the lamb and ignored everyone.
The lamb drank very quickly. Before long, the bottle in Chu Xiao’s hands was empty.
Qin Shiyue stood up while holding the child. When she turned around and saw Chu Siyun behind her, she asked, “Why are you here?”
Chu Siyun puffed up angrily. “I thought the two of you had forgotten me.”
Seeing the full bottle in Chu Siyun’s hand, Qin Shiyue asked, “You didn’t feed it?”
Chu Siyun repeated what she had said just now. “My lamb isn’t obedient.”
Qin Shiyue took the bottle, crouched down, and the lamb followed the nipple over.
Chu Siyun stood behind them, her face full of disbelief.
“This little lamb is treating people differently.”
Qin Shiyue explained, “You have to crouch down. Standing is too tall and will scare it. Come try.”
Chu Siyun obediently crouched down.
Sure enough, it had been her problem.
Chu Xiao was a little queen of support. “Mama is amazing!”
Chu Siyun smiled without smiling. “Hahaha.”
After the task was completed, the herder uncle gave them a kite.
There was also a mission card.
“You can arrange the rest of your time yourselves.”
Qin Shiyue sighed. “This much freedom?”
Chu Siyun said, “It’s a family-of-three trip. Everyone being together is just to add highlights. The main focus is still the family of three.”
Qin Shiyue asked, “Where are we going?”
Chu Siyun lifted the kite in her hand. “Let’s just walk around and play with this.”
Chu Xiao nodded happily.
Holding Chu Xiao, Qin Shiyue said, “Then you go fly it. Get it up first.”
Ten minutes later, Chu Xiao finally could not hold back anymore. Leaning beside Qin Shiyue’s ear, she said, “Mommy, how about you go?”
Qin Shiyue replied softly, “Wait a little longer. Your mom looks determined to win right now. If I go over and fight her for it, she’ll beat me up.”
Not far away, Chu Siyun, who was dragging the kite and running, shouted loudly at them, “Don’t rush. It’ll be up right away.”
Qin Shiyue said with a smile, “No rush.”
No rush, my ass. She wanted Chu Siyun to get it flying, then let Chu Xiao play. Chu Xiao had barely ever played with a kite before.
But what happened?
Qin Shiyue had never seen someone like Chu Siyun. She had been flying this one kite for eight hundred years, and it was still on the ground. If it kept scraping like that, it felt like it was going to break.
After yet another failure, Qin Shiyue reached up and covered her own eyes.
Truly unbearable to watch.
Chu Xiao also stopped watching Chu Siyun. She changed the topic. “Mommy, when you fed the lamb just now, you said you fed me like that too. Was I lying on my stomach while you fed me?”
Qin Shiyue said, “When you were very, very small, I held you with one hand and fed you with the other. After you got a little bigger, you could hold the bottle yourself and drink. Just like now, all I need to do is make it for you.”
Chu Xiao said, “Oh, so that’s how it was.”
Qin Shiyue nodded. “That’s right.”
Chu Xiao said, “Thank you, Mommy.”
Qin Shiyue said, “No need to thank me. It’s what I should do.”
Looking at the loving mother and filial daughter scene over there, Chu Siyun was furious.
What kind of broken kite was this? Why would it not fly?
Hmph. She quit. She tossed the kite string onto the ground.
Turning her head and meeting Qin Shiyue’s eyes, Chu Siyun then slunk back and picked up the kite string again.
They were recording a show. She could not mess around.
Her little temper had to be endured. So many people were watching. She could not make a joke of herself.
Chu Siyun brought out her best acting skills, picked up the kite with a smile, and jogged over to her wife and daughter. “You do it.”
Qin Shiyue placed the child on the grass beside them, got up, and took the “broken kite” from Chu Siyun’s hands.
Chu Siyun and Chu Xiao sat side by side on the grass and watched Qin Shiyue.
Chu Xiao comforted her, “Mama, it’s okay.”
Chu Siyun smiled. “Mm, it’s fine.”
For some reason, even though Mama was clearly smiling, Chu Xiao felt there was something a little dangerous about it. She should just watch Mommy fly the kite instead.
Qin Shiyue ran a short distance, and the kite successfully rose into the sky.
As she released more string, she adjusted it.
The kite flew higher and higher.
Chu Xiao shouted happily, “Wow, Mommy is amazing!”
Chu Siyun suggested, “Should we go closer and take a look?”
Chu Xiao said, “Okay, okay.”
Qin Shiyue successfully let out all the kite string.
The kite was carried by the wind and flew very steadily in the sky.
Qin Shiyue turned her head and asked, “Want to try?”
Chu Siyun thought she was asking the child and did not answer.
Qin Shiyue turned around and, without even looking at Chu Xiao, directly placed the kite string in Chu Siyun’s hand. “Try.”
Chu Siyun instinctively tightened her grip on the thing in her hand.
Qin Shiyue’s voice sounded beside her ear. “It’s very simple. Move it up and down a little.”
Chu Siyun did as she said.
Qin Shiyue said, “The wind is very strong. Once it’s flying, it’s easy afterward.”
A few minutes later, Chu Siyun had enjoyed herself enough and bent down to give the kite string to her daughter, who had long been unable to wait.
Chu Xiao held the kite string, lifting her head high to look at the kite.
Qin Shiyue reminded her, “Be careful. Don’t fall.”
Chu Xiao held the string and played in front.
Qin Shiyue and Chu Siyun stood side by side not far behind her, watching.
This scene looked very beautiful, so the camera teacher released a drone to film it.
Chu Siyun asked softly, “Why did you give it to me first?”
Qin Shiyue’s tone was casual. “Coaxing you. Didn’t I say your heart is only a tiny bit big? I was afraid you’d cry later.”
Chu Siyun complained, “Nothing decent ever comes out of your mouth.”
Qin Shiyue smiled and was just about to say something when someone quickly kissed her on the face.
She turned and looked at that person teasingly.
Clearly, Chu Siyun was the one teasing her, yet she was the first to feel embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly and said, “Thank you.”
Qin Shiyue stepped forward. “Let’s go.”
Chu Xiao had already run far ahead by herself, holding the kite string.
Chu Siyun quickly followed.
Chu Xiao played to her heart’s content. Only when she was so tired she could not walk anymore did she call for Qin Shiyue to reel in the string.
In the end, Qin Shiyue held the child, Chu Siyun carried the kite, and the family of three returned to the “base.”
At dinner, the group sat in a circle inside a local house.
People wearing local clothing came in singing and dancing.
How had Chu Xiao ever seen such a scene before? She exclaimed, “Wow, so pretty.”
After they finished performing, Fan Yongkang, the host, began to play his role.
He introduced the history of this ethnic group to the children and their parents, then explained the origin of the dance just now.
Fan Yongkang truly had a way with words. He told the historical story vividly and engagingly, and all the children became absorbed in listening.
When they returned to the room, Chu Xiao was so tired she had fallen asleep.
Qin Shiyue held her and walked together with Chu Siyun.
Before long, Xiang Siyu caught up to them.
Chu Siyun guarded against her. “What are you doing? Don’t even think about tricking me.”
Xiang Siyu clicked her tongue. “Teacher Chu, is that really my image in your eyes? I’m not that bad.”
Chu Siyun narrowed her eyes and looked at her.
After a while, she sincerely said, “You are. You really are. I will never believe anything you say again.”
Seeing how the two looked as if they were about to start arguing, Qin Shiyue asked, “Do you need something from us?”
Xiang Siyu said with a hint of embarrassment, “It’s like this. Our room doesn’t have a private bathroom, so I wanted to bring Youyou and borrow yours. Is that okay?”
Qin Shiyue agreed readily. “Of course.”
Xiang Siyu smiled and patted Qin Shiyue’s shoulder. “Straightforward person. We went wrestling today and are covered in mud.”
The few of them continued walking forward. Chu Siyun deliberately separated Xiang Siyu and Qin Shiyue.
There were differences between alpha and omega. This person Xiang Siyu had no sense of boundaries.
Qin Shiyue asked, “Then what about your husband?”
Xiang Siyu said with a smile, “He’s a male alpha, so it definitely wouldn’t be convenient for him to borrow yours. I told him to go to Chenmin’s place. Their family is all men, so it’s more suitable.”
Qin Shiyue nodded. “That’s fine. Just bring the child over directly. I’ll give Chu Xiao a quick wash first. She’s sleepy.”
Xiang Siyu said, “Okay.”
When they returned to the room, Qin Shiyue took the child to bathe while Chu Siyun activated detective mode and covered all the cameras in the room.
A dozen minutes later, Qin Shiyue came out in pajamas, holding the drowsy Chu Xiao.
Chu Siyun was surprised. “You washed too!”
Qin Shiyue said, “Mm. My clothes got wet, so I might as well wash too.”
Chu Siyun said, “Then I’ll wait a bit. Xiang Siyu will probably be here soon.”
Qin Shiyue tucked Chu Xiao in, then walked to Chu Siyun’s side and pointed at her own neck. “It still hasn’t faded. Chu Siyun, this is evidence of your pettiness.”
Chu Siyun: ???
“Can you stop saying that word? I’m very magnanimous.”
Qin Shiyue gave a “heh.” “Right. Magnanimous. So magnanimous that you chewed me up like this to fight for your mother’s affection.”
Chu Siyun froze for a moment. What Qin Shiyue said seemed… right.
No, what part of it was right? Complete nonsense. Chu Siyun was unreasonable. “Anyway, you’re not allowed to say that word again.”
Qin Shiyue nodded. “Fine.”
Immediately afterward, she took out her phone, opened WeChat, and right in front of Chu Siyun, changed Chu Siyun’s contact remark to “Petty.”
Not to be outdone, Chu Siyun changed Qin Shiyue’s to “Grudge Spirit.”
Just as the two of them were preparing to continue their battle, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Siyun gave a “hmph” and went to open the door.
The instant the door opened, Qin Shiyue realized something and shrank her neck, hiding behind Chu Siyun.
Chu Siyun took the mother and daughter to the bathroom. When she came out and saw Qin Shiyue gripping her own neck, she asked, “What are you trying to do? Kill yourself?”
Qin Shiyue’s face filled with black lines. “Today, she looked at the Band-Aids on my neck several times. I can’t let her see. She’ll laugh at me.”
Chu Siyun said, “You’re afraid of being laughed at?”
Qin Shiyue released her hand. This posture was too uncomfortable.
“Of course. An alpha will never submit.”
Chu Siyun clapped for her. “How nice. A female alpha who stays strong her whole life.”
Qin Shiyue crawled under the blanket and hugged Chu Xiao to hide.
Originally, she had thought Chu Siyun was scary enough. She had not expected Xiang Siyu to be even scarier.
Were all omegas like this?
After a while, Xiang Siyu came out of the bathroom with Xiang Leyou.
Out of courtesy, Chu Siyun saw them off.
Before leaving, Xiang Siyu stuck her head in and said to Qin Shiyue on the bed, “Stop hiding. I saw everything. How are you, an alpha, so shy? You already have a child, yet why are you still like an untouched young maiden?”
The door closed, and Chu Siyun laughed so hard she could not stop.
Qin Shiyue snapped at her, “What the hell are you laughing at?”
Chu Siyun took her clothes and walked toward the bathroom. Before entering, she said, “Untouched young maiden.”
Qin Shiyue wanted to roll her eyes again.
Such a simple skill. Why didn’t she know how?
Just because she did not know how to roll her eyes, how many eye rolls would Chu Siyun miss out on receiving in this life?
What a pity.
