Chapter 283: Chapter 283: If You Dare to Cheat, I’ll Sever Ties Righteously
An hour and a half had passed.
The driver, concerned, entered the library and saw at the cash register a pile of books stacked like a little mountain.
Momo was about to swipe the card.
The driver hurried over, astonished, “Why are you buying so many books?”
Momo said, “To eat them, obviously!”
The driver frowned, “Books are for reading, not for eating.”
Momo rolled his eyes again, “You don’t say!”
The driver felt like he had just asked a stupid question.
Embarrassed, he went over, picked up the books, and walked toward the door.
Han said, “Momo, can you not be so sharp-tongued?”
Momo replied, “When he stops asking me these dumb questions, I’ll stop being sharp-tongued.”
He didn’t like being treated like a child.
But he was often coddled like one.
Over time, it inevitably wore on his patience.
Once home, Lin Qi had already returned from work.
Seeing the driver carrying in a thick stack of books, she was startled, “Why so many books?”
The driver replied, “The young master bought them.”
Momo?
Lin Qi, unable to restrain her curiosity, flipped through a few pages and felt a chill on her scalp.
Momo and Han were just about to advance to the second grade, but Momo had already started preparing Han for sixth grade to junior high school topics.
Talk about advanced education—it was way too advanced!
However, Lin Qi consoled herself with satisfaction, thinking that it seemed Han was also a promising student and not as slow as she had imagined; otherwise, how could he have previewed the sixth-grade materials in such a short time?
Then, suddenly—
She came across some books on pregnancy knowledge.
Lin Qi was utterly flabbergasted.
Upon entering the door and seeing Lin Qi flipping through the books he had bought, Momo immediately approached her and asked, “Mommy, why did you get off work so early today?”
Lin Qi turned around and replied, “Because… I finished my work tasks ahead of schedule, so I just left on time.”
Work today was surprisingly relaxing.
Maeve got drunk and took the day off, so no one bothered her, and her work efficiency was exceptionally high.
Lin Qi picked up a book titled “A Daily Read for Expecting Moms and Preparing Dads” and asked, “Momo, did you buy this book?”
Momo answered, “Yeah.”
Lin Qi asked in astonishment, “Why did you buy this book?”
Momo said, “I’m worried you’ll eat the wrong things if you’re pregnant.”
He took up “The Bible of Diet” and said, “Mommy, look here, there are so many things you can’t eat during pregnancy! You need to be careful about your diet and not just eat anything. Later on, when you go to work, I’ll make you lunchboxes to take to the office; you shouldn’t just eat anything from outside.”
Lin Qi: “…”
Momo was truly taking it to heart for her sake.
Lin Qi said, “Momo, the next time I have the chance, I want to be reincarnated as your daughter, and let you be my dad.”
Momo would definitely make a great dad.
Momo rolled his eyes wordlessly, got choked up, and said, “Then you better make sure to reincarnate properly next time.”
Lin Qi nodded repeatedly.
Momo suddenly threw out a dark-humored remark, “Then in my next life, I might as well go childfree.”
Lin Qi clutched her heart, feeling provoked, “Are you saying you’d despise having me as your daughter?”
Momo closed the book and said with a smile in his eyes, “How could I? I might despise anyone else, but never Mommy.”
Lin Qi retorted, “You do hold that against me! Otherwise, why would you choose to go childfree, if not because you’re afraid of me reincarnating to be your daughter?”
Momo smiled, “Not at all! In the next life, I still want to be your son.”
I haven’t had enough of being a son in this lifetime.
So, for the next life, I still want to be her son, no matter the obstacles, I will come to her side.
Han raised his hand and said, “Mommy, he’s just picking on you, not wanting you as a daughter, unlike me, whether you’re my mommy or if you were my daughter, I will spoil you a lot!”
Momo opened his eyes wide, his gaze shooting toward him like a sharp sword: “You really have a way with words.”
Han often makes sarcastic remarks, always putting him down.
Han shrugged: “Say what you want!”
Momo put down his book, giving orders to Han, “Put all the books back on the shelf, I’m going to cook.”
Saying this, he walked over to Lin Qi, wrapped his arms around her neck, kissed her face, then headed into the kitchen.
Han also went to Lin Qi’s side, hooked her neck, and kissed her face twice before contentedly carrying the books to the small library.
Lili helped Han organize the bookshelf.
Lin Qi walked into the kitchen and saw Momo skillfully picking and washing vegetables. She asked curiously, “Momo, are you really looking forward to the little baby in Mommy’s belly?”
Momo, not even turning his head, replied, “Yeah, looking forward to it.”
Lin Qi said, “Your tone doesn’t sound very excited.”
Momo said earnestly, “As long as it’s not as dumb as Han, it’ll be fine.”
Having another “fool” like Han, he feared he couldn’t handle it.
Lin Qi laughed, unable to hide her surprise, but she also felt warmth in her heart.
Nowadays, having three children is allowed.
But many eldest children don’t want their parents to have more siblings; she didn’t expect Momo to be so accepting.
Lin Qi said, “If we decide to keep this baby, I plan to remarry your Daddy.”
Momo said, “Sure, if we’re remarrying, make Daddy fork out a dowry of 10 billion first.”
While he spoke, he frowned and picked up the cleaver, chopping the ribs with a “clang clang clang.”
Lin Qi watched, her heart racing.
For some reason, she saw Momo as that gloomy, reluctant father-in-law who didn’t want to give away his daughter.
Momo was not exactly thrilled inside.
He thought that with Daddy marrying Mommy, he should be happy, just like Han.
But he always felt if Daddy got Mommy too easily, he might not cherish her, afraid Daddy would let Mommy down.
What if Daddy was unfaithful later?
What if he kept another woman outside?
Mainly because his dad was too handsome, tall, and rich, there would undoubtedly be many women setting their sights on him.
Momo feared that this unreliable Daddy would betray his son’s hopes!
But then he thought, what is there to be afraid of!
If Daddy dared to make Mommy suffer the slightest grievance…
Momo’s face darkened, and he chopped the ribs with even more force.
“Clang clang clang!”
Lin Qi, looking at the frail chopping board, couldn’t help but say, “Momo, don’t get worked up. Do you not want me to remarry your Daddy?”
Momo stopped what he was doing, “It’s not that I don’t want it; it’s just that I accidentally thought of what I would do if he cheated after you remarried.”
Lin Qi: “…”
She glanced at the German precision-engineered kitchen knife Momo was tightly holding, then at the ribs he had chopped into pieces, and fell silent for a moment: “He probably won’t cheat.”
“Probably?” Momo elegantly raised an eyebrow, casually chopping the knife into the chopping board, “Mommy, be more confident, take out the ‘probably’. If he dares to cheat, I’ll be here. I’ll enforce justice even against my own kin.”
Lin Qi: “…”
She was shocked by Momo’s determination.
Momo suddenly thought of something: “Does Daddy know about your pregnancy?”
Lin Qi said, “Not yet.”
