Chapter 808 A Slight Resemblance
Bai Yeqi was not happy to hear what Bai Yunan said. He roared, "Are you saying that divorcees can't live a peaceful life? I have also been divorced!"
"It's not the same situation, is it?" Bai Yunan was already tired and didn't want to say anything more.
Besides, he was leaving tomorrow morning to carry out a mission at the border. He didn't have the time or the inclination to talk to Bai Yeqi in detail.
"I'm leaving tomorrow to carry out a mission, I don't have time to talk now. You're not a child; you know what kind of woman you want, so there's no need to ask me again. I'll thank you for Qingyou's matter when I come back. That's it for now."
After Bai Yunan finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry. He was pressed for time. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Bai Yeqi, on the other hand, couldn't fall asleep for half the night.
...
The next day.
Su Yige was already in the kitchen making breakfast when Lu Qingyou woke up.
Beside her was a baby carriage where Su Yang soundly slept, looking particularly cute. This made Lu Qingyou feel a bit envious.
Lu Qingyou stood next to the stroller, curiously watching Su Yang when she reached out to touch him. However, she quickly retracted her hand as if afraid of hurting him.
Su Yige turned her head and saw the cautious look on her face. She gently smiled and reassured Lu Qingyou, "It's okay. You can touch him. He is a deep sleeper. He doesn't wake up easily."
"Really?"
Fascinated, Lu Qingyou reached out to touch him.
The child looked adorable and fun to play with.
After staring at Su Yang for a while, Lu Qingyou walked over to Su Yige, "Sister-in-law, did you wake up early to prepare breakfast? It must be hard for you to take care of the child and cook."
The term "sister-in-law" sounded a bit harsh to Su Yige's ears. She lowered her head to stir the porridge in the pot and replied in a soft voice, "It's nothing. I have nothing else to do anyway."
Her initial plan was to settle down here, find a good house, then find a satisfactory job before she hired a suitable nanny. She would then bring Su Yang back.
But Bai Yeqi's actions interrupted her plans.
Now she had to take care of Su Yang here with a part-time cleaner who came during the day. Bai Yeqi was generous enough to give her a card, allowing her to go out and have fun whenever she wanted.
However, she was someone who had had her fair share of branded goods.
Now, she didn't care about those things at all. She basically didn't go out.
She even thought about running away. If she ran to Yunzhou City to find Su Ziyue, Su Ziyue would definitely take care of her. Only Su Ziyue could handle her.
But when she calmed down, she gave up on this idea.
She knew she shouldn't disturb Su Ziyue who was living a good life. Besides, her original intention of coming to Jingcheng City was to start over in a new city.
Lu Qingyou noticed that Su Yige seemed unenthusiastic and looked at the oatmeal in the pot. She mentioned enthusiastically, "It looks great! I love oatmeal the most."
"I'm glad."
There was nothing wrong with Su Yige's answer, but it made it difficult for Lu Qingyou to continue the conversation.
Lu Qingyou had a feeling that something was going on between Su Yige and Bai Yeqi.
It made sense when she thought about it. For a one-year-old child to appear out of nowhere... Furthermore, the child's father had just gotten divorced not long ago, and the child's mother was acting all strange.
It was too complicated.
Not long after, Bai Yeqi also came downstairs.
The three of them sat at the dining table and had breakfast. Lu Qingyou noticed that these two people didn't speak to each other. As a guest, she didn't have much to say, so she just ate her meal.
She thought that Su Yige looked impressive when the latter was cooking in the kitchen, but now that she was tasting the oatmeal Su Yige prepared, she found it quite average. Still, it's better than what I cook.
After breakfast, Bai Yeqi went to work at the company.
Since Lu Qingyou had nowhere to go, she continued to stay here.
She went back to her room and messaged An Xia.
'An Xia, do you know a woman named Su Yige?'
An Xia must have been busy with something as she didn't reply for a long time.
Noticing this, Lu Qingyou went to check her WeChat Moments and saw that An Xia had posted a photo of her shopping with Su Ziyue yesterday.
She clicked on the photo and looked at it for a moment before slapping her thigh. She finally understood why she kept feeling like she had seen Su Yige somewhere before.
It was because Su Yige and Su Ziyue's eyes looked similar.
The two of them clearly had different appearances and temperaments, but there was a slight resemblance.
And they both had the surname Su.
The surname Su was rare in Jingcheng City and was more common in the south.
As Su Ziyue and the others had left for a while, Lu Qingyou didn't connect the dots until now. She finally understood what was going on.
While she was browsing WeChat Moments, An Xia replied to her message.
'I know her. Why do you ask?'
Lu Qingyou hadn't known An Xia for long, but they got along well.
She hesitated whether to tell An Xia about Su Yige and Bai Yeqi's situation, but in the end, she compromised and asked her, 'What's her relationship with Su Ziyue?'
'They are cousins. You haven't told me what's going on yet.' An Xia's interest was piqued.
'It's nothing. I was just asking. I don't have a signal now, so let's leave it at that.'
Her excuse for leaving was so old-fashioned that An Xia only replied with a string of ellipses.
Women, especially someone like Su Yige who has turned over a new leaf, were naturally curious.
An Xia thought for a while and felt that Lu Qingyou wouldn't ask her about Su Yige for no reason.
In the afternoon, she went to Su Ziyue's house to chat with her as she had nothing to do.
Su Ziyue's belly was getting bigger, making it more difficult for her to move around. Eventually, she became too lazy to go out as often.
The pregnancy symptoms were not very obvious on her; she only gained a little weight while her skin condition became better.
When An Xia arrived, she saw Su Ziyue languidly leaning against the window, keeping Qin Zixi who was painting company.
While Qin Zixi had a talent for painting, Su Ziyue was not very good at it.
As Qin Zixi drew small animals based on pictures, Su Ziyue was coloring in a coloring book.
An Xia couldn't help but make fun of her. "How are you worse than a child?"
Su Ziyue helplessly shrugged. "He inherited his father's talent for painting. Nothing I can do about that."
"Do you want to send him to an art class?" An Xia was curious about parenting now. After all, she and Bai Jingshu were preparing to have a child.
"I probably will if he wants to." When a thought suddenly came to mind, Su Ziyue whispered in An Xia's ear, "He can use this skill to flirt with the ladies in the future."
An Xia burst into laughter and touched her belly. "My child is listening, Mrs. Qin."
The two of them continued to chat for a while before An Xia mentioned to her, "Qingyou suddenly messaged me before to ask about Su Yige. I asked her what was going on, but she wouldn't answer me."
Su Ziyue thought for a moment before remembering who Qingyou was.
Even though not as much as Su Ziyue, An Xia knew a little bit about Su Yige's past.
Lu Qingyou had a good relationship with the Bai family. When An Xia was kidnapped, Su Yige saved her without revealing herself. There was only one possible reason why Lu Qingyou was asking about Su Yige now.
