Title: The Jilted Male Lead Hires a Mother for the Cute Shapeshifters
Translator: Fringe Manatee
Chapter 37 - My Daddy and Mommy Had Been Married For Twenty Years! (1)
Oh darn. An enemy was about to be made.
That was the first thought that came to Ye Qing.
Lin Xu in the book was a very free-willed woman.
She was very proactive toward men that interested her. She’d create all sorts of coincidences and flirt with them subtly and not-so-subtly.
But she’d also get bored a few days after she had won the men over and would dump them.
Then, it would be followed by the plotline of abusing the male lead.
All in all, this entire book was about the female lead flirting with and bedding all sorts of men.
Towards the end, there were all sorts of outstanding male supporting characters, all sorts of bloodbaths, and all sorts of faceslapping of the male lead.
Ye Qing couldn’t help but kindly lit a candle for her current boss in her mind.
Such a pretty face. Towards the end of the novel, he’d be down on his knees groveling for the female lead to stay. His tears would streamed down from his art-like face. What a beautiful picture that would be?
Ye Qing smiled a little at Chen Qinyan, who was currently showing no emotions on his face, before she looked away and walked toward little kiddo Chen Mian.
She looked down and asked in a tender voice, “MeowMeow, what is going on?”
Little kiddo Chen Mian looked at her mother and gave her a big smile.
She picked up her mother’s hand. Then, looking up at the aunty with her fiery red lipstick, she stressed in the most serious tone, “Aunty, this is my mommy and both daddy and I love her a lot.”
Ye Qing, “……”
She turned her head and gave the man standing behind her a look and lifted her brows.
Did you hear what your daughter had just said? Care to elaborate on that?
Chen Qinyan casted a glance at Ye Qing, took a sip of his red wine, and didn’t say a word.
Wow, such paternal love.
Sighed Ye Qing to herself and understood her boss’s meaning.
She turned back with a hint of shyness. Subtly acknowledging what Chen Xiao Mian had just said by not commenting on that, she gave Lin Xu a slight smile, “Hi, Miss Lin. I like your shows a lot and watch them every day.”
Lin Xu feigned a smile and said, “Why, thank you.”
She hated dealing with women like the one standing before her right now.
She looked delicate and kind and all day long pretended to be fragile and understanding, but deep down inside, they were all manipulative white lotuses.
From her years of experience of being in entertainment, she could say with confidence that this was no simple woman.
Lin Xu’s lips curved and she asked, “I have never heard that Boss Chen has been married before. Say, when did you two get married?”
All the bystanders chimed in and sided with her.
When Chen Qinyan brought his little daughter to a banquet a while back, everybody was surprised.
But then again, they figured he was a man. He probably planted his seeds somewhere at some point and three years later he found his child and brought her home. That made sense.
But now, there was also a woman?
Was this the official Mrs. Chen or an unofficial lover?
There was a big difference between the two.
The question was directed toward both Chen Qinyan and Ye Qing, but neither one of them had the intention to respond to it.
Chen Qinyan wanted to see what this heartless woman would say and Ye Qing wanted Pretty Face Chen to address it himself. The female lead was after him; she wasn’t going to touch it with a 10-foot pole. So, she just looked on and continued to smile tenderly.
Only little kiddo Chen Mian was very bothered by it.
That was because she felt threatened. She could sense that this aunty has bad intentions toward her dad!
No way!
Daddy belongs to mommy! Nobody else was allowed to lay a finger on him!
She bit her lips and subconsciously started counting her with fingers.
How old was her brother now?
He was around 20 or so, which meant that daddy and mommy had been married for –
Little kiddo Chen Mian suddenly blurted out, “Twenty years! My daddy and mommy have been married for 20 years ago!”
As soon as the words left her mouth, there was an eerie silence around them.
A second later, everybody busted out laughing.
