Chapter 21: A Strange WomanTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Qianming solemnly glanced at Chi Yaoxi through the rearview mirror. She was wearing a long white dress with dark flowers on it and a pure white coat on the outside. She even had a smile on her face. It seemed like she was in a good mood.

Chi Yaoxi saw the man sitting in front of her without saying anything or driving. His icy face looked even colder than usual.

Chi Yaoxi felt that something was amiss. She was even more nervous and cold than usual. The man kept silent and Chi Yaoxi did not know what to say. The atmosphere was almost frozen.

What was going on? Did the man have something against her??Chi Yaoxi was a little confused this early in the morning. She adjusted her posture and leaned forward slightly. Her voice was not loud as she carefully reminded, "Let's go. It will take about half an hour to reach the kindergarten. Don't be late."

Before she could finish speaking, the car suddenly started. The force of inertia caused Chi Yue to sway violently and lean against the backseat. She was so frightened that she could not help but scream.

The man was focused on driving and did not turn back or make a sound. There was no music in the car and the atmosphere was awkward and depressing.

Chi Yaoxi felt that something was wrong with this man. He was usually very calm and steady. She didn't know what went wrong, but he had such a huge emotion.

When the car arrived at the kindergarten, the time was just right. Chi Yaoxi had just gotten out of the car when she saw a pair of chubby short legs running towards her.

"Mommy, mommy!"

A smile instantly spread across Chi Yaoxi's face. She bent down and directly embraced the little guy.

The little guy lay in Chi Yaoxi's arms in a soft and cuddly manner. His furry little head rubbed against her neck and acted coquettishly. "Mommy, I miss you so much."

"Yes, Chenchen, be good. Didn't we go shopping together yesterday?" Chi Yaoxi kissed the little fellow on the forehead and looked at him lovingly, her face full of motherly warmth.

Upon hearing this, the little fellow pouted and said unhappily, "It's just a walk. What's so fun about it? I don't care. I want Mommy to stay at home and tell me stories and sleep with me."

Stay at home with him??Chi Yaoxi thought of the villa she had stayed at after getting drunk, but... Chi Yaoxi looked at the gloomy man beside her and quickly dismissed this idea. "Chenchen, Mommy is still very busy with work right now. I took a leave of absence from work today and the film crew are all staying in the hotel. Let's talk about this after I'm done with work, alright?"

When the little guy heard that his mommy did not want to accompany him, he became anxious. His chubby little hands hugged Chi Yaoxi's neck tightly and continued, "No, no. Mommy, if I win the award for this competition, can you come home and stay with me for a few days? Hurry up and promise me."

Looking at the little guy pouting and blinking his big eyes pitifully, waiting for her to make a decision, Chi Yaoxi could not bear to reject him again and again. In order to encourage the little guy to perform seriously, she nodded and agreed.

Li Qianming didn't say anything the whole time. His face remained cold and sullen, as if she owed him something.

Chi Yaoxi could not stand it anymore. This was the little guy's kindergarten. It was the anniversary celebration performance today, and so many teachers, parents, and children were there. It would not be good if it affected them.
