Song Qing has let it go?

She has let it go because she places her own interests first, and now that her interests aren’t being threatened, why wouldn’t she let it go?

Ye Qiu can’t let it go because she still "loves" you. The more deeply one loves, the more one cares.

Throughout history, the one who is loved always has nothing to fear, while the one who loves deeply often gets terribly hurt. Fang Bingwen has always relied on Ye Qiu’s love to be indifferent to her feelings, hasn’t he?

Perhaps only when he loses everything will he regret it!

"Auntie, you’ve looked at the door five times. Are you waiting for Uncle?" The young Dong Bo sighed heavily, "Did you and Uncle have a fight?"

"Kids shouldn’t worry about these things. Why are you here today? Isn’t today Wednesday? Don’t you have class?"

"Don’t mention it. My grandma’s relatives are causing trouble again. My mom is afraid they’ll come to school, so she gave me the day off. I was supposed to go to my uncle’s, but he’s on a business trip, and Auntie went to a competition with Cancan, so I can only come here." Dong Bo spread his hands helplessly.

Hearing him mention the relatives from Grandma Dong’s side, Ye Qiu empathized and pursed her lips: "Then just stay here these days and relax."

"Aren’t you going back to A University?"

"No." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Dong Bo became serious: "Did you really have a falling out? Auntie, what exactly happened?"

"Nothing happened."

"You’re lying." Dong Bo stared into her eyes, "If you don’t tell me, I’ll tell my mom and uncle."

"You’re tattling now?" Ye Qiu glared at him, but it did the trick. She surrendered with raised hands, "Okay, okay, I admit that your uncle and I are having some issues. Please don’t tell your mom and uncle, or it’ll cause more trouble."

"What is it about, then?"

"You little brat have so many questions." Ye Qiu glared at him, her tone softened, "It’s nothing major, just your uncle’s ex-wife came back."

Dong Bo stood up abruptly: "Are they rekindling old feelings?"

"Of course not! Do you think your aunt is someone easily bullied like that?"

"Yes." Dong Bo nodded without hesitation.

"Oh dear, it’s hard to talk about feelings with a child. They haven’t rekindled anything, it’s just that I feel uncomfortable, so I want to ignore your uncle for a few days, hoping he’ll come and comfort me himself."

Hearing this, Dong Bo believed it because he always saw his aunt as someone who values love above all else.

"As long as you know what you’re doing, don’t let people bully you without telling someone." Dong Bo snorted.

"You little rascal, what do you want to eat tonight? Since your mom and uncle aren’t here, let’s go eat something good?" Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up, and she whispered.

But Mrs. Liu heard and said jealously: "What, isn’t my cooking good?"

"Oh dear, Mrs. Liu, I never said your cooking isn’t good. I’m just worried you’ll get tired, so let’s eat out, okay?" Ye Qiu clung to Mrs. Liu’s arm, acting coquettishly.

"You sweet talker, go eat out. I won’t go because the doctor said I shouldn’t eat greasy food at night. I’ve already made porridge, so you two head out early and come back early, don’t get delayed outside."

"Thank you, Mrs. Liu." After saying this, Ye Qiu dashed out happily like a freed bird, with an old and a young figure looking at her with affectionate eyes behind her.

After discussing for a long time, the two finally decided to have barbecue, but as soon as they sat down, Ye Qiu stopped in her tracks. She really didn’t expect to run into Song Qing here. Looking at Fang Xu’s happy face, it was clear that no matter how much she as a stepmother did, it could never compare to a meal with his biological mother.

Following her gaze, Dong Bo frowned: "Isn’t that Cousin Fang Xu? Is that his biological mother?"

"Yes, ignore them, let’s just eat."

"Oh." Dong Bo was a well-behaved child, and besides, he never really liked this cousin Fang Xu.

What can you say about this cousin? No matter how much kindness Dong Bo showed, this cousin would always distance himself, acting as if Dong Bo and Cancan bullied him, or perhaps as if being close to them would taint him, like being friends with them polluted him or something. Just a few years old, where did he get such deep thoughts?

It’s not like Dong Bo didn’t have other things to do or needed something from him, so why should he face coldness with warmth? If not for his aunt, he wouldn’t bother speaking nicely about him in front of the teachers.

At such a young age, with such an unpleasant personality, weren’t the teachers only teaching Fang Xu because of the Ye and Dong Families? Why else would they teach him? Even Dong Bo and Cancan showed respect to the teachers, but Fang Xu acted like an imperial tutor teaching a Crown Prince. No matter how gifted, did he think his current academic progress relied solely on his talent? His talent wasn’t so remarkable as to bring glory to the country. Did he truly think himself so great!

Dong Bo considered himself to have a pretty good temper, but he just couldn’t like his uncle’s father and son. Previously, his mom and uncle said his aunt couldn’t rely on this father and son in the future and urged her to have a child while she was young.

If you ask him, even if the father and son turned ungrateful, there would still be him and Cancan. He also hoped his aunt would get a divorce. Is love really that important?

Ye Qiu initially wanted to eat quietly and leave quietly, but unexpectedly, Song Qing still noticed her.

"Miss Ye?" Song Qing called out with a happy face.

"Miss Song." Ye Qiu nodded coldly.

As if not noticing, Song Qing pulled Fang Xu and said: "Hurry and greet them."

Fang Xu reluctantly looked at Ye Qiu and said: "Auntie, Cousin Bo."

"So, this is Miss Ye’s nephew. No wonder he’s so dignified, a product of a wealthy family. I wonder when Xiao Xu will grow up like this."

"As long as Auntie teaches well, I’m sure he will," Dong Bo wiped his mouth and said, "You must be Aunt Song. Xiao Xu often mentions you with my mom. I’m sure if Aunt Song teaches him well, Xiao Xu will achieve great things. After all, he listens to everything you say."

"He’s still young, immature in thought. Now that he’s older, it’s better for a professional teacher to teach him." Song Qing assumed Ye Qiu had shared everything with her family, feeling a bit awkward.

"Of course not! I heard Aunt Song is also a graduate from a prestigious university, definitely with unique teaching methods." Dong Bo smiled, polite yet flattering.

Sure enough, Fang Xu couldn’t help but lift his chin: "Of course, my mom is the best."

"Then that’s great. Mr. Li mentioned that you’ve been struggling with your studies lately and suggested taking a break. How about letting Aunt Song teach you personally for a while?"
