It’s unclear if Song Qing has noticed that Ye Qiu is being cold towards Fang Bingwen lately, but she has been much more well-behaved recently, genuinely focusing on taking care of their child.

However, even when it comes to her own son, it’s not always easy, especially since she has been absent for over two years. Not to mention, that even before she divorced Fang Bingwen, she didn’t really look after the child much, which makes things even more overwhelming.

All kids are lively, especially six or seven-year-olds who are even more mischievous. Even though Fang Xu is mature for his age, he’s still just as spirited and active.

Song Qing not only has to prepare meals three times a day for her kid, but also play with him and take him to school. During the day, it’s better since school takes care of things, but what about evenings and holidays?

She’s never cooked before, so both mother and child rely on takeout for meals. Fang Xu, accustomed to Ye Qiu’s feeding habits, has become picky and refuses to eat food that isn’t tasty or meticulously prepared.

For the first day or two with his biological mom, Song Qing, things were fine, but after too much takeout, he started to get tired of it. However, he’s very well-behaved with Song Qing and simply doesn’t eat what he dislikes. If he’s hungry, he just eats some fruits or snacks.

Coincidentally, Song Qing isn’t fond of these foods either. She usually eats little and mistakenly thinks that’s enough for a growing boy, not considering improving their lifestyle.

Additionally, Fang Xu has a lot of extracurricular classes. One minute she has to take him here, the next there. After a few times, she becomes impatient and simply asks for leave, saying the child is sick.

With no one to restrict him, Fang Xu slowly becomes addicted to games. Even if he stays up late at night, Song Qing doesn’t intervene and instead feels that Ye Qiu’s previous heavy schedule stifled her son’s natural tendencies.

She keeps thinking that both she and Fang Bingwen are intelligent, didn’t they also manage without extracurricular classes before? They also succeeded without them, right?

But she doesn’t consider why, if she felt Ye Qiu was overzealous, did she previously find Mr. Li to restore piano lessons?

Hence, some things aren’t truly exhausting until you experience them yourself. Regaining classes easily dropped due to convenience later is not that simple!

And Fang Bingwen is still unaware of how significantly his son has regressed under Song Qing’s management in such a short time. However, even if he knew, he’d probably remain lenient towards Song Qing and refrain from harsh words, right?

News of Fang Bingwen cheating with his ex-wife slowly brewed, followed by revelations concerning Song Qing.

Years ago, one was the campus heartthrob, the other the flower. Even when online communication wasn’t as developed as today, their stories left a mark.

Looking at their photos, radiant with joyful smiles, witnessing their attractiveness, everyone would call them a divine couple.

Witnesses claimed their campus romance was sensational and their elopement from campus for marriage created a celebrated tale, though the woman insisted on divorce later, causing widespread shock and leaving Fang Bingwen dejected for a time.

Until they heard Song Qing married a foreign rich man, while simultaneously Fang Bingwen accepted Ye Qiu’s proposal.

"I have a bold guess!" A fan commented with a prominent angry face emoji.

"Me too."

"Could he have agreed to the streamer’s proposal just out of spite after hearing the ex-wife remarried?"

This comment garnered numerous likes.

"Then why did the ex-wife return from abroad?"

"Heard the foreign gentleman went bankrupt."

"If I’m not mistaken, the ex-wife is just a woman who favors wealth over poverty. Now seeing her ex-husband doing well, climbing the ladder with a wealthy woman, she’s regretting it?"

This comment quickly surpassed the previous one in likes simply because it made sense!

Nowadays, netizens have pretty firm values. Despite some being envious of the wealthy, seeing someone like Ye Qiu, foolish yet generous, prompts both admiration and sighs.

Perhaps out of a protective instinct, the tale spreads widely, causing Ye Qiu’s fanbase on streaming platforms to grow, eager to witness her lavish gestures like sending baby gifts and makeup daily.

Gradually, Ye Qiu’s eldest sister and Second Brother became aware of the situation, furious realizing outsiders knew more than them!

"Why didn’t you tell us this?" Second Brother Ye was nearly exploding with anger, "They’re ganging up with the ex-wife and son to bully you and you’re enduring it?"

And elder sister Ye Tan wasn’t gentle either, poking Ye Qiu’s forehead: "What to call you? Foolish since childhood, and even dumber after marrying."

"Where is he now? Watch me beat him up." Second Brother Ye clenched his fist. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Second Sister-in-law Fan Ning, worried about his impulse, quickly held him back: "Calm down, listen to what little sister has to say."

Ye Tan’s brows furrowed: "You’re not still thinking of protecting him, are you? Divorce is a must."

Ye Qiu lowered her head silently, ultimately admitting under her family’s disappointed gaze: "I want to give him one more chance."

"You..." Ye Tan and Ye Sheng were speechless, so frustrated their faces turned blue.

They didn’t know but Ye Qiu knew Fang Bingwen was standing outside the door, and she was purposely doing this. Knowing his guilt and gratitude would make him regret even more after the divorce.

Daily life’s pressures and gossip seem trivial in comparison, she wanted to strike him psychologically.

Having accustomed him to her deep care and affection, when he had insufficient finances, could he still live lovingly with Song Qing?

Afterwards, Ye Qiu noticed Fang Bingwen became even more attentive and gentle towards her, starting to inquire about her preferences, no longer arrogantly aloof.

However, he also began exposing his previous plans to Ye Qiu, mentioning work difficulties and frustrations about not having a lab and equipment.

But Ye Qiu portrayed herself as consistently naive, deliberately acting as if she didn’t grasp his implication.

Resentful of showing face, he avoided direct words, but Song Qing couldn’t wait. Her prior hint wasn’t false, if overseas research succeeds first, Fang Bingwen will find future opportunities exceedingly challenging.

"How did it go? Did she agree?"

Seeing her eager impatience, Fang Bingwen suddenly felt an irritation, suspecting she cared more than he did.

Moreover, noticing his son Xiao Xu engrossed in gaming and neglecting studies, he felt increasingly frustrated.

"Xiao Xu, why did the teacher tell me you’ve been distracted in class recently?" Unable to contain himself, he scolded the child.

Fang Xu looked at Song Qing with grievances, Song Qing wasn’t pleased either, wondering why he thought she hadn’t taught the child well?

"Don’t be too harsh, foreign education systems are so advanced, yet they don’t press kids like this. Constant studying leaves no time to nurture his thinking."

Facing her rebuttal, Fang Bingwen was left speechless, becoming more anxious.
