Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Fu Mingxue Feels Her Vision Go Black

Fu Mingxue was dumbfounded when she heard this.

’Huh? I... I have to go to his house, too?’

Qin Wenhao’s eyes narrowed slightly at her expression.

He then asked, his tone devoid of emotion, "What’s wrong? You’re not willing?"

Fu Mingxue stammered, "O-Of course not. I-I was just wondering, am I supposed to go alone?"

"No, I’m going with you." He paused for a moment before adding, "And not just us. Our two children will be there, too."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’What does he mean, *our* two children? Am I supposed to jump into the role of mom this quickly?’

She forced a smile. "—O-Okay, sounds good!"

’Good heavens, this new lease on life is demanding a huge sacrifice.’

’I was supposed to escape raising other people’s children in this life.’

’And now, I’m an instant mom again, just like that.’

’Why can’t I just experience the gut-wrenching pain of giving birth myself for a change?’

Qin Wenhao found his new wife’s expression quite amusing.

Her reaction was—very strange.

He raised an eyebrow. "Aren’t you going to ask what their names are?"

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’Not interested. No need to know.’

"Ah, I was just about to ask! Our children—what are their names?" she asked, playing her part diligently. "Who’s looking after them right now? Since you’re here, are they alright?"

"They’re twins. The older one, the boy, is named Qin Hao, and his sister is Qin Keke. They’re just over a year old. Their father sacrificed his life in the line of duty three months ago, and their mother remarried two months ago. She didn’t take the twins with her, and the Tong Family grandparents were unable to care for them, so I adopted them."

Hearing this, Fu Mingxue was filled with a profound sense of respect.

Not just for him, but even more so for the twins’ father who had given his life.

They were both admirable people.

She’d always had a natural soft spot for soldiers; it was just that in her previous life, that bastard Song Yan had completely ruined her.

But even so, she still held soldiers in high regard.

"Don’t worry," she said. "I will be good to them."

’Perhaps I raised three ungrateful wretches in my past life.’

’But that doesn’t mean I’ll transfer my hatred for those three onto other children.’

Qin Wenhao simply watched her, his gaze serious.

His gaze was so intense that Fu Mingxue thought he was doubting her.

She immediately raised her hand as if taking an oath. "Don’t worry, I will never be a wicked stepmother. At worst, if I feel I can’t treat them well, I’ll just keep my distance."

’In truth, there wouldn’t be much chance to live together anyway, since she was already planning to divorce him in a year.’

"You don’t have to say that. I believe you. But you should still discipline them when they need it. You’re their mother; you have the right to teach them a lesson when they misbehave."

Fu Mingxue: ...

’So there’s no escaping this ’instant mom’ thing, huh?’

’I was one in my past life, and I’m one again in this life.’

She didn’t want to continue this topic. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"By the way, about Song Yan—"

The moment she brought up business, Qin Wenhao’s expression turned much more serious. "Don’t worry about that. We will conduct a thorough investigation, and we won’t show any bias just because you’re my wife."

"As long as it’s fair." Fu Mingxue wasn’t asking him to take her side.

"Also, you’re leaving tomorrow, right?"

"Yes."

Seeing him nod, Fu Mingxue couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

’Good. It’s better that he’s leaving.’

’His presence made her feel very uncomfortable.’

But apparently, her relief was premature.

"I’ll be back in a few days, before the New Year. We’ll go to Beijing City together then."

When Fu Mingxue heard this, her vision seemed to go dark.

’That’s... That’s really not necessary!’

"What? Do you have other ideas?"

Fu Mingxue wanted to say that she did.

’Namely, that he shouldn’t come back at all.’

But someone else happily beat her to it. "Son-in-law, that’s wonderful! I was just worrying about how she’d get to Beijing City on her own. I’m not at ease with her traveling so far by herself. I’ve heard the trains are crawling with human traffickers!"
