Chapter 143: The Children Made A Decision 3
“Mother’s so bad, how can we not cry?” Dabao punched Qi Qingyao’s chest with his tiny fists as he cried. “You’re so bad! Mother’s so bad! You lied to us! You’re so bad! Bad!”
He looked pitiful with his teary eyes.
Qi Qingyao could not help but laugh. “Yes, yes, I’m bad.”
After a while, the two kids looked up from where they were settled in Qi Qingyao’s lap.
“Are you finally finished?” Qi Qingyao asked, holding back her laughter.
“No,” Erniu pouted and said in a huff, wiping her tears.
Seeing that the kids were intent on staying angry with her, Qi Qingyao stopped comforting them.
She set Dabao and Erniu on the seats beside her and stopped smiling.
“You were crying so badly. Well, I d.a.m.n well want to cry too. Who can I cry to though?” She calmly looked at the three kids one by one and sneered derisively, “Kids, your mother is already dead. I’m a soul with the same name that is now inhabiting her body. Simply speaking, I’ve reincarnated in her body.”
“…” The kids felt themselves stop breathing.
Qi Qingyao raised her brow and said, with an insincere smile on her face, “You’ve done well this time. You managed to stay calm after listening to me!”
The children dared not speak even a single word.
They listened to Qi Qingyao, who started to tell her story.
“Theoretically, on the day we were abandoned in that dilapidated temple, the four of us, or the four of you rather, should have frozen to death. Qi Qingyao died on that day.”
“If I had not reincarnated, the four of you would not have survived for so long.”
“As fate would have it though, I did. G.o.d gave me another chance at life and also gave you hope so that you could continue living.”
The three children could not help themselves from…
“You wanna cry again?” Qi Qingyao asked casually. “I’m the one who should cry! I transmigrated here and was immediately saddled with three children! How unlucky I am! The direct consequence of the existence of you three little burdens in my life is that I cannot marry in the future. I’m also guilty of committing the crime of giving birth before marriage!”
The children: “…”
Qi Qingyao pointed at the window and suggested kindly, “If you want to jump off the carriage and follow your mother, do it. Remember to jump headfirst. Your head will shatter into pieces and you’ll die immediately.”
The children took a deep breath.
Qi Qingyao shrugged, as if she meant what she was saying, “Without you little burdens, I can live a peaceful life and nothing will hold me back.”
Dabao and Erniu were so shocked that they stopped breathing.
Only Xiaobao dived into her lap immediately. He scolded her severely, “You’re so bad! You bullied us! You bullied me!”
The kid was finally at his limit. Qi Qingyao ruffled his hair, feigning indifference, “I’m not bullying you. I’m just telling the truth! I thought it would be a good idea after looking at your crying faces.”
Xiaobao said angrily and with resentment, “You’re so bad. You could’ve lied to us. You’re my mother as far as I’m concerned.”
“I could, but I didn’t want to. Especially when you’ve seen through a lot of things. It is meaningless for me to lie.” Qi Qingyao pushed Xiaobao’s chin up with her index finger, telling him to raise his head. When their eyes met, Qi Qingyao smiled insincerely. “I think that you wouldn’t want me to lie to you. Am I right?”
Xiaobao bit hard on his lower lip. He rubbed away the tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g in his eyes. His nose twitched and he asked, “Do you still remember her then?”
