30. Has this thing gotten bigger again?
“Qian Qian?”
“Hmph!”
“Qian Qian~”
“Hmph!”
“Su Ziqian!”
“What do you want!”
Hey, you child…
Neither soft nor hard works. Jiang Zhi looked at her daughter on the sofa, her brows lightly furrowed, teetering on the edge of anger.
“Mommy is a bad mommy!”
“Mommy won’t let Qian Qian see Daddy, so Qian Qian won’t listen to Mommy anymore!”
The little girl sniffled, crossed her arms over her chest, and puffed her cheeks in anger.
“You…”
Jiang Zhi wanted to refute, but she was momentarily speechless; after all, what her daughter said was indeed true.
Ever since Qian Qian saw Su Yan on television yesterday, the little girl has been clamoring for her to take her to find Daddy, and she had, of course, firmly refused.
Find Daddy?
No way.
Not to mention whether Su Yan would believe that Qian Qian is his daughter from the future, just thinking about their marital identity made Jiang Zhi uneasy.
If Su Yan learned the truth, then they would inevitably be entangled.
Though Jiang Zhi was confident in her sexual orientation, who could be sure about the future? What if… what if she really got turned by Su Yan?
So, even though she felt very sorry for Qian Qian, Jiang Zhi still couldn’t let her meet Su Yan.
Sorry, Mommy is a bad mommy…
However, being told this by her daughter made Jiang Zhi feel bad, so she stubbornly replied, “I’m not stopping you from seeing Daddy, it’s just, it’s just…”
“Just what!”
Qian Qian pouted her lips: “Mommy’s mouth is too stubborn, harder than the pancakes at home!”
Jiang Zhi’s mouth twitched.
Why does this sound so familiar? It feels like I’ve heard it somewhere before…but that’s not the point! Is it okay to talk to Mommy like that? Huh?!
Just watch how I deal with you!
Suddenly, Jiang Zhi transformed into a dramatic character, lowered her head, and let her hair fall like vines, making the tiniest, quiet sobs.
At the same time, her shoulders trembled continuously, making it seem like she was really crying.
“Mommy…”
Qian Qian was indeed tricked. After hesitating, she walked over to Jiang Zhi, lifted her hair, wanting to see her expression.
“Mommy, are you crying?”
“Wuwuwu…” Jiang Zhi turned her head away, resembling a little abandoned lady.
“Mommy, don’t cry. Qian Qian was wrong.”
Qian Qian’s six years of life experience seemed like that of a rookie in front of the evil adult Jiang Zhi.
Seeing that Mommy had really cried because of her, the little girl panicked and quickly comforted, “It’s all Qian Qian’s fault. Qian Qian won’t see Daddy anymore, don’t cry.”
“Really?”
“Mhm!”
The little girl nodded crazily; as long as Mommy didn’t cry, she would do anything!
Although she really wanted to see Daddy…
But ever since Mommy cried last time, she hadn’t seen her for a long time, and Daddy also cried for a long time then, she was afraid this time would be the same.
Jiang Zhi didn’t know what her daughter was thinking.
She was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected this tactic to be so effective. If it works, that’s great!
Holding Qian Qian in her arms, Jiang Zhi rubbed the little girl’s face and asked, “Not seeing Daddy?”
“Not seeing…”
Qian Qian felt a bit uncomfortable being rubbed and awkwardly turned her head: “Qian Qian won’t see Daddy. Mommy, please don’t go, okay?”
Actually, what she liked most was having Daddy rub her face; with his stubble, her face tingled, which felt really nice.
Go?
Where to go?
Jiang Zhi was confused by this remark, but she didn’t think too much about it, assuming it was just Qian Qian being afraid of seeing her cry, and decided not to tease her anymore.
To lighten the mood, she changed to a happier topic.
“Tomorrow I’ll take you out. Shall we go shopping with Sister Jiang?”
Jiang Ruyan had asked her out during lunch, and she originally wanted to refuse, but when Sister Jiang said she could bring Qian Qian, she changed her mind again.
There had been too many annoying things recently, and it would be nice to go out and relax.
Of course, Qian Qian agreed⁽⁽ ◟(∗ ˊωˋ ∗)◞ ⁾⁾.
She had been wanting to play with Sister Jiang, but Mommy had said she couldn’t take her to where Sister Jiang worked recently.
That made her sad for quite a while.
After making up her mind, Jiang Zhi began to prepare for tomorrow’s outing.
She actually had a bit of mild obsessive-compulsive disorder and was used to planning everything ahead of time; having everything under control made her feel quite comfortable.
A water bottle just for Qian Qian, wet wipes, and a sun hat…
Jiang Zhi went to the bathroom, looked at the sunscreen on the washstand, hesitated for a moment, but still picked it up and put it into her backpack.
This sunscreen was gifted to her by Lin Shuwan earlier, saying boys should pay attention to sun protection, and then it had sat untouched for a year.
She always felt that it was inappropriate for a big man to be smearing things on his face—she would be laughed at.
But she no longer thought that way.
Don’t ask; the answer is that she’s been gradually tamed by all these things she used to resist.
Moreover, after becoming a girl, she had a whole new perspective on makeup.
Makeup isn’t just for beauty.
Showing a perfected self to others is, in fact, a form of respect for them. If she gets complimented after putting on makeup, she would also feel very happy.
Habits can be quite a frightening thing.
Jiang Zhi had reluctantly put on lip color before, and although she still wasn’t very fond of it now, she didn’t resist as much as she did before.
It’s… quite strange.
Sometimes Jiang Zhi felt like she wasn’t herself anymore, and sometimes she felt that the current her was the way she should be. Every time she thought of this, it gave her a headache.
Headaches, then just don’t think about it.
Of course, she didn’t mind makeup, but letting Jiang Zhi put on makeup before going out was evidently impossible.
On one hand, she wouldn’t know how to do it; it took effort for her to put on lip color after all this time, let alone those looks like “natural makeup” or “goddess makeup”.
On the other hand…
She still really didn’t like the feeling of being watched by passersby.
Jiang Zhi knew how good-looking she was; with makeup on, it would be even more so! If she garnered too much attention from people wanting to chat, refusing them would be very troublesome, okay?
Applying makeup for one’s own admiration is fine.
For others to see?
Not happening!
Perhaps deep down, she still viewed herself as a man, with over twenty years of male thinking and habits deeply rooted, which wouldn’t change just like that?
Not to mention, she didn’t really want to change…
Back to the sunscreen.
Jiang Zhi mainly wanted to put it on Qian Qian.
Saying this might sound a bit grandiose, but it seemed she had a constitution that doesn’t tan. Half of the summer vacation was almost over, and she was still as pale as ever.
Sigh…
She really didn’t know whether to be happy or unhappy about it…
Everything was ready, just waiting for dawn.
Sister Jiang was coming to pick them up in the morning, so Jiang Zhi sent their address to Jiang Ruyan.
After finishing all this, she stretched in place. She didn’t work much today, yet for some reason, Jiang Zhi felt quite exhausted.
It was probably emotionally draining, dealing with Su Yan…
Taking a look at the time, it was ten o’clock in the evening, just right; she grabbed a change of underwear and walked into the bathroom in her slippers, planning to take a shower to relax.
Since Qian Qian hadn’t gone out all day, she didn’t sweat, so there was no need for a bath.
Not having to tend to a child is so nice~
Hot water poured over her head, flowing all over her body. Jiang Zhi looked at her flawless figure in the mirror and suddenly reached out to squeeze her chest.
Hiss…
