ST3YC Chapter 134

Shrank to a 3-Years-Old Child Chapter 134: A Disguised Apology

Fu Sijin drove Yu Yu home and noticed that she didn’t look well, so he asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Yu lowered her head and gripped the seatbelt tightly with both hands.

After a long silence, she whispered, “Is your mother not very satisfied with me?”

This is a very tactful way of asking questions.

In fact, everyone could tell from Qingqing’s expression and the way she turned and left that she had a problem with Yu Yu.

Yu Yu is not a naive and innocent girl. She will not get carried away by her good relationship with Qingqing when they were young and naively believe that the grown-up Qingqing will also accept her relationship with Fu Sijin.

After all, she was the high and mighty Madam Fu, the one who had caused Fu Sijin a series of psychological traumas in the past. How could she be easy to get along with?

Having mental preparation is one thing, but actually encountering it is another.

Yu Yu couldn’t help but recall the warm and lively little Qingqing from the past, and suddenly missed that child very much.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go back and have a good talk with her. Don’t worry, no matter what other people’s attitudes are, I’ll only ever be with you in this lifetime.”

Fu Sijin freed one hand and held Yu Yu’s cold little hand tightly, giving her strength.

“Mmm.” Yu Yu smiled and returned Fu Heng’s hand.

On the other side, Fu Heng also noticed that Qingqing was in a bad mood, and immediately followed her into the room after the children left.

The room was dark, the lights were off, and a shadowy figure was lodged on the bed.

Knowing she was definitely not asleep, Fu Heng walked straight over and put his hand on her shoulder.

Qingqing stirred and buried herself even deeper into the blankets.

“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?” Fu Heng asked gently.

“Nothing?” A muffled voice came from under the covers.

“Why are you throwing a tantrum for no reason?”

A smile flickered in his eyes, and Fu Heng simply stretched out his arm and picked up the ‘caterpillar’ in front of him, blanket and all.

Holding her tightly in a reassuring embrace, Qingqing tried to hold back, but still couldn’t help but sob.

“Did I mess things up again?” she asked, holding her breath.

I’m not angry with my son, I’m angry with myself.

“Why do you say that?” Fu Heng was really puzzled as to what this little girl was thinking.

“Well…it’s just…” After thinking for a moment, Qingqing told Fu Heng everything she had heard that day and her own speculations.

“…” After a moment of silence, Fu Heng said, “The doctor said that the recovery of memories can easily cause you to feel disoriented in time and space. At this time, your thoughts and emotions are often out of control and fluctuate greatly… Hmm.”

Qingqing suddenly tilted her head back and covered Fu Heng’s mouth with her tongue.

Why are you suddenly being so enthusiastic?

Regardless of the reason, Fu Heng immediately turned the tables and forcefully plundered everything close to Qingqing, bullying her until she was almost crying before finally taking pity on her and letting her go.

“You’re so mean!” Qingqing gave Fu Heng a soft, weak punch. “Why don’t you just say I’m overthinking things directly? Why beat around the bush like that? Do you really think I can’t understand? Humph!”

She kept whining and complaining; she was really angry.

Fu Heng sighed helplessly, “If you can get this angry by being tactful, what would you be like if I said it directly?”

“Pah, I’m not as fat as a pufferfish!” Women’s focus is always so strange.

However, after being comforted by Fu Heng, Qingqing regained her senses.

She secretly rejoiced that she hadn’t said anything nonsense, otherwise her son would probably be angry with her again. Then she felt a little guilty towards Yu Yu, feeling that she hadn’t left a good impression on her.

“Do you think I should apologize to them?”

After all, it’s going too far to suspect people randomly. If Qingqing were in Yu Yu’s position, she would probably explode on the spot and wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.

“That’s unnecessary; it would seem too deliberate,” Fu Heng rationally rejected Qingqing’s suggestion.

She could brush off her bad complexion by saying she was genuinely feeling unwell, but this apology clearly indicates that she suspects something about the other person.

This is tantamount to slapping a young woman across the face with an insult. With things escalating like this, her relationship with her son is likely to fall apart.

“And don’t forget, she’s pregnant with our grandson. If you really get sick from this baseless suspicion…”

Fu Heng didn’t explicitly state the consequences, but Qingqing figured them out herself.

In a daze, she recalled the fear she felt when she was little Qingqing, abandoned by her angry eldest son. She couldn’t help but shiver and curl up, too afraid to speak.

Seeing that she was frightened, Fu Heng quickly hugged her and comforted her, while feeling a little resentful of himself.

Qingqing is only just an adult now, and she’s not very mature yet. It’s understandable that she might not have considered things thoroughly. How can we be too harsh on her?It took a while to coax her back to her senses, but Qingqing was really listless.

She hung her head and whispered her apology: “I’m sorry, I’ll find a way to make it up to Sister Yu Yu.”

Without realizing it, I started using the old way of addressing them.

However, in Qingqing’s current mindset, Yu Yu, who is in her twenties, is indeed several years older than her.

The two were so focused on each other that they didn’t notice a figure outside the door about to knock.

However, in the end, there was no knocking on the door, and the figure left silently.

***

Yu Yu had just finished get off work and walked into a grilled fish restaurant with her bag on her back.

She found the booth according to the table number and saw a slender figure already sitting inside.

Yu Yu paused slightly, forcing herself to put on a polite smile, and stepped closer to the other person: “Auntie?”

Her head, which had been hanging low, suddenly lifted, revealing an extremely beautiful face.

It’s Qingqing.

As soon as she saw Yu Yu arrive, Qingqing immediately flashed a bright smile, as innocent and happy as she had been in her childhood: “Sister Yu Yu… oh no, Miss Yu, you’re here. Please sit down and order whatever you’d like to eat.”

It’s so easy to say it that I almost called someone my junior generation.

However, her little slip of the tongue inexplicably relaxed Yu Yu, who was a bit nervous. Her smile became much more genuine, and she took the opportunity to sit down opposite Qingqing.

Then a menu that had already been opened was pushed in front of Yu Yu.

What flavor of grilled fish would you like?

“Just don’t make it too spicy.”

“Okay.” Qingqing called the waiter to order. In addition to the grilled fish, she also ordered a lot of side dishes, which made Yu Yu say, “It’s too much, we can’t finish it,” before she stopped.

The waiter left with the menu, leaving only Qingqing and Yuyu at the booth.

Yu Yu felt a little uncomfortable; she wasn’t quite sure how to face Qingqing in the present moment.

Qingqing acted quite naturally. She first casually asked Yu Yu a couple of questions, and then stuffed the bags she had brought into her hands.

“Pregnancy is tough for women, so they need to eat more good supplements.” The bags she gave me were all high-end supplements, especially good for women.

“Um… I can’t…” Yu Yu wanted to refuse, but Qingqing grabbed her hand.

She felt a slight coolness on her wrist, and there she was, a priceless imperial green jadeite bracelet.

Yu Yu was truly terrified.

She quickly sat up straight, intending to take off the bracelet and return it to Qingqing, but Qingqing stopped her.

“This is too valuable, I can’t accept it!”

“Take this. This is a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation to the eldest daughter-in-law of our Fu family. It was given to me by A-Jin’s grandmother back then, and now I’m giving it to you as well.”

This statement is tantamount to personally acknowledging Yu Yu’s status in the Fu family.

Qingqing now carries more weight in the family than Fu Heng. Since she has acknowledged Yu Yu’s identity, no one in the Fu family dares to question it anymore.

Yu Yu wasn’t stupid; she naturally understood her intentions.

She felt a mix of emotion, including a touch of embarrassment.

She must have been too sensitive before. Her aunt liked her so much, how could she think that the aunt was giving her the cold shoulder?

Having already concluded that Qingqing was genuinely unwell, which explained her pale complexion, Yu Yu felt even more guilty for misunderstanding Qingqing.

So during the rest of the meal, she couldn’t help but take extra care of Qingqing.

They carefully removed the fish bones, peeled the shrimp shells, and even poured drinks for the fish; they practically fed it by hand.

Someone who didn’t know better might think this was taking care of a toddler who hadn’t yet learned to feed himself.

Qingqing enjoyed the meal very much.

Not only did she apologize to Yu Yu indirectly, but she also made her ‘forgive’ her.

Her gaze inadvertently swept over Yu Yu’s flat stomach.

Qingqing suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

Although it seems a bit strange that she’s only nineteen and already a grandmother, I believe no one would not look forward to the arrival of a new life.

Perfect timing! All those toys she left at home can be kept for her future granddaughter or grandson to play with.

Qingqing made her decision with a clear conscience.

“Your belly can’t wait any longer. It won’t look good in a wedding dress if you’re too far along. We need to start preparing for the wedding early. You and Ajin can choose the wedding dress yourselves. Where do you want the wedding venue? I’ll arrange it. Do you want the old house, a castle, or something more original…”

Completely bewildered that the topic had veered to wedding preparations, Yu Yu stared dumbfounded as Qingqing’s little mouth kept chattering away, utterly dumbfounded.

The key is that this guy keeps talking and talking, but it doesn’t stop her from eating.

Yu Yu picked out a piece of fish for me, and I opened my mouth and waited patiently to be fed. After I finished eating, I kept chattering away without stopping.

In a daze, Yu Yu felt that the person sitting in front of her was not a mature and elegant woman, but a lively and lovely child.

So, Qingqing hasn’t changed at all even after growing up?

The meal was a pleasure for both the host and guests.

As it turned out, Qingqing overestimated her stomach once again; she ordered too much.

There were several dishes in front of them, but they only touched three or four of them; many dishes were left untouched.

What a waste.

Yu Yu thought to herself.

If it were her and her friends going out to eat, she would definitely choose to take the leftovers home, but she hesitated a bit in front of Qingqing.

Wealthy people probably wouldn’t choose to pack up leftovers… right?

Waiter, please pack these up for us,” Qingqing called out.

Yu Yu: “…”

Noticing Yu Yu’s surprised look, Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh.

“You think I won’t pack up leftovers just because I have money? Wasting food is not good.”

Besides, at this point, she had to resort to tantrums and arguments to get her allowance from her parents.

Although the couple chose to compromise, they didn’t actually give her much, and Qingqing had to give half to her younger brother.

So despite her privileged background, she’s actually quite frugal with her money.

“Perfect for taking home as a late-night snack.”

After taking the food packaged by the waiter, Qingqing shook her car keys: “Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”

“OK, thanks.”

After regaining her senses, Yu Yu realized that she had been narrow-minded. She blushed with embarrassment and quickly followed Qingqing away.

The two walked out of the grilled fish restaurant one after the other, unaware that a newspaper was slowly sliding down on the booth diagonally opposite, revealing Fu Sishen’s furtive face.

“Are you stealing?” Fu Sijin looked helplessly at his younger brother across from him.
