After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All-Chapter 334: The Arrival of the Cute Baby

Sang Qiao hadn’t been downstairs long when Meng Jiahe appeared at the door, with a bouquet of roses in hand, "Qiaoqiao, these are for you."

"Thank you." Sang Qiao took them and set them on the table behind.

Soon, the Si Family’s servants had also prepared a sumptuous dinner and served it.

After the two of them had eaten, Mrs. Si sent them out for a walk.

Meng Jiahe knew Qiaoqiao was suffering inside and still hadn’t come out of it, even unwilling to acknowledge Boss Si’s death, otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed away from the company.

She felt equally uncomfortable.

"Qiaoqiao, if you’re feeling stifled at home, just come to the company and find me. I’ve been really efficient at handling the company’s affairs recently. I have a lot of free time, and Chen Ling, Jiang Chaoyuan, they all especially miss you."

"Okay, I know, you’ve really worked hard with the company matters recently."

Sang Qiao nodded with lackluster interest, her gaze falling ahead.

This road was just like it had always been, she and Si Chenli had walked it countless times, they had not yet witnessed the day it would be renewed, and now it was just her alone.

"Qiaoqiao, I believe just like you do that Boss Si is still in this world. Let’s wait for his return together, and for the child in your belly, and also for Grandpa Sang, who is worrying about you every day."

Meng Jiahe believed she understood Sang Qiao well since they had grown up together for so many years.

But at this moment, she realized she didn’t understand her at all; she didn’t know what Qiaoqiao was thinking now, she didn’t know if she had come to terms with it.

She was afraid... that even the child in Qiaoqiao’s belly wouldn’t be able to keep Qiaoqiao here.

She knew about that day when Qiaoqiao went to find Shangguan Yuan to get proof that Si Chenli was still alive, and she was nearly driven mad by that fool Shangguan Yuan. Couldn’t he have just lied to Qiaoqiao?

He had to let Qiaoqiao receive such cruel news at this time.

"The baby..." Sang Qiao finally looked down, showing some reaction.

"Yes, this baby hasn’t yet seen the world," Meng Jiahe said with a smile.

"It’s not the right time." Sang Qiao’s fingertips tensed, the child was trapping her.

"How can that be? Boss Si needs to leave you for a while, so this child’s arrival is just in time to take care of you, and he’d be more at ease."

Meng Jiahe tried to offer encouragement, never daring to say anything like Boss Si would never return.

She could feel that Boss Si’s place in Qiaoqiao’s heart had surpassed that of the Sang Family, even when Sang Qiao had been let down by the Sang Family, she had never been so despondent.

"Yeah, you’re right." Sang Qiao lowered her head to look at her slightly protruding belly.

Deciding to persevere a while longer, to bring this child into the world.

The Si Family would only have this child, even if she was gone in the future, they would treat it well, it would live a loved and happy life.

"Shangguan Yuan is just a pessimist, don’t take his words to heart."

"I won’t, he’s just more rational. It’s that I’m too reluctant to let go of Ah Li, so I’m unwilling to accept it. I thought as long as I didn’t acknowledge it, didn’t accept it, he would still exist..."

Sang Qiao’s gaze fixed blankly ahead, all her wishful thinking had shattered in that moment when everything was investigated and clarified.

"Whether or not you’re willing to accept it, he has existed, always in your heart."

"Yes."

The silhouettes of the two women were infinitely elongated by the setting sun, each step planning for the future.

Sang Family

Ever since Sang Siyang married the second daughter of the Fang Family, the company’s situation had improved by more than just a notch.

The Si Family also recovered its former operations with the support of the Sang Family, and although it wasn’t as strong as it had been during Mr. Si’s lifetime, at least it was no longer in a state of complete collapse.

As for Sang Shen, in the end, he just couldn’t force himself to marry.

He could only work harder in acting than before, but his past self-destructive actions had led to the current online community disliking him so much that they simply wouldn’t accept him.

All his scripts were met with a sea of curses, and his fan base had significantly decreased.

Sang Qingran could only anonymously deposit all the money she had saved over the years into Rose Entertainment’s account, with the note: Repaying Qiaoqiao’s money.

He had previously promised to repay it tenfold, and during the time Qiaoqiao managed the company, he had only sent little by little, but he had finished repaying it in full several months ago.

In the second month after finishing the payments, he continued to deposit money just as before. Qiaoqiao never suspected anything; perhaps she didn’t even remember how much she had originally given him.

Now that Qiaoqiao was no longer overseeing the company, he was depositing large sums of money for her, and the people at Rose Entertainment probably just thought he was earning more salary, which was why he was paying back more.

-

Time flew swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, five years had passed. Sang Qiao walked out of the airport, dragging her luggage.

Behind her followed a small girl with her hair tied into two buns, scurrying to catch up, her round, rolling eyes looking around as she grasped Sang Qiao’s empty hand.

"Mom, I want to go to Grandpa Sang’s later."

"Okay, I’ll drop you off at Grandpa Sang’s first, then I’ll make a trip to the company."

Sang Qiao agreed without a second thought. All the luggage she was carrying was for this little one; ever since this child was born, she had been traveling far away almost every week.

Young as she was, the child had a lot of imagination and mischief in her head.

"Alright."

The Sang Family, with the little one in tow, left the airport and spotted their family driver’s car already waiting at the curb. Sang Qiao put the luggage in the back seat first before lifting the little girl into the car.

"Mum, what do you think about Uncle L?" asked the little girl with her milk-like voice as soon as she sat steady.

Hearing this, Sang Qiao froze for a moment, then reached up to pinch her daughter’s cheek, "Who told you to talk like that?"

"Grandma Si, and many others... Dad’s not coming back, Mom, can you stop waiting, please?" The little girl’s pinched cheek puffed up.

She didn’t understand what her words meant; she just knew that she wanted a dad like everyone else, and Uncle L was very kind to her.

"Shut up, don’t ever say that again, do you hear me? You have a dad, and I can take you to see him anytime. You’ll always have just this one dad."

Sang Qiao tried to control her tone as best as she could, and her fingers unconsciously tightened.

She knew her daughter was young and that these words were spoken only because she had listened to others, and she understood that the Si Family didn’t want to hold back her own heart.

They were even willing to accept her marrying someone else.

But her heart only had room for one, and it would always belong to Ah Li; she would never marry again.

The first day the child was born, she had been prepared to join Ah Li, but the baby had cried so loudly, as if aware of what she was about to lose.

Thinking of her own childhood, she ultimately couldn’t leave this child behind, so she chose to live another five years. During these five years, she thought every day.

When the child grew up and no longer needed a mother, then she would join Ah Li.
