Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 428: Leng Ziqing Picks Up His Son

For the first time ever, Leng Ziqing picked up his son from school. Because he hadn’t notified Zhang Meimei in advance, they met at the kindergarten gate.

Zhang Meimei looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course, to pick up my son," Leng Ziqing replied.

Zhang Meimei frowned, "You’ve never picked up our son before. Why suddenly today?"

"Can’t I just miss my son? I’m planning to take Jiangjiang out to play for a few days, so during these days, I’ll be taking care of him."

"No way, you’ve never looked after him. You don’t even know how. Plus, he has school," Zhang Meimei refused outright.

Leng Ziqing’s face turned stern, "It’s just kindergarten; it’s not that important. Besides, he’s my son. Aren’t you worried I can’t take care of my own child?"

Zhang Meimei thought to herself, Of course, I’m worried. You haven’t fulfilled your fatherly duties all these years. Why are you suddenly showing up now?

However, she wasn’t the impulsive and willful young girl from four years ago.

Four years of marriage had worn down some of her sharp edges.

She looked at Leng Ziqing with suspicion and didn’t continue rejecting him, instead saying, "I’ll think about it."

"Think quickly; the child will be out soon," Leng Ziqing said.

Zhang Meimei stepped aside to make a phone call, dialing her mother.

She told her mother about Leng Ziqing wanting to take their son, and her mother paused for a moment before speaking, "Could it be that Leng Ziqing wants to rekindle things with you, and is using this opportunity to get close to the child first, then to you?"

"Mom, we never had anything good between us to rekindle," Zhang Meimei smiled bitterly.

Feng Qi said, "Meimei, you were married for over four years; even if there’s no love, there’s companionship. Maybe he’s finally realized who is most important to him and wants to start anew with you. Since he’s willing to take care of Jiangjiang, let him do it for a few days. If he really has this idea, you’re finally seeing hope. You don’t want a divorce, right? If you don’t want a divorce, then him coming around would be a good thing. Even if he doesn’t have this idea, it’s still fine. After all, Jiangjiang is his son, and a father wanting to be responsible is beneficial for Jiangjiang’s growth."

"Mm, Mom, what you said makes sense. I’ll agree to it then," Zhang Meimei replied.

"Agree to it, you can relax for a couple of days too," Feng Qi spoke with concern for her daughter.

Zhang Meimei hung up the phone, went to find Leng Ziqing, and told him she agreed.

Just then, Jiangjiang came out.

Seeing both Dad and Mommy there, he ran over joyfully.

"Dad, why are you here too?"

Young boys hope to spend more time with their dads, but unfortunately, Dad was always busy before. Yet, the busier he was, the more Jiangjiang wished for time together.

Zhang Meimei kneeled down and said to her son, "Sweetheart, do you want to go out and play with Daddy for a few days?"

"Okay, great, that’s awesome," Jiangjiang clapped his hands in happiness.

Seeing him so happy, Zhang Meimei smiled with relief.

"Will Mommy come too?" Jiangjiang asked again.

Zhang Meimei’s face stiffened, and she looked up at Leng Ziqing.

If Leng Ziqing really had that idea, he should follow the child’s lead and ask her to come along, right?

But unexpectedly, Leng Ziqing firmly said, "Mommy’s not coming; Daddy will take you out to play."

Disappointment flickered in Zhang Meimei’s eyes but disappeared quickly. She was proud enough not to let Leng Ziqing see through her.

"Just right, I have some things to do these days. You go have fun, Jiangjiang, and listen to Daddy," she found herself an excuse.

Jiangjiang showed a disappointed expression. He actually wanted both Daddy and Mommy to play with him.

However, since Mommy said so, he didn’t dare say anything, fearing he might make her angry.

Mommy has a bad temper; he knows that, though she’s very good to him. But he still doesn’t want to upset her.

"Dad, Mommy, Xiaxia."

At this moment, Xiaxia and Tuantuan also came out, and Jiangjiang immediately pointed at Xiaxia and called out.

Following her son’s pointing, Zhang Meimei saw Xiaxia and a son of Ye Ningwan coming out together.

Actually, Zhang Meimei had already heard news about Xiaxia from her mother.

It’s truly regrettable that the cousin had already died unexpectedly.

There was no news of the son, only this daughter left, who was taken back by Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue originally wanted to send the child back to the Feng Family, but they refused to take her.

Now with Xia Wenyuan’s sister also gone, the child became unwanted.

At first, Zhang Meimei suggested she could adopt the child.

After all, Xiaxia is around the same age as Jiangjiang; raising one is raising, raising two is also doable, and their family isn’t short of money to raise children.

Even though she didn’t have a close relationship with her cousin, they were related.

However, her proposal was rejected by her mother. Her mother sternly said, "Your uncle must have his reasons for refusing. If the Feng Family refuses to take the child, what business do you have bringing the child here? Raising a child isn’t just about feeding them full; it’s easy when they’re young, but hard to manage as they grow. I don’t want you to bring that child here, you’re already dealing with so many things; don’t add more troubles."

"But... she’s the cousin’s child after all," Zhang Meimei said.

Feng Qi replied, "Since nobody accepted her, Zhan Hanjue can’t send her to the orphanage; he’ll eventually take care of her. Anyway, don’t worry about this matter."

Because of her mother’s refusal, Zhang Meimei didn’t mention the matter again.

Unexpectedly, this child was also attending this kindergarten.

It seemed Zhan Hanjue hadn’t lost his humanity and wasn’t treating the child badly due to resentment against his cousin.

"Alright, get in the car with Dad," Zhang Meimei said, retracting her gaze from Xiaxia and letting her son leave with Leng Ziqing.

Leng Ziqing took Jiangjiang to the car.

As soon as Jiangjiang got in, he saw a woman sitting inside the car.

He looked at Wu Taotao in surprise.

Wu Taotao smiled at him and greeted, "Hello, Jiangjiang."

"Who are you?" Jiangjiang asked.

Wu Taotao laughed and said, "My surname is Wu. My name is Taotao, just like your name with two syllables. But you can call me Mrs. Wu."

"I heard Jiangjiang likes Transformers. This is the latest set of Transformers; do you like it?" Wu Taotao pulled out a set of Transformer toys.

Jiangjiang’s eyes lit up, and he immediately took them and thanked her, "I like them, thank you, Auntie."

Wu Taotao chuckled softly and glanced at Leng Ziqing.

Leng Ziqing also smiled with satisfaction, reaching out to touch his son’s little head.

As long as his son was willing to accept Wu Taotao, things would become much easier.

After returning, he planned to propose divorce with Zhang Meimei.

Additionally, Leng Ziqing realized Wu Taotao was very good at looking after children.

Although Jiangjiang was his son, when compared to Wu Taotao, he felt less knowledgeable about children.

Seeing Wu Taotao and Jiangjiang interact so harmoniously filled him with joy. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

However, this warm and happy moment changed after Jiangjiang contacted Zhang Meimei.
