Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 572 - 445: BANG! (Third Update)

"Madam?"

The woman asking the question saw Su Xiaomeng didn’t answer, seeming a bit lost in thought, and couldn’t help but call out.

"Ah? Oh...he, he’s busy."

Su Xiaomeng forced a slight smile; she feared that once off the Ferris wheel, there wouldn’t be a so-called husband waiting for her.

"Dad, where?"

Shuangshuang was leaning close, looking down through the glass, her nose almost touching it.

Prince Huang pointed down with his little finger, mumbling,

"There...?"

Su Xiaomeng followed the children’s gaze downwards, but after being on the Ferris wheel for just two or three minutes, they were already some distance off the ground.

The figures below slowly grew smaller and overlapped.

The Thames River had tens of thousands of tourists, the bustling crowd kept the metropolis brightly lit even at night.

She couldn’t find Yin Shixiu’s figure.

It wasn’t just because the Ferris wheel ascended; she couldn’t find him because he turned around and left shortly after they got into the cabin...

Su Xiaomeng saw it.

She wasn’t sure where he went, didn’t know if what he said about waiting for them was true or false.

Pressing her lips together, she felt anxious, uneasy, helpless, and a bit bitter.

Xiao Meng continued taking pictures of Shuangshuang and Huang Huang, the backdrop was the dark night and dazzling lights.

She hoped her children would always be this happy and joyful.

Beyond that, anything more was extravagant.

In the same cabin was another family of three, the woman clearly a wealthy lady, although she initially praised Shuangshuang and Huang Huang for being cute, her compliments were not heartfelt.

Xiao Meng didn’t mind this.

After all, they also had kids, and no other children can compare to one’s own.

Since boarding the cabin, the wealthy lady started complaining, about why her husband didn’t reserve a private cabin.

Though her voice was low and she spoke in English, Xiao Meng heard clearly.

Moreover, the lady was Chinese; her English was fluent yet not quite accurate, seeming rather pretentious. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Her husband was also Chinese, speaking directly in Chinese,

"Reserving an entire cabin isn’t necessary; being with others is much more lively."

The man’s voice wasn’t loud either, but given the cabin’s limited space, there weren’t many people, so what was said could clearly be heard.

The wealthy lady seemed displeased, and the man quickly hurried to console her.

A nearby local middle-aged woman smiled and said,

"You have great marital affection! Your child is beautiful too."

The wealthy lady giggled, snuggling into her husband’s arms, showing a little woman’s demeanor,

"Affectionate? He doesn’t get romance at all."

The man felt slightly embarrassed, quickly saying,

"Isn’t such a man honest then?"

"Have you no shame?"

"Haha!"

The young couple bickered, their child seemed five or six years old, holding a phone taking pictures of the scenery like a little adult.

The local middle-aged woman started chatting with the young couple.

Su Xiaomeng, her mind wandering far ended up noticing the cabin conversation was getting louder, and when she refocused she only heard the woman saying, bashfully and pretentiously,

"He does just small business, but it’s okay, supporting me and the child isn’t an issue...though he’s a bit wooden, he’s still good to me and the child."

"Hmm...he wouldn’t even let me wash dishes and touch water..."

"I rarely go out with the child alone, it’s mostly with the whole family."

When the wealthy lady said this, she glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Su Xiaomeng and her two children.

Xiao Meng didn’t initially notice anything amiss, until the wealthy lady proactively engaged her,

"Madam, I’m just saying, no matter how busy your husband is, he shouldn’t leave you to take two children out by yourself."

"..."

"Especially since both children are just over two years old."

Su Xiaomeng gave a dry laugh, and for a moment could only awkwardly say,

"It’s alright, the brother and sister are very well-behaved, and make things easy for me."

"Hey, women shouldn’t shoulder the family and children’s burden alone just because the man is busy with work. Men have responsibilities too!"

"My husband...he’s very responsible."

"Even now, you’re still defending him?"

The wealthy lady’s face showed disapproval.

In her eyes, Xiao Meng was just a failed housewife, whereas she had a great approach in managing family and husband.

She felt superior; it was evident between the lines.

Xiao Meng wasn’t interested in comparing with a stranger, but didn’t want any misunderstandings about her husband...

So she simply explained,

"I argued with my husband, usually he would accompany me and the children—"

"Tsk tsk, we’re all women, don’t put up a front! Can a couple’s quarrel make him ignore the wife and kids?"

Xiao Meng blinked...

Ignore?

"How long have you been fighting?"

Xiao Meng calculated, starting from when Chu Jiao brought the pregnancy test report home...

"About a week or so..."

"A week?! Oh my, he hasn’t given in yet?"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng felt that some topics seemed too deep to discuss with a stranger?

Silent on this side, the wealthy lady quickly asked, "Does your husband truly love you? Over a week, huh, could he be seeing other women outside?"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng furrowed her brows, quickly looked at this woman,

"Madam, be careful what you say, the children are here."

"If there’s no affection between a couple, pretending in front of the children is pointless, truly foolish behavior."

The wealthy lady arrogantly judged on her own.

Su Xiaomeng frowned; already feeling anxious, now being judged by a show-off, self-righteous woman, her unnamed anger grew!

"Sir, your wife can’t control her words, please manage her."

"Huh? I kindly gave you advice, why isn’t it appreciated?"

"My family, my marriage, my husband, why should you give advice? My children are here, speaking nonsense, what ’kindness’!"

If possible, Xiao Meng wouldn’t lose her temper with the children present, but she couldn’t hold back.

The higher the Ferris wheel ascended, the further she felt from the ground. God knows, once this cabin door closed automatically, all she wanted was to jump off and chase that distant figure...

"Why are you so fierce... Forget it, seeing a woman with two kids, you’re so pathetic, I won’t argue."

Speaking, the woman snuggled back into her husband’s arms.

The superiority on the woman’s face almost didn’t bother hiding anymore.

And her husband, still with a face full of fondness...

Su Xiaomeng sighed lightly, not envy per se, yet in the moment her heart truly felt heavy.

Why didn’t he accompany them on the Ferris wheel? Why say he’d wait, yet step by step walk...far—

"Mommy, Star!"

Shuangshuang suddenly shouted, pointing at a star that emerged in the dark night sky, like a meteor...

Su Xiaomeng looked over, and that star "BANG" exploded!

Fire...works...?

"Mommy..."

Shuangshuang’s eyes widened; she saw that star burst into a giant rose, before she could clap, it crumbled again, countless stars scattered in all directions...

Immediately following!

The countless stars exploded all at the same instant!

Colorful rose fireworks suddenly lit up before their eyes, such grandeur and magnificence! The pitch-black night was crossed by numerous dazzling lights in an instant...

Arousing, this silent night.

Footsteps paused, those wandering by the Thames River, tracing historic relics.

"Wow! Beautiful! Beautiful—!!"

Shuangshuang couldn’t help shouting, she had repeatedly pointed to the giant blue halo at home’s bay window exclaiming "Beautiful".

She hadn’t expected, when she boarded this beautiful "blue halo", there was even more stunning.

At this moment, their cabin had reached the highest point on the Ferris wheel.

The fireworks seemed just prepared for them, startlingly close yet thrillingly exciting!

Still not finished!
