Chapter 218 - 218 EXTRA

Chapter 218 Extra Chapter 4: Yang Qingqingand Gao XudongYang Qingqing's connection with Gao Xudongbegan with her first trip to the black market in Capital City.That time, someone had their eyes on the good stuff she had, and she almost got ripped off. She reacted quickly and ran away, where she was saved by Gao Xudong." Comrade, thank you so much! I'm off now."Yang Qingqing was quite wary. Although Gao Xudong had saved her, she couldn't rule out the possibility that they were in cahoots, so she didn't plan to say much to him."I kindly saved you, and all you get is a flimsy thank you? Your thanks are too cheap, young lady." Gao Xudong chuckled."Then what do you want?""How about we grab a bite to eat together?"" You really have the nerve to let a female comrade treat you to dinner."Gao Xudong raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say you had to treat me. If you're unwilling, then forget it. By the way, don't come to this place again. The other party is no good."Capital City has several black markets, and the one Yang Qingqing came to is run by a black market boss who is not a good person; double-crossing is common among the black market operators.Gao Xudong was also involved in the black market, so he naturally knew this, because the other party always regarded him as a thorn in their side.Yang Qingqing didn't eat with him that time, since they weren't very familiar with each other.Because of that harrowing experience, Yang Qingqing didn't dare to explore other black markets for quite some time.But sometimes fate is just that wonderful.Some time later, when Yang Qingqing went to another black market, she unexpectedly encountered Gao Xudong again.Upon learning that he was from this black market, I felt inexplicably relieved.From that time on, Yang Qingqing directly traded with Gao Xudong, and they gradually became acquainted.What Yang Qingqing didn't know was that Gao Xudong wasn't so easy to talk to just anyone; it was only her.That's right, he had feelings for Yang Qingqingfrom the very beginning, while Yang Qingqingwas completely unaware.It wasn't until it became increasingly obvious that she, even if she was slow to notice, should have realized it by now. However, she wasn't opposed to it. Gao Xudong was humorous and witty, and so far, he seemed alright. But she hadn't made a final decision. One thing she appreciated was that he was an orphan, even though it was a bit unethical. She just didn't want to deal with mother-in-law/daughter-in-law issues.For example, Lu Jiayan back then, because of her mother's reasons, she resolutely refused.Lu Jiayan's mother later came to see her. At first, she tried to reason with her, hoping that she would come back to her son. But when she saw that Lu Jiayan refused, she changed her attitude and insulted her, saying that she was not good enough for her son. Yang Qingqing turned around and left without even arguing with her. She told Lu Jiayan to go home and take care of her son and not to come looking for her again.So, when Lu Jiayan came to see her again, she laid everything out on the table, hoping they could be strangers from now on. Lu Jiayan was very upset. He didn't know his mother had come to cause trouble for Yang Qingqing again. Of course, Yang Qingqing wouldn't cover for his mother and told him everything. Who told his mother to insult her like that? She hadn't argued with her then, but that didn't mean she was easy to talk to. This time, let the mother and son go back and argue!Lu Jiayan didn't want to give up, repeatedly saying he would handle things with his mother, but Yang Qingqing knew he couldn't. Besides,Yang Qingqing had long since given up on him. Seeing his insistence, Yang Qingqing had no choice but to bring up Gao Xudong and tell him they were already together.This is what made Lu Jiayan leave, completely distraught.Gao Xudong was so excited that he had only one thought: the surprise came too suddenly…But the next second…"Ahem... Um... Gao Xudong, I had no choice but to use you as a shield, please don't be angry!"What if I say I'm angry?"Really? So stingy?""I'm not the kind of person who's just used as a tool.""Then what do you want?"Gao Xudong suddenly leaned closer to her, "Qingqing, you know I've admired you for a long time. I believe you can feel it. I'm all alone, my whole heart belongs to you. I promise not to let any other women get close, and there won't be any mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts or elders putting on airs. As long as we're together, I'll listen to you. You'll be in charge at home, you'll manage all the money, and I'll always be good to you. Give me a chance, please?""Alright, Gao Xudong, I'll give you a chance. But if you fail to do any of these things in the future, I will withdraw completely without hesitation. I mean what I say.""Okay, I will prove it with my actions."They smiled at each other, and at that moment, their hearts gradually drew closer.Since neither of them had any elders, Yang Qingqing didn't want to have a wedding ceremony. They agreed to just invite their friends for a meal.Attending Yun Ting's wedding, which was a lively affair, Gao Xudong carefully observed his wife, worried that she might feel regret or be unhappy. He even made up his mind that if she wanted, he would give her a lively wedding in return.Yang Qingqing saw everything he did and found the man rather endearing.Why are you staring at me like that today?Yang Qingqing pretended not to understand and teased him."Honey, are you happy today?"Why do you ask that?"Because Yun Ting's wedding was so lively, and we… I'm worried you'll feel disappointed and unhappy.""If I were unhappy, I wouldn't have said I wouldn't have a wedding in the first place. This was my own decision, and I'm not unhappy about it. I didn't force myself at all. Marriage is a matter between the two of us. As long as we are happy, that's the most important thing. Those other formalities are just formalities. You know I don't like dealing with those social obligations."Back then, Gao Xudong said that they were both homeless and would create a warm home together. Later, their little family welcomed a new member, their beloved son, Little Cake Ball.It wasn't until the arrival of Little Cake Ball that Yang Qingqing felt she had a sense of belonging in this world.However, this little guy is so fussy and cries so much, it's exhausting for his two new parents.Gao Xudong was worried that this would affectYang Qingqing's postpartum recovery, so whenever Child cried at night, he would quickly take him out of the room to the living room so that Qingqing could go to sleep.One time, at three in the morning, Yang Qingqing woke up and found that the father and son were not beside her, so she quickly got up and went outside.As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Gao Xudong holding Child, asleep on the sofa. He had Child unconsciously wrapped in his arms, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious. Yang Qingqing felt a pang of heartache, but seeing this scene also warmed her heart. She quickly grabbed her camera and captured this heartwarming moment.The sound of the camera startled Gao Xudongawake. The first thing he did was check on Child, and seeing that Child was sleeping soundly, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, seeing the person approaching, he asked softly, "Why are you up? Go back to sleep! I'm here for your son!"Yang Qingqing came to his side, sat down, held his hand, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "You've worked hard. It's so good to have you."Gao Xudong freed one hand and put his arm around her, saying, "Wife, it should be, it's so good to have you all."
