Chapter 120 Successfully Attracts Attention
Ever since Du Mingyue and Cheng Lang had sex, every time Cheng Lang brought Wang Qingqing back for dinner, they hadn't spoken much. Several times, when Cheng Lang tried to speak to her, she cleverly avoided his gaze and words. Whenever Cheng Lang tried to approach her, she would quickly turn away or focus on her work, as if deliberately ignoring his presence. This left Cheng Lang feeling very confused and frustrated; he couldn't understand why she always avoided him.
That day, Cheng Lang brought Wang Qingqing back to the big house for dinner. Cheng's mother came over, took Cheng Lang and Du Mingyue's hands and said, "Son! Xiaoyue hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so you should stay and take care of her! Your father and I are going out for a while, and no one is home, so please take some time to come and visit!"
Wang Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable when she heard what Cheng's mother said. "Aunt, this isn't very nice! Letting them stay alone together is like being alone, a man and a woman!"
"What's wrong with this? They haven't divorced yet and are still a real couple according to the law! The servants in the house all know about it! No matter how uncomfortable you are, just bear with it for a few days!" Mother Cheng insisted on letting Cheng Lang come over despite Wang Qingqing's obstruction!
"Okay, Mom, I'll come over to look after you after work these few days!" Cheng Lang agreed.
Wang Qingqing angrily threw down her chopsticks and left after hearing Cheng Lang's answer. Cheng Lang hurriedly chased after her. Cheng's mother shook her head and said, "She has no manners at all! I just asked Alang to come and look after you for a few days, and she's already giving me a bad face!"
"Mom, don't be angry. Sister Qingqing is probably just having a reaction to her pregnancy. I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. It's okay. I can take care of myself!" Du Mingyue said pitifully.
"It's okay, my son will listen to me. He will come when he says he will!" Cheng's mother promised Du Mingyue.
Du Mingyue lowered her head with a slight smile on her lips. "Wang Qingqing, just wait for your turn!" Even if Cheng Lang doesn't want to do something, his parents will make him do it!
Wang Qingqing angrily returned to the small house and followed Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang chased after her and held her back, "Qingqing, listen to me. Du Mingyue is still living in our house. We can't not be responsible for her. Besides, my parents are going out soon! Someone has to keep an eye on her!"
"Aren't there so many servants in the house? Isn't there anyone who can take care of her?" Wang Qingqing roared angrily.
"Even servants can't take care of the family sometimes. I just went to check on them after I came back from the company!" Cheng Lang didn't understand why Wang Qingqing was so angry. Just like his mother said, Du Mingyue hadn't divorced him yet and she was still his wife in name. If it got out that Du Mingyue was sick in his house and no one was taking care of her, who knows what people outside would say about his family?
Wang Qingqing felt uncomfortable listening to what the man said. She knew he had a point, but she couldn't help but get angry. She felt that she had developed a certain possessiveness towards this man, which was why she felt unhappy that another woman was alone with him. Wang Qingqing told herself to be more rational and not let her emotions affect her judgment; but on the other hand, she couldn't help but worry, what if that woman really did something excessive? The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. She wished Cheng Lang could not leave her even for a moment, but she still restrained herself. She didn't want to appear too impulsive and irrational. So, she took a deep breath and tried to calm down. But at this moment, Du Mingyue, the woman, suddenly walked over, looking straight at Wang Qingqing with a provocative smile on her lips. At this moment, Wang Qingqing could no longer remain calm, and the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.
"Du Mingyue, what are you doing here?" Cheng Lang asked in confusion?
"Cheng Lang, I want to tell you that if you really can't spare the time, you don't have to take care of me. After all, Wang Qingqing is pregnant now and needs someone around more than I do!" Du Mingyue said sensibly.
"Du Mingyue, you don't have to be so hypocritical. You were silent just now and now you say you don't need care. You are really good at tricks!" Wang Qingqing rolled her eyes and said
"Hmph, believe it or not, I've already said what I wanted to say. I don't have time to waste with you!" Du Mingyue crossed her arms, her eyes full of disdain and provocation, a sneer on her lips, as if she was very dissatisfied with the two people in front of her. She stood there, leaning forward slightly, her eyes swept over the two people, then turned and left, her movements graceful and neat, without any hesitation.
"Du Mingyue..." Wang Qingqing watched her leave, her face darkening, but she managed to hold back her anger. After all, she had more important things to do. Cheng Lang, standing by, was embarrassed, unsure what to say.
"Okay, let's go." Cheng Lang patted Wang Qingqing's shoulder and motioned her to follow him. The two left the place together, leaving Du Mingyue's figure gradually disappearing in the distance.
Du Mingyue returned to the big house and felt uncomfortable again, not knowing whether it was her stomach or her abdomen. She found two painkillers in the drawer and swallowed them with water. It seemed that she really needed to go to the hospital for a check-up one day. Cheng's mother came over and asked, "Xiaoyue, how did you and Alang get along that night?"
"Oh! Mom, what happened?" Du Mingyue asked shyly, covering her face.
"Oh! Why are you still shy? You are already husband and wife, I just want to ask you two if you have ever done that?" Cheng's mother also became anxious.
Du Mingyue nodded shyly, "Yes, Mom, I've done everything I should do!"
A sly glint flashed in Cheng's mother's eyes. "That's all. Don't worry about the future. I'll help you!" She thought to herself, the Du family is now thriving. If they could keep Du Mingyue at home, it would be a great deal for the Cheng family. Not only could they leverage the Du family's influence to elevate their own family's status, but they could also give their son a beautiful and shrewd daughter-in-law. It was truly killing two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, Cheng's mother was filled with anticipation and excitement, as if she had already seen a beautiful future.
Du Mingyue knew what Mother Cheng was thinking, and her abacus beads were about to jump into her face. "Don't worry, Mom. I won't force Cheng Lang to do anything he doesn't want to do, so as not to hurt our relationship!"
"You're right to think so. It would be fine if Wang Qingqing just got pregnant and gave birth to a grandson. If it was a girl, we would kick her out immediately. Besides, you and Alang have already had sex. Maybe you are pregnant with our child now!" said Cheng's mother.
Du Mingyue knew that in a wealthy family like theirs, only by giving birth to a grandson in one go could they hope to stay. For someone with a family background like Wang Qingqing, being able to marry Cheng Lang as his concubine would be considered a good thing! Therefore, Du Mingyue's move had attracted the attention of Cheng Lang and the Cheng family.
