Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

Chapter 37: 037 Vindicating Yan Yueqing

The saleslady was stunned again.

Even as she swiped the card and returned to the sales office to fetch the contract, she was still somewhat dazed.

Wow!

Is selling houses this easy now?

Have this mother and son been here for even half an hour since they came in to reserve the house????

It feels like being hit by pie from the sky!

And when she thought about the lady’s boldness just now, wuwuwu, what kind of rich and willful goddess of a mother was she? She wanted one too!

A colleague saw her return so early and teased, "Xiao Cui, how does it feel to serve a big star?"

Xiao Cui frowned, "What big star?"

The colleague laughed, "Your customer just now! That mom, she’s the hot topic Yan Yueqing that’s all over the internet recently!"

"Yan Yueqing?"

Her colleague joked, "You don’t know, right? She may be good-looking, but she has a terrible reputation in the industry! In every variety show she’s on, she’s either brainless or silly, completely wasting her pretty face! Zhongxing recently even issued a statement about purging artists with bad records, and, though they didn’t name names, everyone knows they were talking about her!"

"Really?" Xiao Cui, who hardly followed celebrities, knew very little about these matters.

"Why would I lie to you? Just check Weibo. The discussion about it is really heating up! Someone who made her debut through a dating show ended up revealing she has a child—it’s so ludicrous, it could make you lose your teeth laughing.

There are even leaks online claiming she’s long been photographed with an illegitimate child, only the price wasn’t right for both parties. She was afraid the photos would be released, so she preemptively leaked them to create the image of a proactive good mother!"

The colleague looked behind her to make sure Yan Yueqing and her son hadn’t followed, then continued mysteriously, "Coming here is probably just a show, pretending to look around the property as if she’s going to buy a house and live with her son. Who knows, maybe later on, she’ll change her image from innocent goddess to gentle mother, dragging her son into the industry to make money!"

Buying a house to live together was the truth.

But to Yan Yueqing, the fully furnished Lishui Jiangling was nothing special!

It was just a place to stay... nothing more than slightly fancier than a five-star hotel!

The home she really wanted was a personally designed cozy nest, something unmatchable by any of these furnished homes.

Xiao Cui couldn’t help but shake her head with a chuckle, "You’ve all got it wrong. Yan Yueqing is a good mother!"

Seeing her colleague’s disbelief, she stood up tall and proud, holding up the property contract as she sought to defend the good mother, "The best layout, cash payment, and the son’s name alone on the deed! Who else could do that? If you don’t believe it, you’re free to ask the finance department if there wasn’t an income of 8,620,000 just now!"

It took her colleague a full five seconds to snap out of shock before responding, "Damn, she really bought a house?!"

By the time Xiao Cui finished all the procedures, two hours had passed.

When she went to deliver the contract, Yan Yueqing had already called for several rounds of deliveries, filling the place up and giving it a homely feel.

Yan Wang sat on the comfortable sofa, his gaze tightly locked on his mother. Whenever she turned to look at him, he would quietly drop his gaze to his tablet.

The whole person felt extremely awkward.

After dinner, Yan Wang went to wash up calmly. When Yan Yueqing finished tidying the kitchen, she turned around to find the little guy standing at the door with a small blanket, barefooted.

He was looking up, his cool eyes tinged with confusion.

As if asking, "Which room should I sleep in?"

Yan Yueqing didn’t even have to think, "Of course you’ll sleep with me in the master bedroom!"

Such a young son, always living in a hospital, was sure to find a change of environment unsettling! Besides, her treasure was still sick; how could she possibly let him sleep alone?

Yan Wang was visibly stunned by her words.

Still holding the small blanket, he remained motionless, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Only then did Yan Yueqing remember the relationship between her and her son, and worried that Yan Wang didn’t want to sleep with her at all, she gave an awkward cough, "emmmm... you know, cough cough, Mom thought you’d feel lonely sleeping alone... um... if you don’t want to, you can also choose another room to sleep in..."

Ah... what she’d said was too natural! She hadn’t considered her son’s feelings at all. What a mistake.

The little fellow, after hearing this, pursed his lips slightly.

A touch of color came to his pale face.

The next second, as if making up his mind...

Yan Wang directly walked into the master bedroom.

This little tsundere!

Your face reads ’refusal,’ but you know the way to the master bedroom better than anyone, right?

Yueqing couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

But at that moment, the system suddenly gave a prompt.

[Yan Wang Favorability +5.

Current Favorability: -35.]

Huh?

Even sleeping with my son increases favorability?

That’s doable!

If we keep spending day and night together like this, it won’t be long before the favorability turns positive!

After sorting everything out, Yueqing thought for a moment, took a storybook from the pile of stuff she had bought, and returned to the room.

Yan Xiaowang was lying on the bed, as stiff as a board.

He closed his eyes, but his breathing became somewhat rapid at the sound of his mother’s footsteps.

Yueqing saw the cold sweat on her son’s forehead and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

Alas... this is what a child who has never been pampered by his mother is like.

Even the slightest kindness must be handled with extreme care in his view!

Craving it, yet fearing the loss of it...

These extremes of emotions could drive even an adult mad, let alone a child?

She lowered her voice, "Baby, are you asleep? Do you want Mommy to tell you a story?"

Yan Wang didn’t respond, but his trembling eyelashes visibly calmed down a bit.

Yueqing sat beside him, turned a page of the storybook, and began with a gentle voice like a babbling brook, "Mommy will tell you a story about a little duckling.

Once upon a time, Mother Duck was swimming in the water with her ducklings; the pond was so big, and the reeds were so beautiful. As Mother Duck swam and swam, she actually forgot she had come out with her ducklings... By the time she remembered, the little ducklings were gone.

Mother Duck searched and searched, and the little duckling stayed alone in the reeds, thinking Mother Duck didn’t want him anymore and was terribly sad. Later... she finally found the little duckling..."

Speaking to this point, she sighed heavily.

Only then did she notice her son was already looking at her with wide-open eyes.

The black pupils held a hint of expectant melancholy.

Yueqing softly said, "Mother Duck didn’t mean to leave her son behind. She knows she was wrong and wants the little duckling to forgive her, but can the little duckling... forgive her? Baby, tell me, what exactly should Mother Duck say for the little duckling to trust her again?"

The simple story was actually about the two of them, mother and child.

Yan Wang understood; his mother wanted to make amends.

Lately, she indeed had changed a lot.

Considerate, gentle, attentive...

But can these erase the pain from back then?

Can they make him forget... that his mother once wanted him dead?

Yan Wang’s heart trembled violently, his mind a mess of tangled emotions that left him struggling to breathe.

Yueqing didn’t dare to speak and could only extend her hand, gently patting her son’s back.

After a long pause,

The cold little figure finally spoke slowly, "Why won’t you let me go to the production crew?"

Yueqing was caught off guard: "Ah?"
