1895: How Can This Do?

How Can This Do?

Le Tian looked at Ding Junqi's back as he walked into the room. No matter how she looked at it, she felt like she had hurt him. What kind of joke was this?2

Ding Yuejia was woken up by Ding Junqi and grew grumpy from the grogginess. The little boy cried because he refused to wake up.

Le Tian got up and walked over. Ding Junqi was currently carrying the noisy Ding Yuejia in his arms as he helped him change his clothes.

"Mommy, Mommy—" Ding Yuejia saw Le Tian and reached out to look for his mother. He did not want his father to change his clothes for him, and he still wanted to sleep more.

When Le Tian went over to take over, Ding Junqi directly rejected her. "No need. I can do it myself. Pack up a bit and I'll get someone to send you back. Yuejia can't follow you forever either."

Le Tian stared at Ding Junqi bleakly. What was the meaning of this?

Ding Junqi lifted Ding Yuejia and let him stand properly. "Be good. Your mother has her own things to do. You can't keep messing around with her."

"No, no. Ding Junqi, what do you mean?" Le Tian finally felt that something was wrong. Was he trying to separate them?

Ding Junqi turned back to look at Le Tian, who was now fuming. She thought for a moment and said, "As Yuejia's tutor, you can't always be with me on set. If this persists, there will be more news like this in the future. When the time comes—"

"Yuejia can follow me. I'll take him home—"

"Do you think the reporters will let you off after this? Yuejia has grandparents. If he keeps following you, they'll only bring up that topic again. By then, there won't be another Lin Xuan to exploit." Ding Junqi became more serious as he spoke.

Le Tian, "…"

Le Tian lowered her eyes slightly and did not speak.

"Every Wednesday and Friday, I'll get someone to send Yuejia over. Just— Just attend class normally," Ding Junqi said as he turned around and carried the sobbing Ding Yuejia into the bathroom.

Le Tian stood motionless on the spot.

She was about to be separated from Yuejia. She could only see Yuejia twice a week.

Ever since she had found out that Yuejia was her son, she could only bear to not see him for a day at most. However, Ding Junqi was asking her to only see Yuejia once every few days, telling her that Yuejia could not stay with her anymore. 

How could this do?

No way!

Le Tian thought about it and hurriedly followed them into the washroom. "Ding Junqi, you can't do this. Yuejia is my son. I have the right—"

"But I don't have the confidence that I can protect you a second time," Ding Junqi replied in a low voice. "If you're my assistant, then it's right and proper for you to stay on the set and take Yuejia with you, but you refused."

As Ding Junqi spoke, he turned around and continued to bathe his son. However, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"Mommy, I want Mommy to accompany me every day." Ding Yuejia held his little yellow duck and looked at Le Tian pitifully.

How could she reject this?

Le Tian realized she had no choice at all.

However, asking her to be Ding Junqi's assistant... She was unconvinced that she was up to the job.

"I've never been an assistant. I don't know how!" Le Tian growled.

Ding Junqi smiled smugly, but when he raised his head, he retracted his smile completely. Instead, he looked at Le Tian and said, "There's no need to do anything. In the past, when she was around, she helped me care for Yuejia and tidy up my house."

Le Tian, "…"

Was he sure he was not looking for a wife?

"Yes, Mommy. Being Daddy's assistant is very relaxing. When Sis Mai Qi was around, she often said that being Daddy's assistant was the happiest thing in the world." Ding Yuekai nodded and blew his father's trumpet for him.

Le Tian stared at the father and son. No matter how she looked at them, she could not shake off the feeling that something was amiss.
