Madam, Please Behave-Chapter 236: Zhou Shiyan’s Shock

Just as Liu Changqing had expected.

His son, Liu Zhiyue, participated in only three events, all back-to-back. And just like the first, he effortlessly took first place in the triple jump and the 5000-meter run as well.

The surrounding parents couldn’t stop praising him:

"This kid is incredible! He broke the school's records in all three events!"

"Whose child is this? Do they need a daughter-in-law?"

"Why have I never noticed him in past sports meets? Is he a transfer student in the athletic program?"

Hearing these compliments made Liu Changqing feel incredibly satisfied.

After all, praising his son was the same as praising him as a father.

Even though he had an urge to boast about his son, he held himself back. He understood the importance of staying low-key. Those who got too cocky in moments like these usually didn’t end up well.

Still, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed at his son's achievements today. Even the stress he'd been feeling about his daughter’s education was momentarily eased.

"My son Zhiyue... truly a modern-day Kongming."

With an uncontrollable smile on his face, Liu Changqing stood up and made his way toward the field. Seeing this, Lan Yixian quickly followed.

When they arrived, Liu Changqing saw Zhou Shiyan twisting open a bottle of mineral water and handing it to his son, who took it with a grin and gulped it down.

She simply stood there, looking up at him, holding the bottle cap in her hand.

These two…

Lan Yixian, walking beside Liu Changqing, watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but smile. She turned to him and said,

"They have such a good relationship. I’m really glad my daughter has a friend like your son."

"..."

Liu Changqing slowly turned his head to look at her, his expression growing odd. Then, he looked back at the two kids again, his face becoming even more peculiar.

Does she seriously not see that their relationship is already past the ‘just friends’ stage?

By the time Liu Changqing and Lan Yixian reached Liu Zhiyue, he had finished half the bottle of water. He handed the remaining water back to Zhou Shiyan, who wordlessly screwed the cap back on and held onto it.

That was when she noticed Liu Changqing standing with her mother.

"Uncle Liu, long time no see."

"It really has been a while... Oh, by the way, if you're free on the weekends, you should come over and hang out with my son. Maybe you can even tutor my daughter while you're at it?"

Liu Changqing suddenly thought of this and turned to ask her.

Hearing his suggestion, Zhou Shiyan nodded.

"Sure."

"Great!"

Liu Changqing beamed at her response, then turned to his son and asked,

"After the sports meet, do you guys go straight home or back to class?"

"Back to class. Only first- and second-years get the rest of the day off."

"Damn... third-year life is brutal."

He muttered under his breath before glancing at the three people around him and saying,

"Alright then, since you all still have class, I’ll head out first. I’ve got work to take care of at the company."

"Okay, got it."

Liu Zhiyue nodded, fully aware of how busy his father had been recently. But Lan Yixian and her daughter seemed a bit surprised.

Lan Yixian’s expression shifted slightly.

"You’re leaving so soon?"

"Can’t help it. Work’s been hectic lately. I barely managed to find time to come today, but... seeing my son perform so well made it totally worth it."

"You really won’t stay a bit longer?"

"Nah."

Liu Changqing smiled as he responded, then exchanged a few more words with them before turning to leave.

The three of them watched his figure disappear into the distance.

Zhou Shiyan lowered her gaze, looking at her mother. Seeing that she was still staring toward the exit, she silently reached out and held her hand.

Feeling her daughter’s touch, Lan Yixian snapped out of her thoughts and smiled gently at her.

Liu Zhiyue, watching them for a moment, then turned to Lan Yixian and said with a smile,

"Auntie, let me find a place for you to sit and rest."

"Mmm..."

With that, he led them toward a seating area.

As they walked, Liu Zhiyue suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhou Shiyan’s wrist, pulling her slightly closer. Leaning toward her, he lowered his voice and whispered in her ear,

"My dad is dating the Aunt An I told you about last time."

The moment he finished speaking, he let go and continued walking as if nothing had happened.

But Zhou Shiyan’s usually emotionless face instantly changed. She whipped her head around to stare at him.

Yet Liu Zhiyue acted as if he hadn’t just dropped a bombshell, casually looking ahead as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

After staring at him for a while, Zhou Shiyan slowly turned her gaze toward her mother.

At this moment... she seemed lost in thought.

After getting into his car, Liu Changqing drove straight to his company.

His newly developed handheld console had already hit the market. Even though they had built up anticipation through TV commercials before the release, sales weren’t doing as well as expected due to the price.

As a result, Chen Dafu had been feeling lost, blaming himself for the poor performance.

After all, his past investments had never ended well.

But Liu Changqing knew the slow sales weren’t really Chen Dafu’s fault. The main issue was that the Pokémon series, which was bundled with the console, hadn’t exploded in popularity yet.

In his previous life, Pokémon's success involved a lot of lucky timing. Given that, he already considered the current sales results pretty decent in this world.

But… it still wasn’t enough.

That’s why he had gone ahead and acquired Dungeon &Fighter (DNF) from South Korea, and had Feng Qian set up negotiations with Qiuqiu Company.

Qiuqiu saw massive potential in DNF and even made an offer to buy it outright.

But Liu Changqing rejected them immediately.

Selling the game to them? Not a chance.

Instead, he proposed a compromise.

After all… in this world, Qiuqiu was already starting to follow the same trajectory it had in his previous life.
