The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife-Chapter 863: There are significant risks being with him

"As long as she doesn’t come to bother us, I’ll treat her as my mother. But if she causes trouble, I really won’t deal with her anymore!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Chai Xiyang immediately understood.

She had chosen him over her own mother.

Holding her tight, Chai Xiyang couldn’t help but say, "Qiao Ning, I also promise you that I won’t do anything to her. But I won’t pay attention to her either. Let’s just live our lives without interfering with each other."

"Okay..." Qiao Ning nodded.

This was what she had hoped for.

Because this was best for everyone.

She also knew that she couldn’t be greedy and have both her mother and Chai Xiyang.

But since her mother was so terrible, she had no choice but to give her up...

It wasn’t that she would completely ignore her mother. She would still intervene if there was a necessity, but she would try her best to avoid regular contact.

Of course, when her mother got older, she would still arrange for someone to take care of her.

Once they synced their thoughts, the knots in their hearts were untangled.

Finally, Qiao Ning showed a relieved and brilliant smile.

Chai Xiyang, amused, pinched her nose. "Don’t tell me you’ve been gloomy all day because of this."

Qiao Ning didn’t speak.

Indeed, she had been...

Chai Xiyang rubbed her head affectionately, "Silly girl."

How could he hate her because of Kong Minjuan? If he were going to hate her, he wouldn’t be with her in the first place.

Even more so, he was willing to let go of Kong Minjuan for her, but he didn’t want to tell her that...

He didn’t want her to feel increasingly guilty or grateful to him.

Because he owed her too much.

...

In the following days, Kong Minjuan reached out to Qiao Ning a few times, and Qiao Ning met with her twice.

But Kong Minjuan didn’t do anything. She just invited them, mother and child, for meals, aiming to foster a relationship more with Yifan.

Seeing her getting close to Yifan again, Qiao Ning couldn’t help but say, "Mom, I don’t know what your intentions are, but I don’t want Yifan to get hurt."

The implication of her words was clear.

She suspected that Kong Minjuan’s approach to Yifan had ulterior motives.

Qiao Ning had to suspect her, given that years ago she seemed very intent on having the child she gave birth to.

Kong Minjuan regretfully said, "You’re thinking too much. I’m nice to Yifan because I want him to like me too. Mom was wrong to you before, and it’s hard to mend our relationship now. Now that I know I was wrong, I just want to make it up to him more. And when I’m old, if you don’t take care of me, Yifan will surely look after me a bit, right?"

It turned out she was afraid of being uncared for in her old age.

Qiao Ning didn’t tell her that although she didn’t like her, she wouldn’t ignore her when she got old.

But knowing she had no ulterior motives, Qiao Ning felt much more relieved.

"Qiao Ning, are you really planning to be with Chai Xiyang?" Kong Minjuan suddenly asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Qiao Ning didn’t answer.

Kong Minjuan carefully said, "I’m just worried you might regret it in the future. He hates me so much, will he really be good to you? I’m afraid it’s just a whim, or that he might suddenly turn on you. He’s done such things before, Qiao Ning, Mom is just looking out for you. You need to think it through, being with him is very risky."

Qiao Ning felt a tightness in her chest upon hearing this.

"Yifan, are you done eating?" she asked the child, ignoring her mother’s words.

The little guy nodded.

"Then let’s go home." Holding his hand, Qiao Ning stood up to leave.

"Qiao Ning!" Kong Minjuan called out to her, anxiously, "Did you hear what Mom said? You really need to think it over..."
