My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Before Yin Qin could respond, Mrs. Wu lost her cool.

She spat out angrily, “Miss Ji, either have your own child with the young master, or quit trying to snatch Xiaolang’s baby. You childless people won’t understand how important a baby is to a mother!”

Ji Baixing’s face darkened.

Having a child…

She can’t have a child any longer!

She can’t, not anymore.

As she can’t, she still hopes Little Tiger can stay by their side. She would take it as her own.

Not only can it strengthen the bond between her and Yin Qin, but it can also help mend the pain of not having a child.

She feels her thoughts are justifiable, they are good for everyone, for her, for Yin Qin, for Little Tiger, even for Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang is still young. She can still marry again. Without a child, she will have more options.

Why is it that options that are good for everyone get refuted time and time again?

She turned to Yin Qin and said firmly, “I’m serious about this. You can think it over.”

“There’s nothing to consider,” Yin Qin replied each word heavier than the next, “I can agree to anything else, but I will absolutely never snatch Little Tiger from Luo Xiaolang, never!”

Ji Baixing’s throat tightened.

Yin Qin indeed still cares about Luo Xiaolang.

She scoffed, “Yin Qin, have you considered my feelings? Have you thought about why I want to bring Little Tiger to our side?”

Yin Qin replied, “Sorry, I didn’t think about it. When it comes to Little Tiger, I don’t want to consider anything else.”

Ji Baixing looked at him coldly.

Yin Qin was blunt, “I don’t want to discuss this topic anymore.”

His tone was not heavy, but Ji Baixing could feel Yin Qin’s firm resolve.

In that moment, Ji Baixing held back her emotions.

Arguing with Yin Qin now would be useless. He simply cannot comprehend just how beneficial it would be to bring Little Tiger back into their lives!

Little Tiger’s fever subsided shortly after the IV,

Soon reaching 37.5 degrees Celsius.

It rose, again and again, but never exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius. After administering physical treatments, it remained stable at around 37 degrees Celsius.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t return to the ward until very late at night.

By that time, Mrs. Wu had fallen asleep in the nearby attendant’s bed.

Ji Baixing was not there.

Yin Qin and Little Tiger were sleeping on the same bed. Yin Qin’s brows furrowing, as if he’s having an uneasy sleep.

As soon as Luo Xiaolang made a sound upon arrival, Yin Qin immediately became alert. He hastily checked Little Tiger’s forehead to see if the fever had returned.

Luo Xiaolang quietly observed Yin Qin’s actions.

Only leisurely,

Did a drowsy Yin Qin notice the presence of Luo Xiaolang.

He sat up on the bed, “You’re here?”

“How is Little Tiger?”

“His temperature is at 37 degrees. The doctor said we should observe him another day. If the temperature doesn’t rise, or better still drops, he can be discharged.”

“Hmm.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.

Yin Qin got out of bed.

He said, “You should sleep now. I’ll go sleep on the sofa.”

Luo Xiaolang had initially planned to stay in the hospital overnight and then head for the competition the next morning. But at that moment, she hesitated and said, “No, you can lie down. I need to go back.”

“You’re leaving?”

“Yes. I have a competition tomorrow. I didn’t rest much last night and today, so I need a good night’s sleep. Otherwise, it could affect my performance tomorrow.”

“That’s also true.” Yin Qin nodded.

“I’ll get going.”

“Xiaolang.” Yin Qin suddenly called out to her.

Xiaolang halted right there.

Yin Qin added, “You can focus on your competition. I promise I will take good care of Little Tiger. Don’t worry about anything.”

Luo Xiaolang pursed her lips.

She indeed never considered having Yin Qin help her out.

Yet, at that moment, she was truly grateful.

If it wasn’t for Yin Qin, she might’ve given up the competition. She knew all too well that she was not indifferent to the competition.

Perhaps her team spirit was stronger than she had thought.

She answered, “Thank you.”

Yin Qin watched as Luo Xiaolang left.

He wasn’t sure when it began, but all he seemed to see was Luo Xiaolang walking away.

He realized with a pang that Luo Xiaolang was drifting further and further away from him.

Luo Xiaolang was no longer that woman who relied on him, who would always be home waiting for him, who was simple and naive, Luo Xiaolang now had her own life, her own lifestyle

There was an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

Perhaps this was the best decision they could both make.

The next day.

Luo Xiaolang went to the competition.

The next day.

The little tiger’s temperature returned to normal, and his spirits were much better.

A little after 10 in the morning.

Yin Qin watched Luo Xiaolang’s live competition on TV via his mobile phone.

Before the competition, Wu Meili had called him to ask if he wanted to watch the match live. He was so angry that he almost strangled Wu Meili over the phone.

So Yin Qin watched the game while holding the little tiger and playing with him.

From time to time, he would tell the little tiger, “See, your mom is the ugliest one there.”

Sister Wu was unhappy with this and retorted, “Young Master, are you blind? How is Xiaolang ugly?”

“How is she not ugly?”

“There’s nothing ugly about her. Xiaolang just doesn’t dress up. If she does, she would look better than Miss Ji…”

Ji Baixing appeared at the door of the ward.

Sister Wu stopped talking immediately, feeling somewhat awkward.

Yin Qin also noticed Ji Baixing and didn’t continue the topic with Sister Wu.

Ji Baixing heard them talking about her, but she chose to ignore it at that moment. She didn’t want to argue with a servant, and said, “I brought food, I thought you might not be used to the hospital meals.”

“The doctor said the little tiger has recovered well and if there’s no relapse, he can be discharged in the afternoon.”

“That’s good,” Ji Baixing said, and then she played with the little tiger for a bit.

The little tiger didn’t seem to like Ji Baixing very much. Once he saw Ji Baixing approach him, he twisted his body to face the other side.

Ji Baixing felt somewhat awkward.

Yin Qin teased him, saying, “Little tiger, this is your dad’s girlfriend, don’t hide.”

But the little tiger still didn’t turn around.

Yin Qin said, “He’s shy with strangers. I also had to spend a whole night to build a bit of rapport with him, and even then, he still cries at me occasionally.”

Ji Baixing just smiled and didn’t say anything.

She changed the subject, “Didn’t Xiaolang come by at all yesterday?”

“She came by last night and left. She needed to rest for today’s competition.”

Ji Baixing looked somewhat disdainful.

Yin Qin said, “I understand her. Besides, isn’t she bringing glory to our country? So many people are watching the game, so many are rooting for her, she can’t let them down.”

“I didn’t say anything. I just think the little tiger is a bit pitiful, that’s all.”

“When he grows up, he’ll know he has a great mother.”

Ji Baixing really didn’t want to keep talking with Yin Qin anymore.

She said, “Let’s take the little tiger outside for some fresh air.”

Yin Qin glanced at the TV. At that moment, the screen was zoomed in on Luo Xiaolang.

Yin Qin was stunned by Luo Xiaolang’s determined eyes.

This woman seemed to have changed…quite a bit.

“Yin Qin.” Ji Baixing frowned.

Yin Qin snapped back to reality, inconspicuously picked up the little tiger, and walked out with Ji Baixing.

Sister Wu looked at their retreating figures.

She felt that the young master didn’t care about Miss Ji as much as he did for Xiaolang, even though he listened to whatever Miss Ji said.

…

The competition was intense.

Luo Xiaolang’s team won a complete victory, and all the gamers cheered incessantly on the scene.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t even receive the trophy. She left as soon as the game was over.

Joe held her back, “Xiaolang.”

“I need to go back.”

“I’ll drive you.”

“Don’t you need to take the trophy?”

“Leave it to those kids. I’ll drive you home. You didn’t bring your car.”

Luo Xiaolang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Joe drove Xiaolang to the hospital and found out the little tiger had been discharged.

She quickly called Sister Wu.

Sister Wu’s voice was somewhat small, “Xiaolang, we just got back home. The young master and the little master are sleeping. It took us a while to get the little master to sleep.”

“Alright, I’ll be right back.”

Luo Xiaolang apologized to Joe, “I’m sorry, they’ve been discharged.”

Joe touched Luo Xiaolang’s head.

What was there to be sorry about?

He got in his car and drove Luo Xiaolang back home.

When they got to Luo Xiaolang’s house, Sister Wu was tidying up the room. Yin Qin and the little tiger were already sound asleep on her bed.

Luo Xiaolang wanted to wake Yin Qin up, but at the last moment, she resisted the impulse.

“Xiaolang, I think the young master is really good to you and the little tiger.” Sister Wu looked at the big and small figures on the bed, and couldn’t help but speak.
