Qi Taiguo prepares to leave, and Cheng Su wakes up just before dawn. After a tense breakfast where his mother expresses dissatisfaction with Cheng Su and the new childcare arrangements, Qi Taiguo reveals he has arranged for Cheng Su's mother to care for Xiao Qi while his own parents take a break. This decision angers his mother, but his father supports the plan and encourages his children to be reasonable, hinting at a past family issue.

Qi Taiguo’s outburst was triggered by Qi Xiaoqi’s words. Today, he saw Mother Qi give Cheng Su several looks, and he didn’t want Cheng Su to have to mind his mother’s expressions after he left. Even if Cheng Su couldn’t read her expressions, over time, it would still hurt their relationship.

Therefore, having his mother-in-law take care of Xiao Qi to avoid long-term interactions between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was the right choice. Getting along is easy, but living together is hard. He didn’t want his mother to make a fool of herself from time to time, making things awkward.

For everyone’s comfort and ease, it’s good to take turns this way.

"You should have told me earlier." Cheng Su said to Qi Taiguo in the room, "I didn’t really know how to react all of a sudden."

"It’s not too late to say now. I also just told my mother-in-law this morning," Qi Taiguo said. "You also didn’t tell me about the foolish things my mom did before, like the Talisman Water."

Cheng Su was stunned and asked, "Did Xiao Qi tell you?"

Qi Taiguo nodded and mimicked Qi Xiaoqi’s words, "He’s definitely born with memories. I’ve talked to him, but he hasn’t said where he comes from. In the future, if there are things you can’t figure out, you might discuss them with him."

Cheng Su nodded. The two of them looked at each other, feeling that it was a bit, well, a bit strange.

"I really don’t know how to face him!" Cheng Su laughed helplessly.

"As you said before, no matter what, he is our son. Just treat him as if he grew up ahead of time," Qi Taiguo said.

"That’s all we can do." Cheng Su said, "Should we set off?"

"Yeah." Qi Taiguo picked up the luggage and walked out of the hall, where everyone was waiting in the living room, except for Mother Qi.

"Go, call your mom out." Father Qi said to Qi Jianguo.

Qi Jianguo obliged and managed to persuade Mother Qi out of the room.

Mother Qi still wore a stern face. Upon seeing Qi Taiguo, her gaze turned complicated. This was her son, after all. Who knew when they’d meet again after he left!

"Dad, Mom, I’m leaving now." Qi Taiguo said, "After I leave, when you return to the hometown, my mother-in-law will come over to take care of Xiao Qi. You can rest for a while. When Cheng Su graduates, if we move to Guangcheng, you can come then."

Mother Qi listened, still dissatisfied.

"Mom, don’t think anyone’s stirring me up—there’s none. I just want everyone to be comfortable. When I’m not here, my wife has to run the business, look after Xiao Qi, and handle the housework—it’s exhausting already. I don’t want anyone to trouble her, let alone bully her while I’m away." Qi Taiguo said, glancing at his younger siblings.

Qi Jianguo and the others were taken aback, quickly waving their hands, "Big brother, what kind of joke is that? How could we dare bully sister-in-law?"

"Hmm, you better not dare. I’m leaving today, but I’m laying it out here—no one can bully my wife. If I find out, no matter who it is, I’ll hold them accountable." Qi Taiguo reiterated, "I hope you all respect her as you respect me, because she’s my wife and the mother of my child."

Cheng Su’s nose tingled with emotion as she turned her head.

Mother Qi stared blankly at Qi Taiguo, her pupils contracting for no apparent reason.

What he said... it was really meant for her. Indeed, a son grows up and is no longer for the mother, not even close anymore.

Father Qi patted Qi Taiguo’s shoulder, "Alright, rest assured, don’t worry about the house. I’m here!"

Qi Taiguo nodded, "Then I’m leaving!"
