Hearing that Zhang Wan also knew about it, Chen Chunyao's face turned ashen. Even her words of interrogation were disjointed.
"Are you really, really back together with Qi Shifeng? No, you never forgot about him. You've just been acting all this time, right?"
She put on a show of toughness, but still couldn't hide her fear.
If Xu Tingyu really hadn't lost her memory, then her acting skills were truly remarkable.
No, she must have lost her memory. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed by Qi Ye's side for so long.
She regained a bit of her senses and immediately realized she had said the wrong thing.
But it was too late.
Xu Tingyu had caught the keyword from her words: back together.
It meant that Qi Shifeng hadn't lied to her. They did have feelings for each other before.
And Qi Ye and Chen Chunyao both knew about it but had been lying to her.
Looking into her eyes, Chen Chunyao knew it was all over.
She no longer had the strength to argue. She just looked at Xu Tingyu feebly, waiting for her "verdict."
After a few dozen seconds of eye contact, Xu Tingyu felt a bit helpless.
No wonder Chen Chunyao had ended up like this. She seemed to be stuck in her ways.
"Yaoyao," she said calmly. "What I mean is, since Zhang Wan also knows and you two are rivals in love, why not take advantage of this opportunity?"
She even showed Chen Chunyao the message Zhang Wan had sent her.
"Look, even if you do nothing, it seems she'll let you off the hook."
"Think about it. She dares to talk about you like this to me, your friend. What will she say about you in front of Qi Ye?"
She took back her phone and finished these two sentences as Chen Chunyao's face turned extremely pale.
Then she stood up gracefully. "You have half a day to think about it. Once you've made up your mind, call me."
"Now I'm taking Youyou out to play. Oh, if they ask, I'll say I'm with you."
After saying that, she didn't give Chen Chunyao a chance to speak and left the coffee shop directly.
Chen Chunyao was so angry that she almost flipped the table.
Xu Tingyu was threatening her!
She said she was giving her time to think, but in fact, she wasn't giving her a chance to say no.
She remembered how determined Xu Tingyu had been towards her before she lost her memory when she found out everything was related to her.
Xu Tingyu was never a soft - hearted person.
If she was nice to you, she could lift you up to heaven. But once she turned against you, she'd strike a fatal blow.
Chen Chunyao covered her head and sank into pain.
On the other side, Xu Tingyu picked up Youyou and walked out of the room boldly.
Zou Yu wasn't too surprised. He just said, "Miss Xu, don't worry. We've made all the arrangements. No one will bother you."
He meant that they wouldn't let photos of her and Youyou be taken.
Xu Tingyu didn't really care. She just smiled slightly and looked at Zou Yu. "Thank you."
Zou Yu knew she always judged things objectively and never took out her anger on others, so he didn't think much of this thank - you.
Actually, Xu Tingyu was really grateful to him.
He had left his pregnant fiancée to come and protect Youyou. She should thank him.
"Mommy, where's Daddy? Isn't he with you?"
Youyou hadn't seen his daddy last night, nor his mommy. He thought they were together.
Xu Tingyu didn't know where Qi Shifeng was, so she shook her head. "No. What do you want to do today, Youyou? Mommy will take you there."
Hearing that his mommy would accompany him, Youyou didn't dwell on Qi Shifeng anymore. "I want to swim and build a castle."
How could a child at this age resist the temptation of building a castle with sand?
Xu Tingyu readily agreed. Then she carefully applied sunscreen on Youyou before taking him to the beach.
The beach was full of vacationers.
Xu Tingyu covered her face tightly. After all, she had been on the hot search just yesterday. If she was photographed now, it would affect Youyou.
She didn't care about herself, but Youyou mattered.
Fortunately, there were many people on the beach who covered themselves up tightly. After all, many people were afraid of getting tanned, especially on their faces, where sunspots were likely to appear. So she didn't stand out.
Youyou was wearing a little floral shirt and beach shorts. He sat under the sun umbrella and started playing with sand.
Xu Tingyu sat beside him, staring at him intently. The more she looked, the softer her heart became.
She couldn't believe that such a beautiful and well - behaved little baby was her own.
She felt a kind of indescribable pride.
"Mommy, what kind of house do you like? Can I build a castle for you?"
While building, Youyou suddenly asked Xu Tingyu.
Xu Tingyu thought for a while. "Mommy doesn't need a castle. Mommy doesn't like big houses either. Well, as long as I'm with Youyou, a small house is fine."
What was so good about a big house? It would be empty.
Most importantly, even if it was just a sandcastle, she felt sorry for Youyou and was afraid he would get tired.
Youyou suddenly paused for a moment. Then he stood up, walked towards her, hugged her arm, and asked softly.
"Then can I build a small house for Mommy? I have money, a lot of money."
"If so, can you come back, Mommy?"
Xu Tingyu immediately hugged Youyou and stroked his little face. "Even if you don't build a small house for Mommy, Mommy will come back."
Youyou's clear eyes were immediately filled with surprise. "Really, Mommy?"
Xu Tingyu hugged him tightly. "Of course it's true. Mommy won't lie to you."
Although Youyou nodded, there was still a bit of worry in his eyes.
Maybe he was afraid of making Xu Tingyu worried, so he didn't say anything else. He just whispered, "Mommy, I love you so much."
"Mommy loves you too, baby. Did someone say something to you? Tell Mommy."
Youyou would never say such things for no reason.
Nor would he suddenly lose his sense of security.
Youyou looked at her expression. After making sure she wasn't angry, he said, "I looked at my phone for a while last night."
Youyou was always very self - disciplined. There was no need to worry about him being addicted to electronic products, so he always had his own phone and tablet.
Qi Shifeng didn't limit his phone - playing time, so he saw the hot search when it was at its peak last night.
Xu Tingyu never thought of this. Her face immediately changed.
"Youyou, is there anything you want to ask Mommy? You can ask anything. Don't keep it in your heart, okay?"
She took a deep breath and tried to relax.
After all, if she reacted too strongly, Youyou might get even more panicked.
Youyou's clear eyes landed on her for a moment before he asked, "Mommy, do you not like Daddy and like Uncle Qi instead?"
After a pause, without waiting for Xu Tingyu to answer, he continued on his own.
"Uncle Qi may lie, but as long as he doesn't lie to Mommy, it's okay."
"And Mommy is always right. So even if you like Uncle Qi, I still like you, Mommy."
As he said this, his little face was scrunched up as if he was about to cry at any moment.
