Chapter 86 - Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun

Chapter 86: Chapter 84: Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun"Mom, I don’t like Aunt Qin, and I don’t want to be away from you and my brother." Rong Chen hugged Ye Qiu’s legs, his fluffy head leaning on her knees, softly cooing with affection.

Ye Qiu gently rubbed his little head and then lifted him onto her lap, looking him in the eyes with determination: "Don’t worry, Mom will not let you go to that school. We will never be apart. As for Aunt Qin, if you don’t like her, we will just keep our distance in the future."

"Mm! I love Mom the most." Hearing Ye Qiu’s promise, Rong Chen smiled happily.

Ye Qiu sighed softly. Rong Chen was really too well-behaved for his age, lacking the liveliness and mischief typical for his years. Rong Yu’s sacrifice really did affect him. Previously, Ye Qiu was always engulfed in sadness, and as a child with sensitive thoughts, he bore burdens he shouldn’t have at his age.

"Let’s go out and play." Since her pregnancy, she hardly went out, and while Rong Chen never fussed or complained, he still longed for it in his heart.

Indeed, Rong Chen’s eyes brightened and he smiled with his rosy little lips.

Although Ye Qiu had just given birth, her physical condition was good and she had recovered almost completely. After preparing some essentials, she took the two children and went out.

As the most important political, military, and economic planet in the alliance, Capital Star was extremely prosperous, and its infrastructure was the most complete among the alliance planets. Every day, countless interstellar residents wished to move here.

However, the conditions for moving to Capital Star were very strict. If it weren’t for the fact that both Rong Yu and Ye Qiu were outstanding graduates from Capital University, they wouldn’t have qualified to buy a house, but even so, the down payment almost drained their entire savings.

But living on Capital Star is very convenient. The environment is beautiful, facilities are complete, and the safety index is high. Whether for work or study, it’s better than other planets.

This is also one of the reasons why Ye Qiu, despite knowing she had limited savings and Qin Shu watching her like a hawk, insisted on staying. Even the Qin Family, being one of the three major aristocratic families in the alliance, didn’t dare to mess around on Capital Star.

If they had gone to another planet, Qin Shu would truly be unrestrained; the mother and her two sons, lacking background and power, would only be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Ye Qiu took Rong Chen and Rong Xing to a large park near their residential area. The weather was clear today, and many parents were playing here with their children.

"Go ahead, but don’t run too far." Ye Qiu handed a eagle kite to Rong Chen and gently patted his shoulder as she instructed.

"Mom, I know." Rong Chen assured with wide eyes, then ran to Rong Xing’s stroller and earnestly told his brother, "You have to listen to Mom too."

"Your son is really sensible." Suddenly, a cheerful laugh came from nearby. Ye Qiu turned and saw a tall, short-haired woman with a three or four-year-old child in black sportswear, his delicate face looking somewhat impatient.

The woman watched Rong Chen with interest, with a look of affection mixed with regret: "If only my son were as obedient as yours. Unfortunately, he takes after his father, a little ice mountain."

Seeing her dismissive expression yet not lacking in love, Ye Qiu knew she was speaking oppositely from her heart.

"Hello, I’m Ye Qiu, these are my sons Rong Chen and Rong Xing." Ye Qiu greeted her with a smile.

"I’m Su Qing, and this is Jiang Yuan. It’s nice to meet you." Su Qing laughed heartily, then squatted down to point at Jiang Yuan to Rong Chen: "This little guy doesn’t talk much, can you take him along to play?"

"Hello, Auntie." Rong Chen greeted politely, looking at Jiang Yuan with some apprehension. He hasn’t made any friends yet. The big brother seems unhappy; will he like him?

Over there, Jiang Yuan saw the anxious look in Rong Chen’s eyes, and with a heavy sigh that seemed quite beyond his years, he still took Rong Chen’s little hand and turned to Ye Qiu, saying, "Aunt Ye, I’m taking my brother over there to play, could you please take care of my mom?"

Take care of his mom? Ye Qiu glanced amusingly at Su Qing, who spread her hands helplessly and smiled back at him, "Sure, I will take good care of her, don’t worry."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Jiang Yuan nodded his head, holding Rong Chen’s hand as they headed towards the open lawn.

"I thought he was reluctant to do so, having grown up this big without willing to play with other kids; surprisingly, he made an exception today." Su Qing was indeed a bit taken aback, since she had brought him out before to play with kids his age, but he was always unwilling, and yet today seemed different.

However, the child really was lovely, and that must have been what she noticed at first, eagerly engaging her child in conversation.

"Sister Su Qing, I really appreciate your son’s help," said Ye Qiu, sincerely thanking Su Qing as she watched Rong Chen hopping and jumping, clearly delighted to have an older brother guiding his play.

"You know me?" Su Qing asked surprised.

"I’m also a graduate of Capital University. When I first entered the school, your medals were still hanging on the bulletin board!" explained Ye Qiu. Su Qing had graduated four years before she entered, having been an iconic figure in the school throughout her years.

"Oh, what a fate, to randomly strike up a conversation with such a beauty who turns out to be a junior sister!" laughed Su Qing heartily, though inside she was sizing up Ye Qiu. Considering her husband’s not-so-simple status, many sought connections with her, so her uncertainty was understandable.

However, seeing Ye Qiu’s clear and open gaze, her refined demeanor, and realizing that today’s visit with her son had been spontaneous, Su Qing gradually let down her guard.

"Coming out alone with two kids, are you? Impressive!" Su Qing casually remarked, finding it troublesome enough to handle one child, and seeing Ye Qiu’s delicate appearance, she couldn’t help but feel admiration.

"No choice, it’s just me at home," Ye Qiu laughed, and seeing her younger son gesticulating animatedly, she picked him up from the car.

"Where is their father?" Su Qing gently teased Rong Xing by holding his little hand. Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Sacrificed."

Su Qing was taken aback and retracted her smile apologetically: "I’m sorry, that was insensitive of me."

"It’s okay, it’s all in the past," Ye Qiu smiled lightly.

Seeing that her expression wasn’t forced, Su Qing voiced her inner doubt: "Sacrificed, so their father was...?"

"Their dad, Rong Yu, was a soldier who sacrificed himself on the battlefield a few months ago."

With that explanation, Su Qing understood. She was aware of the war a few months prior, as her own husband was on the front lines. Although the alliance had ultimately won, the battle had been brutally fierce. She hadn’t expected that the husband of the junior sister she’d just met had also been a martyr of that war.

This realization erased any lingering suspicions from Su Qing’s mind, even making her feel slightly ashamed of her previous conjectures.

Every soldier who sacrifices for the alliance and their families deserves respect!
