Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry! novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Feeling Tired Inside

"Mom, that’s enough. Don’t let Qin Wenze hear you say that. Now, go on and do what you need to do. I’m going to rest."

Gao Lan didn’t want to listen to her mother anymore.

The more she listened, the more upset she became.

And yet, she couldn’t confront Qin Wenze about any of it.

Mrs. Gao’s eyes showed nothing but disappointment in her.

’So useless—can’t even hold on to a man.’

’Whatever. The boy hasn’t been officially adopted yet. I can’t be too obvious about stirring things up.’

Qin Wenze returned with a huge pile of groceries.

He had bought enough for three days.

"Mom, this should last us three days, no problem. If we run out of anything, I’ll just buy more."

"Okay." Mrs. Gao was still very happy looking at the large haul. "I’ll kill a chicken and make a stew for Lan for lunch."

"Let me do it!" Qin Wenze took on the job.

"No, no. You just go keep Lan company. I can handle this sort of work."

Qin Wenze had nothing else to do anyway; he couldn’t just let his mother-in-law kill the chicken.

So he went out to the yard.

Just as he was about to catch the chicken, Gao Yaohui suddenly rushed out and called to him in a clear, bright voice, "Dad!"

The loud, clear voice made him jump.

He almost lost his grip on the kitchen knife.

"Dad, are you killing the chicken? Let me help!"

Gao Yaohui was especially thrilled they were having chicken for lunch.

Qin Wenze could no longer smile.

Although he had previously agreed to adopt the boy...

But hearing the boy call him "Dad" so readily... it made him feel deeply uncomfortable.

’Am I really going to adopt someone else’s son?’

He had his own child. The thought of raising this boy while his own child was being raised by his parents...

...made that strange, unsettling feeling grow even stronger.

"Uh... there’s no hurry to call me Dad."
