DTBS – Chapter 51
Chapter 51: I Am Very Angry
After having breakfast outside, Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang took the little cat to school, only to find out that kindergarten was closed today!
The System was very curious: "So why didn't you say you weren't going to school today?"
Tao Aiqin imparted her wisdom earnestly: "Sys, why are you still so silly? If I had told them, could they have spent so much time together? Hehe, taking their daughter to school together, how romantic~ Besides, the way they felt today was much better than before. It seems their relationship has made great progress."
She sighed, "Speaking of which, what exactly happened after I fell unconscious in the castle? How did Villain Mom confess? And judging by the female lead's reaction, she didn't seem to mind."
The System immediately felt guilty: "N-nothing happened."
"What are you hiding from me?"
"Uh..." The System hesitated.
"Sys, think about it, we rely on each other in this world, we only have each other. We need to be honest with each other for our friendship to last."
"Okay, actually, Tao Qiuyun didn't confess. She just said it was warm tonight, and then the female lead called her crazy because the wind was very strong that night."
Tao Aiqin: "..."
Alright, I get it. These two are still quite worrying.
"So, 'it's warm tonight' is how you humans confess?" The System was eager to learn.
"It's a subtle way of expressing one's inner feelings," Tao Aiqin explained. "Even in the cold wind, as long as the person you love is by your side, you don't feel cold."
The System took notes.
"Wuwuwuwuwu," the little cat whimpered, "It's a shame about that beautiful CG. Why did it have to be a BE style? My Villain Mom is so miserable~"
Seeing this, the System was even more afraid to tell her that the CG had changed because of its own actions.
Since Qinqin didn't have to go to school and said she wanted to play with her mothers, Qin Qingshang prepared to take them back to the hotel.
"Aren't you afraid we'll be discovered?" Tao Qiuyun sat in the passenger seat, turning her head to look out the window. "If we're photographed entering or leaving the hotel..."
"We won't. We'll go into the hotel one after the other," Qin Qingshang didn't realize her attitude towards Tao Qiuyun had completely changed from the beginning. Back at the Civil Affairs Bureau, she had wished they wouldn't even see each other.
She continued, "Then we'll leave one after the other. There are so many people coming and going in the hotel, we won't be discovered."
Tao Aiqin in the back seat saw Tao Qiuyun's secretly curved lips and clicked her tongue at the System: "Sys, my Villain Mom is probably thrilled."
Tao Qiuyun was indeed happy, but her joy didn’t last long because Qin Qingshang suddenly received a call from Ning Pingliu, who said her recording equipment had some issues yesterday and didn’t fully capture the sound. She needed to go back to the set for a re-recording.
"Sorry, CEO Tao," Qin Qingshang said, a little embarrassed, "I have to go to the set."
"It's okay," Tao Qiuyun said calmly, seemingly not thinking it was a big deal. "I'll contact a driver to pick me up."
"Ah, I was going to give you the room card," the cat said, then stopped.
"...Actually, on second thought, it's not good to trouble Miss Zhang so early in the morning. Qinqin and I will just go to your place and sit for a while." It was okay, she could be flexible.
Hearing this, the little cat in the back seat covered her mouth and giggled, and the big cat in the driver's seat also chuckled softly: "CEO Tao, are you very curious about my hotel room?"
"Yes, I'm actually quite curious about the lives of celebrities," Tao Qiuyun said with a serious expression. "Do your rooms really have many suitcases?"
"Stop teasing me, CEO Tao," Qin Qingshang said helplessly. "I have a normal number of suitcases, not many."
"Is it the room arranged by the crew?"
"Yes."
Soon, Qin Qingshang drove into the hotel parking lot. She handed the room card to Tao Qiuyun, and after the two got out of the car, she drove to the set.
"Bad Mama," the little one looked up at her, "Want a hug~"
"You really don't want to walk if you can be held." Tao Qiuyun bent down and picked her up.
The cat wrapped her arms around her neck and rubbed her cheek against hers, "Qinqin missed you so much~"
For a moment, Tao Qiuyun felt like she had drunk a can of sweet soda, her chest filled with bubbles of joy and satisfaction.
"Let's go, we'll go buy some food and toys nearby first, then go to Mama's room and wait for her to come back." She carried her daughter towards the nearby mall.
The System was speechless at Tao Aiqin’s spoiled behavior: “Can’t you try some other tricks?”
"It's not about having many tricks, as long as they work."
In the supermarket, the little cat went on a shopping spree for snacks. Su Qingxiang had been taking care of her these days, and Doctor Auntie Xiang was very concerned about her health, usually not letting her eat snacks. She had been craving them for a long time.
Now that Tao Qiuyun was back, facing this gentle CEO Mom, as long as the cat acted cute and looked at her with watery eyes for a while, she would quickly surrender.
Buy! Buy everything!
"Qiuqiu?" Mrs. Feng pushed her cart and saw the child in Tao Qiuyun's arms. Her expression changed several times, and she asked curiously, "She is?"
She looked too much like Qiuqiu!
Tao Qiuyun hadn't expected to run into Mrs. Feng here, but now that her unreliable mother knew about her and Qin Qingshang, she didn't need to hide it from her mother's friends anymore, constantly worrying they might spill the beans.
The woman held the little cat with one arm and turned the shopping cart with the other, smiling, "Auntie Feng, this is my daughter."
"Ah? Ah, ah!" Mrs. Feng seemed frozen for a long time before finally reacting: "No, this, this child, must be four or five years old, right?"
"Almost five," Tao Qiuyun turned her head to look at her daughter in her arms, "Come, say hello to Grandma Feng."
"Hello, Grandma Feng~" The little one's voice was sweet, and her innocent look easily won people over.
But Mrs. Feng was currently only shocked, "You... how do you have such a big child? Aren't you single?"
"Auntie Feng, I'm actually married."
"You said before you were..." Mrs. Feng recalled and asked, "Who was that girl back then?"
"My wife," Tao Qiuyun answered her. "At that time, Auntie Feng, you asked if she was my girlfriend. She wasn't, she was my wife, a closer relationship than a girlfriend."
She was sure Mrs. Feng hadn't seen Qin Qingshang's face, so admitting it wouldn't hurt.
"You child, why are you hiding your marriage, and your daughter is already this old," Mrs. Feng felt a bit awkward and asked with concern, "If you had said so earlier, we wouldn't have insisted on introducing you to people. No wonder none of the introductions worked out. Did your wife not argue with you about this?"
"No, choosing to keep the marriage private was a decision we made together," Tao Qiuyun smiled.
"Where is she from? Did you meet her during those years abroad?"
"We met abroad," Tao Qiuyun lowered her gaze. "She's also in Tianhua City now."
"You child, I didn't expect good girl Qiuqiu to quietly drop such a bomb on us. Does your mother know?"
"She knows."
After a brief chat with Mrs. Feng, they ended with "If there's a chance, bring your wife out to play."
Mrs. Feng was very respectful and knew she wanted to keep the marriage private, so she didn't press further about who her wife was.
Back at the hotel, Tao Qiuyun was carrying a lot of snacks, so the little cat was considerate and didn't fuss about being carried. Instead, she stood by her side, holding onto her clothes, following closely.
Seeing her daughter's well-behaved appearance, Tao Qiuyun swiped the card, pressed the corresponding floor in the elevator, and said to her, "Qinqin is so good today!"
"Will you play puzzles with me?" The cat looked up at her. "Little Uncle fell asleep while playing last time."
"Yes, we won't play with Little Uncle anymore."
"No, Little Uncle buys Qinqin fries~"
"I'll buy you fries too," Tao Qiuyun gestured to the bags in her hand, "Bought lots of food."
"Then when Mama comes back," the little one looked a little worried, "Will she be angry if she sees so many snacks?"
"Why would she be angry?" Tao Qiuyun didn't understand.
"Because..." The little cat hesitated.
Finally, she said it, "Before when Qinqin was with Mama, Mama wouldn't let Auntie Wen give Qinqin snacks. She said they were junk food and not good for children to eat too much."
Tao Qiuyun: "...Why didn't you tell me something so important earlier?"
She had bought a pile of snacks. Would Qin Qingshang think she was harming her daughter?
The little cat drooped her head, looking very regretful, and said to the System:
"LOL, if I had told her, how could I have gotten snacks!"
The System was speechless: "Are you sure you're helping them?"
Tao Aiqin: "Of course! It helps them and satisfies my craving, it's a win-win!"
System: "..." You better be a win-win!
After getting off the elevator, Tao Qiuyun walked towards the room with her daughter, but she stopped when she saw the slightly ajar door.
Tao Aiqin also noticed this and thought for a moment, but still clutched the woman's clothes: "Mama's room door, why is it open?"
Tao Qiuyun frowned and put the snack bags on the floor. "Qinqin, be good and watch the snacks here, okay?"
"What about you?" The little one stared at her.
"I'll go see what's going on." Tao Qiuyun settled her down and added, "Don't run around, or Mama will hit you."
Seeing the little cat nod, she walked towards Qin Qingshang's room.
It was only a little past ten in the morning. If it were room service, there would be no need to leave the door ajar. If the door was simply not closed properly, there would be a chime. This situation, with the door ajar and quiet, was a bit like...
Tao Qiuyun's footsteps were very light, and with the carpet in the hallway, she made almost no sound. She reached out and touched the doorknob, her eyes darkening.
Sure enough, the lock was broken.
But Qin Qingshang had just left the hotel this morning. If the door wasn't working, she would have definitely noticed.
Daring to break the lock in broad daylight, had the surveillance also malfunctioned?
On the other hand, did the perpetrator know this was a room rented long-term by a female celebrity, and that room service wouldn't come to clean on their own, which is why they were so bold?
The woman's face darkened slightly, instantly radiating a chilling aura. She took out her phone, dialed Wang Huai's number, then decisively pushed open the door and walked in openly.
Qin Qingshang's room was quite large; the main bed was around a small corner. The two suitcases in the room were wide open, facing the wardrobe. A tall man was holding a woman's camisole and sniffing it.
Tao Qiuyun's eyes were like they were soaked in ice water, carrying an unyielding chill. She spoke, "Didn't you hear someone come in?"
The man seemed startled, his whole body trembling. He turned to look at Tao Qiuyun: "Who are you?"
"Who are you?" Tao Qiuyun stared at him intently.
"I'm Qingshang's boyfriend," the man waved her away, "I don't have time to chat with you."
"Boyfriend?" Tao Qiuyun's gaze swept across the room. "How come I didn't know a boyfriend needed to break the lock cylinder to get in? You have tools on you. Even if the surveillance is destroyed, you're caught red-handed."
"You're not her assistant or manager either, are you? You're being nosy!" The man looked at her angrily. "I see you're a woman and pretty. I generally don't hit pretty women, afraid of hurting you. If you don't want to get hit, hurry up and leave."
"You answer me first," Tao Qiuyun's hands were kept behind her back. "Why do you say you're her boyfriend, and why did you pick the lock?"
"Why? Because I like her! I like her very much, I've always liked her!"
"But she doesn't even know me. I sent her flowers, gifts, letters, and she threw them all away! I followed her in my car, but she told her driver to shake me off. Why! I just wanted to see her!"
"But she's willing to smile at everyone, yet she refuses to be with me. She's leading me on! Everyone is right, female celebrities are just after money. They only sleep with rich people! They completely look down on people like us who offer our sincere hearts to them!"
Seeing his somewhat deranged expression, Tao Qiuyun felt her anger intensify. The woman's tone was suppressed, carrying the calm before a storm, "So you snuck into her room? Stole her things?"
"You don't know how beautiful she is. I saw her from afar again last week. She was wearing so little, smiling at those fans who said they loved her, and even hugging them! How indecent, she's hooking up with others while seducing me."
"Seducing?" Tao Qiuyun's body tensed, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Isn't that right? You women are cheap! Don't you know men are full of vigor? We can't handle stimulation, yet you insist on showing your waists and legs. Are you comfortable? You only care about your own happiness! Isn't this seducing me to commit a crime!"
"Yes, you're absolutely right," Tao Qiuyun sneered. She threw her phone onto a pile of clothes nearby and walked forward, her leather shoes making heavy sounds. "She seduced you to commit a crime, and you are also seducing me to commit a crime."
She rolled up her sleeves. The black shirt made the woman's fair skin appear even more like jade, but as the sleeves moved up, her exposed arms showed smooth, powerful lines.
"You want to date me?" The man was surprised.
"Bang—"
With the force of surging anger and a powerful punch, Tao Qiuyun's fist landed heavily on the man's face.
Blood splattered. The sudden intense pain and dizziness made the man cover his nose and cry out as he fell to the ground.
"Your face, your body," Tao Qiuyun looked down at her blood-stained fist, then suddenly curved her lips into a smile. Her eyes were deep and dark, like flowers growing from bones. "Are constantly seducing my fist."
Beautiful, but terrifying.
"CEO Tao! CEO Tao, I'll be there right away, please stay calm!" Wang Huai's voice exclaimed from the phone: "Qiuqiu! Qiuqiu, you must..."
The room was instantly filled with the man's screams. Tao Qiuyun, usually quiet, gentle, and polite, was now unable to contain her rage. It erupted like thunder, pouring out with the ferocity of a raging storm.
When Wang Huai arrived at the scene, the situation was one-sided.
She saw the refined Tao Qiuyun, her gentle image gone, grabbing the man's hair and slamming his head against the floor.
Her usually neat shirt was wrinkled, her meticulous sleeves were undone, and her arm muscles bulged, completely restraining the man's hands. He was utterly helpless.
"Qiuqiu!" Wang Huai quickly stepped forward to stop her. She grabbed one of the woman's arms. "You can't hit him anymore!"
Tao Qiuyun shook off her hand and slowly stood up straight, looking at Wang Huai, her voice somewhat suppressed: "I know what I'm doing. Besides, I can also make him lie in the ICU for the rest of his life and save his life."
"This is a society ruled by law, Qiuqiu. The police will handle it. You don't need to stoop to the level of trash... Watch out!"
The man, who had been beaten for a long time, spat out a mouthful of blood. He finally found a chance to breathe. At this moment, he hated this strange woman in front of him to the extreme. Not only was she strong, but she also seemed to have specifically learned martial arts, pressing him, a tall guy of 1.9 meters (actually 1.85), to the ground and pounding him fiercely, making him unable to breathe.
It was as if his dignity and personality were being trampled on by the woman in front of him. In extreme anger, a person can do anything except think. He finally had a chance to pull out the small knife from his waist and stab it towards Tao Qiuyun with all his might.
The woman moved swiftly to the side, the tip of the knife grazing her face, leaving a bloody mark.
