TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 468: He Never Had a Chance
Li Zhaodi had not expected to hear this. He had thought Shao Qihai would take this opportunity to have them convey kind words to him in front of Mu Jingzhe.
"I think you ... Forget it, I won't say anything else." After seeing Shao Qihai like this, Li Zhaodi knew that it was hopeless and felt bad.
He initially thought that it was only because Jingzhe could not forget Ji Buwang that he kept dragging this out. He thought that, with Shao Qihai guarding him like this, Jingzhe might sort out his thoughts one day. She did not expect Shao Qihai to be interested either.
However, he was clearly interested in her before and had been guarding her all this time. Li Zhaodi could not understand it and said, “Qihai, do you hate Jingzhe's white hair? He can color it back now.”
Shao Qihai was stunned. “No, why me? It's just..” Shao Qihai paused for a moment. “Auntie, I don't mind. I'll jump at that opportunity. It's just that we're not meant to be together.”
Li Zhaodi regretted saying those words. Looking into Shao Qihai's eyes, he knew that what Shao Qihai said was true. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.
“I don't understand what the two of you are thinking.I mispronounced. Don't put in the heart.”
In Li Zhaodi's opinion, if two people were more or less suitable, they could only be satisfied with each other and live together. He didn't think too much about these things. But this time it's not so.
Neither Mu Jingzhe nor Shao Qihai needed to be satisfied with each other.
As Shao Qihai watched Li Zhaodi leave, the corner of his mouth formed a bitter smile. He muttered, “I know we can't be together because he only has Ji Buwang in his heart. He can't let go or forget.”
He had not given up on Jingzhe. He just never had a chance.
He had no chance even before Ji Buwang. How could he have it now with Ji Buwang among them?
He had never mentioned this before, afraid it would be difficult for them to meet again.
Coincidentally, after meeting Li Zhaodi, when Shao Qihai returned home, he saw the children also returning. “Wait for me a minute. I'll be preparing dinner soon.”
Shao Qihai was now proficient at cooking. Although her culinary skills could not compare to Mu Jingzhe, she was not bad either. He wore an apron and was busy, while Shao Dong helped from the side. The latter suddenly asked, “Dad, are you not planning to get married? On the way back just now, an aunt next to me asked about you. ”
“I am 40 years old. You are an adult now. Why should I get married again?”
“That's because we're adults so you can find an old partner.” Shao Dong sighed. "Mother isn't looking for a partner, neither are you."
“Isn't it a good thing that I didn't find a stepmother for you? Why are you in such a hurry to get a stepmother? Do you think everyone is as good as your Mom? Aren't you afraid your life will fall apart?”
“Now after you mention it, it seems we do not know what is good for us.” Shao Dong looked at Shao Qihai. “What you say makes sense. However, when Mommy watches television, she says that it makes no sense for a loyal male support character to stay single forever. I totally agree with that. So Dad, you can't think too much about it. Don't hold back when meeting the right person.”
“Why did you suddenly become such a lobbyist today? I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about it.”
Shao Qihai knew what Mu Jingzhe meant. It makes no sense for a loyal male supporting character to not get married for the rest of his life. She agreed with him, but she never felt that he was a loyal male supporting character. He just doesn't want to get married because he's tired.
More importantly, it wasn't like she didn't want to get married. He's been married twice.
He did not even take care of his two wives despite being married twice. What right does she have to marry again?
He's not in the mood for that anymore. He does not want to disturb the peace at home with a new marriage. Instead, she wanted to live comfortably with the children around her and take care of Jingzhe.
She did not deny that, in her heart, she sometimes wished Jingzhe would think things through and they would reignite their previous relationship, but she also knew that it was impossible.
Shao Qihai had always been this aware, but sometimes being too aware was not necessarily a good thing. It makes people not even able to dream.
Seeing that the children had so much free time that they wanted to interfere in his affairs, Shao Qihai paused for a moment and added some chili on the plate, managed to spice up Little Bei and the boys' food.
"Dad, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" The five children ate very happily, but they really felt the spiciness of the food.
"No, I accidentally added too much." Shao Qihai was calm.
Little Bei understood when he saw Shao Qihai's expression. "Good." He sighed and suddenly called her 'Dad'. Shao Qihai raised his head reflexively and saw Little Bei suddenly cry.
Shao Qihai: “!!!”
Shao Qihai wiped his tears awkwardly. “By small!”
Little Bei laughed. "If you season our food, I'll make you cry."
The secret that Shao Qihai could not bear to see tears was finally revealed. Little Bei was the most mischievous. She was an actress to begin with, and tears came to her naturally whenever she wanted to. Every now and then, he made Shao Qihai cry.
Shao Qihai was almost infatuated with him, but there were also benefits. When she feels depressed and uncomfortable, actually crying is pretty good.
Therefore, when Little Bei was naughty, it was also when he felt the most depressed. After Ji Buwang died, when he saw Mu Jingzhe's hair whiten, he relied on ventilation to survive. At that moment, Little Bei had forced her to watch the movie she was playing, giving her a reason to vent it.
This time, Little Bei seemed to have heard something and deliberately came to tease her again. Everyone says that girls are the little cotton-coated jackets of their fathers. This saying is true. Countless times, Shao Qihai was happy to have Little Bei as his little cotton-coated jacket.
It was not that Shao Dong and the others were not kind, but the thought of having five boys was quite frightening. It is best to have a daughter as well.
Although Shao Qihai was conscious, being sober did not mean he was heartless. That doesn't mean that he won't feel bad either. After being ridiculed by Little Bei until he was forced to cry, he felt a little better.
Then, he who was originally not appetite, felt hungry after crying. So he decided to eat more. Shao Qihai went to scoop the rice with red eyes and glanced again at the brand name 'Good Mommy' in the rice cooker.
This is a new brand launched by Shao Dong company in the last two years. 'Good Brother' is now famous in the country and has become a household name. Both adults and children can recite the brand's advertising slogans. If one mentioned a slogan, the brand of 'Good Brother' would appear in his mind.
In addition to continuing to sell washing machines and refrigerators, they also launched other equipment. Previously, they have launched electric rice cooker and electromagnetic stove. This time, the sentence was not 'Good Brother' but 'Good Mommy'.
Shao Dong had not talked about it with Mu Jingzhe and his brothers. He felt that this was a very suitable name for a rice cooker, as it implied that the rice cooked by this rice cooker was as delicious as the rice cooked by a mother.
That's not an exaggeration, but the birthmark is not bad.
After its launch, its sales were outstanding and its reputation was outstanding. Once again, this tool enters thousands of households.
Shao Qihai did not need to buy it. Once the product comes out, it is sent to him. When he saw this brand name, he felt it was quite good. Of course, he did not dare to ask if there would be a 'Good Daddy' brand name in his life as well.
He felt that there was a high chance that it would not happen, so he did not ask to shy away from humiliation.
The five children stayed at Shao Qihai's place for two days.. When Mu Jingzhe returned, they came back to see him.
