Although Chu's mother had not contacted him since that day, Chu Qing remained vigilant. He did not believe that given how much his mother cared about Chu Ming, she would let the matter rest.
Sometimes emotions are truly inexplicable; in many situations, they can completely change a person, causing them to lose their rationality and seemingly gain the courage to do anything.
Chu Qing, as the one who was hurt, naturally felt disgusted by Chu's mother. However, Chu Ming, who was also favored by Chu's mother, would definitely think that Chu's mother was a rare and good mother.
If it's on the premise of not harming others, Chu Qing would actually like to applaud them.
However, no news came through, so Chu Qing focused all her attention on Xia Xia. The little tiger had been well taken care of, and now that she had her own company, her mental state seemed completely different from before.
Recently, Zai Zai hasn't been as obedient as before. When Chu Qing took him to the doctor for a checkup, the doctor said it was because his teeth were almost fully erupted, which caused those areas to itch.
Before his teeth came in, the nanny could easily grind up the jerky that the baby needed to eat.
But now her teeth have started to sprout white tips. When Xiaxia's teeth are too itchy, she can bite the jerky in half with just a little force.
Although Chu Qing was trying her best to take care of the baby, she could still often see him chewing on things.
Sometimes, I would just turn my head to get something, and when I looked back, my little one would have already started chewing on the furniture.
Chu Qing saw the little tiger biting the sofa again, walked over and hugged it.
When Xiaxia saw her father coming, she felt guilty and buried her head in his arms, humming softly. Although she was not convinced, she knew that she had done wrong and wanted to use her coquettishness to avoid punishment.
Chu Qing reached out and gently tapped his head, asking helplessly:
"How many times have I told you not to eat these things?"
The little tiger didn't realize that his father was scolding him; instead, he thought that his father might genuinely not know.
He remembered some of it, so he stretched out his paws and started gesturing to his father, making "ah-woo" noises as he did so.
The little tiger thought his dad had told him so many times, and that his memory was amazing. He gently nudged his dad's arm with his paw, as if waiting for praise.
Chu Qing was rendered speechless by his appearance. She rubbed her temples and said in a low voice:
"You can't bite things randomly next time. The doctor said that it's bad for your teeth development."
Just then, there were pomegranates in the fruit bowl on the coffee table. Chu Qing held Xia Xia in her arms to keep him from running around, picked up a pomegranate and broke it open.
The little tiger didn't quite understand his father's purpose in doing this, and tilted his head slightly in confusion.
Chu Qing was quite strong, so peeling a pomegranate wasn't a difficult task for him.
"If you keep chewing on things indiscriminately, your teeth might end up like this in the future."
The pomegranate was so fresh that you could see the arrangement of the seeds on it. It startled a certain little tiger cub, who suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and stared wide-eyed for a long time.
"Huh?"
"Yes, it really will."
After raising the cub for so long, Chu Qing has developed a certain understanding with the little tiger, and simple communication is no problem.
I don't know if he was scared or if the little one really didn't want his teeth to look like that in the future, but he definitely didn't mess around with them again.
Chu Qing often saw this little tiger staring fiercely at the things he used to gnaw on at home.
With that fierce look, it was as if he had already eaten it himself after being fierce.
Tiger cubs develop differently than humans, so Chu Qing had to apply some medicine to their newly emerging white and tender teeth every night to ensure their healthy growth.
My child has been suffering a lot lately; he's upset when his teeth itch and he's upset when they don't.
Unlike before, he is no longer as lively and active. Most of the time, he prefers to stay in a corner by himself, looking aggrieved as he waits for his father to finish his work and come over to hug him.
Chu Qing admitted that he really fell for the act of playing the victim, and he felt a little sorry for his son every time he saw him looking aggrieved.
Even if she has other things to do, she will choose to come and spend time with her baby first, or simply put Xiaxia in her arms.
Xiaxia seemed to find relief from a lot of pain whenever she was with her father.
Even when Dad isn't paying attention to him, this little tiger can still be very happy.
Chu Qing was busy with something tricky and was just about to think it over when he saw a little tiger lying on the table slowly moving to his arm in what he thought was a very discreet way.
He probably hadn't noticed these things before because he was focused on his work.
Today's scene unfolded right before his eyes, which made Chu Qing understand why, every time he finished his work, the tiger's head would immediately appear in his palm.
It seems that this little guy had already made ample preparations before he even reached out, always ready to be touched.
This time was no exception. The little guy, whose attention had been on his father, saw that his father was no longer busy, so he waved his paws even more vigorously and quickly climbed to his father's side.
Chu Qing didn't let down this hardworking little guy. She reached out and patted him for a while, until she realized that time was running out, and then she withdrew her hand.
The little guy seemed a bit disappointed that his dad was going to be busy with work so soon. He hummed softly, looking somewhat unwilling, as if he wanted to try to get his dad's attention back in his own way.
"Wait until I'm done with my work."
Chu Qing had just finished speaking, and before the little tiger could respond, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded at the door, followed by the butler walking in with a flustered expression.
This appearance gave Chu Qing a bad feeling.
"Sir, something has happened to the Marshal."
Chapter 94
Chu Qing subconsciously didn't want to think about what might have happened to Wei Yutang. They had just contacted each other not long ago and said that after he came back, he would take Xia Xia to play somewhere else.
Forcing himself to calm down, he picked up the little tiger cub, who was still pawing at the air, and carried it outside, asking:
"What happened?"
Wei Yutang was exceptionally handsome with a cold demeanor. In addition, he was the marshal of the empire. Logically speaking, no matter what, everyone should avoid him like the plague when he planned to undergo gene matching.
The only reason is that he was injured during a mission and his mental energy could go berserk at any time.
When his mental energy surges, Wei Yutang loses all reason, and his power becomes a sharp knife that can harm people at any time.
"The Marshal's mental energy has gone berserk."
The butler's face turned slightly pale as he said this. The marshal had been perfectly fine until now, and he never expected this to happen suddenly.
Where is he now? Can I go see him?
The little tiger had heard people talk about how terrifying his father's mental energy could be when it went berserk. His father had also told him in private that if his father ever went berserk, he must keep a close eye on his father and not let him get close.
The tiger cub had barely stretched out its paws when Chu Qing saw through its intentions and turned to lock Xia Xia in the room.
The little one watched helplessly as the door closed in front of him. He pressed his face against the glass door, pounding on it with a look of resentment, and howling angrily.
"Be good, I'll see you when I get back."
Upon hearing this, the tiger cub became even less obedient. His father had told him how terrifying a mental outburst could be. The fur around his eyes had begun to moisten slightly, and the cub looked extremely uncomfortable.
He was afraid that if he didn't follow now, he would never see his father again.
"Yes, sir, but..."
When they got married, Wei Yutang shared all his privileges with Chu Qing. In other words, wherever he could go, Chu Qing could go too.
However, the butler had never considered the possibility that Chu Qing might want to go along. They had all seen how much the master disliked the marshal.
"Take me there, and have someone keep an eye on Xiaxia. Don't let him come along."
Upon hearing this, the little tiger pounded on the glass door even harder. A nanny went in and held his little paws in her palm to prevent them from hurting from pounding too fast.
Chu Qing chose to go see Wei Yutang for two reasons: firstly, because Wei Yutang was the object of his affections, and secondly, because he was another father to his son.
Even if it were as terrifying as the rumors suggested, he would still be willing to go.
But the little one is still too young; I can't let him share this risk with me.
"Yes, sir."
On his way back after completing his mission, the marshal suddenly experienced a mental outburst. Fortunately, he was accompanied by many subordinates who quickly took him to their usual residence.
There is a room there, built specifically for the marshal, which can withstand most attacks and briefly control the marshal for a period of time.
Unfortunately, the marshal's strength was simply too great. During a previous mental outburst, he destroyed what was said to be the most sturdy room in the entire interstellar space in just one hour.
When Chu Qing was taken there, all of Wei Yutang's subordinates looked rather nervous. The marshal's strength had improved recently, and this time he might not even be able to last an hour.
There were doctors waiting on the side, but they didn't dare to get close.
"Mr. Chu, what brings you here?"
These subordinates were well aware that there was no affection between the Marshal and Mr. Chu; their interactions were entirely due to that absurd genetic matching.
"I've come to see him. May I go in now?"
As Chu Qing said this, her hand was already on the doorknob.
"Mr. Chu, we do not recommend that you go in now."
One of his subordinates saw Chu Qing like this and hurriedly tried to stop him. When the marshal's mental energy surged, he would lose all his rationality, and no one could guarantee what he would do in a moment of impulse.
For this reason, even the doctors stayed to the side and dared not approach, let alone anyone else.
I want to see him.
On his way here, Chu Qing found something that could be considered somewhat useful from the original owner's memories.
His compatibility with Wei Yutang is extremely high, practically 100%. Under certain specific circumstances, his mental strength has the ability to soothe Wei Yutang.
It's a pity that the original owner grew up on a desolate planet and didn't get to be exposed to those courses when she was young.
With limited mental energy, and using it would be extremely strenuous, even Chu Qing himself wasn't sure if it would be effective.
"No, Mr. Chu."
The adjutant had barely uttered his words of protest when he saw Chu Qing press the doorknob and go inside. The door opened briefly before slamming shut again.
Chu Qing was stunned when she heard the loud slam of the door closing. She glanced at it subconsciously before quickly looking away.
The room was pitch black, almost to the point where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. The darkness concealed the unknown, making one feel uneasy and uncontrollably. Chu Qing's heart began to race, completely beyond her control.
Just as Chu Qing was feeling nervous, his hand was suddenly grabbed, which startled him so much that his hair stood on end.
"you……"
"Chu Qing".
The familiar voice made Chu Qing instantly give up the idea of struggling, and the rationality she had lost due to tension gradually returned.
