The Crematorium of the Top Omega Chasing After Alpha - Chapter 20.2

Ming Yu sighed helplessly and tried to coax her, “Song Song…”

“Bad Mommy, don’t touch me!” the little girl stubbornly muttered. “Who told you to yell at me? If you don’t like me, I won’t like you either!”

Ming Yu had no choice but to soften her tone. “Song Song, how could Mommy not like you?”

“Hmph, I don’t believe you!” The little girl pouted and glared at her, puffing her cheeks angrily. “Bad Mommy! You want to find me a stepmother, I’m not talking to you anymore!”

With that, she ran off.

Ming Yu stood frozen for a second before snapping back to reality and quickly chasing after her, catching the little one at the door.

“Song Song, you’ve misunderstood. Mommy never thought that way,” she patiently explained.

The little girl squirmed and grumbled in protest, so Ming Yu simply scooped her up horizontally.

“Bad Mommy! Let me go!” Song Song struggled, shouting, “Bad Mommy, put me down, put me down…”

Ming Yu held on until she saw tears welling in the child’s eyes, forcing her to release her.

“Don’t cry! I admit I was wrong, okay? Please stop crying, Song Song?”

“Waaah!”

Seeing the little one cry so pitifully tugged at Ming Yu’s heart. She could only hold her and clumsily try to soothe her.

Butler Su, hearing the commotion, rushed over and was stunned by the scene.

His general had always been known for her stern, unsmiling, and aloof demeanor, when had she ever been so gentle and flustered?

At that moment, Butler Su truly didn’t know how to describe what he was feeling.

The situation was honestly a bit awkward.

He could only approach carefully and help calm the child. After a long while, Song Song’s sobs gradually subsided.

Once she had cried her fill, Song Song looked up at Ming Yu and declared, “I don’t want a stepmother! Go away!”

“Who said I was getting you a stepmother?” Ming Yu’s face darkened considerably.

The little girl snorted. “Bad Mommy, you only know how to bully me. I want my mom!”

Ming Yu was left speechless. “Stop throwing a tantrum. I’m not getting you a stepmother.”

Song Song’s big, teary eyes stared at her, still seemingly unconvinced.

Mingyu had no choice but to patiently coax her for a long while before finally getting the whole story out of Song Song. Her face turned ashen with anger.

“Song Qingpei, you’re really something.”

Hearing her call her mother’s name so harshly, Song Song was displeased. “Don’t shout at Mom like that!”

Seeing how fiercely she was defending Song Qingpei, Mingyu was so furious she didn’t know what to say.

What had that woman done to make Song Song protect her like this?

After a moment’s thought, Mingyu finally said, “Song Song, listen to me. Mommy won’t find you a stepmother. Your mother is lying to you.”

“Mom wouldn’t lie to me!”

Song Song immediately became upset, clenching her little fists and glaring at Mingyu with wide, angry eyes.

Mingyu was so infuriated by her expression that she felt like she was about to explode, her rationality slowly slipping away.

“Your mother is lying to you!” Mingyu repeated.

“No, Mom wouldn’t lie to me!” the little one stubbornly insisted.

Mingyu: “…”

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and tried to reason with the child in a steady tone.

“Song Song, please believe Mommy, okay? Mommy really won’t find you a stepmother. On the other hand, your mother is more likely to find you one.”

Song Song exploded at this. “You’re lying! Mom wouldn’t find me a stepmother!”

Not wanting to create a rift between her and her daughter, Mingyu steeled herself and said, “Song Song, your mother might have another partner in the future, and she might even have other children.”

At these words, Song Song, who had just stopped crying, burst into tears again. “Waaah! Mommy is lying! Mom wouldn’t find me a stepmother, Mom wouldn’t find me a stepmother.”

This time, her crying was uncontrollable, and no amount of comforting could calm her down.

Mingyu was completely at a loss.

A wave of helplessness washed over her. She rubbed her temples, unsure of what to do.

When Song Qingpei returned, she found Mingyu sitting on the living room sofa, looking utterly dejected, while their daughter sat beside her with her head bowed, occasionally letting out a sob, looking utterly heartbroken.

Song Qingpei was startled. “What happened?”

Seeing her return, Song Song immediately jumped off the sofa and threw herself into her arms, complaining tearfully, “Mom, Mommy bullied me!”

Hearing this, Song Qingpei’s expression darkened, and she looked sharply at Mingyu.

“She’s a bad mommy!” Song Song accused Mingyu. “She said you’re going to find me a stepmother. I don’t want a stepmother! I don’t want a stepmother. Waaah!”

Hearing her daughter’s heart-wrenching sobs, Song Qingpei’s heart ached even more.

She quickly held her daughter close, patting her back to comfort her. “There, there, don’t cry. Mom won’t find you a stepmother.”

Then, she looked up at Mingyu and frowned. “What exactly is going on?”

“That’s what I should be asking you,” Mingyu retorted irritably.

Song Qingpei was taken aback, completely confused.

Mingyu took a deep breath to suppress her anger. “Song Qingpei, what do you gain from this?”

“What do you mean?” Song Qingpei asked, still puzzled.

“Don’t play dumb,” Mingyu scoffed. “Why are you trying to drive a wedge between me and Song Song? Spreading rumors that I’m going to find her a stepmother?”

Realizing what Mingyu meant, Song Qingpei was about to retort when she noticed Song Song nervously watching them with wide eyes, afraid their argument would scare her. She quickly stopped herself from saying anything more.

After she had soothed Songsong and had Steward Su take her upstairs, Song Qingpei looked directly at Ming Yu and calmly explained, “Since you’ve already gone on blind dates, marriage is inevitable sooner or later. I just wanted Songsong to accept this reality early.”

Hearing her speak so composedly about the matter, Ming Yu felt a pang of suffocation. After a long pause, she gritted her teeth and said, “But I never agreed to it!”

“What difference does agreeing or not make?” Song Qingpei said indifferently. “You’ll get married eventually anyway. If not this Miss Song, it’ll be some other woman. There’s not much difference, really. As long as Songsong stays with you, she’ll have to face this sooner or later.”

Ming Yu fell silent, her expression frighteningly gloomy.

She wasn’t even angry because Song Qingpei had spoken ill of her to their daughter. Instead, she felt an indescribable fear.

Song Qingpei seemed to have already calmly accepted that she would marry someone else without the slightest surprise, sadness, disappointment, or pain.

Did she not care at all anymore?

Or had she long since made plans to leave, eagerly wanting to draw a clear line between them and start her own new life?

This realization left Ming Yu at a loss. Almost instinctively, she resisted it.

She didn’t dare think further. Instead, she grabbed Song Qingpei’s wrist, her voice trembling slightly. “Song Qingpei, Songsong is still young. I promise I won’t marry anyone else. And you’re not allowed to either, understand?”

Song Qingpei hadn’t expected such a sudden move from her. After a moment of surprise, she calmly asked, “How long does your promise last? A year? Three years? Five years? Or…”

“I won’t get married again!” Ming Yu urgently declared her stance.

This truly shocked Song Qingpei.

“Are you sure?” Song Qingpei sounded somewhat skeptical.

Ming Yu nodded solemnly. “Yes, I’m sure! I won’t get married again!”

“Is that so…” After a moment’s thought, Song Qingpei nodded. “Then I misunderstood you. I apologize, and I’ll explain it clearly to Songsong.”

“Huh?” Ming Yu looked at her.

Waiting for her to make the same promise that she wouldn’t marry another Omega.

Song Qingpei looked at her in confusion, seemingly not grasping her meaning.

Ming Yu frowned, a wave of irritation rising in her heart. Unable to help herself, she coldly said, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

The question caught Song Qingpei off guard. “About what?”

“…”

Ming Yu’s expression turned extremely unpleasant.

Seeing her remain silent, Song Qingpei didn’t bother guessing and said directly, “Let’s go. We should explain things to Songsong before she starts crying again.”

Seeing her play dumb, Ming Yu sneered angrily. “Song Qingpei, have you forgotten something?”

“Hmm?” Song Qingpei looked at her, puzzled.

Ming Yu finally couldn’t hold back her anger. “I’ve already promised not to marry again for Songsong’s sake. What about you?”

Understanding her concern, Song Qingpei said, “Don’t worry, I would never hurt Songsong. This time, I really didn’t think it through carefully. I’ll be more considerate in the future. I hope we can coexist peacefully and provide Songsong with a healthy and happy environment to grow up in.”

“So? Will you get married or not?”

Ming Yu completely ignored her attempt at reconciliation, pressing step by step, demanding a clear answer.

Song Qingpei didn’t actually have plans to remarry, but she felt that matters of the heart were unpredictable. Who knew what might happen in the future? Even Ming Yu’s claim that she would never marry again Song Qingpei didn’t quite believe it.

Moreover, she genuinely longed for the warmth of family, so she replied candidly, “I think there’s no need to say too much about this kind of matter. Even if you really want to get married, as long as Song Song can gradually accept it, it shouldn’t be a problem. We just need to make sure we don’t hurt Song Song, isn’t that, right?”

Upon hearing this, Ming Yu was instantly seething with rage.

So this woman really does have plans to marry someone else. Is it because she sees no hope here with me, that she’s ready to let go and seek a new branch to cling to?

The thought of this possibility made Ming Yu tremble with rage.

Song Qingpei had no idea what she was angry about this time and said impatiently, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to check on Song Song.”

With that, she stood up and headed upstairs.

Watching her retreating figure, a blazing fury ignited in Ming Yu’s chest. She desperately wanted to rush over, grab her by the shoulders, and force her to say the words she longed to hear.

But in the end, she held back.

Taking a deep breath, Ming Yu struggled to calm her indignation, forcing herself not to act impulsively.

Perhaps this woman was playing hard to get, just to gain more leverage in their negotiations. She couldn’t afford to lose her composure.

After finally steadying her emotions, Ming Yu slowly made her way upstairs.

She didn’t know what Song Qingpei had said to Song Song, but the little girl no longer seemed to reject her.

“Mommy~”

Seeing Ming Yu arrive, Song Song called out to her.

Ming Yu walked over and gently patted her little head. “Is Song Song not angry anymore?”

Song Song puffed out her cheeks sheepishly and whispered, “Song Song won’t call you a bad mommy anymore~”

Ming Yu smiled softly. “Song Song is such a good girl.”

Song Song looked at her with a giggle and suddenly reached out to tug at the hem of her clothes.

Ming Yu was taken aback for a moment before leaning down to look at her.

“What is it, Song Song?”

Song Song immediately said, “Song Song wants a kiss and a hug from Mommy~”

Completely disarmed by her adorable antics, Ming Yu quickly bent down to pick her up.

Seeing this, Song Song closed her eyes contentedly, a bright smile spreading across her lips.

Unable to resist, Ming Yu planted a kiss on her forehead, displaying a rare tenderness.

Witnessing the scene, a complex light flickered in Song Qingpei’s eyes, and an indescribable feeling stirred in her heart.

Things could never go back to how they were before, but at least she could provide her daughter with a harmonious family atmosphere.
