The Curse of Desire-Chapter 147. Gold-digger widow (2) Knocking on the next door

Taking care of a baby was exhausting. In just one night, Bai Qiuyi woke up several times to feed the baby and change her diaper. She found herself missing the previous worlds. After the baby was born, a maternity nurse took care of everything, so she didn’t have to worry at all 1. Bai Qiuyi felt she should find someone to marry as soon as possible.

Hmm? She suddenly realized she had been influenced by the original owner. Reflecting on it, Bai Qiuyi decided there was no need to suppress this thought. After all, everyone has different aspirations. Since she was using the original owner’s body and empathizing with her2, she might as well go with the flow.

Thinking this way, she saw that her previously perceived vanity and indulgence had turned into advantages. She took the child out of the living room and placed her in the stroller. Bai Qiuyi pushed it to the door of the kitchen and entered the room.

The original owner didn’t know how to cook before her marriage, but she learned after she got married because her husband said his father had very high standards for food. If she could cook well, it would help her win his father’s favor. The original owner was convinced and put in a lot of effort to learn, resulting in quite good cooking skills.

Bai Qiuyi sliced some tomatoes and added them to the nearly-cooked noodles. Once the noodles were done, she brought them out of the kitchen. If it were the original owner, she wouldn’t be in a hurry to eat noodles at this time but would carefully apply expensive hand cream. The original owner was meticulous about her appearance, evident from her inability to accept ageing and her subsequent suicide.

Bai Qiuyi sat at the dining table, looked at the steaming bowl of noodles, picked up her chopsticks, and resisted the urge to apply hand cream. Since Bai Qiuyi had taken over this body, its functions were fixed. No matter how rough she might be, the body would eventually return to Bai Qiuyi’s original state. However, the original owner’s obsession with maintenance lingered, causing Bai Qiuyi to constantly think about it.

After finishing the noodles, Bai Qiuyi looked at the baby in the stroller and took the bowl back to the kitchen. A few days ago, the original owner had gone for a full-body check-up, and the results were expected today. The original owner wanted this test to prove she was healthy, so the employer who asked her to breastfeed the child would be reassured. Bai Qiuyi considered this and asked the system for information about her daughter’s father-in-law.

Gender: Male

Name: Feng Xing

Age: 30

No relationship history

He co-founded a security company three years ago and now owns a house, a car, and has savings of over five million yuan.

Bai Qiuyi’s initial reaction was that this amount was too little, a notion influenced by the original owner. Considering the original owner’s spending level after her second marriage, Feng Xing’s assets seemed minor, barely enough to buy a few sets of clothes for her. But for Bai Qiuyi, it was quite a substantial amount. The apartment she currently lived in was rented by her husband. After his death, the insurance company paid over 300,000 yuan in compensation, and he left over 70,000 yuan to the original owner. However, the original owner, angered by the betrayal, spent the money shopping and now had only tens of thousands left.

She lived in a rented house but looked down on Feng Xing’s rented place. Though she considered him beneath her, she admitted he was her type—tall, strong, and seemingly reliable. Too bad he was a good-for-nothing.

Bai Qiuyi took the child and went to get the physical examination report. In the hot, dry July weather, she sweat even from a short walk outside. The original owner had a car left by her husband. Although Bai Qiuyi could drive, she didn’t have a license and felt uncomfortable driving with the baby alone. Instead, she arranged an online ride to take her to the hospital.

Upon returning with the report, Bai Qiuyi was drenched in sweat and exhausted. Her apartment was on the fifth floor of a six-story building with no elevator, making the climb with a baby quite difficult. Bai Qiuyi removed her sweat-soaked top and underwear, finding the breast pads completely soaked. She had squeezed milk before leaving, and since Bai Qiuyi’s use of this body increased milk production, the milk was secreted even more quickly. As she squeezed milk from one breast, an idea struck her. She needed to find a man to help her with it.

Feng Xing’s image came to mind again.

Since he had become an obsession for the original owner, Bai Qiuyi wasn’t surprised by the thought. After expressing milk, Bai Qiuyi took a bath and prepared some food. After a nap, Bai Qiuyi dressed up a bit and knocked on the door next door.

The buildings in her community had only two units per floor. Bai Qiuyi’s and Feng Xing’s doors were side by side. She knocked three times and waited. After a while, a voice asked who it was. It was a woman’s voice—Mrs. Lin, the nanny for Feng Xing.

“Sister-in-law Lin, I’m Qiaoqiao’s mother from next door,” Bai Qiuyi spoke softly.

Qiaoqiao was the name of the original owner’s child. The original owner had occasionally chatted with Mrs. Lin, so when she heard Bai Qiuyi, she opened the door. A kind-hearted middle-aged woman held a baby boy in her arms. This boy, sharing the same name as the original owner’s son-in-law, would be the future husband of the original owner’s daughter.

Bai Qiuyi knew from her information that this child was not Feng Xing’s but his sister’s, being raised in his name for some reason. Feng Xing had hired a nanny due to a lack of care for the child.

“Sister-in-law Lin, I hope I’m not bothering you,” Bai Qiuyi said.

“No, no,” Mrs. Lin replied, “What can I do for you?”

“It’s nothing serious. I bought a lot of longans while out and realized I can’t eat them all by myself. If you don’t mind, I’d love to share them with you. I even chilled them,” Bai Qiuyi offered with a slight, somewhat forced smile.

Mrs. Lin looked at her with a touch of pity. She usually took care of her child and enjoyed chatting with other mothers. She knew the situation next door and felt Bai Qiuyi, widowed and in need, was quite pitiable.

“Oh, it’s not a problem,” Mrs Lin consoled, assuming Bai Qiuyi had bought logans for two people but forgot her husband was no longer here. “These chilled longans are perfect for this hot weather. Thank you so much, Qiaoqiao’s Mom.”

“You’re welcome,” Bai Qiuyi replied with a warm smile. She looked like the perfect devoted wife and mother. “If you have time, you’re welcome to come over for a bite. I also made some ice powder that’s perfect for cooling off.”

Mrs. Lin accepted the invitation, feeling no need to be guarded. Though she had heard that Qiaoqiao’s mother was somewhat vain before, Mrs. Lin’s perception of her softened now, given the circumstances. Bai Qiuyi was unaware of Mrs. Lin’s thoughts. Although the original owner usually pretended that she was not a vain woman, sometimes she would still be exposed when talking to others. But once she wanted to be friends with someone, it was hard to resist her.

1、must be referring to the lives she lived as a woman! all her previous MLs were wealthy men lol

2、Remember she has a skill that lets her feel and think everything that the original did
