Chapter 1080 - 412: Urging Marriage? Urging for a Baby!

~5 min read 915 words

Discovering Qin Miao’s less than honorable tactics, the three naturally wanted to retaliate immediately.

However, Qin Miao’s position was indeed a bit too high, and their retaliation could only manage to drench Qin Miao’s chest with drinks, not quite reaching his face and head.

Then Leclerc acted dishonorably, circling around and chasing after Qin Miao from the right side with a bottle of champagne, starting to spray him.

The other two followed the example and rushed from the right side to soak Qin Miao as well.

Amidst Qin Miao’s curses, the four of them stood together on the highest podium for a photo, marking the end of the Austrian Grand Prix.

Qin Miao’s team, Mercedes, had undoubtedly achieved a great victory.

The next Grand Prix will be in two weeks, at the French Grand Prix, meaning Qin Miao and his team can enjoy a substantial break.

After the celebration ended and scheduling dinner with Leclerc for the next Sunday, Qin Miao gathered his belongings and went back to the team’s P room.

By then, the P room was already packed, with everyone lined up at the entrance, waiting for the champion’s triumphant return.

As soon as Qin Miao appeared at the door, everyone applauded.

Many people also pointed cameras and phones directly at Qin Miao to capture the moment.

Having gotten used to these lenses, Qin Miao straightforwardly chose to ignore them.

Once inside the team’s P room, the staff, naturally, celebrated once more.

Qin Miao enjoyed himself among them, and then all the team staff in attendance that week gathered for a group photo, marking the end of the Austrian Grand Prix.

On the day the race ended, Qin Miao took his mom to the team’s dinner in the evening.

After dinner, Qin Miao was ready to leave immediately. Back-to-back races, one of which was on the team’s home track, had not physically tired him, but he was mentally a bit fatigued.

However, his mom didn’t leave, choosing to stay in Austria.

This time she came purely to watch Qin Miao race. There were still many places in Austria she hadn’t visited, so she wasn’t planning on heading back home promptly.

Of course, before Qin Miao went to the airport, his mom held his hand and said earnestly, "Son, you know the nature of your job. Although I think you’re the best driver in the circuit, car racing is indeed a high-risk sport."

Qin Miao’s eyebrows twitched as he heard this, feeling a not-so-good premonition.

"While you’re still young, you and Qimeng have been together for a while now. I think it’s time for you two to have a child."

Qin Miao: ...

Qin Miao never expected that one day his mom would urge him on such matters.

But honestly, Qin Miao is only 21 years old; if he hadn’t gone abroad to race in F1, he would still be in college back home.

He had never thought about having a child, nor did he have that concept.

Although his mom didn’t finish her sentence, Qin Miao understood her meaning. In case something happens to him in racing, he should at least leave a legacy.

Unprepared for this, Qin Miao paused for a while before saying to his mom, "Mom, why bring this up so suddenly? It caught me a bit off guard."

"No particular reason, just saw some crash compilations in videos recently..."

Qin Miao: ...

Seeing his mother’s concerned eyes and the hidden worry within them, Qin Miao thought for a bit and then said, "I’ll discuss this with Qimeng when I get back and see what she thinks."

Qin Miao didn’t explain to his mom how comprehensive the monocoque chassis, anti-collision structures, and rollover bars in F1 now are in protecting drivers, instead opting for a neutral response.

Hearing Qin Miao’s reply, his mom was slightly dissatisfied but intended this as a long-term plan to gradually persuade him.

So, since Qin Miao mentioned having the discussion, she didn’t delve deeper into the subject and nodded, "Try to have one soon, while I’m still able to help take care of the child. If you’re out racing and Qimeng needs to work, I can help at home."

"Don’t you want to travel around? And still want to stay home with the kid?"

"If I were 10 years younger, I surely would want to travel around, but now that I’m older, I’d rather stay in a familiar place. Taking care of a child can keep me entertained."

Qin Miao’s mouth twitched, thinking, so in your eyes, a child is just a toy, right?

"Alright, I’ll try."

"Okay then, I’ll continue to hang out with Xiaozhao." His mom waved at Qin Miao and left.

After she left, Qin Miao packed his luggage and then headed to the airport with Barber.

At the airport, after waiting for over an hour, Zhou Guanyu also arrived.

The two of them returned to the UK together.

Once back in the UK, Qin Miao naturally talked to Qimeng about this. Actually, Qin Miao thought about waiting a few more years.

The problem remains; despite gaining some fame in the F1 circuit, Qin Miao himself felt he was still a kid and was worried about parenting so early.

Qimeng, on the other hand, had a nonchalant attitude. If Qin Miao wanted a child, she would be willing. She could even delegate the management of Qin Miao’s agency to a professional manager and stay at home entirely to care for their child.
