Chapter 1090 Stereotypes

Qiao Xing remembered that she had just casually mentioned to Xi Xi and the others during a chat that she would take Xi Xi and Lin Lin to set off fireworks when she had time.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ce not only remembered this incident, but also bought so many fireworks.

Qiao Xing looked at the packaging of many fireworks, some of which she had never even seen before. "How do you play with these?"

Qin Ce glanced at the instruction manual briefly, then took out a lighter and lit a tiny sparkler to test it out.

The sudden burst of firelight illuminated their faces.

The crackling sound made Qiao Xing's heart race with excitement.

"It's so beautiful."

After making sure there were no problems, Qin Ce disassembled the other fireworks and placed them all on the ground.

He told Qiao Xing to go further away, then he squatted down and lit them one by one.

It takes a while for the fireworks to go off. After Qin Ce finished lighting them, he walked a few steps to Qiao Xing.

He stood behind her, gently covering her ears with his hands.

As the first firework soared into the sky, the second and third followed, their dazzling colors seemingly illuminating the entire city.

Qin Ce and Qiao Xing's faces lit up. Qin Ce asked, "Is it pretty?"

When he looked down, he saw that Qiao Xing had her eyes closed and her hands clasped together in front of her chest, as if she were making a wish.

She didn't know what she wished for, and it took her a while before she put her hand down.

Qin Ce put his arm around her and asked curiously, "Do we make a wish while setting off fireworks?"

Qiao Xing said, "Fireworks, like shooting stars, are fleeting, which is why we should seize the opportunity."

"So what did you wish for?"

Qiao Xing deliberately said, "It's a secret."

Even if she didn't say it, Qin Ce could guess it.

Given her personality, the only wish she would make would probably be for her child and everyone around her to be safe and healthy.

Before the fireworks had even finished, Qiao Xing said to Qin Ce, "Would you like to try one?"

When romantic things happen, things always seem to go as planned.

Qin Ce said, "I don't believe in this kind of thing."

Qiao Xing thought he was a real spoilsport.

Qin Ce then added, "What I wanted has already been achieved, so there's no need to make any wishes."

Qiao Xing asked doubtfully, "What?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Ce suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

The person he loves will always be by his side.

A month later, Yang Han's child was celebrating his one-month birthday. Yang Han discussed with Qin Ce, since Qin Ce's child was also not yet celebrating his one-month birthday, so he thought they might as well hold the celebration together.

Qin Ce discussed this matter with Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing had no objections. Yang Han and Qin Ce had a good relationship to begin with, and it would be more lively to hold the event together.

Although the two families held the full-month celebration together, it was still quite a grand affair.

The people invited by the Qin family included some of Qin Ce's friends and Qiao Xing's colleagues, as well as people from the Wang family.

Joey, who was far away abroad, also returned to China with Xue Ling, specifically to attend the baby's one-month celebration.

Compared to the Qin family, Yang Han invited far more people.

They invited not only some of Yang's parents' old friends, but also Xiao Lin's relatives.

Given Qin Ce and Yang Han's identities, and with their child celebrating their one-month birthday, naturally many people would want to come and offer their support.

However, the two have always kept a low profile. Although they invited many people this time, most of them were people they were close to.

Yang Han originally planned to name her daughter Yang Jinghe, but unexpectedly gave birth to a son, so she changed the name to Yang Jingyu.

Xiao Lin initially thought Yang Jinghe sounded nice, but Yang Han absolutely refused to give her son that name.

He said he prepared this for his daughter, and if he gave it to his son, it would make his son seem like a substitute.

Xiao Lin couldn't do anything about it, so she simply let him be.

At the banquet, Qin Ce and Qiao Xing, Yang Han and Xiao Lin were busy toasting and asking questions to the relatives and friends who came to celebrate the baby's one-month birthday.

Since Grandpa Qin couldn't move easily, he simply stayed by the child's side.

Yang Han's grandparents happened to be nearby, and the elderly people chatted quite happily.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with her relatives, Xiao Lin's mother turned around and found Xiao Lin in the crowd.

She got up, walked over to Xiao Lin, and quietly led her aside.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Xiao Lin asked her mother, puzzled.

Xiao Lin's mother glanced at Yang Han in the distance and asked Xiao Lin, "I used to worry that you and Xiao Han wouldn't get along. Now that you've had the baby, what are your plans?"

"What, what plan?"

Xiao Lin's mother was exasperated. "You're a mother now. You need to think more about your child. Yang Han is rich, but besides that, he seems unreliable. Do you think he'll treat you and your child well?"

Xiao Lin's mother didn't think highly of Yang Han from the beginning.

But Xiao Lin's father liked her and insisted that the two get married.

Xiao Lin has always had a strong personality and a free and easy way of doing things.

They weren't worried that Xiao Lin would make them suffer, but things were fine before they got married, but now that they were married and had children, many things were different from before.

Although Yang Han is rich, he doesn't seem mature at all. She doesn't want Xiao Lin to worry about both the child and Yang Han in the future.

Xiao Lin felt helpless in the face of her mother's worries.

"Mom, he's just a bit carefree in terms of personality, not as unreliable as you say. He cares about the kids even more than I do."

Although Yang Han has always said that she wanted a daughter, she has shown just as much care for her son since he was born.

Sometimes he would stay by his child's side even after the child had fallen asleep. Even when he had urgent matters to attend to, he would make sure to take care of the child first before doing anything else.

Of course, Xiao Lin also knew that the reason he was so heartbroken over the child was not because the child was him, but because the child was born to Xiao Lin.

He loves Xiao Lin, which is why he loves children.

Because of what happened with Xue Ling last time, Xiao Lin's mother already had a stereotype about Yang Han.

Because she had seen and heard too many messy things about wealthy families, even her own family...

On the surface, they appear glamorous and precious, but who can know the darkness hidden beneath?

Xiao Lin did nothing wrong by having a child. What she was worried about was that Xiao Lin would follow in the footsteps of those other people.

Xiao Lin's mother wanted to say something more, but Yang Han walked towards the two of them.

"Mom, Linlin, why are you talking here? There are rooms upstairs."

Xiao Lin's mother gave an awkward smile. "I need to ask Lin Lin something."

Yang Han didn't think much of it. He said to Xiao Lin, "I just checked on the child. He's sleeping well. You've been busy all morning. Have something to eat. You didn't eat much this morning."

Xiao Lin hummed in agreement, "I'm hungry too."

She turned to look at Xiao Lin's mother, as if deliberately asking, "Mom, would you like to eat something with me?"

Xiao Lin's mother sensed the sarcasm in her tone and looked a little uncomfortable. "I'm not eating anymore. I'm going to check on Yu Yu."
