Although Chu Chu threw the basketball upwards, it flew out of the court without hitting the rim.

neat:"!!!"

Huh~ Where's the gift? Did it fly away?!

"Clap clap clap~~~"

Lan Qingyue clapped her hands with special effects, shaking her head as she said, "Oh dear~~~ a certain little chubby one will probably have to eat vegetarian food tomorrow~ No meat, that's great, healthy, green, and helps with weight loss, clap clap~~~"

Chu Chu turned around, looking at Lan Qingyue with resentment. She felt that her mother was becoming increasingly difficult, especially since coming here. She was constantly causing trouble for the child; she was just a little darling, why did she have to be so cruel to her?

Qi Yu also watched Lan Qingyue silently, the probing look in his eyes growing stronger, only to vanish in an instant. Lan Qingyue subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face. Why did she feel like there was something there?

After playing for a while, Chu Chu couldn't resist the drowsiness and obediently lay on Qi Yu's shoulder, her little mouth wide open, yawning lazily, her eyes misty, looking soft, cute and adorable. Lan Qingyue stepped forward and said, "President Qi, Chu Chu is sleepy, I should take her back to rest first."

Before his hand could even touch Chu Chu, Qi Yu turned around, avoiding Lan Qingyue's delicate hand, and walked past her to leave the basketball court first. He didn't forget to turn back and say, "Miss Lan, what are you standing there for? Lead the way!"

"Lead...lead the way?"

Lan Qingyue thought she was hallucinating from sleepiness, pointed to herself, and asked in confusion, "What directions are you leading me to?"

Qi Yu stopped in his tracks, looking at her with a "you're so naive" gaze, and said with a slight parting of his thin lips, "Chu Chu is sleepy. Aren't we going to take her back to rest? You have to lead the way."

Lan Qingyue: "!!!"

My goodness, you've become addicted to holding the baby, haven't you? Why are you taking her back yourself?

Lan Qingyue jogged after him and intercepted him, saying, "President Qi, I can take Chuchu back myself. You've had a long day, so you should go home and rest early."

"Speaking like that, he must be quite considerate," Lan Qingyue thought to herself.

Qi Yu remained motionless, his dark eyes shining brightly in the night. The stars in the sky seemed to lose their color because of his gaze. Lan Qingyue felt uneasy under his stare, her hands clenched tightly as she forced herself to calm down. She said, "Mr. Qi, Chu Chu drools in her sleep. It wouldn't be good if she got your clothes dirty."

Lan Qingyue used her "trump card"—she refused to believe that someone of Qi Yu's status wouldn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.

There was a huge drool stain on her pristine white shirt, which even she couldn't stand.

Chu Chu, who was being subtly criticized: "..."

When do I drool in my sleep?

I'm such a good little baby, I'm so cute when I sleep, okay? Hmph~~~

"Oh? Is that so?" Qi Yu asked back, it was unclear whether he was asking Lan Qingyue or Chu Chu.

Both answered at the same time.

Chu Chu: "No, Chu Chu sleeps very well, she doesn't drool~~~"

Lan Qingyue: "Really, Chu Chu always drools in her sleep. She must be dreaming about delicious food!"

Not only did they drool, but they also smacked their lips and said it was delicious.

Lan Qingyue stood up straight without flinching, raised her chin, and smiled faintly at the drowsy Chu Chu with her red lips pursed.

Qi Yu said nothing more and strode toward the crossroads.

His attitude had already made it clear, so Lan Qingyue had no choice but to give up and follow him, leading the way back to Lu Yan's house.
