Chapter 11

Qiuqiu has seen people call her "auntie" and "sister," but this is the first time she's seen someone call her "dad."

The key point is that this person acted as if it were perfectly normal.

Considering that Qiuqiu currently has a very beautiful mother.

He's obviously a weirdo trying to take advantage of his mom!

Although he's a very handsome but strange uncle, Qiuqiu still doesn't like him!

Qiuqiu immediately wanted to hang up the phone.

But before she could press the hang-up button, Jiang Xueru woke up.

Jiang Xueru glanced at her phone and immediately understood what had happened.

To a certain extent, Qiuqiu should indeed call him Dad.

Because he is Jiang Xueru's legal husband—Gu Qingyue.

She took the phone from Qiuqiu's hand. "Is something wrong? Have you been filming in the desert lately?"

Gu Qingyue stammered, "Ah... today... we changed locations today."

Another voice came through the phone, "Reporting to the boss, we're still filming in the desert today, but the boss drove for an hour to find this location where we can video call. I told him you already said everything was fine during the live stream, but he wants to see it for himself..."

Before he could finish speaking, he received a violent punch from Gu Qingyue.

Jiang Xueru: ......

Gu Qingyue explained, "I heard there was a little accident during your live stream. Are you alright?"

“It’s nothing,” Jiang Xueru shook her head, then noticed something amiss and asked, “How did you know there was an accident during our live stream while you were in the desert?”

The assistant, who had just been beaten up, interrupted again: "Reporting to the boss, the boss can't watch the live stream, so he asked me to watch the live stream 24 hours a day, transcribe it into text, and send it to him."

And so he received another beating.

Jiang Xueru smiled.

Gu Qingyue was stunned when he saw her smile.

"Looks like everything's alright, I can see you're smiling." He coughed lightly again. "If you're alright, that's fine. I have filming tonight."

The other person on the phone tried to say something, but Boss Gu quickly pressed the hang-up button.

The scene that was so urgent that it was paused at the very end showed Boss Gu reaching out to grab his assistant by the neck.

If this gets out, anyone who sees it will think it's a murder scene.

Having witnessed everything, Qiuqiu opened her big, puzzled eyes and asked, "Mommy, who is this strange uncle?"

Jiang Xueru thought about it carefully: "She is a very important relative of my mother."

Qiuqiu felt a strange competitive urge: "Is someone as important as Qiuqiu?"

"Yes." Jiang Xueru rubbed Qiuqiu's little head. "You are all very important to me."

Qiuqiu understands!

Since the strange uncle is a very important relative of her mother, Qiuqiu can be nicer to him.

But it still won't work to get Qiuqiu to call him "Dad"!

......

Due to an unexpected incident, the original plan could no longer proceed.

"Super Cute" was originally divided into two phases. The first phase was when the mother and child lived in the countryside for a week, and then the second phase was filmed at home.

However, given what happened today and a guest was injured, the production team discussed the matter and decided to let the guests go home to film the second phase. The outdoor filming will continue once the guests have fully recovered.

That evening, Qiuqiu met Yu Ling, the strange aunt who had gone to the orphanage with Jiang Xueru to pick her up that day.

Yu Ling was originally in Beijing handling other matters, but after learning about this, she rushed over. Only after seeing that the two people, one adult and one child, were safe and sound did she feel completely relieved.

"I was terrified when I saw the live stream," Yu Ling said, still shaken, and gently tapped Qiuqiu's head. "It was so dangerous! Why did you rush out to pull Fang Ran away?!"

Qiuqiu stuck out her little tongue.

Jiang Xueru hugged Qiuqiu tightly and said, "Why did you hit Qiuqiu? Qiuqiu is just naturally kind."

Yu Ling was amused; she had never seen Jiang Xueru so protective of her own.

"It seems you're making rapid progress; you must know what it's like to be a mother now."

Jiang Xueru nodded.

If Jiang Xueru's feelings for Qiuqiu before were mostly due to her cuteness and likability.

But during these few days of interaction, Jiang Xueru herself didn't know when, but her cold heart had accepted another person.

When the incident happened today, a feeling of tension and worry quickly took over my heart.

The last time I felt this way about someone else was when my grandmother passed away, as her granddaughter.

Today, he finally understands what it means to be a mother.

Yu Ling was very pleased. "Perfect timing. The production team of 'Hello Mom' has already notified us of an interview in a while. With your abilities, you'll easily outshine Ye Sisi."

After arriving in Haishi that evening, Jiang Xueru did not send Qiuqiu back to the orphanage, but the three of them went back to Jiang Xueru's home together.

On the one hand, indoor recording will begin soon, and Qiuqiu can familiarize herself with the environment of Jiang Xueru's home.

On the other hand, Jiang Xueru felt that she seemed to be unable to live without Qiuqiu.

It seems that I sleep very soundly when I sleep with Qiuqiu at night.

Jiang Xueru had always lived alone, and her home was quiet and deserted. Qiuqiu once joked that Jiang Xueru's home was as exquisite as a museum.

It's a museum, but there's no one around.

After Qiuqiu arrived today, she jumped and skipped around, adding a lot of liveliness to the place and making a ruckus in the usually quiet house for quite a while.

It was quite late when they got back, and soon Qiuqiu became so drowsy that she couldn't keep her eyes open. Just as she was about to fall asleep in bed, she remembered something and struggled to sit up.

Jiang Xueru chuckled and said, "Weren't you very sleepy? Why did you get up again?"

Qiuqiu rubbed her eyes, trying to stay awake. "I want to tell Mom a bedtime story."

Jiang Xueru was stunned for a moment, "You're going to tell me?"

Qiuqiu nodded firmly.

Jiang Xueru felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she looked at her, who was so sleepy yet forcing herself to stay awake.

Jiang Xueru also lay down on the bed, "Then Qiuqiu, tell me about it."

Qiuqiu immediately became excited, and her sleepiness was greatly reduced.

After experiencing a Waterloo-like defeat in her dream due to not being able to read, her brother Shen Yi'an, who wanted to know many things, asked her how to tell bedtime stories.

She was very well prepared!

Qiuqiu drawled out in her soft, childlike voice: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain, on the mountain was a temple, and in the temple lived an old monk."

Seeing her pause, Jiang Xueru asked, "And then?"

Qiuqiu: "The old monk told the young monk a bedtime story at night. He said, 'Once upon a time, there was a mountain, on the mountain was a temple, and in the temple lived an old monk.'"

Jiang Xueru: ......

Seeing that Jiang Xueru remained silent, Qiuqiu urged, "Mom, please continue asking what happened next!"

Jiang Xueru could only ask, "And then?"

Qiuqiu closed her eyes, her little head turning in circles as if she were reading a book. "The old monk told the little monk a bedtime story at night. He said, 'Once upon a time, there was a mountain, on the mountain was a temple, and in the temple lived an old monk.'"

Jiang Xueru: ......

She knew it.

When Qiuqiu saw that she was not talking, she thought that she had not told the story well and was very distressed.

"Brother Yi'an said the most hypnotic part of this bedtime story is... oh right, it's the loop!"

Jiang Xueru was both speechless and amused.

It's really hypnotic, like an endlessly looping kaleidoscope that keeps spinning.

Jiang Xueru smiled and replied, "It is indeed very hypnotic. Qiuqiu, please continue."

Qiuqiu happily continued her story.

Before she could finish telling the story a few times, Jiang Xueru didn't fall asleep, but Qiuqiu did manage to fall asleep while telling it to her.

Jiang Xueru laid her flat on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

Finally, I couldn't resist and kissed her on the forehead.

"good evening."

......

When Qiuqiu woke up the next day, the production crew had already installed cameras in the room.

When Qiuqiu first encountered a live stream without a photographer, she immediately took on the role of photographer with great enthusiasm, leading the viewers on a tour of Jiang Xueru's house.

"This is where Qiuqiu and her mother sleep. Qiuqiu even told her mother a bedtime story before going to sleep yesterday!"

After finishing, he repeated the content of the bedtime story.

The live stream audience was in stitches.

[Hahahaha, what kind of bedtime stories is Shen Yi'an telling us? Hahahaha.]

In some ways, it is indeed quite hypnotic.

[No way! This story is so captivating, and it's not even over yet! I'm so angry, how can I possibly hypnotize someone like this!]

Qiuqiu went to the kitchen with her phone in hand again, where Jiang Xueru was making breakfast.

[Ahhh, Jiang Jiang is so beautiful! My wife is so beautiful!]

[I watched the over-the-shoulder throw scene from yesterday hundreds of times; she was so cool!!!]

Qiuqiu took the live stream and toured the entire house.

At this point, in addition to praising Qiuqiu's cuteness and the house's beauty, some different comments appeared on the screen.

Is this house only occupied by Jiang Xueru? I haven't seen any men's belongings at all.

Is there anyone who doesn't know that Jiang Xueru and Gu Qingyue are a contractual couple?

[I thought that contract couples would at least put on an act in front of the camera, decorating the house as if it were for two people. This was completely unpretentious.]

[Can the comments really stop ruining the atmosphere? If you want to ship this couple, go watch Fang Ye next door.]

[Just came from there, and to be honest, it felt a bit... fake? (This is just my personal opinion, I don't mean to criticize anyone, and I'm not a fan of anyone.)]

[I also want to say, I don't know if I'm being too sensitive, but it all feels like it's acting. Even a simple kiss seems deliberately staged to find the right camera angle. It's almost sickening to watch.]
