Luo Luo connected the video call to Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu smiled at the camera and greeted Zhu Qian.
"Zhu Qian, thank you for managing ZOE's affairs all by yourself."
"Qiao Chu, don't be so polite. Just focus on your postpartum recovery. Luo Luo and I will take care of everything else. I've seen the videos and photos of the babies, and I love them so much. They're so adorable."
"Keep up the good work! I'm ready to attend your wedding anytime."
Zhu Qian pursed his lips, smiled faintly, and said, "She hasn't agreed to marry me yet."
"uh-huh?"
"I will definitely try my best! Let me check on the babies again, are they all asleep?"
Qiao Chu pointed her camera at her son and daughter in the crib and said softly, "Uncle is here to see you, babies, say hello to your uncle."
The two little babies twitched around, as if they were stretching.
After a while, she slightly opened her eyes.
Qiao Chu smiled and said, "It seems they really like Uncle. Usually they're asleep at this time, but now they've slightly opened their eyes, as if to glance at you."
"It's my honor. After Fashion Week ends, I'll take some time to go back to China, and I'd like to hug them too."
"Okay, they'll miss their uncle too."
"Qiao Chu, there's something I want to tell you. I learned from an old friend in the same industry that Zhou Kaiyun is an outstanding designer. She's very capable and was once a prominent figure."
“I’ve seen the video of her handling of the situation, and she’s really great. I admire her.”
"Twenty years ago, she retired because her daughter went missing. She was heartbroken and gave up the career and honors she had built up. So, not many people know about her now, and not many people know her story."
"It turns out she's a woman with a story! As a mother, I feel quite sorry for her. If I have the chance, I'd like to talk to her. Perhaps we can become friends. Even though we're in the same profession, we don't necessarily have to be enemies."
“I’ve found some of Zhou Kaiyun’s previous works, I’ll send them to you in a bit.”
"Okay, thank you!"
"You're welcome! You should rest first, I won't bother you any longer."
...
Luo Luo: "Finding Zhou Kaiyun's previous works must have taken a lot of effort."
Qiao Chu laughed and teased, "Are you jealous?"
"No way! He's helping you because I'm helping you. If he doesn't help you, I'll yell at him."
"I understand. It's because someone loves my dog that they helped me."
"Qiao Chu, stop joking. He sent you a message, look quickly. Twenty years have passed, it's not easy to find Zhou Kaiyun's early works, they must be some collectors' items now."
"Excellent designers deserve it!"
With a smile, Qiao Chu opened the message and picture sent by Zhu Qian.
Zhou Kaiyun is not only good at designing clothes, but her jewelry designs are also classics.
The bags she designed twenty years ago are already at the forefront of fashion trends.
She is truly talented.
...
Qiao Chu scrolled down carefully and read everything.
For some reason, she frowned slightly.
There was a strange feeling in her mind that she felt a sense of déjà vu with some of the works.
However, no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't come up with anything.
But it just feels very familiar.
Luo Luo also looked at Zhou Kaiyun's work, and she also gave her an appreciative look.
"She's really amazing!"
"For her time, it was remarkable that she could design such works. Even today, her work doesn't feel outdated; she was incredibly talented."
"I guess not many people in China know her anymore, and there aren't many of her old designs in the country. That's why Zhu Qian searched for them abroad. This set of jewelry in the picture is so beautiful; it's definitely worth collecting."
"I must see her."
"Qiao Chu, let's talk about it after you've finished your postpartum confinement. Right now, you need to rest well."
Qiao Chu nodded.
She obediently lay down on the bed.
Her two little babies are already asleep, and they are both very cute!
Looking at them, she felt so happy.
For some reason, Qiao Chu also thought of Zhou Kaiyun.
Losing a child is such a heartbreaking blow; she understands her and pities her.
If it were her, Qiao Chu would also be unable to accept such a devastating blow.
I'd rather lose the whole world than not have a child.
******
We agreed to have dinner together tonight.
Around 5 o'clock, Gu Changge called Nangong Jin to tell her that she had something to do and wouldn't be going.
Nangong Jin pressed further, "Are you going to work overtime?"
"no."
"Go have lunch with your colleagues."
"No, that's not it. Take care of your son and explain it to me."
"Why can you go back on your word? You already promised our son, and now you're saying you won't go. How disappointed he will be!"
“Aren’t you good at coaxing children? Talk to him nicely, and he’ll accept it. Or, you can take him to the Jiang family’s house. There’s plenty to do and plenty to eat, and he can see his younger siblings. He’ll be very well-behaved then.”
"He said he wants a younger brother or sister, what should we do?"
"Just because he wants it, you have to give it to him? How can you spoil your child like this? Overindulgence does no good for children. You must reason with them when necessary."
Nangong Jin was a little displeased and pouted.
“You know your son’s temper, he…”
"You all survived even when I wasn't in Haicheng, didn't you? You handled things very well too, didn't you? Now that I'm back, why is it different?"
"Your affairs are important? More important than your son?"
"There's no comparison! I still have to write a report, I'm hanging up now."
Gu Changge hung up the phone, and Nangong Jin frowned.
He was still unhappy!
...
"Dad, is Mom really not coming home for dinner? What is she going to do?"
Nangong Jin patted her son's head and said, "She's not coming back for dinner, and I don't know what she's up to."
"You can ask her!"
"I asked her, but she wouldn't tell me."
"Huh? Why?"
Why do you ask so many questions?
"You should ask if you don't know!"
"I don't know your dad either."
"Should we go find our mother?"
"Where can I find it? Like finding juice in the ocean!"
"If we go shopping, we might run into Mom."
Nangong Jin thought for a moment and nodded.
"Alright, let's go wander around aimlessly, it's much better than staying at home."
"Dad, I want ice cream."
"You just want me to take you to get ice cream, right?"
Rui Rui covered her mouth and laughed, without saying a word.
Suddenly, the little one kissed his father's cheek.
What a sweet little thing! It's impossible to hate him, and I can't bear to scold him either. Nangong Jin picked up her son and kissed his cheek.
I wonder what it would be like if I had a daughter?
Suddenly, Jiang Zhi's daughter popped into Nangong Jin's mind.
The little baby is so cute and lovable. Jiang Zhi loves holding his son and daughter.
If he had a daughter, she would probably be very cute and lovable, and very beautiful!
Thinking about it, Nangong Jin smiled.
