Zhu Qianying supervised the two little brats as they took a bath. She waited for Zizai to come out of his room, and as soon as he came out, he urged her to hurry up.
"Mommy, go check if Bai Xiaolu is asleep. Zizai can sleep by himself, it's okay!"
Even though the little man said that, Zhu Qianying still watched him climb into bed, covered him with a blanket, and kissed him on the lips.
Goodnight, my love!
Zizai yawned, and his chubby little hand reached out to touch Zhu Qianying's face. "Mommy, goodnight!"
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes, and within a few minutes, his soft snoring could be heard.
Zhu Qianying kissed his forehead again, got up, turned off the light, and tiptoed out.
Bai Xiaolu's bedroom was right next to Zizai's bedroom. When Zhu Qianying walked in, the little girl came out with her hair all wet.
Without saying a word, Zhu Qianying went into the bathroom, grabbed a hairdryer, and gestured for the little girl to sit on the sofa.
Xiao Lu obediently sat down, and when Zhu Qianying walked over, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Zhu Qianying's waist, resting her head on Zhu Qianying's stomach.
Since Bai Shao accompanied Bai Xiangdong abroad for treatment, Bai Xiaolu has become increasingly dependent on Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying knew that she was afraid and wanted to get some of her mother's scent from her.
"Xiao Lu, where do you want to go this weekend? Aunt Shadow will take you and Zizai there."
Bai Xiaolu clung tightly to her, "Whatever... just ask Zizai..."
As Zhu Qianying said, both children have tempers that come and go quickly. Bai Xiaolu was so angry with Zizai that she almost exploded before, but now, after listening to her, the two of them have no more grudges.
As Zhu Qianying was blow-drying her hair, she was thinking about how to make the little girl happy. Unexpectedly, after only half of the blow-drying, the little girl slowly loosened her grip on her waist.
Zhu Qianying looked down and saw that the little girl had fallen asleep in her arms.
Kids will always be kids!
Zhu Qianying smiled and shook her head, sighing silently in her heart.
Bai Shao and Bai Xiangdong have been gone for three days, and there has been no news of them since.
Of course, not only were the father and daughter out of contact, but the Yan family bodyguards who accompanied them were also unreachable, as was Jiang Qi from the Zong family.
According to Yan Shao's estimation, if Dr. Zhao really performs surgery on Bai Xiangdong, then this situation of being unable to communicate with the outside world will at least continue until Bai Xiangdong is out of danger and Dr. Zhao leaves safely before Bai Shao can hear from him.
Zhu Qianying carefully placed the hairdryer on the bed to dry Bai Xiaolu's hair, stroked her soft, silky hair, bent down, picked her up, and put her on the bed.
Compared to Zizai, who is a little chubby, Bai Xiaolu is a little taller, but when you pick her up, she feels much lighter.
Perhaps the invisible pressure in my heart was too much, and I even lost a lot of weight in just over a week.
Zhu Qianying took a few pictures of Bai Xiaolu sleeping peacefully with her phone and posted them on several private WeChat Moments.
She didn't know when Bai Shao would be able to communicate with the outside world. Anyway, she would post some photos of Xiao Luzi's life every day for the past two days, so that Bai Shao could know about the little girl's situation even in an unknown place.
After she settled Xiaolu, she went to her mother's bedroom. Chen Jing had already taken a shower and was now sitting on the sofa doing accounts.
"Mom, you can leave this kind of thing to someone else. You're not made of iron, you need to rest properly."
Chen Jing tidied up the bills on the table, looked up and smiled at her.
"What's the big deal? It's not tiring."
Zhu Qianying rarely said anything to her, and sat down next to her, waiting patiently for her mother to finish her rant.
Chen Jing then told Zhu Qianying about Luo Yifan's strange behavior of suddenly disappearing and then suddenly returning.
As the saying goes, "the onlooker sees most of the game," and after listening to her mother's detailed and meticulous explanation, Zhu Qianying understood.
Isn't it obvious that she's jealous?
"Mom, I think what you told me is mainly what you've seen and believe to be the facts during this period. Tell Luo Yifan about it in detail and see what explanation he gives you. As for whether or not to tell him how you've felt during this period, that's up to you. Just listen to your heart!"
Nowadays, Zhu Qianying mostly maintains an optimistic attitude towards relationships.
Therefore, she encouraged her mother to take the initiative and try to untie the knot.
Clearly, Luo Yifan's return was due to some things he had figured out and some decisions he had made.
Judging from his repeated phone calls to Xiaoyu, he does care about his mother. However, his mother's attitude leaves him at a loss, and it seems that he hasn't found a way out yet.
Chen Jing was easily persuaded by her daughter, because even she vaguely felt that continuing this one-sided cold war was not a real solution to the problem.
“Okay, I’ll try talking to him…”
Although Chen Jing only took a very small step forward, in Zhu Qianying's view, this small step might determine the future of her mother's relationship with Luo Yifan.
After chatting with her mother, it was almost 11 o'clock, and her mother was going to sleep. Zhu Qianying went back to her room to take a shower. It was almost 11:30, and Yan Shao still hadn't returned.
I grabbed my laptop and went downstairs, then settled into the sofa to browse the web for inspiration.
When Yan Shao returned, he saw only the night light on in the living room and assumed everyone was asleep.
When he entered the living room, he found Zhu Qianying curled up on the sofa, fast asleep, clutching her computer.
This girl...
Yan Shao smiled helplessly, a smile that contained both doting affection and gratitude.
He tiptoed to the sofa, bent down, and whispered in Zhu Qianying's ear, "Ying'er, I'm back."
After he finished speaking, he was about to reach out and pick her up when Zhu Qianying suddenly opened her sleepy eyes. Her hazy gaze cleared considerably after she saw him clearly.
"You're back?"
Yan Shao kissed her lips again. "Mmm, baby, I'm back. Let me carry you back to bed. How about we go to sleep together?"
Zhu Qianying rubbed her eyes and sat up straight. "Go take a shower. I'll make you a cup of ginseng tea."
She, who always sleeps very soundly, woke up so easily, entirely because of the strong smell of alcohol on him.
Yan Shao raised his arm to smell his clothes, then frowned. He only knew to rinse his mouth with mouthwash before coming in, but forgot that his clothes also smelled of alcohol.
Raising his eyelids, he asked, "Does it smell bad?"
Zhu Qianying nodded. "Yes, it really does smell bad."
Yan Shao immediately stood up. He hadn't paid attention before, but now that he realized it, he felt very uncomfortable.
"I'm going to take a shower first." After saying that, he bent down to kiss Zhu Qianying's lips again. He brought his head halfway down, but then remembered that he was reeking of alcohol, so he changed direction and kissed her forehead instead.
