Chapter 457: Tea?



Hua Qingci rubbed the little girl's hair - "Want to sleep? Shall I call Xie Jingsheng to take you upstairs to sleep?"

Nuan Nuan rubbed her eyes——"It's okay, I can still hold on for a while."

She has the habit of taking a nap, but today she didn't take one because she came to attend Jingsheng's birthday party. She had just eaten a full meal, but she felt sleepy all of a sudden.

The boy tried to hold on for a while, but finally he lay on his arms and fell asleep, pressing the soft flesh on the side of his face.

Xie Jingsheng came back on his own without even asking his childhood friend to call him.

"Asleep?"

They all started to snore evenly.

Xie Jingsheng picked her up and said, "I'll take her upstairs to sleep."

After putting Nuannuan on the soft bed in the guest room, Xie Jingsheng closed the door when he left to block out the noise outside.

I went to look for Gu An first, and sure enough, that guy was in the game room, having fun with a few young boys.

"Nuannuan is asleep so I'll carry her to the guest room."

The main purpose of telling him was to prevent the little brat from thinking that his sister was lost.

"Asleep? Oh, right, she didn't take a nap today. Is the quilt covered and the door closed? She will wake up in about an hour. Brother, please check the time for me. If I forget to go and see my sister because I'm having so much fun later, please help me."

This brother is quite self-aware.

Xie Jingsheng——“…” “Got it.”

Just like Gu An said, he really forgot about it while playing.

An hour later, when Xie Jingsheng went to the guest room again, Nuannuan had indeed woken up. She was squirming in the quilt, groaning and not getting up for a long time.

He paused and knocked on the door.

Nuannuan, who had been squirming in the quilt, stopped and revealed half of her furry head. Her big black and white eyes looked at the person standing at the door.

The child probably just woke up and was a little groggy.

She sat up and rubbed her eyes——"Jingsheng."

The voice was soft and murmured as if she was acting coquettishly.

"I'm not at home, no wonder it feels so strange."

She lay down again, rolled around twice in bed with restraint, and got out of bed herself.

This is not your own home, so you can't just mess around.

After getting out of bed, little Nuannuan smoothed the quilt before running to the door.

"My hair is messy."

Xie Jingsheng looked at the child's fluffy hair.

Nuan Nuan touched it - "But Nuan Nuan doesn't know how to comb her hair, Jing Sheng, can you?"

Xie Jingsheng——“No.”

"What should I do? If I just leave, wouldn't that be impolite?"

Xie Jingsheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find a maid."

The child nodded obediently - "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

After combing my hair again and going downstairs, the Xie family’s birthday party had already ended and everyone who needed to leave had already left.

When Nuannuan went downstairs, the servant was cleaning the living room.

"Nuan Nuan, come here, Senior Sister."

Nuannuan's eyes were so moist that they seemed to be flashing with tiny lights. Upon hearing that, she ran over on her short legs.

"Senior Sister——"

The little guy was picked up directly.

Next to Su Qingran stood a handsome middle-aged man, whose looks were mostly inherited from Xie Jingsheng. His temperament seemed a bit cold, as he had been in a high position for a long time and had a natural aura of authority.

"Hello, Uncle Xie."

Nuannuan greeted him obediently.

A nod of thanks was all he could think of as a response, for he had no idea how to get along with children.

Even when it was his own son, he seldom held him in his arms when he was little. Instead, he mostly helped him with his homework and taught him how to grow up.

Perhaps influenced by him, his son's personality is rather cold and he doesn't talk much.

Sometimes, the father and son would sit together for a long time without saying a word, each doing their own thing and not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

Gu An also came over and called people in a sweet voice.

"You must be Nuan Nuan's little brother. She often mentioned you when she wrote to me."

Gu An puffed out his chest, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably in a laugh.

It turns out that I am so important in my sister's heart.

Su Qingran covered her lips and smiled, not telling him that what Nuannuan mentioned most in the letter was how he was punished by the elders at home every time he made a mistake.

Of course Nuannuan wouldn't tell anyone.

The two sisters understood each other tacitly.

"Let's go, Nuannuan, go see Senior Sister's workshop at home. Son and husband, please help greet little Gu An."

She also has an embroidery studio at home, which contains many of her favorite works.

Nuannuan agreed happily, holding her senior sister's hand and following closely.

Soon there were only three people left in the living room, staring at each other.

Xie Jingsheng——"Would you like some tea?"

Gu An curled his lips - "Which young person drinks that stuff?"

After saying this, he realized that Uncle Xie was also there, and he whispered, "Don't young people nowadays drink carbonated drinks or iced drinks?"

Xie·Not a young person·Jingsheng——"..."

"Drinking too much of those things is bad for your health."

The servant brought a fruit platter, cakes and snacks.

Xie Jingsheng——"Eat it yourself."

Then he took a sip of tea.

Although he is still young, he looks like a seasoned cadre, and when he does something, he looks like a noble young man from an ancient aristocratic family.

Xie Qi was also a man of few words. He still had a lot of work to do, so he just turned on his computer and spoke to Gu An.

"You're welcome."

After saying that, he started working, with a cup of hot tea on the table next to him.

Gu An——“…”You guys are making me feel out of place.
