"That's more like it."
Xu Shi nodded and instructed, "Then you can take Xiao Ying downstairs... There are still plenty of empty rooms here, you can choose whichever you like."
"dad?"
Qin Yiyan couldn't wait to get as far away from Xu Shi as possible, but Xu Ying was unwilling, clinging to his clothes and refusing to leave, "Daddy, can't you stay with Xiaoying a little longer?"
"Listen to me, Xiaoying, you're a big girl now. Daddy will play with you after he's done with his work."
Xu Shi patiently explained, "You can stay with your sister Qin most of the time and let her take care of you, okay?"
"Oh... okay."
Xu Ying was a little reluctant, but she was still obedient and didn't pester them any further.
She didn't forget to thank Qin Yiyan, "Thank you for taking care of me from now on, sister."
"……Um."
She didn't know that these words almost brought the red-haired silly girl to tears. Once upon a time, the young Holy Maiden had treated her the same way.
However, as she grew up, their relationship evolved into a superior-subordinate dynamic.
The other person may have lost those memories, but she still remembers them very clearly.
"Oh my, what a touching scene of deep affection between master and servant."
Xie Qingyan remarked sarcastically, "But your methods haven't changed... I'm just watching to see when she'll willingly climb into your bed."
"Can you please stop thinking about this all the time?"
Xu was speechless. How could one or two people have such impure thoughts?
It's fair to say that with so many girls around him, he's lost some of his interest. But teasing former rivals is always fun, and teasing this mature, older woman type is even more fun.
"Oh, so what do you want?"
Xie Xiaogou wasn't buying it. She gave him a look and said, "Are you planning to shut your heart away and lock away your love, or are you planning to finish what you haven't done yet?"
Some of the children were a bit reserved before, but the situation is different now.
"A person should see things through to the end."
"Mr. Xu said in a serious tone."
"Isn't that settled then?"
Xie Qingyan rolled her eyes at him. "Zhou, come inside with me. I've been busy for so long, it's time for me to release some stress."
What do you take me for?
"You treat me like your husband, don't you?"
Xie Qingyan responded in his own way.
……walk slowly.
Xu Shi had nothing to say.
"Hey, I'm still here."
Gu Yi squeezed in between the two, saying, "Whatever you're going to do... take me with you!"
I've given away all my little clothes, so I should at least get some compensation, right?
Sorry, I said I'd do it a little bit yesterday, but I got busy and it got delayed again... Waaaaah!
