Chapter 360 Learning to be a Super Dad
Shen Qingshu went directly from the hospital to Lijiang Villa.
Han Mingyu's car was parked in the yard.
Shen Qingshu walked into the house.
Sister Yun came to greet her.
"President Han is upstairs putting Xiao Niannian to sleep!"
Shen Qingshu paused, "When did he arrive?"
"I arrived at noon."
"You were there all afternoon?"
"Yes!" Aunt Yun smiled. "He spent the whole afternoon learning how to be a stay-at-home dad! Although we all know he's not Xiao Niannian's biological father, I can tell that Mr. Han really likes Xiao Niannian."
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and asked, "Where are the two little ones?"
"They're playing in the back garden, with Tan Yiyi keeping them company."
Tan Yiyi's father fell ill recently, so Shen Qingshu gave her a short vacation to go back to her hometown.
Last week, Tan's father recovered much better, and Tan Yiyi was finally relieved to return to Beicheng.
Shen Qingshu first went to the back garden to find her two children.
Hug them, kiss them, and that's when I'm satisfied.
Then she went upstairs.
The previously vacant children's room was temporarily given to Xiao Niannian and Zhang Yun to live in.
It is adjacent to the master bedroom.
Little Niannian is just one month old and doesn't show any signs of shyness towards strangers yet.
She's always been an angel baby, always eating and sleeping well, so taking care of her is actually very easy.
Han Mingyu really liked this daughter who was "created out of thin air".
Xiao Niannian fell asleep again, and Han Mingyu took several photos with his phone.
When Shen Qingshu pushed open the door and walked in, she saw Han Mingyu holding up his phone.
That scene was heartwarming.
Han Mingyu turned his head when he heard the noise.
Shen Qingshu gently closed the door, walked to the crib, and looked at the sleeping little Niannian with tender eyes.
How long has she been asleep?
"She's only been asleep for less than five minutes." Han Mingyu showed Shen Qingshu the photo he had just taken. "Look at her, what a delicate little face she has. When she grows up, she'll definitely have a lot of guys chasing after her. We'd better keep a close eye on her!"
Shen Qingshu smiled faintly and turned her gaze to Han Mingyu's face. "Mr. Han, let's go outside. I have something to say to you."
Han Mingyu paused.
I also anticipated what she wanted to say.
He put away his phone, looking relaxed. "Okay, let's go outside and talk, so as not to disturb our daughter."
...
In the studio, Shen Qingshu and Han Mingyu sat facing each other.
Shen Qingshu asked him, "Your family didn't punish you yesterday, did they?"
"He was punished." Han Mingyu pointed to his back. "He even got a whack with his cane from my grandfather!"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Han Mingyu stared at her and asked with a smile, "Shen Qingshu, are you feeling sorry for me?"
"I do feel somewhat guilty."
"What's there to feel guilty about!" Han Mingyu sighed. "What I want is for you to feel sorry for me."
"Han Mingyu." Shen Qingshu looked at him, her tone indifferent, "We agreed that we would only give Xiao Niannian an identity, and there would be no emotional or marital entanglement between us."
"I know." Han Mingyu sighed softly. "Don't worry, I've already explained it to my family, and they won't come to bother you without my permission again."
That would be the best course of action.
Shen Qingshu: "Take those betrothal gifts back with you."
Han Mingyu frowned. "That was a small token of their appreciation for Xiao Niannian."
“If Xiao Niannian is really your daughter, then I will accept her on her behalf and give her all of it when she grows up. But we both know very well that Xiao Niannian is not a descendant of your Han family. She already has the identity of a Han family heiress, which is already a great favor to your Han family. If I accept those betrothal gifts, I will not feel at ease.”
Han Mingyu's smile faded slightly.
Chen Qingshu looked serious.
He knew that once Shen Qingshu made a decision, no amount of advice from others would matter.
Helpless, Han Mingyu could only sigh, "Alright, I'll take the betrothal gifts back first. However, my grandparents are getting old, and the old man from the Jiang family next door brags about his grandson to them every day. They are really envious. Could you let me take Xiao Niannian back to show them occasionally?"
Although Shen Qingshu had only met them once, she could tell that the two elders of the Han family were kind-hearted and reasonable.
This reminded her of her grandfather.
She nodded. "Okay."
Han Mingyu's eyes lit up. "You've agreed, so you can't go back on your word!"
“Xiao Niannian has no other relatives in this world. Now she has all of you to love her. Actually, I should be thanking you.”
"No need for thanks." Han Mingyu raised an eyebrow at Chen Qingshu. "I'd much rather you repay me with your body."
Shen Qingshu has become desensitized to his behavior of talking nonsense anytime and anywhere.
She smiled and said, "I'm going abroad the day after tomorrow. If you want to take Xiao Niannian with you, you should have Zhang Yun come along."
"I understand." Han Mingyu paused. "What are you going abroad for?"
“Xingxing is studying abroad, and I’m worried about her, so I’m going to check on her.”
Han Mingyu was well aware that Qiao Xingjia and Shen Qingshu were as close as sisters.
He nodded, "I understand. Don't worry, Huanxing and the three children at home will be taken care of."
"Xiao Anning and Xiao Nian'an should be going to Fu Siyan's place this weekend. Xiao Nian'an also has Zhang Yun, so I'm not worried. You go about your business and don't need to worry about me."
Han Mingyu: "..."
This woman was extremely wary, and every word she uttered was a clear attempt to distance herself from him.
Yet, her expression was calm and her temperament gentle.
That's why her cold words were all the more irrefutable.
Han Mingyu realized with renewed frustration that he would probably never be able to win Shen Qingshu's heart in this lifetime.
…
That evening, Shen Qingshu received a call from Qin Yancheng.
Qin Yancheng decided to go to Sydney with her to find Qiao Xingjia.
This was good news. Shen Qingshu confirmed the departure time with him and then hung up the phone.
The day we set off for Sydney was a Friday.
Shen Qingshu had told the two children that if they wanted to visit their father on the weekend, they should call him themselves.
The two little ones love going to their dad's house and happily wave goodbye to their mom.
Afterwards, Shen Qingshu had the driver take her to the airport.
When she arrived at the airport, Qin Yancheng was already in the airport parking lot.
Fu Siyan drove him here.
Fu Siyan sat in the driver's seat, the window rolled down, his dark eyes fixed on Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu met his gaze for a moment, her expression calm, and then looked away.
Qin Yancheng, sitting in the passenger seat, patted Fu Siyan on the shoulder. "Brother, stop looking. If you want to pursue your wife openly and honestly like me, you should first settle your deal with Qi Mingxuan. Right now, with this identity, I can't even say a few good words for you."
Fu Siyan glanced at him, ignoring his teasing, and instead advised, "When you meet people, speak politely and don't follow my old path."
Qin Yancheng paused.
A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, then she nodded: "I understand. This time I will definitely not fight back or talk back. For my son, I will fight to the death!"
"For your son?" Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow. "If you're only pursuing your wife for the sake of the child, then I advise you not to go."
Qin Yancheng: "..."
Of course, it's not just for the children!
Also, because he loves Qiao Xingjia!
But if Qin Yancheng had known that his pursuit of his wife would ultimately lead to their complete break, he would never have chosen to go to Sydney on that day...
