Chapter 170
"I haven't slept yet," Yu Nian said teasingly without lowering his voice, "Are you planning to retire early? Let Xiao Qi, who is only three months old, take over your job?"
Ji Yanxing: “…”
Yu Nian pulled a chair and sat next to him. Ji Yanxing was wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt and gray sweatpants, a very homely outfit. He was holding a child in his arms and a document in the other hand, which looked very incongruous.
When Xiao Qi heard his mother's voice, he immediately laughed, revealing his cute dimples. Ji Yanxing frowned and said unhappily, "I'm the one who holds him all day long, so why does he smile at you the moment he sees you?"
To be fair, Yu Nian holds her baby far less frequently than Ji Yanxing. She hired a yoga teacher and spends two hours every day exercising to regain her figure.
But we can't blame her entirely. He was the one who came to the baby room every day when he had nothing to do. Even the hired confinement nanny said that it was the first time she had seen a father who loved children so much.
"Of course it's because I gave birth to him," Yu Nian raised his eyebrows proudly, "and you never smiled at him all day, just hugged him with a stern face, he thought you disliked him."
Ji Yanxing raised his eyebrows: "Do I dislike him for not being able to sleep in the middle of the night to hug him?"
Yu Nian sat in front of him, watching him with crooked eyes while he was looking at the documents, occasionally glancing at Xiao Qi, and then continued looking at the documents, his eyebrows and eyes clear and deep.
"Did you secretly attend some good father training class behind my back?"
Ji Yanxing glared at her: "I just want him to know that his parents love him and that his mom and dad have been with him as he grew up."
Yu Nian's heart softened, because he had never gotten what he wanted, so he didn't want his child to be like him. She stood up, leaned over, kissed Xiao Qi first, then kissed his forehead, and said softly, "You did it perfectly."
Although he is not at home during the day and can only accompany Xiaoqi after get off work, he seems to have taken on most of the responsibilities.
In the evening, he pushed Xiaoqi, Yu Nian held Mumu, and the three of them and the dog went for a walk together.
He would feed Xiaoqi and watch cartoons with him. It was the same cartoon that Yu Nian had watched before, and he watched it again with Xiaoqi.
In fact, before Xiao Qi was born, Yu Nian had never thought that Ji Yanxing would be such a father. He was too hands-on, but his expression was very serious. When he explained the plot of the cartoon to Xiao Qi, he also had a serious face.
Yu Nian watched from the side and found it a bit funny.
She snatched Xiao Qi away, held him on her lap, then looked at Ji Yanxing with a smile, "You smile a lot in front of me, can't you give one to your son?"
"..." Ji Yanxing said indifferently, "You want me to smile at a man?"
Yu Nian: "...but he is your son."
“That’s a man too.”
Yu Nian: "..."
Very principled.
Although Ji Yanxing spends a lot of time with Xiaoqi, he definitely cannot be said to spoil the child. Most of the time, Yu Nian feels that he is a little too strict.
She glanced at his little notebook, which recorded the life plan he made for Xiaoqi. It was so rigorous that it listed what everyone needed to learn and do at each age. It was so perfect that it was comparable to the life plan made by college students.
Yu Nian looked at him in disbelief.
Ji Yanxing explained calmly: "I don't need him to have a strict punishment system like I did when I was a child, but he has to learn everything he should know."
Yu Nian held her chin and looked at him, "If it was a daughter, would you be so strict?"
"Of course, men and women are equal," Ji Yanxing stroked her long hair, "We can't accompany them for their whole lives. In the end, they can only rely on themselves. We have to train our daughter well, otherwise she will be deceived by Huang Mao."
"..." Yu Nian laughed out loud, "I thought you would be a daughter slave."
"Of course I love her, but I hope she can be independent. We are only responsible for supporting her."
Yu Nian looked at him steadily and kissed him, "You are an education expert now."
Ji Yanxing grabbed her wrist, turned over and pressed her under him, "You taught me well."
She was the one who taught him how to love someone.
All this is thanks to her.

Since giving birth to Xiaoqi, Yu Nian has come to appreciate the freedom of a lawyer even more. She works from home and has more time to spend with Xiaoqi.
She followed Ji Yanxing's example and pushed the baby's crib to the study room while she was working, and glanced at him from time to time while she was working.
Xiaoqi is very well behaved. He seldom cries and watches his mother work quietly.
Yu Nian was inexplicably proud that she had given birth to such a well-behaved baby. When Chen Xi came to play with her, he brought a lot of toys for Xiao Qi and gently pinched her face. "Do you like the Ultraman that your godmother brought you from Japan?"
Xiaoqi waved his chubby hands and tried hard to grab the toy.
Chen Xi snorted proudly: "I said, no boy can resist the temptation of Ultraman."
Yu Nian accompanied Chen Xi to play with the child for a while, then handed Xiao Qi to his aunt, and the two went shopping together.
Chen Xi has climbed to the top position in recent years, but she is not the kind of person with a strong career ambition. Now she only takes on movies and occasionally a few advertisements. Her exposure is not too high, but with the accumulation of previous years, she already has a large number of loyal fans. Her popularity is very high. The movies she starred in, whether she is the protagonist or the supporting role, are all well-received.
After knowing each other for so many years, when he saw that she specifically asked him out but talked about other topics, Yu Nian knew that he had something to say.
Sure enough, as soon as the door of the box was closed, Chen Xi looked at her with a pleading look: "Niannian, what should I do?"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xi covered his face with his hands and said vaguely: "He Bai and I slept."
“…”
In the past few years, He Bai has been pursuing Chen Xi, and Chen Xi has been hiding from him whenever possible. Looking back on the matter between her and He Bai, it is hard to say who is sorry to whom. Although it is the grudges and hatreds of the previous generation, she could feel at ease when she didn't know. After knowing, she couldn't be with him without distraction. She always couldn't help but wonder, if He Bai was with her, would many people blame him?
Is he under a lot of pressure inside?
Thinking of this would make her determined to escape, but last night, she won the Best Actress award that she had been dreaming of for several years. She drank too much at the celebration party and when she woke up, she didn't know what happened. He Bai was sleeping next to her.
Yu Nian's eyes twitched: "What do you want to do?"
"I don't know..." Chen Xi cried, "When I'm with him, I always think of that incident. I wonder what kind of mood he is in when he's with me. He said he chose to forget all this, but can he really forget it? If it were me, I would probably remember it for the rest of my life. How could I possibly be with the daughter of my enemy? Damn it, I'm never drinking again!"
Yu Nian didn't know what to say. The suggestions from bystanders were too pale, so she could only play the role of a listener and listen to Chen Xi talk about many things that had happened during this period and her mood.
