Mingli looked proud and smug. "That's right! You won't lose out by dating me!"
Qiao Zhen laughed so hard her shoulders were shaking. She handed Mingli back to Mingyan, "I have something to do, I'll go back first." She gently patted Mingli's head, "Goodbye."
She looked up and nodded to Mingyan before turning and leaving. She secretly estimated Mingyan's height to be around 1.84 meters, more than a head taller than Qiao Zhen.
The original owner was 1.6 meters tall, the height of a cute girl.
"Miss Qiao, please wait a moment." Mingyan walked up to Qiao Zhen with measured steps. "I wonder if Miss Qiao needs an easy job lately?"
Qiao Zhen looked up at Ming Yan, her eyes filled with doubt. "Please speak."
Mingyan looked down at Mingli, who was clutching his collar with her chubby little hands. "How about being a family nanny? You only need to take care of Mingli. The monthly salary is 20,000 yuan. You can take care of Mingli during the week and take him out to play on weekends. All expenses will be reimbursed."
Qiao Zhen weighed the pros and cons in her mind, "Okay, but only after I move."
Mingyan took out a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to Qiao Zhen. "My phone number is on it. Miss Qiao, you can contact me before you come over."
Qiao Zhen took the business card, which was gold-plated. Her gaze towards Ming Yan instantly darkened; she felt like she'd caught a sucker, but she had to keep her thoughts to herself. "Okay, see you next time."
As Qiao Zhen's figure disappeared from sight, Ming Li looked at Ming Yan expectantly, "Look, she was so beautiful when her eyes were shining just now, wasn't she?"
"Yes." He agreed outright.
When Qiao Zhen saw the gold-plated business card, her eyes lit up instantly, not with greed but with cunning, a very lively look that also concealed a little scheme.
The real estate agent entrusted by Mr. Joe was very efficient. He negotiated a price with the buyer in three days, and the buyer was also very decisive, buying the house within a week.
Mr. Qiao went to the West District to look at a bigger house. Besides preparing a dowry for Qiao Zhen, he and Mrs. Qiao had enough savings, the money from selling the house, and Qiao Zhen's savings to pay for it in one lump sum. However, they would have to tighten their belts and live a life of eating cabbage from now on.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao discussed putting Qiao Zhen's name on the new house, but Qiao Zhen refused.
She would protect what belonged to the original owner, but she would not covet what belonged to Qiao's parents.
After everything was settled, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao moved to the new house with Qiao Zhen, and Qiao Zhen also contacted Ming Yan to prepare to take care of Ming Li.
When Qiao's father learned that Qiao Zhen had found a job again, he was naturally very happy and stopped paying attention to those relatives.
Qiao's mother was an orphan with no parents and a weak personality. She listened to Qiao's father when he could make decisions, and discussed with him when he couldn't. If they couldn't reach a decision, they would ask Qiao Zhen for his opinion and then decide whether to proceed.
Qiao Zhen carried her black backpack to the address Ming Yan had given her. It was a very luxurious residential area, a quiet environment carved out in the bustling city.
She stood opposite a large vegetable garden, looking at the cobblestone path. The layout inside resembled an ancient courtyard, exuding refinement and grandeur.
Qiao Zhen stood still, not daring to move. It would be very impolite and embarrassing if she accidentally walked into a place she shouldn't be. Would she do something so shameful?
Mingli toddled over to Qiao Zhen's side and hugged her leg. "Woman! You're finally here! This CEO has been waiting for you for so long!"
Qiao Zhen steadied Ming Li to prevent him from falling. "Ming Li... Little President, could you show me the way? The roads here are all over the place, and I could easily get lost."
Mingli grabbed Qiao Zhen's hand, and his chubby little hand pressed the pomegranate-red button on the nearby stone pillar. Soon, a servant rushed to the pillar, waiting for Mingli's instructions. "Woman, there are buttons on these stone pillars. Press one and someone will come to help, understand?"
Qiao Zhen stared dumbfounded at the button, feeling utterly amazed. After all, they were rich people; poverty had stifled her imagination, and she felt ashamed.
Mingli led her through the winding courtyard to the courtyard with the plaque "Huanxi Spring". "This is where my uncle and I live. If you think it's too much trouble to go back and come back, you can stay here too."
Just as Qiao was about to refuse, Ming Li added, "This CEO knows how to pamper women!"
Wow, he's already good at flirting at such a young age, he'll definitely be amazing when he grows up!
Qiao Zhen bent down and pinched his cheek. "You should read less of those books in the future, okay? Your teenage phase came a little too early. You'll regret it when you meet your true love later."
Mingli frowned unhappily, "No, that's not true. My feelings for you are true love."
Qiao Zhen didn't treat Ming Li with the same joking attitude. She knelt on the ground, looking Ming Li in the eye to show her seriousness. "What do you like about me?"
Mingli counted on her fingers earnestly, "It's as if something in the dark is drawing me to you. On my first day of kindergarten, you were the one who led me into the classroom. Isn't that fate?"
Qiao Zhen tilted her head and thought carefully, mimicking his expression. "But these are all things I should do. No matter which child I see getting lost in kindergarten, I will help her find her class."
Mingli shook his head in distress, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He pondered for a while before it suddenly dawned on him, "But it was you who led me to the class, so it must be fate. For you, it's just a duty, but for me, it was love at first sight."
Qiao Zhen shook her head. She felt she was being a bit delusional, discussing true love with a three- or four-year-old child. But she still asked, unwilling to give up, "You're so young, do you even know what true love is?"
