Chapter 42 Chapter 42
After the meeting, Yueqing was still nervous for two days, but she didn't expect Jiang Suizhi to really not want to return to the children when he said he didn't want to. He seemed to be very busy these two days and she couldn't see him. However, he remembered what the children said and sent a photo to the children every morning to make sure he had eaten.
This made her feel completely at ease. At least in the short term, she didn't have to worry about the children leaving. As for the future... she didn't want to think about it.
Anyway, she has always been a person who takes things one step at a time.
During the time she had known Jiang Suizhi, she had been observing his attitude and had not detected any hostility from him. This made her feel at ease, so she was in a good mood for the next two days.
Two days later she was going to an interview with Lin Jian, so Sister Wang also came back from her vacation to help take care of the child. She originally wanted to take the child with her, but there was a cocktail party in the evening, and she was worried that the previous situation would happen again and she would not be able to take care of the child and let him be bullied.
Sister Wang hasn't arrived yet. Considering that it would be tiring for her to get here early in the morning, I got up a little earlier to make breakfast for the children and also made a portion for them as well.
The two kids were looking through their phones, and little Le Jia was standing in front of the suitcase that his aunt had placed on the sofa. The suitcase contained the clothes that his aunt was going to wear to work today.
His aunt was going out to earn money, but this time she wasn't taking him and his sister with her, so he felt a little lost.
If they go too, they can take care of my aunt.
Last time, my aunt didn’t sleep or eat well. They were the ones who brought her lunch boxes and chicken legs. I don’t know if my aunt will have chicken legs to eat today. I can’t fall asleep again.
Little Lejia was unhappy: "Uncle System, can my sister and I go to work now?"
"Currently available achievement points are 53,600," the system replied. "Do you want to settle now?"
"I want to work with my aunt!"
"It's too late this time." The system said, "You can save up achievement points and go with Auntie next time."
"Isn't that enough?"
Xiao Lejia felt that ten thousand points was a lot.
The system sighed, "Given your aunt's future worth, you won't be able to reach her. You'll have to save up enough to get the same type of work as her. Just make more videos."
The two kids didn't understand, so they turned to look at their aunt who was busy making breakfast in the kitchen. They thought they could still climb up if they wanted to, because their aunt was not as tall as Uncle Xie.
"One more thing." The system reminded, "Remember your uncle told you that Uncle Xie was sick?"
Little Le Jia nodded.
"I wait for Uncle Xie to have breakfast every day."
"His illness requires more than just breakfast treatment; other methods are also needed," the system said. "If you can cure Uncle Xie and keep him healthy, you will also be rewarded with achievement points."
The cubs were shocked.
Does Uncle Xie still have this kind of effect? Why didn’t he show up earlier?
"But I'm not a doctor." Little Lejia was worried.
"Uncle Xie's illness doesn't require a doctor. All you need to do is be nicer to him and spend more time with him. But don't be too hasty. Take your time. Just looking at pictures on your phone like you did before won't work."
Um?
There is also the disease of life!
"I know it!" Little Le Jia nodded confidently.
Since he couldn't look at the pictures, he had to look at Uncle Xie.
Uncle Xie hadn't sent the pictures to his aunt yet. Little Le Jia got up from the ground and took his sister's hand: "Let's go, we are heroes again."
Meibao was holding the bottle with a confused look on her face, but she still followed her brother obediently.
Little Le Jia poked his head towards the kitchen: "Aunt, let's go find Uncle Xie~"
Why are you looking for your uncle suddenly?
Yue Qing, who was frying something, couldn't leave the fire, but considering that Jiang Sui was on the same floor, he said, "Don't close the door when you go out, and don't go downstairs and climb through the window. Just ring the doorbell. If uncle is not at home, come back."
"Uh-huh!"
In fact, it takes less than 30 seconds to walk from home to the opposite door, but it is the first time for the kids to visit their uncle's house, so they must bring some gifts.
I've already given my uncle candy, so what else can I give him?
Meibao raised the bottle in her hand and said, "Brother, the milk powder tastes good. Can you share it with uncle?"
Yes!
Little Lejia remembered that he had told his uncle that he would share half of the meal with him after dinner, and he also coaxed his uncle to eat.
Sharing half a bottle of milk is nothing! The little man keeps his word.
Their previous friend was just Brother Xuxu. Whenever the babies came across something they liked to eat, they would share it with each other. Now that they have new friends, they have to learn to share as well.
So the two kids rummaged through the drawers and cabinets at home for a while and found the spare milk bottle bought by their aunt, and then ran to the bathroom to wash the bottle.
The sister pours half and the brother pours half, and the gift for Uncle Xie is ready.
Holding my sister's hand, we came to the door of Uncle Xie's house. Looking at the word "Fu" pasted on the door, both of us felt very proud.
Little Lejia let go of his hand and tidied up his sister's messy hair, which his aunt had not had time to comb after waking up. He touched his collar again and then solemnly rang the doorbell next to the fingerprint lock.
Jiang Sui, who had just gotten up and was about to go out to buy breakfast for the children, was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the doorbell.
In order to free up most of today's time, he has been working overtime these two days. Considering that taking care of children in Yueqing requires a regular schedule, I have not gone to disturb him again.
As for Yueqing's words "Come over for dinner", he just regarded it as a polite remark for the time being.
People should always know their own position and not be too shameless.
He might feel more comfortable sitting at the same table with others for a meal with his clients, but it always felt a bit strange to do it with Yueqing and the others.
The only person who rang the doorbell at this time was Yueqing.
Is it because I posted the picture of today’s breakfast too late?
He skillfully picked up the mask, put it on and opened the door.
At first glance, I didn’t see anyone.
"?"
A babyish voice came from below: "Uncle Xie, we are here~"
There was a faint smell of milk in the air.
Jiang then lowered his eyes and finally saw two babies holding hands.
"Thank you, uncle." The kids were very polite.
Seeing this, Jiang opened the door a little: "Why are you here?"
"Uncle is here?" Little Le Jia looked at his stomach, "Check out breakfast."
It really is true that he came here on duty without having breakfast.
Jiang Sui was at a loss for words: "I haven't had time to buy it yet."
Master Qingtang knew clearly that he had indeed bought breakfast these two days. After all, he had already posted the photos and it couldn't be wasted.
But the kids, who had obviously been deceived once, didn't believe him. Their big eyes turned around and around at their uncle. Little Le Jia ordered, "Sister, take out the gift for uncle."
Oh, there are gifts?
Jiang Suizhi was very flattered. This was the first time he received a gift from a child.
He had already leaned over and reached out to prepare his gift, but suddenly Meibao stood on tiptoe and put a pacifier in front of him.
When facing the child, Jiang Sui's reaction speed was half a second slower, and in this instant the pacifier was stuck in his mouth.
His eyes suddenly widened, he stood up straight and took two steps back, and asked in horror: "What is this!"
"The bottle." An An said innocently, "There's milk in it."
I knew it was a baby bottle, and I saw that the white stuff inside was milk!
But! You! Why! Put it in my mouth!
"It's delicious." Because of the mask and the altitude difference, little Le Jia couldn't clearly see his uncle's expression, so he actively promoted it, "The kids next door are crying with greed!"
There are no children next door, only a grown man in his twenties who looks very innocent now!
"Uncle, we made a promise, and I'm going to keep my word," said Le Jia. "My sister and I like to drink milk. My aunt said that drinking milk in the morning is good for the body."
"Yeah." An An also said, "An An and brother will give half to uncle."
Jiang Sui's trigeminal nerve hurts a lot now, even more than when he was forced by Jiang Yan to eat breakfast and meals on time.
Little Le Jia: "Uncle, why don't you speak?"
Xiao Le'an: "Don't you like it?"
Guess why I didn't speak.
Jiang then took a deep breath and said, "I like it, but adults don't need milk anymore."
"That's not right. There are adults drinking Want Want in the supermarket."
Despite saying so, little Le Jia was still very sensitive to his uncle's rejection of the milk.
He took the bottle from his sister's hand. It was still warm. He lowered his head and sniffed it, feeling a little disappointed: "Uncle doesn't like my and my sister's gifts."
Seems like I messed up, oops...
"Sister, let's come visit again next time." He was still very polite. If he gave his uncle a gift that he didn't like, he shouldn't stay here.
Meibao also lowered her head: "Okay."
The frizzy hair seemed to flatten several degrees after this action.
This scene made Mr. Jiang, who was a powerful figure at the negotiation table and in the conference room, feel a chill down his spine, as if he had wasted the kindness of his two sons.
"Wait." He tried to overcome the psychological pressure and walked forward. "Didn't I tell you, I like it."
He held out his hand: "Give it to me."
Little Le Jia handed the bottle in his hand over hesitantly and placed it upright in his uncle's hand.
This milk bottle was even hotter than those tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan worth of contracts. Jiang Suizhi frowned and said, "But you must remember, adults don't need milk bottles when drinking milk."
"Why?"
No one has really studied this.
"You'll understand when you grow up." Jiang Suiyi said in a serious tone.
“Oh oh!”
They agreed with his words, but their bright eyes were still fixed on Uncle Xie's actions.
Jiang Suizhi couldn't bear it any longer. He glanced at the door opposite with a guilty look to make sure no one came out. Then he took a deep breath, unscrewed the nipple of the bottle, pulled down the mask, and poured all the milk into his mouth in one breath.
This time it’s a big one!
He turned the bottle upside down: "Look, drink it up..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure walked out of the door opposite.
Seeing the two kids standing at the door opposite, Yue Qing subconsciously said, "It's time for breakfast..."
Before he finished speaking, Yue Qing also noticed the actions of the man opposite him.
But she didn't pay much attention to the other person's face, because Jiang Sui's action of holding the bottle was really unusual.
"Mr. Jiang?" She asked in a puzzled tone.
Jiang Suiyi reacted immediately and pulled the mask up again, this time really wanting to cover his entire face.
He, no matter whether it is Xie Suizhi or Jiang Suizhi!
For more than twenty years, I have never felt so embarrassed, even when I was starving on the streets!
It was his big reaction that made Yue Qing notice what he was doing when he pulled down his mask.
After two seconds of silence, she tentatively asked, "Are you too hungry?"
Otherwise, she couldn't figure out what reason would make Jiang Sui drink this bottle of milk, and he was not just hungry. Could it be that he only had breakfast in the past few days?
Jiang Suizhi wordlessly screwed the bottle back on and stuffed it into the hands of the two now extremely happy kids, saying in a rigid voice, "Let them explain."
"Auntie!" Little Le Jia looked back proudly, "This is a gift from my sister and I to Mr. Xie!"
He shook the bottle, which was still a third full.
Only after the two children turned around did Yueqing see that they were each holding a bottle in their hands.
But today, I only filled two bottles of milk, and I saw the two children start to drink, so the bottle Jiang Sui drank...
It’s okay, it’s my dad’s drink.
I shouldn't mind.
But she couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
"Something's going on." Jiang Suizhi pressed his brows, "Let's send them to kindergarten. It's not a big deal if they don't have a diploma."
At least you should learn not to give your baby bottles to your neighbors!
It seems that the blow he received was quite great. Yue Qing felt that a big reason was that he was seen by himself.
But it's really kind of funny.
"It seems that riding a rocking car is not something that is difficult to accept."
At least now she's balanced.
To help Jiang Sui recover from the awkwardness, Yue Qing looked at the two children and asked, "Are you going there just to give your uncle a gift?"
"Watch uncle eat." Little Le Jia said, "Let uncle be healthy."
Jiang Suiyi said in a cold tone: "Watch it less often. It might be unhealthy to continue watching it."
"puff."
Yue Qing couldn't help laughing, putting her hands to her lips.
Everyone on the opposite side, big and small, looked at him with mixed expressions. Yue Qing had no choice but to change the subject: "Have you eaten yet?"
"Uncle said he didn't buy it."
"Then let's go together." Yue Qing moved aside to make way for the door. "We've done a lot today."
Jiang Suizhi's reaction was slowed down by the impact of the milk, and he couldn't clearly tell whether he should accept or refuse at this time, but someone had already made the decision for him.
He felt a tingling sensation on the back of his hand, and his hand trembled slightly, and he dodged back.
But I didn't escape.
Little Le Jia had already grabbed his index finger: "Uncle, I'll coax you to eat."
Uncle System said not to be too anxious, so just pulling it a little with your fingertips should be fine!
Jiang Suizhi really wanted to pull his hand back, but when he thought of the hurt look in the child's eyes after being rejected, he couldn't do it.
He could only let him pull him forward stiffly, to prevent his other hand from being "attacked" by Meibao. He silently put his other hand into his trouser pocket, leaving only one finger, and tightened the others.
Seeing him coming, Yueqing turned and went into the house and brought out breakfast in the kitchen.
Jiang Suizhi, sitting at the dining table, felt that things were not going according to his schedule at all.
After what happened in this house a few days ago, he initially thought that relying on his two children to help desensitize himself might be a good idea. Because his emotions would be influenced, he couldn't focus all his attention on being on guard. He just needed to pay more attention to some uncontrollable physiological reactions.
But now he found that this method simply didn't work.
The children's behavior and degree are uncontrollable, and he cannot predict and deal with it accordingly. If they pull a finger this time and there is more intimate contact than expected next time, he is worried that he will not be able to control himself.
Now only the children could bring him a vague positive impact on his emotions. As for controlled touch...
In the kitchen, Yue Qing brought out breakfast: "Don't be disgusted."
There is porridge, steamed fruits, fried dumplings and noodles all available.
It's a breakfast that ordinary people eat, so I really can't dislike it.
Jiang Suiji couldn't help but think of the few dumplings left in his refrigerator. They were all made in Yueqing and he didn't have time to eat them.
At this moment, he seemed to have a real sense of reality. These dumplings were made by someone he knew, and even... he could be considered half a family member.
"Uncle~" Little Le Jia had already moved his chair and sat next to his uncle. He stretched out his short little hands to share chopsticks with his uncle.
Meibao, sitting on the other side, was determined to take good care of the customer and handed over a spoon: "This is porridge."
After the brother and sister finished their meal, they put on their bibs obediently, picked up the children's chopsticks and sat down.
They didn't start eating right away, but followed my aunt closely, waiting for her to sit down with them, and said softly, "Aunt, you've worked hard~"
Yueqing put some fried dumplings on the two kids' plates and said, "Let's see who eats the cleanest today."
"It's me!"
The cubs said in unison, it seemed that they had experienced this many times, and they buried their heads in the small bowls in unison.
After taking a few sips, little Le Jia finally remembered that there was an uncle next to him.
He raised his head from the bowl, with porridge grains still on the edge of his mouth. He whispered, "Uncle, eat it. If you don't waste it, Auntie will give you milk slices as a reward."
Now Jiang Suisui understood why the child smelled so strongly of milk.
He talks about milk every three sentences.
He glanced at Yueqing who was sitting opposite him. He seemed as if nothing had happened and there was no one else at home. He was concentrating on eating without making any small movements, which was very pleasing to the eye.
No wonder he was able to teach his two children such good eating habits.
Since he was already sitting here, it would be rude to need the host to greet him again. Jiang took off his mask and put it aside, then picked up the spoon next to him.
At the door, the kids were busy watching their uncle drink milk. Now that there was no big height difference, they could also see their uncle's face up close. Little Le Jia tilted his head and blinked, "Uncle, you can act on TV too."
"What?"
"Uncle is so cool."
In the eyes of children, good-looking people are good at acting in TV shows: "Uncle can act in many TV shows."
Because uncle is so handsome!
Jiang Sui had heard many people compliment his appearance. It was just a shell, but it was rare for him to feel so proud of it as he did now.
The most important thing was that this showed that his behavior of drinking milk just now did not reduce his points in the eyes of the two children. He chuckled: "How cool is it?"
Little Le Jia put down his chopsticks and stretched out ten fingers, but felt that was not enough and borrowed a few more from his sister.
"Leave one." An An said selfishly, "This is for my aunt."
Yue Qing, who had been eating quietly, looked up when he heard this and found it a little funny: "Is there still a portion for me?"
Meibao said with an expression of "of course" that "my aunt is pretty in every way."
Because he looked up, Yue Qing also saw Jiang Suizhi's appearance on the opposite side.
She was mentally prepared that a father who could give birth to two children like him could not be ugly. Moreover, after seeing his eyes, she could guess that he must be very good-looking. Sure enough, the face under the mask was even better than she had imagined.
The few times I've met Jiang Suizhi, he never looks like a group president. He never wears formal clothes. Instead, he alternates between leather jackets and casual overcoats. Today, he's wearing a black overcoat that reaches his calves. He's not wearing glasses, and his hair is a little messy from waking up in the morning. He looks like a casual male model who walked out of a magazine.
His facial features tend to be deep and three-dimensional, making him very photogenic. He also has a natural sharpness. His lips are redder than those of ordinary people, which adds a bit of extra beauty.
It is indeed worthy of the children's fingers, and looking at this face, you can understand why Jiang Sui was reluctant to take off his mask in the past.
Because he and his sister do look somewhat similar, if they go out together, I believe someone will be able to tell that they are related.
Fearing that he might offend someone, Yue Qing quickly looked away.
There was one new person in the house, but maybe because they had known each other for a long time, she didn't find it strange.
Halfway through the meal, I heard a noise at the door. It was Sister Wang who came back.
She brought a lot of bags and some homemade side dishes, and Yueqing hurriedly got up to help her.
Sister Wang was very embarrassed: "We have guests. Sorry I'm late."
"It's okay, this is a neighbor." Yue Qing took the things in her hand, "His surname is Jiang. You can let him in any time when you come to our house in the future."
"Oh, Jiang... Jiang?" Sister Wang finally saw who the man standing at the dining table was from between the small vegetable jars. She immediately took a breath of cold air until President Jiang shook his head gently at her.
Does this mean it can’t be exposed yet?
Sister Wang, who was used to working in wealthy families, quickly responded: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, you are really a handsome man. Then I will go and pack these things first."
Yueqing: "No hurry, eat first."
By eating at the same table with Mr. Jiang, Sister Wang felt that her lifespan might be shortened.
"I've eaten." Sister Wang said hurriedly, "You guys eat first, and I'll clean up after you're done."
Yueqing had a lot of things to do today, so he didn't continue to be polite with her, but sat back in his seat.
Sister Wang took out a can of pickled radish and plated it separately. She remembered that Mr. Jiang didn't like to share food with others, so she put the separate plates together and served them out. "This is the pickled radish I made myself. Try some. If you like it, I'll make it here again. This one is for the children, so it's not that exciting."
Yue Qing said sincerely: "Thank you, Sister Wang, it's thoughtful."
He added, "I might be back very late. If it's time, just let the children wash up and go to bed. There's no need to wait for me."
Sister Wang handed a separate copy to Jiang Sui and replied, "Okay, you can work with peace of mind, Mr. Jiang..."
Due to distraction and a little bit of nervousness about being 007, she accidentally spilled some juice from the radish dish onto Mr. Jiang's clothes.
Sister Wang's face suddenly changed. She quickly put down the plate and went to get a wet wipe: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang!"
The moment her hand was about to touch him, Jiang suddenly stood up.
The movement was so big that the others were stunned for a moment, and the two little carrots were still half stuck in their mouths: "Shh, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Jiang Suizhi raised his hand to block Sister Wang's movements. "You are busy, I will handle it myself."
Sister Wang had only occasionally cleaned and cooked for Mr. Jiang's family before, so she didn't really know him very well. Upon hearing this, she had no choice but to withdraw her hand: "Okay, okay, I'm really sorry."
Seeing this, Yue Qing couldn't help but feel more suspicious.
I originally thought that Jiang Sui's mysophobia was an excuse for wearing a mask, but now it seems that his mysophobia is really serious.
"Does it need any help?" she asked.
"No impact." Jiang Suiyi took a tissue and wiped it casually, then sat down again and finished the rest of his breakfast as if nothing had happened, even the radish with soup spilled on his clothes.
Hmm? Is this mysophobia or not?
After dinner, Jiang Suizhi returned to the opposite side. Seeing that his uncle was eating quietly, the two children did not disturb him to go to work, but followed his aunt closely.
"Don't work too hard, auntie."
"Auntie, be good. We will be good too. Auntie, come home early."
This was the first time Yue Qing had been separated from them for such a long time since coming to this world. Seeing the two cubs eagerly prying at the door, she smiled and leaned over to touch their heads: "Well, you should also listen to Aunt Wang and go to bed early."
After a pause, he added softly, "I'll be back."
This was the first time she experienced someone waiting for her to go home when she left. This feeling made leaving a torment, but it also made her look forward to it from that moment on.
At this moment, Yueqing was very grateful to Jiang Suizhi.
After separating from the two children, she closed the door and pressed the elevator button. At this time, the door opposite also opened. Jiang Sui changed into another coat of the same color, but this time he wore a mask and glasses.
Yue Qing didn't ask too much about other people's private affairs. She took out a box of milk slices from her pocket and said, "The kids asked me to give this to you."
Jiang Suizhi naturally stood beside her, and it seemed that he was also going out. He lowered his eyes and took the children's snack: "Give it to me?"
"Yeah." Yue Qing smiled, "It's a reward for Uncle for not wasting food after finishing it."
Remembering what happened at the dinner table, Jiang Sui also laughed and put the milk slices in his pocket.
The two of them walked into the elevator together. While waiting for the elevator to descend, Jiang Suizhi suddenly said, "There's something I want to talk to you about."
"Now?" Yue Qing checked the time. "Is it urgent? I might be a little rushed right now."
"Looking for Lin Jian?"
"How do you know?"
"I talked to her a little about the baby the day before yesterday." Jiang Suizhi didn't hide anything about it. "I want to take you there? I'm going there too. I'm also going to a cocktail party tonight. I can give you a ride on the way back."
Yueqing actually planned to take a taxi, as she didn't know whether she needed to drink any alcohol at the evening party.
After hearing what Jiang Sui said, she agreed because she felt that what the other party was talking about might be related to the child.
"Thank you very much."
After getting in the car, Yueqing fastened his seat belt: "So what's the matter?"
"I think you might have noticed some of my less-than-normal behavior." Jiang Suizhi looked at the road, his tone as casual as a conversation, "Like mysophobia."
"Don't worry." Yue Qing has a good understanding of himself. "I won't ask too much about your private matters."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Suizhi gave a short laugh: "Maybe you can ask."
"What?"
"This mysophobia is the personal reason I told you the other day." Jiang Suizhi told this secret to other people besides the doctor for the first time, and his hands gripping the steering wheel tightened unconsciously.
But he also knew clearly that if he wanted to have long-term contact with his child in the future, he had to take this step, regardless of whether Yueqing would or could agree to help him.
Yue Qing was not unaware of his struggle and listened attentively: "Go ahead."
"It's not mysophobia." Jiang Suizhi stopped the car at a red light at the intersection. He took off his glasses and raised the corner of his mouth in a self-deprecating smile. "It's a mental illness."
Yueqing's pupils shrank slightly.
"It's not that I'm afraid of touching others. On the contrary, it's an uncontrollable urge that's been repeatedly suppressed." He said slowly, "It's a skin hunger."
