MSISAS |Chapter 28: Where Did the Baby Come From

Xu Qing got up early, and she kept staring at Lu Xianzhi. How could someone be so good-looking?

Her heart was pounding. Her mind was filled with sweet thoughts, as if she wanted to become a conjoined twin with Lu Xianzhi.

Xu Qing couldn’t help but hug Lu Xianzhi tightly again, lowering her head to give her a peck, so cute.

Lu Xianzhi was forcibly woken up, turned over, and faced away from Xu Qing, who reluctantly got out of bed.

The mode of a virtuous wife and loving mother activated.

Lu Xianzhi tossed and turned for a while, but couldn’t fall back asleep, so she rubbed her eyes, washed up, and went downstairs.

As soon as she got downstairs, she saw Xu Qing, the virtuous wife and loving mother. Haha! With her lazy habits, she’d certainly found the right person.

Lu Xianzhi was eating the breakfast Xu Qing had prepared, still a bit bleary-eyed, her eyes slightly open.

Xu Qing smiled, “Still can’t open your eyes?”

“Isn’t it your fault! Woke me up so early!”

“My bad.”

“You’re such a troublemaker.”

“I am a troublemaker.”

“At least you know it. Hmph.”

Eating her fried egg, Lu Xianzhi finally managed to fully open her eyes. Forget it, she decided not to be angry. After all, she still had work to do later.

Xu Qing carried Lu Xianzhi’s childish water bottle, holding Lu Xianzhi’s small hand as they got into the car.

As soon as Lu Xianzhi got in the car, she hugged the bottle and drank water. Three bottles a day was the norm.

With her long hair slightly drooping, she looked very well-behaved, and Xu Qing couldn’t help but stroke Lu Xianzhi’s head.

The little assistant nearby expressed that she was full and belched.

Lu Xianzhi was about to join a crew again. This time, it would take three months; it was a web series. After all, Lu Xianzhi’s current status didn’t allow her to take on big productions.

But recently, her resources seemed to be improving.

After all, these were all audition opportunities.

Lu Xianzhi was already quite satisfied. Just being able to be in a drama was the happiest thing.

But it would be hard on Xu Qing. However, she could come to visit the set.

Just that the two who had just fallen in love always wanted to stick together.

“You! Be good and go back to work, okay! Earn a lot of money to buy things for Xiao Zhi.”

“Okay.”

Xu Qing always listened to Lu Xianzhi.

After returning to the company, Xu Qing received a letter sent by her mother.

She was silent for a long time.

Jiangnan, it was time to go.

It was a sunny day in May.

Xu Qing booked a plane ticket and prepared to go to Jiangnan the next day.

As usual, she made a video call to Lu Xianzhi. Over there, Xiao Zhi was washing her face, looking soft and white, her big eyes moist and soft.

Watching this made Xu Qing’s heart itch; she wanted to hug her.

“I need to go on a trip out of town tomorrow.”

“Go ahead!”

“Aren’t you going to say anything to me?”

“Hm? What should I say?”

Xu Qing looked at Lu Xianzhi with a grievance-filled expression, making Lu Xianzhi feel puzzled. What exactly should I say?

“Goodbye?”

“Are you dumb! Will you miss me?”

“It’s not like we can’t see each other, plus we have video calls, right?”

“Just say you’ll miss me.”

“…”

“Consider it as a favor to me.”

“Miss you, miss you!”

“So perfunctory, you’re acting like a heartless girl now, a deceiver of feelings.”

Xu Qing became more aggrieved as she spoke.

Lu Xianzhi moved her face closer to the screen.

“Mwah!”

“Gave you a kiss! Be good! I’ll miss you, Qingqing.”

Xu Qing couldn’t take it; too soft, directly hitting her heart. Ah, she just wanted to crawl over through the internet.

Just after hanging up the phone, she received a call from Uncle Chen: “Kid, aren’t you going to acknowledge the child?”

“You can give it to whoever you want.”

The amount of information was simply too much.

On the other side of the line was Uncle Chen and a foreign woman’s voice speaking English.

“How can you be so heartless?”

“Don’t bother me. I don’t want to see you or that child.”

“You!”

After a while, Uncle Chen managed to talk to Xu Qing.

“Hey, Xu Qing, you heard, right?”

“Yeah.”

“I can’t leave here for now, the company still needs your help to take care of it.”

“No problem, Uncle Chen, but your pursuit of your wife seems a bit difficult!”

“Ahem, don’t mention it, it’s all from being immature in youth. It’s like courting disaster now.”

“Oh, by the way, the child will arrive at your house tomorrow, please look after them.”

“???”

“Child?”

“Uncle Chen, when did this child appear?”

“Brought back, their mother doesn’t care for them, and their grandma just passed away, they might need more of your care.”

“?”

“I know it’s hard for you to accept, but I’m counting on you!”

“I got it…”

Xu Qing had no choice but to refund the plane ticket, not delaying it since who knew when Uncle Chen would come back?

Ah, what a mess.

The next morning, sure enough, a little kid arrived, looking about four years old.

What amazed Xu Qing were the child’s purple eyes, probably inherited from the mother.

The kid looked very well-behaved, very cute, inheriting Uncle Chen’s good genes with a high nose bridge.

They also seemed taller than an average four-year-old.

Xu Qing hugged the little girl clutching a rabbit doll. The rabbit doll was somewhat worn out, still patched up, but the child still loved it.

Xu Qing noticed the child was a bit silent, not having said a word since coming in.

Xu Qing squatted down, “Kid, what’s your name?”

The child blinked their big eyes at Xu Qing, perhaps warmed by her smile.

“Chen… Nian.”

It didn’t seem as bad as it could be.

At least there were no issues with communication.

The little girl clung tightly, never leaving Xu Qing’s side.

Xu Qing had to carry Chen Nian to the company. Along the way, the employees were amazed; Xu Qing was so fast, already having a child.

The little child in her arms was so cute, still smelling of milk, clutching the rabbit toy.

Sitting in her office chair, Chen Nian ran over, grabbing Xu Qing’s sleeve.

Seeing her clinginess, Xu Qing lifted her onto her lap, and little Chen Nian hugged Xu Qing, burying her head in Xu Qing’s embrace.

Xu Qing patted the child’s fine soft hair.

Ah, so clinging, but her experience was somewhat similar to Xu Qing’s when she was younger.

So Xu Qing paid her extra attention.

“Nian Nian, is it okay if I call you that?”

“Mm.” The child’s sweet, sticky voice came through. Such a cute child, who wouldn’t love her?

Xu Qing wrapped an arm around little Nian Nian.

Maybe it was a sense of security or a release of tension, but Nian Nian fell asleep in Xu Qing’s arms.

Returning home, when Lu Xianzhi saw the extra child in the video, she was silent.

“This is my Uncle Chen’s kid, he asked me to help take care of her.”

“I knew it, where did a baby come from. It wouldn’t grow this big even if you were fast.”

“Not mine.”

“I know, those purple eyes are so pretty. Baby, what’s your name?”

Chen Nian was a bit silent but still answered Lu Xianzhi.

“Such a good baby, Sister will come to play with you next time, okay?”

Chen Nian liked this sister; Sister was pretty, and Sister’s words were sweet.

“Mm.” Her babyish voice almost melted Lu Xianzhi.

“Where did this cute baby come from, Sister will be back in two months! Sister wants to cuddle the baby to sleep.”

“Like Sister, want Sister to hug!”

Chen Nian stretched her arms out towards Lu Xianzhi, who was sparkling with bright eyes, too cute!

“Baby! Sister likes you too.”

Xu Qing felt she had found herself a rival.

Lu Xianzhi was already eager.

After chatting with Lu Xianzhi for a while, Xu Qing went to sleep holding Nian Nian.

The little one slept well, very quietly.

But in the middle of the night, Nian Nian cried, as she should. The only person who had ever loved her, her grandma, was gone.

“I want Grandma. Wuwuwu…”

“Grandma went to another place, but when the time is right, Grandma will come and pick up Nian Nian.”

“Pick up Nian Nian?”

“Mm.” Xu Qing gently patted Chen Nian’s back.

“Your grandma also said, as long as Nian Nian is good, Grandma will come earlier to pick you up, okay?”

“Mm, Nian Nian will be good.”

“Go back to sleep now, good baby.”

In no time, Chen Nian was coaxed back to sleep.

After all, she’s still a child. White lies, she could find the answers herself later.
