Chapter 1528: Before Returning to Beijing

The sky darkened.

Dinner was served.

The four of them sat down in the house to eat and celebrate.

Xie Huilan remained calm, but Luan Xiaoping, the mother-in-law, was the happiest. The higher her daughter-in-law's official position, the prouder she felt. While others praised her son's abilities and skills, Luan Xiaoping didn't care much about her son's capabilities. In her eyes, the most gratifying thing her son had ever done was to find two terrific daughters-in-law.

Qu Yunxuan raised her cup to Xie Huilan, "Congratulations."

"Thank you," Xie Huilan smiled and clinked glasses with her, "Congratulations too. I heard that you're doing an excellent job as a TV host. The provincial station has invited you over more than once, right? Even the central station's program team has called you."

Qu Yunxuan gently touched her daughter's head, "It's still under negotiation. I'm not sure if I'll go."

"Oh, Yunxuan is going to be promoted too," Dong Xuebing quickly toasted her, "That's great. Why not go?"

Qu Yunxuan smiled, "The local station's work is already busy enough, and there's no fixed time to get off work. When will I have time to take care of my obedient daughter if I go to the central station?"

Dong Xuebing immediately volunteered, "I'll take care of her, I'll take care of her."

Luan Xiaoping was the first to object, "Forget it, you're just a big child yourself. How can you take care of a child?"

Dong Xuebing retorted, "Hey, why can't I? I'll be fine."

"If my goddaughter learns from you, she won't know what she'll turn out to be when she grows up," Xie Huilan also disagreed and chuckled, "You, Brother Dong, let me tell you in advance. After my son is born, he will follow me. Otherwise, my mother raises him, but you can't do it. With your temper, always ready to fight and argue with people, if my son learns your ways, what will become of him when he grows up?"

Luan Xiaoping and Qu Yunxuan both laughed.

Dong Xuebing was speechless, "Hey, why do I dislike listening to you guys so much? What's wrong with me? I don't believe it. You'll see if I take care of her for two months."

Qu Yunxuan worriedly said, "You'd better not."

Dong Xuebing was frustrated, "Mom, look at them."

Luan Xiaoping said, "Huilan and Yunxuan make sense. You're too lazy. How can you take care of a child? Unless you live together with them, and you take care of the child together, then Mom will feel at ease."

"Yeah, just having dinner. I'm fine, Sister Yu. I didn't take that minor incident to heart. Don't worry. How are you and Qianqian?"

"We're both fine. Qianqian misses you."

"Hehe, do you miss me too?"

"I do."

"Alright, I'll come see you tomorrow evening."

"Okay."

"I have some social engagements during the day, but I'll come after dinner."

After quickly exchanging a few words, Dong Xuebing hung up the phone. When he came out of the kitchen, he still tried to put on a severe expression, intending to make up some nonsense, but Xie Huilan immediately saw through him.

"A woman?"

"No, a man."

"Why did you have to run to the kitchen to answer the phone if it's a man?"

"Oh, the call was important."

Xie Huilan waved her hand, "My son is about to be born. I'm too lazy to bother with you now. If you want to fool around with someone, go ahead. I can't control you even if I want to."

Dong Xuebing clicked his tongue, "Look at you: one phone call, and you're making a big deal out of it."

"That's because I know what kind of person you are. When you see a pretty woman, your eyes light up. I don't even need to say it."

Dong Xuebing stared, "When did my eyes light up?"

"I dont have time to deal with you now," Xie Huilan rubbed her belly, feeling complete.

Luan Xiaoping also knew her son's temperament well, "Huilan, Yunxuan, eat more. This boy has always been like this. I'll talk to him later."
