Qin Yu knew that her baby liked Lin Xi, but he never thought that after getting along with her for less than half a day, her baby already liked her to the point of wanting her to be a mother.
He couldn't help but ask, "You just met her today. Why do you like her so much?"
Qin Chengqi thought seriously for a while, but he couldn't think of anything, so he frowned: "I don't know either, but I really like her. She has something like daddy on her."
Smell, expression, and subconscious movements all gave people a familiar feeling. Lin Xi had lived with Qin Yu before, if the baby said something like "Daddy", it would be fine if it was something Lin Xi could subconsciously say. But if it was intentional, then she must be someone with a deep scheming mind.
Qin Yu did not want to think badly of them, but since it involved the baby, he had to be more cautious.
Qin Yu said, "In the future, you will meet an aunt that you like more …"
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Father will bring you to see an aunt tomorrow, okay?"
He did not mention Lin Xi's wrongdoings in front of the baby. He did not want to ruin the baby's impression of Lin Xi, so as to not make the baby sad. But in order for the baby to give up on Lin Xi, the best way was to find a real mother for him as soon as possible.
Even though everyone knew that he already had an illegitimate child, there was no lack of women by Qin Yu's side. As long as the baby liked it and the other party had a good personality, Qin Yu could try to accept her.
However, Qin Chengqi's little friend didn't have much interest in the other aunties. He pouted and said coquettishly, "But I don't like the other aunties. I only like Sister Lin Xi."
Qin Yu tried to reason with him, "But you haven't even met that aunt, how do you know that you don't like her? At least we'll meet tomorrow. If you really don't like it, Daddy won't force you. "
Qin Chengqi's little friend was slightly moved by his father's words.
He asked hesitantly, "Then should we go see Auntie tomorrow?"
Qin Yu acknowledged, and said: "Tomorrow, father will rest, and can accompany you for an entire day, which can be considered as compensation for breaking your promise today. After that, we can also go and meet that aunt, okay?"
"Okay ~" Once the little friend heard that Qin Yu could accompany him for one more day, he immediately became happy and quickly agreed.
When Qin Yu saw the excited look on Yue Yang's face, the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up.
He gently pinched the baby's butt and said, "Alright, it's getting late now. Let's go back to bed and sleep."
After Qin Chengqi's friend was no longer angry at his father, he started to act coquettishly again.
He snuggled into Qin Yu's embrace, not willing to get down, and even took the opportunity to climb onto Qin Yu's neck. Then, he whispered into Qin Yu's ear.
After he finished speaking, he buried his face into Qin Yu's neck in embarrassment and rubbed it like a little dog.
Ever since the baby was sent to Qin Yu's side at the age of one and a half, it had always been Qin Yu personally taking care of him. Because the baby had just left his mother and was sick, he was very attached to Qin Yu. He had to be carried by Qin Yu at night to sleep.
This situation continued for more than a year until the Qin’s became more and more busy due to the expansion of the stem cell business. Every time Qin Yu returned home, it would become later and later, and the baby would sometimes have to wait until midnight before they could sleep together.
Qin Yu realized that this was not the best way to continue sleeping, hence he suggested to sleep in a separate room.
This was also recommended by the doctor. It was the first step to cultivate a child's independent awareness and separate their beds from the adults.
Although the baby was raised delicately by Qin Yu, it was actually more obedient than normal children. When they first slept in separate rooms, he did not really cry, but at night, he would often sneak into Qin Yu's room and sneak into Qin Yu's bed.
But after he was three years old, he had never slept with Qin Yu again.
Today, the baby suddenly said that she wanted to sleep with Qin Yu, which was why Qin Yu agreed to it without hesitation.
By the time the two of them lay down side by side, the baby was already yawning.
"Happy Birthday." Qin Yu kissed the top of his head and tucked him in.
The baby forced open her eyes, tilted her head and suddenly apologized to Qin Yu: "Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten angry at you today, and I shouldn't have run around and made you and Uncle Yao Jing anxious."
Qin Yu coaxed him with a soft voice: "Sleep, Daddy will always love you."
"I love you too …" The baby's voice trailed off, and a moment later his breathing grew longer.
After confirming that the baby beside him was sleeping soundly, Qin Yu then took out his own phone and opened the previous message.
The message was from a girl called Chu Lan. She knew that it was's birthday, so she sent him a message to send her blessings.
Because of his business relation, he had eaten with Chu Lan a few meals before. Chu Lan's looks suited him, adding that she had a gentle personality and knew when to stop, she was one of the few women that Qin Yu had a good impression of.
He knew that Chu Lan liked him, but he only had a good impression of Chu Lan, so he did not like her too much. Thus, when Qin Yu noticed her feelings, he intentionally kept a distance between them.
Thus, when he received the text message earlier, he did not intend to care about it.
But now, when Qin Yu thought of her again, after considering all of this, he felt that she should be someone who would treat her children gently.
If the baby didn't reject her, maybe she would be a good mother...
Thinking about this, Qin Yu replied his with a text message, inviting her to meet him tomorrow.
Very quickly, Qin Yu received her affirmative reply.
Qin Yu did not continue to chat with her. After he received a reply, he turned off his phone, closed his eyes and accompanied the baby to sleep.
The next morning, when the father and son duo woke up, it was still Qin Yu who cooked the rice. The baby cooperatively drank all the porridge in the bowl.
Qin Yu played with the little baby for a while longer before the two changed their clothes and went to meet Chu Lan.
The date was at a private restaurant, and when Qin Yu arrived with the baby, Chu Lan had already been waiting for a while.
Although Chu Lan's appearance wasn't the most beautiful one, she had a gentle temperament that could easily be liked by children.
The baby looked at her curiously, but didn't show any rejection. Instead, he politely called out, "Hello Auntie."
Seeing that the baby was willing to take the initiative to greet Chu Lan, Qin Yu's impression of him was not bad, and in his heart, he was even more satisfied with Chu Lan.
"Good girl." Chu Lan praised the baby a little.
Perhaps it was due to her looks and disposition, but when she spoke of it, she seemed sincere and sincere.
She pushed a wooden box in front of the baby and said, "I heard it was your birthday yesterday. This is a birthday present from auntie. I wish you a happy birthday. Although it's a day late, I still hope that you can accept it. "
The baby looked up at Qin Yu, who indicated that he could accept it. He politely thanked her, then curiously opened the box.
Inside was a simulated aircraft carrier that was smaller than a train. The aircraft on the deck was still removable.
Boys have always been obsessed with military toys since childhood, and the baby is no exception. His eyes lit up when he saw the aircraft carrier. It's an aircraft carrier, I really like it. "
"Thank you Auntie." The baby thanked Chu Lan again, her tone sounding much closer than before.
Chu Lan, who was at the side, heaved a sigh of relief. If this baby could please her, then it would be worth it for her to ask about the baby's preferences from Xing Lie.
In the recent years, everyone had seen how much Qin Yu liked this child.
Therefore, in order to become a "Mrs. Qin", one had to first win the favor of their child. And now, she had a good start.
Chu Lan was very good at trying to please others, but because of her personality, she did not seem like she was flattering others at all.
Qin Yu watched all of this silently.
In the meal that followed, Chu Lan took care of the baby a lot. She looked gentle and patient, and his meal seemed to be quite harmonious.
Just as the meal was ending, Qin Yu's phone suddenly rang. It was the company's number.
He looked at the baby who was eating her dessert, then looked at Chu Lan who was taking good care of him, so as to not disturb the two of them, he signalled to them, got up and went to answer the phone.
After Qin Yu left, Chu Lan glanced at the door, and suddenly asked the baby: "Do you miss your mother?"
The baby looked up at Chu Lan in confusion and subconsciously put down the small spoon that was used to scoop up the pudding.
Since he had become sensible, he had been very sensitive to the topic of "mother." Although he longed to be accompanied by his mother like other children, he did not like others discussing his lack of a mother.
Chu Lan was acutely aware that the baby was against her, and immediately explained: "Auntie didn't mean anything, I just wanted to understand you more."
Although she said that, in reality, she only wanted to know about Qin Chengqi's mother.
Qin Yu had always kept this a secret from Qin Chengqi's mother, and had not leaked any information at all. Everyone could not help but guess her identity, and Chu Lan was one of them.
Chu Lan liked Qin Yu, so she naturally wanted to be the Mrs. Qin in her heart.
However, in order to become a Mrs. Qin, one had to have some understanding of the "former Mrs. Qin" — that is, the mother of the baby, in order to prevent others from interfering when the time came.
But when she asked around, she only found Qin Chengqi's mother to be extremely mysterious. It was only because she was helpless that she thought of asking this kind of thing from a child's mouth.
Who would have thought that he would violate the taboo of a child? The intimacy he had painstakingly built just a moment ago disappeared just like that.
Chu Lan was extremely regretful in her heart.
She coaxed the baby, "If you don't want to talk about it, let's go on with the pudding."
As she spoke, she scooped up a piece of pudding to feed the baby, but the baby avoided it.
His expression was clearly unhappy, but his good upbringing made him say, "Thank you Auntie, but I'm full and don't want to eat anymore."
Chu Lan awkwardly put down the spoon in her hand.
Just then, Qin Yu finished receiving the call and walked in.
He was keenly aware that the atmosphere wasn't right, so he asked the baby, "What's wrong?"
The baby looked up at him and said in a soft voice, "I want to go home."
Qin Yu heard a bit of grievance from his words, and couldn't help but frown.
After he left, there were only two people at the table, the only one who could make him feel wronged was Chu Lan.
However, Qin Yu had a good impression of him, he did not want to embarrass Chu Lan, so he did not ask further. Instead, he picked up the baby with one hand and said: "Alright, let's go home."
After picking up the baby, he turned to Chu Lan and said, "Sorry, I'll have to send the baby back first."
Chu Lan had always been restraining herself from going in and out in front of Qin Yu, thus, although she was unwilling, and did not want the date to end like this, she did not try to force them to stay either, but maintained her dignity and waved goodbye to the two of them.
Chu Lan did not leave with them, but vexedly stayed in the private box for a while longer.
She complained that she had asked too many questions and that it was too hard to please a child.
She was still sulking when her cell phone suddenly rang.
The phone call was from her sister. Her sister knew that she was dating Qin Yu today, and was even more concerned about it than her, probably because the date was about to end. She called to ask about the situation.
She picked up the phone and sure enough, the person on the other end asked, "How was today's date? This is the first time Qin Yu has taken the initiative to ask a girl out for a meal. "If you are able to seize this opportunity, then our family will be able to bring glory to our ancestors …"
"Enough," she interrupted her sister in a bad mood and complained, "Qin Yu is considerate towards me, but his son is too difficult to please."
After pausing for a moment, he said, "Actually, you don't have to please that child. If you really marry Qin Yu at that time, you will have your own child sooner or later. Leaving one that isn't your own child will become a disaster sooner or later."
"What do you mean?" Chu Lan realized something and could not help but frown and ask.
The other side coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "I'm saying, if you think that child is an obstacle, you might as well let him go. You and Qin Yu will have your own child sooner or later anyways."
