C323 Will mommy die

That night, after Qin Xu helped Ye Zixing wash up, he put his under a soft blanket.

But after putting him under the bed, when Qin Xu saw Ye Zixing's wide open eyes, he who was always decisive suddenly felt at a loss.

He didn't have the experience of taking care of his child before this, so before he took Ye Zixing home, he casually read a few books on parenting that he wanted to close.

He stood beside Ye Zixing's bed for a while, recalling the contents of the book once more. Then, he probed Ye Zixing, "Do you need me to tell you a bedtime story?"

The parenting book says that when coaxing a child to sleep, it is very useful to tell a fairy tale or to hum a melodious song.

Qin Xu was afraid that it would be difficult for him to sing a lullaby, but he could still tell a fairy tale.

But just as he was beginning to choose a fairy tale to tell in his mind, Ye Zixing, who was on the bed, shook his head and used a soft and gentle voice to ruthlessly decide: "No need, I won't listen to the fairy tale at night, I'll be able to sleep very quickly."

As if confirming his words, the moment Ye Zixing finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and yawned.

Qin Xu no longer had the need to stay any longer.

He bent over and kissed Ye Zixing on the forehead: "Then I'll leave first, I'll leave you a night light, I'll use it when it's night. "Also, I live next door to you. If you need anything, you can come to my room and look for me."

Ye Zixing nodded obediently, he already had his pajamas in his eyes.

Qin Xu couldn't help but smile, and then walk to the door and turn off the light in the room for Ye Zixing.

But Qin Xu didn't immediately leave. He stood outside Ye Zixing's half-opened room, borrowing the dim yellow night light to make sure that Ye Zixing had fallen asleep, and then left with light footsteps.

Instead of going to his room next door, he went to his study.

In the past half a month, Qin Xu had initially been busy with saving Ye Zixing from the kidnapping, and then spent a week recuperating from his gunshot wounds in the hospital.

Although he was going back to work at Qin’s tomorrow, there were still big matters waiting for him. He couldn't finish them immediately, so he might as well work another shift earlier tonight.

Qin Xu was a real workaholic, once he threw himself into work, he would become completely engrossed, so when the company documents were processed to a paragraph, he suddenly realised that it was already past midnight.

Qin Xu pressed his forehead, which was starting to feel dizzy, and then decided to return to his own room to rest.

However, just as he reached the bedroom door, he heard a muffled sob.

Qin Xu's dazed head reacted for a while before he realized that it was the Ye Zixing next door who was crying. He instantly became alert and completely regained consciousness.

He hastily pushed open the door to the room next door and discovered that the night light he had intentionally left in the room had been extinguished at an unknown time. He immediately switched on the overhead light in the room.

With a soft click, the room was lit up, and on the huge bed in the middle of the room, Ye Zixing was already crying until he was about to cry.

Qin Xu's heart instantly ached.

One must know that Ye Zixing had never shed a single tear when facing the kidnapper, and his eyes were even swollen from crying. It could be seen that he was truly upset and wronged.

He rushed forward quickly and hugged Ye Zixing. As if he was afraid that he would scare Ye Zixing, he deliberately lowered his tone so that it was extremely light. He asked: "What's wrong? It's Dad … Did your uncle do something wrong and let you suffer? Or did you have a nightmare? "

Ye Zixing sobbed twice in Qin Xu's embrace, then answered vaguely: "It was a nightmare."

"What did you dream of?" Qin Xu asked again.

Ye Zixing did not reply this time, but Qin Xu could clearly feel the person in his embrace shiver in fear after hearing his question.

I'm afraid I dreamt of something terrible and terrible.

Qin Xu anxiously said: "It's alright, you don't have to say it if you don't want to, but remember, the things in your dreams are all fake, no matter what you dream about, they cannot hurt you."

"Yes." Ye Zixing gave a light grunt, then started sobbing again.

Qin Xu's heart also clenched in pain.

Qin Xu didn't have any experience comforting the child, but with his subconscious reaction, he asked Ye Zixing: "Then, can I stay here tonight and sleep with you?"

Ever since Ye Zixing had hugged Ye Zixing, he had always secretly grabbed onto his clothes. When he heard that Qin Xu wanted to stay and accompany him, he even nodded his head anxiously.

Just like that, with Ye Zixing in his arms, Qin Xu and the child lay back on the bed.

He casually pressed on the night light on the bedside table, but the light did not have any reaction. It seemed that it had suddenly broken while Ye Zixing was sleeping. Ye Zixing woke up from his nightmare and realized that the inside of the house was completely dark. No matter how mature he was, he was still a child who had just passed his fifth birthday, so he was afraid to cry …

Thinking about the cause and effect of this matter, Qin Xu couldn't help but feel a wave of pain in his heart.

He affectionately kissed the top of Ye Zixing's hair and said softly: "We won't turn off the lights tonight, okay?"

"Yes." Ye Zixing slightly nodded in his arms, but he moved closer to Qin Xu, like a soft pudding with the fragrance of milk, almost melting Qin Xu's heart.

Qin Xu thought back to when he was young and how his mother took care of him.

Ye Zixing finally stopped crying and slowly closed his eyes.

Just when Qin Xu thought that the other party had fallen asleep again, Ye Zixing suddenly closed his eyes and asked: "Is my mother seriously ill?"

Qin Xu froze for a moment, guessing that it had something to do with Ye Zixing's nightmare. But of course, he couldn't tell the child about the cruel things, so he answered ambiguously: "It's not too serious. He'll recover soon enough and leave the hospital."

"Is she really not going to die?" Ye Zixing suddenly opened his eyes and asked stubbornly.

"Of course not." Qin Xu answered without thinking. After he finished speaking, he added to himself, "I won't let her die."

Ye Zixing felt a natural sense of intimacy and trust towards Qin Xu. He had heard the answer he liked from Qin Xu, so he was finally at ease. After that, he closed his eyes once again.

This time, he finally fell asleep on Qin Xu's arm.

When Ye Zixing woke up, it was just the time for breakfast the next morning.

After Ye Zixing finished washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he sat down on the dining table and started eating. Seeing that he looked to be in good spirits, as if he couldn't remember the nightmare he had last night, Qin Xu calmed down a little.

After breakfast, Qin Xu would go to the Qin’s headquarters to work. Before he left, he said to Zi Xing: "Uncle is going to work, you stay at home, let the Nanny Hua take care of you first, okay?"

Ye Zixing looked at Nanny Hua and then looked at Qin Xu, he did not say a word.

He did not say it, but he did not say it wrong either. Even his face was expressionless, but Qin Xu could tell that he did not like it.

Although he didn't like it, he probably knew that he shouldn't hold up his work, which was why he was so depressed …

Thinking about it, Qin Xu's heart suddenly softened. He then said to Ye Zixing: "Or do you want to come with me to visit my company?"

This time, Ye Zixing finally smiled and nodded towards Qin Xu.

Thus, at the Qin’s Group Headquarters that day, when many employees saw their own indifferent CEO gently carrying a cute little boy into their office, their mouths gaped open in shock.

Was this the son of their CEO? But when did the CEO get married? Who was the mother of the child?

All of the female employees in the company were secretly hurt, but there were a few who did not give up and rushed to the top floor with hope, wanting to find out if that child was just Qin Xu's relative.

However, when the female staff member arrived at the secretariat, she happened to hear the CEO at home give the order to the secretariat, "Go and buy some toys that children love to play with. Buy all kinds of toys and bring them back so that he can choose which one he likes."

Seeing the gentle expression on Qin Xu's face as he spoke, it could be said that that was not his son … No wonder!

As a result, the female employee quickly returned to her department with sorrow in her heart. She began to turn sadness into strength and wholeheartedly threw herself into her work …

At the same time, in the CEO's office, Qin Xu was sitting on the sofa, handling the accumulated documents. There was a bunch of toys in front of him, and after playing with them one by one, he finally chose a puzzle, laid on the sofa alone, and started to play in a quiet and serious manner.

Qin Xu would occasionally raise his head and glance at him while he worked, and when he saw that he seemed to be troubled by the two pieces of the jigsaw, he simply picked him up and carried him onto his lap, father and son completing the rest of the jigsaw puzzle together.

This was also the first time Qin Xu experienced the suffering of working hard. He wanted to get off work early.

He rubbed Ye Zixing's hair, he wanted to ask if Ye Zixing would find it boring in the office, but the phone beside him rang first and interrupted what Qin Xu was about to say.

Qin Xu glanced at the number on the caller ID, frowned and hung up.

But not long after he hung up, the number was called again.

"Uncle, you answer the phone first, I can play by myself." Ye Zixing was very sensible and automatically slid down from Qin Xu's leg. He carefully placed the jigsaw puzzle that the two had put together onto the sofa.

Qin Xu's movements paused for a moment, but in the end, he still picked up the phone with displeasure.

This number was Chu Xiaoxiao's.

The moment the call connected, Qin Xu intentionally lowered his voice and asked Chu Xiaoxiao: "Didn't you already get released from the police station? What else is there? "

His tone was filled with impatience, the voice of Chu Xiaoxiao who was on the other side of the phone scoffed, "Of course I'm looking for you for something, it's about our next marriage."
