Xiaoya took into account that Xue Jue and Zu Qi were a young couple newly married, so she planned to place Xue Wanwan in Weng Yuxiang’s bedroom. Now that Weng Yuxiang lived alone in the master bedroom, it was convenient for her to take care of Xue Wanwan when he woke up and slept.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xue Wanwan was placed in the crib, the little ancestor suddenly opened his eyes.
The little guy’s dark eyes turned, and when he didn’t see the face he usually relied on, he opened his mouth and started crying.
Weng Yuxiang’s face was so distressed as she hurriedly picked up Xue Wanwan and coaxed him: “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Grandma will take you to find your father right now.”
Xiaoya sighed: “The young master is too young. He is always clinging to Mr. and Mrs., what should we do if this continues? Mr. and Mrs. cannot look at the young master at home every day.”
Hearing this, Weng Yuxiang felt a sense of sourness in her heart, and she sighed helplessly and said: “It will be much better when Wanwan gets older and recognizes other people.”
So the two of them took Xue Wanwan to find Xue Jue and Zu Qi. When they opened the door, they bumped into Zu Qi wandering in the corridor.
“Xiao Qi, you came just in time.” Weng Yuxiang’s eyes lit up, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving piece of driftwood, and she hurriedly handed the crying Xue Wanwan into Zu Qi’s hands, “Wanwan has been crying since he woke up. I guess he will sleep with you tonight.”
Zu Qi was not very good at holding the baby, and his posture was a bit awkward. He subconsciously asked: “Is he hungry?”
“I just fed the baby half an hour ago, and I also changed its diaper.” Xiaoya next to her replied.
Zu Qi wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, Xue Wanwan in his arms suddenly stopped crying, and his big black jewel-like eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist.
The little guy stared at Zu Qi blankly for a long time, then made a babbling sound and tried hard to stretch out his hands to scratch Zu Qi’s face.
When Xiaoya saw this, she held her chin with one hand and said with a mixture of humor and distress: “If you and your husband are not at home from now on, the old lady and I will not be able to do anything with the young master.”
Zu Qi looked down at Xue Wanwan, who was smiling at him in his arms, and his originally depressed mood suddenly became brighter.
The little guy was too small, and his body exuded a faint smell of milk. At least his face had opened up, unlike when he was born, when it was wrinkled and red, like a monkey.
This was the boy he gave birth to.
Although he was still a little ugly so far, he was still a relative in this world who was connected to him by blood.
At this moment, Zu Qi felt so soft inside. When he thought that he would join the crew for filming soon, he felt a strong feeling of reluctance in his heart.
Weng Yuxiang didn’t know what Zu Qi was thinking. Seeing Zu Qi wandering outside at night, she thought he was hungry and thus couldn’t sleep, so she asked Xiaoya to make some midnight snacks and send them to Zu Qi’s bedroom.
Zu Qi quickly shook his head and declined Weng Yuxiang’s kindness. He paused and then said hesitantly: “I heard from Butler Zhang that you have already drawn up the banquet list for Xue Jue and I’s wedding?”
“Yes.”
Weng Yuxiang nodded. “I did a preliminary screening, but both you and Xiao Jue said you didn’t want the event to be too high-profile, so I only selected friends and relatives who we socialize with frequently and important partners from Xiao Jue’s work.”
Zu Qi said, “Can I see the list?”
“Of course.” Weng Yuxiang asked Zu Qi to go into the bedroom and wait. She flipped through the drawers for a while and quickly took out a booklet handwritten by Butler Zhang.
Since it was inconvenient for Zu Qi to hold Xue Wanwan and the booklet together, Weng Yuxiang sat next to him and flipped through the big red booklet for Zu Qi to read.
“Also, the friends you want to invite are not included in the number. When you think about who you want to invite, tell Butler Zhang directly and he will add it.” Weng Yuxiang said while turning the page.
Not long after, Zu Qi suddenly saw a familiar name.
“Wait a minute!”
Weng Yuxiang suddenly paused in the middle of the movement. She turned the book back to the previous page and asked doubtfully: “What’s wrong?”
“Zu Minghui and Chen Yuzhen, please cross out these two names.” Zu Qi said calmly.
He rummaged through the original owner’s cell phone and finally found the names of the original owner’s parents. He had found the real situation from the quarrelsome text messages between the original owner and his parents.
But now, all the contact information of the original owner’s parents and relatives had been deleted by him.
Zu Qi carefully read the content of the text message and found that the original owner’s parents were not much different from what he had imagined. They were both hypocritical and greedy blood-sucking people.
They never cared about how the original owner was doing in the entertainment industry. They only called to ask for money. Even if the original owner was in poverty a year ago when he was hidden by the brokerage company, they would not lend a helping hand and even forced the original owner to continue to make monthly payments for their living expenses.
In the past, Zu Qi would have been very shocked, never expecting that there were such selfish parents in the world.
However, now, after experiencing all kinds of weirdos such as Xue Yanjing, Shi Hao and Tang Moning, Zu Qi had long been accustomed to it. If the parents of the original owner were normal people with straight views, they would not be written as cannon fodder by the author.
After listening to Zu Qi’s words, Weng Yuxiang had a fleeting look of doubt on her face, but she didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she picked up a pen and directly crossed out the names of Zu Minghui and Chen Yuzhen, and also crossed out the names of Zu Zhou next to them.
Feeling Zu Qi’s gaze, Weng Yuxiang smiled gently: “Since your parents aren’t coming, it would be awkward for your brother to come alone.”
Zu Qi: “…”
It seemed that even if he didn’t say anything, Weng Yuxiang would understand him well.
Zu Qi pursed his lips, the embarrassment on his face gradually faded, and he cast a grateful look at Weng Yuxiang.
Weng Yuxiang smiled and patted his shoulder: “I asked Butler Zhang to move the crib to your bedroom. I’m afraid you will have to work harder these days.”
When Zu Qi hugged Xue Wanwan, who was already sleeping, and returned to the bedroom, Butler Zhang and others had already moved the crib next to the big bed.
Weng Yuxiang personally went to the mall to select this crib. It was light pink overall, with an off-white gauze hanging above it, and all kinds of small toys hanging in the corners. It looked incompatible with this gray and black bedroom.
Zu Qi carefully put Xue Wanwan in the crib. While the little guy liked to eat his fingers, he accidentally saw him sucking his index finger hard.
Zu Qi chuckled, finding it interesting. He lay down beside the crib and quietly took away the index finger that Xue Wanwan was holding in his mouth.
He saw Xue Wanwan frowning, which looked a bit like Xue Jue when he was angry, then he pouted and started looking for his fingers, lazily not even opening his eyes during the whole process.
After finally finding his finger, Xue Wanwan opened his mouth and took his little finger in his mouth, sucking it with relish. His expression looked like he was eating delicacies from all over the world.
“What a delicious little devil.” Zu Qi smiled and tapped Xue Wanwan’s nose, and with a flick of his fingertips, he took the little guy’s fingers out of his mouth.
Xue Wanwan closed his eyes and took a few breaths of air. It seemed that he realized someone had taken away his “food”, so he pursed his lips.
Zu Qi’s face turned pale – terrible.
He was going to cry.
Just as he finished thinking this, an earth-shattering cry sounded in his ears.
Zu Qi quickly picked up Xue Wanwan and coaxed him for a long time, but he didn’t expect that this boy didn’t give him any face and seemed to insist on deafening Zu Qi’s ears.
Zu Qi regretted it greatly. He should have known better than to anger this little human trumpet just for fun.
Just when Zu Qi was holding Xue Wanwan and was at a loss, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Xue Jue, who had heard the sound, walked in from the outside. He had been busy in the study for more than two hours, and had exhaustion written on his face.
“What’s wrong?” Xue Jue frowned and walked quickly to Zu Qi’s side.
Zu Qi said awkwardly: “He is crying.”
Xue Jue looked at Zu Qi’s guilty face calmly, and immediately guessed something. When he was still in the hospital, Zu Qi often made trouble while teasing the child, causing him to cry.
“I’ll coax him, you take a rest.” Xue Jue took Xue Wanwan from Zu Qi’s arms. Seeing the little guy crying with his face red and his voice hoarse, Xue Jue felt a little distressed and helpless.
Usually after Zu Qi made Xue Wanwan cry, the little guy would calm down as long as Xue Jue patiently coaxed him a little.
But this time he didn’t know what happened, even though Xue Jue gently patted Xue Wanwan’s back and coaxed him for nearly half an hour, the boy seemed to have no intention of stopping and instead cried harder and harder.
Zu Qi knew he was in the wrong, so he sat on the sofa dejectedly, staring at his feet in plush slippers and feeling at a loss.
Xue Jue turned around and saw Zu Qi, looking like a primary school student who had made a mistake, with his head lowered in grievance, his hands on his knees, and his sitting posture very upright.
Xue Jue wanted to laugh inexplicably, but he held it back and didn’t laugh out loud.
“You should take a shower and go to bed first. I’ll take Wanwan out for a walk.” Xue Jue didn’t want Zu Qi to blame himself too much. Maybe Zu Qi would feel better after not hearing the child’s cry.
When Zu Qi heard this, he immediately raised his head, stood up and said, “You guys stay in the bedroom, I’ll go out.”
“It’s okay, it’s normal for children to cry. Don’t put any more psychological burden on yourself.” Xue Jue left the bedroom as he said that.
Zu Qi sat on the sofa bored for a few minutes. He really had nothing to do, so he simply took a shower and went to bed. He thought he would lose sleep because of making Xue Wanwan cry, but the fact was that he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
In the middle of the night, Zu Qi heard some slight noises. Half asleep and half awake, he saw Xue Jue getting on the bed lightly, and then lying down next to him.
