Xue Wanwan was very noisy when he woke up, and he didn’t know who he inherited this trait from. As long as he opened his eyes, he would have to be held by someone. If not, he would make babbling protest sounds.
Zu Qi hugged Xue Wanwan for more than an hour but failed to coax him to sleep. His hands were so sore that he seemed not to have them.
After much thought, he simply put Xue Wanwan on the crib, then lay on the bed rail while reading the script and coaxing the little guy softly. Who knew that Xue Wanwan would not accept this at all and opened his mouth and started crying.
Zu Qi was helpless and hurriedly threw down the script and picked up Xue Wanwan. The little guy stopped crying immediately. He stared at Zu Qi with eyes like crystal grapes and smiled happily. He also stretched out his little index finger to poke Zu Qi’s cheek.
“Brat.” Zu Qi’s face was full of disgust, but his eyes were filled with tenderness. He stepped forward and kissed the little guy on the cheek.
“Hehehe…” Xue Wanwan was as happy as a little fool.
Zu Qi carried Xue Wanwan to bed and let the little guy lie next to him. Xue Wanwan finally calmed down and soon closed his eyes and fell asleep. His little hand was still holding Zu Qi’s index finger tightly.
Zu Qi picked up the remote control to raise the temperature in the room. He originally wanted to read the script for a while, but he threw the script on the coffee table after Xue Wanwan grabbed his finger and he couldn’t walk away. He had nothing to do but to read the dictionary on the bedside to him.
After Zu Qi’s protest, Xue Wanwan’s name had not been determined. Both Xue Jue and Weng Yuxiang gave Zu Qi the right to name him. Of course, the premise was that it must be meaningful and pleasant to the ears.
It seemed that the name “Wanwan” had left a big shadow in their hearts…
Zu Qi flipped through dozens of pages, but couldn’t find any good words, instead he felt sleepy after reading one word after another.
He yawned, put down the dictionary, rested his head on his arms, and fell asleep soon after.
After what seemed like a long time, Zu Qi vaguely heard the sound of slight footsteps.
He half-opened his eyes sleepily and saw Xue Jue taking off his suit jacket and throwing it on the sofa. Then he walked softly and carried the sleeping Xue Wanwan back to the crib.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Jue went to the bathroom to take a bath. When he came out, he had put on clean and comfortable pajamas.
Xue Jue turned off the light and slowly lay down next to Zu Qi.
In fact, Zu Qi was unwilling to sleep in the same bed as Xue Jue from the bottom of his heart. Coupled with the embarrassing incident that happened this morning, he became even more repelled by the thought of sharing the same bed.
However, he was so sleepy that he didn’t even have the strength to move his fingers. After some words rolled around in his mouth, he silently swallowed them back.
Forget it.
Let’s just sleep.
Having learned from the past, Zu Qi was extra careful that night. Even when he fell asleep, he subconsciously hinted to himself – be sure to pay attention to your sleeping position! Never get close to Xue Jue!
Unfortunately, reality still backfired.
The next morning, Zu Qi opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Xue Jue’s chin with some green stubble. His eyes slowly moved downwards, and he saw his smooth neck, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly with his breathing. There was actually a hint of indescribable sex appeal.
Zu Qi was stiff for a long time, and then found in despair that he accidentally rolled into Xue Jue’s arms while sleeping.
“…”
He had to admit that Xue Jue’s arms were very warm, like a big heater. No wonder he always squeezed into Xue Jue’s arms unconsciously in his sleep.
Zu Qi felt that he should put some distance between the two of them before Xue Jue woke up, so he carefully stepped back a few minutes and looked up. Suddenly, his entire line of sight was occupied by Xue Jue’s straight nose and strong chin.
Even from the perspective of his death, Xue Jue was still extremely handsome.
It would have been perfect if his eyes had not been opened…
Xue Jue’s eyes were dark and his eyelids were slightly drooped. When he stared at Zu Qi without saying a word, Zu Qi always felt like he was being seen through. So his appreciation was also mixed with a little guilt.
Maybe he should pretend to say hello as if nothing had happened, and then shamelessly get up from Xue Jue’s body, Zu Qi thought with great embarrassment.
He thought this plan was feasible, but before he could implement it, he unexpectedly saw Xue Jue closing his eyes silently, pretending to be asleep, as if he had never woken up just now.
Zu Qi: “…”
His acting skills are too poor!
Besides, he was not blind.
Although he complained about it in his heart, Zu Qi was still very grateful that Xue Jue was willing to step down for him.
So he hurriedly rolled out of Xue Jue’s arms, covered himself in the quilt on the other side, and began to pretend to be an ostrich without moving.
Not long after, Xue Jue got out of bed, washed and dressed, then picked up Xue Wanwan, who was still sleeping, and walked out of the bedroom.
It was rare that Xue Jue didn’t leave for work early that day, and even had breakfast with Zu Qi and Weng Yuxiang.
Weng Yuxiang calmly told Xue Jue what happened yesterday. Xue Jue didn’t react much after hearing this and told Weng Yuxiang to directly contact the lawyer he had arranged earlier if he had anything to do.
“Okay.” Weng Yuxiang nodded, quickly remembered something, and said with worry, “He seems to have really gone to find your uncle.”
Xue Jue smiled reassuringly: “Don’t worry, I have already beaten second uncle. If you say hello, at least we won’t be unprepared.”
Weng Yuxiang hesitated, and finally said nothing.
Zu Qi couldn’t understand the riddle-like conversation between Xue Jue and Weng Yuxiang at all, so he simply didn’t join them and sat by himself while eating and pondering the script.
Time soon reached noon. After lunch, Zu Qi handed the coaxed Xue Wanwan to Weng Yuxiang and said that he was going out for an audition and would not be back until very late.
Weng Yuxiang had known about Zu Qi’s audition for a long time and was not surprised at this time. She only told Zu Qi to pay attention to safety on the way back and forth, and asked Zu Qi to take Xiaoya with him.
Zu Qi quickly declined.
Before departure, Zu Qi called Heng Jingchen.
As the intermediary, Heng Jingchen could not show up, but he was worried that Zu Qi would not pass the test, so he decided to personally send Zu Qi to the scene and say hello to the director.
Although the original owner was described by the author as a bad character, he was lucky to have a friend like Heng Jingchen.
In the morning, Heng Jingchen was filming in the high-end community next to Xue’s house. After receiving a call from Zu Qi, Heng Jingchen told the director and asked the driver to drive together to pick up Zu Qi.
Zu Qi was waiting on the roadside outside the villa area. He picked up his mobile phone and looked through his address book, then stopped on Zhou Yan’s name.
After thinking for a moment, he dialed Zhou Yan’s phone number.
In the more than three months since he came to this world, this was the first time that Zu Qi took the initiative to contact his agent.
