The next day.
When Zu Qi opened his eyes, Xue Jue beside him was no longer there, and even Xue Wanwan, who slept between them last night, was nowhere to be seen.
After washing up and getting dressed, Zu Qi went downstairs to the dining room to have breakfast. He saw Weng Yuxiang holding Xue Wanwan, who was babbling, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the snow scene outside.
Hearing the footsteps, Weng Yuxiang turned around and said with a smile: “Xiao Qi, good morning.”
“Good morning.” Zu Qi sat down at the dining table, “Where is Xue Jue?”
Weng Yuxiang said, “Xiao Jue has gone to the company.”
“Oh…” Zu Qi lowered his eyes and forced out a smile to cover up the disappointment in his eyes.
He suddenly thought of the vague conversation between him and Xue Jue last night, and suddenly felt a headache. In fact, he didn’t remember the content of that conversation clearly. He only knew that he didn’t seem to answer very well.
After breakfast, he was bored. So, Zu Qi held Xue Wanwan and walked back and forth in the living room.
Now Xue Wanwan was two and a half months old and weighed more than ten kilograms. It was not very heavy but definitely not light either. Zu Qi felt his hands turn sore after holding him for less than half an hour and he was so tired that he could not breathe.
However, the brat Xue Wanwan was very happy. He kept waving his two chubby hands, making babbling sounds, and staring at Zu Qi with round and bright eyes like crystal grapes.
It had to be said that Xue Wanwan’s eyes were very similar to Xue Jue’s. Being looked at by the little guy like this, Zu Qi actually had the illusion of being stared at by Xue Jue.
Weng Yuxiang, who was on the side, saw that Zu Qi was stunned and didn’t move. So, she quickly stepped forward to take Xue Wanwan and said helplessly: “If you can’t hold him anymore, just say it.”
Zu Qi handed Xue Wanwan to Weng Yuxiang, rubbed his sore arms, and said angrily: “We haven’t seen each other for only ten days, and this kid has grown into a little pig.”
“He weighs almost fifteen kilograms.” Weng Yuxiang said with a smile, “Cui Junzhuo told me many times that he wanted me to help Wanwan lose weight, but we couldn’t bear it.”
Zu Qi tugged on Xue Wanwan’s chubby hand and said with two tuts: “It’s indeed too heavy. The normal weight of a child over 2 months old is about ten pounds, right?”
Zu Qi found this information online. He also saw various photos of two- and three-month-old babies on the Internet, but he thought those babies were not as cute as the one in his family.
Although Xue Wanwan looked chubby, he was white and tender, with big and beautiful eyes that were bright and lively, but it was a bit troublesome when he cried…
Now Zu Qi completely refused to admit ever saying that his son was as ugly as a monkey.
Unfortunately, it turned out that Xue Wanwan did not like being praised.
As soon as Zu Qi finished thinking this, he saw Xue Wanwan’s mouth flatten, and then he wrinkled his face and started crying in Weng Yuxiang’s arms, while his two little hands desperately grabbed Zu Qi’s side.
Weng Yuxiang’s expression suddenly changed from joy to sadness. While returning Xue Wanwan to Zu Qi, she said sourly: “My grandson only recognizes his father again…”
“…” Zu Qi said with a sore expression. He took Xue Wanwan with both hands and showed an awkward yet polite smile.
The next second he returned to Zu Qi’s arms, the little guy’s crying stopped abruptly. There were still crystal clear tears on the little fat face, but he started to giggle with his mouth open.
Weng Yuxiang watched all this eagerly, and the sadness in her eyes almost solidified.
It wasn’t until the afternoon that Weng Yuxiang dared to take the little guy over while Xue Wanwan was sleeping. At this time, Heng Jingchen also came to the door.
Zu Qi took Heng Jingchen to Xue Jue’s study on the second floor. The two sat down on the sofa. Xiaoya came in with tea and pastries, put them on the coffee table, and then quietly left.
Heng Jingchen walked on the snowy path in the front yard for about twenty minutes. He was shivering from the cold. He took a big sip of hot tea in his hands and suddenly felt warm in his body.
“Your house is too big, so you might as well get a sightseeing car. If I had to go any further, I would have frozen into a popsicle.” Heng Jingchen complained in a murmur.
Zu Qi nodded in agreement: “I also think the area here is too big. It takes a long time to walk after a meal.”
Heng Jingchen: “…” Was this a disguised show off?
After chatting for a while, Heng Jingchen returned to the topic on hand seriously: “By the way, I planned to tell you last night, but I couldn’t find you. It is about what you asked me to find out last week. I inquired about it. A classmate of mine is engaged in farming in the suburbs. He planned to sell the land half a year ago. Unfortunately, it is such a large piece of land, surrounded by deserted areas and is not within the scope of urban construction planning. So far, he has not found a buyer, so you can check it out if you are interested.”
