Since Zu Qi decided to move the apples in the space to sell them in reality, he began to pay attention to the land sales in various places.

Since the original owner didn’t know many people, and there were even fewer reliable people among them, Zu Qi only asked Heng Jingchen to help him keep an eye on it, and other times he went online to look for sellers himself.

Zu Qi thought that this matter would have to be postponed until next year, but he did not expect that Heng Jingchen’s work efficiency was so high. In just one week, he had already found a potentially suitable seller.

Zu Qi was surprised and happy for a while and said thank you several times in a row.

Heng Jingchen waved his hand indifferently: “Hey, it’s just a little effort, your reaction is too much, and whether this deal can be successful or not is another matter, please take some time to go and see it with me first.”

Zu Qi originally asked Heng Jingchen to give him the contact information of that classmate, so that he could go and see it by himself without having to trouble Heng Jingchen to make a trip.

However, Heng Jingchen was too enthusiastic and insisted on going with Zu Qi no matter what. He also said that his classmate had a very weird temper. It would be bad if Zu Qi didn’t notice something and accidentally angered that person.

After hearing what Heng Jingchen said, Zu Qi thought it made sense, so he agreed.

In order to express his gratitude, Zu Qi invited Heng Jingchen out for dinner, and Heng Jingchen readily agreed.

When the two of them went downstairs, they happened to meet Weng Yuxiang who was hurriedly walking up with Xue Wanwan in his arms.

Looking up and seeing Zu Qi’s figure, Weng Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put Xue Wanwan into Zu Qi’s arms as if she had met a savior.

“My little ancestor woke up and cried when he didn’t see you. I really can’t do anything with him.” Weng Yuxiang sighed.

Zu Qi took Xue Wanwan and held him in his arms for a while to comfort him. The little guy who was crying with tears and runny nose just now quickly stopped crying with hiccups and waved his little hand while babbling at Zu Qi.

The keen Zu Qi immediately noticed what his boy was going to do, and quickly leaned his head back, trying not to let his nose fall into Xue Wanwan’s clutches.

Heng Jingchen was watching from the side and suddenly sighed: “Your son is so clingy to you…”

Weng Yuxiang said with envy and jealousy: “Isn’t it true? As a grandma, I have to lean behind the two fathers.”

Zu Qi: “…”

He had to say that taking care of children was really troublesome. Not to mention that he liked to make noises, Xue Wanwan also loved to drool. As long as Zu Qi was at home, he would always have tissues ready to wipe the little guy’s mouth and face, and also to prevent this kid from grabbing his hand and chewing it like a pig’s trotter.

With the help of Weng Yuxiang, Zu Qi finally wiped the saliva and tears off Xue Wanwan’s face.

“Are you going out?” Weng Yuxiang then realized that Zu Qi was fully dressed and was obviously going out with Heng Jingchen.

Zu Qi nodded in agreement. He could have invited Heng Jingchen to have dinner at Xue’s house, but because Weng Yuxiang was nearby and he didn’t want Weng Yuxiang to know about his plan to buy land, he booked a restaurant outside.

Heng Jingchen didn’t know what Zu Qi was thinking about, so he invited her warmly: “Auntie, why don’t we go together.”

Weng Yuxiang seemed to see that Zu Qi and Heng Jingchen wanted to talk about business, so she quickly waved her hand and refused: “Thank you, I won’t go.”

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment and then said to Zu Qi, “If it’s convenient for you, take Wanwan with you. If you and Xiao Jue are not at home I won’t be able to coax him if he makes a fuss.”

“Okay.” Zu Qi responded, looking down at Xue Wanwan, the little guy had opened his mouth and was shouting at him happily.

Zu Qi pursed his lips and chuckled then couldn’t help but reach out and tap the little guy’s nose lightly.

Unexpectedly, Xue Wanwan seized the opportunity and grabbed his finger, then put it into his mouth and started sucking on it, squinting his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.

The child who was more than two months old did not yet have teeth. Two rows of smooth gums sandwiched Zu Qi’s fingertips and rubbed them together. It felt a little comfortable, but the sticky saliva made him uncomfortable.

“The drool king.” Zu Qi angrily gave Xue Wanwan a new nickname.

As a result, the drool king in his arms seemed to like this name very much. He hugged Zu Qi’s finger full of transparent liquid and smiled from ear to ear.

Zu Qi had no experience in taking Xue Wanwan out alone before, but fortunately this time with Heng Jingchen at his side, Weng Yuxiang could feel relieved a little.

Before leaving, Weng Yuxiang prepared a lot of things for Zu Qi, including milk powder, bottles, diapers, wet wipes, saliva masks, etc., as well as a very luxurious-looking stroller.

However, this stroller, which was obviously very expensive, was of no use at all. As soon as Zu Qi went to put Xue Wanwan into the stroller, the boy started crying desperately, begging Zu Qi to hold him.

Zu Qi had no choice but to hug Xue Wanwan all the way, while the popular idol Heng Jingchen was pushing the stroller pitifully outside.

Fortunately, the restaurant he booked was not far from the Xue family. It only took less than 20 minutes by car. The driver of the Xue family sent Zu Qi and Heng Jingchen outside the restaurant.

After walking into the box and sitting down, Zu Qi finally felt much more relaxed.

Heng Jingchen, who had been single for many years, felt exhausted just watching Zu Qi take care of the baby. He pushed the stroller to the wall and sat down in front of Zu Qi, observing Xue Wanwan’s appearance carefully, he tutted: “He and Mr. Xue look alike, at first glance they are biological father and son.”

Zu Qi chuckled and said: “How can you tell?”

“Look at your son’s eyes.” Heng Jingchen said, “Especially the look in his eyes when he is unhappy is exactly the same as Mr. Xue’s.”

And just as scary, Heng Jingchen added silently in his heart, not daring to tell the truth.

“Really?” Zu Qi touched Xue Wanwan’s eyes. The little guy thought his father was playing tricks on him, so he immediately narrowed his eyes with a smile and raised his little paws, trying to scratch Zu Qi’s hand.

Zu Qi didn’t want to have his hand licked with saliva again, so he took his hand back with a swish.

Xue Wanwan, whose little claws became empty, was obviously stunned. He stared at Zu Qi with confused grape eyes for a while, and suddenly cried out.

Zu Qi: “…”

He didn’t know if his eyes looked like Xue Jue’s. But anyway, this brat’s stingy personality was quite similar to Xue Jue’s.

Like father, like son, they were all stingy guys who couldn’t stand being teased!

Zu Qi complained in his heart for a while, but still felt distressed. He hugged Xue Wanwan and coaxed him for a long time. He then wiped his fingers clean at the expense of himself and gave them to the little guy to chew on as pig’s trotters. Xue Wanwan calmed down after making trouble for a long time.

Heng Jingchen, who watched the whole process, looked afraid of marriage and childbirth.

After finally finishing the trouble, Xue Wanwan slowly fell asleep in Zu Qi’s arms with his fingers in his mouth. Zu Qi let out a tired sigh, and then he and Heng Jingchen ordered the food and discussed the matter of looking at the place.

Heng Jingchen went back to his hometown for some business two days ago, and his work had come to an end temporarily, so he would be very free during this time and could completely accommodate Zu Qi’s work schedule.

But he couldn’t wait too long. Although Heng Jingchen had greeted his classmate in advance, it was impossible for him to turn away the buyers who came to him just for their sake.

Zu Qi thought for a long time, called Duan Kai to inquire about it, and decided to go to the suburbs with Heng Jingchen tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow was the day for Zu Qi to return to the crew, but filming would not start until the day after tomorrow. Even if he returned to the crew tomorrow night, it would not be too late.

So the two agreed on a time and place to meet tomorrow morning, and after a pleasant dinner, they prepared to go home.
