That night, the two enjoyed a passionate night together. The next morning, Ying Qiao drove Jiang Lan to the airport.
Jiang Lan, dragging his suitcase, waved to Ying Qiao and his brothers, and walked into the boarding gate, carrying his heavy box of snacks.
After watching Jiang Lan leave, Ying Qiao waited until the plane bound for Yunnan Province took off on time before leaving the airport with the kids. He first took Jiang Chi to his tutoring class and then took Jiu Ding, Jiao Tu and Suan Ni to the company.
While Chen Hua was recovering from his injury, his other assistants were far less efficient than him, forcing him to handle many tasks personally. So he dealt with official business at his desk, while Jiu Ding played games with Jiao Tu and Suan Ni on the sofa.
After finishing his business, it was time to leave work. Ying Qiao took the bunch of kids and left the company, picked up Jiang Chi, and then went to a restaurant for dinner.
After dinner, it was still early, and thinking that his boyfriend wasn’t home, Ying Qiao wasn’t very motivated to go back. So after sending a message to Jiang Lan, he took the kids to the Monster Management Bureau to see Chen Hua and Geng Chen.
Chen Hua’s bones had now fully healed, but because his monster core needed to recover, he needed a longer period of rest, making him much weaker than an ordinary person. But he was now in better spirits and could walk around with the help of Bi’an.
When Ying Qiao took the little ones over, he saw Chen Hua arguing with Bi’an again.
Bi’an was carrying a folding wheelchair and was earnestly persuading, “Wouldn’t it be better if you sat in the wheelchair and I pushed you outside for a walk? Your bones have just healed and you’re still weak, so you can’t walk for too long.”
He just couldn’t understand why Chen Hua wouldn’t sit in the wheelchair, which was so convenient.
But Chen Hua looked resistant: “If you’re a man, you can’t say no. I’m just a little injured, not crippled. Why would I need a wheelchair?”
With people coming and going in the bureau in broad daylight, and countless eyes watching, how could he not have any dignity and get pushed around in a wheelchair by Bi’an?
This was absolutely not going to work.
“…” Upon hearing this, Bi’an didn’t even frown. Having taken care of Chen Hua for so many days, his patience had long been honed, so he calmly continued to persuade him.
It was impossible for him to lose his temper, since he still wanted to get married.
But Ying Qiao, who had just approached, overheard this and mocked, “What’s the difference between you now and someone with a disability?”
He scanned Chen Hua from head to toe, his face full of mockery for the weakling.
“…”
Chen Hua choked on his breath, glaring angrily at him, “You bast**d, why are you doing this again!”
He noticed that he drank one less bowl of soup at night nowadays.
Chen Hua, realizing he couldn’t outmaneuver Ying Qiao, wisely kept quiet and didn’t say anything.
But he didn’t speak, which made Bi’an unhappy. How did Ying Gou speak?
How can you not show the respect they deserve to your sister-in-law?
He scrutinized Ying Qiao with displeasure: “If your eyesight is bad, you should get it checked as soon as possible. Don’t delay, or it will get worse. Otherwise, when Lao Wu comes back, he’ll blame me for not taking good care of you.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Hua immediately chimed in, “Yes, yes, yes, if you’re going blind, you should get it treated as soon as possible.”
The two sang in unison, and Chen Hua straightened his back.
Ying Qiao stared at him for a long time, then scoffed, “Having someone backing you up makes all the difference.”
You’ve straightened your back and are no longer timid.
He deeply felt that choosing Bi’an as an ally might have been a mistake. Judging from the situation, wouldn’t Chen Hua eventually climb all over him?
The key was that he couldn’t hit him, otherwise it would definitely turn into a family feud.
Ying Qiao’s words were ambiguous, but Chen Hua was very astute and understood immediately. He quickly withdrew his hand from Bi’an and said, trying to cover up his misunderstanding, “I’m tired from walking today, so I’ll go back first.”
After saying that, he laboriously moved back by himself.
Seeing this, Bi’an stepped forward to support him, put his arm under his armpit so that he could lean half of his body on his shoulder, frowned and scolded lightly: “If you can’t walk, don’t show off. If you feel that there are too many people in the bureau and it is inconvenient to recuperate, I will talk to Tai Feng and borrow the doctor for a while. You can then stay at my place to recuperate.”
Although he didn’t own any property in Jiangcheng yet, he could buy one immediately if Chen Hua agreed!
Unfortunately, Chen Hua still shook his head and refused, but after a while, perhaps feeling that it was really inconvenient at the bureau, he hummed and said, “I have a villa under my name, I can go back to recuperate there.”
Upon hearing this, Bi’an immediately said, “Then let’s go to your house. Jiang Lan is away on a business trip, and I don’t want to spend all my time with Ying Gou. It’s a good opportunity to stay at your house for a while and take care of you.”
He was very skilled at using the technique of striking the snake with the stick.
After all, he had realized these past few days that reading countless books and learning countless skills was useless; shamelessness was the only right way to go.
After trying it a few times, Bi’an got a taste of success and decided to continue being shameless to the end.
“…”
Chen Hua hesitated for a moment but ultimately couldn’t refuse: “Okay.”
….
After helping Chen Hua to rest, Bi’an quickly came out again and saw Ying Qiao still waiting in the same place. He thought to himself that at least Ying Qiao had some sense of propriety.
He then stepped forward to inquire about Jiang Lan’s condition.
Although Jiang Lan reported his safe arrival in Yunnan Province at noon and shared his general itinerary in the group chat, couples would naturally discuss more details. That was why Bi’an specifically sought out Ying Qiao to inquire about the specifics.
Ying Qiao indeed knew more. He said, “After Jiang Lan settled in the hotel, he contacted the Yunnan Provincial Branch Bureau. This afternoon, he should go with the branch bureau’s people to investigate the possible locations where the ancient Wa people might appear.”
The appearance of the ancient Wa people, or rather this overlapping space, was completely without any clear signs. The only thing that could be used as a reference was the exceptionally fiery red sunset.
However, sunsets occurred frequently and covered a large area, making identification extremely difficult. Yesterday, the branch office visited several locations without success. Today, they had narrowed it down to a few more locations, and Jiang Lan would accompany them.
Ying Qiao sent a message to Jiang Lan to inquire about the situation before coming to the bureau but had not yet received a reply.
After hearing that Jiang Lan had not yet replied, Bi’an lost interest: “Let me know if there is any new information. Chen Hua may go home to recuperate in a few days, and I will go with him.”
After saying that, he waved dismissively at Ying Qiao, then patted each of his younger brothers on the head, stuffed them with pocket money, and turned to go back to the lounge.
Ying Qiao then took the children upstairs to see Geng Chen.
Compared to before, Geng Chen seemed a bit depressed today.
He sat alone in the corner, seemingly withdrawn.
Jiu Ding went up to him, poked him, and tried to talk to him, but found that he ignored him completely. So he turned to Ying Qiao with some concern and said, “He’s not talking to me.”
Ying Qiao frowned and stared at him for a while, then looked at the large mirror that covered the entire wall, and asked the staff member, “What’s wrong with him?”
Did he really realize he was ugly, and that’s why he felt inferior?
The staff were also a little confused and were about to report the situation to Ying Qiao.
“He doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today; he won’t even drink the monster milk.”
As was customary, every morning after the fresh monster milk was delivered, the staff would pour it into the bronze cauldron, which would then gulp it down quickly.
But when he went to pour in the monster milk today, he found that the bronze cauldron started rolling around everywhere, as if it was trying to hide. Later, he moved the monster milk away and found that the bronze cauldron indeed stopped rolling around. However, for the rest of the day, it silently squatted in the corner without moving.
It’s just a cauldron, but it looks so melancholy.
“He won’t even drink milk anymore?” Jiu Ding was immediately shocked and became even more worried that something might have happened to his mentally challenged father.
His face was almost pressed against the cauldron, and he was muttering to himself as he spoke to Geng Chen.
Ying Qiao, however, stared at the motionless bronze cauldron for a long time before suddenly raising an eyebrow and asking, “Geng Chen?”
The bronze cauldron remained motionless, as if it were a fake: …
“You haven’t remembered anything, have you?” Ying Qiao squinted at him.
“…”
The bronze cauldron remained motionless.
Ying Qiao smirked and said to the staff, “Where’s today’s milk? Bring it over, I’ll feed him myself.”
He stared intently at the motionless bronze cauldron and continued, “By the way, take a video and tell Ji Xian that her man is making a fuss about not seeing her and thus won’t drink his milk properly, so she should come and coax him herself.”
Bronze cauldron: …
Geng Chen finally couldn’t hold back any longer and burst out cursing: “Ying Qiao, you little brat, how come you haven’t learned a single good thing after all these years?!”
You’re still as inhuman as ever!
Annoying!
