Capítulo 1975: Chapter 1974: I’m a Man
Wen Ran smiled and patted his head, “Of course it’s true, so from now on, you have to take good care of Sister Qingqing. Can you do that?”
Ziyi nodded earnestly, “I’ll definitely take good care of Sister Qingqing.”
After he said that, he pursed his lips, looked up, and earnestly at Wen Ran, seriously saying, “Mom, can you stop patting my head from now on?”
Wen Ran raised an eyebrow, her voice slightly playful, “Why?”
“Because I’m a man, you know, and I’ve never seen you pat Dad’s head. When Sister Qingqing is here, if you pat my head, I’ll be laughed at.”
Ziyi’s serious deanor amused An Lin beside him into laughter.
Qiao Xiuyun also laughed uncontrollably, “Ziyi is just too cute.”
“Brother, sleepy.”
Qingqing’s soft, sweet voice chid in Ziyi’s ear, her eyes blinking expectantly at him.
“Okay.”
Ziyi, who was seriously speaking with Wen Ran, imdiately turned his head at Qingqing’s words, and the seriousness in his eyes was replaced by a touch of tenderness.
Qingqing blinked her eyes and grinned widely, smiling at Ziyi.

As it turned out, Ziyi was not the clueless little kid his dad often said he was; he was able to comfort Qingqing to sleep on his own.
He even told Qingqing bedti stories.
When An Lin and Qin Mu left and went upstairs to check on Qingqing, Ziyi was actually coming out of her room.
“Ziyi, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Wen Ran glanced over Ziyi’s pajamas, and Ziyi scratched his head, “Mom, I was asleep, but I just woke up. I was worried that Sister Qingqing might kick off her quilt, so I ca to check on her.”
An Lin glanced into the room, and sure enough, Qingqing’s little body was nestled peacefully on the soft big bed, with the quilt tucked in neatly, only her two little hands placed outside the quilt.
Seeing An Lin’s glance at the bed, Ziyi explained, “Sister Qingqing uses her hands to push the quilt off, so I put her hands outside the quilt. This way, she doesn’t feel hot, so she won’t kick or push the quilt off.”
As Wen Ran listened to Ziyi’s explanation, a gentle smile ford on her face, and she instinctively patted Ziyi’s head, “Hurry back to your room and sleep.”
“Ranran, I’m really relieved now. With Qingqing sleeping so soundly, she definitely won’t co looking for us.” Saying this, she turned to Qin Mu standing behind her, “Ah Mu, let’s go ho.”
Qin Mu smiled warmly, “Okay.”
The two of them exited the Mo family ho, got into the car, and Qin Mu leaned over to fasten An Lin’s seatbelt, “Tomorrow we’ll finally be able to go on vacation.”
“We’re not going back to A City tomorrow?”
Although Qin Mu had ntioned taking her on vacation, An Lin didn’t really believe it.
After all, it’s the Spring Festival; they usually lived in G City, while both parents were in A City. They should go back to accompany their elders during the festival.
Qin Mu finished fastening her seatbelt and fondly patted her head, “We’ve sent Qingqing to Xiu Chen’s house, and if we go back, our parents will definitely lecture us. So I signed them up for a tour group, so they can go on a trip together.”
“…”
An Lin was surprised as she looked at Qin Mu, wondering how she hadn’t known about this.
Qin Mu’s lips curved in gentle amusent, “I didn’t have ti to tell you. I’ve booked our tickets too. Tomorrow we go on vacation.”
“We’re leaving tomorrow? What ti is the flight, and what if Qingqing wakes up looking for us?”
“She won’t, with Ziyi there to play with her. Rest assured, whether it’s Xiu Chen or Ranran, Qingqing is not unfamiliar with them.”
In the Mo family ho, it’s like being at their own place.
With Ziyi there, Qingqing definitely wouldn’t look for them.

On the way back to the city from the suburban villa, Bai Xiaoxiao, sitting in the front passenger seat, slightly turned her body, looking tenderly at the man focused on driving.
Under the dim, soft light, his handso facial features appeared warm and gentle.
Seeing the way she looked at him through the reflection in the glasses, Luo Haofeng suddenly turned to her and gave Bai Xiaoxiao a gentle smile.
“Once I send you ho, go back and accompany Uncle.”
Mother Bai, Mr. Bai, and Father Luo had gone ho before them.
Since Qingqing fell asleep, she was also taken ho by Mother Bai and Mr. Bai. At this point, only Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng remained.
Without thinking, Luo Haofeng shook his head, “I’ll stay with you tonight.”
“But Uncle is staying alone at your place…”
Luo Haofeng chuckled, freeing a hand from the steering wheel to hold Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand, his voice soft and warm in the car, “Xiaoxiao, my dad said before he left that I didn’t need to stay with him.”
“…”
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao’s surprised expression, Luo Haofeng’s smile widened, his long eyes filled with tender affection, “As long as the two of us are happy, my dad will be happy. Besides, this is our first real Spring Festival together, and I must accompany you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao felt touched deep in her heart.
Although there had been many sad events being with Luo Haofeng, the happiness and sweetness now seed to blur the previous sadness in her mory.
Her lips curled into a gentle smile, “Alright then, stay with tonight. Tomorrow, we’ll take Qingqing to see Uncle together.”
“You could actually change what you call him.”
Luo Haofeng teased.
Bai Xiaoxiao glared at him playfully, “I’m not as thick-skinned as you, calling my parents ‘Mom and Dad’ even though we’re not married yet, making them dizzy with happiness. I can change when we get married, it’s not too late.”
“Hahaha, Xiaoxiao, you can be a bit more thick-skinned.”
Luo Haofeng laughed heartily, which resulted in a playful eye roll from Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Do you think we should find a future ho for Lingling too, like An Lin and Qin Mu did, only having to raise a daughter for a year before sending her off?”
Bai Xiaoxiao asked with a giggle.
After musing for a mont, Luo Haofeng replied, “If soone takes care of our Lingling as attentively as Ziyi does for Qingqing, then it’s okay.”
“It’s a pity Ranran gave birth to girl and boy twins. If they were both boys, that would’ve been better.”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked a bit regretful; having a daughter cherished by a boy from a young age is such a lucky thing.
Luo Haofeng chuckled carelessly, “Our Lingling will surely et soone better than Ziyi in the future, no need for regrets.”
“Really?” Bai Xiaoxiao blinked, envisioning such a scene.

Compared to the loving sweetness of these couples, Wen Jin seed rather lonely this New Year’s Eve.
After leaving the Mo family ho, he didn’t go straight ho. Instead, he drove to the cetery.
Even though he had already visited with Wen Ran and others during the day, Wen Jin still wanted to co to accompany them once more.
His handso figure, shrouded in the soft moonlight, cast a shadow on the ground tinged with lonely desolation. The smile he wore was filled with longing for his deceased parents, “Dad, Mom, Happy New Year.”
