In the room, only Huo Qinqi and Little Crooked Neck Tree were left.
Huo Qinqi couldn’t stand it, so he grabbed a soft tissue and wiped his mouth.
The little guy just stared at him like that. In reality, no one dared to stare at him anymore. It was because kids are ignorant and fearless. Huo Qinqi frowned, "Stop staring."
Jiang Xiaowai continued blowing bubbles, but after half a minute, it seed the little guy’s reflex arc suddenly returned—
"Waa—" he started crying loudly.
Huo Qinqi’s face turned black instantly.
Why did he suddenly start crying?
He frowned, picked up a toy placed aside, and waved it in front of him. Huo Qinqi wasn’t good at coaxing kids, and this wasn’t his own child, so he couldn’t say things like "sweet baby." He just kept a stern face and kept shaking the toy in front of him.
Jiang Xiaowai’s attention was initially caught by the toy, and he stopped crying. When Huo Qinqi saw he wasn’t crying anymore and just put the toy back, he started wailing again.
Now, no toy was good enough to calm him down.
Recently, Huo Qinqi had learned quite a bit and knew that if a child suddenly acted like this, it might be because he was hungry or had wet himself.
He tried hard to suppress the ntal shadow from being peed on before, carefully picking him up from the crib and placing him on the bed, starting to check his diaper...
But the child kept crying incessantly and simply wouldn’t cooperate.
Huo Qinqi pinched his tender little arms and legs, not daring to exert too much force. If it were his subordinate, he would have stuffed sothing first to plug his mouth.
The crying made him feel chaotic internally.
The little guy wasn’t wet, but it wasn’t easy to help him put the diaper back on.
When Tang Wan and others heard the crying and returned to the room, they found Little Crooked Neck Tree, stripped of his diaper by soone, bawling on the bed with his butt completely bare...
There were only two people on the scene, so naturally, Huo Qinqi was deed the "culprit," especially since he still had the diaper in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Shen Shuci frowned.
Huo Qinqi frowned, not knowing how to explain.
"Why are you crying? He’s your great uncle, not an outsider..." Tang Wan walked over, helped her son change into a new diaper, held him in her arms to soothe him, and the little guy stopped crying.
"What are you doing, are you bullying the child?" Shen Shuci sighed.
Huo Qinqi’s appearance wasn’t fierce, but his imposing aura was intimidating, and all the relatives’ kids were terrified of him.
"No." Huo Qinqi threw away the diaper in his hand and glanced at Little Crooked Neck Tree. Their eyes t, and the little guy cried even more ferociously.
Huo Qinqi’s headache was about to split open—
Why bother naming him anything; just call him Little Trumpet, Little Suona, because he’s way too noisy.
In the end, the child stopped crying, and even let Huo Qinqi hold him for a while, only to end up lying in his arms, blowing bubbles and dampening his shirt collar.
When he and Shen Shuci were driving ho, Shen Shuci kept saying how cute the kid was.
But Huo Qinqi kept frowning, not saying a word. He thought to himself, if his child turned out to be like this Little Suona from the Jiang Family, he feared he’d lose his mind.
His aura was too strong, his looks weren’t harmless, and combined with his lack of speech skills, he wouldn’t defend himself. He was bound to be frad by kids, and Huo Qinqi unjustly took the bla for quite a few incidents.
It wasn’t just Little Crooked Neck Tree; later, his family had a little unexpected "frar" who nearly drove him crazy.
Everyone teased that in the past, no one dared to show Huo Qinqi a bad face or trick him, and so his "karma" arrived.

At the Qi Group at that mont
After Qi Zeyan arrived at the company, he indeed had urgent matters to handle, caused by the snowstorm. Xiaozhu had initially thought that his tone over the phone was unpleasant and figured that once he arrived at the company, he would surely be scolded.
He wasn’t a bad-tempered boss, but he was very willful and spoke without malice. When soone first started working for him, he’d want to fire them eighteen tis a day, but they got used to it.
He was all set to face the wrath.
Unexpectedly, soone humd a tune and walked into the office with spring in his step, seemingly in a good mood, and worked highly efficiently.
"Boss, did sothing particularly happy happen to you?" Xiaozhu cautiously asked, seeing him in a good mood. Otherwise, as an assistant, who dared to pry into the boss’s private affairs.
"Is it that obvious?" Qi Zeyan raised an eyebrow.
"Extrely obvious." Xiaozhu thought about his recent interactions with Ruan ngxi, "Have you made progress with Xiaoruan?"
"What do you think?"
"Established a relationship?"
"No, I’m pursuing her. It’s currently unrequited love."
"..."
Just unrequited love, what’s there to be so happy about.
Xiaozhu took a deep breath; is the boss of his actually a fool?
"Any other plans?" Qi Zeyan quickly finished handling his current tasks.
"There’s a social engagent that was scheduled a month and a half ago."
"With President Liu, right?" Qi Zeyan thought of wanting to go to Ruan ngxi’s place for a al, but now seed impossible, "I’ll change clothes; you start preparing the car."
"Alright." Before Xiaozhu left, he tidied up the signed and completed docunts on his desk to take them out.
Qi Zeyan was holding his phone, making a call. Xiaozhu thought it was to his family, telling the senior president he wouldn’t be ho for dinner, but it turned out to be a call to Ruan ngxi.
"Aren’t you at work? Why are you calling ?" Ruan ngxi was curled up on the sofa watching a series.
"I just felt like calling you, what’s wrong with that?"
"Nothing, as long as you’re happy."
"I have a social engagent tonight that was scheduled earlier, don’t wait for to have dinner."
"I already ate."
Eating alone, just getting by without bothering to cook or light the stove unless necessary.
"..." Qi Zeyan was a bit choked up, "What did you eat tonight?"
"Just sothing random. Do you have anything else to say?"
"I’m going to the engagent, just calling to inform you."
"We don’t have that kind of relationship; you really don’t need to inform ."
"I want to!"
...
Xiaozhu was sorting out the files on the table, and heard their conversation loud and clear, unable to help a headache.
Were these two having a childish argunt?
Why weren’t there any romantic vibes at all?
Qi Zeyan hung up the phone, still in good spirits, changed into a suit and styled his hair into a neat pinned part, his shoes polished shiny. When he left, he was still the poised and handso General Manager Qi, not at all resembling the Qi Hanhan who just argued with Ruan ngxi.
In business circles, at social engagents, drinking was just as usual. Normally, when others toasted him, he would take a symbolic sip, but today he drank quite a bit.
Xiaozhu thought he was in a good mood. After leaving the hotel from the engagent, he helped him into the car, then turned and asked, "Boss, do you need sothing to sober you up?"
"No need, I’ve worked hard to get myself drunk." Qi Zeyan hadn’t drunk much. He had been in business for so long, claiming not getting drunk after a thousand drinks, wasn’t necessarily great but not really bad either.
"Huh?" Xiaozhu was stunned for a bit, got himself drunk.
"To Xiaoruan’s place!"
"It’s almost ten o’clock."
"Why are you talking so much, hurry up, drive quickly." Qi Zeyan urged him.
Xiaozhu frowned; a man in love is truly different huh, even starting to play tricks. That’s intending to pretend to be drunk and stay at Xiaoruan’s place?
So shaless.
These kinds of things need a surprise attack. Otherwise, considering Ruan ngxi’s temperant, she definitely wouldn’t take him in.
So when they arrived downstairs at the unit building, Xiaozhu frowned, "Boss, without a resident’s card, we can’t get up." Xiaozhu had co last ti, just happened to et other residents and tagged along in the elevator.
"No worries, I have one!"
Qi Zeyan took a card out of his pocket and even pulled out a set of keys—
Ruan ngxi was currently on video call with family, chatting happily. Ruan Dad saw his daughter’s usual deanor, had dispelled the idea of heading to Shangjing, and she was completely unaware of the "danger" approaching.
