The night was already deep. Chenchen and Wanwan yawned as they watched the bonfire in the yard. The somewhat chilly night had become warm due to the liveliness.
"Mommy, I'm so sleepy." Wanwan lay lazily on Qin Qiao'er's lap and said.
Qin Qiao'er gently stroked Wanwan's head. "Go back to sleep! Mommy will wash you up."
"Wanwan is sleepy. We'll go back to our room first!" Qin Qiao'er told everyone and then pulled Chenchen and Wanwan upstairs.
As soon as Qin Qiao'er returned to the room, she found that Zhao Youting had also followed. "Mr. Zhao, the dinner tonight was delicious. Thank you for the treat! Mr. Zhao, go back and rest early!" Qin Qiao'er said with a smile.
"I'll come and give Chenchen a bath to help you." Zhao Youting tilted his head and lifted the corner of his mouth as he said.
"Sure!" Qin Qiao'er let out a soft laugh. It would be good for Chenchen to have more contact with Zhao Youting.
When Chenchen heard that Zhao Youting was going to give him a bath, excitement flashed across his face, and then he lowered his head shyly.
"Wanwan also wants to go together!" Wanwan rubbed her eyes and yawned as she said.
"Wanwan is a girl. You can't take a bath with the boys!" Qin Qiao'er hugged Wanwan and said.
"Okay, then Wanwan will take a bath with Mommy." Wanwan obediently lay on Qin Qiao'er's shoulder.
"Right. Then I'll go and wash Wanwan first." Qin Qiao'er turned to Zhao Youting and said.
The man nodded as he watched the mother and daughter. "Is Chenchen sleepy?" the man squatted down and asked.
Chenchen shook his head. His cute little face was as red as two apples.
"Even if you're not sleepy, you still have to go to bed. Kids can't stay up late. Come on. Let's go and wash you up before they come back." Zhao Youting picked up Chenchen and went to the bathroom downstairs.
Just as Zhao Youting was about to take off Chenchen's clothes, Chenchen blushed and refused. "I'm a man! I'll do it myself." Chenchen said in a low voice.
"Humph~ Okay! You do it yourself." Zhao Youting let out a soft laugh. Since he couldn't persuade Chenchen, he just let him be.
What Zhao Youting didn't expect was that Chenchen could really take off his own clothes. After all, kids of his age were usually spoiled rotten. Although Zhao Youting didn't advocate spoiling boys, for some reason, when he saw Chenchen and Wanwan, he only felt pity and just wanted to spoil them well.
What Zhao Youting didn't know was that many people thought the same way. After all, the two little ones were not only cute but also very sensible.
"Lie down. I'll wash your hair." Zhao Youting supported the boy's body with his palm and slowly laid him down.
Chenchen obediently let Zhao Youting wash his hair. The man looked at the boy's face and felt that he looked familiar.
"Do you know where your father is?" Zhao Youting asked. Since there were no cameras installed in the bathroom.
"Mom said Dad is very busy. He's always abroad." Chenchen closed his eyes and said.
"Okay." Zhao Youting lowered his eyes and replied.
"But I know I don't have a father." The words Chenchen suddenly said made Zhao Youting stunned for a moment.
"Why?" Zhao Youting asked calmly on the surface.
"Mom never talks about Dad. There are no photos of Dad in our house, and they don't even have a wedding photo. Moreover, I've never seen Dad." As Chenchen was talking, a crystal tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.
Zhao Youting stroked the top of Chenchen's head. He felt that he was really bad for making the child say such things.
"It's okay. We're living a good life now. I still have Mommy, Wanwan, and Aunt Qinqin, as well as many little friends." Chenchen comforted Zhao Youting instead.
What Chenchen didn't know was that this made Zhao Youting feel even more heartache. "You're done washing. Let's go to bed!" Zhao Youting didn't want to mention this matter anymore.
"Okay, thank you, Dad Youting!" Chenchen said with a smile. His little face was full of pure childishness.
Zhao Youting smiled and stroked the top of the boy's head. The man wrapped a bath towel around Chenchen and then went out.
As soon as Qin Qiao'er finished taking a bath and came out, she saw Zhao Youting carrying Chenchen into the room.
The woman's long black hair was wet. The black hair was tightly attached to the woman's delicate and fair face, making her skin look even whiter.
The white bathrobe was tightly attached to the woman's body, revealing her graceful figure. Zhao Youting was stunned for a moment when he saw Qin Qiao'er.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhao!" Qin Qiao'er looked at the man and said with a smile.
"It's my pleasure!" Zhao Youting put Chenchen down and said.
"It's cold at night. Mr. Zhao, go back and rest early!" Qin Qiao'er covered Chenchen and Wanwan with the quilt and said.
"Okay, good night!"
"Good night!"
After seeing Zhao Youting off, Qin Qiao'er tidied up and then went to sleep. The sudden workload was a bit too much for her.
Early the next morning, Qin Qiao'er was woken up by the noise outside. The woman woke up groggily and took a look out of the window but didn't find anything.
"Mommy! It's so noisy!" Wanwan said with half-closed eyes.
"Okay, I'll go and have a look later. It's already half past seven. Get up!" Qin Qiao'er said as she dressed Wanwan.
"Okay~" Wanwan rubbed her eyes and said somewhat reluctantly.
After Qin Qiao'er and the others got dressed and went downstairs, they saw Xu Xunling and Song Qianqian arguing. Shi Xinyan beside them was anxiously pulling Xu Xunling.
"Xunling! Let's stop arguing. Go upstairs!" Shi Xinyan said weakly.
"Why? She's the one who's wrong, not you. I just want her to apologize!" Xu Xunling shouted loudly.
"Why should I apologize! I'm not going to apologize!" Song Qianqian said arrogantly.
"It's because you said something about Xinyan just now! I don't care who you are! Apologize to me right away!" Xu Xunling said angrily.
"What's going on?" Qin Qiao'er quickly ran over and asked.
"It's this Song Qianqian. As soon as she came here and saw Xinyan cooking, she said something sarcastic and deliberately tripped Xinyan. Do you think I'm not angry!" Xu Xunling was straightforward and just said what was on her mind.
"Humph!" Song Qianqian glanced at Qin Qiao'er and snorted.
"Miss Song, you should apologize both emotionally and rationally!" Qin Qiao'er was also a bit unhappy. She knew Shi Xinyan's personality. She was gentle and didn't fight for anything.
"Humph! I didn't do anything wrong!" Song Qianqian turned her head and snorted.
"How can you be like this! Apologize to me!" Xu Xunling said angrily. She didn't know much about Song Qianqian and was a bit helpless with this woman.
"I don't care about you guys. Get out of the way!" Song Qianqian pulled her suitcase and pushed Xu Xunling. She almost pushed Xu Xunling to the ground.
"Stop!" a man said coldly.
Everyone heard the voice and quickly got out of the way. Zhao Youting slowly walked downstairs from the upper floor. The man's face was cold, as if he were a god.
"Brother Youting~" Song Qianqian saw Zhao Youting and hurriedly ran forward.
"This is simply nonsense! Apologize to Miss Xu and Miss Shi!" Just now, Zhao Youting heard the general idea. He just thought that Song Qianqian was really a headache.
"Brother Youting~ I didn't do it on purpose!"
"Apologize!" Zhao Youting said in a tone that didn't allow any refusal.
