CHAPTER 629: CHAPTER 627 SENTIMENT

She didn’t completely believe that woman’s words; half of it was her own intuition.

Looking at the empty bed, Xiao Qing felt lost for the first time, like an abandoned child.

After a while, she rubbed her face and turned towards Da Bao and Xiao Bao’s rooms. Today was finally Friday, and once she got through today, the elder Lu couple would return with Nanny Zhang tomorrow or the day after, and she would be liberated.

Since the two children were now aware of gender distinctions, Xiao Qing arranged separate rooms for each of them.

She first entered Da Bao’s room, where she saw the bed neatly made and Da Bao dressed and walking towards her, she smiled: "Da Bao, you’ve grown up."

Da Bao gave her a disdainful glance, "Mummy, you should call me son Da Bao, Xiao Bao is the one who should call me brother."

"...Alright. Have you washed up yet?"

"Yes."

"Want to go wake up Xiao Bao with Mummy?"

"No!" Da Bao responded without a second thought, "I’m a boy, and Mummy, Xiao Bao is a girl."

Xiao Qing: "..."

She asked Da Bao to go downstairs first, and then she went to Xiao Bao’s room, only to find that Xiao Bao, who usually liked to sleep in, was also already up.

It would be a lie to say she wasn’t surprised; these children, who always needed her to dress them by hand, had suddenly learned to take care of themselves overnight. Beyond shock, Xiao Qing felt more pride.

Her two treasures had finally grown up.

"Xiao Bao, can you tell Mummy why you got up so early today?"

"Because it’s Friday, daddy said he’s taking us out for good food tonight."

Xiao Qing paused, and asked instinctively, "When did daddy say that?"

"Just last night."

Last night?

Xiao Qing thought about it, guessing he probably spoke to them in their room before he left. She nodded, "Then you two need to behave well today~"

"We definitely will~"

Lu Jinyang returned home when Xiao Qing was taking the children out, his face bearing signs of fatigue, not as energetic as usual.

Even his gestures and expressions seemed somewhat perfunctory while embracing Da Bao and Xiao Bao.

-

After returning Xiao Bao to school, Xiao Qing didn’t want to go back to the quiet home, so she drove to the mall instead.

After wandering around for a while, she received a call from Gu Li.

On the phone, Gu Li sounded somewhat discontented, "Qing sister, have you forgotten about me, your agent?"

Xiao Qing laughed, "How could I? I was just about to call you."

"Nonsense!" After saying that, Gu Li herself laughed, "Qing sister, are you planning to settle down there?"

"Probably not, besides, my contract with New City isn’t up yet, breaking it would mean a fine."

Gu Li instinctively wanted to say: You’re the lady boss of New City, how could they fine you!

However, she remembered Gu Chen’s admonition at the last moment.

She had only learned a few days ago that Lu Jinyang was the new president of New City, and Gu Chen was just his subordinate. At that time, she was really shocked.

No wonder Xiao Qing had never completed a single work, yet could still stay in New City unscathed. If it were someone else, they would have been driven away long ago.

But Gu Chen instructed her not to tell Xiao Qing about Lu Jinyang being the new president.

His exact words were: "It’s the couple’s private matter, don’t get involved."

So, was President Lu doing this just for the sake of keeping up appearances?

Gu Li found it a bit hard to understand the behaviors of the wealthy.

"Gu Li? What are you thinking about, why aren’t you responding to me?" Xiao Qing’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
