CHAPTER 162: CHAPTER 162: QIN XIAO’S MANY FACETS

Xiao Li didn’t want to go, and neither did Qin Xiao. He preferred being at home.

But Xiao Li needed someone to take care of her postpartum, so they hired a maternity nurse at home.

However, this maternity nurse had it pretty easy; unlike others who lived with the mother and child, she only needed to take care of Xiao Li.

At the Qin Family, it was truly relaxing; she only needed to attend to Xiao Li, while the child was mostly handled by others. She didn’t need to stay overnight or get up at night to take care of the child.

Being a maternity nurse here was incredibly comfortable.

How could Qin Xiao let anyone else stay with Xiao Li? The only one who could stay with Xiao Li was him.

As for getting up at night to take care of the child, he could handle it!

Sometimes, at night, Xiao Li was too tired, and the baby woke up wanting to nurse. Qin Xiao would directly bring the baby over, lift Xiao Li’s clothes, and feed the baby. Xiao Li just needed to lie sideways to nurse, and Qin Xiao would watch over them to prevent the baby’s breathing from being obstructed.

Once the baby finished nursing, Qin Xiao would carry the child back, tidy up Xiao Li’s clothes, cover her with the blanket, and cuddle her to sleep.

Having Qin Xiao help with the baby at night made Xiao Li feel even better cared for than by the maternity nurse. Not because the child was cared for so well, but because she felt well cared for.

After settling the baby, Qin Xiao returned to bed, "Nini, it’s getting late. Let’s sleep first. We can talk about anything later..."

Xiao Li nodded, "Okay."

Qin Xiao pulled Xiao Li into his embrace, and they slept holding each other.

Having told Qin Xiao about things, Xiao Li felt relieved and quickly fell asleep.

Qin Xiao, however, couldn’t sleep. He closed his eyes and pondered.

In his dreams before, he despised the Xiao Zhengfang family for harming Xiao Li.

Now hearing Xiao Li confirm everything was true, Qin Xiao’s anger toward the Xiao Zhengfang family reached a peak.

Even though he knew it wasn’t Xiao Zhengfang and his family in this life who did those things to Nini, it didn’t matter, as Xiao Yan was still plotting traps.

If Nini hadn’t experienced these things and successfully avoided Xiao Yan’s scheme, and acted first, wouldn’t everything be the same as in the past life?

Even though Nini avoided Xiao Yan’s first plot, she was still hurt by Xiao Yan in the end.

Since Xiao Yan would still hurt Nini, wouldn’t Nini ultimately lose her life because of Xiao Zhengfang and the others?

Thinking of this, Qin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, breaking into a cold sweat.

Qin Xiao hurriedly hugged Xiao Li tightly. In her dreams, Xiao Li sensed Qin Xiao’s embrace and instinctively returned it.

Feeling Xiao Li’s embrace, Qin Xiao’s heart, scared by his speculations, gradually calmed down. He softly kissed Xiao Li’s forehead; no matter who it was, in this life, they couldn’t take Xiao Li from his side...

In the darkness, Qin Xiao squinted his eyes, then closed them and fell asleep hugging Xiao Li.

The next day, Qin Xiao, who had seldom gone out, suddenly needed to leave.

"Nini, I have some matters to attend to, I’ll be back in about two hours."

Xiao Li nodded briefly, "Alright, if you have matters to attend to, don’t worry about the time. Just come back once you’re done."

Qin Xiao reached out and pulled Xiao Li in, kissed her, and then said, "I’m leaving."

Xiao Li nodded.

Qin Xiao left, and Xiao Li stood by the window watching him get in the car and drive away.

At Heshun Villa, Qin Zilong was pacing back and forth, anxiously awaiting Qin Xiao’s arrival.

Why anxious?

Because Qin Xiao was coming to Heshun Villa.

Qin Xiao usually wouldn’t come to Heshun Villa unless it was necessary. At most, he would make a phone call.

He’s only been to Heshun Villa a few times.

In the previous Wen Family incident, he lost quite a few treasures!

And the first time Qin Xiao came to Heshun Villa was when Qin Tan had just taken over Qin Corporation and encountered a tough competitor. Qin Xiao, upon learning, came to Heshun Villa, directed operations for two days, gathered evidence of illegal activities from the rival company, handed it to Qin Tan, and left it there.

How he gathered the evidence? Hahaha... Qin Xiao possesses an extensive skill set.

On the surface, he’s a refined doctor, a research scientist.

But in reality, he’s a highly skilled martial artist. Just consider when the lab exploded last time, he managed to evade the danger, indicating his martial prowess.

And he could gather information because he’s also a hacker. He spent two days at Heshun Villa, navigating through the rival’s computers.

Those two days weren’t pleasant memories, making Qin Zilong feel exhausted and dizzy from all the work.

And that’s not all; Qin Xiao knows too much, impossible to cover everything at once.

However, Qin Zilong wasn’t surprised by Qin Xiao’s capabilities.

Graduates from the Qin Family academy aren’t weak; having graduated with mediocre grades, Qin Zilong acquired numerous skills. Not to mention Qin Xiao, who graduated with top marks.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the Qin Family’s vast business, Qin Zilong felt they could all be unemployed, considering what Qin Xiao could handle if the family business were smaller.

Having had some unpleasant experiences, Qin Zilong really wished Qin Xiao wouldn’t come to Heshun Villa. Just a phone call would do!

Qin Zilong would surely do his utmost if needed, no need to trouble Qin Xiao to come personally!

As Qin Zilong murmured, waiting for Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao’s car entered Heshun Villa.

As Qin Xiao appeared with Feng Ye in Qin Zilong’s office, Qin Zilong immediately stood tense, calling out, "Second Master."

Qin Xiao entered and sat at the desk.

"Qin Zilong, how has Heshun Villa been lately?"

Upon hearing the question, Qin Zilong was confused, asking about the operation of Heshun Villa?

When did Second Master start caring about Heshun Villa’s operation? Unless something’s amiss?

The first half of this year, Heshun Villa indeed wasn’t doing well due to the pandemic.

But that was due to broader environmental impact. Second Master shouldn’t be here for that. Then why?

Is Heshun Villa exposed?

Thinking of this, Qin Zilong was nervous, "Second Master, has Heshun Villa been exposed?"

Qin Xiao coldly glanced at him, "If you exposed Heshun Villa, I wouldn’t mind sending you back to the family academy for reconstruction."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zilong was frightened, sweat pouring, "Haha... No... Rest assured Second Master, such a thing would never happen."

Oh dear, reconstruction, he’d rather die.

Qin Xiao gave him a chilly look, and Qin Zilong immediately understood, and began to report Heshun Villa’s situation, "Second Master, the first half of the year’s performance was not good due to external conditions.

In the past two months, Heshun Villa’s business has recovered. In half a month, a charity auction will be held at the villa."
