CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: BABY~

Wen Jiliang paused slightly while brewing tea as he heard this, then continued, "It’s just that they look similar. There are so many people in the world who look alike. You attended the banquet today and must be tired. Have some tea and then go rest!"

Wen Zeyu nodded, took a sip of tea, and then got up to return to his room.

"The eldest young master is back."

A servant’s voice rang out as Wen Zelin walked in from outside the front door. Just in time to see Wen Zeyu going upstairs with his head down, he asked, "What’s wrong with Zeyu?"

After speaking, he sat down at the tea table. Wen Jiliang poured him a cup of tea and said calmly, "He’s missing your grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zelin paused slightly in the middle of unbuttoning his collar...

Wen Jiliang continued, "Today, Zeyu went to attend a banquet where he met a woman who looked very much like your grandmother.

She looked so much like her that Zeyu mistook her for your grandmother.

This woman is the wife of that Qin Xiao kid. You should have someone investigate her background..."

Wen Zelin responded, "Dad, are you worried..."

Wen Jiliang shook his head. "It’s been so many years, and there’s been no news from your aunt. I’m not suspicious of anything, just checking out of habit..."

Wen Zelin nodded, "I understand."

Once home, Xiao Li put aside the matter of investigating the Wen Family. It wasn’t that important to her anyway, especially since Qin Xiao was handling it, and she didn’t need to think much...

Compared to investigating the Wen Family, Xiao Li had a more important thing to do now, which was to look at photos of Uncle...

Inside Qin Mother’s bedroom, after Xiao Li and Qin Mother sent Qin Father out and locked the door, they took out a photo of Qin Xiao in a dress from a small tin box...

Because it was an old photo, it was a bit blurry, but Xiao Li was still charmed by the image of Qin Xiao in the photo.

When Qin Xiao was small, he loved to laugh, and in the photo, he was smiling beautifully. Yes... beautiful...

Qin Xiao was good-looking and wearing a dress. It was hard to tell if a child was a boy or a girl, so if you showed this photo to others and didn’t say it was a boy, they might really think he was a girl.

Xiao Li looked at the photo with an aunt-like smile, "Mom, looking at this photo, I think little Mianmian still looks more like Uncle."

Previously, Xiao Li thought Mianmian didn’t particularly resemble either Qin Xiao or herself, but was a combination of both their features.

But now after looking at this photo, Xiao Li felt that Mianmian still resembled Qin Xiao a bit more...

Qin Mother also looked carefully and said, "You’re right, looking at this photo does make it seem so..."

Xiao Li took out her phone to photograph the picture, then returned the precious photo to Qin Mother before happily skipping back to her room.

Once back in the room, Xiao Li waved the phone in front of Qin Xiao’s face...

Qin Xiao was on a call, and seeing Xiao Li waving her phone, he didn’t see clearly what it was. He quickly ended the call with a few casual words.

After ending the call, Qin Xiao pulled Xiao Li into his arms, "What did you just show me? I didn’t see clearly..."

Xiao Li laughed, "It’s my treasure."

Qin Xiao smiled at her words, "Aren’t I your treasure! Hmm..."

The last "hmm" had a strong tone of threat.

Xiao Li nodded with a smile, "Yes! That’s why I said it’s a treasure..."

Qin Xiao was confused by her words and planted a long kiss on Xiao Li, and while she was still dazed, he took the phone from her hand...

Once the kiss ended, Qin Xiao opened Xiao Li’s phone to look, and his face immediately darkened.

"Where did this come from?"

Asking this, Qin Xiao was about to delete the photo, but Xiao Li quickly stopped him, "That’s my treasure, are you sure you want to delete it?

Do you not want to be my treasure anymore..."

Hearing this, Qin Xiao helplessly rubbed his forehead and reluctantly withdrew his finger poised over the delete button...

Xiao Li quickly snatched the phone back, "Actually, this photo is quite nice. Look how much this photo looks like you and Mianmian!

I wonder if our son in the future will be as adorable as you were when you were little?"

As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, she found herself being lifted up in a princess hold...

Qin Xiao laughed and said, "If you want to know, we just have to have a baby to find out."

Hearing this, Xiao Li covered her eyes and laughed...

In the following days, Xiao Li no longer had to attend banquets and could finally have a proper rest.

After resting for a few days and seeing that Xiao Li had regained her energy, Qin Xiao took her on a trip to the nearby area.

When they left, Mianmian was left at home. Xiao Li was reluctant and wanted to bring Mianmian along, but Qin Xiao simply carried her away.

In the car, Xiao Li looked at Qin Xiao with a huff, "Uncle, we have never taken Mianmian out to play before. Can we take her out this time?

Don’t you want her?"

Qin Xiao shook his head, "I do want her, but we can’t take her this time... We’ll take her next time."

If they took her, their plans would fall apart.

Xiao Li didn’t understand, "Why can’t we take her?"

Qin Xiao smiled, "This trip is planned as a couple’s getaway, and many places wouldn’t be suitable for a child...

Besides, this whole year, except for when you were working, you mostly spent your time focused on her. This time, it should be my turn.

Out of 365 days in a year, I only get these 15 days with you, that’s not unreasonable, right!

When we come back, we’ll take her to the amusement park, okay?"

When Xiao Li heard the trip was planned as a couple’s getaway, her imagination ran wild, making her blush...

Afterwards, seeing Qin Xiao pitifully arguing for some privileges, Xiao Li had nothing to say...

Qin Xiao took Xiao Li on a fun trip, visiting trendy spots popular with young couples, where they took pictures and played around like a couple.

Until the final stop, where they went to a less populated mountain.

The car kept climbing up the winding mountain path. At first, Xiao Li enjoyed looking at the scenery outside, but eventually she fell asleep in the passenger seat.

She had been sleep-deprived during this time!

After driving for two hours, they finally stopped in front of a place halfway up the mountain...

Qin Xiao stopped the car, turned to look at Xiao Li’s sleeping face, and didn’t wake her, just quietly waited for her to wake up on her own...

Xiao Li slept soundly, and only after Qin Xiao had also rested in the car for half an hour did she slowly wake up...

Rubbing her eyes, Xiao Li croaked, "Are we there?"

Qin Xiao chuckled lightly, "Yes, we’re here."

Xiao Li looked outside the car, "Where is this? Is there anything fun around?"

Qin Xiao laughed, "This isn’t a fun place; it’s the place I feared most coming to as a child.

But it’s also the place I most wanted to bring you to."

Xiao Li was puzzled, "What kind of place is this? It sounds contradictory..."

Qin Xiao laughed, "Go down and take a look; you’ll see."
