The next morning.
Geng Yuehua's apartment. Dong Xuebing got out of bed at around 5 am. He looked at his watch and yawned before getting dressed. He did not want to wake Geng Yuehua up and covered her with her blanket before leaving her apartment quietly. He purposely avoids people, especially Geng Yuehua's parents and Geng Xinke, who live downstairs. They must not see him. This is also the reason why Dong Xuebing woke up so early. If not, he would have a good sleep yesterday. But there will be more people around 6 or 7 am, and Dong Xuebing must consider Geng Yuehua's reputation.
The sky is still dark.
There are not many people on the streets, and the food stalls are selling steaming buns.
"Boss, bring me a tray of buns."
"It's not ready yet. We had just set up our stall."
"Oh, how long do you need to wait?"
"It won't take long. Take a seat first. It will only take ten minutes."
Dong Xuebing sat down and waited for about ten minutes. After that, there are more taxis available. Dong Xuebing wiped his mouth and hailed a taxi to Lui An City.
7 am.
A district in Lui An City.
Dong Xuebing alighted and walked upstairs. He did not even inform his mother and Uncle Yang about his visit as he does not want them to know. He only wants to settle his own matters. Geng Yuehua will not have any problems, and Dong Xuebing will have dinner with the leaders in Fen Zhou City tonight or tomorrow. He will also contact the leaders in Hebei Province or ask his mother-in-law to help him. Geng Yuehua will surely be promoted to Deputy Mayor, and this is the only thing he can do for her secretly. So, Dong Xuebing's next stop is Qu Yunxuan.
Upstairs.
A unit on the third floor.
Dong Xuebing knocked on the door and pressed the doorbell.
"Who is it?" The door opened, and Qu Yunxuan walked out in her pajamas. She should have woken up not long ago and was surprised to see Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Bing? Why are you back? Come in. Why didn't you inform me that you are back? "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I wanted to give you a surprise."
Qu Yunxuan ruffled his hair gently. "You …"
"Give me a kiss first." After closing the door, Dong Xuebing hugged her and kissed her.
Qu Yunxuan dodged for a while. In the end, they kissed for a while, and after separating, Qu Yunxuan flicked Dong Xuebing's nose with her finger. "You little bastard."
"Are you not working?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Qu Yunxuan replied. "I had been busy for a while and had some rest these few days. I went home to take care of my son. You should have called me earlier. I will not be at home when you return two days ago. My son is at your mother's place at that time. You really know how to pick the time."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "This is called telepathy. I know you are around. Err … where is Qianqian? Where's my precious daughter? Why didn't I see it? "
Qu Yunxuan replied helplessly: "This little girl is still sleeping in her room. She should be going to kindergarten at 8.30 am, but she refuses to wake up."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "She is going to kindergarten now?"
"That's right. She is more than 2 years old. She should be going to kindergarten when she is 3 years old. But I had discussed with our mother, and we want her to go to kindergarten earlier." Qu Yunxuan poked Dong Xuebing's forehead. "You … you don't even know that your child is going to school."
Dong Xuebing was speechless. "Who asked you all to not tell me?"
Qu Yunxuan replied. "Actually, she had just started kindergarten a few days ago. I was just about to tell you."
"Hurry and wake her up. She still needs to wash up and have breakfast." Dong Xuebing said.
Qu Yunxuan shouted towards the bedroom. "Qianqian, wake up. Come out and see who is back. It's Daddy. Hurry up."
Suddenly, a child's voice came from the bedroom, and the half-closed bedroom door was pushed open. Qianqian, who had grown taller and fatter, ran out. When she saw Dong Xuebing, she started waving her hands and shouted. "Daddy! Daddy! Hug! Hug! "
Dong Xuebing was also excited. He quickly carried his daughter and gave her a big kiss on her cheek. "You are such a good girl. Daddy had missed you so much."
Qianqian, whose hair was still messy, giggled.
"Did you miss Daddy?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Qianqian nodded. "Daddy! Kiss! "
Dong Xuebing moved his face closer, and Xiao Qianqian kissed her father's cheek. She is so cute that it's hard to describe. It's been a while since Dong Xuebing met his daughter, and he could feel his daughter's language skills had improved. Although she still can't speak fluently, she can say a few key phrases, and the adults can understand her. It's not a problem for her to communicate with Dong Xuebing.
Qu Yunxuan laughed: "You little brat. I had been calling you for so long, and you ignored me. Oh, you ran out when I came?" Qu Yunxuan laughed: "You little brat.
Qianqian looked at her mother. "Mummy! Kiss! "
Qu Yunxuan moved her face closer to her mother, and Qianqian also kissed her mother.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "This child will surely have high EQ in the future. I think she is born to be a government official. She knows not to offend anyone at such a young age. If she is my daughter, she should have inherited my good genes. Not bad. She will be a good government official in the future."
Qu Yunxuan did not like what Dong Xuebing heard. "I will not let her be a government official in the future. Don't make random arrangements for her. Let's talk about what she wants in the future."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Hurry up and help your daughter wash up. I will prepare breakfast for you and your mother."
About 10 minutes later.
Breakfast was ready, and Qu Yunxuan carried Qianqian over.
"Daddy! Hug! I want Daddy! "Qianqian was twisting around her mother's arms, trying to grab Dong Xuebing's chest.
Qu Yunxuan replied angrily. "You have a father, and you have forgotten about me?"
Qianqian refused and wants to hug her father. If not, she will not eat.
Dong Xuebing carried his daughter and let her sit on his lap. "Ok. Daddy will feed you today. Look at how obedient our daughter is." Dong Xuebing looked at the unhappy Qu Yunxuan and laughed. "Aunt Xuan, I have to reprimand you. My child had not seen me for a while, and what's wrong with letting me hug him? Look at you. You are even jealous. At most, I will hug you later. Hurry up and eat."
Qu Yunxuan rolled her eyes. "Go to hell."
The family of 3 chatted and laughed. It was a heartwarming meal.
There was still some time after lunch, and Qu Yunxuan asked Qianqian to pack her school bag. From now on, she wants to nurture her daughter's hands-on skills. Qianqian was unwilling, but when Qu Yunxuan gave her a stern look, she obediently went to pack her bags. Seems like Qu Yunxuan is good at educating children. Qu Yunxuan had the image of a gentle housewife and was very traditional. She had no problems taking care of Qu Yunxuan. Qu Yunxuan can be strict when it's time to be strict and pamper Qu Yunxuan. Qu Yunxuan is very good at it. If it were Dong Xuebing, he would be finished. If Qianqian was taken care of by him for 2 years, she will be spoiled. Dong Xuebing's working skills are the best. But when it comes to looking after children, he is not good at educating them. He had taken care of Qianqian alone for a few days in the past, but he was not good at it. That's why Qu Yunxuan is taking care of Qianqian.
Without Qianqian around, they can talk to each other.
Qu Yunxuan asked. "Why are you back in such a hurry? When are you leaving? "
"I am back because I miss you and our child. I will be leaving the day after tomorrow." Dong Xuebing looked at Qu Yunxuan. "Yunxuan, I'm sorry."
Qu Yunxuan laughed. "What's wrong?"
"We are in different places, and I cannot come back often. I can't take care of you and our child." Dong Xuebing replied apologetically.
Qu Yunxuan replied casually. "Just carry on with your work. Don't worry about me."
Dong Xuebing paused for a second and said. "There is only 2 years left of the 5 years promise, right? When we get married, you and our child will move in with me. "
Dong Xuebing, Qu Yunxuan, and Xie Huilan had made a promise a long time ago. At that time, Dong Xuebing's love life was not as messy as now, but he had a lot of conflicts. Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan almost got into a fight because of this. In the end, they made this promise. Dong Xuebing will marry Xie Huilan first, and after five years, he will divorce Qu Yunxuan.
Qu Yunxuan paused for a while. "Forget it. I had forgotten about the 5 years promise."
"Ah? What do you mean forget it? "Dong Xuebing was stunned." How can you forget about it? Didn't we agree that you and Xie Huilan … "
Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebing's nose and interrupted him. "I am quite satisfied with my life now. I can accompany my child, go to work, and visit you often. So what if we are married or not? Everyone has their own careers. You might be married to Xie Huilan, but you are still living apart. There is no difference. I heard from our mother that you are going to be the City's Party Secretary soon. Your political career is rising, and if you get a divorce, it will affect your career. This is a sensitive issue, and you can't make a decision like playing house. So, never mind. I will call Huilan later to tell her. "
Dong Xuebing panics. "How can I let you do that?"
Qu Yunxuan laughed. "As long as you and our child are fine, I will be fine. Alright. You don't need to say anymore."
Dong Xuebing knew Qu Yunxuan was thinking of him, and he was touched. To have such a woman supporting him was a blessing he had accumulated over several lifetimes.
