Power and Wealth
Chapter 843 – Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan
Saturday afternoon.
A baby was crying at home, and Dong Xuebing was anxious. He was worried about his daughter and worried about Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan. He was so worried that he was sweating during winter.
“Be good…. Stop crying….”
“Wa… wa… wa….”
“Ah…. What is it? Tell Daddy what you want…. Are you hungry?”
“You must be missing your Mom. She is coming back….”
A few seconds later, Dong Xuebing heard the sounds of keys rattling. Someone was opening the door.
The door opened, and Xie Huilan entered with a bag of eggs. Qu Yunxuan was holding two bags of groceries behind her.
Dong Xuebing’s heart sank. They had gone out together….”
Xie Huilan saw Dong Xuebing in the living room and did not say anything. She went into the kitchen and kept the eggs in the fridge.
Qu Yunxuan also did not say anything. She unpacked the groceries from her bags in the kitchen.
Dong Xuebing immediately felt uneasy. Every time he saw Aunt Xuan and Huilan together, he felt guilty. After all, he was two-timing them. But it was too late to say anything now. He will feel more uncomfortable if this silent treatment continues. He must make the first move. “Where did you all go? How can you all leave a baby at home? What if something happens to her? Luckily, I am back early. She had been crying, and I had to change her diapers. Look…. She is still crying now. Is this the way how you all care for her?”
Wa… wa… wa…. Little Qianqian cried loudly.
Dong Xuebing pretended to be angry. “Look! She is still crying!”
Xie Huilan ignored Dong Xuebing. She put her handbag on the coffee table and sat on the sofa. She yawned, crossed her legs, and enjoyed her tea.
Qu Yunxuan also did not say anything. She continued to wash the vegetables in the kitchen.
Dong Xuebing was speechless. You all are ignoring me!
Dong Xuebing looked at them and walked to the kitchen with a smile. “Xuanxuan…. Is our daughter hungry? She is less than one month old. You should be showing more concern for her.”
Qu Yunxuan grumbled. “Who is the one who doesn’t care about Qianqian?! She was born two months ago and is almost 100-days old now.”
Dong Xuebing gasped. “Huh?! She’s almost 100-days old?! I forgot the time because of the earthquake.”
Dong Xuebing looked at his daughter in his arms. She had grown bigger and heavier.
Qu Yunxuan gave Dong Xuebing a stare and lovingly carried Qianqian in her arms. She smiled and kissed her before lifting her top to feed her.
Dong Xuebing was staring at Qu Yunxuan’s chest. Her breasts had become bigger after giving birth.
Qu Yunxuan noticed Dong Xuebing’s eyes and blushed. “What are you looking at?! Are you looking for a beating?”
“What’s wrong with looking?” Dong Xuebing continued to look at her breasts. “When did you arrive?”
Qu Yunxuan replied. “Two days ago. I had wanted to call you, but I heard you were hospitalized for saving someone. I didn’t want to bother you, so I did not call you.”
“I heard you had become the TV Station’s news anchor.”
“It’s not confirmed. I had a few years of newspaper agency experience. I asked my connections to get me a job in the TV station’s back office side. One of the news anchors fell sick, and the other had gone back to her hometown. So, they asked me to be their replacement for these two days. My position is still under the back office.”
Dong Xuebing praised. “I watched you reporting the news. You are fantastic. I even overheard people praising you on my way home.”
Qu Yunxuan laughed. “You are good at sweet-talking. Haha….”
“I am telling the truth. You will have better prospects as a news anchor than working in the back office or newspaper agency. Oh, did our Mum and Dad come with you?”
“No. I came alone.”
“Who cares for our daughter when you go to work?”
“I had hired a nanny to help me look after her.”
After drinking milk, Little Qianqian stopped crying and started laughing.
Dong Xuebing wanted to carry Qianqian and play with her, but Xie Huilan entered the kitchen. She walked to Qu Yunxuan and carried Qianqian. She moved her fingers in front of Qianqian and tried to catch it with her tiny hands. It made her giggle loudly.
Xie Huilan laughed and said. “Our Little Qianqian is so beautiful. You will live with Godmother in the future. I will make sure you grow up prettier.”
Little Qianqian waved her hands and legs about.
Xie Huilan smiled. “Oh, are you trying to scratch me?”
Qu Yunxuan reminded me. “Huilan, be careful. Babies don’t know how to control their strength.”
“I know. It’s alright.” Xie Huilan laughed. “She is so cute.”
Dong Xuebing was stunned. “What, Godmother?”
Xie Huilan replied without looking at Dong Xuebing. “Yunxuan and I had talked about this during the air crash. We will be Godmothers to each other’s children. Do you have a problem with that?”
Dong Xuebing quickly replies. “No… no….”
Qu Yunxuan said. “Alright. You two can go out and watch TV. It’s almost noon, and I got to cook lunch.”
Xie Huilan smiled. “Let Xiao Bing make lunch. He had enjoyed himself in Nan Shan District these few days. We will go out and enjoy our tea.”
Dong Xuebing started sweating again when he heard this.
Qu Yunxuan hesitated. “Let Xiao Bing rest. He had been working for almost a week.” Dong Xuebing comes first in her heart.
Dong Xuebing looked at her. “No need. You two go out and rest. I will cook lunch.”
Qu Yunxuan frowned. “You had lost so much blood. Just leave this to me.”
“Ah…. I am fine. What can happen to me?” Dong Xuebing pushed Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan out of the kitchen. “Just play with Qianqian. Cooking is my job. How can I let you two cook? Leave the kitchen to me.” He was relieved to see Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan not arguing. They looked like they were close, and he was touched.
