Chapter 1205: Family Gathering

Night.

Old Yang’s apartment.

Ding dong… ding dong…

Xie Huilan went to open the door. Qu Yunxuan stood outside in her working attire, carrying Qu Qian.

“You are here.” Xie Huilan smiled.

Qu Yunxuan smiled and nodded. “I just finished work. Sorry to keep you all waiting.”

Xie Huilan smiled and teased the baby. “Did you miss your Godmother?”

Little Qianqian made some noises and tried to grab Xie Huilan’s hand with her tiny hand.

“Ah, you want to scratch me.” Xie Huilan laughed and kissed her. She carried Qianqian. “Let me carry you.”

Qu Yunxuan entered the apartment. “Mum, Uncle Yang.”

Luan Xiaoping said. “Wash your hands, and we will start dinner.”

Yang Zhaode laughed. “I will cook now. Stay here and have a chat.”

Qu Yunxuan said. “Let me do it, Uncle Yang.”

“It’s fine. All the ingredients are ready. I only have to cook it.” Yang Zhaode said and entered the kitchen.

Dong Xuebing looked at Aunt Xuan. They had not met for over a month, and he missed her. He felt she had become more graceful. Maybe it is because she was working as a news anchor at the TV station.

“Aunt Xuan.” Dong Xuebing walked over.

Qu Yunxuan looked at him. “You are back.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes.”

“How bad is your injury?” Qu Yunxuan looked at his body and reached out to touch him.

Dong Xuebing quickly stop her. “There’s nothing to see. I am fine.”

Qu Yunxuan gave him a stare. “Why are you in a cast when you are fine? Show me.”

Dong Xuebing had no choice but to let Qu Yunxuan lift his clothes.

Qu Yunxuan’s eyes turned red after a while. “Why are you injured so badly? There will be a scar.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I am fine. These injuries are nothing.”

Qu Yunxuan said angrily. “Stop doing these. I am scared to death.”

Qu Yunxuan scolded Dong Xuebing for five minutes. He knows she was worried for him, and he did not retort.

A few minutes later.

Yang Zhaode came out from the kitchen. “Haha… dinner is ready.”

Luan Xiaoping and Qu Yunxuan entered the kitchen to bring out the dishes.

Dong Xuebing took this opportunity to go to Xie Huilan. He looked at her playing with Little Qianqian. “Huilan.”

Xie Huilan continued playing with Qianqian and replied without looking at him. “What?”

Dong Xuebing rubbed his hand. “Err… let me carry her for a while.”

Xie Huilan smiled. “Take your dinner first. I will let you carry her after dinner.”

Dong Xuebing protested. “Let me carry her for a while now. Please.”

“Look at you. Haha….” Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing and placed Little Qianqian into his hands.

Dong Xuebing carried his daughter carefully and kissed her. “You had grown bigger and cuter. Haha…”

Little Qianqian looked at Dong Xuebing without moving.

Dong Xuebing felt hurt. “Did you forget Daddy?”

Little Qianqian reached out and scratched Dong Xuebing’s face. She giggled and started waving her arms.

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Here, Daddy will carry you up high.”

Dong Xuebing carried Qianqian above his head.

Little Qianqian is drooling from her excitement.

Dong Xuebing carried her above his head and ran around the house. “Fly… fly….”

Little Qianqian was screaming in joy.

Xie Huilan said. “Stop that. You might drop her.”

“I won’t.” Dong Xuebing said.

Luan Xiaoping came out of the kitchen and saw what happened. “Stop it! What are you going?”

Dong Xuebing was injured, and he was limping as he ran around. His left hand is in a cast, and he is carrying Little Qianqian above his head. It was scary, but he will not drop her.

“This brat…”

“Stop running and have dinner.”

“Xiao Bing! Stop!”

Dong Xuebing played with his daughter for a while and kissed her on her forehead. He handed her to his mother reluctantly. “I am playing with my daughter.”

Luan Xiaoping scolded Dong Xuebing. “Get better first. I will beat you to death if you drop my granddaughter.”

Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes.

Little Qianqian held a higher status than Dong Xuebing in the family.

At the dining table.

Xie Huilan looked at Qu Yunxuan. “Are you busy recently?”

Qu Yunxuan put a piece of meat into Dong Xuebing’s bowl and nodded. “It is busy at the TV station, and we don’t have regular working hours. We must go out to record news in the middle of the night. Haha… but it’s good to be busy. Thanks to Uncle Yang’s help, my job at the TV station is stable.”

Dong Xuebing said. “You will be fine with your abilities.”

Yang Zhaode added. “The Provincial TV station tried to poach Yunxuan a few days ago.”

“Really? But you should not go. You are unfamiliar and have to start again in a new environment.” Dong Xuebing said.

“I know. I disagreed.” Qu Yunxuan placed food into Xie Huilan’s bowl. “You are pregnant and should eat more meat. You must be busy too.”

Xie Huilan smiled. “It is fine. There are no major events after Xiao Bing left.”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “Are you implying that I created all those major events in the City?”

Yang Zhaode laughed. “She is telling the truth.”

Dong Xuebing protested. “You are poking fun at me, Uncle Yang.”

Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. “Nothing major happened when you were around. But whatever incidents you are involved in will become major. Just think about it. Which incident did not blow up after you got involved? You are the God of Plagues. Troubles follow you wherever you go. Haha….”

Dong Xuebing: “……”

Everyone laughed.

It was a long dinner. They had not seen each other and had much to discuss.

The sky turned dark, and the dinner lasted after 8 pm.

“Ah, it is almost 9 pm.”

“Are you all done? I will do the dishes.”

“Let me do it.”

“I will do it.”

They cleared the dishes after dinner.

Dong Xuebing did not get to do the dishes as he was still injured. The rest do not allow him to do any work. He went to the crib in the living room and looked at his daughter. She woke up and was staring at the ceiling. He carried and kissed her and started playing with her again.

“Let’s fly!”

“Daddy will let you fly!”

“Haha…. did you miss me?”

Dong Xuebing was excited in the apartment.

Little Qianqian was tired, but Dong Xuebing was still excited. He carried her around the house.

Suddenly, Little Qianqian burst out crying, frightening Dong Xuebing.

“What’s wrong, my baby? Stop crying. Daddy will show you a funny face. Stop crying.”

Little Qianqian continued crying.

Dong Xuebing quickly looked for his mother and the rest. “Mum, help me quick.”

Luan Xiaoping gave her son a stare and carried Little Qianqian. She cuddled her for a while, and she fell asleep. Luan Xiaoping placed her into the crib lightly.

Qu Yunxuan laughed. “She is tired. She sleeps around this time every day.”

Dong Xuebing was embarrassed. “Tell me earlier.”

Luan Xiaoping looked at Dong Xuebing. “You are her father and should know about this.”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and quickly changed the topic. “Err… it is late. We should go back now.”

Yang Zhaode said. “How about you all stay over tonight? You all got to drive at least an hour to Fen Zhou City, and it is dark now.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “No… We will go back and will visit tomorrow if we got time.”

Dong Xuebing had held back for several days, especially after Jiang Fangfang’s ‘torture.’ He wants some private time with Huilan. It is not convenient at this place.

Downstairs.

Luan Xiaoping walked them to their cars and went back.

Little Qianqian was left at Luan Xiaoping’s place. Luan Xiaoping cared for her these days as Qu Yunxuan got to work.

Xie Huilan asked. “Did you drive, Yunxuan?”

Qu Yunxuan smiled. “No. I sent my car for servicing.”

Xie Huilan opened the door of her black Porsche. “Let’s go. I will send you back first.”

Qqyx got into the car and said. “How about staying at my place tonight? The TV station gave me my apartment recently.”

Xie Huilan smiled. “Will it be convenient?”

Qu Yunxuan replied. “It is fine.”

Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing. “What do you say?”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Err… ok.”

“Haha…” Xie Huilan laughed. “I got a stomach, and I am lazy to drive back. Sorry to bother you.”

“Don’t mention it.” Qu Yunxuan replied. “Let me driver.”

Dong Xuebing seemed to be distracted as the car moved off.

Staying at Aunt Xuan’s place?

Huh? Then tonight…
