1199 There Was Something Hidden In That Child’s Eyes

Jia Qiulian gently bit his lips and whispered, “Cihui, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will never do anything that would let you down!”

Han Cihui chuckled softly. As if the knot in his heart had suddenly loosened, he gently stroked Jia Qiulian’s hair. “Silly girl!”

Jia Qiulian did feel stupid. If she hadn’t been so stupid, would what happened last night have happened?

She didn’t try to explain but only smiled. Then she pushed open the car door and looked at Han Cihui again before getting out.

Han Cihui didn’t drive away in a hurry. Instead, he watched Jia Qiulian’s figure through the windshield.

She was standing in the sunlight. The golden rays of the sun seemed to cover her entire body with a golden layer. Her slender and graceful appearance was really very appealing to the eye.

Han Cihui felt that no matter how many times he looked at her, it was still not enough.

Jia Qiulian knew that Han Cihui was watching her, but she didn’t turn to look at him. She just smiled softly to herself. She really enjoyed the feeling of Han Cihui looking at her. It was as if wherever she was, there must be a pair of eyes following her.

Whether she felt lost or desolate, she could count on this pair of eyes to find the haven of her heart.

.....

After standing there for about 10 minutes, the butler finally arrived in a baggy car.

Jia Qiulian waved at Han Cihui with a sweet smile. “Hurry up and go to work. If you’re any late, brother-in-law will deduct your salary!”

“Nope!” Han Cihui chuckled, “He wouldn’t do that to me.”

Even though he said that, he still started the engine and watched Jia Qiulian get into the car before driving off.

Liang Zixuan was holding Han Yingzhe as she told the servants what to prepare for dinner.

Sensing that Liang Zixuan might have something to say to Jia Qiulian, Tian Qihua said, “Zixuan, you don’t need to worry about this. Your father and I are still here and we can help you. If you feel uncomfortable carrying Yingzhe when Qiulian comes later, you can give the child to us or let the babysitters take him.”

“No need.”

Han Yingzhe was already one year old and weighed more than 20 cats. However, Liang Zixuan didn’t feel tired at all while she was carrying him. She gently shook the child’s hand and said, “I can carry him. Mom, I will have to trouble you and dad to settle this for me. Maybe later I’ll take Qiulian for a walk in the garden.”

“Go.” Just as Tian Qihua finished speaking, Jia Qiulian entered the living room. She greeted them politely, “Uncle, auntie, sister-in-law.”

“Good girl!” Tian Qihua looked at Jia Qiulian with a beaming smile. “After becoming a celebrity, you look completely different. You’re much prettier than before and look much more energetic!”

Jia Qiulian frowned and said unhappily. “Auntie, are you saying that I was never beautiful before and lacked enthusiasm?”

“Haha...No!” Tian Qihua knew that Jia Qiulian wasn’t really angry, but just joking with her. She winked at Han Qingsheng, “Your uncle and I have a lot of work to do. Zixuan will be with you. Qiulian, please don’t mind my words. I’m just praising you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I know.”

Jia Qiulian walked toward Liang Zixuan with her hands clasped behind her back. Seeing Han Yingzhe’s pouting face, she could not help but pinch his cheek. “Aiyo, the older you get, the more handsome you become. More handsome than your father.”

It was unknown whether Han Yingzhe really understood her or not, but he began to giggle. His big eyes were round and smooth like water. The way he laughed seemed to cure her spirits.

Jia Qiulian suddenly felt better. She held out her hands to Han Yingzhe. “Sister-in-law, can I carry him?”

Jia Qiulian had already come to the house a few times, so Han Yingzhe recognized her immediately.

When he saw her reach out her hands to him, he hurriedly stretched out his hands and said in his small voice, “Bao, bao...”

“Aiya!” Jia Qiulian hugged Han Yingzhe and smiled at Liang Zixuan in amazement. “Sister-in-law, does Yingzhe already know how to talk? It sounded like he wanted me to hug him!”

Liang Zixuan became happier. She grabbed Han Yingzhe’s small hand and shook it. “Honey, call mommy again.”

“M..Mmomma...”

“Hahaha...” Jia Qiulian and Liang Zixuan laughed at the same time. The way this little one was talking was really interesting!

After playing with the child for a while, Liang Zixuan noticed that the weather was not bad. Although it was cold outside, the sun had risen. So she said, “Qiulian, how about we go out with Yingzhe to bask in the sun? The doctor says the child’s health will be better if he bathes in the sun.”

“Of course!” Jia Qiulian carried Han Yingzhe and did not give the child to Liang Zixuan. She just followed her out of the villa.

Tian Qihua watched them and said to Han Qingsheng. “Look how young they are. They can talk and laugh at will as if they have no problem at all.”

“How do you know they have no problems?” Han Qingsheng pulled Tian Qihua into his arms and whispered in her ear, “When Jia Qiulian came in just now, I could clearly see that there was something hidden in that child’s eyes!”

“Is that so?”

Tian Qihua did not question Han Qingsheng’s words. She knew that he was very good at reading people, but... could Jia Qiulian really tell Liang Zixuan what she was hiding?

Tian Qihua was worried, and Liang Zixuan and Jia Qiulian, who were walking on the garden’s path, also started their conversation.

“Qiulian, there’s something I’m not sure whether to ask you or not. Since last night, I’ve been feeling conflicted, feeling uncomfortable with this pressure. Even if I ask you, you have the freedom not to answer.”

“Sister-in-law, I know what you want to ask.”

“?Don’t even mention it, even Cihui is also very conflicted. Last night after coming back, he was very awkward with me and didn’t say a word. I know he couldn’t endure it, but he was afraid that I would be embarrassed and unhappy, so he didn’t ask.”

Liang Zixuan cast a glance at Jia Qiulian. Knowing the uneasiness in her heart, she smiled. “So... if you don’t want to tell me, you can either.”
