Chapter 856: 842, Gained some weight (4) Chapter 856: 842, Gained some weight (4) Hearing her crisp baby voice, Zhan Mingyan’s eyes crinkled with laughter, “Xiya, why don’t you lend me Maomao for a few days? She’s just too adorable.”

“Sure, I’d love to have someone help me with the kid. I couldn’t ask for more,” Xiya readily agreed.

“By the way, who was the person who just brought you back?”

“A friend,” Zhan Mingyan said.

Xiya chuckled mischievously, “A boyfriend is also a friend, right?”

“Don’t get the wrong idea, he’s just a friend,” Zhan Mingyan said with a mix of laughter and tears.

“Come on, I think that handsome guy is quite interested in you,” Xiya said.

Zhan Mingyan held her forehead, “…”

Nothing could escape her eye; she really felt defeated.

“What do you feel about him?” Xiya asked, her tone gossiping.

“Just friends,” Zhan Mingyan honestly said, “He has confessed his feelings to me before, and I rejected him. He brought it up again in the car just now, and I don’t even know how to respond.”

Xiya smiled knowingly and probed, “Do you still like Bai Jue?”

Zhan Mingyan lowered her head, neither admitting nor denying.

Without denial, Xiya took it as an admission and her lips curved slightly, “Mingyan, the world is so vast, there’s no need to hang yourself on one tree. Flirting with a handsome guy isn’t against the law.”

Bai Jue was the kind of person who deserved a little provocation, and she found the guy who had dropped her off just now quite suitable for stirring Bai Jue up.

“I’m too old for that; I can’t flirt anymore,” Zhan Mingyan said humorously.

“Pfft.” Xiya burst out laughing, “You haven’t even had a boyfriend, and you dare to call yourself old?”

“Maomao, let’s eat some cake,” Zhan Mingyan chuckled, watching Maomao drool with anticipation and started to unwrap the cake.

“Mhm,” Maomao’s eyes twinkled with laughter.

…

A cool breeze blew through, and the evening sun’s afterglow lay upon the surface of the Seine River, the night lights came on, faded and scattered, reflecting the entire city of Paris.

After a day of fun, Jian Qing was so tired she just collapsed on the bed as soon as she returned to the hotel, and was so weary that Quan Jingwu had to help her shower.

Snuggled in the blankets, she clutched her phone for a video call with the two little treasures, and from the other side, their laughter continuously streamed from the device.

“Seventeen, Nineteen, it’s time for bed. Mommy will talk to you more tomorrow.” Seeing Seventeen yawn, Jian Qing’s eyes twinkled with tenderness as she softly spoke.

“Little Qingqing, you guys go have fun without worries; I’ll take good care of Seventeen and the others,” Rhee said with a beaming smile.

Jian Qing hummed in acknowledgment, softly smiling, “Thanks, Mom. You’re working so hard.”

“You kid, what hard work are you talking about?” Rhee said, “I’m off to get Seventeen and the others to sleep now, we’ll talk more tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

After ending the video call, Quan Jingwu came out of the bathroom just in time.

He had a loosely tied towel around his waist, and his well-defined chest glistened with a seductive sheen. Jian Qing looked up just in time to see a gorgeous man fresh from the shower, and her face heated up.

What a heart-throbbing demon.

She picked up the robe from the bed and threw it at him, “We’ve got the air conditioning on, so hurry up and get dressed before you catch a cold.”

Quan Jingwu gave a lopsided smile, caught the robe but showed no intention of wearing it, casually tossed it onto the foot of the bed, then lifted the blankets and slipped in right beside her.

“Did you video call with Seventeen and the others?”

With a stretch of his strong arm, he pulled her into his embrace, and Jian Qing snuggled trustingly into his warm embrace, which felt like a cozy furnace.

“Mhm, the two little ones seem to have gotten a tad chubbier these last few days.” Remembering the aggrieved look in the little treasures’ eyes during the call, Jian Qing said with a chuckle.

Just a few days without seeing them, and she really missed the two little ones.

“Just now, the little ones were constantly babbling, trying to find you. Xiaojing, I miss them,” he said.
