"Sister Mi, you just handed Xuan Bao'er over like that??"
He Baibai looked surprised and a little displeased:
"That Li Qing was too much. He didn't even get out of the car and just took the child away. What was he thinking?"
Yang Mi watched the disappearing taillights, her heart a mix of emotions. After a moment, she said faintly:
"Maybe he wants to do a paternity test."
He Baibai grew even more indignant.
A big star brings her child to you, and you take advantage and still act high and mighty?
But then she thought,
That's right, he certainly wouldn't be careless about the child's matter.
"But... but this is too... it feels a bit condescending."
He Baibai felt a little wronged for Yang Mi.
Yang Mi also felt uncomfortable inside,
but she was clearly calmer than He Baibai. After taking a deep breath, she said:
"Alright, I was the one who brought the child to him. In a sense, I'm troubling him, right...?"
He Baibai was startled, then speechless with anger:
"Sister Mi, you've changed completely since you had a child!"
Is this still the aloof goddess, Sister Mi?
Yang Mi said nothing more, just walked towards the car:
"Alright, the company still has things to do, let's go back first."
"As for Xuan Bao'er, you'll have to keep an eye on her for me at all times."
On the way,
He Baibai drove, constantly discussing Li Qing.
"Sister Mi, I will observe him carefully during this time to see if he can be a qualified father."
He Baibai liked Xuan Bao'er very much and was as concerned about this matter as Yang Mi:
"Although Xuan Bao'er might feel a bit stifled with us, she hasn't suffered in terms of living standards. What I'm worried about is his source of income; that's a big problem."
Yang Mi also had this concern.
Xuan Bao'er's food and clothing at home, if not the best, were certainly top-notch.
Just food, drink, and entertainment could cost fifty to sixty thousand yuan a month,
which an ordinary family truly couldn't afford.
"But seeing that he has an assistant, perhaps his family also has a company."
Yang Mi analyzed, of course, perhaps more to comfort herself:
"Having a company in Shanghai, the income shouldn't be too bad."
He Baibai pouted:
"Looking at the car he drives, it doesn't seem that great. Although it looks high-end, a chevrolet suv like that probably only costs around four hundred thousand."
"And I've never seen a car like that before."
Facing He Baibai's incessant chatter,
Yang Mi waved her hand, feeling a little tired:
"Alright, drive carefully. I want to rest for a while."
....
Meanwhile, on the other side,
on the way back,
Li Qing sat in the back seat, holding Xuan Bao'er, staring at her wide-eyed.
To be honest, this was Li Qing's first time interacting with a child,
so he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
However, seeing Xuan Bao'er's cute and charming appearance,
even Li Qing felt a little touched!
Most importantly,
this child truly resembled him!
Combining this with his previous analysis of Yang Mi's motives,
Li Qing could conclude, and had a strong feeling, that Xuan Bao'er was his child!
Thinking of this,
Li Qing's mood couldn't help but become complex.
Happy, excited, nervous, helpless?
He couldn't quite articulate it,
but in all these years, Li Qing had never felt these emotions before.
"Are you Xuan Bao'er's Baba~"
Xuan Bao'er looked at the unfamiliar Li Qing, not resisting, but instead feeling a strange sense of closeness.
Li Qing revealed a gentle smile:
"How do you know I'm your Baba? Did your Mama tell you?"
Xuan Bao'er looked at Li Qing with her big eyes and said sweetly:
"Mama said she was bringing me to see Baba today. I heard that Uncle call you Mr. Li, and my Baba is called Li Qing, so I thought you were my Baba."
Hearing Xuan Bao'er's words,
Li Qing was slightly stunned.
Wang Mian, who was in front, chuckled:
"Qing Ge, the child is really smart. She's so sensible at such a young age."
Li Qing smiled dotingly:
"Hehe, Xuan Bao'er, do you know your full name?"
Hearing someone praise her intelligence,
Xuan Bao'er nodded happily and said:
"I know, Xuan Bao'er's full name is Li Xuan. Mama told me~"
Li Xuan?
Li Qing's eyes showed emotion.
Yang Mi had given birth to the child alone, yet she hadn't given the child her own surname, but rather his.
This was something Li Qing had not anticipated.
Looking at the child,
Li Qing inexplicably began to feel joyful, even faintly excited.
He was a Baba now!
"Wang Mian, after we go back, install a baby seat in the car. It must be custom-made by Baoli Group's military industry department."
Li Qing said, holding Xuan Bao'er:
"I want to personally inspect it."
Wang Mian's expression brightened; he was also highly motivated for this task:
"Okay, Qing Ge, I'll modify this car again when we get back."
Although this Chevrolet didn't look like a luxury car,
the entire vehicle was actually custom-made by Li Qing; there was only one of its kind on the market.
And with Baoli Group's modifications,
this car had bulletproof, anti-eavesdropping, and anti-mine functions,
and could generally withstand several rocket-propelled grenades head-on without issue.
Before Wang Mian could finish,
Li Qing spoke again:
"I'm not just talking about this car, but all of them."
Wang Mian was slightly stunned, then smiled:
"No problem."
Li Qing had over a hundred cars,
so Baoli Group had more work to do.
Li Qing continued to ponder.
He didn't even realize that from this moment on, his emotions were deeply influenced by Xuan Bao'er:
"Also, after the physical examination, the car must be equipped with corresponding medical facilities, including backup blood. All of Xuan Bao'er's travel configurations must be the same as mine."
Wang Mian nodded, his face serious:
"No problem. I think the Villa should also be renovated to be more convenient for the child."
As her Uncle,
he also cherished Xuan Bao'er like a precious treasure.
Wang Mian asked again:
"Um, are we still going to the small courtyard?"
Li Qing said:
"Let's go directly to Huazhou Jun Court."
Although the Huazhou Junting Villa had always been empty,
the servants had always been working,
so it was cleaned daily, furniture maintained, and so on.
"Xuan Bao'er, do you want to go see Baba's home?"
Li Qing looked at Xuan Bao'er with the benevolent expression of an old father.
"Thank you, Baba~"
Xuan Bao'er said this inexplicably.
Although Xuan Bao'er didn't understand much of what Li Qing had just said, she could feel that Baba seemed to be doing everything for her.
Looking at his daughter's adorable eyes,
Li Qing was slightly stunned, then smiled:
"Who taught you that?"
Xuan Bao'er said earnestly:
"Mama taught me that when someone gives you something, you should say thank you..."
Li Qing felt a pang of guilt.
This child was so sensible it was heartbreaking.
"Xuan Bao'er, Baba isn't 'someone else,' you don't need to say thank you."
Li Qing gently stroked her little head.
Soon,
the car drove into Huazhou Junting Villa!
Although it was a Villa area,
in the northern section,
there were no other residents.
The reason was simple: Li Qing liked peace and quiet, so he bought the entire area!
Looking at the large house,
Xuan Bao'er was awestruck.
She had originally thought Mama's house was already very big, since it took a while to walk from the living room to the bedroom,
but after arriving at Li Qing's Villa,
the little one was stunned.
"Baba, your house is so big!"
Li Qing smiled: "Does Xuan Bao'er like it?"
Xuan Bao'er nodded heavily:
"Xuan Bao'er likes it!"
Just then,
Wang Mian walked over and whispered:
"Qing Ge, the medical team is here. Let's take Xuan Bao'er for a physical examination first."
Li Qing nodded.
A physical examination for the child was necessary.
Any allergies or hidden illnesses needed to be found out in advance.
Although he knew Yang Mi would definitely have the child checked,
Li Qing trusted his own medical team more.
...
Half an hour later,
in the Villa living room, Li Qing looked at Xuan Bao'er's physical examination report; all indicators were normal!
In addition,
there was a paternity test report: DNA paternity probability 99.999%.
Looking at the report, Li Qing revealed a smile he had never shown before.
"Send a copy of the appraisal result to Yang Mi."
Li Qing said, sitting on the sofa. He had intended to light a cigarette, but seeing Xuan Bao'er coming from outside, he put it down.
