C29 My Stepfather

Xie Qirann carried Jing and asked with a smile, "So, if I'm not good-looking, you don't want me as your father?"

He was just joking, he didn't expect Jing to think about it seriously. If the result was certain, Xie Qirann thought it was like lifting a rock to smash his own foot.

Fortunately, Jing was quite smart and didn't directly say, "No, I'm so handsome, my dad would definitely be good too."

He said his dad wouldn't be bad. In other words, if Xie Qirann was too bad, he wouldn't be his dad.

This clever little guy, Xie Qirann poked his forehead, then looked at him lovingly, "Such a young age, so smooth and round. What can I do in the future!?"

When Jing heard the word "round", he immediately looked down at his belly and said aggrievedly: "Big Brother, you're bad. You just said I'm not round, that's just right. Now you're saying I'm fat while carrying Mommy!"

Seeing his aggrieved look, Xie Qirann didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I didn't say you're fat, I was just praising your intelligence."

Jing's eyes were filled with tears as he stared at him, "Really?"

Xie Qirann nodded, "Of course it's true."

The next moment, Jing burst out laughing, jumped off Xie Qirann's body, and walked out while jumping around.

"Where's Jing going?" Xie Qirann asked.

Jing turned around and gave him a look, "I wasn't full just now. I'm going to the kitchen to find something to eat."

Thanks to the ruckus he caused in the kitchen a few days ago, he had now become a celebrity in the kitchen. The servants knew that Xie Qirann held Jing in high regard, so they all tried to curry favor with him. Thus, in the entire Xie Mansion, other than Xie Qirann, Jing's favorite place to go right now was the kitchen.

Xie Qirann looked at his arms and legs, he ran quite fast. When he ran away, Xie Qirann didn't chase after him anymore and just let him run away. In any case, no one in the mansion dared to hurt him.

Not long after Jing left, Han Jiu landed at the door of the room.

Xie Qirann was not surprised by his appearance, "How was the investigation?"

Han Jiu took out a piece of paper from his chest and respectfully presented it to Xie Qirann.

Xie Qirann took it and casually glanced at it. The contents on the paper were pretty much what he thought it would be. The him from that night was indeed dragged in by authority. However, due to some coincidence, he had barged into someone else's house.

"Have you found out who this house belongs to?" Xie Qirann closed the paper.

"Master, this is the new top scholar — Luo Yunshu's house." Han Jiu replied.

Luo Yunshu?

Xie Qirann recalled that there was indeed such a person in the capital. He heard them say that he was a courteous and elegant young master who was friendly with others, but Xie Qirann had never seen him in person.

"What's the relationship between this woman and Luo Yunshu?" Xie Qirann asked Han Jiu.

Han Jiu was silent for a moment, and did not answer his question immediately, "She is Luo Yunshu's wife..."

"Wife?" Xie Qirann frowned, "Are you sure it's that woman?"

Han Jiu nodded, "Your subordinate has confirmed that other than that woman, there was no one else in the courtyard that night. "Luo Yunshu doesn't like this wife, and everyone knows about Luo Mansion. Even the servants of Luo Mansion don't have a good attitude towards her, and normally there aren't many servants in the courtyard, she's the only one."

Hearing the words' wife ', Xie Qirann touched his forehead helplessly. He hesitated when he heard his own voice, "…" Is she Doctor Chi? "

Han Jiu shook his head and said, "My lady passed away five years ago. Luo Yunshu gave her a burial himself, but at that time, the family was very low-key, so outsiders rarely knew about it. They all thought that Lord Luo's wife was the one that gave him the burial."

Dead? Doesn't that mean that Jing …

Han Jiu couldn't help but interrupt his master when he saw him deep in thought, "Mistress, do you still want to check?"

Hearing that, Xie Qirann retracted his thoughts and looked at him blandly. He said, "Go and check on Doctor Chi's background."

"Yes." Han Jiu agreed.

According to Han Jiu's investigation, the woman should be dead. But when Xie Qirann thought of Jing, he felt that this matter should not be so simple, so he let Han Jiu continue his investigation.

After Han Jiu left, Xie Qirann stood up and prepared to go see how that little fellow Jing was. He had never been afraid of eating it. If he ate until his stomach was broken, Chi Qingyu would probably make a move.

Xie Qirann had never been to the kitchen before, so he still had to ask his Dark Guard to give him directions when he was halfway there. After a few rounds, he arrived outside the kitchen. Before he entered, he heard Jing's laughter.

"I already said you don't have me!" Fast! "I admit defeat!" A piercing sound came from the courtyard.

Hearing the word bet, Xie Qirann sped up and with a few flashes, he entered the yard.

The kitchen was quite big. Jing was sitting in the room with the seat facing the door. The moment Xie Qirann entered the yard, he saw him swinging his legs proudly.

The person sitting opposite of Jing was also someone that Xie Qirann was familiar with — Angelica.

Dang Gui looked at the bowl in front of him with a dejected expression. No one knew what he was thinking about.

"Jing." Xie Qirann walked over and asked what he had just said, "What do you mean by bet or lose?"

Hearing Xie Qirann's voice, Jing turned around and saw him. He stopped and got down from the chair, "Dad! "Why are you here?"

After hearing that, Xie Qirann was stunned. Then he remembered what he said before and remembered in a daze that it was his dad's idea.

Xie Qirann caught up with Jing and touched his belly. It was plump and seemed like he had eaten a lot. "Are you full?"

Jing nodded, pointed at the big bowl on the table and boasted, "Look, that's my result. Uncle said I can't finish it, so he looked down on me!"

Hearing this, Xie Qirann looked towards the Angelica.

Dang Gui could clearly see the murderous intent in his master's eyes. He hurriedly stood up and explained: "I didn't say that you can't finish it, I said that you have to eat less. Look at you, you've only been here for a few days and you've already gained weight."

The word "fat" was forbidden to Jing. When he heard the word "fat", Jing exploded. He grunted and turned his head away, no longer looking at him.

He looked at Xie Qirann and asked him with his eyes, "What does that mean?"

Xie Qirann glanced at him expressionlessly.

Killing intent!

Dang Gui took a step back and felt Xie Qirann's sharp eyes scraping over his body again and again.

"Did I say something wrong?" Dang Gui asked carefully.

Jing ignored him, and it was impossible for Xie Qirann to spend time to explain it to him.

"Dad, let's go out and play! I want to eat candied fruits! " Jing ignored the Angelica and looked at Xie Qirann in a fawning manner.

Xie Qirann nodded, turned around and walked away with Jing in his arms.

They turned around and found Chi Qingyu standing in the yard, looking at Jing with a serious expression.

"Jing, what did you just call him?"
