C34 On the Road

"Such a good kid," Angelica rubbed his head, then said, "I'm already sweating, do you want to take a break?"

Jing didn't reply. He just looked at Chi Qingyu. The hope in her eyes was something that Chi Qingyu couldn't ignore even if she wanted to.

"Mommy, can I take a break?"

Chi Qingyu glanced at him and nodded.

Asking her in front of others, wasn't it because he thought that she wouldn't reject him? That little fellow was getting smarter and smarter.

With Chi Qingyu's consent, Jing stood up, feigning weakness as he walked to the chair beside Xie Qirann and sat down, "Dad, why are you here?"

Chi Qingyu: "…"

She suddenly remembered that there was something very important that she had overlooked.

Jing called Xie Qirann's stepfather? More importantly, Xie Qirann was looking at Jing lovingly and touching his forehead that was drenched in sweat.

So this was a tacit agreement?

Chi Qingyu frowned and looked at Jing, "Jing, has Mommy ever taught you not to shout?"

Hearing that, Jing looked innocently at Chi Qingyu, "I didn't yell that. It's not like the stepfather is my biological father. Mommy, didn't you yell every day to find a stepfather for me?"

Chi Qingyu: "…"

She was just bored and had teased him about her stepfather's topic. How could he remember her so clearly?

"You're not allowed to call me stepdad in the future, call me big brother!" Chi Qingyu didn't care about anything else and insisted on Jing.

However, Jing didn't listen to her. Instead, he looked at her disapprovingly, "Mommy said that people can't go back on their word. I've already spoken to the stepfather, so of course I can't go back on my word."

It was indeed Chi Qingyu who had taught him to keep his promises, but she had not taught him that.

Jing couldn't explain it, so Chi Qingyu looked at Xie Qirann, "Young Master Xie, do you know what the stepfather means?"

Xie Qirann smiled faintly, "I know a little about it."

Seeing that he was so calm, Chi Qingyu concluded that he didn't know anymore, so she explained: "The stepfather is our nickname, if it's an official phrase, it means stepfather. Do you understand Young Master Xie?"

Xie Qirann wasn't surprised, he still maintained his smile and nodded, "Understood."

This time, Chi Qingyu believed that he understood. Since he understood, why should he agree? Could it be …

Chi Qingyu shook her head and threw away those unbelievable thoughts in her mind. It was probably because he thought Jing was fun and wanted to pick up a cheap son.

"Young Master Xie, I feel like this isn't appropriate, right?" Chi Qingyu expressed her thoughts in a tactful manner.

Xie Qirann glanced at her, then picked up Jing and put him in his arms.

"What's wrong with Doctor Chi?" I like Jing a lot, I want to acknowledge him as my foster son. Since Jing is used to your yelling, then just let him be. "

Wasn't it supposed to be with her mother that she would adopt her own child as an adopted son? Chi Qingyu frowned, seriously considering whether her mother had been too neglected.

Xie Qirann seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and said, "I will never treat my own people badly. Since Jing is my foster son, there must be some good stuff in store. I once had a thousand year old Lingzhi, if Doctor Chi doesn't mind, I will take it as a gift from Jing as my foster son."

A thousand year lingzhi?

Chi Qingyu was stunned. She had been here for four years and knew how precious the thousand year-old lingzhi was. Not only was it used as a tonic, but it was also used as a medicinal ingredient.

Chi Qingyu slammed the table and said, "Alright! Jing, you can call Young Master Xie your godfather from now on! Do you understand? "

Angelica, "..."

Jing nodded obediently. He looked at Xie Qirann and shouted sweetly, "Godfather!"

Xie Qirann smiled and touched his head, agreeing with the shout.

Up till now, he had become the little overlord of Xie Mansion, and there were all sorts of things to eat and drink. The key thing was that no one dared to bother him, and there were only two people who could control him: one was Chi Qingyu, who ran out every day to take care of the patient, and the other was Xie Qirann. No matter what others said, Xie Qirann would only have one word — follow him.

Thus, all the servants of the entire Xie Mansion would choose to retreat whenever they heard Jing's name.

After a few days, Xie Mansion welcoming a stranger, that person stayed in Xie Qirann's room for two hours, then quickly left.

That night, when Chi Qingyu returned home, she found her servants in a hurry.

"What is he busy with?" Chi Qingyu met Dang Gui in the courtyard and held him back, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter.

Dang Gui held a jar in his hands. It was unknown what was in it, but he held it with both hands. It was extremely precious. "Everyone is busy packing!"

Pack up? Chi Qingyu's eyes flashed. "Are they entering the capital?"

Dang Gui nodded and walked around Chi Qingyu, saying urgently, "Doctor Chi, hurry up and pack up. We're leaving tomorrow morning."

Chi Qingyu, who had been waiting to enter the capital for a long time, couldn't contain her joy when she heard this news. She happily ran back to the yard and packed everything up in one go.

After cleaning up, he found that Jing was not in the yard again. It was probably over at Xie Qirann's place.

After a period of observation, Chi Qingyu found out that Xie Qirann really liked Jing. He was always accommodating to everything. Of course, when it came to principles, Xie Qirann was still very strict. It was because of this that Chi Qingyu was able to let Jing stay with him without worries.

Later on, Jing came back with a pile of food. Chi Qingyu had collected all of his food mercilessly and packed them all up, leaving everything for him to eat on the way back.

They slept early that night.

The next day, Chi Qingyu was woken up by the sound of knocking at the door when the sky started to brighten.

The one who knocked on the door was Maidservant, who was in Xie Qirann's room. She came over to inform Chi Qingyu and the others that they were leaving. At the same time, she brought a servant to help Chi Qingyu carry her bag.

With someone helping to carry the bag, Chi Qingyu carried Jing, who was still in a deep sleep, out the door.

A row of carriages was waiting outside the Xie Mansion gate. The most beautiful one was the one at the front, Chi Qingyu guessed that it was Xie Qirann, so she carried Jing and tried to get into the carriage behind.

However, the person holding her bag stopped her, "Doctor Chi, the carriage between you and Young Master Jing is in front."

Chi Qingyu looked in the direction he was pointing. It was the lead carriage.

"Are you kidding?" Chi Qingyu asked the servant in surprise.

The servant was probably amused by the expression on Chi Qingyu's face and said with a smile: "Doctor Chi must be joking, how dare I joke with you, this way please."

Under the guidance of the servant, Chi Qingyu held Jing and stood beside the luxurious carriage. However, she did not take the next step.

When the servant saw that she did not move, he wanted to urge her on, but he saw the curtain of the carriage being pushed aside.

Chi Qingyu first saw a slender hand, then Xie Qirann's jade-like face. He bent his body and stretched out his hands, "Let me carry him."
