Chapter 455
"Third Master, the Mistress is not at home. The Mistress took Young Master out two days ago, and they still haven't returned today."
When Qin Hanyue received the news, he was on the plane heading back to the capital city. After seeing the message, without even leaving the airport after the plane landed, he immediately got on another plane to go look for them.
M Continent,
Headquarters of God's Armed Forces.
In the first floor lobby, the Little One sat nicely on the sofa. The TV was on but he wasn't watching it. He lowered his head and busily fiddled with the thing in his hands. Looking closely, it turned out to be a new model handgun - of course with no bullets inside.
The Little One was carefully studying the object in his hands. Soon, a tall, dignified, and imposing man hurried in.
The Little One lifted his fair little face to look. His features were exactly like Qin Hanyue's, and he looked exactly like little Qin Hanyue. Those black eyes were completely identical.
The Little One recognized the man. He climbed down from the sofa with his little short legs and walked over to the man, "Dad."
The Little One was still two months shy of turning two. His words were unclear and his voice was soft and tender. His steps were also not very steady.
Qin Hanyue looked over, "Hmm, where's Mom?"
The Little One turned his head and pointed upstairs with his little hand. Before he could walk over, his ruthless dad swept past him and headed for the stairs.
Back when Qiao Ying first got pregnant, Qin Hanyue was both startled and overjoyed, full of anticipation as he waited the nine months. But in the end, instead of the darling daughter he had been wishing for day and night, it was a boy.
Qin Hanyue went upstairs, only to find the Little One still standing in place, craning his little neck to stare at him longingly with his big, clean, and clear eyes. The little guy just stood there like that, looking at him.
Seeing that he had turned back, the Little One then walked over to him.
Qin Hanyue had no choice but to go back down and pick up the Little One, "Why did An'an come here with Mom without telling Dad first?"
The Little One's nickname was An'an and his full name was Qin Li'an, given by Qin Hanyue. Qiao Ying quite approved.
The Little One moved his little mouth slightly, "Mom said."
Qin Hanyue, "Mom didn't tell Dad."
The Little One was silent.
Qin Hanyue, "Next time if Mom takes An'an out on a long trip again, remember to tell Dad, okay?"
The Little One looked at him without making a sound.
Qin Hanyue looked at him and couldn't help thinking: Was he hesitating or considering it? He's so young but already has this level of thinking ability?
After thinking for a while, the Little One gave him the same response, "Mom said."
Qin Hanyue was moved by his filial piety, "Not caring if Dad feels abandoned, only afraid of upsetting Mom, right?"
The Little One tried to explain or comfort him, but in the end felt helpless due to his underdeveloped language abilities.
Qin Hanyue didn't want to make things difficult for a toddler over one year old either. Carrying his son, he went to the room to look for Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying had just practiced with Sack and the others, worked up a sweat, and was washing her hair in the bathroom.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the father and son standing at the bathroom entrance. One big, one small, sharing one face. Even their expressions were similar.
The genes were perfectly expressed. This made Qiao Ying, who had always held Qin Hanyue's face in special regard, very satisfied.
In his tender voice, the Little One called out, "Mom."
Qiao Ying, "Be good."
Qiao Ying was drying her dripping wet long hair. She walked past the two of them and casually asked, "Weren't you coming back tomorrow?"
Qin Hanyue had been away on a business trip for half a month.
Qin Hanyue, "I compressed my work schedule and came back two days early. But when I was still on the plane, I was informed that my wife and child had gone missing. I didn't even have a chance to go home."
Qiao Ying looked at him amusedly, "What did your son say to you as soon as you met?"
Qin Hanyue, "He didn't say much. He's still so little but already knows to cherish you. Of course I'm happy in my heart."
Qiao Ying, "Happy? Doesn't seem like it."
Qin Hanyue, "I'm a little hurt."
Qin Hanyue stopped drying her hair and asked her, "Should I wash up and blow dry your hair for you later?"
Qiao Ying, "Go wash up yourself. I'll do it myself later."
Qin Hanyue, "I meant for you."
But Qiao Ying pulled her to the bathroom, "Your hair is already washed. Let's just bathe together. It's a good chance since we're both here anyway."
Qiao Ying stopped walking and raised her brows at him, "Do you still have the energy?"
Qin Hanyue, "Of course I do, but it's true that I haven't slept in three days. I do need to rest. So don't worry, we won't do anything else. Really just washing up together."
After not seeing each other for half a month, although they video called every day, Qin Hanyue still missed her terribly.
Qiao Ying was pulled into the bathroom by him...
Downstairs,
Bardman lifted the Little One onto his neck and brought him out for a stroll.
He came back drenched in sweat and dirty all over.
Qiao Ying was holding the Little One to give him a wash.
Midway, Qin Hanyue came over.
Qiao Ying, "You're awake already?"
"Slept for a bit, feel much better. I'll sleep again at night." Qin Hanyue walked over, lowered his head to give Qiao Ying a peck on her head, and rolled up his sleeves. "Let me wash him - if I'm not around next time and there are no servants, just call someone over casually to wash him."
Qiao Ying, "Don't tell me you're jealous of your own son?"
Qin Hanyue, "It's not that bad, just don't want you to get tired."
The Little One felt that he was totally jealous. So after washing up and getting dressed, the Little One proactively stretched out his little arms wanting his mom to carry him, but was ruthlessly blocked by his dad, "Let Dad carry you. Mom is a girl and doesn't have as much strength. She can't carry you."
The Little One looked at Dad, then looked at Mom. Wanting to get closer to Mom after seeing Dad kiss Mom earlier, the Little One mustered his courage, "Mom, kiss."
"Dad kiss." Qin Hanyue jumped in before Qiao Ying. He kissed his son's little face perfunctorily and emotionlessly, telling him, "Mom is a girl. No intimate contact between men and women. She can only kiss Dad because Dad is legitimate."
The Little One, "...Mom."
Qiao Ying walked away with her hands in her pockets, not participating between the two.
Qin Hanyue, who had just returned from his business trip, brought gifts for the two.
The Little One held the mini keyboard he didn't know how to play with, and looked back and forth between it and the fancy and cool keyboard Mom got.
When he noticed Qin Hanyue looking over, the well-mannered Little One said politely, "Thank you Dad."
Qin Hanyue, "You're welcome."
Qiao Ying, "His is quite cute."
Qin Hanyue, "It was a free gift. I rushed back so next time I'll get him something else. If you like it, I can ask for it back from him."
Qiao Ying, "You dad..."
Qin Hanyue, "It was unexpected this time."
As soon as the Little One heard that Mom liked it, he took the initiative to hand it over with both hands, "For Mom."
Qiao Ying, "You play with it."
But Qin Hanyue said, "Dad also prepared a gift for Mom. Does An'an want to see it together?"
The obedient Little One nodded, "Okay."
Qin Hanyue picked him up and held Qiao Ying's hand, "Let's go."
In M Continent, a place suffused with a brutal aura, it was rare to see fireworks, although they were not prohibited.
But in the past two years, it was not difficult to see them, all masterpieces courtesy of God's Army.
Every time the people of M Continent saw them, they wondered and were puzzled by what God's Army was up to.
Tonight, another spectacular fireworks show arrived.
On M Continent, every fireworks display was more spectacular than the one on New Year's Eve in C Country. These fireworks didn't have any particular meaning, nor were they set off on any special day. Qiao Ying simply enjoyed watching them, so whenever she came, Qin Hanyue would set them off for her. Since she didn't come often, he'd set them off once whenever she did come.
Later, people from M Continent heard gossip that these fireworks were being set off by the Leader of God's Arms for the Leader of Black Water to see... Recalling how the God's Army headquarters had once exploded and shocked the entire M Continent, now the Leader of God's Arms was setting off fireworks to court the new Leader of Black Water--such a chaotic turn of relationships! Rumor even had it that they already had a son together.
Note: That's all for this extra! The little one Qin Li'an's name comes from the slum boy Adrian~
