Qin Xiao nodded upon hearing this, "Are you hosting the charity auction again this ti?
During this half month, can you leave?"
Qin Zilong nodded, "Yes, this auction is an internal auction, and I generally host it.
During this half month, I can indeed leave, as there are people in charge of each departnt within the villa, so I don’t need to oversee everything.
I just need to rush back on the day of the auction.
Second Master, do you have sothing else you need to do?"
Qin Xiao nodded, "I want you to make a trip to C City to investigate so people; their activities are particularly important to .
You are the most ticulous when it cos to investigations, and I want you to personally take charge in C City.
Will half a month be enough for the investigation?"
After Qin Xiao finished speaking, Feng Ye handed the docunt folder he was holding to Qin Zilong.
Qin Zilong took it, opened it, and began to read carefully. Being sent to investigate by Qin Xiao, these must be important people, and the folder contained the basic information of Xiao Zhengfang’s family.
The Qin Family also has a network in C City, with Qin Xiao assigning people specifically for this purpose.
Last ti, when Xiao Yan fled back to C City, it was the Qin Family’s people who found her.
Back then, Qin Xiao was unaware of the significant influence that Xiao Zhengfang’s family had on Xiao Li, so he had people search directly through the various local heads.
But now that he understood the importance of Xiao Zhengfang and others, how could he be at ease letting others investigate?
After going through it, Qin Zilong said, "Second Master, do you want these people investigated in detail?"
Qin Xiao said calmly, "As detailed as possible. Once their current activities are clear, have people keep an eye on them. I want to know their real-ti information."
Qin Zilong nodded, "Okay, I understand. But if the investigation needs to be detailed, half a month may not be enough to uncover everything. I will do my best to investigate, striving to find out as soon as possible.
If it’s not fully uncovered, I’ll return to continue the investigation after hosting the auction.
Second Master, should this investigation be kept confidential?"
Qin Xiao shook his head, "No need."
After saying that, Qin Xiao got up and left.
Qin Zilong was quite surprised to hear this. Since Qin Xiao was having him investigate personally, he thought it might be confidential. Last ti when investigating the Wen Family, it was kept confidential!
He assud this ti would be the sa!
Qin Xiao must have his reasons for not keeping it confidential. He was investigating Xiao Zhengfang for Xiao Li’s sake, not because Xiao Zhengfang and his family had anything to hide. Even if others found out about Xiao Zhengfang’s information, it wouldn’t matter.
With the Wen Family, it was because their affairs couldn’t be leaked, hence it was kept confidential.
After leaving Heshun Villa, Qin Xiao went to a flower shop, bought flowers, then got a cake before heading ho.
Upon returning ho, Aunt Wu saw Qin Xiao carrying flowers and a cake. Puzzled, she wondered if it was soone’s birthday today?
But no one in the family had a birthday this month!
The newborn young master did, but it wasn’t his birthday ti yet!
Aunt Wu thought and directly asked, "Second Master, is it soone’s birthday?"
Qin Xiao smiled, "No, I bought it for Nini."
Aunt Wu quickly said, "The young madam is still in confinent; she should eat less cake."
Qin Xiao nodded, "I know, I won’t let her eat too much."
After Qin Xiao finished speaking, he took the items upstairs. In the room, the nanny had just finished bathing the baby and changed him into clean clothes. Xiao Li was breastfeeding the baby at the mont.
After the baby finished nursing, he fell asleep. The nanny picked up the baby and put him in the crib to sleep. Seeing Qin Xiao had returned, the nanny nodded and left.
Having been at the Qin Family for a few days, the nanny already knew the temperant of the household. The male host preferred spending ti alone with the female host.
Once the nanny left, Qin Xiao brought the flowers and cake to the bedside, first handing the flowers to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li took the flowers, a bouquet of eustoma and baby’s breath, "Uncle, why are you giving flowers?"
Qin Xiao chuckled, "It’s because I give flowers so infrequently that you have to ask why when receiving one?
Hmm, I’ll have to give more in the future."
Saying this, Qin Xiao placed the cake on the room’s table. After unpacking it and placing a candle on the cake, Qin Xiao brought Xiao Li to the cake, "Nini, I should have prepared this on your first day back, but unfortunately, I didn’t know then. Now that I know, I must celebrate for you.
Nini, happy new life!
Wishing you happiness and health from now on!"
Xiao Li smiled and nodded, "Thank you! Uncle.
With you around, I am naturally happy and fulfilled.
This lifeti, I will surely live to a ripe old age with you, growing old together."
Qin Xiao smiled and nodded, "Make a wish!"
Xiao Li closed her eyes, silently made a wish, then opened her eyes and blew out the candle.
After blowing out the candle, Xiao Li held the flowers with one hand and embraced Qin Xiao with the other.
Qin Xiao embraced her, both resting their foreheads against each other, laughing joyfully—for Xiao Li’s newfound life and for their happiness in this life.
Qin Xiao stepped back a little, tucked her hair behind her ear, gently lifted her chin, and was about to kiss her when the door was suddenly opened.
Mianmian ran in like the wind, heading first towards the crib, but halfway down, she saw Qin Xiao and Xiao Li and instead ran towards her parents.
As Mianmian dashed in, Qin Xiao thought to himself, he should have locked the door.
Mianmian ran to Qin Xiao, wanting him to hold her, "Daddy, hug ..."
Qin Xiao could only let go of Xiao Li and pick up Mianmian. Xiao Li took a step back with the flowers, watching Qin Xiao hold Mianmian helplessly, and couldn’t help but laugh.
After being picked up by Qin Xiao, Mianmian saw the cake that Qin Xiao and Xiao Li had just blocked, "Cake...I want to eat..."
Mianmian exclaid, attempting to get down to eat the cake, so Qin Xiao quickly set her down but didn’t let her touch the cake, "Mianmian, this cake is for mommy, so you’ll have to wait until she cuts and shares it before you can eat."
Hearing this, Mianmian quickly looked at Xiao Li, "Mommy, cut the cake!"
Qin Xiao handed Xiao Li the cake-cutting knife, Xiao Li took it in one hand and made a gentle cut, leaving the rest for Qin Xiao to handle.
After cutting a piece for the impatient Mianmian, Qin Xiao then cut a small piece to feed Xiao Li, who had returned to the bed with the flowers and was placing the bouquet aside.
Qin Xiao brought the cake to the bedside, "Nini, let feed you."
Xiao Li laughed, "Let’s eat together."
Qin Xiao smiled and nodded. The two of them then fed each other, quickly finishing the not-so-large piece of cake within a few bites.
After finishing the cake, Qin Xiao just stood up to place the paper plate on the nightstand when he heard Xiao Li cry out, "Mianmian, no..."
As Xiao Li’s voice fell, she also jumped down from the bed and ran quickly toward Mianmian. When Qin Xiao turned his head, he saw Mianmian feeding the baby brother with cake.
Xiao Li ca over and pulled Mianmian away, while Qin Xiao ca over to look at the little one in the crib. Poor little one had his face sared with cake by his sister in his sleep...
