C191 I Slept too Early
Qin Jingzhi did not understand what he meant. "Didn't you sleep early? It would save you from affecting your relationship with Qiao An."
Huo Chengzhou looked out the window. There was a playful look in his eyes. "It is because I slept too early that it affects my relationship development."
Qin Jingzhi was speechless."
Huo Chengzhou did not intend to continue explaining. He only said, "Alright, you do what you need to do. Don't worry about this side. Yining is fine. I am fine too."
"Alright." Qin Jingzhi was indeed very busy. He also knew that Qin Yining would not suffer any grievances on Huo Chengzhou's side, so he did not ask any more questions.
...
Musical instrument store.
Ye Qingning had specially bought a few storybooks online. The kind that could read stories with a pen. Qiao An had tried it when she got the goods in the morning.
The child's voice was crisp and melodious, and it also had the background sound effect. She thought that Qin Yining would definitely like it.
Sure enough, when she picked Qin Yining up from school in the afternoon, Qiao An gave him a treasure to try. The child simply listened to the story along the way and went back home to play in the living room.
So when Huo Chengzhou returned to the house, he saw Qin Yining in the living room listening happily with a storybook in his hands.
Aunt Faang hung up the jacket he took off and explained, "Miss Qiao bought a storybook for Yining. You can tell the story yourself."
Huo Chengzhou's eyes lit up with a touch of contemplation. Did this mean that she wanted to completely abandon him?
She did not even need him to tell the story before she went to bed?
His wheelchair went straight to the sofa. He raised his hand and took the story book from Qin Yining's hand. He looked at Yining with a smile. "Yining, is the story book good or Huo's father's story good?"
Qin Yining blinked his big bright eyes. "The story book."
Qiao An was eating grapes at the side. She smiled at Huo Chengzhou and said, "Mr. Huo, you can be free from today. The storybook will make Yining sleep. You just have to do your thing."
Huo Chengzhou slightly gritted his teeth. The depression in his heart had nowhere to be dispersed. He could only say in a light tone, "I am not busy recently."
Qiao An smiled and did not say much.
Whether she was busy or not seemed to have nothing to do with her.
After dinner, Huo Chengzhou made an exception and did not go to game room. Instead, he stayed in the living room and played toys with Qin Yining. Qiao An played the piano when she had nothing to do.
Aunt Faang came over to deliver fruits a few times. Every time she saw the state of the three people, she could not help but sigh.
It really was like a warm family of three.
At nine o'clock, Aunt Faang brought Qin Yining to wash up and Qiao An brought him upstairs. Before she left, she even asked Qin Yining to wave goodbye to Huo Chengzhou.
"Good night Huo's father. Just tell me the story today."
Huo Chengzhou looked at the two of them indifferently and nodded slightly. " Yes."
After the two of them left, Huo Chengzhou went up to the second floor with an unhappy expression.
Recently, Huo Feng had been playing games with Eldest Qiao. He also instructed Old K to look for him in the morning, so there was not much work to do. He finished it in less than half an hour.
He lightly twisted his fingers. He was thinking about how he could go to Qiao An's room in a calm and natural manner.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Yes.
Ten minutes later, Qiao An and Qin Yining were discussing the last story before going to bed. Someone knocked on the door of the room, followed by Huo Chengzhou's voice. "Qiao An, is Yining asleep?"
Qiao An fumbled down from the bed and walked to the door. She slightly opened the door and said, "Not yet. What's wrong?"
