Chapter 813: Gu Xiaobao (11)
“Your dad was saying nonsense, and you actually remembered.”
Although Gu Qingjiu and Helian Niancheng were stricter with Gu Xiaobao, Gu Qingjiu still pampered the child a lot inside.
Gu Qingjiu poked at Gu Xiaobao’s nose with great cheer and looked at Helian Niancheng. “Hubbby, was Xiaobao easy to take care of? I heard from Mom that you hadn’t been back for the past few days. Let’s go back for dinner tonight.”
“Mm.”
Helian Niancheng has always agreed to Gu Qingjiu, so he agreed readily.
Gu Xiaobao puffed up his cheeks. “Dad said that he would bring me to the amus.e.m.e.nt park, but he hasn’t!”
Startled, Gu Qingjiu turned to Helian Niancheng. “You want to bring him to the amus.e.m.e.nt park?”
Helian Niancheng nodded. “I promised. Now that you’re back, we can go together.”
Helian Niancheng wouldn’t go back on his words. Since he promised his son, he would definitely do it.
Gu Qingjiu thought about her schedule. “Sure, but I have to leave next week for France.”
She only said simply about where she was going. Helian Niancheng remained silent for a while before nodding. “Okay.”
“Aiya, it will be a fast trip. Just something small.”
Gu Qingjiu did not explain further. Carrying Gu Xiaobao, she touched Helian Niancheng’s hand. “Do you still have work to do?”
“Just a while. Let me pack up. You and Xiaobao can wait here for a while.”
Helian Niancheng nodded slightly. Upon hearing this, Gu Qingjiu sat down with Gu Xiaobao at the side.
“Mom, when are you and dad going to give me a younger sister?”
Gu Xiaobao still thought a lot about his younger sister.
Hearing that, Gu Qingjiu was unsure if she should laugh or cry. “You want a younger sister that badly?”
“Yup! Mom will give me a younger sister as cute as me.”
Gu Xiaobao thought of his younger sister, about how she would always follow behind him, calling him ‘older brother.’ How wonderful would that be!
“You cheeky kid, caring about looks.”
But any child from her and Helian Niancheng would probably look good. She wanted a daughter, too, but she didn’t have the time. She didn’t get pregnant from their usual… activities. She was healthy, so it was just a matter of luck.
Right at that moment, someone called her. She picked up. “Okay, sure. Where did you put it? I will go and pick it up.”
Hearing that, Helian Niancheng looked up. “What’s the matter?”
Gu Qingjiu hung up the call. “I have a parcel which I bought before coming back. It’s Xiaobao’s present. I sent it here, and it was supposed to reach today. Now that it’s here, I will go down to collect. Hubby, help me tell the people in your office that the parcel is under Gu Qingjiu.”
“I will let Secretary Lin know.”
Helian Niancheng called Secretary Lin while Gu Qingjiu stood up to collect the parcel.
Gu Xiaobao refused to let go of her arm. “Let’s go together. Mom, together!”
Gu Qingjiu smiled in exasperated fondness and tightened her arm around Gu Xiaobao. “Okay, sure. We will go together.”
After speaking, Gu Qingjiu brought Gu Xiaobao downstairs.
When Gu Qingjiu walked out of Helian Niancheng’s office, Secretary Lin greeted respectfully, “Madam, they’ve been informed.”
Gu Qingjiu expressed her grat.i.tude. “Thanks, Secretary Lin.”
“You’re welcome.”
Secretary Lin has seen Gu Qingjiu several times. Since he was Helian Niancheng’s right hand, he knew more things than others.
