Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9205: Unwavering determination (12)

Xiao Sisi nodded: "It's delicious. Auntie's cooking is really good."

Qiao Chengfan smiled half-heartedly, didn't say much, and just carried the tray upstairs.

Ye Jiaqi said to Xiao Xisi: "He has changed a lot. He used to go back to Qiao's house during the Chinese New Year and leave within half a day. He was eager for success and arrogant. His father didn't care about him. He felt that he would be troubled if he failed a few times. Well, I didn’t expect such a big setback this time, but luckily I came back safely.”

Ye Jiaqi always feels scared when talking about these.

Even now that Qiao Chengfan has returned to her, she still often thinks it is a dream.

After making some snacks, Xiang Xiangsi went to the children's room to look for Zheng Bao.

Zhengbao was playing with blocks and little Huaihuai was crawling around on the carpet.

Little Huaihuai took off his coat and was only wearing a cute sky blue sweater. He crawled on the clean carpet, laughing while crawling. He was very happy.

Zheng Bao glanced at him with disgust: "It looks like a little monkey."

Little Huaihuai didn't understand either. When he got tired from climbing, he just lay down on the ground to feel comfortable.

Half of Zheng Bao's castle was piled up. Little Huaihuai stretched out his little feet and "whooped", and he knocked them all down!

Zheng Bao jumped up in anger, looked at Xiao Huaihuai lying on the ground acting coquettishly, and said angrily: "I have been piling up for a long time."

"Play with Xiao Huaihuai." Xiao Huaihuai didn't feel guilty at all.

"I don't want to play with you, little one." Zheng Bao sat down again angrily.

"Bad Pot Pot."

"Humph."

Xiao Huaihuai didn't give up, and relied on Zheng Bao to play coquettishly with him: "Guo Guo, Guo Guo, play with Xiao Huaihuai."

The little baby smelled of clean milk and had a soft face. Zheng Bao looked at his dark pupils and said angrily, "I'll pay for the blocks."

"Compensate." Xiao Huaihuai seemed to understand and took off his small bracelet from his hand, "Give it to Guo Guo, Guo Guo is not angry anymore."

Zhengbao didn't dare to accept it and couldn't laugh or cry.

Seeing Xiao Sisi coming over, he threw himself into Xiao Sisi's arms and complained to Mommy: "Bad brother."

Xiao Xixi smiled: "My brother is still very young, so we have to be patient. Look, my brother has apologized to you. Let's go play with him, okay?"

"He's too young and it's not fun."

"But we can take him to play with us."

Zheng Bao was a little reluctant, sitting on the carpet and playing with little Huaihuai.

Xiao Huaihuai sat next to Zheng Bao in a small group. Sometimes he was very good, sometimes he was very noisy.

After a long time, Zhengbao and Xiao Huaihuai have become very familiar with each other.

Throughout the whole day, Xiao Xiang didn't seem to leave Qiao's house.

Everyone in the Qiao family was very kind to her, and she was not as reserved as she was at first.

At night, Qiao Zhai started to set off fireworks.

The housekeeper set off fireworks in the yard, and Zhengbao and Xiao Huaihuai ran all over the place, making it very lively.

The dinner was held in the largest living room of the Qiao family. Josnian went to the wine cellar himself to select the best wine and drank a lot of it for Qiao Chengfan and Ji Changmu.

Ye Jiaqi was in a good mood and drank a lot.

Xiao Si seemed to know how to drink, and wanted to take a few sips, but Qiao Chengfan refused, saying that she was not in good health and could not drink.

Indoors and outdoors, the lights are brightly lit and the atmosphere is joyful.

The light of the red lantern falls on the white jade railing of Qiao House. Looking out from the living room, the moonlight is like water and the shadows of the trees are dancing.

Xiao Sisi felt the warmth of family for the first time in her adult life. She sat next to Qiao Chengfan and occasionally whispered to him in a low voice.

"Try this beef with abalone sauce." Qiao Chengfan was afraid that she would be hungry, so he kept bringing her vegetables. "One of the Qiao family's chef's best dishes."

"It's delicious. Everything is delicious." Xiao Xi seemed to be in a good mood, "You should drink less, I see you are blushing."

"I don't drink as much as I used to. Six years ago, no one could drink from me at home."

"What's the comparison?" Xiao said angrily. While they were talking, Ji Changmu's wine came over again, and Qiao Chengfan drank with him again.

The three men were drinking and chatting. Ye Jiaqi and the others couldn't get in and had no intention of chatting with them.

Ye Jiaqi said to Xiao Xisi: "There will be a jewelry exhibition in the capital in the next year. Let Mu Yuan take you there. You can pick out some more jewelry you like."

"Okay, I'll take my sister-in-law." Qiao Muyuan was very happy, "Sister-in-law, did my brother give you a black diamond card? He has many of them!"

"He gave it."

"Just give it to me, I'm afraid he's hiding it. Sister-in-law, just feel free to swipe his card, he won't feel bad."

"He bought me a lot of stuff."

"That's what it should be." Qiao Muyuan was still afraid that she wouldn't be willing to spend Qiao Chengfan's money!

"Mu Yuan, how was your company's revenue last year?" Ye Jiaqi asked Qiao Muyuan again, "I heard it was pretty good."

"Mom, who did you listen to?" Qiao Muyuan leaned next to her and acted coquettishly with her, "It's really not bad, but I'm a little tired. I don't want to be so tired next year."

Qiao Muyuan leaned close to Ye Jiaqi's ear, fearing that Ji Changmu would overhear his whisper.

She said to Ye Jiaqi: "I want to prepare for pregnancy next year. I want a daughter."

"Can't you wait until little Huaihuai gets older?"

"Little Huaihuai doesn't have to worry. He is very obedient. He has to go to kindergarten next year."

"Okay, you can figure it out, but I think it's hard for your Ji Changmu to let go."

"What he says at home doesn't count."

Ye Jiaqi didn't believe it and laughed hard.

Fireworks started to set off again in the yard. Qiao Muyuan drank some wine, stood up, and went to the yard to find Xiao Huaihuai.

The New Year's Eve dinner had a harmonious atmosphere and the whole restaurant was peaceful.

Qiao Chengfan and Ji Changmu were both drunk heavily by Josnian, and they were all dizzy from drinking.

Most people don't dare to drink Ji Changmu, he only gets drunk at this time of year.

Qiao Chengfan was even happier. This was his first New Year's Eve dinner after returning to China after many years, and it brought him back to the time when he drank with his father.

Qiao Chengfan drank the most and was also the most drunk.

Xiao Sisi poured him some sobering tea: "Chengfan, are you going back to Xiling tonight?"

"I won't go back tonight. I want to spend more time talking to my father."

"Okay, then you can have a few more drinks with uncle." Xiao seemed to know that he was happy and did not displease him.

Xiao Sisi chatted with Ye Jiaqi, and they had endless things to say.

"Sisi, don't worry, Chengfan has always had a good drinking capacity."

"That's right. I saw it in Xuanzhou back then."

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Chengfan said he was going to pay New Year's greetings to his uncles and aunts. He said they hadn't seen each other for many years and wanted to meet again after a long absence."

"Yes, yes, you should go with him."

Xiao Sisi nodded.

In the yard, Zheng Bao played like crazy.

He jumped up and down, and the entire compound belonged to him and Xiao Huaihuai.

Little Huaihuai couldn't keep up with him and fell several times. He was bruised and swollen but he was very happy.

Xiao Sisi stood in the courtyard and shouted to Zhengbao: "Zhengbao, come over and eat!"

"Come on!" Zheng Bao put down the toys in his hands and ran towards Xiao Xisi.

Xiao Sisi raised his head and glanced at the bright moonlight. The moonlight was like water and the courtyard was deep.
