Chapter 223 Romantic Offensive
Chapter 223 Romantic Offensive
As time went by, Jingyun grew up and became increasingly curious about everything around him.
His laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, always bringing endless joy to the family.
Qiu Ziyue doted on Jingyun and often took him for walks in the park.
Qiu Langyu and Leng Feng knew in their hearts that Jingyun was Qiu Ziyue's child.
But they also know that Qiu Ziyue has amnesia and treats Jingyun as her younger brother.
The two of them liked Jingyun very much and often found various excuses to visit Jingyun at Qiu Ziyue's house.
Each time they visited, Qiu Langyu and Leng Feng would bring Jingyun a carefully selected gift.
Qiu Langyu would bring some colorful toys, such as a carousel and plush toys, which Jingyun loved.
Leng Feng would choose some educational toys, such as puzzles and building blocks, hoping to cultivate Jingyun's hands-on and thinking abilities.
Gradually, Jingyun developed a deep affection for these two uncles.
Whenever he saw them coming, he would excitedly dance around and grab their hands, wanting to play together.
Qiu Ziyue's mother always felt that Qiu Langyu and Leng Feng were pursuing her daughter.
But she also noticed that the two men were of good character, and seeing that her daughter's grades were improving and her condition was gradually getting better, she didn't want to interfere with them.
Qiu Ziyue's mother especially valued Qiu Langyu, thinking he was a gentle, refined, and considerate young man.
Every time she saw him, she would warmly invite him to stay for dinner and would even prepare some of his favorite foods.
One day, Qiu Langyu and Leng Feng came to Qiu Ziyue's house again.
As soon as Jingyun saw them, she immediately started babbling happily.
Qiu Langyu smiled and squatted down, teasing Jingyun earnestly, and clapping for her from time to time.
Qiu Ziyue's mother was busy in the kitchen, occasionally peeking out to look at the scene in the living room, her face beaming with a happy smile.
She said to Qiu Ziyue, "Look, it's so good to have such a good friend. Teacher Qiu Langyu is really someone I can trust."
Qiu Ziyue nodded, her heart filled with gratitude.
She knew that these beautiful moments were not only because Jingyun was cute, but also because of Qiu Langyu and Leng Feng's sincerity and kindness.
Despite their busy studies and lives, they still remember to care about those around them, which makes Qiu Ziyue feel incredibly warm.
Dinner time arrived, and the family sat around the table, their laughter filling the air.
Qiu Langyu and Leng Feng also integrated themselves into the group, as if they had become part of the family.
Qiu Ziyue's mother specially picked up a piece of braised pork for Qiu Langyu, and said with a smile:
"Teacher Qiu, eat more. Do you like the food Auntie makes?"
Qiu Langyu nodded politely:
"Thank you, Auntie, your food is really delicious."
His smile filled the entire room with a warm atmosphere.
Leng Feng felt quite awkward, but he didn't say anything.
After the meal, everyone sat together chatting and sharing snippets of their lives.
And Qiu Ziyue's mother, without realizing it, began to regard them as family.
On the way home, Leng Feng asked, "Zi Yue is pregnant, are you really not bothered?"
Qiu Langyu said:
"If I had been braver in ancient times, Qi Yuxuan might not have been a problem, so I plan to take the initiative."
Leng Feng laughed awkwardly:
"Qiu Langyu, you're really something. You look very refined, but you're also quite manly. Ziyue would be happy with you."
The two smiled at each other.
While Qiu Ziyue was dating Leng Feng and Qiu Langyu, policewoman Wen Qingrou launched her offensive against Qi Yuxuan.
Wen Qingrou fell in love with Qi Yuxuan at first sight, and she secretly harbored feelings for him.
But she knew that winning his heart would not be easy.
Qi Yuxuan is introverted and conservative, and keeps a certain distance from others.
However, Wen Qingrou did not give up. Instead, she decided to take action and hoped to win Qi Yuxuan over with her actions.
One afternoon, Wen Qingrou took advantage of Qi Yuxuan's absence at work to visit his home and offered to help take care of Xiao Minglan.
She said gently to the maid, Liu Ma:
“Auntie, I don’t have anything to do today. I can look after Minglan for you, and you can rest for a while.”
Seeing how considerate Wen Qingrou was, Aunt Liu gladly agreed to her request.
Wen Qingrou began to skillfully take care of Xiao Minglan, feeding her, changing her diapers, and playing with her.
She also specially prepared some small toys suitable for babies, which made Minglan giggle.
Wen Qingrou's thoughtfulness and patience greatly increased Liu Ma's goodwill towards her.
As evening approached, Wen Qingrou offered to cook again.
She went into the kitchen and carefully prepared several home-style dishes, cooking each one with care and striving for perfection.
Before long, the table was filled with delicious-looking and fragrant dishes, emitting an enticing aroma.
Aunt Liu praised it highly:
"Officer Wen, you are so skillful! These dishes look delicious."
When Qi Yuxuan returned home and saw Wen Qingrou busy at home, a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
He originally thought it was just occasional help, but he didn't expect Wen Qingrou to take it so seriously.
He felt somewhat overwhelmed and tried to remain calm, but the turmoil within him was difficult to quell.
To avoid making things awkward, Qi Yuxuan deliberately kept a certain distance.
After a brief greeting, he returned to his room to handle his work.
Wen Qingrou noticed his coldness and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But she showed no dissatisfaction and continued doing what she was doing with a smile.
It was dinner time. Wen Qingrou gently patted Minglan to calm her down, and then sat down at the table.
Although Qi Yuxuan was sitting at the table, he seemed absent-minded, mechanically eating his food.
Wen Qingrou tried to break the silence and asked softly:
"Yu Xuan, how did today's filming go?"
Qi Yuxuan raised his head and forced a smile:
"It's alright, just a little tired."
After saying that, he lowered his head again and continued eating.
After the meal, Wen Qingrou took the initiative to clear the dishes and wash the utensils.
Seeing this, Qi Yuxuan finally couldn't help but speak up:
"Officer Wen, thank you for everything today. But..."
He paused, carefully choosing his words:
"I don't think we're very close yet. I also have children, so it's better if we keep our distance."
Wen Qingrou stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Qi Yuxuan, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure:
"Yu Xuan, I understand what you mean. I just hope you can feel my concern."
Her words carried a hint of sadness.
Qi Yuxuan remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded:
"Thank you, Officer Wen. You're a very good girl, and I can't hold you back."
Wen Qingrou smiled slightly and nodded gently:
“I understand, but are you sure your wife is still alive? Minglan is still young, she needs a mother.”
“Minglan only has one mother, and that is her biological mother. I believe my wife is still alive, and I will definitely find her. Thank you for your kindness.”
"But children need their mother's love. You may not be able to forget your wife now, but as time goes by, you may discover my good qualities and gradually accept me."
"Impossible. I, Qi Yuxuan, have only one wife in my life. If Officer Wen came here to become Minglan's mother, then please, Officer Wen, do not come again starting tomorrow."
Qi Yuxuan said coldly.
Wen Qingrou paused awkwardly for a moment, then took off her apron and left.
Although Qi Yuxuan chose to deliberately distance himself, Wen Qingrou did not stay away from him.
She continued to care about Qi Yuxuan and Ming Lan as a friend.
