Lin Mingqi left home very early in the morning. When he left, the production crew was still filming Gu Qianjing eating breakfast. He had no idea that they would go to Ankang Town to record the show later, let alone that they would be gone for a week.
The butler bent down and took out a pair of lambskin soft-soled slippers and placed them respectfully at Lin Mingqi’s feet.
Seeing Lin Mingqi’s dreamy look, the housekeeper couldn’t help but comfort him.
”Mr. Lin, a week would pass in the blink of an eye. Moreover, when you miss your wife and Xiaoshu, you can watch the live broadcast. The live broadcast time is from 7 am to 9 pm, every day.”
Lin Mingqi interrupted the pretentious conversation with two light coughs, making it seem as if he was not the one who couldn’t live without Gu Qianjing and Xiao Shu. Recently, this robot butler has become more and more inexplicable.
Butler Hu shut up tactfully and changed the subject, “Have you had dinner? Do you want to notify the kitchen to prepare it?”
Lin Mingqi had an appointment with someone to discuss something at a cafe this afternoon. He had a light meal and didn’t feel hungry now.
”No.”
He went straight up to the second floor, pushed open the door of the study, turned on the computer, clicked into the mailbox, and began to download the work report PPT sent from the overseas project.
While downloading the file, he somehow ended up entering Gu Qianjing’s live broadcast room.
The black and white computer interface suddenly became colorful. Gu Qianjing was wearing a bright yellow helmet with a bamboo dragonfly spinning in the wind on top of her head. She was controlling a tattered little electric car to move forward.
The green rice fields on both sides of the road and the brilliant sunset clouds in the sky form an extremely vivid picture.
Xiao Shu was also wearing a little yellow duck helmet. He stood directly on the pedal in front of the electric bike, tilted his little face up, and smiled happily like a little fool.
Behind Gu Qianjing, there were two people, one big and one small, on the electric bike. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be the mother and daughter athletes who had done the amusement park mission with Gu Qianjing.
Lin Mingqi stared at the tattered electric car on the screen, his two handsome eyebrows slightly frowned. Doesn’t this woman have any sense of safety at all?
At this moment, a child who was learning to ride a bicycle suddenly appeared in front of the straight road and rushed towards them in a crooked manner.
Outside the screen, the corners of Lin Mingqi’s lips suddenly tightened.
When the bicycle was about to hit the electric bike, Gu Qianjing made a neat turn and steadily moved the bicycle out of the way, and the broken electric bike continued to move forward steadily on the picturesque country road.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were obviously frightened by this scene.
[Oh my god, I was so scared just now. She was about to crash into him. Fortunately, my wife was smart.]
Lin Mingqi:…your wife?
[Yes, yes, but how did Qianqian learn to ride an electric bike? And she rides it so well. How can she look so noble and down-to-earth? I love her so much! ]
Lin Mingqi:…Qianqian? Love her to death? Are you a man or a woman? Beat you!
The road that Gu Qianjing and her friends were riding on was a rural road that was newly built in Ankang last year. It is not open to traffic yet, so no cars pass by.
Occasionally, a few pedestrians passing by were farmers working in the fields. When they saw Gu Qianjing and her friends on their electric bikes, they greeted them in a friendly manner.
Xiao Shu stretched out his little hand and waved to the farmers to express his gratitude, saying that farming was really hard work.
Large groups of fiery clouds were burning in the sky, dyeing Xiaoshu’s originally fair face with a gentle blush. Electric cars are much more fun than the luxury cars at home.
After driving around the fields for a while, it was almost dinner time and the shabby electric bike was running out of battery, so we slowly returned to the B&B[1]Bed and Breakfast.
There was a call from the overseas project department saying that there was an urgent design modification in today’s work log that required Lin Mingqi’s signature. He looked at the screen again and saw that Gu Qianjing and Xiao Shu had landed safely. Then he turned off the live broadcast and opened the boring work log.
Delicious food has been placed on the round table in the restaurant, and there is a sour and spicy fragrance in the fresh evening air.
Gu Qianjing stuck her head in to take a look, then turned around and said to Lu Yi in surprise, “It’s hot and sour fish! Hurry up and take the kids to wash their hands.”
There was a washbasin under the Myanmar osmanthus tree in the yard. When Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi arrived here, Deng Li was also washing their hands with soap with Xiu Ziheng and Xiaojun.
Xiaoshu and Xiao Ju lined up obediently at the back and rolled up their sleeves in advance.
When Deng Li saw them coming, she deliberately slowed down her hands and rubbed Xiaojun’s hands slowly, intentionally letting Gu Qianjing and the others wait a little longer.
Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi both saw through her little thoughts. They looked at each other and rolled their eyes helplessly. How tiring must her life be?
Gu Qianjing looked up out of boredom and saw the Burmese osmanthus flowers blooming above her head, emitting a lingering fragrance.
She picked a flower that was about to wither, put it to her nose and sniffed it. The fragrance of the Burmese osmanthus was refreshing.
Gu Qianjing handed the flowers to two children to smell. It was the first time for the children to smell such a exotic fragrance and they were all fascinated by the flowers.
Even Xiaojun, whose hands were rubbed red by Deng Li, turned his head and said eagerly, “Auntie, let me smell it too.”
Deng Li glared at Xiao Jun and said, “What are you smelling? It’s not like you haven’t seen it before!”
Xiaojun muttered quietly, “I’ve never seen it before.”
Deng Li was so angry at her own son that she almost fell over. She turned around and saw Gu Qianjing sniffing the white Burmese osmanthus flower and looking at her with a half-smile. Deng Li failed to get angry and was outmaneuvered instead. She was holding her breath but had no place to vent.
She was in no mood to waste any more time, so she washed the foam off the child’s hands with clean water and turned to leave.
When she walked past Xiao Shu, her eyes paused and she was suddenly stunned.
Isn’t the watch Xiaoshu is wearing the same children’s watch that Li Yunhua officially announced two days ago?
Deng Li remembered very clearly that when she saw Li Yunhua’s update, she was extremely envious. But after all, Li Yunhua was a high-profile figure and the spokesperson for Daisy, so it was expected that she would get this watch. Apart from envy, Deng Li did not have many other emotions.
But now this watch was actually worn on Xiao Shu’s hand. Deng Li’s heart moved and she subconsciously asked,
”Xiao Shu, where did you get this watch?”
Xiao Shu raised his head and looked at Deng Li with his big eyes blinking.
”Oh, I forgot, you can’t speak.” Deng Li looked at Gu Qianjing behind Xiao Shu, “Gu Qianjing, didn’t you buy a fake product for Xiao Shu? Aren’t you too vain?”
Deng Li was a noisy person to begin with, and when she shouted, Li Yunhua, who was drinking tea in the tea room, heard the noise and came out.
Li Yunhua’s eyes fell on Xiao Shu’s wrist, and her heart sank to the bottom. She had been worrying about the watch these past two days. Without this watch, would the plot collapse again?
Now seeing the watch appearing intact on Xiaoshu’s wrist, Li Yunhua felt like something exploded in her head at that moment, her mind went blank, and she even lost the ability to think.
Deng Li quickly grabbed Li Yunhua’s arm, pointed her crystal-nailed finger at Xiao Shu’s wrist, and screamed.
”Teacher Li, look! This is too shameless. Gu Qianjing actually let Xiao Shu wear fake goods.”
Xiao Shu was frightened by Deng Li’s scream. He nervously hid behind Gu Qianjing, hugged his mother’s legs, and stared with wide eyes at the strange aunt whose facial features were distorted.
Gu Qianjing glared at Deng Li and said, “Whether it is a fake or not, we will have to wait for the official announcement from the brand. Before that, please shut your stinky mouth.”
If you scare my child, I will slap you too!
Compared to Deng Li, Gu Qianjing felt that Li Yunhua’s eyes were even stranger. She kept staring at the watch, as if her soul had been sucked out of her.
A watch isn’t enough, is it?
A thought suddenly occurred to Gu Qianjing: Did Li Yunhua also know, like herself, that this watch was a key prop that influenced the plot?
The more I looked at her distraught look, the stranger it seemed.
”Mothers, it’s time for dinner.”
Uncle Yang stood at the door of the restaurant and waved over here, breaking the weird atmosphere.
Li Yunhua is a film queen after all, and it is fundamental for her to not show her emotions on her face. She came to her senses, said calmly, “Let’s eat first.” Then she turned and left the garden.
After all the parties had left, Deng Li also felt bored. She glared at Gu Qianjing, then left with Xiaojun and Xiu Ziheng.
Gu Qianjing rolled her eyes at her back, “Stupid!” If it wasn’t for the children, she might have really scolded them with her violent temper.
After washing their hands, everyone returned to the restaurant and sat down.
At the dinner table, Deng Li wanted to make provocative remarks several times but was stopped by Li Yunhua with a look. The live camera was still on, and she didn’t want to be exposed at this time.
Everyone was already very hungry after a hard day’s work, and this was the last free dinner provided by the program team. Starting tomorrow, the mothers would have to work as apprentices to earn money to support their families, so no one said anything and the meal was relatively peaceful.
Because of the watch incident, the live broadcast room also exploded,
[Did Gu Qianjing really buy a fake watch? I am so emo…I am such a fan of her.]
[Don’t talk nonsense above, didn’t Sister Qian say to wait for the official announcement from the brand? ]
[I just want to ask, why hasn’t the brand officially announced it yet? Will it take so long? Why do I feel like this is Gu Qianjing’s delaying tactic? ]
[Oh my god, it’s really scary when I think about it. No matter how I think about it, that watch can’t be a genuine Daisy watch.]
[If it is really a fake, then I will immediately turn from a fan to a hater, it is too disgusting. ]
[Li Yunhua is the genuine spokesperson for Daisy. I bet my life that Gu Qianjing must have bought a fake.]
[Gu Qianjing can just wait for the lawsuit. Daisy won’t let her go.]
Before they knew it, it was dark. There was no light on in the study on the second floor of the villa. The bright blue light from the computer screen fell on Lin Mingqi’s handsome face, making his expression even more profound.
After Lin Mingqi approved the urgent work, he inexplicably opened the live broadcast room.
The messages criticizing Gu Qianjing for using fake goods flashed across the screen quickly, and a thin layer of ice seemed to condense on Mr. Lin’s handsome face.
He picked up his phone and called his assistant.
”It’s me, call Daisy and find out what’s going on.”
”Even if the watch is fake, you have to find a way to make it real.”
”Is it difficult? Did I spend so much money to hire you just to take care of me in my old age?”
The phone that had been hung up soon rang again.
Lin Mingqi picked up the phone. After hearing what was said on the other end, his expression relaxed. His voice was still as cold as if it contained a mouthful of ice.
”If it’s true, let them announce it to me immediately. Does Daisy need to be acquired?”
Assistant: “……”
As soon as 9 o’clock in the evening arrives, the live broadcast room will be closed on time.
There are no street lights in this area of the B&B. Looking out the window, it is pitch black outside, with the occasional sound of frogs.
The sliding doors on the balconies of rooms 202 and 205 were open, and Xiaoshu and Xiao Ju were squatting on the ground playing with building blocks.
The program team allowed each child to bring one toy. When packing in the morning, Xiao Shu wanted to take the building block castle in the living room, but was stopped in time by the photography assistant.
”Xiao Shu, you must bring toys that can fit in the suitcase.”
Xiao Shu thought about it carefully and put the green building block dinosaur into the suitcase. In the Ultraman-shaped small suitcase, besides the little dinosaur, there were also a few fairy tale books and a few simple sets of clothes.
Compared to Gu Qianjing’s suitcase, Xiao Shu’s suitcase is really too straight masculine.
The suitcase that Gu Qianjing brought was much bigger than Xiao Shu’s. Facial masks, toners, lotions, and essences took up half of it, not to mention a set of clothes for each day, as well as jewelry and bags to match the clothes. It was like moving into a new home.
While Xiaoshu was sharing building blocks with his sister, Gu Qianjing took out two luxury gold facial masks from the suitcase and threw one to Lu Yi who was lying on the bed.
Lu Yi caught it with her backhand, took a look at the luxurious outer packaging, and went to the bathroom to wash her face in fear.
After a while, Lu Yi’s voice came from the bathroom, “Qianqian, since this mask contains gold, can the gold be recycled after application?”
Gu Qianjing replied without thinking, “No, the gold will melt after applying it on your face.”
After saying this, Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi fell silent.
Damn it, whose gold can melt? What an IQ. Luckily the money to buy the facial mask was from Lin Mingqi, otherwise Gu Qianjing would definitely hate me to death.
