She wanted to hug such a cute baby.
Gong Zhijing noticed her thoughts and, to make up for her earlier mistake, immediately picked up Ling Leyou.
"Baby Leyou, Mama will hold you."
"Ao, ya ya."
Ling Leyou happily grunted a few times, snuggling into Gong Zhijing's arms, smelling of milk.
Gong Zhijing was helpless. She had just finished feeding her, and the little one still wanted to be held.
She handed the baby to Qiao Xinyue. "You hold her."
Qiao Xinyue immediately sat down on the sofa and held out her hands.
As soon as the small, soft, and fragrant baby was placed in her arms, she stiffened and dared not move.
"Yiya!"
It wasn't Mama's scent.
Ling Leyou's little face wrinkled, but she didn't cry, just flailed her hands and feet.
Qiao Xinyue's heart was completely captured, and she softened.
"Baby Leyou, how can you be so cute!"
This baby smelled so milky and was so adorable; she wanted to take a bite, just like a cat.
"Ah, ya ya," Ling Leyou waved her little hands, as if resisting.
Qiao Xinyue couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
It was smooth and delicate, like a peeled egg. Rubbing her face against it would surely be more comfortable, but she dared not.
"Situ Jun wants us to have dinner at his place tonight. He said he wants to introduce us to his girlfriend," Ling Yuchen appeared out of nowhere.
Qiao Xinyue was so startled that she almost dropped the baby. Just as she relaxed, she tensed up again.
However, Ling Yuchen only glanced at her before his gaze fell on Gong Zhijing.
After a morning of driving, she was quite tired. If she didn't want to go, he wouldn't go either.
Gong Zhijing asked curiously, "When did Situ Jun find a girlfriend?"
As soon as she asked, she remembered seeing Situ Jun leave with a woman at the full moon banquet.
Ling Yuchen had forgotten about it after watching the video Situ Jun sent that day and hadn't told Gong Zhijing.
Seeing her ask, he pulled out his phone and showed her the video.
"Come, come, let me introduce you to my girlfriend."
In the video, Situ Jun was as smug as ever.
Gong Zhijing recognized the woman in the video as the one she had seen at the full moon banquet.
She returned the phone to Ling Yuchen and asked, "Where are we eating? Is it far?"
"Not far, just at Linglu Mountain."
"Okay, let's go!"
If it were too far, she definitely wouldn't want to go, not wanting to be away from her daughter for too long.
As she spoke, Ling Yuchen's phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and left.
Gong Zhijing asked Qiao Xinyue, "Xuanxuan will definitely be there. Do you want to come?"
Qiao Xinyue lowered her head shyly. "You guys go. I'm going to the movies with Wen Yan tonight."
Gong Zhijing raised her eyebrows and smiled, about to tease her.
Then she heard Qiao Xinyue exclaim, "Why is my leg feeling warm? Did she pee on me!"
Holding the baby, Qiao Xinyue dared not move, her whole body stiff as if she had hit pause.
"It's okay, she's wearing a diaper. I'll call the nanny to change it."
The baby was already two months old, but Gong Zhijing still didn't dare to change her diapers.
"No need, I'll do it."
Ling Yuchen returned after his call, took the baby from Qiao Xinyue's arms, and skillfully cleaned and changed her.
This was the first time Qiao Xinyue and Ou Ma saw Ling Yuchen change a diaper.
Their eyes were filled with surprise, astonishment, and disbelief.
After lunch and a short rest, Gong Zhijing took Ling Leyou for her afternoon nap.
She slept until 3:30 PM.
After playing with the child for a long time, Gong Zhijing and Ling Yuchen went to Situ Jun's house after she fell asleep again.
Not long after they left, Qiao Xinyue also dressed up and went out.
Situ Jun lived alone, and his house was located a bit further up the mountainside.
Jiang Zexi brought Xia Wanfu, and Li Bowen brought Wen Xuanxuan. They arrived one after another.
Situ Jun had prepared an outdoor barbecue outside his house.
The weather was pleasant now, not too cold or too hot, so it was suitable.
When Gong Zhijing and Ling Yuchen arrived, everyone else was already there.
Situ Jun was as flashy as ever, clearly having put in an effort to dress up.
He wore a floral shirt, black suit pants, leather shoes, and a triumphant smile, with a charming woman in his arms.
The woman had big wavy hair and a small, delicate face. Her eyebrows were curved, her almond-shaped eyes held a seductive charm, and her red lips curved upwards, like a delicate rose.
She wore a red dress and a white short jacket, with a cinched waist that outlined her perfect figure.
Her beauty was alluring but not vulgar, bright and captivating.
"This is my brother Ling Yuchen, and this is sister-in-law," Situ Jun introduced them to Su Yinwan.
"Hello, my name is Su Yinwan," Su Yinwan smiled and greeted them generously.
Although she had just returned from abroad, she had heard of these two.
Ling Yuchen nodded slightly, his expression neutral.
"Hello."
Gong Zhijing responded with a smile, having a good first impression of Su Yinwan.
She seemed like a straightforward and frank person.
"Zhijing, sit here!"
Wen Xuanxuan waved at Gong Zhijing with a bright smile.
She had nothing to say to Xia Wanfu, and she wasn't familiar with Su Yinwan, so she waited for Gong Zhijing to come over.
Gong Zhijing walked towards her and nodded to Xia Wanfu as she passed, as a greeting.
"Why didn't you bring your daughter? I haven't even held her yet." Wen Xuanxuan regretted not being able to hold Ling Leyou last time.
Gong Zhijing chuckled and teased, "Then come stay at my place tonight, and you can hold her as much as you want."
"No."
Wen Xuanxuan suddenly smiled mischievously and leaned close to Gong Zhijing, whispering in her ear, "I'm staying at Li Bowen's place tonight."
When Li Bowen came to pick her up, she had originally planned to stay at Gong Zhijing's place, so she told her parents she wouldn't be back tonight, but she didn't say she was going to Gong Zhijing's.
In the past, they would have pestered her for details, but now they didn't care!
And she was leaving with Li Bowen.
"Aren't you ashamed to say that!" Gong Zhijing gave her a look, clearly disgusted.
This girl really told everything.
"What's there to be ashamed of? I'm only telling you."
They huddled together, whispering intimately.
Situ Jun smugly told the others, "I'm finally out of singlehood. I've been force-fed dog food by you guys every day. Now I have a girlfriend too, hahaha..."
As he spoke, he pecked Su Yinwan on the cheek, looking extremely proud.
Su Yinwan glared at him and said impatiently, "Can you be a little more serious?"
Situ Jun instinctively cupped his ears and shut his mouth.
Su Yinwan rolled her eyes, utterly speechless. What was the point of eating barbecue now? She was already full of anger.
"I never would have guessed! You're afraid of your girlfriend," Jiang Zexi said, unable to hide his amusement.
