"good."
After saying those words, Chu Qing had already made up his mind. He was willing to believe that Wei Yutang would not deliberately cheat him in this world, and he preferred this company until he was sure there were no problems with the contract.
"Then you should get some rest."
Wei Yutang checked the time and calculated the time difference. Noticing that Chu Qing's voice was slightly hoarse, he took the initiative to speak:
"You should go back and get some more sleep. It's still early. If you need anything in the future, just leave me a message or call my assistant."
Although it was just a voice call, Wei Yutang could still guess what Chu Qing was like right now, probably trying to stay awake while talking to him.
After hanging up the phone, Hou Yutang called his friend at T Entertainment again, saying that Chu Qing was willing to sign with their company and asking him to take good care of her in the future.
Chu Qing put down his phone and glanced at the time. Although he had gotten up quite early, he wasn't sleepy at all.
Thinking about how Xiaxia and I bought a black-boned chicken at the supermarket yesterday, I rubbed my eyes and got up to go to the kitchen, thinking that I could consider making black-boned chicken soup for Xiaxia this morning.
While Chu Qing was busy in the kitchen, things outside gradually became lively. The alarm clock rang in the bedroom, and a little boy ran out with messy hair a moment later.
"dad……"
Chapter 59
Chu Qing only recently discovered Xia Xia's little habit: if he wakes up and sees her still next to him, he'll most likely stay in bed for a while.
Nestled in his arms, this little guy would have stayed there for who knows how long if he hadn't urged him.
However, if he sleeps alone, there's no need for me to remind him; he'll get up on his own when the alarm rings.
Sometimes I sleep very comfortably, and I even change my clothes beforehand.
"Dad...where did you go just now? I didn't see you."
As Xiaxia said this, she rubbed her eyes, trying to appear more awake.
If it were when he didn't remember, that would be one thing, but last night he remembered very clearly that he was being held in his father's arms and falling asleep.
"I remembered you said you wanted to drink chicken soup, so I got up and made some for you."
The black-boned chicken in the kitchen had already been prepared, so his statement wasn't entirely a lie.
This little guy is very clingy, which made Chu Qing start to seriously consider whether he should let the child do some things independently.
It's not that he thinks it's bad for the child to rely on him, but he only recently discovered that the child handles many things much better after leaving him.
"Dad, I think you might be thinking something wrong. Promise me you'll get rid of that thought right away."
Xiaxia had just woken up, and her voice was a little muffled. She deliberately drew out her words, and the way she said them sounded rather cute.
It was originally just a fleeting thought, but seeing his serious expression and how he emphasized it to me, I decided to put that idea aside for the time being.
"That's hard to say. I was just thinking about whether I should reward you with a small ice cream today."
Normally, this kid's favorite food is mini ice cream, but because his stomach wasn't well taken care of when he was with the original owner, he's never been able to eat it to his heart's content.
Even with her father's permission, she could only eat half a stick each time, feeling wronged.
Upon hearing this possibility, he instinctively widened his eyes. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that if his father really had this idea, then his previous statement would have been a huge mistake.
"If that's the case, I'll take back what I just said; if not, I won't."
He was willing to trust his intuition in many things, and although he did not rule out the possibility his father had mentioned, he felt it was better to be cautious.
"Okay then, it's not the one you just mentioned."
Chu Qing rubbed his head and told him to go to the bathroom to wash up first. She then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him.
After hearing her father's words, Xiaxia hummed softly, leaned back on the sofa and dozed off for a while before jumping down, putting on her shoes, and heading towards the bathroom.
He knew his dad would never suddenly be so generous, nor would he let him eat too many ice creams.
Sometimes people are like that; the more impossible something is, the more they tend to dwell on it.
Even a very young child is no exception.
While preparing breakfast, Chu Qing inappropriately thought of some comments she had read before.
It is said that Wei Yutang generally does not live very well abroad. Due to different eating habits and his own pickiness, he usually brings a chef from China to the recording site.
But even so, those inconveniences remained unchanged, and he often underperformed due to differences in dietary habits.
After thinking for a long time, he finally took a picture and sent it over after he had prepared and placed the breakfast on the table.
According to the time difference there, he should already be resting at this time, and it will be just in time for him to wake up and see this.
Once you've decided on the company you want to sign with, things become much simpler.
When Xiaxia heard that her father was planning to sign a contract with someone, she specifically asked if it was that uncle who gave her the suggestion.
Before this, the child had no clear concept of the various things in the entertainment industry, nor did he understand why there were so many malicious speculations when others mentioned it.
However, after experiencing it firsthand for a while, I realized that other people's speculations weren't entirely without merit.
Fearing that his father might suffer in these unseen places, he could only trust a few people.
From this small group of people, after careful selection, I found the most reliable one, hoping that my father would believe in him as much as I do.
Since he had indeed been asked for help with this matter, Chu Qing didn't shy away from admitting it quite readily.
After nodding, he vaguely realized something was wrong. How could he not know when his son and Wei Yutang had become so close?
"Do you really trust this uncle that much?"
Although this little guy is usually precocious and smart, he is still a child after all, and his way of thinking about many things is rather straightforward.
What's more, the person who asked him this question was his favorite father, so he nodded without any hesitation.
As things stand, that uncle is practically the other father he's always dreamed of.
However, no matter how much he likes this little guy, he still has some reservations in his heart. After all, even he himself can't say for sure whether he will meet someone he likes even more in the future.
It's also possible that his father will meet someone he really likes in the future.
As a result, the little guy realized that many things weren't actually that important.
After all, no matter how much I like this uncle, he can't compare to how much my father likes him.
Similarly, this little guy is very determined to trust his father's judgment.
If his father were to bring someone he liked to him in the future, then he would be willing, for his father's sake, to reluctantly become the person he likes the most among everyone except his father.
"You haven't spent much time with that uncle, so how can you be so sure that what he said is true?"
He would never have asked such a question before, but this time he was just a little curious.
How exactly did Wei Yutang manage to fool Xiaxia in such a short time?
After all, this child is quite wary in daily life. There are some things that even he doesn't notice, but this little guy can recognize something is wrong at a glance.
“I’m not entirely sure either, but I’m certain this uncle won’t hurt us.”
This intuition came out of nowhere, but after thinking about it many times, it did not fade.
It was probably because he knew very well that his uncle liked his father, and in the adult world of relationships, everyone likes to maintain that perfect image in front of the person they like.
For a child, the underlying message is too obscure and complex, but that doesn't prevent him from clearly understanding it and being willing to believe that the uncle will help them.
"If that uncle has ulterior motives, wouldn't you find it difficult to refuse him after accepting his help so many times?"
When he heard his father ask that question, the little boy thought about it very seriously.
If it were an ordinary person, after receiving help from someone multiple times, they would be very embarrassed to refuse if that person made a request.
However, he felt that he was not an ordinary child. No matter how many times others had helped him, he was able to refuse unreasonable requests with a clear conscience.
"If you feel embarrassed in the future, just tell me and I'll help you refuse. I'm still a child."
Anyway, he's still young, and he might not even remember this embarrassing incident when he grows up, so the child said it without any burden.
Dad is an adult and may not be able to make good decisions in these matters, but he is a child and can simply do things the way he likes.
“I’m just asking you about this. I don’t need you to make decisions for me on these matters. You have to trust that I am your father and I can handle these things.”
If Chu Qing felt that she would have to rely on such a tiny child to protect her and make painful decisions for her, then she felt that this mission was a complete failure.
“But you are my father. It would break my heart if I had to do all these things by myself.”
After he finished speaking, he sighed. He really hoped that he could grow up quickly and stop being a child in his father's eyes, so that his father would not hesitate when he helped.
"The same principle applies to you. You are my child, and it hurts me when I see you thinking about these things for me."
A child this small would probably still be clinging to their parents and acting spoiled in someone else's home, but this little darling of ours is already taking care of everything for us.
Sometimes even he himself wasn't quite sure if he had completed these tasks well since he came to this world, after all, so far, this little guy had done a lot of things on his own.
"That's because other kids are immature, but I'm more sensible and love my dad more, so I'm willing to do these things for him."
While praising himself, he didn't forget to compare himself to other children to show how truly outstanding he was.
The act of praising one person while belittling another would be disgusting if done by an adult, but when done by such a tiny child, it just makes people think that what he is saying is funny.
"Other kids aren't this good. My kid is so amazing, doesn't it make me feel bad for him?"
Since he couldn't reason with him using his own logic, he chose to explain himself to this little devil using a child's logic, without needing him to consider the matter too much for him.
When Xiaxia heard her father say that, she racked her brains for a long time but couldn't think of anything to refute him. Her thoughts began to lean towards her father's opinion.
Since he couldn't find a single excuse to refute his father's words, in a way, it proved that his father was right.
Is that really the case?
"I guarantee that's really how it is. If you don't believe me, you can ask other kids."
When this topic came up, Chu Qing suddenly remembered that perhaps because she didn't have time, this little guy seemed to have never had any friends.
It's no wonder he doesn't have any friends to play with; he spends all his time on these things that shouldn't be his concern.
"Then next time I meet other kids, I'll ask them. Oh, Dad, didn't you just say you were going to sign a contract? Hurry up, don't waste time."
This is a child with a very good sense of time. Usually, when his father tells him how long he can watch cartoons, he will keep track of the time himself and doesn't need to be urged at all.
Not to mention that right now his father is going to sign a contract with someone, which is a very important matter concerning whether the father and son will be able to have enough to eat in the future.
"I've already asked, and it's okay to take you with me. You don't need to wait for me at home."
