Robots handle many things here. Wei Yutang tidied up the kitchen briefly and let Chu Qing and Xia Xia watch cartoons together.
The little one, who had been squinting, opened its eyelids a crack when it heard familiar footsteps approaching. Upon seeing its father, it promptly wrapped its tail around his wrist.
"Awoo~"
Are you sleepy?
Chu Qing noticed the weariness in the cub's voice, lowered her voice and asked, and the little tiger nodded affirmatively.
Helping the teacher soothe other animals at kindergarten was already tiring for the little one, and then being fed by his father like this when he got home.
After a good meal and with Dad by my side, I felt sleepy without even realizing it.
Chu Qing knew that Xia Xia had eaten a bit too much for dinner and didn't want him to fall asleep so early, so she reached out and patted his head and started chatting with him.
"Did you have fun at kindergarten today?"
The little tiger shook its head, not happy at all; all it could hear in its head was the sound of those people crying.
Those kids are so disobedient! Can't they be more mature like him?
"Would you still like to go tomorrow?"
This time, the little one didn't give an answer immediately; instead, he hesitated.
He didn't want to hear those children cry anymore, but... he still really wanted to learn and to be pampered by his father when he got home.
The little tiger gently rubbed its nose against its father, let out a resigned "woof," and nodded.
Let's go, let's go. It's a little annoying, but it's better to go.
"Good girl."
The little tiger, puffed up with pride, started waving its paws and telling its father how obedient and excellent it was in kindergarten.
Even though his father might not understand what he was saying, it didn't dampen the little boy's enthusiasm for the matter at all.
When Wei Yutang finished everything and came out, he happened to see this scene and sat down on the other side of Xiaxia.
"I have a new mission to carry out soon, and your father is also busy. The housekeeper and nanny will probably be taking care of you. Be a good boy and listen to me, okay?"
The little one, who was just having a great time, froze in place upon hearing the news.
Its big eyes were full of disbelief, and it stretched out its paws to scratch at the ground reluctantly.
"Huh?"
Are you really going? If you're really going to those places, aren't you taking him with you?
The more the little tiger thought about it, the sadder it became. It rolled over and lay there, looking listless. Only its tail, still wrapped around Chu Qing's wrist, remained.
Chu Qing has a great talent for mental strength, and there is also the precedent of improving it later in life. He needs to go to another planet for a check-up soon.
Although Chu Qing felt it had little to do with his physical condition, he couldn't be bothered to refuse since it was someone else's request.
Meanwhile, the more mental energy Chu Qing came into contact with recently, the stronger his sense of unease became. He always felt that this thing should not be like this, or that there was a completely different way of it in his own hands.
"I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
After receiving the promise from his father, the little tiger turned and glanced at his father again.
Wei Yutang didn't immediately realize what the little guy meant, and reached out to pat him.
Not only did the father refuse, but he also tried to rub the tiger's head. The little tiger quickly dodged to the side when his hand touched it, and scratched it slightly in anger.
"Awoo!"
The little tiger with its fur standing on end looked adorable, and it would be a bit impolite of Wei Yutang not to understand what it was trying to say.
"I will finish my mission as soon as possible, and then we can go out and have fun together."
Having received promises from both his father and father, the little tiger was finally satisfied. He let out a soft hum and saw his nanny passing by. He called to her to carry him to bed.
A while has passed since he finished eating, and he also needs to take a shower later, so the timing is just right.
...
This time, it was rare that both of them had things to do, so they had to leave their baby at home. Chu Qing kept thinking about the baby the whole time she went there.
My mind is filled with thoughts of what might happen to Xiaxia at home. Perhaps when that little tiger is bored, it can only curl up alone in a corner and think of its father.
It should have taken about half a month, but because Chu Qing cooperated actively, it only took a week for him to quickly return.
He returned quietly, without telling anyone beforehand, intending to give his son a surprise.
In kindergarten, Xiaxia was always the most well-behaved and obedient one. The teachers were very willing to trust him and entrusted him with many tasks, making him a true leader among the children.
After class that day, after saying goodbye to my good friends, I tried to find the nanny at the kindergarten gate.
Before I even saw the person, I heard a very familiar voice calling my name.
"Xiaxia, over here."
Chu Qing stepped forward, picked up the little boy who looked a bit confused with his backpack, gently rubbed his head, and asked with a smile:
What are you thinking about?
"Huh?"
The familiar scent wafted to his nose first, and the little tiger excitedly nuzzled his father, clinging tightly to his arm with his paws, his tail wagging incessantly with excitement.
"I just finished my work and came back."
Chu Qing briefly explained to Zai Zai that although he felt Zai Zai should be happy to be back early, he had mentioned the departure time to Zai Zai beforehand.
In order to avoid losing the trust of the child, Chu Qing still had to make things clear to him.
The little tiger nodded to indicate that he understood. As he nestled in his father's arms, his eyes darted around, wondering if his father would cook him delicious food like before when he came back this time.
"I've asked the housekeeper to prepare the ingredients so I can cook you dinner tonight."
After Chu Qing saw through his thoughts, she pinched his furry paw and made a promise.
He wasn't too tired this time. Even if he were, he would be happy to cook another meal. Every time he saw the greedy little tiger looking like he wanted to swallow the plate whole, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
The greatest affirmation and reward for the cook is probably when the people who eat the food are happy.
The day after Chu Qing arrived home, she received an email from Wei Yutang. Following his instructions, she organized some data and sent it over.
He had no intention of hiding his talents, and after Wei Yutang realized Chu Qing's excellence, he was very willing to entrust him with some tasks.
Chu Qing is probably the only person in the world he is willing to trust unconditionally.
Chu Qing wasn't the type to stay at home doing nothing; he might be lazy sometimes, but he always kept in mind the purpose of his visit.
Wei Yutang is his target, as he can increase his mission completion rate.
According to his observations, Wei Yutang probably preferred the type of person who could stand at the same level as him and fight alongside him.
Chu Qing knew nothing about matters of the heart; everything was just his guess.
To ensure the mission's success, he chose to employ a two-pronged approach.
She is so outstanding and powerful that she can accomplish many things with Wei Yutang, and at the same time, she can wash her hands and cook a delicious meal, raising the little tiger into a round and chubby cub.
Chapter 101
Before Wei Yutang returned, the Chu family came to the door. Although they were stopped at the outside and could not enter, due to their status, someone still came over and spoke to Chu Qing.
"Sir, would you like to see me?"
Before Chu Qing could answer, the little tiger shook his head on behalf of his father.
He still remembered how these people had treated his father badly before. Even if his father wanted to see them, they wouldn't. If his father had actually dared to go out and see them, he would have been lying on the carpet crying his eyes out.
"No, it doesn't matter anymore."
"Yes, sir."
The place they live in now is probably the best place they've ever been in compared to before.
Everyone respects Chu Qing's ideas, and because of the special nature of their residence, outsiders are generally not allowed to come. Even if they have Chu Qing's permission, they still need to go through a very strict screening process.
"Don't worry, I won't go."
After refusing, Chu Qing reached out and ruffled Xia Xia's hair.
The little guy patted his chest with his furry hands. He was no longer the toothless little tiger he used to be. As long as his father was there, he would do his best to protect him.
"My baby is so good."
The little tiger was so happy after being praised by his father that his tail was practically sticking up in the air. He rolled over, revealing his fluffy belly, indicating that his father could pet him now.
On the other side, Chu's mother did not give up even after being rejected.
They spent a lot of money to resolve that last incident, and it took them a lot of effort; they lost most of their assets in the process.
Mechs are too expensive for any ordinary family, even if they are well-off. For example, Wei Yutang needed the Empire to provide him with mechs, let alone ordinary families like theirs.
Chu Ming's mental strength has malfunctioned again, and it would be too difficult to find someone to help him heal. Even if they sold all their assets, they might not be able to cure him.
Under these circumstances, Chu's mother thought of Chu Qing.
When Chu Qing was hospitalized in a coma while trying to treat Wei Yutang's illness, Chu's mother was secretly pleased, thinking that it would be best if he never woke up.
Instead of falling into a complete coma, he was promoted because of this accident, and the imperial media did not hesitate to report on it extensively.
If Chu Qing is willing to help, then all this money can be saved, and perhaps her son will also benefit from this misfortune, just like Chu Qing.
Although Chu Qing did not go to see her, he still had someone inquire about the reason.
Given the personalities of the original owner's biological parents, he didn't think they would come knocking on his door for no reason.
The result did not disappoint Chu Qing. As expected, Chu Ming wanted to do something, but unexpectedly, due to his lack of proficiency, his mental strength was damaged.
Chu Qing didn't want to help; his current state wasn't as relaxed as others might assume.
Mental power is even more complex than the human brain. He needs to expend a great deal of energy to treat each patient, and the most serious time he almost collapsed from exhaustion.
When those people are good enough to deserve his help, Chu Qing will not complain even if it is a little hard.
But Chu Ming is different; Chu Qing is not yet at the point where he can calmly repay evil with good.
That evening, he told Wei Yutang about it, and Wei Yutang was also somewhat angry after hearing it.
