As soon as Qin Xiao parked the car, Mianmian opened the door and ran out. Qin Xiao quickly followed suit. Mianmian ran straight towards Xiao Li but slowed down as she got closer, stopping in front of her. First, she called out "Mom," then reached out to touch Xiao Li’s belly, "Little sister, have you been good today?" Mianmian wanted a little sister because she thought little brothers weren’t fun; she wanted a fun little sister. Xiao Li replied on behalf of the child inside her, "Sister, we are being very good!" Qin Xiao walked over and took Xiao Li’s hand from Aunt Wu. Seeing Qin Xiao supporting Xiao Li, Aunt Wu stepped back automatically. Xiao Li asked softly, "Did the teacher say anything today?" Qin Xiao shook his head, "Nothing special, just talked about the children’s usual behavior." When Xiao Li heard nothing special, she nodded slightly. Nothing special was good; she’d rather avoid anything unusual. It’s best to have fewer instances where parents are called unexpectedly.

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow; lately, the child had been watching TV quite a bit, "How long has he been watching? His eyes..." Xiao Li shook her head, "When you left, he started watching, but stopped for half an hour in between. I didn’t let him watch continuously. I’ll tell him to stop watching once we go inside." Qin Xiao nodded, and they went into the villa. But as soon as they entered, Xiaoli had already turned off the TV and was playing with the Lu Ban Lock nearby. This child always acts so mature, not like a child. Qin Xiao supported Xiao Li to sit on the sofa and rest; she had been walking for a while, and her feet were quite tired. Aunt Wu went into the kitchen to help the chef prepare the dinner to be served. Mianmian first took her backpack up to her upstairs room, then ran back downstairs. In the living room, Qin Xiao was massaging Xiao Li’s calf while Mianmian ran over and grabbed the remote, turning on the TV. As she was changing channels, when she reached the entertainment channel, the names mentioned by the host made Qin Xiao’s ears perk up. However, he didn’t ask Mianmian to tune back to it, nor did he stop his actions, continuing to massage Xiao Li’s calf. After a while, the family went to have dinner, followed by their usual post-meal walk before returning upstairs. Once the two children were settled, Xiao Li lay in bed resting, and Qin Xiao took his phone to sit on the bed and check the latest news about Shao Gu. More accurately, he was checking news related to Cai Ying. Xiao Li was reading a book. Seeing Qin Xiao checking the news, she leaned over to look too, "Uncle, isn’t this Cai Ying the mother of Shao Yang from Mianmian’s class? What’s happening with her?" Qin Xiao said flatly, "Cheating during marriage!" So far, Cai Ying hadn’t reacted publicly, and there was no concrete evidence revealed amidst the released photos, but Qin Xiao was sure Cai Ying had indeed cheated. Some things are obvious; you don’t need much evidence. Qin Xiao didn’t care whether Cai Ying cheated; he only cared about how this would affect Shao Gu. Because it would influence his decision on whether or not to invest in Shao Gu’s new movie. Xiao Li glanced at the news for a moment and lost interest. Gossip from the entertainment circle was different every day, and she didn’t care for it. If it weren’t for Uncle checking, she wouldn’t have bothered looking at such news. It’s strange, Uncle doesn’t usually pay attention to entertainment news, why was he looking now? Seeming to sense Xiao Li’s curiosity, Qin Xiao explained before she could ask, "Whenever I go to pick up Mianmian, I occasionally run into Shao Gu. He’s quite discerning, making his presence known without getting too close to be annoying, so he seems like a decent person. I had someone investigate, and his directing skills are decent, just that he hasn’t come upon a good topic and hasn’t gotten proper investments for it. Without funds, he couldn’t hire good actors, so he hasn’t made a big hit yet. This time, I heard he’s planning to shoot a new movie. I had someone check it out, and the theme is good. As long as funds are adequate and actors are in place, it’s not hard to make it a hit. I was planning to invest; now it depends on how he handles the news. If he doesn’t handle it well, I might reconsider." Xiao Li was surprised upon hearing this, "Our Qin’s are involved in the film industry too!" Qin Xiao shook his head, "No, Fenghua Film and Television Company is my private enterprise!" Xiao Li was dumbfounded, Uncle has other private enterprises? Seeing her reaction, Qin Xiao lightly flicked her nose, "Are you that surprised that I have private assets? Don’t just ask about me, even Zilong and Qin Zilong have them." Xiao Li frowned, "But I’ve never seen you manage a film company! I’ve only seen you manage the laboratory. I always thought the lab was your main focus. Then again, back in S City, you told me your positions at school and hospital weren’t your primary roles. Later, when you went to the lab, I thought the lab was your main job. Then later, I discovered you were managing our family’s dark web, and thought that was your main role, but now you have private assets. Private assets are still with such a famed film company. What’s exactly your main job then?" Productions from Fenghua Film and Television Company are truly a gold-standard! Xiao Li spoke while staring at Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao cleared his throat and said, "Of course, the dark web is the primary focus for me! Regarding you saying you’ve never seen me manage the film company, that’s simple; just like you don’t need to manage Xiao’s Company. Usually, there’s no need to get involved. This time, because I happened upon Shao Gu, I had people check and came to know about this affair." After hearing Qin Xiao use herself as an example, Xiao Li understood after reflecting on herself. Since Huo Zhi took over Xiao’s Company, Xiao Li hasn’t bothered much, purely waiting for dividends. Uncle could find someone as competent as Huo Zhi for his small company; his own company must have even more impressive people at the helm. Nevertheless, Xiao Li always felt her Uncle was too amazing, like he possessed a Clone Technique. How could one person manage so many things? The key point is that since she became pregnant, Uncle hasn’t gone out much, only staying home to accompany her, and hasn’t been to the study often either! What Xiao Li didn’t know was every time she took a nap, Qin Xiao was in the study, returning before she wakes up, lying beside her. In the evening, Xiao Li usually slept quite early. Once she fell asleep, Qin Xiao would go to the study to busy himself for a while, knowing Xiao Li wouldn’t wake during her initial sleep. Things were managed while Xiao Li slept. Except for urgent situations, Qin Xiao was mostly with her when she was awake, leading Xiao Li to think Qin Xiao wasn’t busy with work at home.
