The little kid was acting cute towards him.
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but touch his wrist and took off a watch, placing it on the table.
Add a little something extra.
Pei Dundun, completely unaware, ran to the next uncle and adorably poured wine.
Entertaining guests was so simple. Just replace the milk bottle with a wine bottle, and it’s just like a little boy on the street with a milk bottle.
Dad said, don’t make trying to stop a fight look like you’re fueling it.
Pei Dundun thought carefully and felt that this time he hadn’t made any mistakes.
First, he asked if they wanted to drink, then he poured the wine. The uncles didn’t fight after drinking.
This kid was really likable; who could refuse becoming his number one uncle?
After a round, there were five watches, two jade pendants, and nine car keys on the table.
Oh well, since one couldn’t drive after drinking anyway, what’s wrong with letting their nephew take their car keys?
Pei Dundan played as a support for the second time, and the opponent’s fully leveled, pay-to-win equipment fell all over the ground.
The uncle with the weakest alcohol tolerance dizzily pulled out a seal: “Uncle really doesn’t have any more...”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Yuan Hu helped him tuck the seal back into his briefcase; it was clear he had just come from signing a contract.
Lu Qin was a bit speechless and tried to bring up, “About the land in Xicheng...”
Someone beside the sofa responded, “Take it.”
They’re all drunk. Let’s see them off.
Meanwhile, Pei Dundun, who tried hard to appear sensible, tired himself out and fell asleep in his father’s arms.
Just like that?
Lu Qin’s imagined scenario of the baby crying at night didn’t happen at all. While proud, he also felt a bit disappointed that he couldn’t use this as an opportunity to encourage Dundun to call Pei Rong.
He placed Pei Dundun on his bed and couldn’t help but laugh when thinking about the luxury items that his friends had given the time.
The next day, his friends, now sober, all started paying money to redeem their items.
Sigh, those are all things they’ve used. Having ten or eight cars parked at Lu’s place will just turn them into junk. It’s better to get paid for them.
Madam Jiang arrived with a suitcase, and upon entering, immediately smelled a faint scent of red wine. There were empty wine bottles piled up on the coffee table, and she frowned. “You have a child and yet you’re letting people drink at home so late at night? How can anyone sleep with such noise?”
Lu Qin avoided discussing how this ‘drinking party’ came to be, protecting the child, saying, “They want to come and see Dundun, I can’t stop them.”
Madam Jiang thought of her grandson and somewhat understood, saying, “This shouldn’t set a precedent.”
“Has Dundun woken up?”
“He slept late last night; I haven’t called him to get up yet.”
Madam Jiang recalled asking about Dundun’s forehead injury yesterday, how the situation was behind the gauze, whether it was inflamed. Dundun seemed puzzled and just patted the gauze, telling her, “Dundun is fine, no pain, no need to change the dressing.”
The gauze was wrapped so professionally, obviously not just a simple bandage; medicine oozed from it, greatly worrying Madam Jiang.
Lu Qin said, “Pei Rong mentioned he’s afraid of going to the hospital, afraid of injections, perhaps thinking changing the dressing requires a hospital visit.”
Madam Jiang said, “In that case, I’ll arrange for a pediatrician and a surgeon to come while Dundun is asleep, at least to change the dressing.”
Lu Qin replied, “That’s exactly what I had in mind.”
Pei Dundun wiped his sweat while opening a bottle of wine, and the gauze became a bit dirty.
Madam Jiang promptly hired two doctors on leave, carrying medical kits, to arrive at the Lu household.
The bedroom was carpeted, and no one made a sound.
The cat jumped onto the bed, lowering its body and emitting a low growl as a warning.
Lu Qin “shushed” and gently tapped Dundun’s forehead, saying, “Dundun is injured. Let’s have the doctor take a look.”
The cat seemed to understand and yet not understand, sitting vigilantly on the side, watching the doctor’s movements. Gradually, it lowered its guard.
The pediatrician, accustomed to unreasonable parents who spoil their children, was changing the dressing while being glared at fiercely by a cat.
Thinking of Madam Jiang’s worried look, he held his breath and carefully peeled off the medical tape.
The surgeon leaned over to see if there were any stitches inside.
Madam Jiang’s heart was in her throat; this lovely, clean child mustn’t suffer needlessly.
Then... they all fell silent.
The pediatrician said, “The swelling should naturally subside; in another day or two, you won’t see any signs of swelling.”
The surgeon said, “The adhesive tape is not breathable; I suggest leaving it as is.”
What a waste of salary.
Lu Qin saw his son’s complete face for the first time and fell into deep thought.
From small clues, his intuition suggested that there was something amiss.
He woke his son up: “It’s eight o’clock, get up and eat. Today, Dad is taking you to the amusement park.”
Pei Dundun groggily opened his eyes and instinctively rolled into his father’s arms. After a moment, he remembered this wasn’t the same father.
What did Daddy Lu say? Amusement park?
Ah, would Dad secretly come to see him?
Lu Qin put the clothes beside the bed and said in his usual tone, “Dundun, dress yourself. Dad is going to check if the steamed egg custard is ready.”
He went out, closed the door, and stood for a while.
Dundun would probably report his whereabouts to Pei Rong, right?
The amusement park was crowded. Pei Rong would come and secretly look at the child, right?
Then... see you at the amusement park.
