Chapter 283: Lost Goose, Recovered
Chapter 283
To look at houses, Li Yao took her to the VIP sales center of Yunjin Real Estate a day later returning to the drama crew, where they received dedicated service.
They also went to see the houses on site. The location, unit types, and sizes did meet her satisfaction. The salesperson also took them to visit a sample unit of an unsold phase, which had similar layouts and sizes. Although the decor was not what she wanted, it gave her a good feeling.
Yunjin had always been well-known in the industry for protecting privacy and safety.
"Ms. Qin Wei, Yunjin welcomes your move-in wholeheartedly. If you are satisfied too, please sign the documents. The salesperson, property manager and your broker will handle the rest of the procedures."
Holding the purchase agreement, Qin Wei silently counted the zeros on it, then said to Li Yao:
"I think we should talk privately."
...
In the afternoon when she returned to the set, Qin Wei still had two more scenes to shoot. While Xiao Yan was doing her makeup in the dressing room, she heard Li Liang push the door open while talking to someone on the phone.
"Sis, Brother Dou is here to see you."
Right after Li Liang spoke, Hong Dou's sweet voice came:
"Auntie let me go, I want my sis! Sis! Sis sis sis sis!"
Qin Wei sighed. Ever since he disapproved of her last time, her seniority went down again.
Oh well it still sounds young to be called sis!
"Brother Dou you're here!"
Qin Wei asked Xiao Yan to wait and got up to hug Hong Dou. Hong Dou was also super happy to see her. He stuffed his little backpack into her arms.
"I've got candy and rice cakes for you. I promised auntie not to eat them so I could get them to give to you. Take them and don't be petty!"
"You mean I shouldn't stand on ceremony?"
Qin Wei opened the little backpack. Indeed, it was full of goodies.
The auntie looked at Hong Dou affectionately but also a bit apologetic. She said to Qin Wei:
"Ms. Qin, I'm so sorry to disturb you. Red Bean's been talking about missing you after going home. It's been hard to pacify him these two days. He even cried this morning when he heard he could come to see you. He was so happy he skipped his nap."
Qin Wei hugged Hong Dou and gently pinched his soft little cheeks, "I'm happy to see Brother Dou too. I thought his scenes were over and I wouldn't get to see him again. I hadn't heard him crying on set these days so I kind of missed him too."
Hong Dou looked up at her earnestly, "Then let's go to the set. I'll cry as soon as I get in."
Qin Wei laughed, "That won't be necessary, but I can carry you for a walk. Su Yang and Daniel are there too. You can cry towards them."
...
The little devil prince's arrival put everyone on edge. They got in positions and checked the equipment, but luckily Qin Wei was also there, and the little devil prince seemed to be in a good mood this time. Everyone hoped he wouldn't stir up any trouble...
"Su Yang, your little brother is here..."
As soon as she entered the studio carrying Hong Dou, she saw Su Yang getting touchups. Her smile faded upon seeing his chin injured.
"What happened to your chin?"
"It's nothing, just a little accident."
Su Yang brushed it off, then he looked at Hong Dou and reached out,
But...
"Qin Wei, who're you calling a dog? Where'd you get this kid..."
Teacher Qiao came inside and closed the door.
Realizing Teacher Qiao didn't have scenes with the child actor so it was normal they didn't know each other, Qin Wei introduced them:
"Teacher Qiao, this is Qin Red Bean. He plays your son in the drama but you don't have scenes together. So he's my son. Don't mind his crying. He's very cute actually."
Teacher Qiao stared at Hong Dou. Under her gaze, Hong Dou's cries faded until he stopped.
"Qin Red Bean?"
Teacher Qiao narrowed her eyes, confirming again,
"You sure his name is Qin Red Bean?"
"Yes, he's my gos..."
"No no, auntie my name is Qiao Ruiyan..."
Hong Dou cut Qin Wei off mid-sentence.
Qin Wei: "??"
...
Hong Dou sat quietly next to Teacher Qiao, facing Qin Wei silently.
Teacher Qiao gently patted his shoulder, "Come on Qiao Ruiyan, introduce yourself to her."
Hong Dou obediently did as told:
"My name is Qiao Ruiyan, two and a half years old. People call me Red Bean... Auntie, I've got nothing else to say. Can she hold me now?"
Teacher Qiao side-glanced at him, "I can hold you just fine too."
Hong Dou pushed her hand away, on the verge of tears again,
"Wahhh auntie, there's always someone willing to hug you. Can't you just give way..."
Then he cried, arms stretched towards Qin Wei wanting her to carry him.
Their month together wasn't for naught. They had some real bonds.
Qin Wei got up, walked around Teacher Qiao, and took Hong Dou into her embrace.
Teacher Qiao was a little miffed, "Let my nephew go."
Qin Wei patiently explained,
"When a child wants to hug me, I'll never be the first to let go.
He's shown me his fragile side. Of course I'll hug him tight."
Teacher Qiao: "..."
Though she didn't say it aloud, Qin Wei was a little pumped that she managed to turn the tables and won Teacher Qiao from such a disadvantaged position!
