The two discussed the time, and Fang Yong said goodbye and left. Li Qing took advantage of her rare half day leisure to take care of her baby son.

But when he entered the room, Ning manxuan had arrived first.

"Hmm?" Li Qing turned her head and looked at the door. "When did you come back?"

"Early this morning, Anqing sent me back, and then she went to work. The decoration is coming to an end, so I have to stare." Ning manxuan blinked her beautiful eyes, then raised her jade hand and made a silent gesture, "simu is sleeping, keep your voice down."

"Still sleeping? Is this little thing stupid?" Li Qing pulled at the corners of her mouth, walked to Ning manxuan and stared at Li simu in her arms. "No wonder he slept so comfortably."

"What do you mean?"

Li Qing smiled: "if I lie in your arms, I will sleep soundly."

"I'm not serious..." Ning manxuan raised her pretty face and couldn't help looking at Li Qing, "are you jealous of your son?"

"It's really a little." Li Qing nodded, sat down next to Ning manxuan and said with a smile, "I find you are quite suitable to be a nanny for my son. Otherwise, don't go back and stay in my house. Since you have this talent, you have to carry it forward and don't waste it."

Ning manxuan snorted angrily: "you really can boast..."

"Of course, I boast that people have always been so sincere." Li Qing smiled and stretched out his hand, "give me a hug for a while."

Ning manxuan looked incredulous: "can you?"

"Don't worry, this is my son."

"Oh." Ning manxuan carefully handed the little simu in her arms to Li Qing, "be careful."

As a result, as soon as the little guy was hugged by Li Qing, he burst into tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry, good... I'm your father..."

On weekdays, xiaosimu, who likes to sleep, randomly pedaled and planed in Li Qing's arms, and finally pedaled on Li Qing's chin.

"Ouch, it's not too strong." Li Qing suddenly took a puff from the corner of his mouth and whispered, "it may not be his own..."

"What nonsense? If Qiuqiu listens, she won't clean you up..." Ning manxuan glared at him and stretched out his hands to pick up xiaosimu, "you'd better give it to me."

Li Qing had no choice but to return the child.

Ning manxuan coaxed the child and grumbled: "you're not at home for three or two days. Of course, the baby doesn't recognize his father. Look for the reason from yourself and think about why."

Li Qing nodded honestly like a pupil who had made a mistake: "yes, yes..."

"Good boy, don't cry..."

Xiao simu's cry stopped, then suddenly stretched out his fleshy little hand and grabbed it at Ning manxuan's chest.

"Hey..." Ning manxuan blushed. "I'm not your mother. I don't have milk to feed you."

Ning manxuan got up, took Xiao simu to the door and called the nanny in: "he may be hungry. You can make him some milk powder."

The nanny nodded and took the child.

Ning manxuan turned her head and asked Li Qing, "I'm going to see the decoration progress. Will you follow me? Qiuqiu hasn't had time to take care of this matter. As customers, you have to be careful."

"OK, I'll go with you." Li Qing stood up and walked out with Ning manxuan.

The two chatted all the way and went to the dome villa in front.

Turning around a small flower bed, Li Qing's cell phone suddenly rang.

"You answer the phone, I'll go first." Ning manxuan said and left first.

"HMM." Li Qing nodded, took out his cell phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button, "I'm Li Qing."

"Mr. Li, this is Hu Meng."

"Ah, what's the matter?"

Meng Zi said with a smile on the phone, "remember I mentioned that Southeast Asian friend to you yesterday morning? Her name is fan Huilan."

"Have you arrived yet?"

"Yes, Ms. fan arrived at Mingtai last night, and then called to tell me to pick her up at 8 a.m. today." Mengzi glanced through the endoscope in the car and glanced at fan Huilan sitting in the back seat with a shallow smile on her mouth, "I've received Ms. fan now. She's in my car. I'm driving to escort her to the north of Hong Kong as instructed by boss Qian. I'm expected to arrive at one or two o'clock in the afternoon."

Li Qing's eyes coagulated slightly: "very good, I need her very much now."

"Mr. Li, where can we meet you more conveniently?"

Li Qingsi measured it for a moment and then said, "come directly to canglan manor. I'll wait for you here."

"OK."

"Well, let's do it first. Call me when you arrive."

"Yes."

Li Qing hung up and breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope it can come in handy."

After receiving the call, Li Qing went to the decoration site. He was quite satisfied with the decoration design completed by Ning manxuan and the current implementation effect, especially the secret part of the basement.

The two people then exchanged the design scheme. Near noon, they had lunch together.

At 1:10 p.m., Li Qing received the second call from Mengzi.

"Mr. Li, we'll be there in five minutes."

"OK, I'll ask someone to let you in." Li Qing hung up his cell phone, picked up the microphone on the table and called the security room at the gate of the manor. "A car from Mingtai will arrive in a moment. That's my guest. You let it in and take people to the study."

"Yes."

Li Qing put down the microphone and stood up from the sofa.

Ning manxuan raised her pretty face: "what's up?"

"Well, something."

"I heard you just said on the phone that you came from Mingtai?"

"Yes, old money."

"Male or female?" Ning manxuan felt very busy, and was embarrassed to spit powder tongue. "Sorry, I'm too wide. I'm a little curious because I heard that she came from Mingtai."

"Don't say that. It's too out of sight." Li Qing grinned and leaned down slightly to stare at Ning manxuan's bright eyes. "I heard it's a woman. Do you want to see it?"

"Does it look good?"

"Well... I don't know," Li Qing shook his head and immediately smiled, "are you interested in beautiful women, too?"

Ning manxuan's small head tilted: "yes, so Qiuqiu is my dish."

Li Qing directly blackened his face: "I warn you, don't make any more ideas about my wife. You two women... Don't fit."

Ning manxuan giggled at his embarrassed appearance and waved his hand carelessly: "come on, don't you have anything else? But I can warn you. I'll go to your study to get the budget list later, don't let me catch you..."

Li Qing shrugged his shoulder: "what if you bump into it?"

Ning manxuan and Qiong wrinkled their noses, raised their jade arms and waved a powder fist in a demonstration. Li Qing turned around with a smile and went out.

He crossed several paths until he came to the door of the study and pushed open the door.

Canglan manor was rebuilt, and later Ning manxuan did the second decoration. Now this part of the project has been completed, and everything is brand-new.

The light in the room was bright, which was very different from the darkness and thickness of the old study of the Li family residence. The new tables and chairs are still shining brightly, which makes Li Qing uncomfortable.

Li Qing walked around the room, reached out and knocked on the large table, turned around and looked at the spacious space, couldn't help nodding gently: "this area... It's enough to have a small ball."

He picked up the bill Fang Yong put down yesterday on the table. As soon as he turned a page, he heard footsteps outside the door.

Li Qing walked quickly to the door. He saw a fierce son and a tall, thin old woman, accompanied by several Li's bodyguards.

The woman was plainly dressed, with a thick scarf around her neck and an old suitcase in her hand. Roughly, her age should be between fifty and sixty.

Li Qing stared at her and looked at her carefully. She had to admit that the woman's figure remained very good, but the traces of years were too obvious on the wrinkled cheek with the corners of her eyes.

"Mr. Li." the fierce son came near, leaned slightly towards Li Qing, and then introduced, "this is Ms. fan Huilan."

Li Qing pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth: "Hello, Ms. fan."

The woman stared at Li Qing for a long time. Her eyes were filled with inexplicable looks. Finally, she gently clicked her chin and slowly opened her mouth: "hello."

Li Qing turned and made a gesture of invitation: "come and sit in the house."

"Thank you." the fierce son said thanks, followed by fan Huilan behind Li Qing and walked into the study together.

Seeing Li Qing sitting down, the fierce son sat on one side and held his breath. But fan Huilan seems to be quite curious about Li Qing. She can't stop looking around. She doesn't look like an elderly woman at all.

The servant brought the tea. The servant took the cup and blew it. Then he took a big sip.

He put down his tea cup and said, "Mr. Li, I'll be fine if someone brings me here. Boss Qian has something else to do. I'll call the boss later and then go back."

"It's hard for you." Li Qing nodded and then asked, "have you eaten?"

"Ah, we ate some fast food on the way." Meng Zi smiled shyly. "I'm afraid you're in a hurry, so try to come in a hurry."

"Let the kitchen prepare something to eat." Li Qing immediately ordered the servant and turned to look at Mengzi and fan Huilan. "You've worked hard all the way. Eat something first and then talk about other things."

The fierce son smiled and nodded: "thank you, Mr. Li."

"I have no appetite." fan Huilan answered directly, as if she didn't intend to give Li Qing face at all.

The so-called strange people and scholars in the Jianghu, regardless of their abilities, are often eccentric and unreasonable, so Li Qing doesn't care.
