DTBS - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Children Love to Watch

"Qinqin?" Tao Qiuyun poked the little cat who was spacing out. "What's wrong? I said I would discuss it with your Qingshang Mama."

She took off Tao Aiqin's white cat backpack, stroked her little head, and said with a smile, "Go play on the swing with Mengmeng first."

"Okay~" The little cat nodded and pulled Meng Huashi towards the swing.

Watching her daughter happily playing with her friend, Tao Qiuyun felt her mood lift considerably. She took out her phone and sent a message to Qin Qingshang:

【Tao Qiuyi: Wife, if you're free, could you give me a call? I want to talk to you about Qinqin on the phone】

Not long after sending the WeChat message, Qin Qingshang's call came in. "Qiuqiu, what's wrong? Is Qinqin unwilling?"

If her daughter wasn't willing, she wouldn't force her. In fact, she had considered whether or not to expose Qinqin to the camera. Getting attention too early had both pros and cons, and she didn't want her daughter to be judged and pointed at by a crowd.

"Qingshang," Tao Qiuyun led the big dog closer to Tao Aiqin, secretly observing the two little ones playing. "It's like this, Qinqin said if she participates, she hopes we can bring Mengmeng along too. They are good friends and definitely want to play together every day."

"Mengmeng? That makes sense, they really like staying and playing together. If Qinqin takes so much time off school, Mengmeng will definitely be sad. Qiuqiu, I'll ask the director later. If the director agrees, then Mengmeng's mother will also need to be informed."

"Okay," Tao Qiuyun agreed, listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, her expression softening. She asked with concern, "Qingshang, take care of yourself, don't get too tired filming."

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself. Oh, right!" Qin Qingshang suddenly remembered. "Qiuqiu, why did you suddenly arrange bodyguards for me? I was going to ask you, will they affect me?"

"No, they will follow your arrangements and won't bother you normally," Tao Qiuyun paused, then decided to speak. "Didn't you say Jiang Lihe looked for you? I was afraid you'd be harassed by him. If there are bodyguards nearby, he won't dare do anything."

"Okay," the little cat nodded. "Then if Jiang Lihe appears, I'll bring the bodyguards. Other times, you can't have them surrounding me, it's very uncomfortable!"

"They are your bodyguards, naturally you call the shots."

"Alright, that's it then. I need to run lines with Teacher Ming. I'll call you back after the director replies to me."

"Okay."

"We're saying goodbye, why aren't you saying something nice?" Qin Qingshang was a little dissatisfied. "Just one word, that's too perfunctory. Bad review, say it again!"

"…Qingshang, since I'm back in Tianhua, why don't I contact workers now to replace the study door? It should be done just in time for your return."

"How dare you!" The little cat was angry, her face red. "Tao Qiuyun! You are not allowed to touch the furniture or decorations at home in the future. I must be the one to decide these things, do you hear me?"

Last time, Tao Qiuyun just bought a rug and pinned her down on it until she was disoriented. If she actually listened to her and replaced the glass door of the study, she might be stir-fried by her all night!

Who wants to do it with her in such weird places? She wants to lie on the bed! The bed is so great! Soft and comfortable.

"Okay." Tao Qiuyun agreed with a smile.

It's fine, she doesn't have to touch Qin Qingshang's house. She can renovate the one in West Wind Courtyard.

Director He Zhiwei quickly forwarded his friend's reply to Qin Qingshang. He agreed to bring Mengmeng along, but if Qin Qingshang was really planning to participate, he was currently in Mingyang, and if there was a chance, he hoped to meet the two children first.

It was already night when Qin Qingshang's video call came in. Tao Qiuyun was playing a puzzle with the little cat. She held her soft daughter in her arms, sat cross-legged on the floor, placed her phone on a stand, and clicked on the video call. "Come, Qinqin, look at Mama."

"Mama~" The little one's voice was sweet.

"My baby is so good!" Qin Qingshang was also happy to see her daughter and leaned closer to the camera. "Were you obedient to Qiuqiu Mama at home?"

"Qiuqiu Mama was very obedient, she didn't go to the kitchen to cook." The little cat said seriously.

"Woof woof woof!" Big Bold bit her pant leg!

"You really know how to tease people," Tao Qiuyun pinched Tao Aiqin's face and looked at the phone screen. "Qingshang, are you getting ready for bed?"

"Yeah, tomorrow's scene is very early," Qin Qingshang nodded, putting on a stern look. "You should also take Qinqin to bed early, children shouldn't stay up late."

"Qinqin will supervise the bad guy!" The little cat clenched her paws.

"Who's supervising whom?" Tao Qiuyun couldn't help but laugh, lifting the little cat in her arms and threatening her, "If you call me a bad guy again, I'll make you eat the food I cook."

"Wuwuwu!" The soft little one struggled, looking at the phone for help. "Mama save me, the bad guy wants to poison me!"

"At your young age, you even know what 'poison' means?" Tao Qiuyun hugged her back into her arms, kissed her fiercely, then looked at Qin Qingshang, who was covering her mouth and laughing. "Did the director reply to you?"

"He replied," Qin Qingshang watched her daughter desperately trying to climb towards the phone but being pulled back, the bright smile on her lips growing wider. "The director said he wants to meet Qinqin and Mengmeng first, but he's in Mingyang. Didn't you say you'd come to Mingyang after you finished handling things? When will that be? You can bring Qinqin and Mengmeng then, and we can meet the director together."

"Wu Hu and the others are on a plane tomorrow morning," Tao Qiuyun looked at the little cat who had given up escaping and was quietly playing with the puzzle again. "I can have him take Qinqin and Mengmeng over first. I'll talk to the school. As for me… it might take a while longer. I hope it can end this week, otherwise, the entire conference in Mingyang will have to trouble Secretary Zheng."

Fang Yu found some things. Shi Beng indeed had issues and involved some innocent and pitiful people. She wanted to follow up and see if she could help in any way.

"Okay, then don't work too hard either. You need to balance work and rest, and eat on time," Qin Qingshang instructed. "You need to report your dishes every day so I know you're eating well."

"Okay," Tao Qiuyun smiled, staring at the barefaced actress in the camera. "Are you that afraid I'll starve?"

"Hmph! I'm your wife, if I don't care about you, who will!" The little cat was proud.

"I'm very hungry right now, Qingshang," Tao Qiuyun's gaze was deep. "After you finish filming this movie, let's have a wedding, go on a honeymoon, and spend some good time with me, okay?"

"What are you saying in front of our daughter!" The little cat's face instantly turned red. "Qinqin is still young, how can she hear these things!"

Qin Qingshang looked at her daughter's pure and clear eyes, her cheeks flushing with shyness…

Tao Qiuyun is really something. Is she hinting that after this drama is filmed, she will let herself and her… honeymoon? Or do honeymoon?

Tao Aiqin blinked, as if she didn't understand anything, but her mind was already on the highway: "Holy crap, Sys, they really aren't avoiding me at all!"

System: "A five-year-old child, what can she understand?"

"It's precisely because Qinqin is still young," Tao Qiuyun lowered her head to look at the little cat playing with the puzzle. "She doesn't know anything, Qingshang…"

The woman picked up her phone, brought it closer to herself, and whispered, "I miss you so much, I want to hear your voice."

"I, I'm talking right now~" With only Tao Qiuyun in her sight, Qin Qingshang felt even shyer.

It felt like going back to the time when she talked remotely with Qiuqiu, except this time, her daughter was listening nearby.

Hmm, she needs to be mindful of the boundaries! Can't say everything like before.

"You know, I mean… I want to hear the voice only I can hear." Tao Qiuyun's gaze was burning, her voice gentle and delicate, carrying an indescribable emotion and hint.

"I knew you couldn't sit still!" The woman glared at her, bit her red lip lightly, and slowly reached out to unbutton her pajama top.

Her hair hung low, half-covering her face, making her look both revealing and reserved, restrained and indulgent.

Tao Qiuyun, however, found Qin Qingshang's shy and timid expression captivating and soul-stirring, her breathing instantly becoming heavier.

Tao Aiqin was clearly the first to notice. She secretly looked back and could only see the woman's fair neck. She seemed to swallow with restraint, as if adjusting her emotions.

Tao Aiqin: "Holy crap! Sys! I've accumulated good deeds for so many years, and finally received the reward I deserve!"

System: "This… this… is this something we can watch for free?"

"Qiuqiu," Qin Qingshang's voice was moving, and the way she lay half-covered was even more pitifully charming. "Does it sound good?"

"It sounds good," the woman stared at her, seeing only her in her eyes. "They say wire work hurts the waist and legs, Qingshang, I want to see if you're injured."

Hearing this serious tone of concern, Tao Aiqin exclaimed, "Holy moly! My CEO mom is so good at this! She clearly wants to see someone else's thighs and waist, but she says it so… high-sounding!"

System: "She really is the villain, she only knows how to bully the female lead!"

"Did you see?" The woman lay on the hotel bed, her cheeks pink. "Qiuqiu, want to see inside?"

"Wait a moment," Tao Qiuyun lowered her eyebrows and held her breath, getting up with the little cat in her arms. "I'll take Qinqin to bed first."

Tao Aiqin: "?"

System: "?"

"Wuwu," the little one whimpered, hitting her with her paws. "I don't want to sleep! I don't want to sleep!"

"Be good, it's time for you to sleep." Tao Qiuyun was firm. How much strength could a kitten have? She didn't even need to use much force, easily carrying the disobedient little cat back to the room.

"No no! Bad guy! I don't want to sleep!"

Wuwuwu, let me listen! Let me listen! I earned this by my own ability!

Tao Qiuyun coldly and heartlessly pressed her daughter onto the bed, tucked her in, and instructed Big Bold to keep an eye on her before turning around and walking out the door.

Her steps were faster than usual, looking eager.

"Qiuqiu, it's so hot here~"

Qin Qingshang in the camera seemed to know her daughter was gone, so she no longer hid anything, letting the spring scenery pour out, her willow waist and flower-like posture fully displayed. "Am I injured?"

"Perhaps," Tao Qiuyun stared at her. "Come closer, I can't see clearly."

"…Can you see clearly now?"

"Yes."

"Don't be so serious, say something flirty."

"Peaches ashamed, apricots yielding, luscious and dripping… Qingshang, how about you rub it?"

"You're so bad! Ah~"

"Congratulations to System 030's Host for achieving [Within Reach]…"

Tao Aiqin couldn't listen to the System's broadcast anymore. The little cat was sitting on the bed, punching the pillow:

"Damn it, damn it! Who wants to see mosaics! Wuwuwuwu…"

System comforted her: "Um, this time's CG, the main system doesn't seem to have censored it."

"Really?" Tao Aiqin instantly regained her energy and clicked on the CG image:

It was a dual perspective. The screen was divided in half by a diagonal line. Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang were both lying on their sides in bed, covered by blankets, holding their phones. Especially with their hair spread on the pillows, the composition made it look as if their hair was intertwined. And their faces both carried the same blush of arousal and… discomfort.

Not doing is better than doing!

Help! Main System! How are you so good?

Please, show me more of these, the child loves to watch!
