Chapter 139: Stay Tonight
Tao Qiuyun and Fang Yu were still on their way to the tarmac when a police officer contacted them. Qin Qingshang and the two children had already been rescued by the police. Of course, Wu Hu, who had been stunned by the electric shock, had also woken up. All the kidnappers were apprehended and were on their way to the police station for questioning. Considering it was Mingyang's jurisdiction, they reminded Fang Yu not to interfere too much, assuring him they would handle the matter fairly for the parties involved.
"The efficiency of Mingyang's special bureau," Fang Yu shook his head with a wry smile. "It's really high, I have to admit."
"What's wrong?" Tao Qiuyun looked at him, puzzled. "This is a good thing. The higher the police's efficiency, the better. Why do you look so dejected? Shouldn't you be happier? Could it be... you're competitive about this?"
It was understandable to be competitive with peers in other industries, but for the police profession, shouldn't one be happy for the excellence of their colleagues? It meant society was more stable.
"My cousin is over there. Every time we go home for New Year or family gatherings, everyone sees that she and I are in the same line of work and asks about our jobs. Then she'll mention how many cases Mingyang has solved. Compared to her, I'm just the younger brother... I'm not jealous of her, it's just... I feel so far behind her."
"You are indeed the younger brother," Tao Qiuyun politely hurt—no, comforted him, recalling the woman's appearance. She nodded, "Sister Xiantang is truly impressive. I saw her slaughter a cow when I was little, swift and decisive. But you and she specialize in different areas, so it's not really comparable."
"But her mind really works fast!" Fang Yu sighed. "Anyway, it's mainly because Mingyang's crime rate was high before, and she worked hard. Now Mingyang is so good, thanks to the establishment of the special bureau. Let's not talk about this. Since your wife and child are safe, I won't go to Mingyang. I'm afraid of running into her there."
"You might not even see her if you go to the special bureau. Are you really not going?"
Tao Qiuyun paused, then continued, "But I've always thought it's great that your family originally ran hotels, but ended up with two public servants."
It was truly wonderful that they could both pursue their dreams and do what they wanted.
"My dad has three brothers, so there were many choices," Fang Yu looked at her sympathetically. "Unlike you, you only have one path: inheriting the Tao family."
But unfortunately, he and his eldest sister had already chosen their paths. The pressure on the family fell on the youngest cousin... He heard she was so busy she even broke up with her girlfriend.
How miserable!
"Speaking of which," he said, a little depressed, "How can my dad and my eldest uncle's education level be so different! Look, my dad named me Fang Yu, just flipping through a dictionary casually. But my eldest uncle named his daughter Fang Xiantang, which sounds nice at first listen. I used to not know that character was pronounced the same as '現' (xiàn), I thought it was 'niàn'. I even made a fool of myself in junior high. This is just… infuriating."
"I know you're angry," Tao Qiuyun nodded. "You told me when you were little. You said my name and Qingxiang's name both have three characters, and only yours has two. You even said you wanted to change your name to Fang Duoyu."
"...You really didn't need to bring that up."
The sharp-tongued CEO Tao still ended up dragging her childhood friend, Captain Fang, to Mingyang. It was late at night when they arrived. Qin Qingshang had already taken Qinqin and Mengmeng back to the hotel.
It seemed Mingyang's efficiency in taking statements and providing emotional support was also extremely high.
Fang Yu went to invite his cousin out for a meal and catch up, while Tao Qiuyun headed to Qin Qingshang's hotel. A family of three... well, temporarily four, since Mengmeng had come to play with Qinqin, and as an adult, she had to take responsibility.
"Qingshang, you didn't..."
Almost as soon as the door opened, Tao Qiuyun couldn't help but step forward, then paused her movement to hug. She looked down and saw that it was the little cat who had opened the door for her.
"Qinqin!" The woman bent down and picked up her daughter, checking her thoroughly. "You're not hurt, are you? Where's Mengmeng? You weren't scared, were you?"
"Mengmeng is playing with my puzzle," the little one pointed towards the sofa, then turned and patted Tao Qiuyun's cheek. "Hurry and put me down, or Mengmeng will finish the puzzle! Also, we weren't scared at all~"
"You haven't answered me yet, are you hurt?" Tao Qiuyun closed the door and walked inside with her in her arms. "Where's your Qingshang Mama? Did you go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"With so many questions, which one do you want Qinqin to answer first?" Qin Qingshang, wearing pajamas, walked out from the bathroom. She reached out and took the little cat from Tao Qiuyun's arms. "Don't put so much pressure on a child, she's still so young. I'll answer you."
"Do you know how worried I was?" Tao Qiuyun walked towards her and wrapped her arms tightly around both her and the little cat. "When I received your message, and when I talked to the kidnappers on the phone, do you know how scared I was? Qingshang..."
"It's okay, it's okay," Qin Qingshang patted her back. "Let go of me first, you're going to smother our daughter."
"Sorry," the woman released her hold and stepped back. "I was too emotional, I tried my best to control it."
The little cat's face was red, clearly having been held too tightly...
Tao Aiqin: "I can't take it anymore, Sys, is this the charm of a big sister? How amazing must it feel when my female lead mom buries her face in my chest!"
System was greatly shocked: "You're shameless, you pervert!"
Tao Aiqin: "? No, I'm just making an objective analysis from a bystander's perspective, I'm not bringing any..."
System: "I'm not listening, I'm not listening, you're being a pervert!"
Tao Aiqin: "..."
As Tao Qiuyun spoke, she reached out and held Qin Qingshang's hand. "Let me stay tonight, okay?"
"Qinqin and Mengmeng are here," Qin Qingshang fidgeted, her face red. "And this suite isn't like the one in Linhai with a big bed. The bed here is smaller, it won't work."
Tao Qiuyun was slightly stunned, unsure whether to laugh or what to do. She said helplessly, "Qingshang, I didn't expect you to still be thinking about these things right now? After experiencing something so terrifying, aren't you scared?"
She swore, her "stay tonight" just now was purely because she wanted to stay with her wife and daughter, with absolutely no sexual implication!
Staring at Tao Qiuyun's lips opening and closing, the cat blinked.
Actually, she was scared at first, and also afraid something would happen to her daughter and Mengmeng, but...
Sorry, after that phone call between you and the kidnapper, not only was I not scared, I even wanted to laugh a little.
But seeing the expression on the woman's face, Qin Qingshang knew she couldn't say that. After all, Tao Qiuyun seemed genuinely frightened.
"Qiuqiu," Qin Qingshang put the little cat down from her arms, letting her go play with Meng Huashi. She then stepped forward, tugged at Tao Qiuyun's clothes, shook them, and leaned in close. "I was scared, but then I heard your voice, and I wasn't scared anymore."
Tao Qiuyun's heart softened. Without Tao Aiqin getting in the way, she tightly hugged the woman's waist, kissed her neck, and buried her head. "It's good that you're okay, Qingshang. I don't want there to be a second time. Promise me, don't let the bodyguards be too far from you in the future, okay?"
"Qingshang?"
"Stop rubbing!" Qin Qingshang pinched the clothes at her waist and poked the woman's lower back with her finger. "Your breathing is making me so itchy..."
The little cat, who was slowly moving towards the sofa, instantly perked up her ears!
Tao Aiqin: "System, open the store, buy me a voice amplifier!"
System: "...I already bought one. How about I sell it to you at half price?"
"Good heavens, I knew you weren't a proper system, you wanted to listen too. Give you fifty cents, you rent it to me."
"Fifty cents? Don't be too much! It costs 100 in the store!"
"Then I'll buy it from the system store. It's not like I don't have points. I just saw that you already spent the money and thought it's better to keep the benefits within the family, and I can even give you some money."
After a pause, Tao Aiqin continued, "Think about it, if I buy it from the system store, the money goes to the main system. How would you get any benefit? Unlike now, every little bit helps!"
"Then at least round it up, rent it to you for 1 point."
"Deal!" Tao Aiqin was very straightforward.
System: "..."
Something's not right, I think I still lost out. I should have said 10 points.
Hearing those two words from Qin Qingshang's mouth, Tao Qiuyun's breathing hitched. Then the air she exhaled from her nose became hotter. She hugged the cat even tighter. "You're really... are you really that sensitive?"
"You're so annoying," Qin Qingshang punched her lower back. "If you hadn't kept messing with me those two days, would my body react so strongly to you, going soft with just a touch? It's all your fault!"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault," the woman chuckled. Taking advantage of the fact that her back was to the two children, she opened her mouth and bit the cat's ear. After hearing her hum, she asked, "Didn't you just tell me today? You said Ming Siwen could help you look after Qinqin. How about letting Qinqin and Mengmeng go to her place tonight, okay?"
"No!" The cat lightly hummed, softening in her arms. "After Qinqin leaves, you'll definitely start touching and doing things to me again."
"Weren't you just thinking about those things?" Tao Qiuyun negotiated with her. "I'm turning your wish into reality."
"Who said it was my wish," Qin Qingshang disagreed. "It's just that I thought when you said 'stay tonight', you wanted to... that, anyway, it's all your fault!"
"Bad guy," the cat cursed her. "It's all your fault for always thinking about those things, which made me misunderstand."
"But now I am thinking about it, so your misunderstanding isn't a misunderstanding anymore. What should we do?" Tao Qiuyun held her and met her gaze.
"I, I don't know what to do. I still have filming, you can't..."
"Nonsense," the woman kissed her lips, smiling. "You just went through a kidnapping. As long as you tell the director you need rest, he'll definitely give you time off."
"Wuwu, don't kiss me~"
"You just shivered, Qingshang," Tao Qiuyun wrapped one arm around her waist and took out her phone with the other. "Let's send Qinqin and Mengmeng to Ming Siwen early and solve your shivering problem early, isn't that good?"
"Not good," the woman clutched her clothes, her lowered brows and raised eyes full of charm. "You can't solve my shivering problem. You'll only make me... and then I'll shake even more."
"Pushing things to the extreme has the opposite effect," Tao Qiuyun kissed the small mole on her neck. "I promise to make you only able to gasp for air, unable to shake your body, okay?"
"Why are you saying so many dirty things!" The cat glared at her, feigning resistance, her hands already hooked around her neck, her eyes filled with growing desire.
Clearly, she had been aroused...
"Is it very dirty? But it's the truth, that's what I'm thinking. Qingshang, okay?"
"...I," the woman's red lips pursed slightly. "I'll tell Teacher Ming first and ask her to pick up Qinqin and Mengmeng. Don't! Don't rush."
"Okay, but I'm very rushed, Qingshang..."
The woman's fingertips traced back and forth on her waist: "Let's contact Teacher Ming after we go back to the room, okay?"
"No, Qinqin and Mengmeng are still here. I have to tell them first."
"Okay," Tao Qiuyun released Qin Qingshang and gave her a deep look. "I'll go back to the room and take a shower first."
"Then wear less after you wash," the cat blinked. "Preferably the kind where I lift the blanket and see a surprise."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After hearing the entire conversation, Tao Aiqin hugged the puzzle and silently shed tears...
Tonight, what shape will the mosaic be?
Seeing the dejected little cat, Meng Huashi slowed down her puzzle speed.
What's wrong with Qinqin? Is it because she can't beat me at puzzles and is crying to herself?
