Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 210 Can I sleep with you and Mommy tonight?
A week later.

As soon as the little girl returned home after her study tour, she rushed into Shen Guining's arms and whined, "Mommy, I missed you so much!"

"Mommy misses you too." Shen Guining pulled her onto her lap. "Was Suzhou fun?"

The little girl couldn't wait to share, "It's so much fun! There are lots of delicious things to eat. I brought you a box of crabapple cakes; they're in your schoolbag."

Shen Guining kissed her cheek. "Thank you, baby."

The little girl happily told her about her study abroad experience. She was usually quiet and reserved outside, but when she was with Shen Guining, she couldn't stop talking.

"Mommy, I met a big brother, and he's so handsome..."

That happened to fall into Qu Yanci's ears. He frowned and walked down the escalator. "What brother?"

The little girl answered truthfully, "He's the older brother I met at the museum. He knows more than I do, he's so amazing!"

Shen Guining rarely heard her praise others, so her curiosity was piqued. "How old is your brother?"

The little girl held up five fingers to indicate, "Five years old."

Qu Yanci pulled her close, looking at her face to face, "Didn't Daddy tell you not to talk to strangers outside?"

The little girl said earnestly, "But he helped me. A little kid almost tripped me, and he pulled me back so I didn't fall."

Shen Guining asked with a smile, "Did you thank him?"

Little girl: "Yes, we even exchanged contact information!"

Qu Yanci frowned deeply. "Why do we need to add each other's contact information?"

The little girl blinked. "I invited him to come to Beijing to play sometime. Mommy said we should be polite to our friends."

Shen Guining: "Did he agree?"

The little girl said, "He said he would come if he had the chance."

Qu Yanci felt it necessary to educate her, "There are many bad people outside, so don't make friends easily. You are still young and can't tell whether someone has ill intentions or not. You shouldn't exchange contact information with others casually next time."

The little girl nodded, "Oh, okay."

Qu Yanci patted her head and said, "Let Auntie take you to take a bath."

The little girl obediently went upstairs to find the nanny.

Shen Guining took Qu Yanci's arm and said, "Honey, you're too nervous. It's just a friendship between kids. She might not even remember it after a while."

Qu Yanci was still displeased, "You think it's normal to add each other's contact information?"

Shen Guining guessed, "Maybe my daughter is a bit picky about looks?"

I've never heard her praise any boy's good looks before; this is the first time.

Qu Yanci said in a deep voice, "Then we must be even more careful."

Shen Guining couldn't help but chuckle.
-
Although the little girl had added the other person's contact information, she never bothered them once.

My father said not to have too much contact with people I don't know well.

However, she would occasionally think of that older brother, the most capable boy she had ever met among all her peers. He knew a lot, could even beat robots at chess, was handsome, a bit cool, and didn't talk much. His name was Xi Jingche.

I don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again.

For a period of time afterward, Shen Guining was very busy, and Qu Yanci was also on business trips to several countries for more than half a month, so he didn't have much time to spend with his daughter.

Fortunately, the little girl is obedient, so they don't have to worry about her too much.

Shen Guining goes to Denmark for a check-up every six months.

Ms. Sofie had clearly told her that because of her serious leg injury, even though she had recovered, she would become increasingly unable to perform as she got older and her physical strength declined.

If you can jump to 38 years old, that would be really good.

A professional dancer's prime is only a dozen or so years. Which dancer doesn't have some bumps and bruises? Once they develop a serious injury, they will basically have to retire before the age of forty.

Shen Guining is 30 years old now and can still dance on stage for another seven or eight years.

She could actually accept this result calmly, as she originally thought she would never be able to jump again after the age of 25.

She is not a pessimistic person. She has a very fulfilling and happy life right now, with a career and a family. What more could she ask for?

Many friends around her have asked her if she plans to have a second child, saying that it would be a waste for her and Qu Yanci not to have another child.

Given her situation, it's natural that she won't have a second child.

Qu Yanci shared the same thoughts as her. Firstly, he wanted to consider her career, and secondly, he didn't want her to suffer the pain of childbirth again. Of course, he also didn't want another child to take up their time.

The Qu family did not have any preference for sons over daughters. When her grandparents were alive, they doted on the little girl, treating her like a precious gem.

Unfortunately, when the little girl was two years old, Ms. Tan passed away due to heart disease, and not long after, the old man also passed away.

He lived to be over eighty years old, which can be considered a peaceful death, and he passed away without regrets.

After finishing up a busy period, I've had a bit more free time these past couple of days.

Before going to bed that night, Shen Guining said to Qu Yanci, "Yi Yi seems unhappy today. She didn't eat much for dinner, and she won't say anything when I ask her."

She wondered, "Have we been too busy lately and haven't had time to spend with her?"

Qu Yanci didn't get back until after nine o'clock today. In addition, he had been away on a business trip for half a month, so he hadn't spent much time with his little girl in a long time. "I'll talk to her tomorrow."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock Knock-"

Not very powerful.

Shen Guining knew it was Yi Yi as soon as she heard it.

Qu Yanci threw off the covers, got up, and went to open the door.

The little girl, dressed in her pajamas, stood at the door holding a StellaLou plushie.

Qu Yanci asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

The little girl pursed her lips. "Daddy, can I sleep with you and Mommy tonight?"
