DTBS - Chapter 98
Chapter 98: Cohabitation Prep
The production team booked the plane tickets last night, and everyone flew back to Tianhua Airport.
"Qingshang," Ding Yuyan was quite enthusiastic, "Is your assistant picking you up later? Want a ride with me?"
"My assistant is already on the way," Qin Qingshang saw Ding Yuyan's van had arrived and waved goodbye with a smile, "She'll be here soon. Thanks for the offer, Sister Ding, see you later~"
"See you," Ding Yuyan waved back, "When 《Fluttering Butterfly》 airs, I'll definitely support it!"
After seeing Ding Yuyan off, Qin Qingshang turned to look at Tao Qiuyun, still feeling a lingering bit of anger, "How are you getting back?"
"I came by taxi," Tao Qiuyun dragged her suitcase, seemingly understanding that she had upset her. She said, "If Qingshang, you're not willing to give me a ride, then I can only take a taxi."
"Linwan," Ming Siwen called Zhou Linwan to get in the car, "I'll give you a ride back. Taxis aren't cheap at the airport."
"Thank you, Siwen," Zhou Linwan was very grateful.
"You're welcome. We've spent so many days together, and I enjoyed being with you," Ming Siwen finished, then glanced at Qin Qingshang, "Qingshang, I'm leaving now."
"Okay," The cat waved.
"Qingshang," Tao Qiuyun pursed her lips, "So, are you going to give me a ride?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Qingshang turned and stared at her, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to Chunjin."
The cat was confused, "You... you're just going back to the company? You still have your suitcase!"
"The company has a room for me, putting things away isn't a problem," Tao Qiuyun's heart was with the company, "Secretary Zheng has already sent me a full inbox of emails. There are many things I need to handle, and I don't want to delay any longer."
"Then will you have endless meetings tomorrow?"
"Not endless," Tao Qiuyun heard the dissatisfaction in her voice and smiled, "Qingshang, I'll work overtime tonight to handle things. Tomorrow, I'll come help you move, okay?"
"Huh?" Qin Qingshang was startled, "Why help me move? I'm living perfectly fine."
"Then... I'll move to your place?" Tao Qiuyun probed, "After all, we are currently dating, right? And we have our marriage certificate, legally married wives. Long-term separation can even be a reason for divorce, so separation isn't really suitable, don't you think?"
"Ah, are we going to live together already?" The cat's face turned red, "I..."
I'm not ready yet. How can this Tao Qiuyun be so enlightened one moment and so dense the next?
"Actually, it's the same no matter whose place we live in," Tao Qiuyun looked at her, saying seriously, "It's just that West Wind Courtyard, where I live now, is closer to Qinqin's school. But living at your place is also fine, I can take Qinqin to school a bit earlier."
"Moving would be a bit conspicuous," Qin Qingshang mused, "And if the paparazzi catch wind of me suddenly changing neighborhoods, that's also a problem."
"Then can Qinqin and I move to your place?"
"Okay," The cat immediately agreed, "Tomorrow?"
"Yes," Tao Qiuyun nodded, "Moving tomorrow."
"Then should I pick you up?" Qin Qingshang hesitated, "Or will you come yourselves?"
"We'll come ourselves," Tao Qiuyun was thoughtful, "I have access to your place. I can just drive over with Qinqin, it's very convenient."
"Alright then... Wen Yu is here!" Qin Qingshang saw the familiar license plate and stepped forward, "Let's go, Qiuqiu."
Tao Qiuyun smiled, looking at her retreating figure...
Actually, she had planned to directly ask Qin Qingshang to meet at St. Ya Restaurant to talk, but she still mustered the courage to first test the waters about living together. She hadn't expected Qin Qingshang to be so accepting.
Does this mean that even back in reality, Qin Qingshang is accepting her step by step?
It's okay, there are still six months. She can take her time and strive to make Qin Qingshang propose changing the divorce agreement into a lifelong agreement.
After dropping off the work-focused Tao Qiuyun at Chunjin Group, Qin Qingshang finally returned home, rolled up her sleeves, and cleaned her already tidy room again.
The cat mopped the floor...
Speaking of which, I only have two rooms here. Does Qinqin usually sleep alone?
"CEO Tao, I sent the email you replied to me last night to Dongming overnight. This is Dongming's latest proposal," Zheng Liuyu looked at the tablet in her hand, keeping pace with the woman beside her, "I've already sent it to your email. Next is the work situation report meeting after your departure. The remote video conference is already connected, all senior executives are present, no one has taken leave, and it's expected to end in two hours."
"I've already ordered the set meal from St. Ya Restaurant for lunch. Onion and garlic have been removed according to your taste. The general manager's meeting originally scheduled for this morning has been postponed to the afternoon, starting promptly at 2 PM. Everyone on the list will attend, expected to end at 3:30 PM. Following that is the product evaluation seminar for the new technology department, at…"
"Secretary Zheng," Tao Qiuyun interrupted Zheng Liuyu. She looked straight ahead, her steps not stopping, and walked into the elevator, "Postpone the meeting for the new technology department until tomorrow, and clear my schedule after 4 PM this afternoon."
"Understood," Zheng Liuyu immediately modified the schedule on her tablet, her mouth not stopping, "Then what about the dinner with the Quality Assurance Department tonight?"
"Cancel it," Tao Qiuyun adjusted her cuff and turned to look at Zheng Liuyu, whose makeup was noticeably heavier today, "Secretary Zheng, you've worked hard these past few days. Do you need me to give you a few days off? Don't worry, your salary will remain the same."
"CEO Tao," Zheng Liuyu was instantly full of fighting spirit, "I'm fine, I don't need a break."
Reporting work to you for a lifetime is my life's goal!
She looked at Tao Qiuyun beside her...
The woman was a sight to behold just standing there. Her long half-black, half-white coat, with a light blue open-front shirt underneath, and the black and white chain-like ornament on her chest subtly highlighted her ascetic aura, making it seem both present and absent.
Help! CEO Tao is so charming! With a boss like this, as her primary confidante, I'm willing to work for her for a lifetime!
Entering the conference room, everyone sat upright, repeatedly flipping through their work reports, afraid of making a mistake during the presentation, and even more afraid of Tao Qiuyun being even slightly displeased.
After all, CEO Tao in work mode truly gave off immense pressure.
"Everyone is here," Tao Qiuyun took her seat, took a small sip of the tea prepared by the atmosphere crew. The rich aroma of Longjing tea relaxed her mind. She looked at the big screen, her voice clear and resonant, "Let's begin then."
"You finally came back!" Tao Aiqin stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Tao Qiuyun who was chatting with Su Qingxiang at the door, saying angrily, "Auntie Xiang said you could have come home yesterday, but you didn't! Did you forget you have a daughter at home!"
"Woof woof woof woof ow~" Exactly! You forgot you have a dog at home!
This "dog relying on its master's power" look made Su Qingxiang stifle a laugh. She whispered to Tao Qiuyun, "What? Couldn't wait to get back from the romance show and have a passionate night with your wife? I've been taking care of your daughter for so long, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
"I was working overtime yesterday," Tao Qiuyun took off her black and white coat and hung it on the coat rack, wearing only her shirt. She looked at Tao Aiqin, "Didn't I leave work early today to spend time with Qinqin?"
The cat turned her head away, refusing to look at her. The big dog, however, was spinelessly wagging its tail and coming forward for pets.
Tao Qiuyun rubbed the dog's head and said with a smile, "Did Big Bold behave well?"
"Woof!" Woof took good care of Qinqin.
"Good boy!" Tao Qiuyun squatted down and hugged the big dog.
She really liked small animals! It was just that the cats and dogs before were afraid of her and never let her get close. It was rare to find a dog that wasn't afraid of her, so she had to seize the chance to give it a good rub!
"Wuwuwu! The dog is more important than me! You're hugging Big Bold but not me!" The little cat was upset.
"Why are you coaxing the dog!" Su Qingxiang slapped her friend and then went forward to coax Tao Aiqin, "Aren't you going to comfort your daughter! Don't cry, Qinqin, Auntie Xiang will get you some fries, okay?"
"No, no fries! Mama, Mama doesn't love me anymore, wuwu~ She hasn't played with Qinqin for a long time. She doesn't come home. Mengmeng said that when adults don't come home, it's definitely because they don't like their babies anymore!" Tao Aiqin cried loudly.
System 030: "Speechless. Mengmeng really accumulated blessings in her past life to meet you in this life. She doesn't even know she said such things."
Tao Aiqin: "Shut up. Everything can be attributed to Mengmeng said - Lu Xun!"
System 030: "Don't lie to me. I've read all the articles by that Mr. Lu Xun from your planet. He didn't say that."
Tao Aiqin: "Then it was Zhou Shuren who said it. If you don't understand, shut up."
System 030: "Huh? Really?"
Tao Aiqin: "Laughing to death, I knew you hadn't read it at all."
System was shocked: "How did you know?"
Tao Aiqin: "Don't force me to mock you, Sys."
System 030: "..."
"Tao Qiuyun!" Su Qingxiang glared at her, "Qinqin won't even eat fries! Do you know how serious this is!"
"It's my fault," Tao Qiuyun walked over. Big Bold stuck close to her leg, and when the woman squatted down, it followed suit and squatted too.
"Qinqin," Tao Qiuyun hugged the little cat into her arms, coaxing, "Don't cry anymore, okay? Mama doesn't not love you. Mama has good news for you."
"Wh-what good news?" The cat was crying and sniffling.
"We're moving," Tao Qiuyun wiped the tears from her daughter's face in her arms and said with a smile, "Moving to live with your other Mama. Are you happy?"
Tao Aiqin was shocked...
Happy! How could I not be happy! I thought you two were going to fight after the romance show ended, but I never expected this...
My villain mom has this trick up her sleeve!
"You're going to live together?" Su Qingxiang was also surprised, "Qiuqiu, I didn't expect it, but you're quite good at this!"
She actually made up with the big star so quickly? Maybe she could ask Tao Qiuyun for advice on relationship problems in the future.
"Yes," Tao Qiuyun stood up, took out her phone, and said to Su Qingxiang, "We'll pack up and move over later, so you'll have to eat dinner by yourself tonight."
A question mark appeared above Su Qingxiang's head, and she flared up, "Tao Qiuyun! You—!"
"I've transferred the money," Tao Qiuyun put away her phone.
The bank transfer arrived instantly. Su Qingxiang took out her phone, looked at the zeros, and her tone immediately changed, "You living Bodhisattva, Qiuqiu, love you~ Do you need me to help you pack? I'm very fast at organizing things!"
"No need, Qinqin and I can pack ourselves," Tao Qiuyun planned to train her daughter's independence.
"Okay then, bye-bye~" Su Qingxiang quickly exited.
Just as she got into her Cayenne and buckled her seatbelt, Su Qingxiang couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
That woman Tao Qiuyun is already living comfortably with her wife and child. Her friends are getting into relationships one after another. The more she thought about it, the more miserable she felt. She simply took out her phone and called Chang Suiyou.
"Hello, Teacher Chang, are you free? Let's go out for dinner!"
"Are you going on a blind date today?"
"Your family introduced you to someone again?"
"It's okay, no trouble at all. I'll be right there!"
"So we're really moving in with Mama?" Tao Aiqin hugged the big shark she got from the parent-child activity. The shark was especially large, bigger than her whole body when she hugged it.
The little cat peeked out from behind the big shark plushie, curiously watching the woman packing her luggage, "You weren't lying to Qinqin, were you? You weren't telling fibs before, were you?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Tao Qiuyun packed away the cat's children's toothbrush, stood up, walked towards Tao Aiqin, reached out and rubbed the little cat's head, smiling, "I've only been away from you for a few days, and I've become a liar in Qinqin's eyes?"
"You are a liar Mama," The little cat was angry, "Before you said you would often bring me and Mama to meet, but every time we only met on the phone!"
While saying this, she was happily chatting with the System in her mind: "Holy cow, Sys, did you see that! They're going to live together! I told you the romance show was useful!"
System 030: "Yes, Host, it's all thanks to you!"
"Before, Mama was busy with work," Tao Qiuyun hadn't seen her daughter for too long and finally couldn't resist. She picked her up and lifted her high, saying, "Now Mama will come play with Qinqin as soon as I get off work, okay?"
"I don't want the liar Mama to play with me, I want Mama to play with me!" The cat snorted softly.
"Okay," The woman hugged the little cat into her arms, smiled, and poked her nose, "From now on, we'll go visit Mama at work together, okay?"
"Okay~"
The little cat leaned against her neck and rubbed, "Bring Sharky to see Mama."
"Okay, bring Sharky. Mama got a little shark for Qinqin, so it can be friends with Qinqin's big Sharky, okay?"
"Sharky has a little Sharky now~" Tao Aiqin blinked, looking at Tao Qiuyun with pure innocence, and said obediently, "Qinqin is a little cat, Mama is a big cat, so will you and Mama have little cats too?"
"Why aren't you saying anything?" The cat poked her with her paw.
"No."
"Why?"
"Because we are humans, we can't give birth to little cats."
System 030: "6"
