Chapter 160 How to Raise a Child
until--
"Click." The door slowly closed with a slight muffled sound, and the figure was gradually swallowed up by the heavy door panel and completely disappeared from Qiao Qin's sight.
She just stood there quietly, staring at the closed door for a long time. An inexplicable feeling of emptiness welled up in her heart, as if something precious had quietly left at this moment.
Qiao Qin lowered her head slightly, her eyes gently falling on Huo Siqian's sleeping form.
The little guy lay there quietly, his pink face was like a ripe apple, lovable. Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, the emptiness in Qiao Qin's heart was suddenly filled with warmth and love.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the inky darkness gradually enveloped the whole world. The cold moon hung high in the sky, like a cold fairy, casting soft moonlight. The silver light shone through the window, like a layer of gauze, gently draped in the room, coating everything with a hazy halo.
Qiao Qin was already lying on the bed, her eyes closed, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her face. Her breathing was steady and even, and she was immersed in a deep dream, as if she had forgotten all the troubles and noise in the world.
The next morning, the warm sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and playfully sprinkled on Qiao Qin's face. She woke up slowly, feeling the tranquility and peace of this moment.
Qiao Qin decided to give herself half a day off and stay at home with little Huo Siqian.
Time passed quietly in her warm company, until the agreed time was almost in the afternoon, when she went out slowly.
Anjing Hotel.
As soon as Qiao Qin arrived at the door, a well-trained waiter came up to her with a smile and took her to a private room.
In the box, a man in his thirties was sitting there, looking out the window, as if thinking about something. He was dressed very fashionably, and every detail of his appearance showed his unique taste.
"Hello, Miss Qiao. I'm An Yunkai." The man turned around with a bright smile on his face and stretched out his right hand. His voice was magnetic and had an irresistible charm.
Perhaps because of his mixed blood, his eyes were blue-green, deep and charming, like a mysterious lake. On his handsome face, these unique eyes added a bit of exotic charm.
Qiao Qin smiled and nodded, then stretched out her hand. The two hands clasped lightly and then released each other.
After the two sat down, several delicious home-cooked dishes were brought in. An Yunkai greeted them warmly and said, "Come, let's eat and talk."
In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, they began to talk about work. "Next month, my artists will attend an important dinner party. I attach great importance to this dinner party, but I can't find jewelry that matches the dress. I heard from Xiaoran that you are very capable in this area..."
There was a hint of expectation and trust in An Yunkai's tone.
Qiao Qin immediately responded, took out her mobile phone, swiped the screen skillfully, and showed the people around her a few pictures of her satisfactory works.
Those works are either dazzling or exquisite and elegant, and each one seems to be telling a touching story.
An Yunkai looked at them carefully, with surprise flashing in his eyes from time to time, and praised repeatedly: "Ms. Qiao, your designs are so ingenious, and each one is eye-catching."
In a short while, they had finalized the details of the jewelry, from style to material, from color to inlaid gemstones, every aspect was carefully discussed and considered.
Immediately afterwards, An Yunkai suddenly changed the subject.
"I saw a photo of a child on your screen. I didn't expect that Miss Qiao was married and had children at such a young age." There was a bit of curiosity and gentleness in his eyes.
"This child is so cute, fair and plump, and you can tell at a glance that he's very healthy." An Yunkai's words were full of sincere praise.
Perhaps it was because of the mention of Huo Siqian that Qiao Qin couldn't help but curl her lips, with endless tenderness in her eyes, and asked casually: "Mr. An has a lot of experience in raising children?"
"Yes, I also have a daughter who just turned three this year." An Yunkai's face was filled with happiness and pride as a father.
Qiao Qin's eyes flashed with curiosity and she looked over with interest. The friends around her were either unmarried or married without children, so no one shared the topic of raising children.
Qiao Qin asked impatiently, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Mr. An, when did your daughter learn to stand from crawling?"
"Mr. An, at what age do you think it is best for babies to start education?"
"Mr. An, how should we take care of a one-year-old child?"
Her questions came one after another, as if she had opened up a conversation.
Qiao Qin couldn't help asking a lot of questions, and An Yunkai was very patient. He leaned forward slightly and answered every question seriously, his voice gentle and firm. "The time it takes for a child to stand up varies from person to person, usually around one year old. But the important thing is to give children enough encouragement and support so that they have the courage to try."
"Regarding education, I think we should not put too much pressure on children too early, but we should not leave them alone either. We can start with some simple cognition, such as recognizing colors and shapes."
"Children over one year old need more company and care, and their diet should be balanced and they should get enough sleep."
The two of them got along very well and before they knew it, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Qiao Qin finally reacted, looked at the time, a little apology flashed in her eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry for talking to you for so long."
"It's very interesting to chat with Miss Qiao." An Yunkai still had that gentle smile on his face, warming people's hearts like a spring breeze.
Qiao Qin couldn't help but sigh: "But you know so much and are a responsible and good father. In comparison, I know nothing." There was a hint of envy and self-mockery in her tone.
An Yunkai shook his head and comforted them, "It's normal. This is everyone's first time learning to be a parent. I still remember the first time I changed my baby's diaper, I made a mistake because I couldn't tell the front from the back." As he said that, he couldn't help laughing.
A burst of happy laughter rang out in the box, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Qiao Qin blurted out: "Mr. An's wife must be very happy, right?"
However, the smile on An Yunkai's face froze, and his voice was a little heavy: "She has no mother."
"Ah?" Qiao Qin's heart skipped a beat, and a look of surprise and regret appeared on her face. She realized that she might have said something wrong, and immediately changed the subject. "Sorry, I don't know, do you have any other requirements for the jewelry?"
"It's okay. I don't care about it anymore. It's getting late, let's go back first." Although An Yunkai's tone was calm, there was a hint of imperceptible sadness in his eyes.
Qiao Qin's driver had been waiting outside the hotel. As she got in the car, An Yunkai also drove back home.
In the car, Qiao Qin leaned back in the chair, the conversation at the dinner party flashed through her mind unconsciously, and a trace of regret flashed in her eyes. It was all because she was too engrossed in the previous conversation and asked such a presumptuous question.
Just then, Lin Xingran's phone suddenly came.
"Xiao Qin, how was today's cooperation discussion?" Lin Xingran's voice came from the receiver with a hint of urgency.
Qiao Qin did not answer directly, but smiled and said: "I'll treat you to anything you want to eat."
Lin Xingran thought about it and said casually: "Then let's go to the newly opened sushi restaurant in the west of the city. I heard that the salmon sashimi there is delicious."
Then, she asked mysteriously, "Xiao Qin, what do you think of An Yunkai?"
