How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 413 - 415: Taking Care of the Child_1

After getting off work and learning about the situation, Qin Jin first scolded Old Mrs. Qin for not being careful and then proposed hiring a caregiver to look after her.

Old Mrs. Qin: "I don’t need care, finding someone to look after the baby is the top priority."

Li Qiao: "Mrs. Tao isn’t quitting, we can hire a caregiver, it wouldn’t be right to dismiss them abruptly once your leg heals. I’ll look after the child during this period."

"Studying mustn’t be delayed, let Jin take care of it. The aunt next door is retired and has nothing to do; she spends her days visiting neighbors. She can come and cook for me, help me go to the toilet, things like that," Old Mrs. Qin said.

Qin Jin thought this was feasible; the neighbor had recommended two girls to the garment department who are reliable. She trusted her to get things done.

With this in mind, he immediately brought gifts and paid a visit.

The neighbor agreed readily: "I’ll make sure to take very good care of your grandma."

Qin Jin thanked her.

And so it was settled.

Early the next morning, Qin Jin left with the child.

Li Qiao returned home after her morning classes ended, and found Old Mrs. Qin chatting with the neighbor aunt.

"Isn’t Qiaoqiao at school? Why are you back?"

Li Qiao: "Just checking on grandma during the lunch break, how are you, auntie?"

"Eh, you don’t need to worry about your grandma; I’m here," the neighbor said.

Li Qiao politely replied, "Thank you for your trouble." She sat at home for a while before returning to school.

She couldn’t concentrate on her studies since she was worried about the baby and decided to look for Qin Jin.

Two days before the start of the term, Qin Jin gave her a women’s bicycle, which was convenient for long trips.

When she arrived at the destination.

The security guard told her that Qin Jin wasn’t in the factory.

Li Qiao: "Do you know where he went?"

"Said he went to a meeting."

Li Qiao: "And he took the baby with him?"

"Yes, today our factory folks are really admiring the director, he does everything while holding the baby. The female workers are envious, saying that whoever become the director’s wife would be so lucky." It was the first time they saw a man coaxing a baby, with women acting hands-off.

But the woman not coaxing the child looks young.

Just look at the director’s wife’s figure, appearance.

No different from a young girl.

......

Unable to find him, Li Qiao returned to the school.

She calmed her heart and immersed herself in her studies.

Before she knew it, it was already nine in the evening.

She packed her books and headed home.

Inside, Qin Jin and the baby were lying on the bed, and the child had already fallen asleep. With a smile on her lips, she asked with concern, "Were you tired from looking after the child today?"

"Not tired," Qin Jin said.

His son was sensible, ate and slept, woke up and ate.

Didn’t fuss at all.

Li Qiao: "Let me know if you can’t manage, we can take turns."

"Your school allows students to bring children?"

Li Qiao fell silent: "That...." Not many knew about her pregnancy and having the baby, except for a few around her, her classmates had no idea.

Suddenly bringing the child into the school.

Would surely lead to gossip.

However, she planned to maintain her top rank in her major by the end of this term and then personally tell Professor Dai about having a child.

She hoped that Professor Dai could offer her opinion to the school.

For pregnant students in the future, whether to drop out should be left to personal decision.

Women giving birth become vulnerable; they should not be further hindered academically.

Qin Jin: "I’ll look after him. I like it."

Today, at the official meeting, bringing his child yielded unexpected results; not only was he praised, but many companies actively sought him out for collaborations. They said that his responsibility and accountability shown in caring for his child made him trustworthy.

Li Qiao: "You’ve worked hard."

Qin Jin: "Something practical would be better."

Li Qiao blushed: "Better save your energy for coaxing the kid."

......

After a week like this.

Old Mrs. Qin was finally able to walk freely, and Mrs. Tao had returned as well.

Qin Jin, however, could not part with the child, but it was obviously not practical to bring the child to work every day. He said: "Mrs. Tao, you can take weekends off in the future, just keep the house clean and tidy on weekdays, the salary stays the same. If my grandma sneaks off to work, let me know."

Old Mrs. Qin said, "I won’t go anywhere else in the future."

Mrs. Tao assured, "You can rest assured about the cleanliness inside and outside the house."

Li Qiao no longer needed to divide her attention to take care of the child; she could focus all her energy on studying. She left early and returned late every day, and whenever she missed the child, she could come back to see him at any time. Her days were comfortable and carefree. On Saturday afternoon, after school, as she passed by the school’s reception, she discovered there was a letter for her.

It was from Li Jinniu.

She hesitated for a moment before taking the letter.

The letter said that Li Jinhua was paralyzed in bed, and there was no one to take care of the child.

Feng Erguanggun’s family disliked the girl and was unwilling to raise her.

He was prepared to take care of the child.

He was not well-educated and hoped she could name the child, hoping that the child would grow up to be an honest person in the future.

The handwriting was all crooked and twisted.

But it was written very earnestly.

Li Qiao didn’t want to name Li Jinhua’s child. She tore the letter up and threw it in the trash can, then rode her bike to the factory to see her son.

When she arrived, Qin Jin wasn’t in the office.

A girl in her early twenties who was good-looking sat on the sofa.

When the girl saw Li Qiao, she was stunned for a moment, then said, "Who are you? This is the director’s office."

"I’m the director’s partner; who are you?"

"You are his partner? I don’t think so."

Li Qiao: "....."

At this moment, she heard the cries of a child.

The girl, named Zhou Ju, sprang up and rushed into the room, wanting to hold the child, but the child kicked and flailed, refusing to let her get close.

Li Qiao called out, "Baby."

Hearing the familiar voice, the child quieted down.

Li Qiao pushed past Zhou Ju and picked up the child, "See? The child recognizes me."

Zhou Ju incredulously said, "You really are the director’s wife? I heard that his wife is very busy and has no time to take care of the child." She had even felt indignant on behalf of the director.

Director Qin was young and talented, with looks that were one in a million.

Yet the woman at home didn’t cherish him.

To not take care of your own child and act like a hands-off manager, who does that?

In her opinion, it would be better to leave him.

Li Qiao said, "You heard right, but I have time today. Thank you for taking care of the child here; you can go out now."

Zhou Ju pursed her lips and walked out of the office.

Li Qiao asked the child, "Are you hungry? Do you know where your formula is?"

The child raised a leg and pointed towards a cabinet.

Li Qiao looked in that direction, "In the cabinet, huh?"

The child wiggled his foot.

Li Qiao smiled with curved eyes, first setting the child down, then opened the cabinet.

She took out a thermos and a baby bottle.

After preparing the formula and shaking it evenly, she was feeding the child when the door opened.

It was Qin Jin.

"How did you get here?" he asked.

"Can’t I come? Or did I interrupt you while you were flirting with a girl?"

Qin Jin didn’t understand, "What flirting?"

Li Qiao: ".... Just now there was a girl in her twenties sitting in your office, quite a looker. Later, when the child woke up, she was in a hurry to go to the rest room to take care of him. If she wasn’t hired by you to take care of the child, then who?"

"I was just meeting with a client who came to place an order. I asked Liu Er to watch the child for a bit, and he actually found someone. I thought you knew and that’s why he left. Don’t get the wrong idea, if I were to flirt, it would be with you."

Li Qiao smiled and suppressed a laugh, so that was it.

The child was a little sleepy after finishing his milk, tilting his head as if to sleep, but not quite asleep.

Li Qiao lay down on her side, gazing at the child with eyes full of love. He lifted his eyelids a little but then fell asleep.

Seeing this, Qin Jin said, "While he’s asleep, let’s do something else."

Li Qiao instantly understood, "Isn’t that inappropriate? In the middle of the day and in your office, isn’t it embarrassing if someone walks in on us?"

"Who would walk in? Can’t I just lock the door?" Qin Jin said and went out to lock the door.

Li Qiao said, "What if the child wakes up and sees us? That won’t do."

"We’ll give him the rest room, and we can go outside," Qin Jin said, pulling her along.

Li Qiao: "....."
