Capítulo 1240: Chapter 1239: What Should We Name the Baby?
Though the guests sensed deep helplessness from Ou Zhenting’s remarks, they had no option but to show comprehension and reply, “Alright then…”
Differing from Ou Zhenting, Ou Jun directed his full concentration toward the home’s security measures.
“Ensure no gaps occur during shift changes whatsoever, and eliminate every blind spot while monitoring the household.”
Nearly every day, Ou Jun repeatedly reminded his team members of these points.
“Captain!” Whenever Xiao Jingqi witnessed his demeanor, her eyes lit up brightly as she exclaimed, “Captain, you're truly an excellent brother!”
Under Xiao Jingqi’s fervent stare, Ou Jun coughed lightly and responded, “Jingqi, spend more time accompanying Chuyi.”
“Being with Chuyi suits you better.” Ou Jun added.
With that, Ou Jun quickly stepped out to brief his subordinates once more.
His pace was swift, leaving it ambiguous if he hurried for the orders or to escape Xiao Jingqi.
Watching Ou Jun depart that way, a shadow fell briefly over Xiao Jingqi’s eyes.
Moments later, the sparkle returned.
Upon entering the room again.
Xiao Jingqi spotted the fresh father, Huo Shiqian, methodically swapping the infant’s diaper.
Meanwhile, Xia Chuyi lounged on the bed, idly nibbling an apple.
As Xiao Jingqi entered, Xia Chuyi grinned and greeted, “Jingqi, you’ve arrived!”
“Yes.” Xiao Jingqi glanced first at the baby in the crib, then settled next to Xia Chuyi, explaining, “Chuyi, the captain told me to stay with you.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi promptly asked, “So, has my brother turned you down once more?”
Lately, confined and restricted from activities by everyone, Xia Chuyi felt immensely bored and delved into the romance between Xiao Jingqi and her brother.
After joining the army, Xiao Jingqi received considerable care from Ou Jun, thanks to Xia Chuyi.
Over time, affection bloomed in Xiao Jingqi for Ou Jun.
True to her modern young woman spirit, Xiao Jingqi openly shared her emotions, learning Ou Jun was single without a partner, and thus confessed.
Yet, Ou Jun rejected her right away.
His stated reason: a significant disparity existed between them in age, education… Essentially, Ou Jun deemed them mismatched.
Thus, he aimed to maintain distance from Xiao Jingqi.
This led Ou Jun to suggest Xiao Jingqi participate in a U.S. exchange program back then.
During that period, Xiao Jingqi observed Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian’s dynamic.
Noting their own substantial differences, Xiao Jingqi’s hopes reignited.
Plus, Xia Chuyi offered encouragement then.
Returning home, Xiao Jingqi pursued Ou Jun with determination.
Nevertheless, Ou Jun persisted in refusing her, right up to the present.
“No problem.” After hearing Xiao Jingqi out, Xia Chuyi squeezed her hand comfortingly, saying, “Stay persistent; true dedication melts even stone.”
“I sense my brother harbors feelings for you as well.” Pausing briefly, Xia Chuyi continued, “When an opportunity arises, I’ll speak… actually, I’ll inquire with my brother about his real thoughts.”
“Yes, thanks so much, Chuyi!” Xiao Jingqi’s excitement surged at Xia Chuyi’s words.
Once the thrill subsided, Xiao Jingqi remarked, “Oh, right, settled on a name for the little one yet?”
Xia Chuyi’s spirits drooped instantly at Xiao Jingqi’s query.
Truthfully, over the last couple of days, naming the baby had troubled Xia Chuyi the most.
How to name this little child?
