Chapter 749: The Feeling of Home

hi牧 replied faintly. Mid-sentence, his brows furrowed suddenly, and his voice lowered, "What's wrong with your hand"Joe Baby felt his gaze and immediately hid her hands behind her back, feeling guilt..."Baby, your Uncle Bao slept in the guest room. These past six months, we've been so lucky to have his help. Every morning, he goes for a walk with your grandma and plays chess with your dad. Sometimes, he even brings the twins over to stay for a few days. You should thank your uncle properly."

Mo Gao heard Gu Ruyue praise him so much, he was laughing so hard his eyes were watering. He also said modestly, "Where, where, this is just a small effort."

“As a lonely old man, I live alone outside and only eat takeout, which is unhealthy. It would be my honor to live with you all and spend my retirement days together.”

Gu Ruyan smiled, "Grandma said it herself, you're one of our family now. Don't be so distant. We don't have any children in the house, so the more people, the merrier."

"Yeah, living together means we can all look out for each other." Mo Gao gave a modest and humble smile.

Jo Bao'er quietly listened from the side, she always felt that Uncle Mo Gao wished he could take root in her family.

"Baby, I'll cook some noodles for you first. Rest early tonight and don't eat too much. Just have something light. I'll make something delicious for you tomorrow."

"Good." Her aunt's noodles are delicious too.

"And tonight, you'll sleep in the same room as me. Your uncle will stay in the guest room. You can just sleep in your old room again. By the way, tell me about your mom's situation later tonight..."

Just as Gu Ruyue brought up the matter, Mo Gao, who was standing behind her, despite his short stature, exuded a ferocious aura that towered over everyone else. He glared menacingly at Qiao Baier, mouthing words, ‘Don’t you dare talk about your mother!’

Qiao Bao'er was speechless for a moment. She only said to her aunt, "I'll just squeeze into your bed tonight. I have some business to discuss."

Gu Ruoyan, upon hearing it was business, feared she would disturb the young man's serious matters and didn't bring it up again.

"Joe Baoer, your mom might be a piece of work, but this aunt of yours is way better than your actual mother." She ate with ferocity, quickly finishing her bowl of tomato beef ramen.

"Of course." Qiao Bao'er said with pride, and she slurped the noodles loudly.

"Actually, my aunt used to be a lady who didn't touch any housework. A few years ago, when she ran away with me from the Qiao family, her cooking skills improved."

Through it all, making her delicious food is the way to go. Mo Gao has a point there; she'll have to be extra filial to her aunt from now on.

"What about your family" Qiao Baoer hadn't heard her mention it.

< >With a cold face, she clearly didn't want to say much. "I don't know." < >

Jo Bao'er was taken aback, but she was clever enough not to ask further.

Tonight, the two of them will be squeezed onto a 1.5-meter bed. This was Qiao Bao'er's old room. Out of curiosity, she picked up a few photo frames and took a look. There was also a picture of Qiao Bao'er and Tang Yu when they were kids. Qiao Bao'er was a little beauty even as a child, with a pair of bright and lively black eyes. Tang Yu next to her was also very handsome as a child, but he looked a little silly.

Gu Ruoyan changed their sheets and blankets to new ones, along with new mosquito nets. They were all pink and had lace trim, without a doubt.

Looking at Qiao Ba'er, she doesn't have the air of a princess or a wealthy heiress like other families. It's estimated that the Qiao family must be quite disappointed to have raised such a daughter.

Jo Bao'er doesn't particularly like pink lace, but since her family insisted on buying it, she didn't mind.

It's uncomfortable to lie here in this "princess's room."

"It doesn't matter, once the light is out, you can't see anything."

Qiao Bao'er reached out and pulled the bedside lamp, plunging the room into darkness. Only a faint glow from the city outside filtered in through the small balcony.

Every parent always wants their son to become a dragon and their daughter a phoenix. My family only has me, so when they are free, they like to bother me.

Every parent wants the best for their child, signing them up for a bunch of training classes. To Qiao Baoer, it didn't matter how much trouble they went through. As long as they stopped forcing her to learn piano, she was fine with anything.

She stretched out her limbs comfortably, feeling much more at ease and grounded on this bed in her own room compared to the large bed back at Jun's house.

Closing my eyes, I breathe in the air of this room. There's a scent of home here, a feeling of warmth that is very unfamiliar to me.

It's like someone who's worked hard outside and is exhausted. Although this isn't the most luxurious room, lying down here feels especially comfortable and you fall asleep instantly. You don't need to be on guard about anything; you can completely relax.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Qiao Baoer's phone rang insistently, its abrupt ringtone jolting her awake.

" Qiao Baoer quickly answered the phone, or she would throw it out of the window."

She has a very short fuse and hates it when people disturb her while she's sleeping.

Jo Baoer got kicked twice in the butt by the rough woman beside her. She scrambled up and out of bed, turned on her bedside lamp, then started looking for her phone to answer it.

"Huh" Qiao Bao'er wasn't looking at her phone screen, she was fully focused on rubbing her own butt.

On the phone, they just threw out a deadline, “Be back tomorrow.”

Jo Baoer stood abruptly, it was Jun Zhimu who had called her.

"I rarely come back, can I go back the day after tomorrow" she whispered, feigning weakness.

"You really think it's necessary to consult me about this" Jun Zhimu was dripping with sarcasm, his tone flat. " ... You suddenly went back to the Qiao family today, you didn't tell me either."

"You've been at Joe's place for two hours now, aren't you about to go to sleep You didn't even think to call anyone before bed, did you" The air was getting thick with tension.

Qiao Bao'er only then realized the sense of crisis.

She forgot.

After being scolded by Mo Gao, he completely forgot about calling Jun Zhi Mu.

Qiao Baoer feigned indifference and said calmly, "I was just about to call you, and you called me..."

Jun Zhi Mu hasn't spoken yet.

Result, at this time a hurried knocking sound came from outside the door, it was her aunt Gu Ruyue who shouted somewhat anxiously, "Bao'er ah, you came back today, didn't you tell Zhimu Don't sleep first, hurry up and give him a call."

Jo Bao'er's body stiffened, and even through the phone, she could feel a chill.

“I’ll go back tomorrow.” Qiao Bao’er quickly assured him.

Jun Zhi Mu wouldn't know she had forgotten him a long time ago. Although his face wasn't looking too good, he still threw in a sentence, "Follow me, and don't forget about your troublesome special physique. If anything happens, I'll personally visit your family."

Then the phone beeped and was angrily hung up.

Jo Baoer felt relieved when she heard him hang up the phone. She let out a big sigh of relief and, foolishly enough, smiled and said, "So we can just play around in Shi for a few more days"

"...You didn't hear how angry he was"

Qiao Bao'er waved her hand, very calmly, and casually lay back on the bed, turning off the light. "It's nothing, it's nothing. Jun Zhimu hung up my phone call, which means he has cooled down."

I don't know how to describe my feelings.

“Before you go to sleep, would you like to share anything on your mind with me” Qiao Baobao asked kindly.

Because women are like that, when they sleep in the same bed, there's always something unspoken to talk about. Like she talks a lot with Xiao Zhu.

"No worries."rned about, Qiao Bao'er came over today to accompany Tang Yu, and he could rest a little.Qiao Baoer also knew that her Uncle Mo Gao wasn't easy, ah... Tang Yu really didn't like communicating with peo...
