Chapter 847: Sense of Crisis
Jiang Mubai and Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help laughing after hearing what Zhao Tao said.
"Let's think about it. No matter how small a baby is, it is still a person, not a piece of tofu. How could it be so easy to be hurt?"
"I've never held a baby before. I'm afraid the baby might get bumped or hurt."
"Children are not that fragile. Brother Tao, just hold him normally."
"Forget it. I'll hold you for such a while that I won't dare to move. If I keep holding you, my body might get stiff."
After hearing what Zhao Tao said, Zhou Xiaoying took Xiang Xiang back from the other person's hand.
"That's because you've never held a baby before. It will be much better once you get used to it. Think about it. Every man who has held a baby is just like you. They were also at a loss when they held a baby for the first time."
"That's good. I thought I was the only one who was so useless. After hearing you say that everyone is like this, I feel a lot more confident."
"Don't worry, Brother Tao. It just so happens that you don't have a partner, so my child can be a good training ground for you. When you get married and become a father, won't you be able to do it easily?"
"Forget about it. If my future significant other sees me holding a baby so skillfully, she'll wonder if I've been married before and have children."
“It’s really not easy to explain this.”
"It's okay. There's no rush. He'll learn it naturally when he becomes a father. Didn't Xiao Cheng hold a child before? Didn't he also stop Xiang Xiang from crying for the first time by himself?"
"That's true, but when Yunchuan held the baby for the first time, I think he was crying because he was uncomfortable holding him."
"That's true, but you can't just write off the fact that he managed to take care of the child all by himself."
"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person."
"I think Xiangxiang is a little tired and should go to sleep. He has been playing with us with his eyes open since he got up this morning and drank his milk. Mubai, I'll go upstairs and coax him to sleep. You and your friend can continue chatting here."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Zhou."
After Zhou Xiaoying went upstairs, Jiang Mubai was afraid that Zhao Tao would be bored staying in the villa so he suggested taking a walk in the yard.
"Shall I take you for a walk in the yard? The flowers in the garden are in great shape. Brother Tao, you've been to the villa so many times, but you haven't had a chance to take a look outside, right?"
"Yes, I came to the villa to teach you before. After I stopped teaching, I had fewer opportunities to come to the villa. Every time I came, I was in a hurry to tell you something and then left. How could I have time to take care of these things?"
"If I didn't have time before, today is a good opportunity to go shopping."
"Yes, and with you, Mu Bai, accompanying me personally, how could it be good? The flowers in this garden are blooming really well. Even a grown man likes them very much."
"Yes, thanks to my father's care, otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy such a beautiful scenery."
"This lawn is so big and lush, and it looks like it's hard to take care of. Can Mr. Jiang take care of these flowers and plants?"
"My father used to manage the garden, but he probably didn't get involved in the lawn. He might have had some time to take care of these things before, but he's been very busy lately, so now it's all in the hands of the people in the villa."
"I see. I really like your villa with such a big yard."
"If you like, Brother Tao, why don't you buy a villa with a big yard? You can definitely afford it with your current wealth, okay? It would be even better if you buy it here and become my neighbor."
"You can try other places, but forget about this place."
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just that you can't bear to let go, Brother Tao."
"I'm not exaggerating. I've asked someone to find out before. My total net worth is really not enough to buy land and build a house here, so I still have to work hard, right?"
"Brother Tao, don't say that. You are so capable at such a young age. Isn't it easy for you to buy a house here in the future?"
"We'll have to talk about this later. Even if I can afford it, I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to do so. I'm not married yet and I'll have a lot of money to spend in the future. It's better for me to save some money to feel more at ease."
It was hard for Jiang Mubai to disagree with Zhao Tao's idea. She was just that kind of person, otherwise she would not have asked Zhao Tao to transfer her shares today.
"This is a really good idea. By the way, the Hundred Days Banquet will be held in a few days. It will be very lively here in the villa. Many people are my friends and people from the Jiang family. You can come and have fun then."
Zhao Tao would not let go of the opportunity to get in touch with the Jiang family. If one wants to survive in society, connections are very important. Jiang Mubai told him about this matter personally because he naturally wanted to help him. After Zhao Tao figured it out, he immediately agreed.
"Okay, when the time comes, tell me the exact time and I promise to come for the appointment."
"Okay, then it's settled. You're welcome to visit the villa again."
After walking in the yard for a while, the two were called back to the villa by the housekeeper because lunch had already been prepared in the kitchen.
"The last time we had dinner at the villa was when you, Mu Bai, hadn't given birth to a child. After I went back, I kept missing the cooking skills of the villa's kitchen."
"Really? Then it was the right thing for me to have you stay at home for dinner today. You have to eat more later."
"That's for sure."
"You should have told me this earlier."
"Hmm? Why do you say that? Wouldn't it be the same if I told you now?"
"How is it the same? If you had told me earlier, I could have asked you what you wanted to eat and asked the kitchen to prepare it specially for you. You told me now that the kitchen has already prepared all the dishes, and I don't know if you like the dishes they made today."
"You don't have to worry about this. I'm not picky about food. I like everything you give me. Besides, the cooking skills of the people in the villa kitchen are so good, so you don't have to worry about it, Mu Bai."
"Okay, let's eat quickly! The food won't taste good if it gets cold."
Today, only Jiang Mubai and Zhao Tao were having dinner in Jiang's restaurant. After they finished their meal, Zhao Tao did not stay and left directly. He knew that it would be lunch time soon, and it would not be good for an outsider like him to stay in Jiang's house to rest. So after dinner, he sat and chatted with Jiang Mubai for a while, then got up, said goodbye and went home.
Jiang Mubai also knew that the other party was avoiding suspicion, so when he saw him about to leave, he did not try to persuade him to stay.
"Brother Tao, let me take you out."
"No, you can just stay in the villa. You don't have to come out specially to see me off. Don't worry, Mu Bai, I will definitely help you with the things you entrusted to me."
"I'm not worried about this. Since you insist, Brother Tao, I won't send you off. Next time I send you an invitation, you must come to my house to play."
"Okay, I will definitely remember what you said specifically, just don't forget me when the time comes."
"No, Brother Tao, be careful on your way back."
"Okay, I'll go back first then."
Although Jiang Mubai did not send Zhao Tao off in person, the housekeeper still sent him to the gate of the villa before returning.
"Mu Bai, Mr. Zhao has already left in his car. It's almost one o'clock now. You should go back to your room and take a quick nap."
"Okay, Uncle Chen, there's nothing else to do in the villa right now, so you can go back to your room and rest."
"Well, I'll go back to sleep after you go upstairs."
After Jiang Mubai returned to the room, she saw that the door of the small suite was closed. She knew that Zhou Xiaoying and Xiangxiang were sleeping inside, so she didn't go in to check for fear of waking them up.
