"Kiana, Bianca, Mom is urging us to go wash our hands quickly."
Upon hearing Cecilia's words, Qiu Bi slowly put Kiana and Bianca down, then ruffled the two girls' hair, deliberately messing it up.
"Dad is so mean!"
Kiana and Bianca displayed amazing synchronization, not only saying the same words but also making the same faces at Qiu Bi.
Chapter 74 Cecilia: "Be mentally prepared for tonight."
Seeing Kiana and Bianca working in perfect harmony, Qiu Bi chuckled and then urged the two girls into the bathroom to wash up.
Just then, Qiu Bi's phone rang, immediately attracting his attention.
To better integrate into the hospital's work environment, Qiu Bi did not use the communication devices produced by Tianming, but instead purchased a mobile phone specifically for contacting colleagues and relatives.
However, Qiu Bi rarely takes the initiative to get to know his colleagues, and basically maintains a laissez-faire attitude.
Therefore, Qiu Bi was surprised when someone contacted him at this time.
Qiu Bi took out his phone and glanced at it; the caller ID showed it was the department head.
"Kiana, Bianca, wash your hands first. Dad needs to take this call."
"Dad doesn't wash his hands, they're dirty!"
Kiana stuck out her tongue, making a face of disgust towards Qiu Bi.
Bianca didn't speak, but she stuck her tongue out at Qiu Bi, just like Kiana.
Qiu Bi chuckled, then left the restroom to answer a call from the department head.
Instead of chatting idly, the department head assigned Qiu Bi his work for the coming period.
Given Qiu Bi's recent soaring reputation and astonishing cure rate, the department director specifically assigned this "important" task to Qiu Bi.
—Helping the daughter of the president of ME Company overcome psychological trauma.
Qiu Bi's resume described him as an "all-around doctor," confident that he could cure any difficult or complicated disease.
Therefore, the department head assigned this task to Qiu Bi.
This job is essentially a "business trip," and the hospital will provide Qiu Bi with reasonable subsidies and compensation.
Furthermore, ME Company intends to relocate to Academy City. If Qiu Bi can resolve the psychological trauma of ME Company President's daughter, then his future career path will be bright.
Upon hearing the department head's arrangement, Qiu Bi's expression turned somewhat strange. After repeated questioning from the department head, he agreed to the matter.
In fact, even without ME's help, Qiu Bi doesn't need to worry about his future promotion path, after all, he has the behemoth that is Destiny standing behind him.
Qiu Bi agreed to this mainly because of the daughter of the president of ME Company, "Raiden Mei".
The future Raiden Mei will be one of the "starter family" members, with a virtuous and kind personality, like a good wife and mother, full of "maternal instincts".
As for Raiden Mei at present, she is still a delicate girl who has just experienced the death of her mother and was kidnapped by a terrorist group.
"Qiu Bi, what happened?"
Cecilia hugged Qiu Bi from behind, pressing her chest against Qiu Bi's back, creating an astonishing arc.
Qiu Bi grasped Cecilia's hand and replied softly, "I need to go to Changkong City on a business trip for a while tomorrow."
"Okay, leave the daughters to me, Sophia, and Alexandra. You can go on your business trip with peace of mind."
Qiu Bi didn't answer, but turned around and hugged Cecilia, greedily inhaling her fragrance.
Cecilia playfully punched Qiu Bi's chest and whispered, "Darling, stop fooling around. It's time to eat. Your daughters will laugh at you for acting like this."
Cecilia and Qiu Bi's affectionate behavior has become a daily occurrence in this apartment, and neither Sofia nor Alexandra gets jealous or angry.
After all, Sofia and Alexandra would occasionally do some intimate things with Qiu Bi in front of Cecilia.
Cecilia was jealous at first, but later seemed to have come to terms with it and tacitly approved of it.
There is no other reason.
Qiu Bi is now the "father" of Sirin and Bronya, and is essentially an unconventional "couple" with Sofia and Alexandra.
It's perfectly normal for couples to do affectionate things together; there's no need to be jealous or angry.
However, the biggest reason is actually the precepts that Qiu Bi had established in the past.
—"The first precept: Deep love for Qiubi".
Without this rule, Cecilia would be extremely jealous and might even prevent Qiu Bi from sleeping in her bed at night.
Qiu Bi chuckled softly, then kissed Cecilia passionately, oblivious to everyone else around them.
Then, at Sofia's soft cough, which seemed to be a reminder, the two suddenly came to their senses and immediately parted their lips.
At this moment, the daughters have taken their seats in the living room and are currently watching Qiu Bi and Cecilia.
Cecilia's cheeks flushed slightly. She glared at Qiu Bi with what seemed like a coquettish or reproachful look, before leaving behind some light, airy words.
"Honey, you'd better be mentally prepared tonight."
"..."
Qiu Bi did not reply, but pretended to be nonchalant and slowly walked towards the dining table.
The dining table is small, only able to seat six people.
Therefore, apart from Qiu Bi, Cecilia, Sofia, and Alexandra, the other children consciously sat in the living room to avoid disturbing Qiu Bi and the others' "affection".
Furthermore, there are subtle differences between the dishes displayed in the dining room and the living room.
The dishes in the living room are all the children's favorite foods, while the dining room also features dishes that everyone likes, but each dish is mixed with some goji berries, and two highly nutritious dishes are also prepared.
As for what these two dishes actually nourish, that's a matter of opinion.
Qiu Bi ignored them and silently ate the dishes that Cecilia, Sophia and Alexandra had carefully prepared.
Whether unintentionally or intentionally, when the three women served food to Qiu Bi, they would often "coincidentally" include some goji berries, and they would also push the two highly nutritious dishes in front of Qiu Bi, putting him under great psychological pressure.
……
Because of the large number of children living there, the apartment is often very lively at night.
Sirin would take the initiative to play with Bronya, Kiana, and Bianca, while Aurora, Agatha, and Galina would sit and watch from the sidelines.
Since enrolling in Chiba Academy, the three girls have gained much strength and experience, but they can no longer play as freely as they did when they were young.
In the eyes of the three girls, Xilin is the most special person. No matter how old she is or how much experience she has, she can still play carefree like a child. Just as Qiu Bi once said, she is a "little angel" who can unintentionally heal other people's hearts.
Agatha once thought that Sirin maintained her appearance by using the "Herrscher of Knowledge Core," so he took the initiative to ask Sirin, but the answer he received was a denial without hesitation.
For Celine, age is merely a measure of how much time she has lived, and cannot be used as proof of "maturity".
Moreover, since her parents hadn't passed away, Xilin didn't need to "mature," so she simply maintained her innocent and childlike personality in front of Qiu Bi and the others.
Only when facing strangers does Celine reveal her "queen" side.
Aurora, Agatha, and Galina found this hard to understand, but were greatly shocked.
Chapter Seventy-Five: Bella Steals Food
The next day, early in the morning.
Qiu Bi had just woken up when he felt a moist, warm sensation below, as if it were enveloping him or drawing him in.
Qiu Bi had gotten used to this feeling every morning recently, simply assuming it was Sofia or Alexandra trying to wake him up.
Unfortunately, whenever Qiu Bi was about to wake up, that person would quietly leave the room, leaving Qiu Bi with a burning desire.
Today was different. Qiu Bi woke up early, but instead of getting out of bed, he enjoyed the moist, warm feeling.
Before long, Qiu Bi became suspicious.
Although Qiu Bi had gotten used to the moist, warm feeling that arrived every morning after this period of adjustment, he still sensed something was amiss while he was awake.
—This is not the touch of Cecilia, Sofia, and Alexandra!
In an instant, Qiu Bi's heart was filled with doubt. He then quietly pulled back the blankets a little, only to see a familiar girl's figure.
—Bella Benalles.
Bella froze as she noticed the blankets being pulled back, her gaze slowly moving upwards until she met Qiu Bi's astonished eyes.
Bella's cheeks flushed instantly, and without bothering to explain, she fled in panic.
Qiu Bi stared blankly at Bella's fleeing figure, his doubts growing stronger.
What's happening here?
Could it be that……
Bella has been the one doing all this time...
Qiu Bi's inner fire was extinguished instantly, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over it.
"Perhaps... I should take advantage of this 'business trip' to have a good talk with Bella."
Qiu Bi murmured softly, but accidentally woke Cecilia.
"Honey, good morning... You don't seem very energetic today."
Cecilia sat up, then leaned on Qiu Bi's shoulder, yawned, and made a pointed remark.
To this, Qiu Bi replied calmly, "It's probably because of your exploitation last night."
Cecilia chuckled softly, then lay back down on the bed, muttering, "Darling, you go wash up first... I'll sleep a little longer."
Aren't you going to send your daughters to school?
"Today is the daughters' day off, which is why they kept you up for so long last night..."
Cecilia's voice gradually faded, until it was barely a whisper.
Qiu Bi shook his head helplessly, then covered Cecilia with the blankets before going into the bathroom to take a bath.
……
When Qiu Bi finished showering, Cecilia had already gotten up and was combing her long hair in front of the dressing table.
"Hmm? Honey, come and help me tie my hair."
