Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System

Qi Yun shook his head with a smile, "No rush, it's just the same if I accompany you to finish eating first."

Zhao Qing gently nodded, didn't push further, just had a faint smile on her face.

Shortly, they arrived at the pizza shop. Qi Yun held the little girl in his arms and walked into the store, choosing a seat by the window.

The waiter enthusiastically handed over the menu, and the little girl skillfully pointed at the fruit pizza and also added an order of chocolate ice cream.

Then, Qi Yun took the menu and ordered a few dishes Zhao Qing liked.

Soon, the waiter brought each of their ordered dishes to the table.

The little girl's eyes were glued to the delicious food in front of her, eagerly reaching out her small hand to pick up a slice of pizza, taking a small bite, and her face instantly blossomed with a brilliant smile.

"Wow, it's so tasty!"

Zhao Qing smiled and wiped the corner of her mouth, "Nuannuan, slow down while eating."

Qi Yun looked at his daughter's happy appearance, and his heart was filled with warmth.

The two of them chatted casually while eating.

At this moment, Zhao Qing suddenly noticed that Nuannuan, who was lively a minute ago, had suddenly quieted down, her little head turned towards the window, staring intently at something.

"Nuannuan, what's wrong?" Zhao Qing asked.

The little girl turned her head, looking somewhat desolate, she said softly, "I saw mom."

Qi Yun was slightly startled, turned to look out the window, and coincidentally saw Shen Wanting getting into a black Passat in the distance.

This was the first time the little girl saw her mom since he brought her back.

Zhao Qing was also stunned, then a complex expression appeared on her face. She patted Nuannuan's little head, wondering how to comfort her.

Just then, the little girl suddenly turned around and hugged her, murmuring, "I have a new mom now." The tone seemed like she was comforting herself.

Zhao Qing's heart twisted sharply at the little girl's words, feeling both heartache for her understanding and a bit at a loss.

She gently patted the little girl's back, speaking softly, "Nuannuan dear, it's normal to miss your mom, but you're right too, now I'll take good care of you and be there as you grow up."

Qi Yun looked at Nuannuan, feeling full of guilt and helplessness.

He didn't expect to encounter Shen Wanting in this situation, and his daughter's reaction made his heart ache.

The child's emotions come quickly and go just as fast. On the way back after finishing the meal, she turned back into that chattering little chatterbox.

Qi Yun sent both of them home first and then hurriedly rushed to the new location.

By this time, the sky was completely dark. Inside the office, Wei Xueming was sitting on the sofa conversing with an elderly man with graying hair.

Seeing Qi Yun come in, the two stopped their conversation. Wei Xueming waved at him and said, "You finally made it, come and sit."

Qi Yun slightly bowed, apologetically saying, "Sorry for making the two of you wait for so long."

Wei Xueming waved his hand and said, "Alright, we know you were delayed because of something, us old guys won't bicker with you young people."

"Let me introduce you, this is Director Yu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is also responsible for the Qingnang Book related affairs this time."

"Director Yu, this is the Qi Yun I mentioned earlier, who donated the meteorite."

Qi Yun cast Wei Xueming a grateful glance, then stepped forward to extend his hand and said, "Hello, Director Yu."

Director Yu stood up with a smile, shook Qi Yun's hand, and warmly said, "Nice, indeed talented and outstanding, finding the Qingnang Book is a great contribution to the country."

Qi Yun smiled modestly and said, "Director Yu, you're too kind, this was something I ought to do."

Wei Xueming laughed heartily and said, "Don't be modest, young man, Director Yu rarely praises anyone."
