Chapter 2872: A Momentary Misunderstanding

Qian Huansheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "I have never had children, so I do not know these things." Although he said this, he still stopped in front of a baby store.

Cheng Jin, holding the child, walked inside. Qian Huansheng approached. Cheng Jin pointed to a stroller nearby. "Push the cart quickly. It will be easier to pick things out."

Qian Huansheng spread her hands in a gesture of helplessness. Cheng Jin raised an eyebrow and pointed to the child in her arms.

Fine. Qian Huansheng admitted he could not refuse. He rubbed his nose and pushed a cart.

"This can of milk powder is good. Let's take this one," Cheng Jin said, pointing at the milk powder.

"Okay." Qian Huansheng took the milk powder down after Cheng Jin finished selecting it.

Cheng Jin then pointed to nipples, bottles, and diapers. She bought everything for the child, including a set of small clothes.

After buying the goods, Cheng Jin waited to the side while Qian Huansheng went to pay.

The cashier looked at Qian Huansheng and Cheng Jin and smiled. "Your couple's relationship is really good." Then she calculated the total.

(⊙o⊙)… Cheng Jin and Qian Huansheng were both stunned. They were not in such a relationship, but they could not explain too much to strangers. So they just exchanged an awkward smile and returned to the car.

Cheng Jin sat down and saw Qian Huansheng letting out a long sigh of relief. She laughed instead. "So you also feel embarrassed sometimes."

Qian Huansheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Anyone would have such moments." He looked at Cheng Jin with a smile. "It seems you have a high opinion of me."

Cheng Jin snorted. "I just haven't seen a god feel embarrassed before."

Qian Huansheng raised an eyebrow slightly, then started the car. The two returned to the coffee shop with the baby.

"Boss, you and Xiao Chen just went out for a bit, how did you come back with a baby?" Old Ma blurted out upon seeing the swaddled bundle in Cheng Jin's arms.

"(⊙o⊙)… What nonsense are you talking about?" Qian Huansheng was speechless.

Cheng Jin burst out laughing. "Uncle Old Ma, this is not my child with the boss. This is a client's child, entrusted to the boss to find."

"Oh, so it is not the boss's child. Then I thought too much," Old Ma said, looking a bit embarrassed.

"You indeed thought too much," Cheng Jin smiled. "Not to mention that I have no relationship with the boss, even if we did, it is impossible to have a child after going out for just a few hours. Even cats and dogs are not that fast."

Old Ma rubbed his forehead. "I thought you fell into a space where time flows differently, and spent some time there."

If anyone else said this, it would only be considered a joke. But since Old Ma said it, it proved that such things indeed existed.

Cheng Jin laughed after hearing this. "I am not that unlucky."

"Would it be unlucky if you fell into such a secret realm with me?" Qian Huansheng suddenly spoke up.

Cheng Jin looked innocent, not understanding what act Qian Huansheng was putting on. She could only say, "I didn't mean going out with you was unlucky. I meant falling into that kind of space where time flows differently."

Qian Huansheng nodded, accepting Cheng Jin's explanation.

Cheng Jin tilted her head and looked at Qian Huansheng. "Boss, are you having your period?"

"What period? I do not have relatives," Qian Huansheng answered.

Cheng Jin stuck out her tongue. "Nothing. I just saw you looking moody, so I asked out of concern."

"Heh heh." Qian Huansheng indicated he did not believe Cheng Jin's explanation. "What do you mean by 'moody'?"

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue." Cheng Jin hurriedly apologized. Nonsense, the person in front of her was a god. She could not offend her casually.

Then her eyes rolled, and seeing the swaddled bundle in her hands, she hurriedly said, "Uncle Old Ma, I will take leave for tonight to take care of this child."

"It does not count as leave. This is also considered work," Old Ma said. How could he not understand Cheng Jin's thoughts? However, one thing is one, and another is two. Regarding his boss's matters, he would still pretend not to know.

Cheng Jin hurriedly agreed, holding the child and saying to Qian Huansheng, "Boss, I will take the child upstairs first."

"En." Qian Huansheng agreed.

Cheng Jin hurriedly went upstairs, found that the baby's things were still in Qian Huansheng's hands, put the sleeping child on the bed, then hurriedly came down, took the bought baby supplies, smiled apologetically twice, and slipped away again.

This whole process took no more than two minutes.

Seeing this, Qian Huansheng was slightly stunned. He asked Old Ma, "Am I that scary?"

Old Ma chuckled. "Boss, it is not that you are scary, but respect for you."

Qian Huansheng snorted. "Do you believe that?"

However, Qian Huansheng only complained briefly and did not say much more. He then left.

The next day, Cheng Jin prepared the milk powder for the infant, fed her, washed her bottom, changed her diaper, and changed her small clothes. After confirming she was asleep, she went downstairs to do things.

An infant born only a few days ago did nothing but eat and sleep.

After Cheng Jin came down, she saw Qian Huansheng already sitting in her fixed position. She boiled a pot of coffee and placed it in front of Qian Huansheng. "Boss, what time will we go to purify those resentments?"

"Go at twelve noon," Qian Huansheng said slowly.

Cheng Jin made a sound of acknowledgment. "What time will that guest come to pick up the child?"

"Eleven noon," Qian Huansheng said without any concealment.

Cheng Jin indicated she understood and then went to tidy up.

Cheng Jin indeed needed to tidy up properly, mainly helping the infant get ready. The things bought yesterday could be taken back by the owners after just one day. Of course, whether they used them was their business, and whether they gave them was their kindness.

At eleven o'clock sharp, the old man arrived.

Qian Huansheng said to Cheng Jin, "Xiao Jin, go bring the child down."

"Yes." Cheng Jin nodded and went upstairs to bring the packed things and the child down together.

She placed the infant in the old man's arms and put the luggage beside her. "These were bought at the baby store yesterday. They are all suitable for this child. If you do not need them, throw them away. If you can use them, use them."

"Thank you." The old man thanked them, had the person beside him pick up the luggage, then thanked Qian Huansheng and left.

After waiting for them for a week, Qian Huansheng took Cheng Jin to go purify those resentments.

Although it was daytime, the resentment could still be seen弥漫 (filling) the river surface here.

"It is truly a sin. This river has swallowed the lives of countless girls," Cheng Jin sighed. However, her hands and feet did not stop. She took out the necessary props one by one.

"Purify these resentments," Qian Huansheng said.

Cheng Jin agreed and began to perform the ritual.

Cheng Jin inherited the orthodox Heavenly Master lineage. Although her current cultivation was not deep, she could purify the resentment here. It just took a bit longer, fully three hours to complete.

After completing the purification, Cheng Jin was covered in sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the river. Her complexion was also poor. Seeing Qian Huansheng, she only smiled and then fainted.
