Chapter 1518: Accidents Abound

However, as a newborn just a few months old, there are inevitably many issues that drive adults crazy.

The one that gives Qin Miao the biggest headache is the child crying at night, to the extent that Qin Miao hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for the first week.

Actually, Qin Miao brought this upon himself. Qimeng had said it plainly: she would sleep with Muqiu while Qin Miao would sleep in the guest room.

But Qin Miao volunteered to take care of the child together with Qimeng.

Then Qin Miao deeply understood why the elders always say taking care of a child is a physical task.

Whenever Muqiu wakes up and starts crying at night, no matter how sleepy Qin Miao is, he’ll be awakened. It’s not just the noise, it’s also his own concern; he worries whether Muqiu didn’t cover herself well and caught a cold, or maybe she’s feeling unwell.

Worry creates confusion, and so it goes.

However, as time passed and the race week arrived, Qin Miao found he couldn’t hear Muqiu’s cries even if he wanted to.

Because the time had come for Qimeng to take the child back home for a check-up and vaccinations.

Meanwhile, Qin Miao had to head to Canada in advance to prepare for the Canadian Grand Prix.

During this process, something happened that made Qin Miao feel very gratified.

As they were about to part ways, Qin Miao took Qimeng to the airport. Just before boarding, when Qimeng took Muqiu from Qin Miao’s arms, Muqiu acted as if she knew she was parting from her dad, crying and reaching out for Qin Miao to hold her.

Honestly, at that moment, Qin Miao felt really heartbroken and just wanted to keep the little girl by his side.

But Qin Miao still let Qimeng take the child away, since everyone has work to attend to; they can’t change plans based on a child’s desire.

The day after separating from his family, Qin Miao discovered a photo in the drivers’ group chat he shares with Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc.

Leclerc sent it, and even tagged Qin Miao in the group.

Upon opening it, lo and behold, it was Vassel’s huge face, displaying a faint smile.

At first, Qin Miao didn’t think much of it, assuming Leclerc was just posting an unflattering photo of Vassel to disgust him and Zhou Guanyu.

Then Leclerc explained to Qin Miao: [This is Vassel’s expression after last week’s Grand Prix ended.]

[My track engineer captured it, genuine.]

Zhou Guanyu: [With Ferrari’s poor performance last week, Vassel could still smile?]

Leclerc: [/cheeky]

[Normally, he wouldn’t be able to smile, but can you guess why that smile appeared on his face?]

Zhou Guanyu: […]

[The only thing last week worth making Vassel slightly happy was probably Qin Miao taking the Grand Prix win.]

[Let’s just say it as it is.]

[It seems that Vassel was happier seeing Qin Miao win than seeing you win, @Leclerc]

Leclerc: [Can us mere mortals compete with a double championship winner’s results?]

Qin Miao: [What are you being all sarcastic about?]

Leclerc: [/cheeky How does the defending champion see Vassel’s expression?]

Qin Miao: [/shrug How can I see it? I’ll look at it from the hotel.]

Leclerc: [Speak straightforwardly]

Qin Miao: [Is it possible your performance left Vassel hopeless, so he focused all his attention on me?]

Leclerc: [Could be, you’ll have to rely on the triple champion to turn things around at Ferrari.]

Qin Miao: [Here we go, someone’s playing the praise-kill game.]

[If I lose my third WDC, I’ll blame you, Leclerc, for jinxing my championship away; then you won’t be my daughter’s godfather.]

Zhou Guanyu: [I agree, a normal child only needs one godfather, what’s with a godfather?]

Leclerc: [Get out of here, you who can’t even enter the top 10 of the standings.]

Zhou Guanyu: [Damn it, give me a Ferrari car and see if I can’t get into the top 10.]

…

After chatting for a while, Qin Miao checked the time on his phone before heading out.

Today, he had plans with someone.

After walking for 15 minutes, Qin Miao arrived at a café near Silverstone Circuit from home.

When Qin Miao arrived, his chief engineer Reyes was already there waiting for him.

Upon seeing Qin Miao, he smiled and stood up to give Qin Miao a hug.

“Long time no see, how was your weekend?”

“Spent time with my daughter and family, it was quite relaxing,” Qin Miao replied with a smile.

After they separated, Reyes sat down and said with a smile, “Having a daughter must bring a lot of joy, right? I can’t even imagine how happy I’d be to have such a little cutie by my side.”

Hearing Reyes’ words, Qin Miao instead gave a bitter smile, casually ordered a cup of coffee and said, “You’re not married yet, so you don’t know how destructive kids can be. Once you grow up a bit, have a family and kids, you’ll understand; although kids look cute on the outside, in reality, they’re little devils disrupting your sleep.” But after venting, Qin Miao didn’t forget to add, “But I can’t deny, the little one touches my heart constantly.”
