Chapter 2182: Chapter 2181: Ziyi and Qingqing—Extra Story I

A certain aristocratic school in G City

Because Qin Mu was participating in a competition today, he reminded Zhang Minghui to pick up Qingqing after school.

Qingqing packed her bag and was just about to get up when a little boy ran over, handed her a piece of white chocolate, and said with a smile, “Qingqing, my mom brought this back from abroad. I saved it specially for you.”

Qingqing’s eyes lit up at the sight of the chocolate, but then she turned her head and saw Zhang Minghui entering from the classroom door. She reluctantly licked her lips and shook her head to refuse, “I can’t take your chocolate.”

“Why not? Don’t you love chocolate the most?”

The boy asked with a puzzled expression.

“If she wants chocolate, she’ll buy it herself.”

A slightly displeased voice came from the door.

The boy looked up to see Zhang Minghui approaching, his eyes flickering guiltily. Seeing Qin Qingqing happily shouting “Brother Little Hui,” he had no choice but to put away the chocolate and return to his seat.

After Zhang Minghui saw him leave, he glanced at him again, then picked up Qin Qingqing’s backpack and slung it over his shoulder, gently saying, “Qingqing, let’s go home.”

“Hasn’t Brother Ziyi come back yet?”

Qingqing followed Zhang Minghui out of the classroom, looking up at him.

Zhang Minghui nodded, “He won’t return to school after the competition; he’ll come straight home.”

“Brother Little Hui.”

Qin Qingqing pursed her pink lips and called softly.

Zhang Minghui smiled slightly, “What’s wrong?”

“Can you not tell Brother Ziyi about what just happened?”

Her long eyelashes blinked, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Zhang Minghui.

“Are you afraid Ziyi will be angry?” Zhang Minghui asked back instead of answering.

Qin Qingqing nodded, “Brother Ziyi said I have bad teeth and can’t eat sweet things, so I haven’t had candy or chocolate in a long time.”

Actually, Qingqing’s teeth weren’t that bad, but because when she was younger, Mo Ziye often gave her candy, so when she first complained of a toothache, Mo Ziye restricted her sugar intake.

Seeing Qin Qingqing’s pitiful look, Zhang Minghui’s heart softened. After a moment’s hesitation, he took two pieces of chocolate from his pocket, “This chocolate is for you.”

“Chocolate.”

Qin Qingqing’s eyes instantly sparkled like stars, and without thinking, she reached out and took the chocolate from Zhang Minghui’s hand, fearing he might change his mind and not give it to her.

Seeing her greedy look, Zhang Minghui couldn’t help but laugh.

“Eat it now, then drink a lot of water and rinse your mouth as soon as you get home, so Ziyi won’t know you had chocolate.”

Zhang Minghui advised as they went downstairs.

Qin Qingqing just nodded and started unwrapping the chocolate to eat.

The taste was simply too good.

She didn’t want to eat it all at once, so she popped half into her mouth and then pulled it back out, taking just a tiny bite first.

“Brother Little Hui, do you want some?”

“I don’t eat it.” Zhang Minghui shook his head with a smile.

He didn’t like eating sweets. When Auntie gave him chocolate last night, he didn’t really want it, but thought of Qingqing who loved it.

Sure enough, today with Ziyi busy at a competition, he took the opportunity to give Qingqing the chocolate.

“Brother Little Hui, you’re so nice, not like Brother Ziyi who won’t let me have any.” Qin Qingqing complimented Zhang Minghui while eating chocolate.

Zhang Minghui said gently, “Your Brother Ziyi is doing it for your own good. Last time your toothache scared him, so he doesn’t dare let you have too much sweet stuff now. But having a little bit occasionally is okay.”

That’s something he read online.

“Yeah, last time Uncle also said that as long as I don’t eat too much, it’s fine. But Brother Ziyi is so stingy, Brother Ziyi is mean.”

At just six years old, Qingqing understood that Brother Ziyi wouldn’t let her eat candy to prevent her toothache, but being a child, seeing other kids have candy while she couldn’t, she felt Brother Ziyi was mean.

“Qingqing, you mustn’t say Brother Ziyi is mean, if he finds out he’ll be mad.”

“As long as you don’t tell Brother Ziyi, he won’t know.”

Qingqing playfully stuck out her tongue, her eyes sparkling as if filled with tiny diamonds.

From the classroom to the school gate, Zhang Minghui and Qingqing walked particularly slowly. She not only finished the chocolate but also had a few sips of water before meeting up with Momo and Xin Xin to eliminate the chocolate taste in her mouth.

Back in the suburbs, An Lin came just in time to pick up Qingqing.

Learning about Ziyi’s competition, An Lin took the opportunity to take her daughter home for dinner.

Since they initially let Qingqing live with the Mo family, she rarely returned home to stay, only when she was angry with Ziyi would she huffily return to her “maternal home.”

Even so, she wouldn’t stay more than two days.

As soon as Ziyi coaxed her, she would happily return home with him to the Mo family.

“Qingqing, Brother Ziyi will be back at night. Would you like to come home and have dinner with Mom? Dad’s cooking your favorite chicken feet.”

“I’ll go home to eat.”

Qingqing, a typical little foodie, blinked her eyes and agreed happily.

“Qingqing, if you go home, what will happen if Brother Ziyi comes back and can’t find you?” laughed Momo.

They were already used to having this little sister Qingqing around.

“Sister Momo, if Brother Ziyi comes back, tell him I’m sleeping with Mom tonight.” Qingqing felt it was safer to go home and stay.

A few days ago, Brother Ziyi had been mad at her for secretly eating a few candies. If he found out she secretly ate two pieces of chocolate today, he’d definitely be angry too.

She didn’t want Brother Ziyi to discover she had sneaked chocolate again.

“Okay.”

Momo nodded and went into the villa hand in hand with Xin Xin.

An Lin took Qingqing home, where Qin Mu was busy in the kitchen. Qingqing dashed into the kitchen like a joyful little bird, flinging herself into Qin Mu’s arms and happily shouting, “Dad, I missed you.”

“My darling, if you miss me, why didn’t you come home to see me?”

Qin Mu’s handsome face blossomed with a gentle smile. He bent down and lifted Qingqing into his arms.

Qingqing gave him a loud kiss on his handsome face, “Dad, I’m home now, aren’t I?”

“What did you eat?”

The next second, Qin Mu looked at Qingqing’s little mouth with a smiling gaze.

Qingqing’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. Quickly, she raised her hand to cover her small mouth, her eyes filled with a flattering smile, “Dad.”

“Did you sneak some sweets while your Brother Ziyi wasn’t around?”

“I didn’t eat sweets, I had chocolate, and it was only two pieces.” Qingqing deliberately lowered her voice and glanced at the kitchen door.

“So, you secretly ate chocolate and came home to avoid Brother Ziyi finding out?” No one understands a daughter like her father; Qin Mu knew his daughter well.

When Qingqing was little, Ziyi liked to sneak her candies behind the adults’ backs, but after she complained of a toothache at four years old.

Ziyi and the adults’ roles had switched.
