“I’m fine, Auntie . Don’t worry,” said Pudding while holding back tears . She opened the door to her room and slammed it behind her .
“Pudding, open the door . Auntie needs to talk to you . ”
“Auntie, go to sleep . I’m already really tired,” Pudding refused to open the door no matter what .
Qin Ning turned around, walked downstairs, and saw Qin Chu rubbing medicine on Little Bean .
“Oh my god, did you get hit by your mom?” Qin Ning exclaimed after seeing Little Bean’s red and swollen hands .
Little Bean nodded, with tears in her eyes .
“I’m sorry, Little Bean . Your grandpa accidentally sold you guys out . I already yelled at him . ” Qin Ning was just complaining to her dad about why he sold the two little ones out .
Qin Chu’s uncle was helpless too . Of course he didn’t want to get them in trouble, but his niece-in-law was too smart, and he couldn’t hide it away from her .
“We don’t blame Grandpa . Mommy is so smart, we wouldn’t have been able to keep this a secret anyways . ” Little Bean was being pretty open about it .
“Big Brother, let me put the medicine on for her . ” Qin Ning knelt down .
Qin Chu was rubbing medicine on Little Bean carefully .
“It’s fine . I’ll take care of it . ” When it came to taking care of his daughter, he didn’t trust anyone but himself .
“Or maybe you should go check on Pudding . I think she’s in a bad mood . She was crying and went back to her room . ”
“Pudding doesn’t need any comforting . She is pretty introverted and she’ll think it through herself . ”
Qin Chu wasn’t worried about Pudding, but more worried about Little Bean, who got hit .
The whole family stayed up late and Little Bean was already sleepy . Qin Chu carried her back upstairs .
While he carried Little Bean back to the room, Pudding was still awake .
She sat inside the room by herself with both of her eyes red like a little rabbit .
“Pudding,” called Qin Chu .
She turned around .
“Your sister is asleep . She was hurt today, so please take good care of her, will you?” Qin Chu asked in a gentle voice .
“Okay . ” Pudding nodded .
“Get some rest . We’ll be flying to Grandpa’s home tomorrow . ”
“Yes, Daddy . ”
“Okay, good . ” Qin Chu held Pudding, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and was about to turn around and leave .
“Daddy…”
“Yes?” Qin Chu turned around and said in a low voice .
“I’m sorry for what happened today . ”
“Don’t worry . You are Daddy’s daughter, so no matter what you do, Daddy will forgive you . Your Mommy loves you two a lot too . That’s why she was strict with you . Don’t blame her . ”
“Mommy was right . Everything she said was right . I was too selfish . I almost caused huge trouble again, and I let Sister take the blame for me . Daddy, even I look down on myself for doing this . What Mommy said was right . I got my coolness and calmness from you, but I don’t have your sense of responsibility . I know I let you down this time . ”
“No, Daddy doesn’t think that,” Qin Chu comforted Pudding in a gentle voice .
“In the future, I won’t be this naughty, ever again . I will behave better when we get back and won’t let Mommy and Daddy down again . ”
Pudding thought about this for the whole night and realized a lot . It seemed like she had made up her mind to behave better .
This time, the fact that Little Bean got hit because of her was a huge deal for her and made her think hard .
“Good, Daddy is looking forward to your improved behavior . ”
Afterward, Qin Chu walked out of the twins’ room and back to his room .
Once he walked in, he saw Huo Mian sitting on the bay window, wearing one of his loose white shirts and showing her smooth and white legs .
She looked sexy and different from her usual style .
What’s more, was that there was even a cigarette in her mouth .
It was only when Huo Mian was feeling extremely depressed that she smoked . Qin Chu understood her behavior .
“Honey, why are you smoking again?” Qin Chu walked over, took the cigarette, and pressed it down onto the ashtray .
“I suddenly feel like I’m a loser,” Huo Mian said with self-pity .
“Everything’s fine, why would you say that?” Qin Chu sat behind her, and he moved her shoulder over to his chest .
