Chapter 33 - Ah Well, She Is My Daughter (1)
Chen Qinyan’s hair was still half wet. The droplets on his hair glistened under the light, making him seem even more gorgeous.
Seeing the adult and the child standing in front of the desk, he paused for a little before he walked toward them.
Chen Qinyan, “What are you doing?”
As soon as she saw her father, Chen Mian, who had obviously done this a few times in the past, immediately jumped off the little stool and kicked the fountain pen on the floor to one side as she gave him the sweetest smile and said, “I am giving mom a tour of the study, of course.”
Ye Qing, on the other hand, was embarrassed that she had found the activity of knocking someone’s pen onto the floor entertaining.
She blushed a little and had no idea how it was possible that she was influenced by a 3-year-old girl.
She wondered what kind of a tragic childhood that she had in her memories that she couldn’t recall that would lead her to have so much fun when playing such a childish game with a kid.
Regressing! She was regressing, for sure!
Ye Qing, having done some self-reflection, naturally met Chen Qinyan in his eyes, smiled and complimented, “Your study is so spacious, and the decorations are very classy as well.”
“Oh, thank you,” said Chen Qinyan nonchalantly. He stopped three steps or so from Ye Qing and looked down at the fountain pen that was lying on the floor next to her.
Standing next to Ye Qing, little kiddo Chen Mian’s heart skipped a beat. Oops, she’d forgotten to tell her mommy what she needed to be aware of before they started the game. Now mommy, who didn’t successfully conceal the evidence, was about to be caught red-handed by dad meow!
It was instinctual that little kiddo Chen Mian liked to listen to the sound of little things falling off a desk. Dad would scold her every time he saw her doing that.
She had already made a lot of improvements and learned how to control herself. She had stopped pushing off just about anything with the exception of sneaking into her daddy’s study and toying with his fountain pens.
She’d usually put the fountain pen back where she found it before daddy returned and pretended that nothing had happened.
Everything was fine and she had never been caught by dad!
And now! They were about to be caught meow!
She wouldn’t even be able to play with the fountain pen anymore in the future meow!
As a kitten, Chen Mian felt that that would be unusually cruel. QAQ
To her surprise, as she watched her kind, tender, and smart mother, showing no signs of nervousness, lowered her head, took a look at the fountain pen and said in a surprised tone, “Oh mi, Mr. Chen, your fountain pen fell.”
Chen Qinyan’s alluring face was still emotionless. He looked coldly at Ye Qing. His tone wasn’t stern, but had a hint of unmistakable coldness, “I seemed to remember I placed it inside my notebook before I stepped away?”
“Oh, then maybe Mianmian had bumped into it accidentally,” said Ye Qing casually.
Little kiddo Chen Mian, who was standing to one side and worried for her mom, blinked her pitiful-looking large eyes and looked at her.
Mommy, did you just sell me out?
“Kids her age are usually quite active. She probably didn’t even notice it herself,” said Ye Qing as she bent down and picked up the fountain pen with the most natural action and casually placed it back on the desk. “She’s still young. It’s not a big deal.”
Chen Qinyan looked at her coldly and didn’t say a word.
Ye Qing didn’t really care what Chen Qinyan has to say. After she had explained it away, she walked over, patted Chen Mian on her soft little head, and said softly, “Mianmian, daddy has come back to work some more. What say we go play outside?”
Her mommy’s hand was warm and strong.
Little kiddo Chen Mian recovered right away and completely forgotten what her mom had just said to her dad.
That wasn’t selling her out; she was improvising!
Mommy was so awesome meow!
