"Really?" Qin Qiao'er said happily. She had thought she had no hope, but unexpectedly, she had made it to the next round.
"Yes, congratulations, Miss Qin. Your performance was outstanding," the director affirmed. Although Qin Qiao'er hadn't finished her performance at that time, it was obvious that she had a solid foundation.
Moreover, considering her rumored relationship with Zhao Youting, whether it was true or not, just to be on the safe side, the director didn't dare to provoke Qin Qiao'er.
"Okay, I'll prepare well," Qin Qiao'er said, and then the director hung up the phone.
Qin Qiao'er happily said to Tu Qinqin, "Qinqin, I've made it to the next round!"
"Look at how happy you are. I don't even need to guess. I knew you'd pass. Otherwise, what do you think that rumor was for?" Tu Qinqin lifted her nose, looking as if she had seen through everything.
"By the way, I'll go and visit Mimi tomorrow. It's my great benefactor," Qin Qiao'er slapped her head, realizing that she had actually forgotten about Mimi.
Tu Qinqin rolled her eyes and carried the dishes to the sink to wash them.
"Qinqin, you're really the best woman in the world. You can cook and wash the dishes," Qin Qiao'er blinked her big eyes, pouted her lips, and coquettishly said to Tu Qinqin.
"Just stay away from me..." Tu Qinqin didn't even want to talk to this woman anymore.
The next day, Qin Qiao'er got up unusually early. However, Tu Qinqin had already arrived at the company to start her day as a strong - willed career woman.
Qin Qiao'er carefully prepared breakfast for Wanan and Chenchen and left a note before going out.
After walking for more than ten minutes, she arrived at Zhang Ziyuan's pet store. "Is anyone there?" Qin Qiao'er pushed the door open and walked in.
"Yes, wait a minute!" Zhang Ziyuan's voice came from inside the room.
"Okay," Qin Qiao'er obediently stood outside the door.
After a while, the door was finally opened. Zhang Ziyuan came out holding a dog mother about to give birth.
"You're here, Miss Qin. Is your leg better?" Zhang Ziyuan said as he put the dog mother in a basket.
"Yes, my leg is fine. Look, I can jump around," Qin Qiao'er even did a little spin to show that she was really okay.
Zhang Ziyuan looked at Qin Qiao'er, and his handsome face broke into a smile. Qin Qiao'er blushed inexplicably when she saw him. She silently scolded herself for blushing at a handsome guy at her age.
However, everyone has a preference for beautiful things, so Qin Qiao'er didn't blame herself too much.
"Who's this dog mother?" Qin Qiao'er shifted her attention and looked at the hard - working dog mother.
Zhang Ziyuan frowned slightly and said, "This is a dog mother I picked up from the same place as Mimi. She was too weak before, so I could only bring her here yesterday. She's still recuperating."
Qin Qiao'er said in surprise, "From the same place as Mimi. Is she Mimi's sister?"
"Haha, maybe. But she's very close to Mimi. Look..." Qin Qiao'er saw Mimi rush out of the room and rub its head against the dog mother.
"Ah! Mimi..." Qin Qiao'er squatted down and hugged Mimi.
Mimi also affectionately licked Qin Qiao'er's face, and Qin Qiao'er laughed happily.
Zhang Ziyuan, standing beside them, watched Qin Qiao'er smiling brightly and couldn't help but feel happy himself.
She looks so beautiful when she smiles...
Qin Qiao'er noticed Zhang Ziyuan staring at her in a daze. She stood up with Mimi in her arms. "Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Ziyuan came back to his senses. "What's up?"
"Is Mimi fully recovered?" Qin Qiao'er stroked Mimi's head.
"Yes, look, it's completely well," Zhang Ziyuan said with a smile.
"That's good. Mimi is my benefactor. It saved my life!" Qin Qiao'er rubbed her face against Mimi.
"Mimi really likes you!" Zhang Ziyuan gently looked at Qin Qiao'er and Mimi.
Qin Qiao'er blushed again. She quickly thought of changing the topic. "Mr. Zhang, could you call me when the dog mother is about to give birth? I really want to see the puppies."
"Sure. It should be in a few days. I'll leave the naming rights to you then," Zhang Ziyuan said with a gentle smile.
"Ah! Really..." Qin Qiao'er excitedly grabbed Zhang Ziyuan's hand.
"Yeah," Zhang Ziyuan looked at Qin Qiao'er in front of him. For some reason, he always thought this woman was very cute, different from anyone he had met before.
Qin Qiao'er chatted with Zhang Ziyuan some more about Mimi. When it was almost time for lunch and she remembered that Chenchen and Wanan were still at home, she thanked Zhang Ziyuan and then went home with Mimi in her arms.
"Kids, mommy's back!" Qin Qiao'er pushed the door open, expecting her two kids to rush up and hug her. But no one was there.
Are they still in bed? Qin Qiao'er curiously walked into the room, but there was still no one. She started to get anxious and shouted, "Chenchen, Wanan! Where are you? Don't scare mom!"
However, there was no response. Qin Qiao'er instantly panicked and quickly called Tu Qinqin.
"Hello!" Tu Qinqin's rough voice came from the other end of the phone. For some reason, hearing Tu Qinqin's voice made Qin Qiao'er feel a little better.
"Qinqin, do you know where Chenchen and Wanan are?" Qin Qiao'er asked anxiously.
"Ah! They're with me. I sent you a message. Didn't you see it?" Tu Qinqin said helplessly.
"What!" Qin Qiao'er was on the verge of tears. She had almost thought the worst about Chenchen and Wanan...
"You! Are you really their mother? You're so unreliable..." Tu Qinqin knew that Qin Qiao'er must have been scared, so she scolded her to distract her.
"I didn't do it on purpose. Humph!" Qin Qiao'er said discontentedly. "But why did you take Chenchen and Wanan out?"
"Since you're not working today and I'm free, we're going to the amusement park. Otherwise, when will you have time to take them there?" Tu Qinqin knew that entertainers' schedules were often out of their own control. Since she had chosen to let Qin Qiao'er pursue this career, she had to think for her.
Qin Qiao'er was silent for a moment. "Wait for me. I'll be there soon!"
Qin Qiao'er immediately went out with Mimi in her arms. After a while, she arrived at the address Tu Qinqin had sent her.
"Mommy!" Qin Qiao'er hugged Chenchen and Wanan. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
"Kids, mommy will take you to have fun in the whole amusement park today!" Qin Qiao'er said boldly.
"Mommy, do you have enough money?" Qin Chenchen looked at Qin Qiao'er with hesitant eyes.
Qin Wanan and Qin Qiao'er both instinctively looked at Tu Qinqin. "Qinqin..."
Tu Qinqin couldn't stand people acting coquettishly with her. She quickly interrupted, "Fine, fine, fine! I'll pay. You little demons!"
