Qin Qiao'er's face turned ashen. "Qin Qin, you know me. I'll never let them debut."
"They're still so young. I won't let them earn a living at such an early age. I'll raise them myself." Qin Qiao'er's eyes were firm and decisive.
"Qiao Qiao, why don't you listen to my advice just this once? It's the best choice for you. Besides, they'll only take on jobs during holidays or weekends." Tu Qinqin said while observing Qin Qiao'er's expression.
"No way. I firmly disagree."
Tu Qinqin knew Qin Qiao'er's stubborn nature. Once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.
After trying every means, Tu Qinqin finally gave up. It seemed that this was an unfeasible suggestion.
Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed. Qin Qiao'er glanced at Tu Qinqin. "Okay, don't worry. I'll win the grand prize." She broke into a big smile and coquettishly leaned towards Tu Qinqin.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Tu Qinqin was really at a loss with Qin Qiao'er.
In the following days, they were all busy with their own things. Life was fulfilling, and time seemed to pass quickly.
Qin Qiao'er got off work early and went straight to pick up Wanwan and Chenchen. "Mummy's here. Let's go home and cook something delicious." She took their tender little hands.
"Wow, Mummy, I want to eat dumplings."
"I want sweet - and - sour spareribs," Chenchen said excitedly.
"Sure, Mummy will cook whatever you want," Qin Qiao'er said dotingly.
They went straight to the supermarket to buy ingredients. Qin Qiao'er was proud that her two little treasures were very well - behaved.
After buying the ingredients, Qin Qiao'er finally decided to buy them some snacks as an exception. It was a child's nature to like candies and snacks. She didn't usually buy them much, but today she wanted to make them happy.
Busy with work, she rarely had time to accompany them. Although she felt heart - wrenching, there was nothing she could do. Her eyes were filled with a strange emotion.
"Mummy, Wanwan will carry this for you so we can go home and cook delicious food faster," Wanwan said like a little adult.
"Okay, carry this for Mummy and hold it."
Chenchen took it and walked forward on his own. Qin Qiao'er couldn't help but smile bitterly. Her son was like this. He didn't talk much but took good care of his sister.
She looked at the children beside her with relief. Their arrival had warmed her life.
"Wanwan, come and carry this small one. Let's quickly catch up with your brother."
"Okay," she said and took small steps forward.
There was a crowd at the entrance of the neighboring community. People were chattering about something, and faintly, cries could be heard. There were also police cars and ambulances parked on the side of the road.
It was obvious that something had happened. "Wanwan and your brother wait here for Mummy. Mummy will be back soon." Qin Qiao'er stepped forward to find out what had happened.
"It's because they didn't watch the child well. The child fell from the building and died on the spot. It's really a tragedy," a woman in her sixties said regretfully. Then she said to Qin Qiao'er, "Your two kids are so cute. You have to watch them well."
She saw the mother who had fainted from crying in front, and her eyes involuntarily turned red. Since becoming a mother, her heart had become softer and softer.
A sense of fear came over her, and she couldn't help but worry.
"Mummy, what's going on there? Why are there so many people?" Chenchen looked confused.
"It's just a little kitten that can't find its way home. The police uncle is helping it find its home," Qin Qiao'er said.
"Mummy, the police uncle is really amazing," Wanwan said innocently, looking at her.
Chenchen behind her looked skeptical but didn't expose her lie.
"Let's go home and cook delicious food."
Qin Qiao'er was busy in the kitchen with skilled movements, cooking a delicious meal for the two little kids. One couldn't tell that such a woman was so earthly. For a moment, a precious quality surrounded her.
Such a woman was really attractive. Years had not diminished Qin Qiao'er's beauty; instead, it had added a charming allure to her.
"Come on, the delicious dumplings and sweet - and - sour spareribs are ready. Whoever comes to get the chopsticks and bowls will get a special treat."
"Coming, coming," the two kids ran to the kitchen shouting, looking like two cute little penguins.
"It's so delicious," they said happily, smacking their little mouths.
Qin Qiao'er was also infected by the two little treasures, and her face was filled with happiness.
Recently, Tu Qinqin had been very busy and hadn't come to see Qin Qiao'er for several days. What happened in the neighboring community today made her very worried about the kids. Qinqin was busy, and she didn't have time to be with them all the time.
She had to think of a good way; otherwise, she couldn't be at ease with Chenchen and Wanwan.
She had just returned to China not long ago. Besides Qinqin, the only person she trusted was Zhang Ziyuan. After some thought, she decided to ask Zhang Ziyuan for help.
After sending Chenchen and Wanwan to school, Qin Qiao'er went back to the pet store to find Zhang Ziyuan.
It was a peaceful scene. Zhang Ziyuan was carefully feeding the little kittens. He was a clean - looking man, tenderly taking care of these kittens and puppies at this moment.
Zhang Ziyuan turned around and saw Qin Qiao'er standing at the door. "Why are you here? Don't you have to go to work?"
Qin Qiao'er told Zhang Ziyuan the purpose of her visit in detail. "I can help with this, but I can't guarantee that they'll be perfectly fine with me. However, I can guarantee that at least there won't be any safety issues."
Qin Qiao'er breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid he would refuse when she came, but unexpectedly, it went so smoothly. Now she was only filled with gratitude and appreciation.
"As long as they can stay with you until I get off work."
"That's okay," Zhang Ziyuan replied readily.
"Don't worry. I'll pay you a certain amount of money every month," Qin Qiao'er added. She had to do this whether he agreed or not; otherwise, she would feel too indebted to him.
"You're being too polite. I like Chenchen and Wanwan and am happy to play with them," Zhang Ziyuan said sincerely.
"Brother Zhang, it's really too much trouble for you. I don't even know how to thank you."
"Never mind. You'd better go to work first. Let's just settle this." He urged Qin Qiao'er to go to work.
He watched Qin Qiao'er walk out, his eyes filled with complex emotions. They seemed close but also far away.
With things arranged, she could go to work with peace of mind. Earning more money was worth it for her two little treasures.
Tu Qinqin hadn't had time to visit Qin Qiao'er for several days. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. She had been extremely busy these days, so she hadn't come.
Coincidentally, today she finished all her work, so she went directly to Qin Qiao'er's filming set to visit her. "Qiao'er." Qin Qiao'er heard someone calling her name and turned to see Qinqin whom she hadn't seen for several days.
"You still remember to come and see me. I thought you had disappeared," she said aggrievedly.
"How dare I? I've really been busy these two days."
"Now I'm here," Tu Qinqin quickly explained. Looking at the calm - faced Qin Qiao'er, she took her hand and shook it, asking for her forgiveness.
Qin Qiao'er was helpless. "Okay, I forgive you." The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
