"I wonder if that stupid woman will be really surprised when she knows she's going to be on a reality show with me. What will her reaction be?" Zhao Youting rarely smiled.
"Oh no, no. You're definitely not the Zhao Youting I know!" Li Shanen looked at him as if she didn't recognize him at all.
Zhao Youting casually threw the cigarette case on the table at Li Shanen...
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I've got something to do, so I'll leave first. I'm okay with all the conditions you mentioned just now. I'll have my subordinates handle them." Li Shanen stood up from her seat.
"Okay, go ahead!" Zhao Youting also stood up.
Although they had been yelled at by Zhao Youting, the female employees in the company still couldn't help but sneak a peek at him. After all, both Zhao Youting and Li Shanen were really charming.
"Bye-bye!" Li Shanen waved to the female employees before walking out.
"Wow... He's so handsome!" Several employees' eyes sparkled with admiration.
"He's really a rose with thorns..." another female employee couldn't help but comment.
"Come on, use your head. How can you call a man a rose..." a male employee passing by couldn't help but tease.
This male employee had managed to get a job in Zhao's Group with the hope of dating a beautiful girl and marrying her. But once he got into the company, he realized that he didn't even register in the girls' eyes.
The male employee could only shake his head silently and walk away with a bitter smile.
"Thank you!" Qin Qiao'er thanked Zhang Ziyuan as soon as she saw they had arrived at her place.
Zhang Ziyuan didn't say anything. He just smiled, got out of the car, and opened the door for Qin Qiao'er.
"Let me help you carry these up. They seem quite heavy." Zhang Ziyuan took Qin Qiao'er's things out of the trunk.
"It's okay. This weight is nothing to me. I can even carry Chenchen and Wanan!" Qin Qiao'er posed to show how strong she was.
"Haha, okay then. You go up by yourself. I've also got something to do." Zhang Ziyuan handed the things to Qin Qiao'er. "Be careful!"
Qin Qiao'er took the things she had bought today with both hands and said with a smile, "Really thank you. It would be really difficult to take a taxi with all these things."
Just then, the wind suddenly picked up. Since Qin Qiao'er had her hair loose, the wind accidentally blew her hair into her eyes.
She was holding things in both hands. Just as she was about to free one hand to push the hair away, a warm body suddenly stood in front of her. Zhang Ziyuan gently pushed the hair away for her.
His warm hand touched Qin Qiao'er's eyelashes. Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Zhang Ziyuan was also a bit stunned. Qin Qiao'er's eyes were very beautiful, pure, and seemed to have a hint of blue.
Looking at the dazed Qin Qiao'er, Zhang Ziyuan couldn't help but laugh. After tidying up her hair, he retracted his hand very gentlemanly.
"What are you daydreaming about, Qiao'er?" Zhang Ziyuan gently tapped Qin Qiao'er on the head.
"Why are you just like Qinqin? You both like to tap my head..." Qin Qiao'er rubbed the place where she had been tapped.
"Are you really that afraid of pain?" Zhang Ziyuan said with a smile.
"You try getting tapped like this!" Qin Qiao'er pretended to go and tap him, but due to her height, she almost fell into Zhang Ziyuan's arms.
"Alright, I won't tap you anymore. Go upstairs quickly. It looks like it might rain." Zhang Ziyuan squinted his eyes. Already handsome, he looked even more charming.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Really thank you!" Qin Qiao'er thanked him again and then carried the things upstairs.
Finally getting into her home, Qin Qiao'er collapsed on the sofa. Shopping with Qinqin today had almost worn her feet out. Qin Qiao'er gently rubbed her ankles.
In her mind, she kept recalling the moment when Zhang Ziyuan had pushed her hair away. She had thought she would be attracted to him, but at that moment, she knew she wasn't. She was just a bit shy.
"Blah blah blah... What am I thinking!" Qin Qiao'er slapped her own face. Even if she liked Zhang Ziyuan, he wouldn't take a fancy to her, she analyzed, and then nodded to herself.
In her eyes, Zhang Ziyuan was like an idol. She liked him but didn't dare to hope that he would be hers.
Qin Qiao'er lay on the sofa, crossing her legs and watching TV. She dozed off unconsciously.
"Mummy... Mummy..." In her dream, Qin Qiao'er seemed to hear Chenchen and Wanan's voices.
What's this? It smells so good. No, I haven't picked up Chenchen and Wanan yet. Suddenly, Qin Qiao'er opened her eyes.
"Ah..." Seeing two cute little faces in front of her, Qin Qiao'er was really startled.
"Baby Chenchen, baby Wanan? Why are you back? Mummy hasn't picked you up yet..." Qin Qiao'er looked at Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanan in front of her in surprise.
She also pinched her own cheek to make sure she wasn't dreaming. The real pain woke Qin Qiao'er up completely.
"Mummy, stop pinching. We're really back." Qin Chenchen couldn't help but stop his mother's silly behavior.
"How did you get back?" Qin Qiao'er clearly remembered that she hadn't picked up the kids yet.
"Mummy, look..." Qin Chenchen pointed at Qinqin in the kitchen.
Qin Qiao'er's tears were almost falling. "Qinqin!"
Qinqin was busy cooking. All she could hear was the sound of the range hood and the spatula. She didn't hear Qin Qiao'er's words at all.
"Why did Aunt Qinqin pick you up?" Qin Qiao'er asked.
"Mummy, after school, we waited for you at the school gate, but you didn't come. Then we called you, but you didn't answer. So the teacher called Aunt Qinqin," Wanan said pitifully, as if Qin Qiao'er had done something wrong.
"Oh, my darlings. Mummy's sorry. Mummy was so tired that she fell asleep. Even the phone ringing couldn't wake Mummy up. There won't be a next time, okay?" Qin Qiao'er picked up Qin Wanan and kissed her affectionately.
"Mummy, maybe next time, Sister and I can take the bus back by ourselves," Qin Chenchen said to Qin Qiao'er like a little adult.
"Baby Chenchen, Mummy just made a mistake this one time. Please forgive Mummy, okay? Mummy promises there won't be a next time!" Qin Qiao'er said seriously, holding up three fingers.
"Mummy, I'm just afraid you'll be tired. I'm not blaming you..." Qin Chenchen couldn't help but say when he saw how serious his mother was.
"... Mummy loves you so much!" Qin Qiao'er also hugged Qin Chenchen.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Aren't you three hot? Hugging each other as soon as you wake up." Qinqin walked over with the just - cooked dishes.
