chapter 40 Unexpected Developments Would you like me to translate the full chapter text as well?

Tu Qinqin paced restlessly in the room. She had been quite busy lately and hadn't had the time to look after the two kids and Qin Qiao'er. She knew that they had gone to celebrate Chenchen and Wanwan's birthdays together today.

However, looking at the already dark sky, Tu Qinqin felt a twinge of anxiety. What she feared most was that Qin Qiao'er might run into Song Qianqian. That woman was no easy opponent!

Moreover, Qin Qiao'er was with two kids. If something were to happen...

Tu Qinqin shook her head vigorously. How could anything happen? She really did tend to let her imagination run wild when she was alone! Tu Qinqin gave a self - deprecating smile.

The sound of the door opening interrupted Tu Qinqin's train of thought. She quickly rushed to the door. Seeing Qin Qiao'er holding a child in her arms, the stone in her heart finally dropped!

Looking at the man behind Qin Qiao'er, Tu Qinqin smiled and said teasingly, "I was wondering why it was so late. So you had a handsome escort!"

Zhang Ziyuan pursed his lips and smiled. The white light made the man look even fairer, and his handsome face seemed a bit melancholy.

"What are you talking about! Isn't it because there were so many people? We played too late. Fortunately, Ziyuan helped me carry the kids. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known how to get back." Qin Qiao'er rolled her eyes at Tu Qinqin. She really had no idea what was going on in Tu Qinqin's head all day long!

"Okay, okay, I know. You've worked hard, my lady!" Tu Qinqin replied with a perfunctory smile.

"Help me take Chenchen to the room! Let the two of them sleep well!" Qin Qiao'er said to Tu Qinqin.

"I'll do it. You sit down and have a glass of water. It's really troublesome for you to take care of our Qiao'er!" Tu Qinqin took Chenchen from Zhang Ziyuan.

"It's not troublesome." Zhang Ziyuan smiled and said.

Tu Qinqin followed Qin Qiao'er to put the two kids to bed in the room. Looking at the sleeping kids, Tu Qinqin sighed and said, "You've worked hard."

"This is exactly why I don't want Chenchen and Wanwan to debut. They're still young. I don't want them to go through all this so early." Qin Qiao'er said, lowering her eyes.

"Don't worry. If it doesn't work out, we'll just quit. Besides, these two kids are very sensible. Don't worry anymore." Tu Qinqin patted Qin Qiao'er on the shoulder.

"Okay." Qin Qiao'er replied softly.

"However, how come Zhang Ziyuan came back with you? Something's up!" Tu Qinqin said with a teasing smile.

Qin Qiao'er rolled her eyes. She really shouldn't have had any expectations for Tu Qinqin! Without answering Tu Qinqin, Qin Qiao'er went straight to the living room.

"Thank you so much today. You..." Qin Qiao'er said as she looked at Zhang Ziyuan. It was getting quite late, and she said somewhat uncomfortably.

"I'll leave first. You should rest early." Zhang Ziyuan saw Qin Qiao'er's embarrassment, smiled, and then left.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble!" Qin Qiao'er said with a smile.

Zhang Ziyuan didn't say a word. He took a look at the woman and then left directly.

"Alright, he's gone! Go wash up and go to bed quickly! It's going to be very busy recently. A lot of shows are looking for you guys. I'll check which ones are suitable for you." Tu Qinqin slumped on the sofa and said with a smile.

"Okay! I'm really lucky to have you! You've worked hard too!" Qin Qiao'er said as she threw herself on Tu Qinqin.

"Enough! Do you want to murder me? Cough, cough!" Tu Qinqin was almost out of breath under her weight.

"Of course not! How could I bear to do that~" Qin Qiao'er rubbed against the woman's arm. She was really grateful to Tu Qinqin. Tu Qinqin had helped her so much! For Qin Qiao'er, Tu Qinqin was both a friend and family.
