The kids from the neighboring class who didn't get such good lunch were extremely envious. So, with a wave of his hand, Mr. Zhao had the whole crew donate their lunches. After that, the crew could only make do with instant noodles, biscuits, and bread as spare rations.
However, seeing the kids enjoy the boxed lunches that the crew had grown tired of, the crew, who hadn't realized their previous actions were a bit showy, began to reflect.
It should be said that Zhao Youting deserved some credit for this, but Qin Qiao'er was still avoiding him.
"Miss Qin, what are you doing here?"
Qin Qiao'er had found a deserted corner, planning to quickly finish her bread and then call Chen Chen and Wan Wan to check on them. She had only taken two bites when the voice behind her startled her so much that she choked.
She turned around and, as expected, saw the face she didn't want to see. "Cough, cough. Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"
"Looking for you."
Qin Qiao'er had just managed to wash down the stuck bread with a sip of mineral water when she almost spat out the water upon hearing this.
"Mr. Zhao, you're looking for me?"
A rare smile appeared on Zhao Youting's ice - cold face. He found this woman quite interesting.
"Yes. Also, I've said not to call me Mr. Zhao."
"But that's for the show. It would be inappropriate to call you otherwise in normal times." As she said this, Qin Qiao'er waved her hand as if to emphasize.
In her heart, she wished Zhao Youting would leave quickly.
"It's appropriate. If I say it's appropriate, it is." Zhao Youting's tone remained unchanged.
He really has the air of a domineering CEO. Qin Qiao'er didn't show it on her face, but she silently complained in her heart.
"Then... Youting, what on earth brought you to this corner to find me?"
Zhao Youting frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with this attitude, but still replied, "Don't you know, Miss Qin? The requirement for these two episodes today is to have lunch together too."
Qin Qiao'er was almost stunned. She just remembered that the director's team had indeed informed them that this shooting would be all - day, which naturally included lunchtime. She just hadn't paid attention because she was only focused on avoiding Zhao Youting.
"Alright..."
Seeing the camera crew that appeared right behind Zhao Youting, Qin Qiao'er felt a bit helpless.
"So what exactly were you doing, Miss Qin?" Zhao Youting asked politely, without any sign of impropriety.
"I was about to call Chen Chen and Wan Wan who just finished work to chat with them." Since she couldn't show any disharmony in front of the camera, Qin Qiao'er replied politely too.
"I see. I haven't seen them for a long time. How about we have an off - site call?"
After Zhao Youting said this, he glanced at the director who had just come over. The director, hearing this good thing that could add another hot topic and boost the popularity, quickly nodded.
"No problem."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Qiao'er had no choice but to make this call. What was supposed to be a simple daily greeting suddenly took on a different flavor.
At an angle that no one could see, including Zhao Youting, Qin Qiao'er quickly dialed the number.
"Beep—beep—"
Qin Qiao'er was praying that Tu Qinqin would answer the phone. Although they had reached a consensus that calls in this situation were usually to check on the babies.
"Hello, is that Mommy!" First came Wan Wan's voice, so cute that it made people's hearts flutter.
Although Qin Qiao'er didn't know what this little treasure would say that she couldn't control, she still couldn't help but love her own darling.
"Yes, it's Mommy. Mommy is recording a show right now."
Chen Chen's serious but extremely cute voice suddenly came in, "Then why did you call, Mommy? Is there something wrong? Do you need to talk to Aunt Qinqin?"
Hearing this, Qin Qiao'er seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
But she was interrupted by the man beside her, "Your mommy is making an off - site call. There's nothing wrong."
The two extra intonation words made Qin Qiao'er couldn't help but look at him.
This man, although speaking in a somewhat embarrassing tone, still had that ice - cold expression on his face.
And why are you butting in!
"Ah! Is that you, Uncle Youting...!"
Sure enough, these two little rascals almost added fuel to the fire and said something inappropriate at this time.
"Yes, it's me. How are you two doing recently?"
It was supposed to be her call with her two treasures, but now it had turned into a chat between them. Although she was a bit dissatisfied, Qin Qiao'er didn't dare to show it. She could only let the CEO push her aside and take over the call.
The director beside them was also excited. The long - awaited conversation between the two hot topics! He even started to think about how to write the highlights of tomorrow's show.
"I'm fine, and so is Wan Wan. We're busy but feel fulfilled every day." This official answer with a hint of baby voice was so cute that it was a real heart - melter.
Zhao Youting nodded secretly in his heart. This kid really had a bit of his own style, being cautious in speaking.
Just as he was about to praise the kid and return the call to Qin Qiao'er, who was staring at him intently for fear that he would kidnap the two kids, Wan Wan's milky voice came again.
"Is that Daddy Youting? Wan Wan has been very good. When will Uncle come to play with Wan Wan again? Wan Wan misses you a bit!"
This "Daddy Youting" and "I miss you" really touched Zhao Youting's heart, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
If they kept chatting like this, something would surely come out. She might end up on the hot search again tomorrow—along with Zhao Youting.
This definitely wouldn't do.
Qin Qiao'er quickly snatched the conversation back, "Wan Wan is a good girl. Uncle Youting is very busy with work. You mustn't cause him any trouble. Only then can you be a good kid."
Wan Wan was really sensible and immediately replied obediently, "Okay. Then Wan Wan will wait for Uncle Youting to come and play with me when he's not working."
Hearing that Wan Wan was really very well - behaved, although Zhao Youting knew that Qin Qiao'er was right about him having a lot of work to do recently, he still couldn't help but want to say, "Actually, I'm not that..."
But Qin Qiao'er's voice interrupted him, "Wan Wan is so good~ By the way, did you have fun at work today?"
"Fun. Wan Wan and brother ate delicious candies. The uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters here are also very nice to us. These clothes are so beautiful. Wan Wan likes them very much!"
"That's good. Remember to tell your brother to rest well after work. Mommy will be back later."
"Okay, Mommy. You should also work hard and don't quarrel with Uncle Youting anymore."
This made Qin Qiao'er blush a little. She didn't expect her two babies to worry about her work. But she still composed herself and replied, "Okay. Bye - bye."
