"Exactly, Dad. You know Mom is so silly. What if one day she's really seduced by another man? You definitely need to be around to keep an eye on her. So just find an excuse to make up quickly. Otherwise, once you lose this silly woman, you'll never find another like her."
Qin Wanwan deliberately exaggerated the situation, aiming to make the other person feel a sense of crisis.
Zhao Youting was also calculating in his mind. What the two kids said made sense.
Qin Qiao'er was such a silly woman. What if she really ran away with someone else? Then he'd be all alone. No, this situation must never happen.
He directly hugged the two kids into his arms and started playing around with them. The gloomy look on his face disappeared, replaced by a smile.
Sure enough, these two kids were his sons. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so partial to him. Looking at their chubby and adorable little faces, Zhao Youting's heart softened.
He reached out and stroked their little heads. Looking at their faces that resembled his own, he felt a strange chemical reaction in his heart. Indeed, like attracts like.
So, in this lifetime, he must hold onto Qin Qiao'er and these two twins tightly.
"Alright, you two little rascals. You're really Dad's nemesis. Dad's not angry anymore. Dad will listen to your mom's explanation properly."
He reached out and ruffled the kids' hair, then gave each of them a sweet kiss on the face.
Qin Chenchen glanced at Qin Wanwan and gave her a look that said "mission accomplished". His big, round eyes sparkled, looking extremely mischievous. He looked exactly like Qin Qiao'er when she was being naughty.
Qin Wanwan and he exchanged a knowing smile, looking like two little cats that had stolen the cream.
Of course, Zhao Youting didn't see this scene.
In the first - floor hall, Qin Qiao'er was pacing back and forth restlessly, looking like a headless fly.
"What should I do? It seems Zhao Youting is really angry this time. I hope Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan can calm him down... Ah!!"
Qin Qiao'er was almost going crazy. She never expected that Zhao Youting would take the kids out for dinner, and it just so happened that they were in the same restaurant.
"… Well, do I have to use my trump card?" She rubbed her forehead.
"But I've already used all my tricks. What trump card do I have left?"
She was muttering to herself. The butler standing beside her was staring at her with wide eyes.
The gray - haired butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, indicating that he was feeling a bit awkward.
Miss Qin Qiao'er and the young master had had a conflict this time. Although it wasn't a big deal, once the young master got angry, it would be difficult for them servants.
The young master had a relatively good temper when Miss Qin Qiao'er was around. But once he got angry, the situation was unimaginable.
"Um... Miss Qin Qiao'er, please forgive my rudeness. I don't know exactly what happened between you and the young master, but I've never seen the young master this angry before."
He looked at Qin Qiao'er, paused for a moment, and said in a rather vicissitudinous tone, "I've watched the young master grow up. Although the young master can be a bit stubborn and childish at times..."
Just as the butler said this, Zhao Youting was slowly walking down the stairs. The butler had his back to Zhao Youting, so he didn't see the momentary embarrassment on Zhao Youting's face.
Zhao Youting never expected that his butler would speak ill of him in front of Qin Qiao'er.
Just as he was feeling angry inside, the butler continued, "But the young master is really a caring person. And he truly likes you, Miss. He always talks about you when he's at home... Also, he often looks at your photos and smiles to himself. Oh, and..."
"Enough!"
Before the butler could finish, his words were interrupted by a deep voice.
The butler was startled and quickly turned around. He saw Zhao Youting standing behind him, looking at him seriously.
He looked very serious, but the slightly red cheeks still showed his embarrassment.
How could this happen? How could the butler tell Qin Qiao'er all these things? It made him look like a lovesick fool...
It had to be said that Zhao Youting was extremely embarrassed now.
He never thought the butler would say such things. This was so embarrassing!
"Young master... I'm sorry. I spoke out of turn." The butler glanced at Zhao Youting and then at Qin Qiao'er, then quickly walked out of the living room, sensibly leaving the space for the two of them.
"You!"
"You!"
The two of them blurted out almost at the same time, then looked at each other, their eyes full of complexity.
Qin Qiao'er's heart was full at this moment, because just now she learned from the butler how much Zhao Youting loved her.
Actually, she always knew, but hearing it from someone else made it even more heart - fluttering.
The two of them just stood there. Zhao Youting's expression suddenly became serious. He reached out his hand towards her.
"Come here!" His voice was gentle and magnetic.
Qin Qiao'er suddenly laughed and rushed towards him, hugging his lean waist tightly. Her embrace was extremely warm, instantly melting Zhao Youting's cold face.
Zhao Youting looked down at the woman in his arms tenderly, feeling that there was no more satisfying moment than this.
"What were you going to say just now?" He chuckled softly, finally letting Qin Qiao'er off the hook.
Qin Qiao'er pouted her lips and looked at him with a mischievous smile. "Didn't you also have something to tell me just now? You go first!"
He was slightly stunned, then reached out and gently tapped her cute little nose.
"Okay, I'll go first. I... shouldn't have lost my temper with you so badly just now. It's all my fault. Can you forgive me?"
With his pleasant voice and his incredibly handsome face, it should have been a happy scene. But Qin Qiao'er's eyes were a bit red.
She shook her head and hugged Zhao Youting's waist even tighter, wishing she could merge her whole body into his.
"I forgive you! But I'm also wrong. I... won't get so close to other men in the future. Can you not get jealous so easily?"
Qin Qiao'er looked up at him with her big, beautiful eyes, looking like a pitiful little deer.
"I can't help it! You don't know. You're... just too charming. I can't help but want to hide you away so that no one else can see you."
