He held her helplessly, his heart filled with love. There was nothing he could do. Whenever he thought about his beloved always being in the public eye, he couldn't help but wonder how many men secretly had a crush on her.
Just thinking about it made him burn with anger.
Zhao Youting was actually a man with a strong possessive streak. He couldn't stand it when the woman he loved got too close to other men. However... no matter how possessive he was, he would never do anything to hurt Qin Qiao'er.
He knew that Qin Qiao'er wanted to be self - reliant. She wasn't the kind of woman who relied on men. Since he loved her, he had to give her freedom, independence, self - respect, and a strong backing.
However, things never went as he wished. No one knew how angry he was when he saw Qin Qiao'er having dinner with that Xia Hankong. He even wanted to go up and strangle that man.
But... he wouldn't do that.
Looking at the woman in his arms, he gave a bitter and self - deprecating smile. "Sorry, I know my personality might be hard to accept."
After a brief pause, he continued, "I'll rein myself in from now on. You can rest assured."
He made up his mind to love his woman in the right way, not to put her in a difficult position. That's what a good man should do.
Hearing this, Qin Qiao'er was extremely excited. Hearing such words from Zhao Youting made her feel like she was floating on air.
"Zhao Youting, what if I love you even more now?" Her eyes were full of him as she couldn't help but offer her red lips.
Her rosy lips were like a budding rose, waiting for Zhao Youting to pick. How could Zhao Youting resist?
He immediately tilted his head slightly, eager to pick this thorny rose himself.
The distance between them was getting closer. Qin Qiao'er could even smell the faint scent of cold pine mixed with cologne on Zhao Youting. Their warm breaths mingled, and both of them were getting emotional.
"Mommy, Daddy, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, a tender childish voice rang out. The two people who were about to kiss immediately separated, as if they weren't the ones who had just been hugging tightly.
The shout came from Qin Wanwan. She was much more innocent than Qin Chenchen. That shout was an involuntary one.
Qin Chenchen was winking and making faces on the side, while Qin Wanwan still looked completely oblivious.
Qin Chenchen couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, indicating that his sister was hopeless.
"Qin Chenchen, Qin Wanwan, why did you come without telling Mommy?" Qin Qiao'er's face was as red as an apple from afar.
"Mommy, we're hungry. Daddy promised to take us for dinner just now, but we haven't eaten anything yet."
Qin Wanwan pouted and then reached out to rub her little tummy, looking pitiful.
Hearing this, Zhao Youting started to blame himself. How could he forget such a thing? The two babies were at the stage of growing up, and yet he had delayed such an important thing.
Qin Qiao'er had also figured out what had happened. It seemed that Zhao Youting had taken the two babies out for dinner but happened to run into her and Xia Hankong...
"Qin Qiao'er, let's go out for dinner with the kids together. I'm hungry too."
He turned to look at Qin Qiao'er. How could Qin Qiao'er refuse him?
"Sure! Let's go. I just know a children's restaurant. Your Sister Qinqin found it a few days ago and recommended it to me. Chenchen, Wanwan, I'll take you there."
The two cute babies were real foodies. Although they usually acted like little adults, once it came to food, their true nature as foodies would be revealed.
"Yay!!" Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan quickly ran downstairs. Qin Qiao'er and Zhao Youting held their hands, and the four of them walked out of the villa together.
From afar, they looked like a happy family of four, so warm and sweet.
Zhao Youting drove to the children's restaurant that Qin Qiao'er had mentioned. The children's restaurant was indeed full of childlike fun.
As soon as they walked in, Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan became excited. The decoration of the children's restaurant was really interesting. There were many beautiful paintings on the walls.
Although there were a lot of paintings, they weren't too messy. They looked very harmonious. The music of "Doraemon" was playing in the air, clear and melodious.
The tables and chairs were all in various cartoon shapes. Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan stared with wide eyes and open mouths, looking completely stunned.
"Mommy, this place is so beautiful!" Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan said almost at the same time.
Qin Qiao'er smiled and nodded. "I'm glad you like it. Come on, you can order the food."
Qin Qiao'er and Zhao Youting took the two babies to a table in the shape of Peppa Pig. The kids were rubbing it up and down like they had discovered a new world.
A well - dressed waiter walked over with a smile. "Sir, Madam, what would you like to order?"
As he said this, he handed the menu he had been holding to Qin Qiao'er. But Qin Qiao'er gave the menu to Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan.
"Come on, order whatever you like. Well... Daddy is treating today."
She grinned and looked at Zhao Youting mischievously. Zhao Youting just gave a doting smile and looked at her tenderly.
"Okay, I'll treat. You can eat whatever you want today."
His magnetic voice was so charming no matter what he said. It made Qin Qiao'er's ears tingle.
The two of them were unconsciously showing their affection, but they didn't even realize it. They just kept doing it.
"Do you often take the kids out for dinner? Why don't you ever take me? Hmm?" She started to pick a fight, but actually she just wanted to have some fun with him.
Zhao Youting wrapped his arms around Qin Qiao'er's slender waist from behind. The two little babies were sitting opposite them and couldn't see their actions. They were concentrating on looking at the food on the menu.
"It's my fault. How about I take you to a couple's restaurant every day from now on?"
"Okay... it's a deal." Qin Qiao'er nodded sweetly.
The atmosphere between the two of them was so sweet that it was almost sickening. The single waiter on the side said he had had enough of their affection.
He had roughly understood their relationship. At first, he thought they were a family of four, but now he realized they weren't.
He took another look at Qin Qiao'er and Zhao Youting and couldn't help but sigh that their looks were really high - level.
