Chenchen and Wanwan immediately greeted cheerfully, "Mommy."
Although Qin Qiao'er had seen the two babies just the day before, she missed them dearly. Now that she saw them again, she rushed forward and hugged them tightly on either side.
She pressed her face against theirs and said lovingly, "My babies."
Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan were also overjoyed and kept calling out, "Mommy, Mommy."
Their innocent voices echoed again and again, vividly showing the strong family bond among the three. The staff members nearby couldn't help but have a glint of tears in their eyes.
At this time, Tu Qinqin stepped forward and gently patted Qin Qiao'er on the shoulder. "Come on, it's not like you haven't seen each other for ages. You met just yesterday. Why are you acting so reluctant to part?"
She might be a bit sharp - tongued, but she had a kind heart. She knew it was inappropriate for the three of them to hug and cling to each other like this, fearing that some ill - intentioned people might see and gossip.
Qin Qiao'er understood her good intentions and quickly led the two babies into her dressing room. "Come on, Chenchen and Wanwan. Mommy has some little gifts for you. Come and take a look."
Hearing there were gifts, Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan were extremely happy. They quickly looked up at her with their little faces. "Mommy, what gifts did you buy?"
"This is... Well, it's the little gifts that uncles and aunts brought for you. Come and have a look." With that, she led the two little ones into the dressing room. Sure enough, there were some gift boxes on Qin Qiao'er's dressing table.
Since Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan came to visit Qin Qiao'er a few days ago, some staff members tried to get in her good books. So they set their sights on the two children.
Qin Qiao'er hadn't opened any of these gifts. Although she wanted to decline, these people were so enthusiastic that she had no choice but to accept them reluctantly.
Moreover, there were many gifts that suddenly appeared in front of her for no reason. Since she couldn't find out who the givers were, she decided to give these gifts to the two little ones.
Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan were overjoyed. They rushed forward to open the gift boxes. Inside were some limited - edition toys.
Qin Chenchen's eyes lit up when he saw a small 4S racing car.
"Wow, Mommy, this is so cool!" Although Qin Chenchen usually acted like a little adult, boys couldn't resist a racing car.
Qin Qiao'er looked at the delicate and cool - looking little racing car in his hand. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and wondered secretly who on earth would spend so much money on such a car.
However, when she saw the obvious joy in Qin Chenchen's eyes, she didn't dwell on it any longer. Anyway, she should be nicer to the staff in the future and help them if she could.
"I'm glad you like it." She couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his little head.
Qin Wanwan received a very beautiful bow. It was a very delicate little bow made of pink, purple, and white gauze. It was exquisitely crafted and even had tiny diamonds on it. It was obviously very valuable. Qin Wanwan didn't know how precious the bow was, but Qin Qiao'er did.
She frowned, picked up the bow from Qin Wanwan's hand, and examined it carefully in her palm. She couldn't help but sigh. "Alas, who is being so generous? Why didn't they give it to me in person?"
She remembered that there was no such gift box on the table when she left the dressing room. How come there was one more when she came back?
Then she shook her head, not wanting to guess anymore. She put the bow back into Qin Wanwan's hand. "Do you like it, baby?"
"I like it. Mommy, can you put it on my head? I want to see how it looks."
She said sweetly and quickly leaned her little head towards Qin Qiao'er. Qin Qiao'er took off the hair tie on her head and tied the bow on. Instantly, she looked like a beautiful little princess.
"Mommy, how do I look? Am I pretty?" She stood in front of Qin Qiao'er and kept spinning around.
Qin Chenchen ran over and complimented, "You're so pretty, sister. This bow suits you very well."
Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan were only seven years old. They were at an age when they were most eager for games and toys. So they were over the moon when they received these gifts.
Tu Qinqin walked into the dressing room from the door. Seeing the toys in their hands and the various gifts piled on Qin Qiao'er's dressing mirror, she frowned.
She walked over and pulled Qin Qiao'er aside. In a low voice, she asked, "What's going on? Didn't we say you can't accept gifts from others? What's all this?"
As she spoke, she motioned to the gift boxes on the dressing mirror with her eyes.
Qin Qiao'er looked helpless. She pursed her lips and said, "Actually, I don't want to either. But somehow, since this morning, I've seen a few staff members acting furtively and coming up to me, saying they wanted to give me gifts. Of course, I refused, but they were just too enthusiastic..."
Before she could finish, Tu Qinqin quickly interrupted her. "Just because they're enthusiastic, you can't say no? Don't you know that as a celebrity, accepting things from others will damage your reputation? And these things obviously cost a fortune..."
As she spoke, her gaze lingered on the S4 racing car in Qin Chenchen's hand and then on the diamond - studded bow in Qin Wanwan's hand.
"I know they're expensive, but I don't even know who gave them. And many of these gifts were secretly left for me. I have no idea who the givers are."
Qin Qiao'er was also very distressed at the moment. Tu Qinqin saw that she really seemed unaware. She originally wanted to give her a few more words of advice, but at this moment, she just sighed and said, "Okay, just this once. Never do it again. You must remember in the future that you can't accept things from others. Otherwise, if some ill - intentioned person finds out, your position will be in jeopardy."
Qin Qiao'er quickly nodded to show that she understood. "I know. There are many people who are just waiting for me to fall. I've taken such a big share of this 'cake', so there must be people who are jealous. Don't worry. I know."
She said seriously. Tu Qinqin saw that she seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter, so she felt relieved and didn't say anything more.
