Chapter 342: The Calm Before the Storm

The usually serious and domineering look now seemed extraordinarily gentle.

The next morning came unusually quickly. Qin Qiao'er didn't get up early but slept until she woke up naturally. So when she woke up, she found it was already noon.

The sunlight outside the window slowly shone into her bedroom through the screen window. The warm orange sun shone on her face, and the lazy feeling made her extremely comfortable.

She stretched out her hand and yawned, then looked to the side. To her surprise, the spots where Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan should have been were empty.

"Hey, where are these two little guys?" She rubbed her sleepy eyes.

The bedroom door was opened, and Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan rushed in. The two kids took their short steps and bounced onto the bed. With cute expressions on their faces, they stomped their little legs and called out sweetly, "Mommy, mommy, get up quickly. Aunt Qinqin has made a lot of delicious food."

"Really?" She smiled slightly. Under the sunlight, her smile made her look like a fairy descending from the sky.

"Really, mommy. Hurry up. If we don't go, the food will get cold." Qin Chenchen reached out his hand and gave his sister a look. Qin Wanwan sensibly ran over and pulled her left hand. The two kids dragged Qin Qiao'er out of the bed from either side.

Qin Qiao'er had no choice but to be pulled up. Most of her drowsiness had worn off. Without even washing her face, she was dragged downstairs to the dining room by them.

Tu Qinqin was washing her hands while wearing an apron. There were many pastries and desserts on the dining table, all of which were Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan's favorites.

When Tu Qinqin saw Qin Qiao'er wearing only a pajamas, with her hair uncombed and her face unwashed, looking dirty, she rolled her eyes in disgust.

"Look at yourself. If your fans saw you like this, I don't know how many of them would unfollow you. Who would have thought that the glamorous big star is actually so slovenly at this moment."

After a short pause, she continued, "Go wash up quickly and come back for dinner later."

Qin Qiao'er pursed her lips and didn't seem to care. While turning around, she mumbled, "Even if I'm slovenly, I'm still a fairy, aren't I?"

Tu Qinqin didn't hear her words. After putting bibs around Qin Wanwan and Qin Chenchen's necks, she let them sit at the table and start eating.

The kids didn't have to go to school for the time being and just played with Qin Qiao'er. It had to be said that the two kids had been very happy for a long time. However, happy times were always short. They would have to go back to school in a month.

The kids were enjoying their food. The pastries were very delicate and tasted just right. They were made of the most natural and high - quality ingredients without any preservatives, so it was safe for the kids to eat them.

Tu Qinqin had become proficient in all kinds of skills for Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan. It could be said that she was even more responsible than Qin Qiao'er, their biological mother.

This showed how close the relationship between Qin Qiao'er and Tu Qinqin was.

After Qin Qiao'er finished washing up, she quickly came to the dining room and had dinner with them. After the meal, she quickly went into her dressing room.

After washing the dishes, Tu Qinqin couldn't find Qin Qiao'er. With Qin Chenchen's hint, she came to the dressing room and saw Qin Qiao'er applying makeup on her face with her superb makeup skills.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and leaned against the door. Looking at her helplessly, she said, "Qiao'er, you don't have to go to work today. Why are you putting so much effort into this? You've become so diligent today. I'm not quite used to it."

"What's there not to get used to? By the way, I have something to tell you. I won't have dinner at home this afternoon. I'm going out."

Tu Qinqin's eyebrows twitched slightly. Looking confused, she asked, "Really? Do you have a date tonight? Hehe, which handsome guy is it? Come on, be honest!"

Two names immediately came to her mind, Zhao Youting and Xia Hankong. That's why she asked this question.

"Yes, it's a handsome guy, and he's someone you know." Qin Qiao'er said while doing her makeup without turning back.

"Could it be Xia Hankong? You... Are you sure you're going out for dinner with Xia Hankong?" She frowned, obviously not very approving of her decision.

Although she hadn't seen Xia Hankong recently... Actually, it was just that she had gone back to her hometown for a few days and missed the scene of Xia Hankong pestering Qin Qiao'er. She thought that Xia Hankong had given up on Qin Qiao'er, but unexpectedly, he was going to invite her out for dinner this afternoon.

"You've got it wrong. How could it be him? I have nothing to do with him. Don't think too much. I'm going to have dinner with Youting tonight. So, you just stay at home and take good care of Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan like a good nanny tonight."

Finally, she sprayed some setting spray on her face to make the makeup last longer. Looking at herself in the mirror like a fairy, Qin Qiao'er felt even more proud.

"Hehe!" Hearing what she said, Tu Qinqin really wanted to punch her. This woman had completely treated her like a nanny.

"You, people might think I'm the mother of Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan if they don't know."

She pouted, obviously looking down on Qin Qiao'er, who took advantage but still played innocent.

But Qin Qiao'er quickly stood up, looking at her cutely. She rushed forward and hugged her waist, coquettishly saying, "Oh, Sister Qinqin, what's our relationship? Besides, you've watched Chenchen and Wanwan grow up. If you take care of them now, they'll serve you just like they serve me in the future."

Hearing this, Tu Qinqin wanted to give her a knock on the head even more. "I really want to crack open your head and see what's inside. Is it all tofu dregs?"

And indeed, she did just that.

Qin Qiao'er was in great pain when her head was knocked. She quickly reached out her hand to cover her head. This time, she didn't act coquettishly but looked at her seriously.

"I'm going on a date with Youting tonight. You know, since I had these two kids, I haven't spent much time alone with Youting. You must help me this time."

Looking at her so seriously, Tu Qinqin felt a bit uncomfortable. She felt goosebumps on her hands, so she shook them off and said helplessly, "Fine, fine, fine. I'll be the nanny then."
