Chapter 912: 898, am I that easy to buy off (3) Chapter 912: 898, am I that easy to buy off (3) Jian Qing looked at the snowball lying down asleep, a light tremble in the glitter of her eyes.
Snowball, sorry to trouble you!
âJingwu, donât you feel guilty saying that, such a huge blame, Snowball canât bear it,â Quan Mingxuan commented with a chill in his voice.
Lollipops were Xiaojingâs favorites. He had lied that Snowball ate Xiaojingâs lollipop, wasnât this deliberately causing a rift between Xiaojing and Snowball?
Truly a wicked sense of humor.
Quan Jingwu lifted his head and gave him a cold, slanting glance, âGo where itâs cool and stay there.â
Xiaojing licked his lips and smacked them.
He missed his lollipop so much!
Quan Mingxuan put down his bowl, showing a strange smile, âXiaojing, donât listen to your daddy, your daddy has hidden the lollipop away.â
âQuan, Ming, Xuan!â Quan Jingwu called out with a threatening tone.
âI understand, Iâll immediately go and stay where itâs cool.â After saying that, he practically slid away on the soles of his feet, fleeing upstairs.
Rhee and the others couldnât help but chuckle.
âDaddy, lollipop, want lollipop!â A pair of little feet stepped on his legs, and Xiaojing unsteadily stood up, his small lotus root-like arms clinging around his neck without letting go.
âBig lollipop.â
Quan Jingwu was made dizzy by the shaking, looking at the little guy with silver threads at the corners of his mouth, he grabbed a tissue and helped him wipe it away.
âXiaojing, you canât eat too much sugar, be careful or your teeth will be all eaten away,â he patiently explained.
âLollipop, lollipop, lollipop.â Xiaojingâs small body leaned over, resting on his shoulder, starting to chant persistently.
âDaddy, lollipop, lollipopâŠâ
If Daddyâs words donât count, Xiaojing wants a lollipop!
âPfft!â Rhee burst into laughter, holding her belly.
Her Xiaojing had turned into a little monk.
Hearing Xiaojingâs repetitive pleading, Jian Qing couldnât hold back her laughter, lifting her eyes to look at the manâs sharply defined handsome face, smiling as if she reveled in his misery.
âXiaojing, you got yourself into this mess, you deal with it,â she said.
She picked up Xiaojingâs sibling and walked towards the kitchen, âLetâs go, Xiaojingâs sibling, mommy is taking you to get some yummy snacks.â
âLollipop, daddy, lollipop.â Xiaojing clung to his neck, swinging, his rosy little mouth kept opening and closing, endlessly murmuring.
Quan Jingwu picked him up, and Xiaojing kicked his legs, âBig lollipop, want, lollipop.â
âŠ
Quan Jingwuâs thin lips trembled slightly.
He didnât believe he couldnât coax him.
âXiaojing, how about daddy plays with you with toys, huh?â
âNo.â Xiaojing shook his little head, articulating clearly, âLollipop.â
Rhee looked on from the side, not taking Xiaojingâs side; in truth, Xiaojing really loved sweets too much, and if it really did lead to cavities, that wouldnât be good.
Quan Jingwu, holding Xiaojing, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Jian Qing washed a little apple for Xiaojingâs sibling to nibble on for fun, though his little baby teeth couldnât make much of an impression.
âLollipop, lollipop.â
The sound of Xiaojingâs persistent murmuring came through, Jian Qing raised an eyebrow and looked. Quan Jingwu was carrying him over.
âXiaojing, there are no lollipops in this kitchen,â she teased.
âDear treasure, Xiaojing said he missed you, let me carry Xiaojingâs sibling while you hold Xiaojing,â Quan Jingwu said calmly.
Jian Qing looked at him with an almost laughing expression, seeing through his intentions in a glance, âDo you think Iâm a fool? Youâre the one who fooled Xiaojing, so you do the coaxing.â
Once Xiaojing starts acting spoiled, heâs at a loss, and now he wants her help to coax Xiaojing, but she wonât do it. Itâs rare to see him in trouble, so itâs better to enjoy the show.
She carried Xiaojingâs sibling past him, heading to leave the kitchen.
âDear treasure, a box of ice cream,â he blocked her way, tossing out a sugar-coated bribe.
Jian Qing glanced at Nineteen, who was muttering on his shoulder, and lifted her lips in a smile, âAm I the kind of person who can easily be bribed?â
âTwo boxes,â he said.
âThe weather has been really hot lately.â She looked up at the sky and then hinted.
Quan Jingwu reached out and pinched her cheek, âThree boxes every Wednesday.â
Jian Qingâs eyes brightened, âCome, Nineteen, Mommy will hold you.â
âWant Daddy.â Nineteen clung tightly to Quan Jingwuâs neck, his light eyebrows furrowed, and he said firmly, âWant a lollipop.â
âHahaha!â Jian Qing burst into laughter.
Truly her son, hmm, heâs really taken after her.
âXiaojing, I canât help you.â She reached out and patted his arm and said with a smile, âItâs rare for Nineteen to love you so much, you better coax him well.â
Watching her smile with her eyes curved up, Quan Jingwuâs purple pupils deepened, and he murmured tenderly, âGood treasure, since thatâs the case, what I just said naturally doesnât count.â
Jian Qing was petrified.
Her ice cream was gone, that wonât do.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Nineteen clinging to Quan Jingwu, her gaze darted, and she looped her arm around his, her voice even softer, âHusband, ice cream, want ice cream.â
Now it was fine, one big, one small, bombarding both his ears.
Quan Jingwu lowered his head, meeting the laughter in her eyes, his thin lips slightly curving, âCall me âhusbandâ a few more times.â
âQuan Jingwu, want ice cream, want ice cream!â She tiptoed and called out his name into his ear.
âQuan Jingwu, are you giving me ice cream or not?â
Seventeenâs shiny eyes watched Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing, then suddenly he grinned, the small apple he was holding no longer being bitten.
âHusband, ice, ice cream!â
The milky voice was incredibly adorable.
Jian Qing stumbled in surprise, then burst out laughing, âHaha!â
How could her Seventeen be so cute?
Quan Jingwu looked at Seventeenâs happy appearance, his head full of black lines.
âHusband, you stay here to coax Nineteen, Iâll take Seventeen back to the room first.â Jian Qingâs face couldnât hide her amusement, âNineteen, your daddy has lollipops, ask him for one.â
With that, she left swiftly with Seventeen.
The little guy in his arms stopped muttering, and Quan Jingwu looked at him puzzled, âNineteen, whatâs wrong?â
Just now he was so insistent on the lollipop, why was he silent now?
Suddenly, Nineteen raised his little head, his gorgeous eyes squinting, âDaddy, want a lollipop.â
Here we go again.
ââŠâ
It turns out he was just tired of shouting earlier, and now heâs regained his energy and started again.
Looking at the little guy with a face just like Jian Qingâs, he couldnât bring himself to say a harsh word, Quan Jingwu sighed lightly.
Forget it, he had to dote on his own son.
He carried Nineteen out, Jian Qing and Seventeen were no longer in the living room.
Rhee looked at Nineteen still hanging onto Quan Jingwu and covered her mouth with a smile.
A large jar of lollipops was placed on the bookshelf; Jian Luo had bought them for the two little treasures, but Quan Jingwu didnât let the little ones eat them, so they had been sitting on the bookshelf all this time.
He reached out, took a lollipop, and stuffed it into Nineteenâs hand; compared to the big lollipop from the other day, it was nowhere near as impressive.
Nineteen examined the lollipop in his hand, looked up at Quan Jingwu, âDaddy, small.â
âHehe, it is indeed a bit small.â
The laughter-laden voice came from the stairwell.
Quan Mingxuan leaned over the railing with a suitcase beside him.
âNineteen, itâs too small; let your daddy buy you that big lollipop from before.â
