Chapter 514: Candy: Eat More, Grow Taller (Part 1)

In the old courtyard of a spacious hutong in Jing City, Li Yuanfang was surrounded by his family, shrugging helplessly.

"Grandpa, you heard it too."

"It’s really not that your grandson isn’t trying!"

"I never even dreamed that Mo Jingchun could forget such an important thing; how absent-minded must he be to forget it."

Feeling a bit wronged, Li Yuanfang vented again: "I seriously suspect that the contract we signed back then was used by him to prop up a desk."

That said, Mo Jingchun gets this treatment. If it were someone else, Li Yuanfang would have asked long ago.

But this fellow Mo Jingchun is different; he has to consider his sister’s feelings and also respect the old man.

The outside world might not know, but everyone within the Li Family knows that the old man pays special attention to Mo Jingchun.

This doesn’t make sense, especially since news had already come that Mo Jingchun has a partner, and it’s a classmate.

Thinking it over, the only thing that could make the old man pay so much attention must be something of national importance.

In the courtyard, people were everywhere, except Li Yuanfang who stood alone in the sunlight, basking in the warmth, looking quite carefree.

Li Yuanfang: "Carefree my foot."

He wasn’t standing in the sun willingly.

Just when Li Yuanfang was happily thinking it was none of his business, the old man seated in the grand chair spoke.

It’s just that the words left Li Yuanfang a bit incredulous, and others were also surprised.

"You think Mo Jingchun is like you? Just give the orders and it’s done?"

"Every technical achievement that Candy has made was developed under Mo Jingchun’s leadership."

"I also heard that Mo Jingchun has been in the lab recently; for the sake of research, his health has been affected."

The old man shook his head, "Okay, make sure to maintain a good relationship. Since he’s said it, he’ll surely do it."

"Everyone go about your business."

At this point, Li Yuanfang hesitated for a moment but still voiced his confusion:

"Grandpa, you’ve withdrawn a large amount of money from the company, the finance department said it went to..."

"If you know it, don’t ask. There will be more in the future, be mentally prepared."

"Grandpa, why?"

"This is unprecedented in a hundred years." This was Li Yuanfang’s biggest doubt.

Under the gaze of everyone, the old man was silent for a while before saying, "It’s all for the continuation of humanity."

After saying that, the old man left.

Leaving everyone in the courtyard looking at each other in dismay.

"Second Uncle, you’re with the army; is there going to be a war?"

"Don’t make wild guesses. That’s not happening."

Seeing Second Uncle’s furrowed brow, Li Yuanfang knew that he didn’t know anything either.

By mid-morning, Mo Jingchun was rarely seen leisurely sitting on the sofa watching a movie.

He was so engrossed that he didn’t hear the sound of the elevator doors opening and closing.

It wasn’t until Candy, yawning and with disheveled hair, walked in front of Mo Jingchun that he noticed.

He got Zero to turn on the lights, and Mo Jingchun glanced behind Candy.

"Brother, stop looking, Sister is still sleeping."

It was only nine o’clock, and sleeping in was normal, so Mo Jingchun wasn’t at all surprised.

But Candy’s next sentence made Mo Jingchun burst into laughter.

"Brother, Sister snored last night, and it kept Guoguo awake until midnight."

Feeling increasingly aggrieved, Candy simply began to complain.

"You have no idea how bad Sister is at playing games. Last night, Sister successfully took Guoguo down five stars instead of up."

Candy shook her little head: "It’s too hard for me."

"Yet Sister is bad and loves to play, always boasting to others that she’s an unparalleled champion who can lead others to victory."

Mo Jingchun twitched his mouth, smiling wryly: "So last night you and your teammates were carrying two noobs?"

"Yeah! That person was just as bad as Sister."

Just as the story was getting good, an inappropriate sound made the siblings fall silent, leaving only the TV continuing to play the unfinished movie.

After a while, Candy broke the silence.

"Brother, Guoguo thinks it’s time for breakfast, Guoguo is not picky at all."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes.

"Go wash your face and brush your teeth. I’ll cook you some noodles."

"Mu~ma~"

"Hooray for Brother!" The little one blew Mo Jingchun a kiss and eagerly went to wash her face and brush her teeth.

The movie continued, and Mo Jingchun smiled, shrugging his shoulders.

"Zero, pause it, I need to go make noodles."

"Boss, the movie progress has been saved for you."

A minute later, various sounds were coming from the kitchen.

When Candy returned with a washed face, Mo Jingchun was standing by the stove in the kitchen.

Seeing Candy with her messy hair, Mo Jingchun spoke: "Go get the comb, brother will help you brush your hair. It’s really affecting the cuteness of our Little Candy."

"Got it~" Candy nodded happily and ran to the bathroom again.

In no time, a fresh ponytail was done.

Simple yet elegant, Candy’s dark hair looked very pretty.

No need for many decorations, it was pleasing to the eye.

"The noodles are ready, let them cool on the table a bit so they don’t burn."

"La la la~ Brother, I know, Guoguo is not a child anymore, and she’s not silly either."

Sitting back on the sofa, ready to continue watching the movie he hadn’t finished, Mo Jingchun pursed his lips and said: "You’re not even taller than a chair, and you say you’ve grown up."

The little one opened her mouth but glanced at the dining chair, admitting defeat instantly.

She really wasn’t taller than the chair!

Hoo~ hoo~ hoo~

Candy sat on the chair, blowing on the steaming noodles.

Softly chanting, "Eat a lot, grow tall."

"Eat a lot, grow tall."

Feeling the temperature was right, Candy took a deep breath and started to slurp down the noodles.

Humph, once she’s full and grown tall, let’s see what Brother will say then.

After drinking the last drop of noodle soup, Candy burped.

Feeling her round, plump belly, Candy was quite delighted.

At that moment, Candy blinked her eyes.

"Sister, you’re late."

"Guoguo already finished the noodles Brother cooked."

Wearing pajamas, Zhou Yaling glanced at the spotlessly clean bowl, her facial muscles twitching involuntarily.

"No worries, your sister can cook something delicious herself." Saying that, Zhou Yaling headed straight to the kitchen.

At the dining table, Candy, patting her small belly and looking at her empty bowl, suddenly thought the noodles Brother cooked weren’t that tasty after all.

If her little tummy hadn’t been too full, Candy would have asked Sister to make another serving.

But... Brother’s noodles were simply too much.

She was already full.

Thinking about this, Candy sighed silently.

Why didn’t Sister come down earlier?

No, no, Guoguo should have woken Sister up when she got up.

Not much time passed before a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
