Chapter 568: Brother, You’re Right
Chapter 568: Brother, You’re Right
(National Day is really busy, I spent all day in the field today, exhausted.)
Unlike the little one.
But both of them instinctively rushed to their respective treasure troves.
In the study, Mo Jingchun gently placed Candy’s certificates into the box.
Closing the box gently, Mo Jingchun smiled contentedly.
To outsiders, these certificates and small red flowers might look like worthless pieces of paper.
But to him, they were of great significance.
This is Candy’s honor, and isn’t it also his honor?
Although there were occasional small accidents in Candy’s growth path, overall, Candy is really well-behaved and sensible.
Moreover, he is a polite little guy who respects elders.
Does Candy really not know that the family is wealthy?
Mo Jingchun shook his head, how could that be possible.
This little one has been smart since childhood.
The little one is merely following his own inclination, not wanting to be extravagant in spending money.
After returning the box to its original place, Mo Jingchun took out an extremely cute baby bottle.
Every compartment holding objects in this study is filled with his memories, his priceless treasures.
At this moment, Mo Jingchun seemed to travel through time, envisioning a future day when Candy accidentally discovers this place, looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar baby bottle in shock.
"Hey!"
Suddenly someone behind him exclaimed and stomped their foot.
Unprepared, Mo Jingchun was almost scared soul out of body, his hairs standing on end.
"Big brother, what are you up to sneaking around?" Zhou Yaling craned her head to take a look.
Seeing Zhou Yaling, Mo Jingchun, while relieved, glared at her in annoyance.
"Did you eat gunpowder today? Jumping out like that."
Zhou Yaling ignored the comment and instead exclaimed in surprise:
"Tsk tsk tsk, if I hadn’t secretly followed you, I wouldn’t have known your study still has a hidden compartment."
"Indeed, it’s just like on TV, rich people always have secret places in their studies."
"But..."
Zhou Yaling was puzzled as she pointed at the clean baby bottle and asked:
"Big brother, others hide gold or antiques, but you have baby bottles and clothes, what’s up with you~"
Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes at Zhou Yaling, closed the secret compartment, and sternly warned:
"Mind your own business!"
"If you tell Candy," Mo Jingchun let out a cold chuckle, "get ready for your dear brother’s wrath."
Hearing this, Zhou Yaling pouted.
It’s just storing items Candy used, what’s the big deal.
"Alright then, how are you going to win me over?"
Sitting at the desk, Mo Jingchun calmly glanced at Zhou Yaling and said:
"Deduct 10% from your year-end bonus."
Zhou Yaling: ???
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yaling showed an auntie’s smile.
"Big brother, you’re ruthless."
At this moment, Zhou Yaling clung to Mo Jingchun’s arm and whined:
"Brother~"
"Brother~ don’t be like that~"
Instantly, Mo Jingchun got goosebumps all over.
Not only that, every additional word he heard made his scalp tingle.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Mo Jingchun raised both hands in surrender:
"Okay, okay, I concede. I won’t deduct your year-end bonus."
"Hmph, that’s more like it."
Seeing Zhou Yaling return to normal, Mo Jingchun finally asked:
"Candy also secretly went to hide money, why didn’t you curiously follow to see."
Hearing her brother’s words, Zhou Yaling’s face stiffened.
"Don’t mention it, that girl is sharp."
"Though, there’s nothing much to see, it’s just a piggy bank under the bed, it’s not like I don’t know."
Uh~
Mo Jingchun really wanted to say, why didn’t he know.
Downstairs.
Candy, who had taken the elevator down from the third floor, scratched her head in confusion.
How did both brother and sister disappear while hiding something?
She searched all over the first floor but didn’t see anyone.
With light steps, Candy ran up the stairs to the second floor.
"Brother~"
"Sister~"
The study door, pushed open by Zhou Yaling, hadn’t been closed, and both of them heard Candy’s first call.
But they tacitly kept silent.
Feigning nonchalance, Mo Jingchun sat at the desk and exchanged a look with Zhou Yaling.
Evidently, if Zhou Yaling dared expose his little secret, there’d be no end to it.
As Candy ran upstairs, she noticed the usually closed study door was open.
Without hesitation, she walked right in.
Once inside, she saw her brother and sister indeed there.
Candy, with her hands behind her back, walked around the study inspecting everything.
"Brother, sister, what are you doing here?"
Feigning calm, Mo Jingchun picked up a brush from the desk.
"Practicing calligraphy, Guoguo, do you want to learn too?"
Rolling her eyes, Candy gave a huge eyeroll.
"Brother, where’s my certificate?"
"No idea, forgot."
He’d just received the certificate ten minutes ago and already forgotten where he placed it.
Candy raised an eyebrow, does he think she’s still a three-year-old kid?
Even a three-year-old kid wouldn’t fall for such a lie.
"Oh, by the way, don’t ride your bike recently."
Immediately, Candy frowned.
"Why not?"
Mo Jingchun looked up, responding without emotion:
"It’s cold, one fall and you’ll break a bone."
"But... I’ve never fallen while riding a bike."
"Do you understand preventive measures?"
He laughed, "If you really break a bone, you’ll be the one crying."
"Alright then."
Though reluctantly, Candy reluctantly agreed.
No choice, since her brother is the boss at home.
Looking at Little Grey wagging its tail beside her, Candy said pitifully:
"Little Grey is so pitiful, with no clothes on in such cold weather."
Coincidentally, both Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling aimed their gaze at Little Grey, looking earnest.
To be precise, it was the very robust Little Grey.
Mo Jingchun chuckled and said, "Little Grey has so much fur, it’s not a big problem."
"Besides, hasn’t Bun gone without clothes every winter for the past two years?"
Candy cheerfully patted Little Grey’s big head, "Brother, how could it be the same?"
"Bun doesn’t go out, eats and sleeps, so it doesn’t matter if it wears clothes or not."
"And Bun is so chubby, surely not afraid of the cold."
Hearing this, Mo Jingchun glanced again at Little Grey turning around Candy.
Bun is indeed chubby, but Little Grey is quite robust too.
However, Mo Jingchun didn’t say this.
Instead, Zhou Yaling chuckled, "Easy solution, didn’t you just earn four hundred yuan? You can buy two outfits for Little Grey."
Upon hearing this, Candy looked astonished.
Just half a semester of earning four hundred yuan, and now it’s gone before it’s even warmed her hands?
Looking down at Little Grey, head tilted endearingly, Candy bit her finger and murmured softly:
"Brother, you’re right, Little Grey surely isn’t afraid of the cold."
