As expected, Qin Er raised his chin with a hint of pride on his face. "Why would it be humiliating? Back then, Shanshan spent a billion to marry me into her family. How many people can receive such a high betrothal gift in this world?"
Everyone: "..." Damn, everyone knows you're worth that much! Always bragging nonstop!
They dared not say it out loud, but their faces were flushed with anger, and their eyes were practically shooting fire. Without realizing it, their anger turned toward Baby Nuan.
This little troublemaker—how could they forget? The phone with the video turned on had been taken from her hands.
She had pretended to be so sincere and open with them earlier, but in reality, she was just trying to make sure the people on the other end could hear everything they said more clearly.
Liu couldn't hold back and asked, "Baby Nuan, why did you do this?"
Baby Nuan blinked innocently, showing a wide grin with her little baby teeth, smiling as sweetly as can be.
The little girl fumbled out seven bank cards from her bag, her chubby little hands almost unable to hold them, but she tightly clenched them.
With a babyish voice, she said, "The aunties said that if I pass your words to them, they'll give me a reward."
As she spoke, she looked down at the bank cards in her hands, her little chest puffing up proudly. These were the rewards she had earned herself.
So proud!
Hearing this, the others nearly spat blood.
So, she sold them out for a few measly rewards? They had just been thinking she was different from her annoying, money-obsessed father.
Turns out, she was just a version 2.0 of Qin Er!
No wonder they called her a little devil. Terrifying. She was way too terrifying!
Mission accomplished, Qin Er drank the last sip of his water, holding his little daughter's hand, ready to leave.
Before they left, Baby Nuan suddenly stopped, tilted her little head up to look at Qin Er, and patted her little crossbody bag.
Qin Er understood and let go of her hand.
The little girl dashed back and, flashing a sweet smile at them, asked, "Uncles, do you still want these?"
She pointed at the fruit platter on the table.
Liu was still angry at her. With red eyes, he muttered, "No, but I'd rather throw them into trash can than giving them to you!"
To his surprise, Baby Nuan's eyes lit up, and she quickly dumped all the dried fruit onto her little bag. She then shakily hugged the fruit platter, looking up seriously and said, "Baby Nuan is the trash can. You can just throw it all into Baby Nuan's bag. Baby Nuan will help you take out the trash. No need to thank me."
She even shot Liu a generous glance, making him nearly choke on his own blood. He trembled and pointed at Baby Nuan.
Little freak!
She was even more terrifying than Qin Er!
Cute my foot, she was driving him mad!
Baby Nuan looked at his expression and said seriously, "Uncle Liu, I told you already, no need to be polite. Baby Nuan is leaving now. Goodbye, Uncle Liu. Goodbye, Uncle Wang. Goodbye, Uncle Li. Don't miss me. I'll come find you to play when I run out of money."
Hearing this, the others couldn't help but shudder, looking at her with wide-eyed terror.
Baby Nuan, on the other hand, had no idea how frightening she was. She happily ran back to her father, holding the fruit platter.
Qin Er helped his little girl carry the fruit platter. He raised his hand and affectionately ruffled her head before bending down to pick her up.
Baby Nuan skillfully wrapped her chubby little arms around his neck, pressing her chubby cheek against his, rolling her face against his, and giggling. As she glanced back at the uncles who looked like they might explode any second, a mischievous gleam flashed in her eyes.
The father and daughter duo left happily, having both eaten and taken, leaving the others seething with anger.
However, they didn't have the time to deal with them. They were busy trying to settle their own affairs.
Another round of chaos ensued.
In contrast, Qin Er and Baby Nuan were much more peaceful. 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
When they arrived home, Shao Shanshan was practicing yoga. Baby Nuan, like a little cannonball, rushed over and hugged her.
"Mommy, Mommy, Baby Nuan missed you so much. Do you miss your little baby?"
Shao Shanshan immediately burst into laughter, reaching out to stroke her daughter's little face, planting a big kiss on it. "Yes, Mommy misses Baby Nuan the most."
Baby Nuan puffed up her little face, grinning so widely that her eyes narrowed. With a smug look, she said, "I knew it. I'm so cute, Mommy must miss me."
"Mhm." Shao Shanshan, already used to her little girl's confidence, asked, "Where did you go to play?"
As soon as she mentioned this, Baby Nuan babbled non-stop, recounting everything that had happened. She proudly took everything out of her bag, as if showing off her loot.
This bag was made by Zhouzhou for her. It could hold unlimited things without any weight.
It was very convenient for the little girl to "rob" others.
After hearing the whole story, Shao Shanshan twitched her lips, looking at Qin Er with a speechless expression.
Only he could do something like this.
However, what he said made sense. Those people were indeed too much.
So, she didn't blame the father and daughter. Instead, she told the nanny to take Baby Nuan to wash up and sleep.
Once the little girl left, Qin Er walked over and reached out his hand to Shao Shanshan.
Shao Shanshan smiled and placed her hand in his, using his strength to stand up.
Casually, she asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to get involved in this?"
This was usually the time when he went to set up his stall.
Oh, and he brought Baby Nuan with him.
Setting up stalls had become a tradition in their family, and now it had even spread to the Shao family. Even her father had started setting up a stall recently, saying it was not bad to find something to do and kill some time.
Qin Er took Shao Shanshan and sat her down on the couch. He didn't sit, instead standing behind her to massage her shoulders. He explained, "It's about increasing income and saving costs. I need to take Baby Nuan to find more ways to make money."
"You're not afraid Baby Nuan will get beaten?"
If she were to put herself in the situation, she'd probably be furious enough to hit someone.
Hearing this, Qin Er lightly snorted and said casually, "They wouldn't dare."
His tone was light, but it was filled with dominance.
Forget about the Shao family and Qin Er, just think about Baby Nuan's aunt and six uncles. Who would dare touch Baby Nuan? Otherwise, they wouldn't even wait for the next morning. Zhouzhou would have flattened their houses by nightfall.
Shao Shanshan thought of Zhouzhou's abilities and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Ahem, well, this was actually a good thing. At least now, her little girl could walk around with confidence and not worry about being bullied.
She herself was most probably the one who bullies others.
Thinking of this, Shao Shanshan couldn't help but remember the time when she found out that she was pregnant with Baby Nuan.
At first, she had planned to terminate the pregnancy, but Qin Er had said to wait until he got back to discuss it.
She waited. When he returned, she told him about it.
After hearing it, he frowned and went into his room.
She was confused and felt like her heart had dropped to the bottom, thinking he didn't want the child.
After all, he had said before that he didn't want to have kids.
Just as she was about to register at the hospital, he came out with a pile of things in his hands: his property deed, various bank cards, cash earned from setting up stalls, and even the billion-dollar betrothal gift he had brought with him.
He looked at her with a furrowed brow, a bit hesitant. "I heard raising a child costs a lot. Do you think this is enough?"
Shao Shanshan froze. "You—you want to keep this child?"
"Yes?" Qin Er looked at her with an expression that seemed even more surprised than hers. "You don't want to?"
She didn't want to, but didn't he not want to?
She couldn't help but blurt out those words.
Qin Er sighed and said, "I don't want to, since kids are like gold-gobbling beasts, money shredders, but..."
His tone softened as he gently stroked her still-flat belly, a hint of expectation in his voice. "She's already here, so she must be destined for us. We're definitely having this child. Worst case, I'll just take on a few more jobs."
He took a deep breath, looking as though he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Seeing him like this, Shao Shanshan couldn't help but laugh, feeling like the heavy stone in her heart had finally been lifted.
"Well then, do you want a boy or a girl?"
"A girl," Qin Er answered without hesitation, adding, "Preferably one like Caicai."
Cute, considerate, and with similar interests as him.
Coincidentally, Shao Shanshan thought the same.
Thankfully, Heaven had been kind to them, and they really had a cute little daughter.
Just as cute as Zhouzhou.
Thinking back on it, Shao Shanshan held Qin Er's hand and didn't let him massage her shoulders anymore. She pulled him to sit on the couch with her and asked, "Qin Er, do you regret having a child?"
Qin Er looked at her strangely. "Of course not. Our daughter is great, just like Caicai."
She thought so too.
Just then, Shao Shanshan's phone rang. It was the teacher from Baby Nuan's kindergarten.
As soon as she answered, the teacher said, "Is this Baby Nuan's mom? Your daughter fought at school today. Can you come by tomorrow if you have time?"
Shao Shanshan: "..."
Why does she love fighting so much? Just like Zhouzhou!
