Seeing that his explanation worked, Chen Dong quickly said, "Of course, women are all sharp-tongued but soft-hearted."
This made Qin Beiting feel a little better. He decided to trust him for now and waited for that woman to invite him over for a meal.
He hadn't tasted her cooking before, actually.
Seeing that his boss's anger had subsided, Chen Dong took out his phone and sent a message to Yu He: [Sister-in-law, if you're cooking, could you make an extra portion? Brother Ting said he wants to eat your cooking...]
"If you understand women so well, why are you still single?" Qin Beiting suddenly asked.
Chen Dong, who was typing, was stabbed by his words right in the heart. "It's because I'm too poor and can't afford to buy houses and diamonds..."
"Heh, is the salary I give you every year considered small?" Qin Beiting asked coldly.
Chen Dong quickly shook his head. "Not small, not small at all."
But it couldn't keep up with your spending.
Just then, footsteps were heard from outside. After finishing his message, Chen Dong didn't want to continue this painful topic and quickly went to see. He saw Yueyue and Duoduo walking over, so he quickly returned to the room.
"Brother Ting, look, the two children are here to call you for dinner." he said with a smile.
Qin Beiting glanced outside and indeed saw the two children approaching, but Yu He was not among them. His expression, which had slightly eased, instantly turned cold again. "Heh~ why isn't she coming herself?"
"Oh, Brother Ting, don't focus on such minor details. These two children are Miss Yu's darlings. Them coming over is practically the same as Miss Yu coming herself~"
This didn't improve Qin Beiting's mood at all. Instead, because these two children were that woman's darlings, he felt a pang of unease.
"Do you really think Lord Qin can be invited by anyone?" he snorted coldly and turned into the small office.
Chen Dong: This...
When did Boss become so tsundere?
You weren't like this when you were pursuing Sister-in-law before!
"Uncle Chen, where is my dad... handsome uncle?" Duoduo entered the east wing and only saw Chen Dong, not Qin Beiting, so she asked curiously.
She habitually wanted to call him Daddy, but Chen Dong frantically gestured to her, pointing to the small office, and whispered, "Seventh Master is in the small office."
"What is he doing hiding in the dark room? Does he know he was wrong?" Duoduo asked innocently.
Chen Dong didn't know what "knowing he was wrong" meant, but he had read online that when a woman asks if you know you're wrong, you should admit it whether you're wrong or not.
He crouched down and whispered to Duoduo, "Ahem, Seventh Master knows he's wrong and is reflecting. Go in and ask him to come to dinner and calm down?"
Duoduo nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, I'll go now."
"Mom might not even cook for him," Yueyue stopped Duoduo and then gave her a meaningful look. Did you forget why we came here?
Duoduo patted Yueyue's shoulder, indicating that she hadn't forgotten. "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Inside the office, Qin Beiting sat at his desk, looking like he was working, but in reality, he was all ears, wanting to hear what people outside were saying.
But he didn't know if Chen Dong was doing it on purpose or not. He usually didn't speak so softly. Why was he as quiet as a mosquito now? He couldn't hear anything.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and then the door was pushed open, followed by a soft, childish voice saying, "Handsome uncle~"
Qin Beiting glanced towards the doorway. He saw a little girl with two pigtails standing obediently at the door, looking at him with her large eyes.
Behind the little girl was a little boy who looked almost identical to her. Behind the little boy stood his indifferent assistant.
"What is it?" Qin Beiting spat out three cold words.
"Handsome uncle, are you hungry?" Duoduo walked to Qin Beiting. They were separated by the desk, making her appear even more petite.
So she pulled over a chair, stood on it, and now she was almost at his eye level, even a little taller than him.
When Qin Beiting heard her ask if he was hungry, he guessed, as Chen Dong had said, that they had come to ask him to dinner.
He was about to say yes when Duoduo continued, "This is the hair-strengthening and anti-hair-loss sesame pill that my mommy recently developed. Do you want to try some?"
As Duoduo spoke, she took out four black pills the size of longans, wrapped in transparent paper, from her pocket and presented them to Qin Beiting like a treasure.
Qin Beiting: ???
Weren't they calling him to eat?
Hair-strengthening and anti-hair-loss sesame pills?
What the heck is this?
And, did he need it?!
Duoduo looked at Qin Beiting's thick, dark hair. "Let me tell you, men over thirty are prone to hair loss. Severe hair loss can lead to a receding hairline.
"Baldness is very ugly.
"My mommy is a bit of a looker. If you go bald, she won't like you anymore, and she'll find another uncle to be our daddy."
"Brother Ting, this is a good thing!" Chen Dong couldn't help but praise.
He couldn't imagine what Boss would look like bald, but since it was developed by Sister-in-law, it must be a treasure!
Qin Beiting's face turned both cold and dark.
"These sesame pills aren't for just anyone. Only people who are starting to experience hair loss can eat them," Yueyue, standing at the door, kindly reminded them.
"That's right. Let me try and see if handsome uncle has any hair loss problems," Duoduo said as she stepped onto the desk from the chair.
Before Qin Beiting could react, she reached out and ruffled his hair with lightning speed, then quickly jumped off the desk. At the same time, Yueyue rushed forward, caught her as she landed, and then the two of them dashed out as fast as lightning.
This left Qin Beiting with his messy hair and Chen Dong, whose jaw was almost on the floor in shock.
Holy crap, he really is Boss's kid, daring to lay hands on Boss!
"Chen... Dong! Is this how you call me to dinner?!" The man's teeth-gnashing voice made Chen Dong shiver.
...
Yu He finished preparing lunch and came out to call people to eat, only to find that the two children were not in the living room.
As soon as she came out into the yard to look for them, she saw the two little ones running out of the east wing as if ghosts were chasing them.
"What's wrong?"
She suddenly remembered that Qin Beiting hadn't left yet. Had he done something to the children?
Thinking of Qin Beiting's violent tendencies when he had an episode, Yu He quickly walked towards the east wing.
As a result, as soon as she entered, she bumped into Qin Beiting, who was coming out of the small office with his hair in a mess.
The man's incredibly handsome face was both cold and dark, but with his messy hair, it was inexplicably comical.
"Pfft." Yu He couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Beiting was so angry that he wanted to grab those two mischievous children and throw them into the back mountain right then. But he didn't expect Yu He to come. They ran into each other.
For some reason, he was very angry, but seeing Yu He laugh like this, the anger instantly deflated like a leaky balloon, dissipating by half.
