Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 33 Teasing Qiao Xiya

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Teasing Qiao Xiya

"Mummy, no need, this is our apology to Mrs. Qiao, so we can’t have someone else help."

Candy hurriedly stopped Lin Qian from extending her hand.

Lin Qian paused, thinking back to the disheveled state that Qiao Xiya had arrived in, her red lips pursed slightly, saying nothing more.

Her gaze swept to the two people seated at the dining table, a handsome man and a beautiful woman sitting gracefully, calmly accepting the children’s acts of apology.

Though she knew the children deserved punishment for their wrongdoing,

seeing little Candy, so small, presenting coffee as an apology, her heart couldn’t help but ache inexplicably.

Qiao Xiya was a spoiled young lady—when Yin Moran would marry her, would he treat Candy poorly?

Would she punish Little Candy in various ways, just like today, whenever the child made a mistake?

Just the thought of that possibility soured Lin Qian’s mood.

It was like her own child was living, dependent on the whims of a stepmother.

How suffocating!

At the dining table, Qiao Xiya was feeling inwardly triumphant.

She feigned humility, "Oh, Candy, it’s good you know your mistake, and Auntie forgives you."

The little brat has gotten her comeuppance?

What a satisfying feeling!

"Mrs. Qiao, I’m sorry, Candy is young, please don’t be petty with me."

Candy blinked her pure eyes, handing the coffee to Qiao Xiya, "This is the first time I’ve made coffee for someone, so if it’s not good, please don’t blame Candy, okay?"

"Mhm, Candy, you’re so thoughtful. How could Auntie blame you?"

Qiao Xiya smiled brightly as she took the coffee from Candy’s hand and glanced at it.

Huh, this coffee seemed a bit different in color.

"Candy..."

"Mrs. Qiao, aren’t you drinking? Does that mean you won’t forgive Candy?"

Candy blinked her large eyes, her small red lips pouted, looking pitifully wronged.

With such an adorably charming little face before you, who could bear to reject her?

Qiao Xiya’s budding question had to be swallowed, "Of course not, Auntie will drink it right now."

Beside them, Yin Moran observed coldly, noticing his daughter’s smug expression, akin to that of a little fox who had just stolen a taste, as Qiao Xiya brought the coffee cup to her lips, he sensed trouble.

"Wait..."

Before he could intervene, there was a ’pfft’ sound, and Qiao Xiya had already spat out all the coffee in her mouth.

"Ah, so spicy, so bitter, so...ahh!"

Qiao Xiya exploded in anger, her delicate face twisted, tears burning in her eyes, panting like a big dog, her hand fanning the hot breath she exhaled, gasping for air.

That damn little thing, she tricked her!!!

Why did she believe her!

"Quick, drink some water."

A glass of plain water was passed over.

Qiao Xiya didn’t care who it was from, she snatched the glass and gulped it down.

Pfft!!

Another sputtering sound.

Qiao Xiya’s expression was fierce; the sweetness in her mouth made her feel so nauseous she wanted to vomit.

Her gaze swept to the person who had handed over the water glass, meeting another pair of innocent, tranquil eyes.

"You...you..."

Her tongue was numb, and her lips were burning hot.

Qiao Xiya pointed at the two little ones, too angry to speak.

"Rascals."

Yin Moran’s large palm slapped heavily on the table with a loud smack, the veins at his temples throbbing angrily as his dark eyes swept coldly over the two little ones, emitting a sort of thunderous fury.

The two exchanged glances, quickly backed away, and pretended to be scared as they hid in Lin Qian’s arms.

Lin Qian had already been shocked by the situation at hand.

She had never expected the two little rascals to be so bold and reckless as to actually play such a trick on Qiao Xiya.

Seeing Qiao Xiya’s embarrassing state, one could tell that the cup of coffee and water must have been filled with all sorts of nasty ingredients.

She used to feel sorry for the little ones.

It turned out that these little ones weren’t harmless little bunnies, but snarling little leopards.

Lin Qian’s eyes flickered slightly as she hugged the two little ones tightly, remaining silent as she watched Yin Moran.

"Moran, I feel awful."

Qiao Xiya slurred her words, her eyes brimming with tears, she looked pitifully at Yin Moran.

At this moment, Qiao Xiya’s lips had swollen to look like two sausages, and despite her pitiful expression, she no longer had her usual glamorous beauty; instead, she looked extremely unsettling.

"Go to the hospital."

Yin Moran’s brows furrowed deeply as he stood up and pushed his chair away, striding out and bringing a gust of cold air with him.

Qiao Xiya quickly got up, glared at the trio huddled together with resentment, and followed fast.

"Yay, the baddie is finally gone. Brother, give me five."

Candy, her face full of excitement, extended her chubby little hand, wanting to high-five Lin Zirui.

Lin Zirui’s eyes shone with a hint of guilt as he tentatively looked up at Lin Qian, and upon meeting her slightly reproachful gaze, he couldn’t help but hang his head.

Mommy is angry, and the consequences are severe.

"Uh, Mommy, are you angry?"

Candy also sensed something was off, pulled back her short hand, and wrapped her arms around Lin Qian’s leg, looking up with her dark eyes and asked sweetly in a milky voice.

Lin Qian squatted down, took hold of the hands of the two little ones, and her usually serene face took on a rare seriousness, "Yes, I am angry. Mrs. Qiao is an elder, after all; how could you be so rude to her?"

"Sorry, Mommy, I was wrong," Lin Zirui said, lowering his head to admit his mistake.

Candy glanced at Lin Zirui, then shook Lin Qian’s hand coaxingly, "Mommy, it wasn’t Brother’s fault; it was all my idea. I dislike her and wanted to keep her away from Daddy, so I had Brother teach her a lesson for me. Mommy, can you please not be angry anymore?"

Hearing this, Lin Qian sighed, "Candy, the adult world is complicated, and who your daddy likes is his own choice. You can’t do this kind of thing again, okay?"

It was obvious; the little one was repulsed by Qiao Xiya.

Children may look young, but they always know who truly cares for them and who is pretending.

"Mommy, I understand."

Candy’s big eyes sparkled, "But don’t you like my daddy? I just want you to be my mommy."

I just want her to be her mommy!

This child!

Lin Qian pursed her lips and softly stroked the little one’s soft hair, "Candy, I really like you, but your daddy and I can’t be together."

How can people who aren’t on the same path be together?

Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Candy’s bright eyes instantly dulled, and her small face was full of disappointment.

Why can’t Mommy be with Daddy?

So unhappy!

Seeing the sad expression on Candy’s face, Lin Zirui felt that he should stand up for her.

He looked up at Lin Qian, moved his small mouth, "Mommy, Mr. Yin is very impressive, don’t you want to give him a chance?"

Lin Qian’s gaze shifted from Candy to Lin Zirui, her face once again becoming serious.

"Lin Zirui, never mind that for now. As for what just happened, I need to impose a punishment. Tonight, when we get home, you will write a thousand-word letter of repentance, and you’re not allowed to sleep until it’s done!"
