He didn't want Chi Nai to buy gifts for the four elders because he felt they didn't like her and she wanted to buy gifts to please them.

"No reason." Chi Nao blinked her bright almond-shaped eyes. "We're a family. Buying gifts for family doesn't need a reason."

Chi Baiyi smiled and patted his daughter's head with satisfaction.

"Do you still remember the PIN for the card Dad gave you last time?"

“I remember!” Chi Cheese nodded, and then recited the password in the next second.

She used this card to buy her mother a necklace last time.

Chi Baiyi smiled approvingly and said, "If you have any questions, call your father."

Okay.

Chi Naozi contacted Qin Yuanyao through the children's smartwatch and confirmed that Qin Yuanyao had nothing else to do that day and could accompany her to buy a gift.

Although Chi Baiyi arranged a driver for Chi Naozi, Qin Yuanyao was still worried about her going out alone, so she came to pick her up.

This time, the community security guards didn't stop her and let her in directly.

However, Qin Yuanyao got lost in the neighborhood.

Perhaps for privacy reasons, the roads in this luxury residential area are winding and meandering; it's easy to get lost if you're not familiar with the area.

Qin Yuanyao had no choice but to send a message to Chi Naozhi, asking her to come pick her up.

Chi Naozi happily ran to pick her up and comforted her, saying, "Sister Qin, if you come often, you won't get lost."

Qin Yuanyao "..."

Qin Yuanyao no longer wanted to talk about things like establishing a relationship.

When Chi Cheese said something similar yesterday, she was thinking to herself, "Who knows when the next time will be?"

The next day, she came again...

Qin Yuanyao took Chi Nao to the city's most luxurious and high-end shopping mall. Inside, all kinds of luxury brands were on display; if you couldn't imagine it, you could buy it.

Qin Yuanyao led Chi Naozi from the basement to the sixth floor, but Chi Naozi didn't see anything she wanted to buy.

"I'm so troubled." Chi Naozi frowned, looking at a loss. "Sister Qin, what do you think I should buy for my grandparents and great-grandparents?"

Qin Yuanyao didn't know the four elders and had no idea what to do.

"I don't know either," Qin Yuanyao said. "Do you know what they like? Just buy them what they like."

"My grandparents loved me the most, but my great-grandparents... I don't know."

Chi Cheese was telling the truth.

Ten years later, she became her grandparents' favorite.

But because her great-grandparents had passed away long ago, she had never met them and did not know what they liked.

Qin Yuanyao was slightly taken aback when she heard Chi Nao's words.

Chi Hongzhou and Tang Jin's favorite is Chi cheese?

She didn't notice it yesterday...

She didn't know what happened later last night, but she didn't want the adults to dampen the little girl's enthusiasm.

"Do you really have to give them gifts?" Qin Yuanyao asked.

"I'll give it to you!" Chi Naozi looked up with her fair and adorable little face. "We're family, so if you like something, you can give me a gift!"

Qin Yuanyao affectionately patted her little head and said, "Then you should give them the gifts you like."

Whether they like it or not is their business. Just do what you like first.

Chi Nao nodded, seemingly understanding, and gave a sweet smile. "Okay!"

"Sister Qin, let's go and look at other places."

"Okay." Qin Yuanyao led Chi Naozi down the elevator.

As Xu Miaotong finished her skincare treatment, she was being escorted out of the store by the staff when she caught a glimpse of Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozhi.

"Ms. Xu, please take care. If you feel unwell at home, please feel free to contact us anytime," the store manager said with a bright and ingratiating smile.

Xu Miaotong spends hundreds of thousands of yuan on skin care treatments here every year, making her a major client.

They never neglect their major clients.

Xu Miaotong also enjoyed their attention and flattery, and would often chat with them for a few minutes with a sense of superiority.

This time, however, Xu Miaotong seemed to have no interest in paying attention to them. She casually hummed in response and raised her hand to indicate that they didn't need to see her off.

Xu Miaotong followed Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozi from a distance.

She kept scrutinizing their backs before she was absolutely certain that the people in front of her were Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozi.

Are Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozi really that close?

Even outside of the show, the two met up and went shopping together!

The fact that Qin Yuanyao is shopping in such a high-end mall must mean she wants to curry favor with Chi Naoqi!

She was already quite unhappy when she saw Qin Yuanyao's reputation had reversed online.

Seeing that Chi Naozi was still willing to go shopping with Qin Yuanyao, and that the two looked like a real mother and daughter from behind, Xu Miaotong became increasingly unhappy.

If Qin Yuanyao really becomes Chi Nao's stepmother and gets involved with Chi Baiyi, then Qin Yuanyao's life will take off, and she will be trampled underfoot again!

She really didn't want this to happen!

With that thought in mind, Xu Miaotong followed Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozi from a distance.

She thought Qin Yuanyao would buy some luxury goods to please Chi Nai or Chi Baiyi, but to her surprise, the two of them actually left the mall hand in hand and went to the nearby affordable small commodity street.

Xu Miaotong was puzzled, but she continued to follow without hesitation.

This small commodity street sells daily necessities, decorations and other trinkets, all at very reasonable prices.

Since Chi Cheese didn't know what to buy, they wandered around aimlessly.

Suddenly, Chi Cheese noticed a roadside stall selling bowls and plates.

Chi Nao excitedly pointed to a set of bowls, her eyes sparkling as she said to Qin Yuanyao, "Sister Qin, look at these bowls, they're so cute!"

Qin Yuanyao looked in the direction Chi Naozi was pointing, her expression subtle.

"Pool cheese" refers to a set of bowls used by a family of three.

The reason we can be so sure that it was used by the family of three is because the three bowls are labeled "Mom's," "Dad's," and "Baby's," and each bowl also has a corresponding cartoon character drawn on it.

Chi Nai looked around where the bowls were placed, wrinkled her little nose and sighed, "It seems there aren't any for Grandpa, Grandma, Great-grandfather, or Great-grandmother."

"Little friend, do you want your grandparents and great-grandparents?" the shopkeeper asked after hearing Chi Cheese's words.

Chi Cheese nodded emphatically. "Yes, really?

"Would you buy it if it's available?" the shopkeeper asked her, amused.

"I'll buy it!" Chi Nao's eyes widened, her face serious. "I have money, I can afford it. I'm going to buy it for my whole family."

The little glutinous rice ball counted one by one on her soft little fingers: "Dad, Mom, me, Grandpa, Grandma, Great-grandfather, Great-grandmother, that's seven in total!"

"Okay, you pay first, and I'll get the money for your grandparents and great-grandparents." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
