"You, he said yesterday that he would give you a raise."
“A pay raise???”
Caius' eyes widened instantly. "Really? You agree?"
"No."
"Ah..." No.
Li Qiao sat up straight and stared at his face. "As for you, you're really useful at work, but the problem is, you only go to work two days a month, oh, three days at most. How can you increase your salary?"
Actually, Li Qiao didn't expect to keep him there forever.
Caius knew he was in the wrong and muttered, "I'm taking good care of the children... and you, too."
With him taking care of them, he felt that the two children and Li Qiao had gained weight... Well, it wasn't just his feeling, it was the fact, and one could see from the scale that the numbers were on an upward trend.
"So I didn't scold you. It's okay. It's our own company after all."
"You mean...you want to bend the law for personal gain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit. Li Qiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you mean by partiality and abuse of power?"
"That's not abuse of power, you... let me, let me use the backdoor?" Caius smiled broadly, "I can be considered to be protected by the big boss."
"Stop talking nonsense and go cut some fruit."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
As he was cutting the fruit, the mischievous child at home ran over, raised his head, and whispered to him furtively, "Dad, Ning Ning is gone."
"Well, didn't she leave early?"
"My brother said he wanted to take her out to play too."
"Well, do you have any objections? Don't you like him?" Caius lowered his head, his eyes teasing. "Just a reminder, it's best not to have any objections to your brother's friends."
Little Li Yao patted the wall and said, "I know, but... why does brother want to be friends with her?"
"You little brat, when did your brother ask you to agree to be friends with someone?" Caius rubbed his head vigorously. "Thinking too much will make you old quickly. Come out with me and let's eat some fruit."
"Dad, I don't eat strawberry seeds..."
"No one is picking it for you, so don't be so nosy. If you don't want to eat it, eat something else."
"Mom doesn't eat either..."
"You're still lying! When did your mother stop eating? Come here quickly."
"……oh."
——
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Li Qiao transferred some money to Caius. She asked Caius to collect it quickly and take the children out to play.
Caius's finger didn't click. He raised his head, his eyes flickering slightly, "Well... I have money."
He really has some. He still has a lot left from the last time he cheated Li Ci.
He hadn't told Li Qiao about the money. In fact, he felt a little guilty, as if he was secretly hiding some private money.
Maybe it was out of habit for him not to have money in his hand, so when he suddenly had it, after the surprise wore off, he felt panicked, worried that Li Qiao would find out.
But he couldn't say it.
Because he couldn't explain why Li Ci gave him money, alas...
"Just keep it if I give it to you. These little money-eaters are really good at spending money."
Li Qiao didn't pay much attention to the awkwardness on his face. She just smiled and said, "You're such a weird person. You don't even want money."
"...Okay then, I'll take it...I really will?"
"Take it, take it."
Li Qiao was watching TV on the sofa. Caius's eyes rolled and he took two steps towards her. "What are you doing at home alone? Are you bored?"
He was really getting bolder and bolder, getting very close to Li Qiao, smiling playfully and acting in a frivolous manner.
Li Qiao didn't even turn his head. "What's wrong with me being alone? I'm not bored. Besides, I'll go out for a while."
"Ah? Where are you going?" I asked casually.
Li Qiao turned her head and stared at him. He didn't dare to blink, "I... I'm just worried about you. Well, it's okay if you don't tell me."
"Nothing special. My dad sent me an assistant, saying he was amazing, and asked me to go check it out."
"Male or female?"
Caius scratched his head. "Ah, well, I just want to ask..."
"Female."
"It's pretty good, the woman is good, the woman is good..."
"Why are women better?" Li Qiao teased him, "Didn't you say last time..."
"I didn't say anything. You must have heard it wrong. Well, I'll take them away first. See you later."
The man ran away in a flash. If you didn't know, you would think he had seen something scary.
Li Qiao laughed in silence, shook her head and looked away. She liked simple people who spoke in a relaxed manner without having to think about any roundabout ways.
"Mom, we are leaving now. You must miss me, miss me the most!"
Little Li Yao ran out and hugged his mother's legs to act coquettishly, but his father, who was a spoiler, grabbed the back of his collar and lifted him up, "Kid, don't be so shameless, okay?"
"I learned it from you..." The little guy stuck out his tongue, not afraid of him at all.
Caius said, "Hey!" "Stinky boy, why don't you learn something good?"
"What's good about you?"
"I'm good in every way."
This made everyone present laugh. Li Qiao took the little guy from his arms and straightened his clothes. "Baby, listen to your daddy outside and don't run around. Okay?"
"I know."
After instructing the younger one, Li Qiao turned to the older one and said, "You too, remember to follow daddy well, listen to him, and don't make mom worry."
Li Yao nodded silently, indicating that he knew it too.
"Then I'll let you go out and play without worry. Go ahead, the kids are waiting for you outside."
"Let's go." Caius looked back every few steps.
"Let's go."
"Goodbye, Mom."
"Goodbye, bye."
After the most lively people left, the house suddenly fell into silence, the kind of silence where you could hear a pin drop. Li Qiao sighed and prepared to go out.
To be honest, this is a good time to take a nap at home, and you will definitely sleep soundly.
But unfortunately she had something else to do.
"Li Qiao Li Qiao..."
I was driving to the company, but before I reached the office, Yao Mo called me at the corner. He looked sneaky and didn't seem like a good person.
"If you're not working, what are you doing here? Lazing around?"
Yao Mo instantly felt like a deflated ball, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm exhausted. Where can you find such a jerk to help you?"
"You must be joking. Okay, let's talk about the matter."
Li Qiao knew that this guy must have something to do if he stopped him here, and it couldn't be official business.
That's a private matter...
"It's a private matter."
Yao Mo smiled ingratiatingly and rubbed his palms together, "Well... that's right, your new secretary is here."
He hesitated, and Li Qiao raised an eyebrow slightly, "And then? My secretary is here, what do you want to do?"
"I... Hey, you just know how to bully me!" Yao Mo slapped his head. "Li Qiao, let's be honest. Look, since you recruited me, I've been working really hard for you."
