"Daddy, what did you just say?"
She vaguely thought she heard her father speaking.
The child in front of him tilted his head, looking at him with suspicion. Huo Qinfu's fingers, which were opening the folder, paused almost imperceptibly.
He would never say those words a second time.
He calmly hummed in agreement, then lifted his eyelashes without changing his expression.
"Your candy fell on the floor."
Actually, it just fell out of her sleeve pocket when she was skipping around to get the food.
"…………"
The man speaking had a calm and even tone.
The obedient child was overwhelmed with shock.
Immediately, Chaochao, who had been full of curiosity just a second ago, froze. She tried her best to look around nonchalantly, muttering to herself.
"W-What kind of candy is this...?"
"Why... I don't see any candy... Daddy, are you getting old and your eyesight is failing?"
Huo Qin, who was in his prime in the eyes of others but was described as an "old man" by the little dumpling, twitched slightly.
The little dumpling, who had accidentally "fallen down," quickly got up and, abandoning his sneaky demeanor, stood up straight with his head held high and his little belly puffed out, speaking with righteous indignation.
"Daddy, if you don't believe me, look. I told you there wasn't any."
"The candies are all safely stored in the jar."
She couldn't resist secretly doing something!
The little dumpling said this.
Now... everyone knows where these secret candies came from.
Feeling confident that she had gotten away with it, Chaochao put her hands in her pockets. When asked why she wasn't putting her hands on her hips, she replied that it was because she felt safe touching the candy in her pockets. She then raised her head like a triumphant little dog.
Just looking at it makes you want to laugh.
The file, which I had just opened, was ruthlessly closed again in less than a minute.
This work is completely impossible to continue.
Huo Qin looked at her.
"I have presbyopia?"
"Then what about you almost eating that chubby little bird like it was a steamed bun?"
That's because it really looks like a black rice bun!
And she knew it wasn't just by taking a sniff.
After all, the unique flavor of grass, soil, and a bit of rice cake is completely different from the aroma of steamed buns...
The little dumpling in front of me, with its hands in its pockets, turned its face slightly to the side, its bright black eyes glancing at me sideways. Its lively face seemed to be saying, "That's easy, Daddy, you're so stupid."
"Of course I'm Xiaohua!"
She said it out loud with considerable confidence.
This won't stump her!
Chaochao, who cleverly uses lines from TV dramas but has no idea what presbyopia actually means, is portrayed as an illiterate yet confident character.
I am the queen, my confidence shines!
—Of course I was joking!
Aunt Ning, who was hesitating whether it was a good time to go out as she opened the door a crack, suddenly heard Miss Chaochao's clear and firm voice. Her face, which had been slightly uneasy, was now filled with blankness and astonishment.
Why did Miss Chaochao suddenly start cursing at herself?
Was it...something that triggered it?
The little girl, who was radiating confidence, had not received any praise from her father for a long time. Finally, she lowered her raised chin and looked at the man opposite her who had not spoken since.
"Daddy, why aren't you saying anything?"
Naturally because...
#Cannot speak, will laugh if it does.#
"Sharp Eyes?" The system stared at President Huo's lips, which were almost harder to suppress than AK's, and carefully typed each word into the public screen.
"...because you're right."
Huo Qin looked at the little dumpling with his indifferent, dark eyes and nodded in agreement in a serious manner, but the slight smile in his slightly curved eyes betrayed his thoughts at that moment.
However, the little dumpling, immersed in her smug mood, didn't look closely. As soon as she heard her dad's praise, she happily wagged her tail.
Overjoyed, she pulled her small hand out of her pocket, ready to put it on her hip: "Of course, I'm very good at doing the opposite of what I say—"
Snap!
A spherical object, resembling a candy and refracting colorful light, was pulled out of her pocket along with her small hand and landed crisply in the eyes of the father and daughter.
Chaochao's confident, childlike voice suddenly choked: "..."
She lowered her head and stared at the useless thing on the ground for a moment, not raising her head for a long time under Huo Qin's seemingly indifferent gaze.
Because I haven't yet decided on my testimony for court.
"Well, this...uh..."
Then, a tactical pause for reflection.
She was wondering if she should just obediently hand the candy back, since it didn't seem too willing to be eaten by her...
As Chaochao racked her brains for words, she couldn't help but cast a resentful glance at Tang Aiqing, who had escaped from prison three times, at her feet.
I love you so, so much! Why did you run away?!
I'm not going to eat you! I... uh...
It doesn't seem so.
—Sugar, though disappointing, is undeniably delicious.
It was her insistence!
The system vaguely sensed that its own little one seemed to be awakening a talent for forced love... This... doesn't it seem so!
Just when Huo Qin thought the stiff little dumpling would never be able to lift her head again, Chaochao, having finished her contemplation, suddenly raised her head, pointed to the thing on the ground, blinked her almond-shaped eyes innocently, and said to Huo Qin with a serious and certain expression—
"This might be Grey Grey's poop, the kind that's a bit round..." Chaochao, trying to convince the adults, even gestured with her hands. But as she talked, she convinced herself and seriously considered another possibility, "It could also be Grey Grey's bird egg, the kind that looks like round poop..."
The grey magpie, which was secretly catching insects on the lawn in the yard, suddenly felt a chill on its bottom. It turned its head to look around guiltily, and when it saw that no one was around, it immediately turned back and started preparing its own food much faster.
