"Can we have hot pot then?" Qiqi pouted, emphasizing reluctantly, "But I want spicy hot pot!"
"The spicy hot pot is too stimulating. You're still young, and your stomach is very delicate. You won't be able to handle it." Huo Yusen was afraid that if he refused again, the little girl would cry in front of him again, so he quickly said, "Can it be non-spicy?"
Qiqi lowered her head, her face full of reluctance, her tone helpless, looking sad but obediently acquiescing: "Okay."
Her lowered eyelashes concealed the glint of light in her eyes; there was not a trace of sadness, only a smug smile on her lips.
She was so clever; she first proposed two impossible goals, making her brother Xiao Jiu refuse her twice.
That way, Little Brother Jiu wouldn't be able to refuse her a third time, and she could finally eat the hot pot she wanted!
Unfortunately, the self-proclaimed brilliant young boy was completely unaware that he had been thoroughly outmaneuvered by the girl.
Of course, it's also possible that he knows, but doesn't care, or even enjoys it.
Zheng Ye watched the little girl's adorable and charming demeanor from the side, and his heart couldn't help but melt completely.
Actually, he originally wanted to have a sweet and cuddly daughter with his wife. Although they had a son, which was not bad, he was not as well-behaved and considerate as a daughter.
If he had a daughter, she might be just like this little girl, someone whose appearance makes people feel soft-hearted.
Thinking about what happened today, Zheng Ye took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Qi Qi.
"Qiqi, this is a thank-you gift from your uncle. Thank you so much for today! If it weren't for you, our Linlin would have been in danger."
Qiqi looked at the small card in his hand and frowned in confusion.
"Uncle, what is this?"
Zheng Ye was stunned. Who was this little girl from? Her family hadn't even taught her to recognize a bank card.
Thinking of this, Zheng Ye's impression of the Ji family became inexplicably negative.
He patiently explained to the little girl, "This is called a bank card. You can put money in it and take it out when you need it."
"So, there's money in here?" Qiqi's eyes lit up instantly.
She remembered that when she bought things for all the children in the orphanage, her parents would pay with these little cards.
In other words, she will be able to pay for whatever she wants to buy in the future.
Looking into her big, bright eyes, Zheng Ye couldn't help but chuckle and nod, "Yes, this is Uncle's way of thanking you for saving our little brother."
"Thank you, Uncle." Qiqi took it, felt the wealth inside, and smiled so broadly that her teeth couldn't be seen.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a talisman from her pink bag and handed it to him. "Uncle, this is a calming talisman. Please put this under your little brother's pillow. He just went through a life-or-death experience and was frightened. This talisman can help stabilize his soul and prevent him from being troubled by nightmares."
"Okay, thank you." Zheng Ye took it and put it in his pocket like a precious treasure.
Qiqi added, "Don't worry about that bad guy who took the boy away. He's about to be in big trouble, going to jail and eating prison food. He won't have another chance to hurt the boy."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Ye was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat saddened.
After all, he had watched that child grow up.
Even though he and his wife had done their best to take care of him, and even compared to Rinrin, he might have been biased towards Rinrin at times.
But Rinrin was still young, and moreover, she was his own daughter, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with him being slightly biased towards Rinrin.
They raised him, but he doesn't appreciate it at all. Instead, he resents them for their favoritism and abuses Rin Rin when they're not looking. Now he's even kidnapped Rin Rin, intending to kill him.
Even if he ends up like this, it's his own fault, he deserves the consequences.
"Okay, I understand, thank you Qiqi."
"You're welcome!" Qiqi carefully stuffed the bank card into her bag, then looked up at Zheng Ye with an innocent expression and said, "Uncle, you can come to me if you ever encounter any difficulties in the future!"
The little girl is quite young, but she already knows how to promote herself and attract business; she speaks eloquently and skillfully.
Zheng Ye couldn't help but chuckle, and his affection for Qi Qi grew even stronger.
I just regret that Qiqi isn't my own child.
After saying goodbye to Zheng Ye, Huo Yusen took Qiqi to a private hot pot restaurant.
I specifically asked someone to tell the owner to use the freshest and cleanest ingredients.
Qiqi ate a whole table of food, then patted her little bottom contentedly. Remembering that she still had to go home to give her fourth brother and ninth brother acupuncture, she hurriedly urged Huo Yusen to go home quickly.
Half an hour later, the car finally stopped in the Ji family's parking space.
If Huo Yusen hadn't kept the Ji family informed of his and Qiqi's situation throughout, the Ji family probably would have already turned around and come out to arrest him.
After giving Ji Yunhan acupuncture, Qiqi went to give Huo Yusen acupuncture as well.
By the time I finished everything, it was almost midnight.
Qiqi was exhausted, but after running around all day and getting all dirty, she still insisted on taking a shower herself.
When Qiqi finished showering and came out of the bathroom, she saw Ji Chengfeng and his wife sitting on the sofa in her room, holding their phones. When they saw her come out, they immediately waved to her.
"Qibao, come here quickly and meet your grandpa and grandma."
The two elderly members of the Ji family are both over eighty years old this year, and are still in good health. They usually live in the old house.
After Ji Chengfeng and his wife got married, they moved into their current villa.
Ji Chengfeng would only take his whole family back to the old folks during holidays and festivals when the family was reunited.
Upon hearing that she could talk to her grandparents, Qiqi quickly ran over, nestled on Mrs. Ji's lap, looked at the phone camera, and greeted them in a sweet, childish voice: "Hello Grandpa, hello Grandma, my name is Qiqi, I'm Mommy and Daddy's adopted daughter, and I'm three years old this year!"
On the other end of the phone were two elderly people with white hair, wearing pajamas.
They only learned about Ji Chengfeng's adoption of a daughter today.
The reason I'm still awake so late is because I want to wait for Qiqi's video call.
They just didn't expect Qiqi to come back so late, making them wait quite a while.
Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji looked at the little girl who suddenly appeared on the screen. She had a round, chubby face and big, black eyes that sparkled with a mischievous light.
Her snow-white skin is soft and cuddly, making her look as cute as a glutinous rice ball, which makes people fall in love at first sight.
"Oh, Xiao Qibao, how are you!" The two elderly people immediately greeted the camera. Even Grandpa Ji, who was usually serious and profound in front of his younger relatives, had a smile on his face that resembled a chrysanthemum swaying in the wind.
The more Madam Ji looked at Qiqi, the more she liked her.
"This child is so good-looking, he looks like he belongs to the Ji family!"
