Chapter 137: Unruly
Qin Lan's words were uttered with controlled emotion. Looking at the two pitiful children at this moment, she really wanted to cry and apologize to everyone.Qin Jingwen said frankly, her purpose was not to trouble the elderly, but to create more opportunities for Qiao Shunchen to come here. 。"No worries, no worries, welcome whenever you have time!" 。“ Jo Liang quickly responded, and also understood Qin Jingwen’s meaning. 。Uncle, we'd like to have lunch here, or I can cook it myself. 。Qin Jingwen felt that she was being a little too forward, not even knowing if Qiao Liang liked her before clinging on like this. 。But she can't help it. 。"Qin Jingwen 。"
Joe Shun-chen finally couldn't help but coldly remind Qin Jingwen that she was making decisions unilaterally. He had been using his hands to convey his opposition all along, but Qin Jingwen ignored his feelings and became more and more willful, even wanting to stay here for lunch. She hadn't said anything like this before coming. " 。Finally, Qiao Shunchen spoke. Although he only said three words, and although his tone was bad, the fact that he spoke at all made Qin Jingwen very happy. 。Qin Jingwen's lips curled into a smile, her dimples deepening. 。She ignored the anger in Qiao Shunchen's eyes and spoke softly. 。"I'm hungry, can you bear to let me go back home with an empty stomach" 。"
Qin Jingwen wasn't hungry, she just hoped that Qiao Shunchun could stay by her father's side for a little longer. After all, such an opportunity was too rare. How many years had it been This should be the first time he took the initiative to come knocking. " 。"If you're hungry, go back and eat. Now, let's go." 。" Qiao Shunchen stood up as he spoke, taking Qin Jingwen's hand and pulling her along. " 。At this time, the most nervous person was not Qin Jingwen, but Qiao Liang. 。As Qiao Shunchen stood up to leave, his heart clenched. His anxiety was palpable. 。All of this Qin Jingwen saw with her own eyes. It seemed that Qiao Liang cared about this son very much, caring about every move the son made, holding his heart in it. 。Qin Jingwen's hand was being pulled by Qiao Shunchen, but she still sat there without moving. The smile on her face was still there, but this time it was accompanied by a mischievous look. 。I can't wait to get home, I'll starve to death halfway there. 。I just want to eat here. 。Qin Jingwen had never acted like a coquettish woman in front of Qiao Shunchen before. At this moment, she was desperate, using every trick up her sleeve. 。Qin Jingwen's eyes were filled with pity, looking at Qiao Shunchen, she felt a pang of sympathy. 。But he couldn't have dinner with his father after all, and finally... "I'll go back first. You eat here." 。As Qiao Shunchen was about to leave, Qin Jingwen saw that Qiao Liang's emotions were even more tense. Every nerve in his body was taut, fearing that his son would just leave like this. 。Qin Jingwen tugged at Qiao Shunchen's hand with all her might, using both hands when one wasn't enough. 。"You're going to pick us up at night, that's so much trouble." 。Qin Jingwen was still good-natured, and in front of Qiao Liang, she couldn't be stubborn. 。"I'm not taking it, you go back yourself." 。 Qiao Shunchen wanted to leave, but his hand was held by Qin Jingwen. 。Watching her be so cute even when she was being a nuisance, Qiao Shunchen couldn't bear to push her hand away, so he just stood there. 。"I don't have a car, how are we going to get back" 。If you don't care about us, I'll stay here with the two children. 。" Uncle, just stay. I'm hungry too." 。“
Half Moon was quick to speak up and help Mommy. She didn't know Mommy's intentions, but she supported her. ” 。"Daddy, just stay." 。Joe Hsueh spoke in a low voice. 。When Dad is angry, he never dares to speak. 。Today, he only dared to timidly follow along with a sentence because both Aunt and Half Moon were there. 。Leave 。“
This sentence, brimming with anticipation, was spoken by Qiao Liang.
" 。He wanted his son to stay more than anyone, even just for a few more moments of conversation, even just for the luxury of looking at his silent son. 。
"…."
Qiao Shunchen's brows furrowed deeply, his eyes filled with cold intensity, but he didn't speak. 。It's just having lunch, not going to the executioner. There's nothing wrong with that. 。What do you want to eat, I'll cook for you. 。“Qin Jingwen spoke in a consultative tone, her voice soft, never letting go of his hands.” 。At this time, the moon ran to Qiao Shunchen's side, grabbed Qiao Shunchen's other hand, and started acting coquettishly, begging... 。"Uncle, just stay here. You can't bear to let Ban Yue go back hungry." 。"
As Ban Yue spoke, she pushed hard at Qiao Shunchen. Coupled with Qin Jingwen's forceful pull from the other side, Qiao Shunchen finally sat back beside Qin Jingwen reluctantly. " 。The moment he sat down, it meant he had conceded. Everyone in the living room, including Zhou Zhi's tense nerves, relaxed. 。The happiest of them all is Qiao Liang. 。He was as excited as a child, suddenly jumping up from the sofa. 。"Today I cooked by myself, I made lunch for you" 。" Joe said that, and quickly walked towards the kitchen, the two children excitedly followed to join in the fun. 。At this time, only Qiao Shunchen and Qin Jingwen were left in the living room. Qiao Shunchen's face was even more gloomy. 。"Qin Jingwen, you're not following the rules. You said you'd come and have a look but went back." 。Then don't wait for next time. 。" Qiao Shunchen angrily denounced Qin Jingwen, but Qin Jingwen didn't show any anger at all. Instead, the smile on her face became even more brilliant. 。She looked around to make sure no one was watching, then she reached out her arms and gave Joe Shunchen a hug. 。And whispered softly in his ear, 。Thank you for staying 。Otherwise, I'll lose face. 。Such a soft and gentle voice, making the cold heart melt at this moment. 。All resentment and anger from earlier have vanished. 。Then reward me 。“ Though the voice was still cold, it sounded playful. ” 。Qin Jingwen left Qiao Shunchen's chest and once again looked around to make sure no one was watching. After confirming, she took the initiative to kiss Qiao Shunchen. 。The kiss was like a dragonfly's touch, ending in an instant. Yet, it filled Qiao Shunchen with happiness and contentment. 。"Alright, if you behave, there will be more rewards for you." 。Qin Jing smiled sweetly, her bright and clear eyes reflecting a mischievous glint. 。When I came in, I saw a basketball court under the trees over there. You could take the kids to play basketball. 。I went to the kitchen to help my uncle cook. 。"That way you won't have to keep looking at your uncle, how about that Am I being considerate" 。As Qin Jingwen spoke, she also got up and pulled Qiao Shunchen up. 。 Qiao Shunchen didn't want to face his father, so he took the two children out to play, which allowed Qin Jingwen to come to the kitchen to help. 。"Uncle, I helped you" 。Qin Jingwen started to help as she spoke. 。"Okay, you help me " 。" Qiao Liang didn't object because there were some things he wanted to tell Qin Jingwen alone. 。"Child, uncle first thanks you, thank you for bringing Shunchen over" 。"Uncle, you don't need to thank me, I didn't do anything. It's his idea that has changed, otherwise he wouldn't have come." 。" Qin Jingwen said humbly. 。"That's also you who made him change. " 。" Qiao Liang paused for a moment, then spoke thoughtfully. 。"Wenwen, I've known about Shunchen and all this for many years." 。Some of it was told to me by my grandfather, some I had people investigate, but I limited myself to official matters. I never investigated personal matters; those were all things I heard from my grandfather. However, I was unaware of your existence. 。"I want to know what your relationship is, you don't mind, do you" Qiao Liang was afraid of hurting Qin Jingwen, so he asked cautiously. 。"Uncle, I don't mind " 。To put it bluntly, my relationship with CEO Joe is an inappropriate romantic one. 。He gave me money, and I went with him. 。Qin Jingwen wasn't at all surprised that Qiao Liang would ask this. After all, her appearance was rather sudden, and any father wouldn't be concerned about it. 。She never intended to hide her relationship with Joe Shunchen from Joe Liang. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been holding hands with him in public for everyone to see. 。"Uncle, please rest assured, I won't cling to Mr. Qiao. I know my limits and will separate when it's time." 。Qin Jingwen was afraid that Qiao Liang would be like Qiao Dexiang and dislike her existence, so she quickly stated her position to avoid making the relationship between father and son worse because of her. 。“Child, you're overthinking things. Uncle doesn't care about these matters; Uncle has no concept of social standing.” 。His private affairs are his own business as long as he is happy. 。" Qiao Liang hurriedly explained that he cared about Qiao Shunchen but didn't interfere. 。He doesn't want his son to live an unhappy life like he did. 。 Qiao Liang's reaction surprised Qin Jingwen. He and Joe De Xiang were completely different types of people. He didn't seem to dislike her, nor was he worried that she would have a negative influence on Joe Shunchen. 。"You intentionally brought Shunchen here, didn't you That means you knew about the conflict between him and me." 。" Qiao Liang said resolutely, without stopping his cooking. " 。"Actually, the chairman asked me to ease the tension between you two. The chairman didn't say anything, so I had no idea where to start. That's why I went to Song Xinzhe and inquired about it. I got a general sense of how strained your relationship is." 。“ Qin Jingwen didn't hide anything, she told the truth. 。"Uncle, I apologize. I don't want to pry into your privacy. It's just that without the truth, I can't resolve Mr. Qiao's knot in his heart, and I won't be able to complete the task assigned to me by the Chairman." 。"Qin Jingwen took the initiative to apologize. If it weren't for Qiao Shunchen, she wouldn't have casually inquired about other people's privacy." 。"It's nothing, it's not a secret. " 。Those who know, know. I'm not afraid of anyone knowing. 。I'm so grateful that you did this, no matter the reason, no matter the method, at least Shunchen came to me. 。"This child almost cut off all contact with me after his mother passed away. " 。> I only get to see him on New Year's Eve when we have our reunion dinner. It's a pity that he doesn't talk to me. 。" He has pushed himself to the limit just to get here. This is all thanks to you." 。Just this point shows that Qin Jingwen is no ordinary person to Qiao Shunchen. 。The conflict between the father and son has many people trying to mediate, but for so many years it has been ineffective. Qin Jingwen is the only one who can make Qiao Shunchen change. 。"Uncle, don't worry either. The fact that he came to you is a good start. Since I've already promised the chairman, I will do my best to open his heart knot." 。"Qin Jingwen heard the helplessness in Qiao Liang's voice and quickly comforted him. " 。It seems that the father and son haven't had it easy all these years, both carrying burdens in their hearts. 。This might also be why Joe Xiang insisted on her help. He couldn't bear for the father and son to remain at odds like this. 。"Well, no need to worry now. With you and me here, there's nothing to be anxious about." 。" Qiao Liang let out a long sigh, feeling the dark clouds that had been pressing down on him for years slowly dissipating. It wouldn't be long before he saw the sun again. " 。ctors. 。Children's hearts are inherently fragile, especially Qiao Zixuan's. He even went through a period of illness. 。From a young age, he experienced darkness that others hadn't. After finally retur...
