Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Not at All
"Aren’t they just a bunch of little rugrats?"
Candy frowned. Some kids from the graduate class would still stay here, but even Xiang’Er went to an arts class. The ones left in the kindergarten are definitely a bunch of crybaby rugrats.
What a laugh, my brother actually wants me to take care of kids.
"Hey~" Candy flashed a bright smile, revealing two rows of white teeth before quickly putting her smile away.
"I don’t want to play with a bunch of rugrats."
Just as Candy tilted her head and blinked playfully at her brother, her chin was firmly grasped by him.
"Oof~"
Candy stretched out her hands to push away, but it was completely ineffective.
Mo Jingchun looked carefully at Candy’s front teeth, nodded seriously, and said, "Can’t tell anymore that your front teeth were ever missing."
Having given up resistance, Candy rolled her eyes. They’ve been like this for over half a year, what kind of teeth take that long to grow? Does her brother think they’re wisdom teeth?
On their way back to the office, Mo Jingchun asked casually, "Why did you change clothes?"
Candy wasn’t bothered at all and replied with a cheeky smile, "Hehe, it’s a secret that can’t be told~"
Mo Jingchun chuckled, "A secret? Are you going to tell me yourself, or should I ask Zero?"
"Ah!" Candy stomped her feet in frustration. How could there be an AI like Zero in this world? So annoying. At this moment, she completely forgot about the times she pestered Zero for stories every day.
Once in the elevator, without others around, Candy fidgeted and said, "I just got my clothes wet while catching fish at Mr. Xu’s place."
"What? You even messed with Old Xu’s little goldfish?" Mo Jingchun was stunned.
If he remembered correctly, those goldfish weren’t that valuable, but they were a gift from Li Wanning, Old Xu’s beloved wife.
Wow, it’s like dancing on Old Xu’s chest and swinging a big hammer.
"Ouch."
Candy covered her flushed cheeks and took a step back, looking warily at her brother.
"Didn’t I tell you not to touch other people’s things?"
"I thought it belonged to the company..."
Back in the office, Candy stood beside her brother with her head down, fiddling with her fingers, as if she had suffered the greatest injustice.
Mo Jingchun opened a drawer and reluctantly took out a canister of tea given to him by Qin Yuzhu.
Oh well, he’s not particularly fond of tea anyway, better give it to Old Xu.
Mo Jingchun shoved the tea into his sister’s arms and said, "Do you know what to do?"
"Yes." Candy nodded.
"Go and apologize."
"Go ahead."
The little one glanced up at her brother and asked sneakily, "Aren’t you coming with me?"
"Where’s my stick?"
Watching his sister dash out of the office, Mo Jingchun sneered.
Damn, she really gets more annoying as she grows up. The netizens weren’t lying. He seriously suspected that once she started elementary school and learned more, she’d start talking back to him, maybe even spouting a bunch of doctrines.
"I’ll let you know, your brother knows all the doctrines."
"Hehehehehe..."
Xia Xiaomin felt a chill down her spine, her boss had an indescribably strange expression. The boss actually gave Candy such precious tea leaves to deliver to President Xu, which was quite unexpected.
On second thought, it seemed rather normal.
At least this move taught Candy that apologies can come at a price.
Over at the president’s office, Candy stood hesitantly at the door with the tea leaves hidden behind her back, not daring to enter for a long while.
"Zhou Yaling, I think Candy is looking for you."
With a colleague’s reminder, Zhou Yaling looked up toward the door, and sure enough, Candy was standing there, pacing and looking conflicted.
Zhou Yaling gestured for Candy to come in, but Candy just glanced over and didn’t move toward her.
The little one seemed to muster up some courage, took a deep breath, and anxiously walked over to Xu Pengfei’s cubicle.
Inside the cubicle, Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning were discussing factory work. Glancing at the little one entering, Xu Pengfei smiled and asked, "You little rascal, what brings you here?"
Candy tiptoed and put the tea leaves on the desk.
"Mr. Xu, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have played with your goldfish."
"It’s a minor thing, as long as you’re okay." Looking at the tea leaves on the desk, Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning exchanged a glance; the tea was something the boss bragged about every time he drank it, and today it was directly gifted to him.
With a mutual understanding, Li Wanning voiced the question her husband wanted to ask.
"Candy, did you take the tea?"
Hearing this, Candy shook her hands vigorously.
"Nope, nope, my brother gave it to me, I didn’t steal it."
Li Wanning nodded at Xu Pengfei, who understood his wife’s intention and said with a smile, "Uncle will accept the tea."
Hearing that the tea was accepted, Candy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Xu, I’ll be going now."
And with that, the little one ran off.
Looking at the tea in his hand, Xu Pengfei chuckled, "The boss is really generous."
Knowing she made a mistake again today, Candy was much quieter in the afternoon, causing much less chaos. The only thing that puzzled Mo Jingchun was that ever since the morning, there hadn’t been any sight of Little Grey in the park. Not even during mealtime.
Little Grey was supposed to always be with Candy.
With a pile of work to handle, Mo Jingchun didn’t think too hard about it, and the whereabouts of Little Grey slipped his mind.
Such a big dog, everyone in the park knows it, who would dare to bully it?
Under the blazing sun, Little Grey, panting with its tongue out, lay exhausted on the ground, dagger glancing at it contemptuously, continuing its regular training without stopping.
In the evening, after work, Mo Jingchun reached the ground floor and finally remembered something was missing around him.
Hmm, where’s Little Grey? Don’t tell me it really got lost.
Mo Jingchun paused, and Candy, bumping into him, collided.
Seeing Candy rubbing her forehead, Mo Jingchun asked, "Where’s Little Grey? Wasn’t it with you this morning?"
Candy froze for a moment and then exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot."
Minutes later, at the military police hall, the three of them stood around Little Grey, sprawled motionless on the carpet. If it weren’t for its moving eyeballs, they’d think it had passed out.
Candy bit her finger and laughed awkwardly, "Brother, Little Grey seems too tired to move."
"Hmm... looks as if it just did some extreme sports."
Glancing again at the arrogant dagger, the difference between dogs was stark.
Look at that, getting disdained by another dog.
Candy tried with all her might but still couldn’t lift Little Grey.
"Alright, let me handle it."
"Did you plan how to tire out Little Grey the day you adopted it?"
