Chapter Twenty-Two: Uncle is So Scary

out her phone and started dialing. Qiao Shunchen asked about it curiously. 。"Who are you calling so late""A rideshare driver, I had some drinks and can't drive." 。As soon as Qin Jingwen's voice trai...Joe Shun-chen tasted the metallic tang of blood, but his face remained impassive as he stared intently at Qin Jingwen. 。This is another first, the first time being bitten by a woman while kissing. 。“You're getting bolder.” 。“ Qiao Shunchen said angrily, his eyes blazing, as if he wanted to devour Qin Jingwen.

"Well, I was only defending myself. You should be grateful I didn't slap you. " 。"

Qin Jingwen was not to be outdone either. As his employee, she could unconditionally obey him at work, but she wasn't his woman, nor someone he could treat casually. " 。"Joe Shun-Chen, I warn you, if you mess with me again, I'm quitting. I don't care about contracts or anything else. And XuanXuan, I'll take care of him. I just can't stand your parenting style." 。" Qin Jingwen spoke loudly, then turned and walked away. 。Qin Jingwen woke up with a bad temper, and no one to confide in. 。She's kissed and hugged Qiao Shunchen more than once, and if she told anyone they wouldn't believe that there was nothing between them. 。When I'm feeling lost, I really want to just leave like I did four years ago. Not caring about work and just putting myself first is the most important thing. 。But when you quiet your mind, you still have to face reality. 。She needs this job, she needs more platforms to showcase her talents, and most importantly, she needs to work hard to pay off her debts. 。She also has children to raise, her sister's education and work, and her aunt who is getting older and needs to be taken care of. 。It all rested on her shoulders, how could she just throw away her job so carelessly 。Qin Jingwen told herself to persevere, that there would one day be sunshine. 。After work, Qin Jingwen went directly to pick up her children. The two children followed along, but were obstructed by the housekeeper. 。Qin Jingwen called Qiao Shunchen again. 。"Tell the butler I'm taking XuXu home." 。“ Qin Jing's voice was stiff and cold, clearly still angry about this morning. ” 。"If I disagree with XuanXuan going to your place" A provocative tone, Qiao Shunchen wanted to see just how stubborn this woman could be. 。I will go with the butler to see grandpa. I am confident that I can persuade him. 。Qin Jingwen was insistent, as if no one could change her. If she hadn't had this determination, she wouldn't have lasted so long all these years. 。"Grandpa, that name sounds pretty good" 。"Do you know what your calling me 'grandfather' means" 喬舜辰的聲音冰冷，嘴角卻勾起一抹諷笑的弧度. 。It seems this woman is truly sincere. Not only has she gotten close to Qiao Zixuan, but now she's also getting closer to Grandpa. This isn't simple. 。"Don't change the subject. The housekeeper is right here with me. If you don't call him, I'll go see Grandpa myself." 。Qin Jingwen didn't want to say another word to this conceited man. His coldness was so intense, she feared being frozen by it. 。"Stop calling me Grandpa, Grandpa! Are you my woman or my wife"Joe Shunchen still didn't answer the question. This woman wanted to deceive him, he would see who ended up being deceived in the end. 。"Damn it, I don't have time for your nonsense" 。Qin Jingwen couldn't see any hope in Qiao Shunchen, so she could only look for another breakthrough. 。After Qin Jingwen finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly. 。But when she looked up, she saw something that left her speechless. 。Joe Shunchen is standing behind the butler right now, pretending to cause trouble. It's really annoying. 。"Young Master " 。The housekeeper saw Qiao Shunchen and quickly greeted him. 。"Daddy..."Joe Zi Xuan was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, and ran straight towards Joe Shun Chen. 。If he remembers correctly, this is Daddy's first time coming to kindergarten to pick him up. 。"Liu Guanjia, please tell grandfather that these days I will come to pick up Xu Xu." 。Joe Shun-chen gave his orders silently, but his bottomless eyes never left Qin Jingwen. 。Watching her face flush slightly from anger, and her clear eyes that were stubborn and refused to give up. 。Joe Shunchen recalled the bloody kiss from this morning, his throat tightening involuntarily. 。Okay, young master 。"

Liu, the steward, took his orders and immediately turned to leave.

Seeing Liu the Butler leave, and thinking back to what his father had just said, Qiao Zixuan felt a little panicked. 。"Daddy, I don't want to go to your house" 。I want to go home with my aunt. 。As Qiao Zixuan spoke, he took two steps back, clearly starting to feel afraid. 。Qin Jingwen sensed Qiao Zixuan's fear, taking a step forward to come beside him, placing her hand on his shoulder, giving him warmth and comfort in the face of his fear. 。"Come on, what will it take to get Xuanxuan to come to my place" 。In front of the child, Qin Jingwen didn't want to argue and didn't want to affect the child's mood, so she could only compromise and not be strong. 。"Let's talk at your place." 。Then, Qiao Shunchen brought Xuanxuan to Qin Jingwen's house once again. 。"I cook, you play with the kids." 。Qin Jingwen used cooking as an excuse to directly avoid Qiao Shunchen. 。This man is poisonous, she fears that frequent contact with him will also make her cold and ruthless. 。Qin Jingwen quickly prepared dinner. Because there was Qiao Shunchen today, she naturally prepared more for dinner. 。Four people sat around the dinner table, beginning to eat. 。"Daddy's having dinner, Auntie's having dinner" 。"Joe Hsu opened politely, his face full of smiles, it could be seen that he was in a good mood. " 。While Qin Jingwen was cooking, Qiao Shunchen was in the living room, reading a magazine and observing Qiao Zixuan. 。He is very happy here, always with a smile on his face. Such Qiao Zhexuan has never been like this at home. 。At this moment, Qiao Zixuan at the table was smiling even more brilliantly and innocently. It could be seen that he genuinely liked Ban Yue and Qin Jingwen. 。"Mommy, Uncle is eating... " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! 。"

Ban Yue also followed Qiao Zi Xuan's rhythm politely>>> 。But she wasn't finished speaking, and she continued. 。"Mommy, Uncle's name is weird. " 。If it's Mommy and Daddy, it's much more comfortable. 。"

He was mischievous, but deep down he really thought that. " 。

“Half Moon”

Qin Jingwen didn't expect the child to say that, she was instantly embarrassed. 。"Well, if Daddy and Mommy eat together, then we're a happy family of four." 。This time, Qiao Zixuan was walking down with the footprints of half a month. 。This time it was Qiao Shunchen who froze, why would Qiao Zixuan have such an idea He clearly had Mommy, why would he want Qin Jingwen to be his mommy 。It seems Qin Jingwen has a deep influence over the child and has already won Qiao Zixuan's trust. If Qin Jingwen goes to grandpa next, it will truly be him who gets deceived. 。 Qiao Shunchen thought of this and suddenly shot a cold light at Qin Jingwen. He underestimated the woman's ability to deceive in front of him. 。Don't look at me, I have nothing to do with it. 。You didn't give your children the opportunity to be close to you. 。Qin Jingwen understood the meaning behind Qiao Shunchen's chilling gaze, but she wasn't afraid and didn't care about his warning. 。As long as she can make Xuan happy for a day, everything she does is worth it, even if she is misunderstood or scolded. 。The two children seemed to feel the chill, and without another word they quickly bowed their heads and ate. 。The meal was eaten peacefully this time, no one said anything more. Qiao Shunchen also put his thoughts aside and ate seriously. 。He had to admit that this woman's cooking was pretty good. He hadn't eaten such a home-cooked meal in 19 years. 。Over the past 19 years, no one has cooked a meal for him by hand. 。 Qiao Shunchen ate a lot tonight, sweeping up all the delicious food on the table. 。The satisfied person put down their chopsticks, but then heard Halbmond speak in a somewhat sad tone. 。"Uncle, when I saw you with mom that day, I thought you loved her. But these past few days, I've noticed that you are always mean to her." 。I don't know what Mommy did wrong, but I think Mommy shouldn't be treated this way. 。For the entire half-month, she couldn't stop thinking about how Qiao Shunchen looked at her mother with a threatening gaze. This made her feel deeply uneasy. 。Seeing that everyone else has finished their meal won't affect my appetite, I'll wait half a month before opening my mouth. 。"Daddy kissed Auntie" Qiao Zixuan asked in surprise. Before half a month could answer, he continued to turn towards Qiao Shunchen 。"Daddy, you're a man, if you kiss Auntie, you have to take responsibility for Auntie." 。Joe Hsueh only said this after gathering his courage, because compared to his own mother, he really hoped that Auntie could become Mommy. 。A cold glint shot from Qiao Shunchen's eyes, making Qiao Zixuan lower his head and remain silent. 。"Mommy, didn't you go on a blind date" 。If that uncle could accept us, if he wasn't mean to you 。Why don't you just marry that uncle 。If someone is protecting us, then no one will bully us anymore. 。" Qiao Zixuan was afraid of his uncle, but for half a month's sake to protect Mommy, she wasn't afraid of anyone. " 。This way, I can also worry Uncle. If Uncle is really worried, won't he be less harsh towards Mommy 。Qin Jingwen knew that both children spoke for her own good. They couldn't stand Qiao Shunchen's fiery temper, and they disapproved of how he treated her with cold indifference. 。But she didn't want the child to worry about adult matters. 。"Half-month, Xuanxuan you guys go to the living room and continue playing " 。I have something to tell my uncle. 。Qin Jing gently pushed the two children away, leaving only her and Qiao Shunchen at the table. 。"Firstly, I apologize for Half Moon's rudeness just now. 。Qin Jingwen endured all her emotions, trying her best to remain calm. 。Because the restaurant is open-air, she's worried about disturbing the two children. 。Qin Jingwen paused for a moment and continued speaking. 。"Still the same thing, I have no ill intentions towards you. " 。When I divorced my husband, I decided that I would never find another man for the rest of my life. 。You are a man, with a wife and children, and are definitely not within my consideration. 。"So now you want me to believe you You've brainwashed Xuanxuan, and you still want to see Grandpa. Once you take control of Grandpa, your plan will be half complete." 。Woman, stop acting in front of me. I've met countless people and can tell at a glance what you are. 。Joe Shunchen lowered his voice, because Half Moon's words just now made him ashamed, but there was anger in his chest, an anger that stemmed from Half Moon's words. 。"I… I don't even know what to say." 。Since you've made up your mind that I'm a fraud, I have nothing left to say. 。Dinner is finished, let's go home. 。Don't let this con artist tarnish your noble character. 。Qin Jingwen was certain that no matter what she did, she wouldn't change Qiao Shunchen's mind. Since that was the case, she wasn't going to clarify anything. She would see how much she could deceive him in the end. 。Qin Jingwen got up and returned to her room, leaning listlessly against the door, her eyes red, her heart aching with grievance. 。Four years ago when Chu Yang called her a liar, she hadn't felt this indignant and wronged. Now, she couldn't stomach it at all. 。The next day, to everyone's surprise, Qiao Shunchen didn't take XuenXun away. As a result, XuenXun stayed at Qin Jingwen's house without any worries. 。>ing against me. If she goes against me, I won't accept her" 。"Dad, you've confused me. When did you start caring so much about Half Moon She's not our child, why would you give up Ye Wen for her" 。Joe...
