Winter Bamboo Shoots

"What did I tell you to do?"

"Didn't you want to get Jiang Yi into that reality show, Go, Go, Go Together, which starts filming next year? That President Huang just now was one of the show's producers. I had no connections to meet President Huang, so I could only take a roundabout route. But you... sigh, I'm heartbroken."

Qiao Wanqing: "..."

She had vaguely guessed it was because of Jiang Yi, but just now... Ahem. Qiao Wanqing said, "You didn't tell me beforehand. How was I supposed to know?"

"I did tell you."

"When did you tell me? You said you were taking me to meet an important person."

"Isn't President Huang an important person?"

"How does that count as telling me?"

"Wasn't our goal to meet an important person?"

"..." That logic seemed... completely flawless.

Qiao Wanqing knew perfectly well that she could not compete with Gu Yanqing in intelligence. She would be utterly crushed.

She decided to ignore Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing refused to let it go. "Even Koukou knows to admit his mistakes when he does something wrong. Ms. Qiao, what about you?"

Qiao Wanqing: "...Then what do you want?"

Gu Yanqing whispered something into her ear. Qiao Wanqing's ears immediately turned red, and she shoved him away. "Get lost!"

It was already ten when they returned. Koukou, who had never seen snow before, had played all day and was exhausted by evening, so he went to bed early.

Qiao Wanqing went back to check on him first. Yuan Yuan was still at the house too; the family driver would probably take him straight to kindergarten tomorrow. The two little ones were curled up under the same blanket like a pair of real brothers, even pouting slightly in exactly the same way in their sleep.
