Xiaxia could cry freely in her uncle's arms, but when she saw her father, she immediately held back her tears for a moment.
She sniffed, then wiped her tears away with Wei Yutang's clothes, forcing herself to force a smile that looked even uglier than crying.
"Dad, good morning."
Xiaxia can't stand spicy food, yet she loves it. Usually, Chu Qing is there to keep an eye on her, so it's hard to say who was in the wrong today.
Chu Qing, who originally wanted to say something to Xia Xia, couldn't bear to do it after seeing Xia Xia's aggrieved appearance, and reached out his hand to Xia Xia.
The child, who was crying because he was upset, quickly ran towards his father after seeing him reach out his hand.
She sniffed, trying to hold back her tears, which were already welling up in her eyes, but she forced them not to fall.
"dad……"
Chu Qing walked over and glanced at the Chongqing noodles on the table. She went to the kitchen to heat up a cup of milk, tested the temperature to make sure it wasn't too hot, and then handed it to Xia Xia.
Milk is much more effective at relieving the spiciness than plain water. After Xiaxia calmed down, she leaned obediently on her father's shoulder, her face still wet with tears, and said:
"Dad... I was wrong, I'll never do it again."
This little guy's assurances about eating spicy food are completely unreliable; his remorse is only truly sincere in this situation where he's suffering from the spiciness.
"Um."
Wei Yutang, on the other hand, was not unaware that milk could relieve spiciness; it was just that Xiaxia was crying in his arms at the time, which made him panic and he didn't remember that such a thing existed for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know Xiaxia couldn't eat spicy food."
After a night of adjustment, Chu Qing has begun to gradually adapt to the original owner's character.
He has a bad temper, is spoiled, self-righteous, and doesn't like to do many things. He will never do anything himself if he can give orders.
Before Wei Yutang could answer, Chu Qing simply ignored him and took Xia Xia to the bathroom to wash his face.
Xiaxia's eyes were red and swollen after crying, making her look pitiful and heartbreaking.
Her long, curled eyelashes seemed to still be damp, and her face, which bore a resemblance to Chu Qing's, was exquisite even at a young age.
"I will definitely pay more attention next time."
Wei Yutang went over and said something again, and Chu Qing finally glanced at him.
"A child this age shouldn't eat spicy food, why didn't you know that?"
"Be more careful next time? Does being more careful next time mean Xiaxia didn't cry this time?"
Everyone present thought Chu Qing's words were extremely impolite, but Wei Yutang thought they were fine.
It's really unacceptable for a father to not even know such a small thing.
No matter how careful you are next time, Xiaxia has already cried her heart out this time. Her sadness and tears were genuine.
If Chu Qing can remember so many things related to Xia Xia so well, why can't I do the same?
[Although Xiaxia cried terribly just now, whose child is Xiaxia? Chu Qing is shirking responsibility and pushing all the blame onto Wei Yutang?]
Just hearing that makes me want to punch him. If Wei Yutang doesn't explode soon, I'm going to stop being a fan.
[Could Chu Qing see that Wei Yutang likes him, which is why she's acting this way?]
Wei Yutang is unparalleled in the entertainment industry when it comes to choosing scripts, but he's really not good at judging people. If he had fallen for Qi Ning, I wouldn't be so sad.
[+1, Chu Qing, even with a beautiful face, what's so good about him? He still managed to bewitch Wei Yutang.]
Some die-hard fans who haven't given up hope that Chu Qing's various willful behaviors will make Wei Yutang resentful and dissatisfied, and that he will eventually give up.
These fans are usually very ambitious and self-centered, thinking the whole world revolves around them. They use the threat of losing fans to try and achieve the results they desire.
However, there is another group of fans who need to be more rational and express their affection in a more subtle way.
[You can say that, but don't say it as a Wei Yutang fan. It's truly shameful to like the same person as people like you!]
[Even my five-year-old brother knows that children over three years old shouldn't eat too spicy food. I really didn't think this through.]
[Chu Qing's words weren't very pleasant, but I could understand them? My second aunt's younger brother ate a few bites of chili peppers and immediately called an ambulance.]
Wei Yutang felt ashamed after Chu Qing's words, and Xia Xia felt guilty, clutching her clothes tightly.
Even though he was his father's little darling, he didn't dare to say a word when his father was angry. He could only wait a while and then secretly run to apologize to his uncle.
Chu Qing's expression turned even colder when she heard the task notification from the system in her mind. She wanted to say something more, but then she heard Wei Yutang apologize to her in a good-natured manner.
She pursed her lips and said in an ambiguous voice:
I'm hungry.
These words made Wei Yutang raise his head, and he subconsciously replied:
"What would you like to eat? I'll ask the chef to make it."
Author's Note:
Second update. I'm so addicted to this, I can't keep going like this!
Chapter 50
Wei Yutang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chu Qing say that. It wasn't that he didn't want to listen to Chu Qing continue rambling, but he really didn't know how to answer some of his questions.
It's not difficult to admit your mistakes in front of the camera, but he can't afford to gamble on the potential impact on Chu Qing.
Chu Qing gave a soft "hmm". According to the original owner's character, he would definitely stay here and not move, and would never offer to help.
Xiaxia then took the initiative to run over, saying that she also wanted to see what he was eating.
Xiaxia's actions made Chu Qing turn his head to look at him. This little boy, who hadn't even wiped away his tears, hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a promise to his father, imitating the way people in TV dramas swear oaths.
"I've had the spiciest one yet."
"Um."
Wei Yutang and Xia Xia went to the kitchen. The door was closed from the inside to make sure no one outside could hear them. The two, one big and one small, looked at each other.
Xiaxia sniffed; she had just cried quite hard, and her voice still trembled with sobs.
"Uncle, I'm sorry..."
“My dad didn’t mean to be mean to you. He’s never been mean to me like that before.”
Wei Yutang knelt down in front of Xia Xia and wiped away the tears that were about to fall from his eyes.
"It's okay, your dad didn't yell at me, it was just normal conversation."
Xia Xia is still unaware of his identity, and Wei Yutang is well aware that now is definitely not the best time to be honest, so he can only vaguely gloss over the matter.
Upon hearing Wei Yutang's words, Xia Xia's eyes widened as she stared intently at the uncle in front of her.
She was just feeling sad, but now her eyes are filled with doubt.
This uncle... could he... have some kind of problem? Or does he think he can be easily fooled and fooled just because he's a kid?
"Uncle, Dad really yelled at you just now."
As Xiaxia spoke, she felt a little tired of standing, so she found a small stool in the kitchen and sat down.
Wei Yutang squatted down in front of him, so they could look each other in the eye. They stared at each other for a moment, then Xia Xia nodded slightly and said with absolute certainty:
"Really, I yelled at you."
The child's earnest and stubborn manner was so adorable that it made Wei Yutang, who had just wanted to deny it, want to tease him.
"Is Xiaxia going to help me get revenge? Dad scolded me."
Xiaxia's little hands, which were placed at her sides, were clenched into fists, and her head was shaking rapidly like a rattle drum.
"Uncle, Xiaxia just misunderstood."
"My dad has a very good temper and never yells at anyone."
After saying this, Xiaxia patted her bottom and told her uncle that she wanted to eat the same breakfast as her father, then quickly ran outside.
This uncle is unreliable; he actually wants Xiaxia to help him get revenge.
Xiaxia could pretend to be okay with anyone else, but not with her father. Firstly, Xiaxia couldn't bear to do it, and secondly, she was afraid her father would spank her.
Just by looking at his uncle with his eyes open, you can tell that Dad didn't mean any harm to him. Even if Dad spanked him severely, his uncle would just stand by and not dare to say a word.
Wei Yutang asked the chef in the kitchen. This chef had arrived earlier than all of them and should know Chu Qing's preferences.
"Mr. Chu prefers something lighter, so I just happened to make chicken soup. Shall we make chicken noodle soup?"
"OK."
I know there are still Wei Yutang fans watching, so I hope you can be more considerate and set up keyword blocking.
[It's like this, I always feel that Wei Yutang and Xiaxia are really like my family. It's like when I do something wrong, my dad protects me, and then my mom gets angry and kicks us all out!!!]
While the other guests were still getting to know each other, this group had already started living their own little lives.
[I just want to tell you a joke: Wei Yutang didn't have a very good temper.]
[Wait a minute, that's not necessarily true. Those news stories from before can still be found online.]
[Do you remember that actor, whose name is so-and-so, who tried to get a role by bringing his own investment and squeezed out Wei Yutang? What did Mr. Wei do then?]
That incident happened when Wei Yutang debuted quite early in his career. Some people made wild guesses, thinking that since there was such a big age gap between Wei Yutang and his brother, their relationship couldn't be considered good.
There were even people claiming to be insiders who confidently asserted that in their circle, anyone with a good relationship with their family would never be allowed to enter the entertainment industry.
If he really has a good relationship with his older brother, why doesn't his older brother arrange a position for him in the family company?
Even if they're unambitious, there are plenty of spoiled rich kids in their circle who just coast along and do nothing, so no one needs to work hard to act.
Anyway, that actor eventually disappeared from the entertainment industry, and all his previous works were taken down. Even the company that was supposedly his backer declared bankruptcy a year later.
[I'm starting to wonder, if President Wei sees Wei Yutang being bullied like this on a variety show, will he blacklist Chu Qing?]
[President Wei would absolutely not allow his brother to be bullied like this; the Wei family's fierce protectiveness is obvious to all.]
[I heard the production crew will be filming at the partner's house for a while longer, then we'll see Chu Qing get her comeuppance!!!]
[Can we fast forward to that point? I'm really curious.]
Mentioning Wei Zong has reignited the passion of many previously die-hard fans.
