230: Inexplicable Cold War

Inexplicable Cold War

In the bedroom, Qiu Xingyu blinked her sparkling eyes and gently pushed open the bedroom door.0

Qiu Xingyu tugged at the corner of Qiu Tong's clothes with innocent eyes. She tilted her head and asked in a childish voice, "Is Mommy feeling unwell?"

"Did Uncle Jin Yang do something wrong and make you angry?"

Qiu Tong burst out laughing. She cupped Qiu Xingyu's adorable face. "Do you like Jin Yang very much?"

Qiu Xingyu thought about it seriously for a while. "Yes! Uncle Jin Yang is very good to us. He will play games with me very patiently."

"He helped Elder Brother adjust any wrong data in his experiments and also corrected Second Brother's fighting stance!"

"In the past, I was very envious of the other children in the kindergarten as they had parents to fetch them home. But now, I also have Uncle Jin Yang!"

Qiu Xingyu excitedly waved her arms as she listed out Jin Yang's various strengths.

Qiu Tong could see how dependent the children were on Jin Yang. She did not know how to tell them that all of this could disappear at any moment.

Half an hour later, Qiu Xingyu came out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Jin Yang, Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao looked up at her at the same time. They surrounded her curiously.

Qiu Xingyu pursed her lips and pointed at Jin Yang. "Mommy must be unhappy because of Uncle Jin Yang! Every time I talk about you, Mommy always looks sad. Did you do anything bad behind our backs?"

Three pairs of eyes stared at Jin Yang. Jin Yang recalled his recent actions and shook his head. He held up three fingers and swore. "Definitely not!"

Qiu Xingyuan supported his chin with his hand. He carefully considered the call Qiu Tong had received and felt that there must be a problem!

Qiu Xingqiao asked with a worried expression, "What should we do now?"

Qiu Xingyuan gestured at Jin Yang to come over. The four of them put their heads together and discussed a plan.

…

The next day, Jin Yang and the children sat obediently at the dining table.

They looked at Qiu Tong's busy back profile in the kitchen and signaled to each other with their eyes.

Qiu Xingqiao cleared his throat. Just as he was about to speak, the doorbell rang and interrupted their plan.

Jin Yang pushed open the door with a frown. Song Yan smiled brightly as he greeted him. He pushed Jin Yang away and bent over to find a pair of slippers to change into. He walked straight to the kitchen and said to Qiu Tong, "Can I trouble you to add another place setting?"

Qiu Tong nodded and they all sat at the dining table, eating in silence.

Qiu Xingyu secretly stepped on Qiu Xingqiao's feet under the table. He gasped in pain and successfully attracted Qiu Tong's attention.

Qiu Xingqiao's eyes flickered. He said in a weak voice, "Mommy! Uncle Jin Yang wants to bring us to the reservoir to fish, is that okay?"

Little Yu pursed her lips and hurriedly added, "It's been very chaotic outside recently. There are always baddies wanting to capture children!"

"I will only be at ease if Mommy comes with us too, okay?"

Qiu Xingyu looked up at Song Yan and asked, "What about you? Do you want to come also?"

Song Yan was very surprised. He glanced at Jin Yang's ugly expression and immediately agreed.

After their meal, Jin Yang, Qiu Xingyuan and the rest gathered in a corner to discuss their plan. Song Yan and Qiu Tong stood side by side in front of the kitchen sink, washing the dishes. His lips curled into a teasing smile as he asked in a low voice, "Why? Did you guys quarrel?"

Qiu Tong denied it, but Song Yan did not mind. He deliberately moved closer to Qiu Tong's side. "Anyway, I'm willing to do anything that can make Jin Yang unhappy. Do you want to see him so jealous that he goes crazy?"

"Why don't we give it a try?"

Song Yan's eyes flickered with the excitement of a prank. Seeing their intimate behavior, Jin Yang quietly gritted his teeth, his eyes dark.

At the S City reservoir, Qiu Xingyuan threw out his fishing rod. He sat on a small rock by the shore and waited for the fish to take the bait.

Jin Yang held his own fishing rod as he prepared the bait. He had wanted to use the excuse of teaching Qiu Tong how to fish to resolve this inexplicable cold war with her. But Song Yan had rushed over to Qiu Tong to guide her.

Song Yan raised his eyebrows smugly at Jin Yang, before taking the seat beside Qiu Tong.

When Qiu Xingyu saw that Jin Yang's plan had failed, she stomped her feet anxiously and ran to Qiu Xingyuan's side to discuss a new strategy with him.

After a while, Qiu Xingqiao ran back from afar. He pointed at a building in the distance and whispered.

Qiu Xingyu's eyes gradually lit up. She nodded vigorously and gave him a thumbs-up. "Good idea!"

Jin Yang and Qiu Tong were sitting very far away from each other. Qiu Tong was focused on the calm water, while Jin Yang was paying attention to Song Yan and her actions. He could not sit still. Qiu Xingyuan and Little Yu suddenly cried out in panic. The fish that had been about to bite the bait were frightened away by their high voice.

"Mommy, Second Brother is gone!"

Qiu Xingyu rubbed her eyes and pointed at a building in the distance. "He said he wanted to play an adventure game. Eldest Brother and I thought he would return soon, but we haven't seen him yet! Could something have happened to Second Brother?"

Qiu Tong saw that the dam was fenced off by railings and knew that Qiu Xingqiao could not have fallen in. Her heart relaxed a little.

"Don't worry. Be good and wait for Mommy here. Don't run around."

"I'll go over there to take a look…"
