The Sound of Bad Luck Knocking on Your Door (13)

"Yeah, they're too young… We can't let them go." Huo Mian smiled.2

"Dad, what's with you? They're only three, how could you ask Mian and Chu to leave them here…" Qin Ning found her father's suggestion a bit absurd too.

"What's wrong with that? They seem to be independent, you don't have to worry at all… Nothing happened even when they went out on their own…" Qin Chu's uncle accidentally slipped up.

Huo Mian immediately caught on, frowned, and asked, "They went out on their own?"

The twins' facial expressions changed and they looked to Qin Ning for help.

Qin Ning immediately tried to cover up, "Ah, so this is what happened. This morning, they wanted to go out but I was busy. I asked the bodyguards to follow them and I picked them up when I was done."

"Qin Ning, what were you thinking? How could you let the bodyguards watch my daughters?" Qin Chu was immediately displeased.

Qin Chu's uncle realized his mistake and immediately shut his mouth.

"I didn't have any other choice... I was busy, so…"

"It's fine with just the bodyguards. Honey, calm down," Huo Mian smiled and comforted Qin Chu.

"You little brat, I'll take care of you later…" Qin Chu pointed at Qin Ning with his chopsticks.

Qin Ning stuck her tongue out and stayed silent...

The twins secretly gave Qin Ning a thumbs up. They meant that she did a great job.

After dinner, Qin Chu and Huo Mian discussed business with their uncle while Qin Ning brought the twins upstairs for their bath… 

Inside the bathroom, Qin Ning was turning the tap on when the twins waddled over to her side.

They each kissed Qin Ning on the cheek.

"What are you doing? Trying to suck up to me?" smiling, Qin Ning asked the twins.

Little Bean said, "Auntie, you're the coolest. Thank you for getting us out of trouble."

Pudding said, "Sorry, Auntie. It's our fault that you got yelled at."

"Come on, it's fine. It's not the first time your daddy yelled at me anyways…" Qin Ning pinched their cheeks.

"If they didn't buy it, we would've been screwed. I noticed how much Mommy's face changed when she heard that we went out alone, it was so scary." Little Bean broke out in cold sweat thinking back to what happened.

"Haha, it turns out you can get scared after all," Qin Ning loudly laughed.

"Of course, my mommy is really scary… When she gets angry, even my daddy will be incredibly scared," Pudding added.

"That's right… People who normally look calm are truly scary when they're angry… Mian looks so gentle and calm normally, but when she gets angry, she can probably cause an earthquake."

"That's right." Pudding gave her aunt a thumbs up.

"Okay, no more talking. It's time for your bath."

After the water was ready, Qin Ning helped them undress and put them into the tub.

"Auntie, thank you for taking care of us. When I go back, I'll mail you a lot of local delicacies." Little Bean always expressed her gratitude through food.

"Okay, okay. I'll wait for it as long as it's not a bucket of potatoes," Qin Ning laughed.

"Of course not, after all, international shipping is so expensive…" Little Bean pouted.

"Auntie, I still hope that you can find time to stay in China for a while," Pudding was still planning to set her auntie and Su Yu up, and she thus kept bringing this topic up.

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. Ah… You'll be gone tomorrow and my vacation will be over… That's really sad, I don't want to go back to work," Qin Ning complained.

Downstairs, as Huo Mian was talking, she suddenly changed the topic, "Uncle, what happened this morning? You said that the kids went out alone."

When Qin Chu's uncle heard that, his facial expression changed and seemed very unnatural.
