SCHS - Chapter 117 [END]

Chapter 117 [Extra 3]

Wen Shixue never thought about having children. As a severe wife-supremacist, she wanted to possess Qin Zhen exclusively, begrudgingly sharing Qin Zhen's love and attention with anyone else. She only wanted Qin Zhen to be completely hers, with every day a sweet world for just the two of them.

She didn't want children, and Qin Zhen didn't say anything either. Anyway, ever since they got together, Qin Zhen had also given up the idea of raising children. There was already one big child in the house; there was no need to raise another.

Xu Jianfan and Jiang Manwei had a daughter.

Fair and tender, with watery eyes, like a little white dumpling, especially cute.

Her nickname was Tuantuan, her full name Qiu Lan. She didn't have a surname yet; they planned to let her decide whether to take her mother's or father's surname when she grew up.

From the moment she was born, Tuantuan was showered with love.

She had a gentle and well-behaved temper, never crying or fussing even when away from her parents, making her incredibly easy to care for.

It went without saying that the Xu and Jiang families treasured her, and even the elderly couple of the Wen family doted on her like their own granddaughter, occasionally having Tuantuan stay at their house for a few days.

Three-and-a-half-year-old Tuantuan was on summer vacation from kindergarten, so she was brought to the Wen family home for a few days.

Wearing a small floral dress and with two little pigtails, she was sitting obediently with Wen Lianchang on the sofa watching cartoons. Then, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed from outside, tap, tap, rhythmic and exceptionally clear.

Her little pigtails wiggled, and she used her chubby little hands to pull herself up on the sofa, slowly poking her head out to look towards the door.

She saw a woman in a red dress stepping on the dappled shadows on the ground, like an angel descending to the human world, walking gracefully towards her adoring audience.

After Tuantuan saw who it was, she immediately jumped up and called out in a sweet, excited voice, "Auntie Qin Zhen!" She spread her arms: "Auntie, hug!"

Auntie Qin Zhen was so nice and gentle to her; she just loved her. Just like she loved her daddies and mommies.

Qin Zhen's eyes curved with a smile as she picked up the little dumpling, stroking her small head: "Tuantuan is here."

Tuantuan nodded her little head, pointing at the TV screen: "Tuantuan came to watch cartoons with Grandpa Wen."

"There are two tigers. Tuantuan likes the white one, and Grandpa likes the black one." "Auntie, come watch cartoons with us too!"

Wen Lianchang couldn't stop laughing, but he didn't correct her. He just went along with it, pretending to watch cartoons with his granddaughter.

The little dumpling in her arms gesticulated excitedly, her little pigtails on top of her head bobbing along, utterly adorable. Qin Zhen liked her more and more the more she looked, but she still wouldn't stay to watch cartoons with her.

Qin Zhen gently stroked her little head: "Auntie can't watch cartoons with Tuantuan because Little Auntie is waiting for me at home."

This "Little Auntie" naturally referred to Wen Shixue.

Qin Zhen had come back to the Wen family home this time to pick up something she had left behind last time.

Wen Lianchang said, "That girl Shixue is probably being lazy at home again." He knew his daughter too well.

Qin Zhen smiled as she placed Tuantuan back beside him, not forgetting to speak well of her wife: "She was too tired from work recently, so it's good for her to rest."

"Is Mom upstairs?"

Wen Lianchang nodded: "Go up. She made clothes for you two and is waiting for you to come back and get them." "Xiao Qin, you work hard too. You don't need to keep running back and forth. Next time, you can just send someone to pick them up."

Qin Zhen softly said okay.

Tuantuan leaned against Wen Lianchang, watching her walk upstairs, then withdrew her gaze and asked, "Grandpa, is Auntie Qin Zhen leaving soon?" Wen Lianchang nodded.

Tuantuan suddenly cupped her chubby little face, lost in thought. After a moment, she looked up at the kind Wen Lianchang again and asked carefully and seriously, "Grandpa, can Tuantuan go stay at Auntie's house?"

She waved her two little hands: "Tuantuan is very good, she won't cry."

"Ah, about that..." Wen Lianchang smiled and stroked her head, "Grandpa can't decide that. Tuantuan has to ask the aunties, because that's the aunties' own home."

Upon hearing this, Tuantuan obediently nodded her head.

After Wen Shixue joined the Wen Group, the two of them moved into a new home. It was a duplex with a river view and a small garden.

The afternoon sunlight would quietly pass through the glass, falling in large patches in the living room. Everywhere you looked was filled with bright, clear light, very beautiful.

Wen Shixue was holding a bowl of washed cherries, sitting cross-legged in the brightly lit living room watching TV. Suddenly, the sound of the password being entered came from the door.

She turned her head and saw Qin Zhen entering the door holding a little girl's hand. The cherries in her hand "clunked" into the bowl.

She put down the bowl, held her forehead, and said with a solemn expression: "After all these years, you finally brought your illegitimate daughter back." "Between me and that woman, you still chose her."

"Alright, I'll pack up now and leave this house."

Qin Zhen: "..."

Was she starting again?

Body in the Wen Group, heart in the entertainment industry?

Tuantuan was confused, blinking her innocent eyes: "Little Auntie."

Wen Shixue immediately changed her expression: "Yes."

"Tuantuan, come eat cherries."

Tuantuan, with her little pigtails, ran towards her and was picked up to sit on her lap.

While eating, Tuantuan asked curiously: "Little Auntie, what did you mean just now?"

"Where are you going?"

Qin Zhen put her things on the table and calmly watched Wen Shixue, wondering how she would explain to the child. But then she saw Wen Shixue say seriously: "Little Auntie is going into Auntie Qin Zhen's heart."

Qin Zhen: "..."

She said awkwardly: "Don't say things like that to the child."

Wen Shixue immediately got excited, holding Tuantuan and talking non-stop. "Little Auntie likes your Auntie Qin Zhen the most."

"Likes her so much that I want to marry her again in the next life."

"Even if the aunties turn into stars in the sky, Little Auntie wants to be the one closest to her, sleeping together during the day and sparkling together at night."

Tuantuan held cherries in both hands, eating and nodding as if she understood, yet not quite.

Qin Zhen directly intervened to stop her, covering her mouth: "Shixue, that's enough." Wen Shixue kissed her palm, smiling softly: "Okay, okay." Qin Zhen gently and helplessly stroked her cheek.

Tuantuan suddenly asked in a sweet, childish voice: "Little Auntie, what does 'next life' mean?" "The blanket underneath?"

"How will Little Auntie go into Auntie Qin Zhen's heart? By car?" "Can Tuantuan go too?"

As everyone knows, children are walking "Why" books, so they require even more patience from adults.

Wen Shixue was very patient, but what she said was even more childish than a child.

"Next life is a riddle, Tuantuan has to find the answer herself."

"By car? No, Little Auntie goes into Auntie Qin Zhen's heart by rocket, that's faster."

"Tuantuan can't go, only Little Auntie can, because Auntie Qin Zhen's heart has a password lock, and only Little Auntie can unlock it."

After listening, Tuantuan's two big eyes became even brighter, as if the sunlight from outside had hidden inside them. A layer of admiration appeared on her little face, and she let out a cute "Ooh-wah": "Little Auntie can fly a rocket!"

Chen Wanping had taken her to watch the science channel a few times, so she had a very deep impression of that big thing that flew into the sky with fire shooting out of its bottom.

Grandma said that the people who made rockets were a group of very amazing uncles, aunties, older brothers, and older sisters.

So, Little Auntie, who can fly a rocket, must be very amazing too!

A child's logic couldn't be simpler.

Qin Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She reached out and stroked the heads of the two "children," ending this conversation full of childish fun.

She picked up the little one: "Tuantuan, it's time for your nap."

Tuantuan buried her face in her arms, showing her two pigtails: "Tuantuan doesn't want to sleep..." She asked: "Then, what does Tuantuan want to do?"

Tuantuan excitedly clenched her little fists: "I want to fly a rocket with Little Auntie!"

Qin Zhen looked at the Little Auntie who could fly a rocket.

Little Auntie silently put down the cherries and offered a life truth: "Tuantuan, take a nap, you'll have everything in your dreams."

Upon hearing this, Tuantuan's "want to play" radar immediately perked up, and she said very proactively: "Auntie, I want to sleep." She wanted to go fly a rocket in her dream!

A big pink rocket with bows!

Qin Zhen: "..."

It seemed that coaxing children required another child.

After settling Tuantuan, Qin Zhen went downstairs and said to Wen Shixue: "Tuantuan will stay here for the weekend." "I'll take her home the day after tomorrow."

Wen Shixue paused upon hearing this, turning her head to look at her blankly: "I thought she was leaving this afternoon?" "Then how can I kiss you without restraint and do this and that to you?"

Qin Zhen removed the stem, put a cherry into her mouth, and said softly: "Just one weekend, bear with it, be good."

Wen Shixue looked up towards the master bedroom upstairs, then turned her head and kissed Qin Zhen's lips, transferring the cherry from her mouth and starting to be mischievous.

Qin Zhen went out again in the afternoon, leaving the two "children" at home.

Tuantuan sat by the sofa holding a storybook and reading, while Wen Shixue flipped through emails for a while, handling work.

She found Tuantuan very easy to manage.

A child who could read by herself, didn't cry or fuss, and didn't cling to people was simply an angel descended to earth.

A thousand times better than the snotty, teary-eyed little brat she had seen outside who clung to Qin Zhen's leg and wouldn't let go.

Thinking of this, she found Tuantuan even more adorable.

She reached out and touched her pigtails: "Did our Tuantuan dream of a rocket?" Tuantuan shook her head sadly: "Dream didn't come to play with me this afternoon."

That was understandable; dreaming at noon was too tiring.

Wen Shixue pinched her little pigtails: "It's okay, there are many more dreams lined up to play with our Tuantuan later." "Tuantuan, do you want a drink?"

Tuantuan nodded happily, her soft little pigtails rubbing against her palm. She got up and walked towards the refrigerator.

Tuantuan also climbed off the sofa and hopped after her: "Little Auntie, I want orange juice!"

Xu Jianfan liked orange juice, and they always kept it at home. The father and daughter often huddled together drinking orange juice.

Wen Shixue poured her a small glass of orange juice, then took out a can of cola and said mysteriously: "Do you know what else Little Auntie can open besides a rocket?"

Tuantuan held her orange juice, looking curious: "What else?"

Wen Shixue: "I can also open cola."

With a "psst" sound, she pulled the tab on the cola can.

Tuantuan strained her neck to look at her, blinking her eyes. The next second, her eyes lit up: "Ooh-wah—"

"Little Auntie can open cola!"

"Little Auntie is so amazing!"

Wen Shixue: "..."

Wait, are you kids all this easy to fool?

Wen Shixue was amused and suddenly found her very fun.

She took her back to the sofa and sat down, picking up the remote control and asking: "Tuantuan, do you want to watch cartoons?" Tuantuan shook her head and asked: "Does Little Auntie need Tuantuan to watch cartoons with her?"

Wen Shixue raised an eyebrow, a flash of inspiration in her mind: "Little Auntie doesn't need Tuantuan to watch cartoons with her." "But I really need Tuantuan to help Little Auntie handle work."

Upon hearing this, Tuantuan's expression became even more bewildered and innocent.

So when Qin Zhen returned home, she saw Tuantuan sitting on Wen Shixue's lap, diligently facing the computer screen, while Wen Shixue was holding her, pointing at the dense text on the computer with a pen and giving her a lesson.

"Business negotiation is also a skill worth learning. By strategizing and grasping people's intentions, we can maximize our profits by getting the other party to lower the price by a few more points before finalizing the contract."

"What does 'lowering points' mean? For example, lowering by one point means lowering the price by one percent based on the original price." "Does Tuantuan understand?"

"If you understand, then come to work at the Wen Group on Monday."

Qin Zhen: "???"

She's still a child???

...

Tuantuan didn't sleep with them that night. She refused Qin Zhen's attempt to carry her back to the room with a serious little face.

She said like a little adult: "Auntie Qin Zhen, Little Auntie, you are already grown up, you can sleep by yourselves, you can't let Tuantuan accompany you anymore."

Then, wearing her little dinosaur pajamas, she climbed the stairs step by step by herself, went back to the master bedroom to sleep, leaving the two adults downstairs, like a cool little heroine.

Since it was her first time at their house, she didn't know it was their bedroom. She just had an impression after sleeping there at noon.

The two adults looked at each other, feeling helpless and amused, and could only sleep in the side bedroom.

"Let's go, Auntie Qin Zhen." Wen Shixue linked arms with Qin Zhen, saying cutely, "I can't sleep by myself, you have to stay with me."

Qin Zhen went up and settled the little dinosaur, then put her arm around Wen Shixue's waist and closed the door to the side bedroom.

...

Tuantuan saw Wen Shixue drinking cola again. At that time, Qin Zhen was in the study handling work.

As Tuantuan watched, she couldn't help but say: "Little Auntie, I want to drink cola too..."

She held out her orange juice: "I'll trade you my orange juice. My Daddy says orange juice is the best drink in the world!" Then she slyly probed: "Do you want to try it?"

Wen Shixue raised an eyebrow.

She poured Tuantuan a small half-cup of cola using a glass, not letting her drink too much, and said with a profound smile: "Tuantuan, Little Auntie will teach you a sentence. Go back and say it to Daddy."

...

On Sunday afternoon, Qin Zhen took Tuantuan to her parents' house. Tuantuan stood at the door, reluctantly waving goodbye to Auntie Qin Zhen.

Xu Jianfan held her in his arms and asked: "Baby, did you have fun staying at Little Auntie's house this time?"

Tuantuan smiled, her eyes curving: "Happy!"

She remembered Wen Shixue's instructions and called out: "Daddy." "Hmm?" Xu Jianfan responded to her.

Tuantuan stretched out her two little hands and said in a sweet, childish voice: "Coke is the best in the world!"

Xu Jianfan: "???"

Wen Shixue, you wicked cola ringleader!

Because it was summer vacation, Tuantuan had more time to play in the evening, and Jiang Manwei occasionally allowed her to stay up a little later. But today, she voluntarily brushed her teeth and washed her face at 8:30, saying she wanted to go to bed.

Before going to sleep, she even ran over in her little dinosaur pajamas and tugged at Jiang Manwei's pants: "Mommy, help me pack my schoolbag. Remember to wake me up tomorrow." "Thank you, Mommy."

The couple looked at each other, momentarily wondering if their child had forgotten that she didn't have to go to kindergarten tomorrow. Jiang Manwei squatted down and pinched her daughter's cheek: "Baby, you don't have kindergarten tomorrow."

Tuantuan nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

"But Tuantuan has to go to work tomorrow!"

The couple: "???"

Tuantuan said excitedly: "Little Auntie told me to come to work for her on Monday!"

The couple: "..."

Xu Jianfan let out a weary sigh, called Qin Zhen, and deeply expressed his simple wish.

"Qin Jie."

"Manage your wife."
