My Youth Began With Him (Web Novel)
chapter-1959

“Um, I’m busy and might not have time to go back…” Qin Ning replied gently.

“Auntie, are you really going to say ‘no’ to Handsome Su?” Pudding began egging Qin Ning on.

“You little brat… can you behave?”

“Were you serious about what you told me before?”

“What did I say?” Qin Ning asked in surprise.

“You said that Handsome Su is really good looking…” Pudding replied, her face as innocent as could be.

“Ahem… what are you talking about, Pudding?” Qin Ning coughed; too embarrassed to look at Su Yu.

“Don’t be shy, Auntie. You’re an adult, okay?”

“What do you know, Qin Zhaozhao? One more word out of you and I’m going to have a long talk with Mommy tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Pudding immediately shut up. She turned her head towards the phone. “That’s it, Handsome Su, we’ll see you soon!”

“Okay, come back soon. Your great-grandpa really misses you guys!” Su Yu replied, his expression filled with nothing but adoration.

After hanging up, Qin Ning immediately picked Pudding up and placed her on the bed. “Pudding, that was a trap! It was so awkward, I felt so embarrassed… I wasn’t wearing makeup and my eyes were red-shot. It must’ve scared Su Yu…”

“You’re really pretty, Auntie, you need to be confident in yourself.”

“Forget it, I’m not letting you off so easily. Save your sweet talk for your mommy.”

Pudding immediately admitted defeat. “We’re sorry, Auntie, what we did was wrong.”

“And?”

“So we’d like to apologize,” Pudding said with puppy-dog eyes.

“Is that all? You guys almost scared me and your grandpa to death!”

“But we didn’t run away to play, we were out buying a present for Handsome Su… please don’t tell Mommy, okay Auntie? We’ll never run away again.”

“No, you have to learn your lesson.” Qin Ning was resolute.

“We’re screwed if Mommy finds out… last time she grounded me in our warehouse, it was so dark and humid in there, I was so scared… Please, Auntie, don’t do this to me, okay?” Pudding said as she looked at Qin Ning with tears in her eyes, shaking her hand back and forth.

As expected, Qin Ning began to waver.

“Auntie, we know you were really worried about us, that’s why you’re so mad. We promise to never make you worry again, okay?”

“But you guys really went too far today.”

“That’s why we’re apologizing, didn’t you make mistakes when you were young? We’re still children… isn’t it normal to do something wrong once in a while? You shouldn’t ask too much of us, Auntie… we become sad whenever Mommy scolds us, if she gets mad this time, it’ll end the vacation badly. Will it really be worth it? This might be our only visit in years…” Pudding pouted.

“Um, okay, you little devil… you perfectly brainwashed me. I won’t tell your mommy, okay? I can’t promise the same for your grandpa though.”

“Don’t worry, Little Bean can deal with Grandpa…” Pudding beamed.

Qin Ning: “How can you be so manipulative at such a young age! I wonder who has the guts to marry you when you grow up.”

“You should really worry about yourself, Auntie. After all, you’re not a young woman anymore…”

Then, Pudding skipped downstairs, leaving Qin Ning looking particularly disgruntled.

That evening, Qin Chu and Huo Mian arrived in LA.

“Hi, Uncle Qin!” Huo Mian greeted Qin Chu’s uncle with a giant smile as soon as she walked into the mansion.

“You haven’t changed at all, child,” Uncle Qin exclaimed.

“Uncle Qin, where are my daughters?” Qin Chu began looking for the twins before he even took his shoes off.
