My Youth Began With Him (Web Novel)
chapter-1969

“I’m fine, Auntie. Don’t worry,” said Pudding while holding back tears. She opened the door to her room and slammed it behind her.

“Pudding, open the door. Auntie needs to talk to you.”

“Auntie, go to sleep. I’m already really tired,” Pudding refused to open the door no matter what.

Qin Ning turned around, walked downstairs, and saw Qin Chu rubbing medicine on Little Bean.

“Oh my god, did you get hit by your mom?” Qin Ning exclaimed after seeing Little Bean’s red and swollen hands.

Little Bean nodded, with tears in her eyes.

“I’m sorry, Little Bean. Your grandpa accidentally sold you guys out. I already yelled at him.” Qin Ning was just complaining to her dad about why he sold the two little ones out.

Qin Chu’s uncle was helpless too. Of course he didn’t want to get them in trouble, but his niece-in-law was too smart, and he couldn’t hide it away from her.

“We don’t blame Grandpa. Mommy is so smart, we wouldn’t have been able to keep this a secret anyways.” Little Bean was being pretty open about it.

“Big Brother, let me put the medicine on for her.” Qin Ning knelt down.

Qin Chu was rubbing medicine on Little Bean carefully.

“It’s fine. I’ll take care of it.” When it came to taking care of his daughter, he didn’t trust anyone but himself.

“Or maybe you should go check on Pudding. I think she’s in a bad mood. She was crying and went back to her room.”

“Pudding doesn’t need any comforting. She is pretty introverted and she’ll think it through herself.”

Qin Chu wasn’t worried about Pudding, but more worried about Little Bean, who got hit.

The whole family stayed up late and Little Bean was already sleepy. Qin Chu carried her back upstairs.

While he carried Little Bean back to the room, Pudding was still awake.

She sat inside the room by herself with both of her eyes red like a little rabbit.

“Pudding,” called Qin Chu.

She turned around.

“Your sister is asleep. She was hurt today, so please take good care of her, will you?” Qin Chu asked in a gentle voice.

“Okay.” Pudding nodded.

“Get some rest. We’ll be flying to Grandpa’s home tomorrow.”

“Yes, Daddy.”

“Okay, good.” Qin Chu held Pudding, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and was about to turn around and leave.

“Daddy…”

“Yes?” Qin Chu turned around and said in a low voice.

“I’m sorry for what happened today.”

“Don’t worry. You are Daddy’s daughter, so no matter what you do, Daddy will forgive you. Your Mommy loves you two a lot too. That’s why she was strict with you. Don’t blame her.”

“Mommy was right. Everything she said was right. I was too selfish. I almost caused huge trouble again, and I let Sister take the blame for me. Daddy, even I look down on myself for doing this. What Mommy said was right. I got my coolness and calmness from you, but I don’t have your sense of responsibility. I know I let you down this time.”

“No, Daddy doesn’t think that,” Qin Chu comforted Pudding in a gentle voice.

“In the future, I won’t be this naughty, ever again. I will behave better when we get back and won’t let Mommy and Daddy down again.”

Pudding thought about this for the whole night and realized a lot. It seemed like she had made up her mind to behave better.

This time, the fact that Little Bean got hit because of her was a huge deal for her and made her think hard.

“Good, Daddy is looking forward to your improved behavior.”

Afterward, Qin Chu walked out of the twins’ room and back to his room.

Once he walked in, he saw Huo Mian sitting on the bay window, wearing one of his loose white shirts and showing her smooth and white legs.

She looked sexy and different from her usual style.

What’s more, was that there was even a cigarette in her mouth.

It was only when Huo Mian was feeling extremely depressed that she smoked. Qin Chu understood her behavior.

“Honey, why are you smoking again?” Qin Chu walked over, took the cigarette, and pressed it down onto the ashtray.

“I suddenly feel like I’m a loser,” Huo Mian said with self-pity.

“Everything’s fine, why would you say that?” Qin Chu sat behind her, and he moved her shoulder over to his chest.
