Chapter 109: Prank
The night was dark. Qiu Tong instructed Ke Le and the mercenaries to carry the grains.
Song Yan saw her carrying a few bags of grains on her own. She was wiping the sweat off her face with her hand. His heart skipped a beat as he walked to her side to help.
Qiu Tong looked at him in surprise, then nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
Qiu Xingyuan pursed his thin lips, his small face filled with coldness as he stared at their backs, which looked exceptionally intimate together. He frowned as he observed.
Qiu Xingqiao pricked up his ears, wanting to eavesdrop on what Song Yan was saying to Qiu Tong. He quietly approached but accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground. The noise attracted Qiu Tong’s attention. She instinctively turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Stay there obediently and don’t move around!”
Qiu Tong instructed. When she saw Song Yan lifting a few bags of grains, she rushed over to help him.
Qiu Xingyu pouted and tugged at Qiu Xingyuan’s sleeve uneasily. “Eldest Brother, Mommy seems to really like that uncle!”
“What should we do? This uncle is getting so close to Mommy!”
The memory of Yu Ge remained like a shadow in the hearts of the children!
Qiu Xingyuan did not believe that Qiu Tong would choose her children over her boyfriend. His eyes flickered as he summoned Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu.
The three children gathered their heads together and secretly discussed their plan…
They had to chase Song Yan away!
…
At the villa, Qiu Tong placed the grains in the warehouse and brought Song Yan to the living room.
She turned around and saw Ke Le and the mercenaries sitting on the floor, exhausted from carrying the bags. She opened the refrigerator and rummaged through the simple ingredients. “Take a break. I’ll make something to eat!”
Song Yan hung his jacket on the clothes rack by the entrance and walked to the kitchen door. He asked, “Do you need my help?”
Qiu Tong shook her head and quickly heated up some oil. She pointed at the living room and said, “You can rest.”
“It’s safe here. Ke Le and Yin Hai are guarding outside. Don’t worry.”
Song Yan smiled faintly and returned to the living room to sit on the sofa. His gaze landed on the children whispering in the corner.
Qiu Xingyu stood on her tiptoes and picked up the box of biscuits. Trying to cover her actions with her small body, she clumsily pried open two halves of a biscuit.
Qiu Xingyuan rummaged through some cupboards and found some hot mustard. He squeezed out a long strip and smeared it on the biscuit before putting the two halves back together again.
Hmph! This would definitely make him cry!
Qiu Xingqiao stared at Song Yan with burning eyes. He clenched his small fists and muttered, “He better leave on his own!”
Qiu Xingyu walked over to Song Yan with small steps, her eyes fixed on the “mustard bomb”. She held out the box of biscuits to Song Yan. She said in a cute voice, “Uncle, I’ll treat you to some snacks…”
Song Yan saw through everything but did not expose her. He pointed at the television which was showing a cartoon and said, “Thank you.”
“Why don’t you sit here and we can eat together?”
Qiu Xingyu did not expect him to say that. Stunned, she turned around to look at her brother for help.
Song Yan took advantage of her distracted state to exchange the biscuits. He picked up one of the normal biscuits and opened his mouth to eat it.
Qiu Xingqiao did not see his actions but walked over to Song Yan expectantly.
He was already prepared to laugh at Song Yan’s pathetic state and embarrass him in front of Qiu Tong!
But after waiting for two minutes, there was nothing unusual with Song Yan.
Qiu Xingyu walked to Qiu Xingyu’s side in confusion. He tentatively picked up a biscuit and placed it in his mouth…
What happened? They clearly put the mustard inside!
Song Yan supported his chin with his fingers and watched with interest as Qiu Xingqiao picked up the biscuit. The smile on his lips widened.
“Ah!!”
Qiu Xingqiao’s expression changed. The mustard was so spicy that his tongue went numb. He covered his mouth and searched for milk or ice water in the living room.
Song Yan pretended to be concerned and asked, “Are you alright?”
He had stopped playing such lousy pranks since he was young!
These children wanted to play pranks on him? They were still too inexperienced!
Qiu Xingyuan shielded Qiu Xingqiao by his side and glared at Song Yan with furrowed brows. The two of them faced off.
Qiu Tong heard sounds in the kitchen and stuck her head out to ask, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing!”
“We’re playing a game…”
Qiu Xingyuan and Song Yan answered at the same time. Qiu Tong was a little puzzled and called everyone to the dining room. “Let’s eat!”
