The Beloved and Pampered Girl

“Jian, your worries are completely unnecessary, okay!” Qin Rou spoke up directly.

“How so?”

“Because even if there are other beautiful girls around, Chu Li only has eyes for you.” Zi Yan actually chimed in.

Ever since Jian Dan returned, she had very little time with Zi Yan because she and Lu Ting had been traveling around the world, almost too happy to think of home.

“Zi Yan, you haven’t been back for many days, have you? How come you’ve already started to pick up their bad habits?”

“Have I?” Zi Yan countered.

“No!” Qin Rou answered for Jian Dan.

“Humph, you just know how to bully me! I’m going to tell Uncle!”

“Jian, you haven’t even had breakfast this early in the morning, can we stop spreading dog food?” Mo Mo also joined in.

“Oh right! Haven’t had breakfast yet? What are we waiting for? Hurry up and get some!” When it came to eating, Jian Dan forgot everything else.

“Breakfast is ready, you guys just come over and eat once you’re done!” Granny knocked and came in to say.

“Thank you, Granny, we’ll come right away!” Jian Dan looked at Granny and smiled sweetly.

After they were all done, they went to the dining table and started eating the wine-sweetened glutinous rice balls Granny had handmade.

“Mmm, so delicious, it’s been so long since I last ate Granny’s handmade wine-sweetened glutinous rice balls!” Jian Dan said while eating.

“Jian, be careful not to eat your lipstick.”

“If I eat it, I eat it! I’ll just reapply it later!” Nothing could stop Jian Dan from seriously having her breakfast.

“Let Jian eat properly! After all, even if Jian doesn’t wear makeup, she’s the most beautiful in Mr. Chu’s eyes,” Shang Yujin spoke slowly.

After hearing Shang Yujin’s words, everyone present thought it made sense, so they let her be.

After finishing breakfast, Jian Dan contentedly yawned.

“Is there nothing left to do, then? Can I go back to sleep for a while?” She felt even sleepier after eating.

“No way, haven’t you seen what time it is!” Qin Rou was like a housekeeper, fussing over everything.

“Jian, just hang in there!” Xiaoting moved closer to Jian Dan.

“All right! I’ll try my best!” Jian Dan didn’t know how long she could hold on.

Time ticked away second by second, and Jian Dan sat on the bed, continuously dozing off.

Finally~ someone knocked on the door…

The knock finally woke up this sleeping beauty, “Is it Uncle?” Jian Dan was about to get out of bed but was stopped by Qin Rou.

“You can’t get out of bed now! Just stay here, good and proper!”

“How could we easily miss this rare chance to tease Chu Liyuan?”

“You dare to prank Uncle too? You really are brave!”

“What do you know? This might be the only chance we get to give Chu Liyuan a hard time, and there are no rain checks on this one!”

“Aren’t you afraid of what Uncle might…” Jian Dan deliberately trailed off.

“Why should we be scared when you are in our hands?”

“The way you speak, it’s as if I’m your hostage or something.”

“Of course not, at most you’re just a bargaining chip.”

“How did I become your bargaining chip?”

“Jian, be honest, don’t you want to see what Mr. Chu looks like when he’s embarrassed?” Mo Mo raised an eyebrow and smirked.

“Well…”

She had been married to Uncle for so long, and she hadn’t really ever seen him look embarrassed, had she?

Little devils inside Jian Dan’s heart were clamoring…

“Jian, your expression has already betrayed you!” Qin Rou threw a wet blanket over it.

Caught with her little scheme, Jian Dan laughed awkwardly…
