Author: The first love of a rainy dayMachine Translation
Gong Mochen's eyes focused on the little vixen beside him, who had an innocent look of concern on her face.
Qin Zixian also noticed Gong Mochen's change in behaviour. "Yes, third brother, why is your face so red, and are you sweating?"
"The room is a little stuffy and the weather is hot. I'll just take off my blazer." Gong Mochen stood up as he spoke, taking off his blazer and kicking Qin Sheng's little feet away.
Qin Zixian took the man's blazer and handed it to the servant beside her. Was it really hot today? The air conditioning made the room feel cool. Strange...
"Third brother, eat this. I asked them to make it for you." She scooped out a bowl of soup for the man.
"Qin Sheng, you must eat too." Qin Yunting gave Qin Sheng some food in a rough manner. She didn't give Qin Sheng the soup, but bitter melons. It was a large pile of dark green bitter melons... What was she trying to say? Was she trying to get her own back?
She looked at Qin Sheng with a false smile. Qin Sheng had eaten her snacks, and she hadn't vented her anger yet!
"My Yunting is very sensible and knows how to take care of our cousin." Zheng Min seized the opportunity and praised her daughter in front of Qin Ze.
Qin Sheng's brows furrowed. She had never been picky about her food, but there was one thing that she really did not like to eat... bitter melon. The plate of bitter melons was only served with fried shrimp by Qin Yunting. It was clear that she was deliberately looking to cause trouble.
Qin Yunting said, "Eh, Qin Sheng, why aren't you eating? Are you still angry with me? For goodness sake... I locked you in the study for the sake of your studies! Grandma, I don't care about Qin Sheng anymore. Look at her holding a grudge against me!"
Qin Sheng closed her eyes. Gosh, she hadn't even said a word to her cousin... Qin Yunting had obviously acted out the scene for their grandparent's attention. She clearly wanted to receive their praise, get them on her side. Qin Sheng sighed deeply.
Qin Sheng prodded a piece of bitter melon with her chopstick. "I should really hate you for locking me in the study, but I don't... But if Cousin locks me in again, I don't think I'll come out." She was still full from the snacks she'd chomped on earlier and pushed the bowl away. "I'm feeling full now, that's why I'm not going to eat anymore."
Qin Yunting almost spat out her food at Qin Sheng's remarks. No wonder she was still full! She'd eaten every single one of her snacks... That damned Qin Sheng! She always liked to cause trouble. She was an attention seeker.
Qin Zixian looked like a saintess. "Our Qin family never leaves leftovers! We are a civilised family."
She picked up a bitter melon and ate it elegantly.
Qin Sheng lowered her eyes. Qin Zixian was obviously scolding her for not being worthy of being a part of the Qin family. She had never cared about Qin Sheng!
Qin Sheng raised her hand and picked up the bitter melon in her bowl and gave it to Gong Mochen. She blinked her big eyes, looking as cute as ever.
"Uncle, I'll give you your favorite bitter melon..."
Gong Mochen glared at the little girl, always acting cute in front of him. Did she just kick him again?
They'd eaten and slept together for 18 years now, and after being together for that long, their tastes were strangely similar. She didn't like to eat things that he didn't like.
Gong Mochen picked up the half-eaten bitter melon and ate it.
Qin Zixian looked at Gong Mochen in surprise. She remembered that when they'd ordered lunch at noon, Nie Feng had told her that Gong Mochen didn't have any dislikes other than bitter melon.
"Qin Sheng, you can be so unruly at times! Why did you give third brother your leftovers? You're very disrespectful." Qin Zixian's tone carried her anger. How could Gong Mochen eat Qin Sheng's half-eaten bitter melon? His lips had touched where her lips had been. It disgusted her.
Qin Sheng's lips curved into a crescent moon. "Auntie, I know we are such a well-bred family, but I want to respect my elders. Little Uncle loves to eat bitter melons, and cousin gave me almost all the bitter melons on the plate. How could I eat them all by myself? Of course I have to show respect to little Uncle and give him some. Uncle, don't you think so?"
Gong Mochen's face turned green from eating the bitter melons. Damn that little vixen for her trickery! But he had to continue with the charade, make out that he liked the bitter melons, or else Qin Sheng could be punished by the family.
"Well, my niece is very respectful towards me. I thank her for that. At least I didn't raise her for so many years in vain."
"Little Uncle, you flatter me! Please, eat more." Qin Sheng smiled evilly and picked up the bitter melons on the plate for Gong Mochen to eat. She was loving this!
Gong Mochen picked up the last of the bitter melons and gave it to Qin Sheng. "Good niece, your heart aches when you see me eat all the bitter melons, right? Little Uncle left one for you."
He Fed the bitter melon to Qin Sheng. 'Let's see if she still dares to cause trouble now!' he thought, grinning to himself.
Qin Zixian's eyebrows were almost raised to her hairline. Gong Mochen had fed Qin Sheng the bitter melon as if she were a goodness... Her hand almost broke the chopsticks.
The melon was so bitter on Qin Sheng's tongue. It was that bitter it almost made her cry. After this lesson, she didn't dare to kick Gong Mochen anymore.
Qin Sheng wanted to throw up after the meal. Nothing could remove the bitter taste in her mouth.
Gong Mochen got up and went back to his bedroom to take a shower. His mind was filled with the Qin Sheng's aggrieved look while eating the bitter melon.
Qin Sheng quietly slipped into Gong Mochen's room. Her mouth was still full of bitterness. She wanted to settle the score with her uncle.
Suddenly, the bathroom door was pushed open and the man walked out. His hand, which was holding a towel to dry his hair, stopped.
"Why are you here? Go to your own room!" Gong Mochen lowered his voice.
Qin Sheng stood in front of the man and said, "Why did you feed me that bitter melon when you know I hate them? My mouth is full of bitterness now. You bully me so! You have to be responsible!"
Qin Sheng grabbed the man's hand and shook his arm.
Gong Mochen looked down at the girl. "If your mouth is bitter, go eat some candy, or a mint!'
"No, eating candy makes you fat. But I heard a kiss can make it better..." Qin Sheng raised her head and pouted.
"I ate more of the bitter melon than you did! If I kiss you, you will suffer even more. Now go back to your room!" Gong Mochen ordered.
Qin Sheng stood on her tiptoes and hooked her arms around the man's neck. "Then I will help to relieve your pain!"
