Chapter 77 : Mr. is so fierce

Fu Sichan took a deep breath, his forehead twitching with veins.

The little girl was naturally clueless, irritating without even realizing it.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t do anything about it and had to stew in his own frustration.

Fortunately, Assistant Wang, skilled in reading the room, promptly diffused the awkward situation.

“Miss Mu, this is chocolate that Mr. Fu had specially brought back from Switzerland. Please try it.”

Mu Qianqian, a self-confessed foodie, immediately shifted her focus.

She tried a piece, and the chocolate was smooth and rich, far better than what she’d had from the supermarket.

If Mu Qianqian’s eyes were restored, she’d see that each piece of chocolate had a unique code behind it, making each one truly special.

“So sweet, thank you, Mr.”

Mu Qianqian loved all sorts of sweets and squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

After she had just two pieces, Fu Sichan took her hand and retrieved the remaining chocolates.

“Alright, no more. Just two pieces a day.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Qianqian’s brow immediately furrowed.

Mr. could have told her the rules from the start, so she could have eaten more slowly and extended the enjoyment.

But he chose to wait until she finished eating to say this, as if he was deliberately making things difficult for her.

She hadn’t done anything wrong or said anything wrong, after all.

“Mr, can I have one more piece? Just one.”

Fu Sichan coldly refused, “No. Eating too many sweets can lead to cavities.”

Mu Qianqian huffed softly and said, “Mr. are you worried I’ll gain weight from eating too many sweets?”

Fu Sichan couldn’t help but chuckle, “No.”

The little girl’s imagination was boundless, she always came up with unexpected thoughts.

Mu Qianqian mumbled to herself, “Definitely.”

She pinched her soft belly, noticing that she had gained quite a bit of weight recently compared to before.

A deep frown appeared on her face.

Could it be… that she was indeed gaining weight? Is that why Mr started paying attention to her figure?

Would this make Mr dislike her?

Fu Sichan said calmly, “Your body’s nutritional needs haven’t been met yet. It’s too early to worry about your figure.”

Mu Qianqian was still a bit troubled.

“Mr, do you prefer someone slimmer or a bit chubbier?”

This question stumped Fu Sichan.

He didn’t have a preference.

He wasn’t interested in women.

However, being unable to avoid Mu Qianqian’s persistence, Fu Sichan had no choice but to give her the chocolate back.

“Alright, you can have one more piece. But starting tomorrow, you can only have two pieces a day, no more.”

“Thank you, Mr!”

Mu Qianqian unwrapped a new piece of chocolate and took small, savoring bites.

After finishing one piece, she unwrapped another.

Fu Sichan was about to lecture her, but just as he opened his mouth, a sweet piece of chocolate was stuffed into it.

The rich cocoa flavor melted on his tongue, with a slight bitterness but mostly sweetness.

“I didn’t eat too much. This piece is for you, Mr.”

Mu Qianqian sat in her seat, swinging her legs like a happy schoolgirl.

Assistant Wang, sitting in the front, was astonished, his mouth hanging open.

Mr. Fu always hated sweets, yet Miss Mu had boldly given him chocolate.

This could be disastrous, Mr. Fu was sure to spit it out.

To avoid the impending embarrassment, Assistant Wang quickly considered possible strategies in his mind.

What he didn’t expect was that Mr. Fu, besides frowning at first, did not make any other move.

He did not spit out the chocolate.

Could Mr. Fu now tolerate sweets? But there hadn’t been any such news from the life secretary.

Assistant Wang’s inner turmoil was completely unknown to Fu Sichan.

Fu Sichan, feeling the unfamiliar sweetness on his tongue, was torn between eating it and spitting it out.

But as time passed, the chocolate melted faster and faster, so quickly that he couldn’t reject it, and the sweetness flowed straight into his heart.

“Is it good?” Mu Qianqian smiled brightly, asking with a sense of accomplishment.

Fu Sichan’s face darkened. He gave her a light tap on the head and coldly reprimanded her:

“Don’t do this again. Don’t feed me random things.”

Mu Qianqian covered her forehead, pouting, and said pitifully, “Mr, you’re so fierce.”

The girl’s eyes were watery, like polished obsidian, both bright and clear.

When she acted coquettishly, she easily reminded people of soft, harmless little animals, making it hard not to feel tender-hearted.

Even Fu Sichan was no exception.

“I won’t give you any extra homework today, so you can rest well.”

“Okay!”

Mu Qianqian’s expression changed from cloudy to sunny in an instant.

She rolled down the car window, enjoyed the breeze, and started humming a cheerful song.

Fu Sichan couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips.

The little girl was indeed easy to please.

……

Li Siyu called, “Qianqian, do you remember the beauty from the neighboring department, Liu Xi?”

“I remember her. Why?”

Mu Qianqian sat on the sofa, hugging a throw pillow and watching TV.

Even though she couldn’t see the scenes, she could get a general idea of the plot just from the sounds.

“It seems like she’s reconciled with Feng Song again and has been posting a lot of sarcastic comments on her Moments and forums,” Li Siyu said.

Mu Qianqian asked, “What did she say?”

“I’ll read it to you, ‘People who truly love each other will eventually end up together. Even if there are some ill-intentioned people along the way, the outcome will always be good.’”

“And there’s this one, ‘My relationship with Song is very good. Thanks to everyone for your concern. To those who want to dig a hole, please respect yourselves. It’s better for girls to have a bit more self-respect and self-love.’”

Mu Qianqian listened and felt that something was off, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.

“This one is the worst,” Li Siyu said with a hint of anger in her voice. “She actually posted a selfie of herself wearing sunglasses. Then she said that she has good eyes and wouldn’t steal anyone’s boyfriend, unlike some people…”

It was clear who she was hinting at. Everyone at school knew that Mu Qianqian, as a top student, had poor eyesight and often wore sunglasses.

Mu Qianqian finally realized that Liu Xi was being sarcastic towards her.

Li Siyu mocked, “This person is really ridiculous. I heard she wasn’t won back by a bowl of soy milk this time, but by half a bottle of mineral water.”

“Huh? How does mineral water win someone back?”

“She went to watch Feng Song play basketball, and Feng Song handed her the half bottle of mineral water he hadn’t finished. She drank it sweetly and then agreed to reconcile with him.”

Mu Qianqian couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh after hearing this.

“It’s actually like this. It’s even funnier than the TV dramas I watch. At least in the dramas, there’s always a bowl of congee made personally by the male lead.”

Li Siyu, who was always sharp-tongued, said, “Isn’t it? Such a love-struck person still has the nerve to mock others? If she wants to see a joke, she should just look in the mirror.”

“Oh, by the way, Qianqian, the school is holding a campus beauty contest. Do you want to participate?”
