Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Is He Lacking Money?

"Mommy is so busy working to make a lot of money for me that she fell asleep exhausted from overtime," Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling said, "And I didn’t run away from home; I simply went out to find Mommy a handsome daddy. I can come back home on my own!"

Ji Xingyao said this as if to prove she really wasn’t running away from home. She stretched out her hand to show the sleeve of her clothing, revealing a child’s watch on her wrist.

Her beautiful big eyes narrowed, smiling like a little fox, "And I have this."

"What is that?" Qin Morui saw the flashing red and green lights on the watch face, curious to touch it.

Before he could touch the watch, Ji Xingyao had already blocked the face, "This is a GPS tracker. As soon as I leave the house, it turns on automatically so Mommy can know where I am, so she won’t worry about me getting lost."

After saying this, she even demonstrated some hidden features of the watch to Qin Morui.

If she ran into a bad person, it could also be used to send an alarm and for escape.

Seeing Qin Morui was mesmerized by the multifunctional watch on her hand, staring without blinking, she added, "Mommy and Uncle Leng had this specially made for me; it’s the only one like it in the world. Mommy really loves me."

Qin Morui was dazzled by the watch that seemed so ordinary at first, and upon hearing it was custom made for her by her mother, he envied her genuine affection, "I wish I had a mommy like that too."

"If you like, I could ask my mommy to make one for you too... but you have to pay for it, Uncle Leng said that this watch is very, very expensive!" Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling emphasized the last part of her statement.

Did Qin Morui lack money?

No, what he lacked was a mother!

Maybe it was because he was born into a "hi-tech family," or maybe little boys are naturally interested in cool gadgets.

After eating his fill, Qin Morui stuck close to Ji Xingyao, wanting to borrow her watch to play with. Just as they reached the door to the guest room, Qin Nanyu snagged his collar and threw him out, closing the door without mercy...

In the room, the nanny carried Ji Xingyao, who was freshly bathed and changed, out of the bathroom.

"Young Master Yu, I’ve dried Little Miss’s hair. I’m going to get her a cup of milk," the nanny said as she placed the child on the bed and left the room.

Ji Xingyao picked a cat-shaped doll from the pile of toys, hugged it under the covers, then looked at Qin Nanyu beside her with a face full of anticipation.

And in Qin Nanyu’s hand was a children’s fairy tale book—the likes of which he’d never touched in his life.

A bride mounting her bridal sedán chair for the first time!

Seeing those big eyes on the child’s bed, filled with hopeful light, he was as nervous as if he were about to face a hundred billion dollar collaboration.

He managed to find his voice, coughed lightly to calm his nerves, and asked, "Yaoyao, what story would you like to hear?"

"As long as daddy tells it, I’ll like any story!" Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling was very encouraging.

Hearing this, Qin Nanyu felt both consoled and heartbroken.

Thinking she may never have had her father read her a bedtime story, a sudden pang of pain shot through Qin Nanyu’s heart. He opened the first page of the storybook and, with his deep magnetic voice, awkwardly began to read the first story.

He’d been worried that his poor storytelling would scare her and prevent her from sleeping, but before he could even finish one story, the corner of his eye caught sight of Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling inside the covers, sweetly asleep.
