Chapter 698: Chapter 698: Cute

Yue Qingqing hesitated for a moment before she realized what was happening, and her first reaction was to look around like a thief.

Noticing that everyone’s attention was focused on the TV, she lowered her voice and quietly asked, "You came?"

Jiang Jingze laughed softly, and Yue Qingqing felt as if the laugh was like a little hook, making her want to peek outside through the window.

"Wait for me a moment."

Yue Qingqing hung up the phone, pondering what excuse she could use to go outside.

Now that the restrooms were inside the house, the excuse of going outside to relieve herself would definitely not work.

Stick window decals?

Those had already been applied at home, plus who would do that in the middle of the night.

Yue Qingqing sat restlessly, thinking hard for a long time, but unfortunately, she wasn’t good at lying and couldn’t find an excuse for a long while.

The cold winter wind with its icy snow frosted the glass, and Yue Qingqing worried Jiang Jingze might freeze into a snowman outside.

Finally, she mustered the courage.

"I, I want to go out and set off fireworks."

Actually, since she had picked up the phone, although everyone seemed to be watching the TV, they were all actually listening attentively.

Particularly Zhang Ying and Yue Jiandong, this pair of parents, had their ears pricked up like antennas.

Unfortunately, the phone Zhou Yiran had bought her was the latest model and no longer had the old issue of leaking sound.

But from Yue Qingqing’s behavior afterward, how could they not guess? After all, they had been there themselves.

Yue Jiandong immediately frowned, "Set off the fireworks after midnight. Why the rush now, there’s still a sketch show on TV."

Yue Qingqing stuttered, "I can’t wait, I’ll start with some first... "

Yue Jiandong was about to say something harshly when Zhang Ying pinched him.

"It’s the New Year, put on a happy face."

Yue Jiandong was furious, how could he be happy when his daughter was about to be taken away?

Lin Chunju said meaningfully, "She’s all grown up now, it’s good enough that she informs you before doing something, besides, it’s just outside the door, what’s there to worry about?"

Yue Jiannan laughed as well, "Exactly, what can go wrong with setting off fireworks?"

Yue Xiaofang grabbed a handful of candy and seeds from the table and put them in Yue Qingqing’s pockets.

"Eat these while you’re out setting off fireworks."

Seeing that the situation was out of his control, Yue Jiandong could only glare and say, "Come back right after, you hear?"

Feeling like she had been granted amnesty, Yue Qingqing quickly ran out with several tubular fireworks.

Yue Xiaohu, confused, stood up intending to follow.

"Sister Qingqing, I’ll join you. You stand behind me."

He had only taken a few steps when Yue Xingxing grabbed him.

"Why are you joining in the fun? The next show is an acrobatic act, aren’t you watching?"

Yue Xiaohu, who enjoyed watching the acrobatic acts the most during the gala, quickly sat back down and stared intently at the TV.

Yue Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and wrapped in her coat, stepped out the door.

As expected, Jiang Jingze was standing at the doorway, clad in a camel-colored coat, looking like a striking figure against the snowy backdrop, with none of his previous aloofness, just warmth.

Seeing Jiang Jingze at such a time was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

Yue Qingqing ran up to him, leaving a trail of footprints in the snow.

As she got closer, she hesitated, afraid to bump into him.

Jiang Jingze looked slightly regretful.

"Why did you bring out the fireworks?" he asked, taking the items from Yue Qingqing’s arms with interest and examining them.

Yue Qingqing whispered to him, "I made up an excuse about setting off fireworks to sneak out, my family doesn’t know."

Jiang Jingze thought of something, and his smile deepened.

"Qingqing..."

"Hmm?" she lifted her head, puzzled, feeling a cool touch on her forehead,

Jiang Jingze’s fingertips lightly tapped the girl’s forehead, then traced her nose gently.

It was like a spark of electricity that made Yue Qingqing involuntarily shiver.

Eventually, Jiang Jingze’s fingers settled on her chin, gently stroking and causing Yue Qingqing to unconsciously lift her chin.

Just as Yue Qingqing was about to speak, Jiang Jingze leaned down and kissed the spot his fingertips had just touched on her forehead.

"You are really adorable."

Despite being such a smart girl, sometimes she acted so naively adorable that he couldn’t help but feel waves of joy from the bottom of his heart.
