Me at two years old, a queen!

Chapter 222 I'm Not a Rich Girl

Once An'an saw that an invitation was ready, she skillfully took a red banknote from the bottom hole of her golden piggy bank and stuffed it into the plastic bag next to Qin Shuo.

Seeing that Qin Shuo's plastic bag was overflowing with money, Lu Junxing, that troublesome money-grubber, actually knew how to hire someone to do the work—that was somewhat in line with his usual style—was in a good mood and didn't question it. He even let her have an extra chicken wing that evening.

Even when Junmin rushed back that night and learned of this, he was good-natured and said he would bring back some jewelry made from defective materials for the young girl to sponsor their wedding.

Lu Jing was also very concerned about his niece's career. Previously, she insisted on following Qin Shuo, and as her uncle, he couldn't easily accept the offer. Now that she was in front of him, he wasn't allowing her to use the family's resources.

How's your studio doing?

"Not bad. We've landed several big orders recently, and the studio has hired a few people to help out. We're also preparing to participate in the city's jewelry design competition!"

As Junmin ate the late-night snack Aunt Liu had made for her, she understood that her family had been subtly or overtly introducing some clients to her studio. Otherwise, given the years she had wasted, her lack of fame and strong talent, why would those wealthy women hire her to design things?

Ms. Song Yuan helped An An pack her things, then came over with An An's nanny bag and said, "That's good! Just take good care of yourself. Qin Shuo has been picking up and dropping off Yan Zhou these days. It's good that you've been busy with your career these past few years!"

Junmin, hearing her aunt's veiled words but not revealing anything about her and Qin Shuo, felt it inappropriate to bring it up again. It was her personality; even though her aunt treated her like a daughter, she couldn't bring herself to act coquettishly or whisper sweet nothings about love with Ms. Song Yuan.

An'an was very excited to learn that they were going to Zhuangzhuang's hometown to pick peaches the next day. She tugged at Lu Junxing, wanting to go back to the city to stay. Lu Junxing ignored her and sat beside her, letting her be spoiled.

When Qin Shuo came downstairs after tutoring Yanzhou, he saw Lu Junxing's smug look and, remembering his own son who always looked down on him, felt a pang of jealousy.

He rushed over and scooped the little girl up unexpectedly, then sat her on the sofa and teased her: "Come on~, say a few nice things to me, and I'll take you to pick peaches right now, any kind you like!"

An'an looked at the big face that was so close to hers, and pushed him away with a disgusted gesture: "No, you four-eyed guy~, I want to get down!"

"Okay! Say a few nice things to me, and if I'm satisfied, I'll put you down!"

"Hmph~, I don't like being told nice things,"

An'an struggled twice but couldn't break free. Then she remembered that Qin Shuo had paid her to write invitations for her that afternoon. An'an's eyes darted around, and she reached out her paw towards Qin Shuo's face:

"They're giving you money, okay? Don't you like money?"

Qin Shuo had swindled quite a bit of money from the little girl that afternoon, and wanting to know how much money this little girl had, he squeezed her chubby little hand and asked:

"Who said I like money? How much are you going to give me? Tell me, and I'll see if I'm satisfied."

Lu Junxing replied to an email, put down his tablet, and saw the little girl running over excitedly, carrying a jade ruyi: "Do you like this? This is a little cutie, but I have a big cutie too~"

When Qin Shuo saw what was in her hand, before he could even process it, he quickly reached out, afraid that she might lose her footing and the precious item would break.

"Wow~, how come you dare to play with all sorts of things? I didn't realize you were such a little rich girl at such a young age!"

An'an slapped away Qin Shuo's hand that was touching her round belly, and puffed out her cheeks, saying, "I'm not a little rich girl, I'm Little President Lu!"

Qin Shuo played with the exquisite jade ruyi in his hand, no longer arguing with the little girl. Instead, Lu Junxing pulled the little girl over and made her stand in front of him.

"Don't you treasure these sparkly things the most, and not even let me see them? Why are you so generous today, giving them all to him?"

Lu Junxing's words contained a hint of sourness that even he himself didn't realize. Qin Shuo, with his legs crossed, watched the young girl with amusement.

Seeing Lu Junxing ask this question, An'an skillfully climbed onto him, nestled in his arms, and whispered mysteriously in his ear:

"Dad~, let me tell you, my brother said I should give money to Four-Eyes so he can write something for me, and then we'll go to Four-Eyes' place tonight and steal the money back~"

As the little girl finished speaking, she giggled and covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling, completely unaware that her whisper had been overheard by the person next to her.
