Candy stared at Qin Qiao, his gaze looked like he was confused as to why Qin Qiao ended up in such a position.

Qin Qiao understood Candy’s gaze.

She narrowed her eyes at him as if saying, “You can say goodbye to your food!”

Zhan Qing pat Candy’s head as it snuggled closer into his arms to find a position he would be the most comfortable in.

“Bark bark…” Qin Qiao barked at Zhan Qing twice more.

Since she had already barked, she must be able to eat the macarons. If not, it will all be for nothing.

Right after Qin Qiao barked, Candy looked up and used the best standard and barked. It was as if he was barking to tell Qin Qiao what a bark was exactly.

Zhan Qing smirked. This little puppy was a lot stronger than his owner.

Qin Qiao smirked as well. She then threw Candy a gaze that only Candy would understand. “Since you’re spoiling my plan, you can forget about finding a mate!”

In return, Candy returned a gaze that said, “Whatever. Do you have another way apart from using this to threaten me? I despise you!”

Qin Qiao narrowed her eyes at Candy. “I don’t need to have a lot of ways as long as what I have is effective!”

On the other hand, Zhan Qing watched as Qin Qiao and Candy glared at each other. Qin Qiao had a glare on her face, and he found it rather cute.

A faint smile appeared on his lips while his patting of Candy’s head became more gentle.

Liking the pats, Candy hummed twice before he ignored Qin Qiao to enjoy the pats with his eyes closed.

Qin Qiao could smell the attractive fragrance of macarons.

She ended up laying on the coffee table and barked twice more at Zhan Qing.

This time, her barks sounded slightly weak, as if she was about to die.

“Ninth Uncle, I’m so hungry!” Qin Qiao said pitifully.

Seeing Qin Qiao act like this, Zhan Qing’s throat tightened and his fingers curled up unconsciously.

“You may eat!” Zhan Qing coughed out as he unbuttoned his shirt.

Qin Qiao instantly opened the box and threw one into her mouth. She felt so satisfied the moment she ate it.

“Xiao Old Master really likes you. He has a granddaughter and would like you to be his grandson-in-law. What do you think about it?”

Staring at Qin Qiao who was only focused on eating, Zhan Qing remembered Grandpa Xiao’s instructions and asked Qin Qiao about it.

Qin Qiao looked up at Zhan Qing, before she burped and…

She choked.

On instinct, Zhan Qing stood up with Candy in his arms to go pour a cup of water for her.

Qin Qiao drank it down in a hurry. “Thank you, Ninth Uncle…”

“Great-grandpa’s granddaughter… Do I have to call her Aunt then?”

Qin Qiao looked really blurred and innocent. Her innocent eyes were like a pair of flawless white jade.

Qin Qiao thought that she didn’t have the fortune to handle Xiao Xiaoxiao—that devil.

Zhan Qing stared at Qin Qiao and he chuckled afterward. “Yes, you have to call her aunt. So the two of you are not suitable!”

Somehow, he felt a lot more at ease now. At first, he wasn’t too willing to do what Grandpa Xiao had asked him to do, though he didn’t know why he was so unwilling either.

“Ninth Uncle, Grandma had already arranged a wedding for me. She said that the Qi family has a young miss called Qi Meiwei and they would like me to marry into the family because they don’t have a son!”

Qin Qiao said as she ate as if she didn’t care about herself marrying into the Qi family.

“Nonsense!” Zhan Qing growled out.

Qin Qiao was also part of their Zhan family. How could she marry into another family?

Qin Qiao was so shocked that she burped twice.

She hurriedly took the cup of water and drank from it.

However, her eyes were filled with gloating. She knew that Ninth Uncle would definitely be angry after he found out about this.
