May The Rest Of My Life Be Sweet To You ( Machine Translation )-Chapter 8 - Chapter Eight, I'll take care of you

Gong Mochen snorted coldly, "I've taken care of you for eighteen years and it's still not enough. You still want me to take care of you for the rest of your life!"

Qin Sheng's small face darkened. "Uncle, you have no taste. Why can't I take care of you for the rest of your life? Why do you have to take care of me?"

"Little girl, I can see you have ambition! Okay then, when you can manage to take care of me, I'll marry you. Now go back to sleep," joked Gong Mochen, his tone teasing.

Qin Sheng hesitated. When she thought about it, maybe she wouldn't be able to take care of him... She would need to earn loads of money. She would need to work incredibly hard. Maybe it was a foolish suggestion.

Although Gong Mochen was the adopted son of the Qin family, he had worked hard since he was 18 years old to help build the Qin family's group. And in less than two years, he had set up his own small company with a loan, separate of the family's business.

Several years later, not only did he have a double doctorate degree, but his company was also comparable in size to the Qin family's company. Therefore, could she really earn more money than him? Could she really support him?

It seemed even more mythical than a fairy tale.

"Tsk, whatever Uncle..." uttered Qin Sheng. Maybe now was the time to change the subject? Yes, that would be for the best. "Anyway, why don't I have memories of my childhood?" When she'd thought about her uncle and his childhood, she realized that she didn't remember much from her own younger years.

Qin Sheng had quickly changed the topic. She could not continue to talk about the possibility of her taking care of her uncle. After all, she did not have the ability to earn so much money.

Gong Mochen's hand grabbed the girl's shoulder. "How can you not have memories of your childhood?"

Qin Sheng held the man's hand and felt a pain in her shoulder. "Uncle, you pinched me. I just can't think of memories. I can't remember much..."

Just then, she remembered the picture of the little girl in the Duke's wallet. She suddenly realized that she didn't know what she looked like when she was young. She could not locate her childhood memories at all.

It seemed that the beginning of her memories started when she was carried home by Gong Mochen one day.

Gong Mochen let go of her shoulder. "A person's memories of their childhood are often forgotten. Not many can remember what happened when they were young. Don't think too much into it. Go on, go and sleep well."

Gong Mochen patted the girl's shoulder and coaxed her to go back to her room, but when he looked down, he realized that she'd already fallen asleep on his arm.

He sighed helplessly and frowned . Why would Qin Sheng suddenly ask why she had no memories when she was young? Could it be that she had remembered something?

The girl slept very sweetly, but the man's frown did not loosen.

The next morning, Qin Sheng woke up, stretching and yawning widely. There was no trace of Gong Mochen by her side, but still, her nose was filled with his pleasant smell.

She took a deep breath, satisfied that she had successfully slept in his bed. Did this count as them reconciling? Had he fully forgiven her?

She climbed out of bed and had a wash, then she skipped downstairs to eat breakfast.

Gong Mochen sat at the dining table and scrolled through his phone. Seeing the girl run downstairs, he ordered the chef to prepare some breakfast.

Qin Sheng hugged the man's neck and lowered her head, wanting to kiss him. The man turned his head to avoid her, but she still managed to kiss his well-defined cheek.

"Uncle, why aren't you at work yet?" She sat down, scooped up the cream soup served by the chef, and sipped it.

"Didn't I tell you that we're going back to the Qin family's old mansion today? We'll leave after we finish eating," Gong Mochen said.

All the delicious food lost its taste in Qin Sheng's mouth, including her favorite cream soup, a bitter tang lingering on her tongue.

Regardless of whether she was willing or not, after she finished her breakfast, she was brought back to the Qin family's old mansion by Gong Mochen.

As soon as she entered the living room, Qin Sheng heard her cousin Qin Yunting's harsh voice.

"I thought it was you! Didn't you say that you wouldn't come back to the Qin family's old mansion? You said you'd rather die than come back here from what I can remember." Qin Yunting rolled her eyes at Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng's lips curved into a harmless smile. "Yes, I said I wouldn't come back to the Qin family's old mansion. But of course I would come back if I was faced with death! Do you want me to die or something?"

F*ck... Qin Yunting often dared to bully her. Let's see how far she would go...

Qin Sheng hated Qin Yunting's tacky face, which was covered in so much makeup, though she pretended that she didn't wear any.

Qin Yunting's face turned pale. In front of other people, she didn't dare to say that she hoped Qin Sheng would die, even though the girl was very unpopular with her grandparents.

"It's good that you're back... But why are you so wilful, Qin Sheng? You disappeared, causing the family's bodyguards to search for you all night. Your grandparents are not young anymore. You do realise? How are they supposed to withstand your behaviour? No matter how mischievous you are, you should know the most basic piety, right?"

The person who'd spoken was dressed in a conservative grey pant suit. Her hair was curled in big waves. From head to toe, she looked exquisite.

Qin Sheng looked up at the woman who'd spoken with a fake smile on her face. She was speechless at her b*tch of an aunt, Qin Zixian. Her aunt could always come up with a bunch of big theories and beat her down so badly. And then Qin Sheng could not find any reason to refute her claims.

So, they had been looking for her for a whole night? Seriously?

Why didn't she know that the bodyguards of the Qin family were looking for her? She was a bit worried. Why hadn't her aunt called Gong Mochen? Her aunt could be lying to make her feel even worse.

She had slept with Gong Mochen for a whole night, but she didn't hear his cell phone ring.

Perhaps her aunt had been hoping that she was lost or dead?

"Aunt is right... I'm the one who is insensible, and I'm sorry if I made my grandparents who love me so worried. I climbed out of the window in the middle of the night. But then why did you come to my room in the middle of the night to look for me? What made you do that in the first place?"

Qin Zixian's face turned pale. Of course, she wouldn't go to Qin Sheng's room in the middle of the night! She was just seizing the opportunity to teach her niece a lesson. But how was she going to explain why she went snooping in Qin Sheng's room in the middle of the night?

"Forget it, Zixian. Qin Sheng is your niece no matter what. Even if she has made a mistake, you can teach her a lesson slowly." He Fen's (Qin Sheng's Grandma) words helped her daughter out of the predicament. She didn't have to explain herself now.

Qin Sheng was pushed forward by Gong Mochen. She walked over to her grandma unwillingly. "Hello, Grandma."

This elderly lady wasn't her biological grandmother. She was the wife of her grandfather who had remarried. However, her second uncle and auntie were both born to this grandma. They were more like a family. She felt like an outsider.

He Fen nodded her old head. "Have you eaten? Nanny Zhang, is there any leftovers in the kitchen?"

Leftovers... At least they cared about her hunger.

"Thank you for thinking of me, Grandma. You guys should keep the leftovers. Uncle and I have eaten cream soup, macaroons, and black forest cake at home," Qin Sheng said loudly, as if to make a point.

She suddenly realized that there was a benefit to coming back to the old family mansion... If anyone made her unhappy, she could make them unhappy in return! How devious of her! Ha! Ha! Ha!

He Fen's face was tense. "You might've eaten, but I still want the chef to cook for you. You guys are going to school tomorrow, right?"

"Yunting, go and help your cousin with her homework. It's going to be the college entrance exam soon. No matter what, our family can't have people who can't get into university. Our family is a prestigious family, after all!"

Qin Yunting immediately became energetic. She stood up and walked towards Qin Sheng. "Let's go, I'll help you with your homework, hehe! Don't you know there's still time for me to help you?"

Qin Zixian walked over and held Gong Mochen's arm. "Third brother, let's go to work. Dad told me that you promised to let me be your secretary."

Qin Sheng turned to look at her aunt, surprised. She was going to be Gong Mochen's secretary?

She was furious, her eyes burned with anger. "Uncle..."
