Chapter 347: Chapter 347 The Three of Us Are Family (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)

Yu Qiao Qiao still didn’t know that her "secret" was about to be exposed.

She was still looking up with naive eyes, looking perplexedly toward Chen Yan above her head and said softly, "I... haven’t been dieting?"

"You haven’t been dieting?" Now it was Chen Yan’s turn to be surprised.

He looked at Yu Qiao Qiao’s expression and felt that her expression didn’t seem to be feigned.

Suddenly, he felt that things were starting to get interesting.

Because if he had only encountered Yu Qiao Qiao digging up small plants today, he could say that Yu Qiao Qiao had picked up a new hobby.

But if he also considered what Zhao Ying had said about "picking up plastic bottles," "digging up plants by the roadside," and "going to a distant market to buy cheap vegetables," then it became inexplicable.

The common point of these activities was only one: Yu Qiao Qiao was saving money.

Chen Yan had considered, while analyzing the situation, that maybe Yu Qiao Qiao grew up in an orphanage and thus was now very frugal.

But this thought was dismissed as soon as it emerged.

It wasn’t that Yu Qiao Qiao wasn’t frugal, but rather that she hadn’t been to this extent before.

When Chen Yan first came to live here, although Yu Qiao Qiao was also economical, she would still buy what was needed. For example, she would buy some very cheap and affordable potted plants online for three or four dollars.

And when buying vegetables, she would also try to buy some of the hard dishes that Chen Yan liked to eat.

But now, it was completely different.

Before, Chen Yan had believed Zhao Ying’s skewed logic because he really felt there was no other possibility. That’s why he believed it.

Now, seeing Yu Qiao Qiao’s denial, Chen Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He reached out and turned off the stove fire, and amidst Yu Qiao Qiao’s exclamation, he twisted her body toward himself, then looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "Then what have you been doing recently?"

Seeing how serious Chen Yan looked, Yu Qiao Qiao was startled. A hint of panic flashed through her big eyes, and she had an ominous premonition. With an aggrieved look, she looked at Chen Yan and asked timidly, "What do you mean, what I’ve been doing..."

Chen Yan looked at her and said, "Just the things you’ve been doing recently."

"Picking up plastic bottles, digging up little plants. Going to a distant market to buy very cheap vegetables."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao’s face suddenly became unnatural. She lowered her head and said softly, "I, I just like it."

Seeing the look on Yu Qiao Qiao’s face, if Chen Yan still didn’t sense that something was up, that would really be strange.

So he didn’t hesitate to activate "Headphones" to probe the truth.

The surrounding environment gradually receded, leaving only the "thump thump, thump thump..." of Yu Qiao Qiao’s heartbeat resonating in Chen Yan’s ears.

Compared to Yu Qiao Qiao’s usually quiet and steady heartbeat, this time her heartbeat was much faster, clearly showing her unease.

Perhaps because Chen Yan was probing this matter, Yu Qiao Qiao was constantly speaking about recent events in her heart.

Listening to Yu Qiao Qiao’s inner voice, Chen Yan finally understood the whole story, and his expression became increasingly solemn.

Perhaps after "lying," Yu Qiao Qiao hadn’t heard Chen Yan’s response, so she couldn’t help but timidly raise her head to take a look at Chen Yan.

The moment she did so, her gaze met Chen Yan’s.

At that moment, she felt as if she were standing naked in front of Chen Yan, her whole self, both her body and her secrets, was laid bare.

Startled, she hurriedly tried to look down.

But before she could lower her head, Chen Yan pinched her chin.

Feeling the gentle yet undeniable strength of Chen Yan’s hand, Yu Qiao Qiao was forced to raise her head and meet Chen Yan’s gaze.

At this time, Chen Yan also emerged from the "Headphones" state. The ambient sound of the surroundings gradually faded as Chen Yan, pinching Yu Qiao Qiao’s chin, stared at her without saying a word.

Seeing Chen Yan’s grim expression, Yu Qiao Qiao somehow felt as though Chen Yan knew everything.

She didn’t dare to struggle but could only try to lean back a bit, dodging Chen Yan’s piercing gaze, and then said weakly and softly, "Don’t be angry, please..."

Chen Yan "hmphed," let go of Yu Qiao Qiao’s chin, and said coldly, "I’ll give you another chance. Start over and tell me what happened."

Seeing Chen Yan really angry, Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t dare to hide anything anymore. She lowered her head, her small hands fiddling with her apron helplessly, twisting it pitifully, and said, "We, we’re out of money. That’s why I’ve been trying to save some money."

"Don’t be mad, okay? I’ll work harder to earn some money, so you can eat better..."

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s words, Chen Yan was really a bit angry, and his voice grew louder involuntarily. "Am I angry because the food you make isn’t good!"

"I’m angry because you didn’t tell me when you had no money!"

"And, what about the money I gave you? That much money! You don’t spend it, are you saving it for having kids?!"

Startled by Chen Yan’s outburst, Yu Qiao Qiao immediately pouted, and tears "plop plop" began to fall. She looked as aggrieved as an abandoned child but dared not retort.

Just standing there with her head down, not daring to speak, just ceaselessly crying.

Chen Yan felt his heart almost break seeing her like this. But as he knew Yu Qiao Qiao, if he didn’t speak more harshly this time, she would still do the same in a similar situation in the future, and she would continue to aggrieve herself.

So, he had no choice but to keep a cold face and pretended to be impatient as he said, "Enough, stop crying."

After hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao dared not cry anymore.

However, stopping crying wasn’t something she could simply do at will.

So she struggled to stop for a long time without success, only to continue crying fearfully while covering her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from making any noise and bothering Chen Yan.

Seeing her pitiful state, Chen Yan sighed inwardly, no longer willing to keep up the act.

He tried to make his voice as gentle as possible and asked, "You were planning to save this money for me, for emergencies, right?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao quickly nodded her head in grievance.

Chen Yan sighed, placed his hands on her shoulders, and said, "I understand you saving money, but you can’t take all the pressure on your own shoulders, you know?"

Yu Qiao Qiao raised her head, her eyes misty with tears as she looked at Chen Yan, a bit puzzled.

Chen Yan gently lifted her chin, allowing her eyes to look directly into his, and then countered, "We’re family, right?"

Yu Qiao Qiao nodded with tears brimming in her eyes.

After nodding, she weakly added, "Mhm... right, you, me, and Brother Ying."

Chen Yan’s expression froze. How did an extra oddball get into the family?

But never mind, it didn’t make sense to fuss over it at a time like this. freёweɓnovel.com

So he said, "Right. Since we’re all family, we should confront difficulties together."

"It shouldn’t all be up to you alone."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao looked at him with slightly swollen eyes, and said in a low voice, "But I said I would take care of you."

Chen Yan didn’t say anything, just slowly lowered his head and then pressed his lips onto Yu Qiao Qiao’s.

In that instant, Yu Qiao Qiao felt a "whoosh!" and her mind went blank.

The only thought in her silly little head was: Weren’t we just talking about the matter... why suddenly kiss me...

But that thought lasted less than 0.1 seconds before she was enveloped in Chen Yan’s sweet assault. She couldn’t help but close her eyes and responded with her soft little tongue.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, it felt like a century to Yu Qiao Qiao.

Just as she was about to forget the real world, suddenly she felt the warmth leave her.

Moments later, all that remained by her ears was Chen Yan’s low and husky notification, "I’m not discussing this with you. I’m informing you."

"From now on, tell me about any difficulties you face."

"This time, I’ll let you off, but I will give you 6000 yuan every month as a family fund, and you can consider your own salary as pocket money."

Yu Qiao Qiao opened her eyes in confusion, only to see Chen Yan walking out.

She weakly wanted to protest.

She wanted to say 6000 yuan was too much, she wanted to say she could really take care of Chen Yan and Zhao Ying...

But before she could speak, she saw Chen Yan suddenly turn around and point at her, "Don’t make this kind of mistake again, or I’ll be even angrier than today."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao instinctively recalled the "fierce" look on Chen Yan’s face from earlier, and she immediately did not dare to say a word...

After all, she had never seen Chen Yan get that angry before.

In an instant, a thought was etched into Yu Qiao Qiao’s small heart: In the future, she must tell Chen Yan about anything... otherwise, he will get angry.

Seeing his goal achieved, Chen Yan nodded slightly, feeling that it hadn’t been in vain for him to play the "bad guy" for once.

With that thought, he pushed the door open, wanting to go out and get some fresh air.

After all, with the doors and windows shut, the kitchen felt rather stuffy.

Then, who could have known, just as he opened the door and stepped out, suddenly a sack fell from the sky, covering his head immediately...
