Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids
Chapter 486: Candy: My Red Envelope Is Gone
"What’s going on? Why are you crying?"
Mo Jingchun looked at Candy who suddenly burst into tears, utterly baffled.
Those tears flowed like they were free of charge.
If Candy knew what Mo Jingchun was thinking at that moment, she would definitely cry and say that these tears were bought with money.
Sitting next to her, Li Xuanyu rolled her eyes at Mo Jingchun. A child crying must have a reason.
Otherwise, how could a naturally playful little cutie suddenly start crying?
Especially such an obedient and adorable Little Candy.
In Li Xuanyu’s impression, the little one hardly ever cried.
Otherwise, those teachers at school wouldn’t have been so tolerant of a little one disrupting class.
If someone causes a disturbance in class, any teacher would feel uncomfortable.
The difference is that some teachers would give a reminder, while others might just frown at the time and report it to the counselor afterward.
"Candy, what’s wrong?" Li Xuanyu asked gently, making the little one immediately look at her.
"Wah wah wah~ Red packet~"
"Guoguo’s red packet is gone~"
"Wah wah wah~"
Watching his sister’s pitiful expression, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but find it amusing despite the headache.
He told her to leave it with him for safekeeping, but she didn’t trust him.
Now look what happened; there’s not even a cent left from the hundred.
"Alright, alright, don’t cry. When New Year comes, brother will give you a big red packet to celebrate the new year."
Hearing Mo Jingchun say that, Li Xuanyu covered her mouth, laughing:
"At that time, sister will give you a red packet too."
The little one briefly stopped crying and looked at her brother, then turned to her sister.
The next second, she couldn’t hold back her tears again.
"Wah wah wah~ It’s not the same. After New Year, the money from the red packets will all be taken by brother."
"All that’s left for Guoguo is just a worthless card."
Worthless card? Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
That’s a no-limit black card. As long as your brother’s company doesn’t crash and burn, you can keep using it.
Besides, he did put the red packet money on this bank card.
What was going on today? Could it be that receiving a bouquet from the sky used up all her luck today, causing the red packet to get lost?
Otherwise, with Candy’s luck, how could the red packet disappear? Plus, the dozen or so bodyguards constantly around her didn’t even notice.
It all seemed to have an air of mysticism.
Seeing his sister still crying, with even Li Xuanyu unable to soothe her, Mo Jingchun felt a bit helpless. Being cute is one thing, but how is she also a little drama queen?
Those tears can stop when they want and flow when they wish.
Sometimes, Mo Jingchun truly wanted to ask Candy how she managed to control her emotions so freely.
The little one snuggled into Li Xuanyu’s arms, growing increasingly angry and sad as she thought about it. She had waited so long and barely got her brother’s agreement not to hand over the red packet.
But then... it was lost.
Gone just like that.
At this time, Xiaofeixia in the driver’s seat and Lone Wolf in the passenger seat exchanged a quick glance but didn’t dare to say a word.
They genuinely hadn’t seen Candy’s red packet.
Xiaofeixia had a slight suspicion. The little one probably lost it while weaving through a crowd.
In a crowd, the little one could maneuver through gaps, but they couldn’t, and the feet of the crowd created blind spots in their vision.
The chances of losing it at any other time were minimal. Whether eating or chatting while seated, everyone around was a colleague from the company.
Practically everyone who came was a company executive, and no one would risk offending the one person in the company nobody could afford to offend over a red packet.
It’s just like that widely spread phrase within the company.
If you offend the boss, you might lose your bonus and year-end bonus, but if you offend Candy, you might as well lie flat.
The boss might not say anything, but the person who offends Candy will face an industry blockade.
So, tell me, what do you want to buy with that red packet?
Seeing the little one sneak a glance at him, Mo Jingchun knew she was starting to hatch a plan in her mind.
Impressive, impressive. Crying while also thinking things over, worthy of being my sister, so smart since childhood.
Mo Jingchun pulled the little one into his embrace, pinching her teary face. Under Li Xuanyu’s puzzled gaze, he chuckled and asked:
"Tell me, what were you planning to do with that red packet?"
"If the reason makes sense, brother might consider making up for the lost red packet."
Instantly, her tears stopped, and she wiped them away herself.
"Brother, a red packet earned through skill isn’t plotting."
Beside her, Li Xuanyu watched as Candy switched moods now and then, feeling a bit bewildered.
This... doesn’t quite match the gentle, sweet Little Candy she remembered.
Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes and said nothing.
He couldn’t argue at all because if he did, the little one would retort with three more lines.
"Heehee, actually... Guoguo just wants to buy a bicycle."
Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow, "Don’t you already have one?"
Li Xuanyu, who was ready to watch the show, nodded in agreement. Over the past year, she often spotted Candy biking around the company.
No place within the company was off-limits for Candy’s parking.
Even Mo Jingchun’s office wasn’t exempt.
Candy grew anxious, "A balance bike and a bicycle aren’t the same, right?"
One is for little kids, and the other can be used by older children.
"Not the same, not the same at all. I want the kind with two wheels and pedals."
"The one at home only has a foot pedal."
Mo Jingchun grinned, "You said it yourself; both use foot pedals, so there’s no difference."
"Not the same!" Candy pouted.
Seeing tears welling up in her eyes again, Li Xuanyu played the peacemaker.
"Alright, alright, your brother’s just teasing you."
Saying that, Li Xuanyu shot Mo Jingchun a look.
Mo Jingchun shrugged, "I’ll buy it for you."
"Thank you, brother."
"Mu~ ma~"
The little one’s expression instantly turned from cloudy to sunny, beaming bright as day.
Mo Jingchun wiped his face, looking disdainful.
"I strongly suspect you lost the red packet on purpose so that brother would subsidize you for a 500 yuan bike."
"How... how could that be!" Candy’s eyes widened.
"Brother, I found out!"
"Found out what?"
Candy snorted, "I found out that you’ve learned to tell fibs with a straight face, just like Guoguo."
"Hahaha~" Li Xuanyu couldn’t help but laugh.
Candy’s words were just too cute.
No wonder so many people liked Little Candy.
