"Uh..."
Qin Chuan was left speechless by the words.
Although Nannan knew he wasn't her father, she always thought he was dating Meng Wantang.
They had a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
"On TV, other daddies always feed mommies," Nannan said seriously.
Qin Chuan rubbed his forehead.
These TV dramas are really misleading nowadays.
Such a young child already knows about these romantic things.
What will she be like when she grows up?
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan involuntarily glanced at Meng Wantang.
Not wanting to spoil her daughter's good mood today, Meng Wantang...
She hadn't seen Nannan so happy in a long time.
If Nannan found out that Qin Chuan was just an actor she hired, she'd be very upset.
At this thought, Meng Wantang gave Qin Chuan a look, signaling him to feed her the noodles.
"Hmm?"
Qin Chuan was taken aback, caught off guard.
But when he saw Nannan's expectant little eyes, his heart softened.
He quietly picked up a bite of noodles and brought it to Meng Wantang's lips.
Meng Wantang's lips parted slightly, and she ate the noodles, slowly chewing them.
"Yay!"
Nannan clapped her little hands excitedly, looking overjoyed.
But soon, she looked at Qin Chuan and said with slight annoyance, "Daddy, you're so silly. Mommy has sauce on her mouth. Go get a tissue and wipe it off for her."
Qin Chuan smiled wryly, not expecting to be ordered around by a kid.
But, playing the role completely.
Since it has come to this, might as well finish the act.
Qin Chuan pulled out two tissues and reached over.
Unexpectedly, Meng Wantang leaned her face closer, slightly pouting her lips.
Compared to Qin Chuan, her performance appeared more natural.
As if she truly considered herself Qin Chuan's lover, enjoying his tenderness.
Qin Chuan gently wiped her mouth, his touch was so gentle as if he was afraid of hurting Meng Wantang's skin.
An ambiguous atmosphere quietly spread at this moment.
In a place Qin Chuan couldn't see, Meng Wantang's heart was already racing.
Having felt the warmth all morning, Qin Chuan finally returned to school.
It was Meng Wantang and Nannan who saw him back.
"Mommy, why does Daddy still need to go to school? Doesn't he have any friends?"
Nannan's eyes shimmered with curiosity.
Meng Wantang was usually busy and didn't have time to care for her, so when Nannan was two and a half, she sent her to kindergarten.
The reason she gave was that she could make many friends there.
But Meng Wantang hadn't expected that those words meant to coax a child had become a topic she couldn't easily respond to now.
After pondering for a moment, she slowly said, "Daddy isn't going to school to study; he's a teacher there."
"But isn't Daddy a doctor?" Nannan continued to ask.
"Uh..."
Feeling momentarily at a loss for words, Meng Wantang could only continue with a well-meaning lie: "Daddy is a doctor; he's at the school to teach more doctors."
"Oh~~~"
Nannan made a face of sudden realization, a sly grin forming where Meng Wantang couldn't see.
She knew Qin Chuan's identity.
She only asked to prevent Meng Wantang from noticing anything amiss.
Just as the mother and daughter were about to leave, Qin Chuan, who had already entered the school gate, suddenly returned.
"Daddy, why are you back again?"
Nannan was slightly surprised, then a thought struck her: "I know, you forgot to give Mommy a hug and a kiss, didn't you?"
"Hmm???"
Qin Chuan's eyes widened, turning to stone where he stood.
I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, little one!
He came back because he wanted to inform Meng Wantang about the Dog Hall's participation in the martial arts competition.
Hugging and kissing? Those thoughts never crossed his mind.
Seeing Qin Chuan's flustered demeanor, Meng Wantang knew he had something to say to her, so she instructed the driver to take Nannan to the car first.
"Daddy, remember to give Mommy a hug and a kiss this time. I'll be watching you from the car," Nannan reminded as she got in.
Qin Chuan rubbed his forehead and chuckled wryly.
This kid knows so much.
"Mr. Qin, is there something you wanted to speak to me about?" Meng Wantang asked.
Qin Chuan snapped back to reality and nodded: "I received some information that might be useful to you; the Dog Hall plans to participate in the Huawu Alliance's competition to vie for a permanent director position."
"What...what?"
Meng Wantang's brows furrowed, a trace of surprise flashing across her face: "Is the information credible?"
"The Dog Hall's Yang Monian invited me to join them, to represent them in the martial arts competition," Qin Chuan continued.
"Did Mr. Qin agree?"
Meng Wantang didn't seem surprised that Qin Chuan practiced martial arts.
Clearly, she also possessed information about Qin Chuan.
"I delayed a day to figure out the Dog Hall's intentions. Personally, I won't work for the Dog Hall or the Red Dragon Association," Qin Chuan stated bluntly.
"I don't know the Dog Hall's intentions yet; I'll need to check it out first."
Meng Wantang replied, "But thank you, Mr. Qin, for bringing this news to me."
"It's no trouble," Qin Chuan waved it off.
To him, it wasn't a secret.
Regardless of the Dog Hall or Red Dragon Association, as long as they didn't provoke him, Qin Chuan had no interest in getting involved.
The reason he shared the information with Meng Wantang was to repay her kindness for securing the Nine Dragon Pill Furnace for him.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back to class," Qin Chuan said.
"Wait."
Meng Wantang called out.
"Something else?" Qin Chuan paused.
"I...we should hug; Nannan is still watching."
Meng Wantang stammered, feeling a bit embarrassed to say it.
Qin Chuan glanced towards the car and indeed found a pair of lively eyes filled with anticipation staring at them.
He smiled wryly, then silently opened his arms.
Meng Wantang pursed her lips, then slowly opened her arms, stepping into Qin Chuan's embrace.
The two of them shared a brief hug.
Had it been just that, Qin Chuan wouldn't be flustered.
After all, he once carried Meng Wantang down from a mountain at the zoo.
He was already familiar with her slender waist.
What truly made him panic was Meng Wantang's next move.
Just as they were about to part, Meng Wantang suddenly stood on tiptoe, her soft lips pressing directly against Qin Chuan's.
Qin Chuan's eyes widened, his whole body freezing in place.
Meanwhile, Meng Wantang was even more flustered, her heart pounding like crazy, like a little deer jumping around inside.
She couldn't tell if it was just to fulfill Nannan's wishes or if she couldn't help herself.
This graceful woman, after kissing Qin Chuan, bowed her head shyly, quickly getting into the car.
It wasn't until the car drove away that she realized she left without giving Qin Chuan an explanation.
"Meng Wantang, what is wrong with you?"
The beautiful woman sighed internally, hurriedly sending a message to Shi Qing: "Give me Qin Chuan's phone number."
