"Let's fill the piping bag with cream and make so decorations," the young lady gently instructed.
Turning to fetch the cream, she found it mostly gone, and her gaze fell upon the culprit with a ring of white beard around his mouth.
The little girl didn't indulge herself alone; she shared with Qin Bei and the others, and they divided the bowl of cream almost equally.
Realizing she had been caught, Zhouzhou sat up straight, her chubby hands, coated in cream, quickly hidden behind her back.
An Ya sat aside, laughing until her stomach hurt. Oh, how adorable her daughter was!
Even the young lady found her irresistibly cute and had to suppress a smile. Qin Lie chuckled at his silly little girl, wiping her face with a wet tissue before turning to the waiter, "Please bring us more cream, and add it to the bill."
The young lady shook her head, "No need, it's on the house."
Zhouzhou blinked, knowing they had already noticed. Feeling embarrassed, she buried her head in Qin Lie's embrace.
Qin Lie lifted her chubby arm, placing her on his lap and then had the waiter bring over so finished small cakes, handing them out to the children.
Zhouzhou gleefully grabbed a cake and began devouring it, even feeding Qin Lie. He winced at the overly sweet cream.
He regretted taking that piece of candy earlier; if he hadn't, Zhouzhou wouldn't have thought he liked sweets.
Seeing her expectant gaze, Qin Lie couldn't refuse. He reluctantly accepted her offering, but when she tried to feed him again, he gently pushed her hand away, "You eat, I'm not hungry."
Zhouzhou pouted, then rembered sothing, freezing in place with a cake in hand.
Noticing, Qin Lie told the waiter, "You may leave; we'll handle it ourselves."
"Very well, sir. Just call if you need anything."
"Mm."
As soon as the door closed, Zhouzhou gave the cake to An Ya.
An Ya grinned and began eating without hesitation.
Having such a capable daughter was truly wonderful.
Zhouzhou approached, cake in hand, and An Ya understood, clinking their cakes together, saying, "Cheers."
Excitedly, Zhouzhou exclaid, "Let's eat!" and eagerly began devouring her cake.
Seeing this, An Ya couldn't help but chuckle.
Qin Lie remained silent, holding Zhouzhou while squeezing cream from the piping bag. Surprisingly, it looked quite artistic, almost as good as what the waiter had made.
Zhouzhou watched wide-eyed and quickly finished her cake. Licking her lips, she slid down from his lap, eager to try herself, "Daddy, let do it!"
Qin Lie didn't argue, handing her the piping bag.
Zhouzhou exerted all her strength, but the cream ca out in a blob, shapeless and unattractive.
Frustrated, she tried again with less force, but it was still large and ugly. The piping bag just wouldn't cooperate.
She stomped her foot in frustration, her breathing becoming shallow. Refusing to give up, she continued, but the cream still wouldn't listen, and she started sweating from the effort.
Seeing her distress, Qin Lie took her hand, rubbing her head gently, "Don't rush, take your ti." With that, he helped her squeeze out a small flower.
Zhouzhou exclaid in awe, "Daddy is so amazing! Teach !"
"Mm." Qin Lie guided her, completing the decorations with perfection, except for the two she had attempted, which were less than ideal.
An Ya was impressed; his skills were remarkable. He could easily open a shop with them.
Qin Bei approached, giving his approval, "Brother-in-law is really talented, quick to learn. No wonder Dad says even if you go bankrupt, you won't beg."
Qin Lie shot him a look; that big mouth of Qin Bei's never had anything good to say. Why would he go bankrupt? He should be worried about himself.
Zhouzhou also glared, "What's wrong with begging? Sixth Brother, do you think begging is easy?"
Being broke was her forte! She wouldn't allow anyone to look down on it!
The little girl huffed, "Begging is very difficult. You have to walk a long way, beg many people, and even if you do get sothing, it's never enough. You're hungry again after just a few steps."
As she spoke, Zhouzhou patted her little belly, recalling her "career experience," deeply feeling the hardships of begging.
Qin Bei listened intently, a bit stunned by her explanation, scratching his head dumbfoundedly, "Begging is that hard?"
"Of course," Zhouzhou proudly lifted her chin, shaking her head, "Not everyone has the talent for this profession!"
Unaware, so might think she was referring to so impressive occupation.
An Ya doubled over in laughter, clutching her stomach.
After a while, she rembered Zhouzhou's words. She spoke with such detail; surely, she had begged for food herself. An Ya felt a pang of sympathy.
Before eting the Qin family, Zhouzhou must have endured a lot of hardships. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but send a grateful glance towards Qin Lie.
Qin Lie glanced at her, saying nothing, lowering his gaze to Zhouzhou, patting her head gently, "Keep going."
"Okay!"
Zhouzhou obediently placed her chubby hand in his, asserting confidently, "Daddy, teach !"
"Alright." Qin Lie indulged her, watching the process beside her, continuing to make cakes.
Qin Bei and the others also struggled along, but their finished products were not much better than Zhouzhou's, painfully unappealing.
Comparing theirs to hers, Zhouzhou suddenly felt quite satisfied with her own work.
After completing the final step, she clapped her hands, admiring it for a while before saying, "Daddy, let's eat this one, and then we can make another one for Sharp Tongue Uncle. This ti, Mommy and I will do it."
After all, it was their gift for Ye Lingfeng.
Qin Lie nodded, saying, "If we can't finish it, we can pack it up."
Not finish it?
How could that be possible!
Zhouzhou patted her chubby belly, giving him a reassuring look, confidently stating, "We'll finish it!"
Qin Lie couldn't help but smile as he looked at her.
Zhouzhou giggled, too, holding the knife with her chubby hand, cutting the cake into pieces and huddling together with Qin Bei and the others to eat.
At that mont, Qin Lie's phone suddenly rang. It was Huo Ji'an calling.
Answering it, Qin Lie handed the phone to Zhouzhou's ear.
With a choked voice, Huo Ji'an's cry ca through, "Chubby girl, soone is bullying my dad!"
