chapter 5 a little cute

At this moment, Lila Qin continued to climb onto the chair with her little arms and legs, huffing and puffing.
Hearing that there was something delicious, her grape-like big eyes had been shining brightly from the start.
But when she saw the bowl of noodles, Lila Qin immediately made a disappointed face.
"Lila doesn't like noodles, Lila likes meat! Lila wants a big chicken leg!"
She raised her head, and the four-and-a-half-year-old girl looked at the butler with utmost sincerity. "Mr. Butler, is the Qin family really poor? When Lila was at the Taoist temple, I got at least one chicken leg every day. The Taoist temple was so poor, but it seems like the Qin family is even poorer."
The butler was extremely embarrassed and could only reprimand the chef.
The chef was called out, and he was quite disdainful, raising an eyebrow when he saw Lila Qin.
"Hmph, just a four-year-old kid. A bowl of noodles is enough."
The butler was fuming, and his beard trembled as he spoke, "Is this the way you talk to the young miss?"
The chef shrugged, unimpressed, "My attitude is the same with everyone. If you can't stand it, you can go ahead and fire me."
The butler took a deep breath.
Meanwhile, the other servants who had been discreetly observing the situation were secretly delighted.
Having worked under the same roof for so long, they were well aware of the chef's confidence, mainly because the Second Young Master liked the desserts he made.
They even witnessed a heated argument between the Second Young Master and a guest who criticized the chef's desserts as being terrible.
As a result, the chef had developed quite an arrogant attitude among the servants. However, they had grown used to it. Rather than seeing the chef humbled, they were more eager to witness the young miss in an embarrassing situation.
After all, she was still the young miss, and it was quite pitiful to see her being mocked by a hired chef. Maybe this meant that they could climb over the young miss's head in the future?
The servants understood this, and so did the butler. That's why he was in a dilemma.
Just then, Lila Qin suddenly flashed a mischievous smile at the chef. "Uncle, would you like Lila to tell your fortune?"
The chef sneered, "You're just a little kid; what do you know?"
Lila Qin knew a lot more than he thought.
"Your forehead is black, Uncle. Within three days, you'll encounter a great misfortune~"
When it came to infuriating people, Lila Qin was a master. She spoke the cruelest words with her cute face, innocent expression, and soft voice.
"Uncle will lose a lot of money, and something will happen to both of your hands."
A chef couldn't stand someone saying that his hands would be chopped off. In his anger, he grabbed a glass from the table and directly aimed it at Lila Qin.
"You little brat, shut up!"
Lila Qin's pupils suddenly contracted.
After binding with the Divine Calculation System and completing the mission, her first activated skill was the Kung Fu King. It was now at level 100, which meant she could easily defeat world-class experts and easily dodge this glass.
But someone was faster than her.
At the critical moment, a slender hand reached out and accurately grabbed the glass.
Lila Qin froze, the chef froze, the butler and the onlooker servants froze too.
A cold, undisguised chill swept over them, making the chef's legs tremble, and he couldn't even speak.
"Y-Young Master?"
The chef suddenly felt dry in the mouth. His chubby body seemed like a little mouse under those dark, cold eyes.
Panicking, he stuttered, "You, you've misunderstood, it's not like that. I, I..."
Peter Qin placed the glass on the table and stood to the side, not directly looking at Lila Qin.
His gaze was sharp and icy as it swept over the chef. Peter Qin's voice was so cold it could chill to the bone. "What misunderstanding? I don't know of any misunderstanding that would make a servant use a glass to attack their master."
The chef quickly thought on his feet and pointed to Lila Qin, "She cursed me first, saying I would have trouble, and in my panic, I struck out. Young Master, please, stand up for me!"
The chef remembered that the masters of this household didn't like the little miss, especially Eldest Yong Master. He had heard people gossip that Eldest Yong Master believed the little miss had brought misfortune upon their mother.
"Young Master, I'm innocent. Please, hear me out. It was the little miss..."
Following the chef's and even the servants' thoughts of disliking the little miss, as well as considering that the Second Young Master liked the desserts made by this chef, Eldest Yong Master would probably listen to the chef's explanation no matter what.
He might even let the chef off after hearing Lila Qin's words.
However, before the chef could finish speaking, Peter Qin impatiently waved his hand and said to the butler beside him, "Dismiss him, make him leave now."
The chef began to protest loudly, "Young Master, you can't do this! If the Second Young Master finds out, he'll..."
Several bodyguards had already entered and covered the chef's mouth, then they dragged him out.
The dining room suddenly fell silent.
Peter Qin's expression remained grim, and his thoughts were complicated.
He didn't like his little sister, but how could a servant dare to bully a member of the household like this? It was completely unacceptable.
Peter Qin took a deep breath and glanced at the now-cold noodles, instructing the butler beside him, "Cook it again."
The butler hurriedly turned around to give the order. Then, he suddenly had a thought and cautiously asked Peter Qin, "Young Master, should we prepare a portion for two people?"
Since he had rushed back at this time, it was clear that he intended to have a meal at home. But in this way, doesn't it appear that he had come back specifically to accompany Lila Qin?
Peter Qin's lips tightened, and his voice grew even colder. "Just one portion for her."
With that, he turned to leave.
Suddenly, two little hands grabbed onto his thigh. When he lowered his head to look, it was indeed Lila Qin.
Her big watery eyes and her pouty little mouth looked up at him. "Big brother, can you please stay and eat with Lila? It's too lonely to eat alone!"
"Hmph, who cares about you."
Having finally caught her big brother, there was no way she would let go. She was determined to use her cuteness, coyness, and even tantrums to make him stay.
In her sweet and plaintive voice, she added, "But Lila is scared. What if she gets bullied again when she's all alone?"
Bringing up this matter made Peter Qin furious.
He couldn't believe that his own family members had been neglecting Lila Qin like this.
He might not like his little sister, but as the young master of the house, there was no reason for the servants to mistreat her. If this were to become known, what would people say about the Qin family?
He decided that it was time to discipline these servants. He was doing this for the sake of the Qin family, not for Lila Qin!
"Big brother, please stay," Lila Qin fluttered her fan-like eyelashes, resembling a butterfly's wings caught in the rain, looking incredibly pitiful. "Normally, Lila eats with Master and the others. Lila doesn't like eating alone."
Why do I care?
That's what he thought, but his legs seemed to have a mind of their own and carried him over to a nearby chair. He sat down without intending to.
Seeing this, the butler understood and promptly left the dining room, taking the other servants who were originally spectating with him.
Now that Peter Qin had finally sat down, he contemplated how to make his stance clear. He absolutely wasn't doing this because he was worried about Lila Qin.
However, just as he was about to speak, he felt a weight on his legs.
He lowered his head and was surprised to find the little girl climbing onto his lap, her chubby hands naturally wrapping around his neck. She said with a soft, innocent voice, "Big brother, do you like Lila? Lila is very strong and will protect you in the future!"
The four-and-a-half-year-old girl had a sweet, chubby face and big, watery eyes filled with sincerity. She blinked at him.
"Thump, thump!"
"Thump, thump!"
What was going on? This little sister seemed to have a tiny bit of cuteness about her?
