chapter 19 Help Lila cover the quilt

Peter Qin asked one more question.
Lila Qin happily clung to his arm and said, "It was a gift from someone else~"
Peter Qin shifted uncomfortably but remained silent.
He always wore a poker face, and others couldn't guess his thoughts.
They remained silent throughout the journey back to the Qin family.
The butler had been waiting at the door for a while, worried about the young master's health and the safety of the little miss. His eyes widened in astonishment when Peter Qin and Lila Qin both... no, they got out of the car together.
The elderly butler couldn't believe his eyes.
The young master was actually carrying the little miss?
Even though he still had no expression on his face, his body was stiff, and he didn't respond to the little miss, he was still carrying her?
Ken Gao also got out of the car.
He casually glanced around and, after seeing the butler's expression, approached and patted the butler's shoulder.
"I understand how you feel."
"My worldview is collapsing."
Peter Qin, feeling uneasy, carried Lila Qin to the living room and put her down.
Lila Qin pouted, her chubby little hands tugging at Peter Qin. "Come on, big brother, give Lila another hug, please?"
"No," Peter Qin gently pulled her hands away, then walked upstairs quickly. "I'm very busy."
Lila Qin stopped pestering him. "Alright, big brother has work to do, so Lila has work to do too."
Peter Qin hesitated for a moment, then turned around suddenly with an irritated tone. "What kind of work can a little child like you do?"
"Even kids have work to do," Lila Qin patted her chest. "Lila promised another big brother that I would help him. Lila can't go back on her word."
Peter Qin's expression darkened.
Dealing with a four-and-a-half-year-old was difficult, but what about Ken Gao?
"Ken Gao, come to my study."
Ken Gao forced a smile, and as he passed by Lila Qin, he teased, "Miss, you're quite good at assigning tasks to me."
Her big, watery eyes blinked as she made a cheering motion. "Come on, Uncle Driver, good luck! Lila has high hopes for you!"
Ken Gao said, "I really appreciate it, Miss."
After a brief conversation, Ken Gao disclosed everything he knew, without hiding anything.
"Lei family?" Peter Qin asked.
"Yes, that's right. It's Dylan Rei, the young master of the Lei family."
"Hmph."
Ken Gao felt uneasy. He couldn't quite gauge the young master's reaction.
"Since she appointed you as her exclusive driver, you can stay," Peter Qin said coldly. "In the future, you'll need to report everything she does to me."
"This..."
Ken Gao awkwardly smiled.
He couldn't choose between the employer and the benefactor.
"Any dangerous situation, let me know in a timely manner," Peter Qin said.
Ken Gao breathed a sigh of relief.
"If the little miss is in danger, I will definitely inform the young master promptly."
"You can go now."
Ken Gao quickly left.
Not long after, the secretary called.
"Mr. Qin, we've investigated it. The money lent to Ryan Tang was from a small organization. Their leader is known as Poison Snake, and the scarred man is one of his henchmen. They often engage in similar activities and occasionally work for wealthy individuals."
The atmosphere in the study immediately grew heavy.
"Was someone behind them?" Peter Qin asked.
The secretary replied, "Um, well, it's the Lei family. That Lei Madam, it seems she often has nightmares. She hired quite a few fortune tellers and gave a large sum of money to Poison Snake, instructing him to bring those fortune tellers here secretly."
Peter Qin understood.
If it were any other fortune teller, they would have been respectful and gone willingly. But when it came to Lila Qin, they were abducted straight away. Even if she solved their problems afterward, she wouldn't even get paid, and they might even kill her.
He clenched his hand on the table, veins popping.
Peter Qin spoke slowly, his anger and coldness reaching the other end of the phone.
"Continue investigating, dig deeper into this Lei family."
If anyone dared to harm Lila Qin, he wouldn't show mercy, regardless of who they were.
"Yes, Mr. Qin. But, regarding Ryan Tang..."
"Hmph." Frost covered his handsome face. "You go deal with it. I want to see him impoverished and miserable for the rest of his life."
"Understood, Mr. Qin. I'll handle it immediately."
Two days later.
Ken Gao drove with Lila Qin and Dylan Rei to the Yang family's old mansion.
The tall young man slumped in the passenger seat, looking dispirited.
Lila Qin held a huge food container and took out a chicken leg.
"These chicken legs are delicious," she said, her big eyes forming crescents as she smiled. "The chicken legs prepared by big brother are the best."
The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but clarify, "It was the young master who ordered the kitchen to prepare them. To be precise, it was the chef."
"But it's because big brother ordered it that Lila gets to eat them," she said cheerfully.
In just a few days, Lila Qin's fondness for Peter Qin had skyrocketed.
"Uncle Driver, you must be jealous that Lila has such a cute big brother, huh?" Lila said.
Ken Gao replied, "..."
The funniest joke he had ever heard in his life was that Peter Qin was cute, and the little miss's filter was a bit thick.
[Divine Calculation System: The Taoist priests from the Clearwater Temple often prepare chicken legs for you, but I don't see you like them this much, and you often bully them.]
"Lila likes the Taoist priests and uncles too!"
Lila Qin secretly communicated with the system in her mind.
"But this kind of liking is different. When Lila sees big brother, she really likes him. Is this what it feels like to have a family?"
The system felt a little sour.
[Divine Calculation System: But he doesn't like you very much.]
"Big brother likes me!"
Lila Qin giggled to herself.
"Lila will tell you, last night, big brother came into Lila's room and tucked me in!"
If Lila Qin had a tail, it would probably be wagging in the air right now.
She proudly raised her chin, swaying left and right, forgetting about the chicken leg.
[Divine Calculation System: I temporarily deactivated last night and didn't notice.]
"But Lila noticed!"
If there were a tail, it would be leaving a trail of afterimages by now.
"Big brother is just shy; he blushes easily and doesn't like to talk, that's all. Lila understands!"
Even so, the system still thought that Peter Qin's affection for Lila Qin wasn't enough; at most, he had just slightly opened his heart.
The happy little girl wanted others to be happy too.
She rarely shared her chicken legs.
"Uncle Driver, would you like a piece? It's really delicious, and it's prepared by big brother, you know."
Ken Gao looked dumbfounded.
From the moment they left home until now, he had heard the title "big brother" dozens of times.
"Thank you, Miss, but I need to drive."
"Alright, you'll miss out on the delicious chicken leg prepared by big brother," Lila Qin said with a grin. "Such a pity!"
Lila Qin then handed a chicken leg to Dylan Rei.
"Dylan, don't be upset. Have a piece of this delicious chicken leg prepared by big brother. It's really good, and it'll make you feel better."
