Chapter 920: Got Tricked by Zero

Previously, nobody ever thought anyone could make the domineering Candy submit, until the president’s twin daughters learned to walk and transformed into two little chatterboxes, leaving Candy eager to escape every time she saw them.

Think about it, being chased by two little ones asking endless questions, it wouldn’t just be Candy who couldn’t handle it; anyone would be overwhelmed.

Before Candy arrived, these two little ones were pestering everyone. Now it’s clear, their target is Candy, who’s ready to make a getaway.

It must be said, Candy arrived very timely today.

Zhou Yaling, being a seasoned senior employee, now has a disciple to handle most of the work. Zhou Yaling is definitely the most relaxed worker in the president’s office.

But what does that matter? From the start, everyone knew Zhou Yaling’s position was one that the boss specifically created for her.

Zhou Yaling sips her water, watching the bewildered Candy with interest.

“Candy, why aren’t you talking?”

“Did you miss us?”

“Yeah, yeah, did you miss us?”

At this moment, Wenjing, hugging Candy’s right leg, blinked and said to her sister:

“Sister, why are you repeating what I said?”

“Yeah, why?”

Listening to the conversation between the two little ones, Candy’s headache intensified.

“Stop! Don’t say anymore. I’ll take you to play with Little Grey and Bun.”

“Okay, okay!”

Nibbling an apple, Candy grabbed each of their hands and led them back to the now-empty office.

“Off you go~”

“Hahaha, doggie.”

Little Grey and Bun, who had been lazily resting, instantly perked up and tried to run away, lest they be plucked yet again, unable to fight back or argue.

“Stop! Where are you running off to?” Candy widened her eyes. She was inadvertently redirecting the little ones’ attention to Bun and Little Grey, and she couldn’t let them escape.

If they got away, what would she do?

Watching the two little ones playing happily with Little Grey and Bun, Candy quietly walked into the bedroom and pulled out a box of toys.

With toys, hopefully, they wouldn’t chase her with questions anymore.

Best not! Sitting in the chair, Candy was thoroughly exhausted. Thinking back, she realized how much Zero suffered when she was young.

If she remembered correctly, she herself was a little chatterbox asking a hundred thousand whys. Zero always had quick answers to her endless questions.

Candy now seriously doubts Zero knew those two little ones would be in the office today; otherwise, why did she find an excuse to go to her brother’s private lab after getting off the school bus, claiming she was helping her brother with experiments?

“Hmph, I’ll settle accounts with you later; sneaking away without calling me along.”

……………………………………

After the meeting, Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning returned from the conference room, discussing the company’s recent developments with smiles. As they entered the office, Li Wanning noticed something was missing.

Right, the voices of Wenjing and Wenru, the two little chatterboxes.

Looking around, Li Wanning didn’t see the little ones anywhere.

“Strange, where did they run off to play?”

The two little ones are definitely still on this floor; without an adult, the elevator is off-limits to them.

“Have you seen Wenjing and Wenru?”

Li Wanning is worried about her daughters secretly going to the boss’s office. After all, the boss being lenient and occasionally allowing them to visit is already quite generous, but entering the boss’s office without permission could bother the boss.

“Candy was here earlier and left with them.”

Standing at the door, Li Wanning saw her two daughters playing with building blocks while Candy sat in a chair, quietly watching, propping up her chin.

Knock knock knock~

Even though the boss isn’t in the office and it’s just Candy there, Li Wanning still knows proper etiquette.

Hearing the knock, all three instinctively looked toward the door.

“Mommy~”

“Mommy~”

The two little ones put down their blocks and happily ran over.

“Candy still has homework to do; let’s not disturb her, okay?”

At these words, Candy’s eyes lit up instantly; homework sounded great, much better than babysitting.

“Mommy, we’ll do homework too.”

“Ahem, you’re still young; you don’t need to do it.”

“Say goodbye to Candy~”

Though unwilling, the two little ones still waved as their mother led them by the hand.

“Candy bye-bye~”

“Bye-bye~” Candy waved with a big smile.

As the voices of the little ones faded, Candy immediately grabbed her bag and ran as fast as she could.

“To the lab, must go to the lab!”

At this moment, Candy felt there was no safer place than the laboratory.

Minutes later, Mo Jingchun curiously observed Candy, who had entered the lab breathless with her bag, and asked, “Why did you run over here? Is someone chasing you?”

Candy waved her hand, plopped down on a stool, and said with eyes full of helplessness, “Bro, don’t even start. Zero knew Wenjing and Wenru were in the office and didn’t tell me, ran to you alone, claiming to help with your experiments.”

Speaking, Candy glanced at the two Zeros sitting idly on small stools.

At her words, Mo Jingchun smiled faintly, removed his goggles, and said, laughing, “Don’t you love playing with Wenjing and Wenru? They’re stuck to you because you used to tease them all the time.”

“Sigh~” Candy sighed, saying, “Bro, I’m regretful now. Was I like this when I was little?”

“Hmm, what do you think? You used to ask endless questions whenever you saw a bug. Ask Zero if you don’t believe me. Maybe Zero has old video recordings; would you like her to play them for you?”

“No! Absolutely not!” Candy was startled and hurriedly stopped him.

Playing old videos of her childhood is tantamount to social suicide. Their generation is so unlucky; there’s video evidence of all their embarrassing childhood events.

Unlike her brother, who can barely find a few old photos in blurry quality on QQ Space.

Beside them, Zero’s eyes suddenly lit up at Mo Jingchun’s words. Where she’d been timid earlier, now she sat upright.

She had plenty of videos from Candy’s childhood, so there was nothing to fear.

Hahaha.

“Zero, you’re laughing. That’s outrageous, siding with my brother to set me up.”

Zero chuckled, flicked her hair, and said, “Life, you see, must be filled with joy to be unforgettable.”

“I thank you graciously!”

“Alright, since you’re here, just sit at my desk and do your homework. There’s one thing Zero didn’t lie about; she really is here to help me with experiments.”
