My Youth Began With Him

“No wonder you don’t have a boyfriend… This is common sense, alright?” Pudding said matter-of-factly, completely rendering Qin Ning speechless…

“Giving someone a belt means you want to tie him to you for the rest of your life.”

“What? The rest of your life?” Qin Ning asked, completely dumbfounded.

“What’s with the expression?” Pudding was speechless.

“Is the belt a good idea, my dear niece? Isn’t his girlfriend supposed to buy him something like that? He’s much older than you, it’s weird for you to tie him to you.”

“Me liking Handsome Su is old news… I’m still young, and when I grow up, Handsome Su will be an old man… It’s too bad that I wasn’t born earlier,” Pudding exclaimed.

Qin Ning was flabbergasted; how could a three-year-old be better with men than she was!

“You’re right, age is a big issue here. You should forget about him.”

“No, I won’t. Handsome Su’s a good guy, I can’t give up on him. I’m young, but there’s someone perfect for him in our family… Once he marries her, I can still tie him to me.”

“Don’t tell me that you’re actually talking about me,” Qin Ning said preemptively.

“Bingo! You finally got it!”

“Qin Zhaozhao, you’re so persistent! I already told you Su Yu and I aren’t a good match… Stop trying to set us up! Plus, he’s not even my type!”

“How can you say he’s not your type before you even got to know him?” Pudding pouted.

Qin Ning: “Pudding, you can’t joke about something like this, matchmaking is more complicated than that, no?”

However, Pudding ignored Qin Ning and sent Su Yu a video chat request.

“Hey, Handsome Su.”

“Hey, Pudding.”

“How did you know it was me? I’m using Little Bean’s cellphone.” Pudding smiled sweetly.

“Of course… Your Uncle Su is a pretty smart guy, Pudding.”

“What are you doing right now?”

“I was talking to clients and just got back to the company, what about you?”

“I was out playing with Little Bean…”

“You’re still in Los Angeles?” Su Yu asked with a smile.

Pudding nodded.

“Was LA fun?”

“Yeah… Auntie and Grandpa Qin are amazing to us.”

“I’m glad you guys are enjoying yourselves.”

“Do you miss me?” Pudding asked coyishly.

“I do, every day! When are you guys coming back?”

“Soon… Daddy and Mommy are coming back to LA to pick us up tonight, and we’re going to head back after spending the night at Grammy and Granddaddy’s.”

“That’s really soon. I’m going to treat you guys to a giant meal when you get back.” Su Yu smiled.

“Okay, but can you do something for me first?”

“Sure,” Su Yu agreed without thinking; he really did spoil the twins like his own daughter.

“We want Auntie to come back to China with us, but she won’t do it. Can you help persuade her?” Pudding asked as she suddenly turned the camera and pointed it at Qin Ning, leaving the latter feeling extremely awkward.

Her eyes were still red from crying and she just washed her face so she had literally no make-up on – it was a girl’s worst nightmare!

Su Yu was at a loss for words as well, and he had no choice but to wave his hand awkwardly and greeted, “Hey…”

Qin Ning forced out an awkward smile as well. “Hey.”

“Um… if you’re not too busy, you should come back with them. I can tell that they really like you.” Su Yu really bought Pudding’s excuse and tried to persuade Qin Ning.

This left her even more awkward than she already was.
