Chapter 2340: Chapter 2340

Little Potato looked up at her, nodding eagerly, "I have, I have." But instead of taking it from the ones given to Jiaojiao, he got up, ran over to a cabinet on the side, opened the door, and wagged his little butt as he rummaged inside. In no time, he pulled out a small paper box filled with red envelopes that had already been prepared for visitors during the upcoming Lunar New Year.

Gu Zichen didn’t even know he knew about that box. Seeing him take it all out left her both amused and exasperated, "Wasn’t it in the room? When did you sneak it out, you little rascal?"

Little Potato didn’t answer her. He took the box to Shu Wen and Shu Jiao, giving one to each of them, then pointed to his little cheek, signaling for a kiss.

Shu Wen and Shu Jiao were both amused by him and burst into laughter.

They both bent down and kissed him on the cheek, but Little Potato wasn’t satisfied. After they finished, he continued to hand out red envelopes, indicating that one kiss equals one red envelope.

At this point, Qin Qiong couldn’t sit still anymore. He came over and scooped him up, "You little rascal, you’re too bold, flirting with my wife right in front of me?"

Little Potato has always loved being held by the women in the family, right from birth, and that hasn’t changed. As soon as he was picked up, he wriggled like a little caterpillar, unwilling to be held.

Just as Qin Qiong loves doing the opposite of what people want, he refused to let go. The pair playfully fought, one big and one small, until Little Potato couldn’t hold back anymore and his eyes turned red. Worried he might go too far and get scolded, Qin Qiong quickly set him down.

It was rare for the whole family to gather like this. While the elders were talking, Jiaojiao seized the moment during the fireworks in the yard to ask Qin Li, "Little Li, I heard you came first again this year. That’s amazing!"

Qin Li had arrived in Beidu during Ruan Jiaojiao’s sophomore summer break. It’s been over a year now, and the once reclusive little boy from Xiahe Village had grown into a young man.

After bringing Qin Li back, Shu Wen and Qin Qiong didn’t worry about children anymore, taking everything as it came. Although Qin Li wasn’t their biological child, the two treated him like one. It might have differed from the usual affectionate parent-child bond, but Jiaojiao could tell that Shu Wen and Qin Qiong sincerely cared for Qin Li, who, in return, showed deep admiration for them.

Qin Li is currently in the first year at the affiliated middle school of Qing University. It’s said that he ranked first in the entire school in the final exams this year.

Qin Li looked at Jiaojiao, shyly nodded, and was a bit embarrassed by her praise.

Jiaojiao then took a red envelope out of her pocket, prepared earlier, and handed it to him, "This is money earned by your sister; it’s not much. I’m giving you a small red envelope. Don’t look down on it, okay? When your sister earns more, I’ll give you a bigger one!"

"Thank you, sister." Qin Li accepted the red envelope and treasured it in his pocket.

"Mine!" Little Potato darted over from the other side, hands reaching out to snatch it.

Jiaojiao quickly scooped him up, pinching his cheek, "Little Potato, you can’t do that. Your sister gave you one when she arrived, didn’t she? If you take your brother’s, your sister will be upset."

Little Potato felt a bit jealous, but more afraid of upsetting Jiaojiao. Besides, he genuinely liked his cousin, Qin Li, so he didn’t forcefully grab it.

Jiaojiao stayed with the Shu Family until the third of the new year, then returned on the fourth as scheduled.
