Chapter 232: Never Fall in Love Again

"Yes! From now on, let’s never talk about love again! The outcome of falling in love is just too tragic, too tragic!"

Qu Qianqian’s little face was stern:

"From now on, if anyone wants to date me, I’ll be mad at them!"

Little Lu Li thought the same.

She clenched her little fists tightly, her little face very, very serious:

"Yes! If anyone wants to date me, I’ll beat them to death! Those who want to date me must be bad people!"

The parents had no idea at all.

Their unintentional actions had already frightened the beautiful little flowers of the motherland into fearing marriage.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Song Qingwan was still not entirely at ease about the little girl going to kindergarten to study.

The little girl had been with the Lu Family for several months now.

Apart from registering her household, there was only the rumor that "she is Lu Junhan’s daughter" being spread around.

But she had not yet been formally introduced to outsiders.

Song Qingwan thought about holding a ’grabbing ceremony’ this Saturday or Sunday.

Others usually hold a grabbing ceremony when a child is exactly one hundred days old, also known as a ’first birthday feast’.

But the little girl’s situation was special.

They hadn’t been involved in those first couple of years, so they didn’t know whether Little Lu Li had had a first birthday feast.

Since they didn’t know, Song Qingwan assumed it hadn’t been held!

Although the little girl was already three years old now, such an important event as a grabbing ceremony must be made up for.

In short, Song Qingwan just wanted an excuse to throw a grand party.

To introduce the little girl to people in high society, and at the same time, meet the people in the little girl’s class.

After all, no matter how thorough and detailed the information is, it’s not as real as seeing it with your own eyes.

The old man had no objections; he was a traditional person.

In his view, children who don’t have a grabbing ceremony are children with an incomplete life.

Moreover, what they grab at that time might decide the course of their entire lives.

Just like that brat Lu Junhan.

Back then, a pile of various things was placed in front of him; there was everything he could want, and even things he didn’t want, there was.

That rascal didn’t even look and directly reached out to grab the hundred-dollar bill closest to him.

Now, hasn’t he grown up to become a ruthless, money-grubbing businessman!

Back then, the old man couldn’t have regretted it more.

If he’d known the grabbing ceremony was so accurate at predicting the future,

at that time, he would have placed a gun in front of Lu Junhan no matter what he said.

Who knows, by now that brat might have already inherited his career!

So, this time, the old man was determined.

No matter what, he would put what he wanted —

Toy guns, fishing rods, the highest command badge of the military department, military uniforms, etc. — all at the very inside.

Making sure the little girl would touch them as soon as she reached out!

Song Qingwan thought the same.

But she couldn’t win against her domineering and unreasonable father.

Had to put those dolls, pretty dresses, limited edition jewelry,

and everything else she could find that belonged to girls, all outside the old man’s toy guns.

But she still had a lot of confidence.

No matter how close that old man put the items, so what?

Li Li is, after all, a delicate girl; she might not even look at them and just choose the doll she prepared for her.

Since they had already decided, Song Qingwan, who was always fast actioned and planned,

began preparing the venue with great fanfare on the same day.

The invitations were sent out early on.

She also particularly reminded the little girl to notify her group of friends.

Making sure her Yiming brother, Xi Yan brother, and especially her Qianqian sister, must come to the feast.

Upon hearing the invitation to have them come over to play, the little loli was very happy.

During those few days, she was like a little butterfly, telling Song Qingwan:

We have to buy this candy that Yiming brother likes to eat, have to buy chocolate that Xi Yan brother likes to eat, and this and that, Qianqian sister will like very much!

However, in contrast, the atmosphere at the Qu Family wasn’t so good.

Qu Sinian was constantly flying back and forth in and outside the country, always busy and never on the ground, with no regular routine.

Even spending time with Qu Qianqian had to be squeezed out of his schedule.

To him, weekends meant holiday for others, but for him, weekends meant shooting, with no such thing as a holiday.

Therefore, he simply had no time to attend something like a grabbing ceremony.

Moreover, the Qu Family and the Lu Family did not have many dealings in the business world, and the relationship between the two families was not particularly good.

Originally, he planned to decline.

But Qu Qianqian insisted on going, saying that she had already promised Ms. Li Li.

The man’s eyes were calm, kneeling on one knee, his top-notch handsome appearance outranking those in the entertainment industry, exceptionally beautiful.

Without speaking, just by looking, he was incomparably aloof and indifferent.

Besides, in his every gesture, he exuded the exclusive elegance of a young master of a high society.

When he slightly lowered his eyes, the red mole at the corner of his eye added an unexpectedly seductive touch to his cold face.

It was like a ghost sucking out souls.

With just one look, it was hard to look away from his gaze.

This man was the national movie emperor, Qu Sinian, famously described as an untouchable ’lonely flower on a high hill’ in the entertainment industry.

"Baby, can we not go? Daddy really doesn’t have time."

"You’re lying!"

But now, watching the little girl in front of him sitting on the sofa sulking, throwing a tantrum at him,

his always clear and cold face revealed a hint of grievance and humble plea:

"Daddy really isn’t lying to you. This Saturday, Daddy has an important ad to shoot. If you don’t believe me, ask my agent. And as for your mom, she’s even busier. Daddy will take you to your Ms. Li Li’s house some other time, okay?"

While the countless fans outside might rack their brains, they probably could never imagine that their seemingly aloof, high-above movie emperor, was actually a devoted daughter-dad at home.

"If you don’t go, I’ll go myself!"

Qu Qianqian’s pretty little face was tense, turning away with a hum, refusing to look at him:

"Anyway, I’ve already promised Ms. Li Li. Before, I refused to date her, and she was already very sad. I can’t stand her up again this time!"

"Wait a minute!" The man’s grievance vanished, his long, narrow phoenix eyes narrowed coldly, and he spoke coldly:

"Dating her...? The person you were dating before was your Ms. Li Li?"

"Yes."

Qu Qianqian furrowed her small brows and turned her head:

"Didn’t I tell you before?"

"..."

"Oh, right! I hadn’t told you then; when you heard I was dating, you just gave me a beating!"

"..."

Speaking of this, little Qu Qianqian remembered those consecutive four days of spankings, and her mood suddenly turned sour: "My bottom still hurts a bit now!"

She pushed the man aside, angrily: "Go away! I don’t want you going; you’re a bad guy! I’ll go by myself on Saturday!"
