124 Counterfeit

It was almost Children’s Day. In the past, Qu Zhi had always accompanied Chuchu on Children’s Day, but this year, it was Liang Wen’s turn.

In order to design the silk scarf, Qu Zhi discussed design after design and going from factory to factory. She had been so busy that her feet couldn’t even touch the ground, and she had just finished the design of the scarf. She didn’t have time to accompany her child.

When she came back at night, she felt thirsty and her throat was on fire. She asked Aunt Hui to prepare a large bottle of ice water and put it in the refrigerator so that she could drink it when she came back.

After drinking a big mouthful of ice water, Qu Zhi felt more comfortable and more energetic. However, cold water was not good for her body. Aunt Hui also prepared some water to warm her stomach after drinking it, otherwise it would hurt her body.

However, Qu Zhi still felt uncomfortable that day. She couldn’t stay up all night and only felt dizzy, so she decided to come back to sleep for a while and return to the company after dinner.

On her way back, Qu Zhi caught a whiff of the fragrance of flower tea. It was very, very strong, as if it was about to rush into her nose. She immediately recognized it was her flower tea. Someone had probably put an entire bag of it in one go.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Chuchu standing on a small stool with a face full of sweat. Black tea leaves were being stewed in the pot. Chuchu was holding a very big spoon and stirring the pot. Aunt Hui was watching this little devil from the side, afraid that she would burn herself.

Qu Zhi’s heart ached. The tea leaves were of a very high grade. If they were boiled like this, it would be a waste.

However, there was no use in scolding her now.

“What are you doing, Chuchu?” Qu Zhi tried her best to make her tone sound gentle. Of course, she knew she was boiling tea, and it was her best tea, but it was too hard to accept.

“I’m making milk tea for you.” Chuchu wiped her sweat. Her face was red from the high temperature. “Chen En taught me. He said that it was the best drink in the world. I’ve already drunk it at their house, and I want to give Mom a taste.”

Aunt Hui told Qu Zhi, “She’s been busy the entire afternoon. She insisted on making it herself.”

Chuchu’s stubborn temper rose. “I’ll be done soon. I can do it myself.”

She lifted the pot with great effort and filtered the tea into the big bowl with a filter spoon.

“Grandma will do it.” Aunt Hui was afraid that she would make the kitchen a mess, so she snatched the pot from Chuchu’s hands. “Chuchu, can you be the captain?”

Only then did Chuchu realize how heavy the pot was, and she had no more strength. “Alright, I’ll be the captain then.”

Next, she just had to add some milk and squeeze some condensed milk, and it was ready to drink.

Sisi smelled the strong smell of milk, and the fruit paste in her mouth was not as delicious anymore. She spat out the fruit paste and blinked her grape-like eyes at Qu Zhi.

At this time, Sisi had already started weaning. With supplementary food and milk to drink, Sisi’s appetite was not bad and she wanted to eat everything. Seeing her mother and the others were busy cooking, she wanted to try it too.

Aunt Hui used her chopsticks to dip a little and put it in Sisi’s mouth. Sisi squinted her eyes and licked it for a long time, not letting go of the chopsticks.

“Greedy little cat. You’re not happy to see Mom eat good food, right?” Aunt Hui held Sisi in her arms. Wait here, grandma will heat up the milk for you.

The milk tea was still very hot, and Qu Zhi felt it was too much to drink, so she threw a few ice cubes into it.

After the milk tea cooled down, Qu Zhi took a sip. She felt that it was too sweet and not as good as ice water.

Aunt Hui also took a sip and stopped. The two of them looked at each other while holding back their laughter. Neither of them could drink anymore. Only Chuchu was drinking happily at the side. She felt that the sweeter, the better. Chen En’s milk tea was too bitter. It was better to make it herself.

“Is it good?” After Chuchu finished drinking, she pouted at her mother and aunt Hui, a small mustache forming around her mouth.

“It’s delicious.” Qu Zhi smiled. “The milk tea Chuchu made for Mommy is the best milk tea.”

“It’s good, Chuchu is awesome!” Aunt Hui also gave Chuchu a big thumbs up.

Chuchu was finally satisfied. However, she thought with a little regret that adults always drank things slowly and couldn’t finish the milk tea even when it was cold.

Just as Qu Zhi was struggling with how she would finish the milk tea, her phone rang again.

It was Lin He’s panicked voice on the other end. “Qu Zhi, where are you?”

“I’m at home.” It was rare for her to come back early, and the milk tea in Qu Zhi’s hand was still a little hot.

“Hurry back to the company. Our scarves designs were stolen.”
