Chapter 43, scolding him for not being a human

"Uncle..." Qin Sheng looked around, but there was no sign of a man in the room.

She hit the bed gloomily and sat up with the quilt in her arms. She supported her chin with her hand and bit the nails on her fingers, unable to understand what had been going on in her dreams.

The bathroom door opened, and Gong Mochen walked out of the bathroom dressed neatly. His gaze fell on the girl.

"Still not up?" He pulled out a clean school uniform and handed it to Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng looked at the man as if he was a precious animal. "Uncle, when are you going to marry me?"

Gong mochen tapped the girl's forehead with his finger. "You're imagining things again. Get up and go to class."

"What? Did I dream..." Qin Sheng's little face turned red.

Gong Mochen's face was flushed. "You must've been dreaming... I'll wait for you outside." He quickly left.

Damn... She was just dreaming! Or was she...

Qin Sheng lost her voice for a moment.

Then she got up and jumped off the bed, hugging the man from behind. "Uncle, I dreamt that we were together."

She quickly said to the man, "I want to really be with you."

"You shouldn't be late for class. Go and wash up!" Gong Mochen finally pushed away the girl's hand and spoke in a low voice. What she wanted was what he could not give her at the moment.

Qin Sheng looked at the man's back and stomped her foot. She'd failed again.

Her stomach growled and she went to eat breakfast when her hunger got the better of her. She did not dwell on the question of seducing her Uncle and ran into the bathroom to wash up and change into her clothes.

When she arrived in the dining room, breakfast was ready. The table was full of food and the sight of it made her speechless. It was even more grand than the food she used to pay respects to her ancestors on the first day of the New Year.

"Good Morning Grandpa, good morning Grandma, good morning Second Aunt, good morning Uncle, good morning Aunt, good morning Cousin." She skillfully called out the names of all the people in the dining room.

"Sit down. Why are you up so late? You have to change your habit of waking up late!" He Fen snapped.

"Yes, grandma," Qin Sheng replied. She sat beside Gong Mochen. The only thing she hated was that Li Ang was on the other side of her.

Li Ang rolled his eyes. "Why aren't you saying good morning to me?"

"You're not from the Qin family, why would I say good morning to you?" Qin Sheng glared at the man. He was picking on her so early in the morning, and she just didn't want to talk to him.

"Who says I'm not from the Qin Family? Soon, the Qin family will be married to my family," Li Ang looked at Qin Sheng with a wicked gaze, deliberately reminding her that their marriage proposal had not been resolved just yet.

"Oh yes, I forgot. Your surname will soon be Qin!" Qin Sheng said with a wicked smile.

"Damn you! I won't be changing my surname! Why would I take the Qin name? I'm the Duke!" Li Ang deliberately moved closer to Qin Sheng.

"I don't want you! Cousin, take him away quickly!" Qin Sheng said.

Li Ang's lips twitched. Take him away... Did anyone dare to take him away? The stupid girl dared to scold him this the early morning?

"Who are you scolding?" Li Ang roared angrily.

"Scolding you? I asked cousin to take you away quickly. Not much of a scolding... Is there a problem?" Qin Sheng picked up the bird's nest porridge and drank it. Her eyes swept across the table of dishes, like a wolf choosing a target.

Qin Yunting's face turned pale. No matter what Qin Sheng said, it was as if she was picking up something that Qin Sheng did not want. Was she getting castoffs?

Qin Yunting was clearly the winner - she'd surely get the Duke, but all this was so awkward that it was as if she had worms squirming in her stomach.

Li Ang was not so easy to mess with. He whispered into Qin Sheng's ear, "Don't think that I didn't hear you clearly! You will not disrespect me!"

"Oh Duke, can't you take a light hearted scolding? Is someone trying to admit that they are so easily offended by a young girl like me? You seem a little drunk!" exclaimed Qin Sheng.

Li Ang was secretly fuming. Naturally, he could not argue with Qin Sheng, or else he would admit that he had been beaten by a young girl...

Qin Yunting gave Li Ang an abalone pastry. Qin Sheng made Li Ang angry, so she wanted to let Li Ang know how virtuous and charming she was.

"Duke Li Ang, try our special snacks."

Li Ang lifted Qin Yunting's chin. "You're so virtuous, Yunting."

However, Li Ang's eyes were fixed on Qin Sheng's face. What made him unable to catch his breath was that the girl's eyes were filled with food and did not look at him once.

By being like this, who did he really want?

Qin Yunting's heart skipped a beat. She was finally praised by the Duke. She blushed and looked up at the man, only to realize that the man was looking at Qin Sheng!

Her face turned from red to white. Li Ang was still concerned about Qin Sheng! Not her...

Qin Sheng was completely unaware of the turmoil of the two people beside her. She continued to choose her food, and finally, her eyes fell on two items.

She was truly depressed. She loved to eat curry beef and black forest cake. However, the Qin family's rule was that there should be no leftovers. If she took two items, she would have to cut them in half for her weight loss plan. What could she do? if she did that there would be leftovers...

She bit her chopsticks and didn't know which to choose. Gong Mochen picked up half of his leftover curry beef and put it into Qin Sheng's bowl.

A***h! Uncle was so thoughtful. If she ate half of it, she would have the stomach to continue eating the black forest cake. How wonderful!

She took a bite of the curry beef and ate until her mouth was full of oil. She didn't forget to pick up a piece of black forest cake for Gong Mochen.

"Uncle, you eat some cake." Qin Sheng smiled like a Fox.

Gong mochen smiled slightly. It wasn't that she wanted him to eat it, it was clearly that she couldn't eat it herself. She wanted him to eat half of it for her first.

"My niece is so thoughtful. She knows how to be dutiful to her uncle. Raising her hasn't been a waste of time." Qin Zixian looked at them, putting on a false smile. She secretly felt it was an eyesore.

"Yes, Mochen, Qin Sheng was raised by you. We also know that you treat her as your daughter. But she's also grown up now. It's not convenient for her to be with you every day," said He Fen on behalf of her daughter.

"I'm afraid of sleeping alone!" said Qin Sheng, while chewing the food in her mouth.

"Then sleep with me tonight!" He Fen ordered.

Qin Sheng almost choked to death on the porridge she drank.

She didn't want to sleep with the old witch! Oh God... who would save her?
