"According to my analysis, what the eldest cares about isn’t how much money is in the red envelope, but more about wanting to tease us."

"But Candy, once the red envelope is gone, it’s really gone. That would be a huge loss for us."

Scratching his head, Candy thought seriously for a while and the more he thought, the more it made sense.

Especially when he thought of that look in his brother’s eyes, wanting to prank his sister.

"Hide it! We must hide it!" Candy’s eyes were resolute, his tone firm.

After frying a vegetable dish in the kitchen and bringing it to the dining table, Mo Jingchun looked at the empty hall and felt a bit puzzled.

The two little ones didn’t watch TV but ran upstairs. What are they doing?

Could they have really been scared by him and put the money in their piggy bank?

But it doesn’t make sense for Zero to do that! Zero isn’t short on money; he has millions in private savings down to the precise cent, he knows it by heart. From the financial reports, you can see it at a glance.

Shaking his head, Mo Jingchun didn’t think much of it, at most, it was just a total of four thousand bucks, not even what he earns in a second.

About ten minutes later, coming out of the kitchen again with a plate of food, Mo Jingchun saw the two little ones sitting on the sofa. He smiled and teased:

"I was just scaring you. I don’t care for your little bit of money."

"Mm-hmm, we believe you!"

Zero and Candy spoke in unison, but Mo Jingchun pursed his lips and turned to walk into the kitchen.

What a "we believe you!", can your facial expressions be any more exaggerated?

The disbelief is all over your face, and you’re still saying "we believe you."

What happened to the trust among people?

With all the dishes ready, Mo Jingchun removed his apron and casually hung it on a hook on the wall.

Seeing Candy and Zero chatting softly, Mo Jingchun called out:

"Candy, go call your sister for dinner, the food’s all ready."

"Oh~ got it, I’m going now."

After setting aside the dozen-pound bun in his arms, Candy whispered to Zero: "We’ll talk later, I’m going to call Sister for dinner."

"Okay."

At the bedroom door, Candy gently pushed it open. As soon as she entered, she saw her sister lying on the bed with wide eyes looking at her.

Seeing this, Candy blinked and innocently asked, "Sister, you weren’t asleep?"

"I just dozed off a bit, didn’t fall asleep. Has Brother already finished cooking?"

"Mm-hmm, and there’s meat soup. It smells so good."

Stretching lazily, Zhou Yaling sat up.

"I’ll come down after I get dressed. You guys start eating first."

"Sure!" Candy nodded and then eagerly turned and ran out.

She wasn’t lying earlier; Brother indeed made meat soup, and it smells delicious.

Meat soup should be eaten while it’s hot.

"Brother~"

"Brother~ Sister said she’ll come down soon, told us to start eating first."

Sitting down at the table, Candy, with her exclusive bowl and chopsticks, smiled and said to Brother:

"Dear Brother, please fill my bowl with meat soup. Love you!"

Mo Jingchun’s lips curled slightly as he took Candy’s bowl and, while ladling the soup, laughed and said:

"What happened today, your little mouth is as sweet as if smeared with honey."

"Nope, Guoguo loves Brother every day."

Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes, but inside he was quite pleased.

It was just a moment and after Candy drank half a bowl of meat soup, Zhou Yaling sluggishly walked out of the elevator.

"Still not feeling better yet?"

"Mm."

Mo Jingchun smiled, got up, and served Zhou Yaling a bowl of white rice.

"Following me to Xuanyu’s place, it has been hard on you too."

Zhou Yaling said weakly, "I still don’t understand why we didn’t take the highway yesterday when we went, but drove on the highway today. I’m a lot less carsick today."

Listening to Zhou Yaling grumble, Mo Jingchun innocently shrugged, passing the blame.

"You’ll have to ask Zero about that, the route was all arranged by Zero."

As he finished speaking, Zero, who was sitting on the sofa petting the cat and watching TV, turned and said:

"For safety, so some people can’t predict which road we’ll take each time."

It sounded reasonable, but Zhou Yaling frowned, feeling something was off.

"Let’s eat."

Mo Jingchun’s voice interrupted Zhou Yaling’s thoughts.

Whether it was psychological or not, after dinner, Zhou Yaling felt her waist didn’t hurt nor did her back, and she felt energized.

Early the next morning, as Mo Jingchun was getting ready to go back home today, he started organizing stuff bright and early.

Mo Jingchun pulled open the desk drawer, intending to get the front door key to the old home. Just as he opened the drawer, he noticed a red flash reflecting off the floor that the robot had just mopped in the morning.

Curious, Mo Jingchun bent down to take a look and immediately laughed.

Two identical red envelopes were taped to the back of the drawer. Whether it was Zero’s or Candy’s idea, it was sheer genius.

Under normal circumstances, Mo Jingchun wouldn’t have discovered it.

But thanks to the robot White’s excellent mopping, the floor was so clean it reflected light.

Without touching the red envelopes, Mo Jingchun pretended he hadn’t seen anything and reset the drawer.

Just as he stood up, surprisingly, Zero was already standing next to him without him noticing.

Zero had a face full of gloom.

"Eldest one, you saw it."

"This... was just an accident... besides, it’s not like I took it, I acted as if I didn’t see it."

Zero raised his eyebrows and said, "But you clearly saw it."

With a quick eye-roll, before Mo Jingchun, Zero removed the two red envelopes.

"Hmph, we’ll hide it somewhere else."

At this, Mo Jingchun casually spread his hands.

Following the elder out of the study, when the elder went downstairs to pack other items, Zero sneakily returned to the study and hid the red envelopes in the original spot.

That’s what it means by the most dangerous place is the safest place!

The eldest one would never think she’d hide the envelopes in the same place again.

"Hehe, big data doesn’t lie."

Giving a little giggle, Zero happily skipped over to Candy’s bedroom.

Just in time, Candy was waking up. After Zero relayed her recent experience, Candy was completely stunned.

Soon after, Candy looked at Zero with admiration.

"Zero, your mind really works fast. You’re right, Brother would never think of it."

"Hahaha."

At that moment, the door swung open, startling Candy, who was laughing.

Upon seeing it was their sister, both Candy and Zero breathed a sigh of relief.

Candy thought to herself, "Good thing it’s not Brother."

By 8:30, Mo Jingchun packed a full box of sausages into the trunk, dusted off his hands, and said with a smile:

"Alright, I’m going to wash my hands, you guys get in the car first."

"Brother, I want to wash my hands too."

"Cold water, you still want to wash?"

"Ah?! Never mind, my hands are clean."
