To ensure his plan fulfilled, Zhong Shaoting thinks of Ding’s little brother, Ding Qi. The words coming out of a child’s mouth will not arouse others’ suspicion. Who would have thought that a child told lies?
Therefore, Zhong Shaoting makes use of his social connections to bribe servants in Ding’s house, and after which Song Chen, Zhong’s closest aide, sneaks in the house to bring Ding Qi out secretly. Song Chen doesn’t know what plans Zhong has, but he is clear that his boss won’t hurt the child. This is because he realizes Zhong’s passion for the boy’s sister, Ding Manman.
Ding Qi, who finally gets out of the house like a bird out of a cage flying freely in the sky, looks at the outside world and exclaims his freedom for escaping from the home where the atmosphere has been depressing him recently. When he looks the unfamiliar surroundings, the joy in his heart actually outweighs the fear, which makes him giggling.
It’s so unbelievable that Zhong Shaoting feels intimate with Ding Qi. The moment he sees Ding Qi’s smile, Zhong Shaoting actually feels somewhat guilty.
He speaks to Ding Qi, “You must be Ding Manman’s brother, Ding Qi. You are really a sweet boy.”
At this time, Ding Qi notices that there’s a handsome man standing by his side in addition to the man who has brought him out. Although fear starts to haunt him, he knows that a tough man will show no fear in front of strangers. Thus, he says boldly, “Who are you? You know my sister? And why did you bring me here?”
Looking at the boy who pretends to be brave, Zhong Shaoting cannot help laughing, and then comforts the boy in a good mood, “Don’t be afraid, relax, I’m your sister’s friend. She can’t come to visit you of late, so she asked me to take you out for fear that you feel bored at home.”
Hearing this, Ding Qi gradually loosens his vigilance and says, “What happened to my sister? I haven’t seen my sister for a long time, and could you take me to see her?”
At his words, Zhong Shaoting feels very surprised at the boy’s care and consideration. Ding Qi is so smart that he finds Zhong will not hurt him. His words relax Ding Qi and make him believe he is a good man. What’s more, Ding Qi is very concerned about Ding Manman, which deserves Ding’s care for him.
Zhong Shaoting cannot tell Ding Qi the truth, and Ding Manman definitely doesn’t want her brother to see her in the hospital, so he makes up an excuse, “A famous painter who is very interested in your sister’s paintings invited her to an exhibition abroad, so she is unable to come back for a long while. Today, I will take you out!”
Ding Qi naturally believes Zhong’s words, because his sister really liked painting in the past.
He doesn’t know why she has rarely painted at home in recent years, but this doesn’t mean that she gets bored of painting.
“That’s great news that my sister has finally found a way to realize her dreams.” Ding Qi exclaims.
His words capture Zhong’s attention. Zhong Shaoting asks, “Why do you say that?”
“It’s unbelievable that you, my sister’s friend, don’t know this.” Ding Qi says in puzzlement.
Zhong Shaoting smiles awkwardly and says, “I have seen your sister’s paintings by chance only once, and her paintings are really stunning.”
“Right! My sister is very talented at painting, and I remembered that she once told me her biggest dream was to be a famous painter so that the people all over the world would see her works.” Ding Qi recalls.
Hearing this, Zhong Shaoting swears in his heart that he must do his best to help Ding Manman achieve her dream. Last time, he hurt her and deprived her of the opportunity to achieve her dream. The past has happened and now he finally realizes his love for Ding Manman. He will help her regain everything she has lost before one by one.
Lifting his wrist and looking at his watch, he notices that it is two o’clock in the afternoon. Zhong Shaoting says to Ding Qi, “Let me call you Qiqi since now, I remember that’s what your sister called you. My job today is to play with you, and is there anywhere you want to go?”
Ding Qi shakes his head, wondering where he wants to go for fun.
Zhong Shaoting suggests, “Let’s go to the amusement park, shall we?”
Song Chen, who is standing nearby, feels incredible. Is this really Zhong Shaoting? When did he get along well with others easily? He even suggested to play in childish places like the amusement park where he refused to go since he was five or six years old. Huh, that’s so weird. Song Chen can’t help touching the goosebumps on the skin.
Noticing Song Chen’s reactions, Zhong Shaoting casts a glare at him as a warning: never tell anyone about this!
Noticing the warning in Zhong’s eyes, Song Chen shudders. Yes, this is the real boss he knew. everything that just happened is definitely an illusion. Yes, just an illusion.
Soon, they arrive at the amusement park. Ding Qi is having more fun than before in the company of Zhong Shaoting.
The sky is turning dark. Zhong Shaoting spends the whole afternoon with Ding Qi. Although he feels guilty of making use of the good boy, he has to gain the boy’s help.
“Qiqi, would you do me a favor?” This is the first time that Zhong Shaoting has asked help from others, not to mention a child. Is this reliable?
With a glance up at Zhong Shaoting, Ding Qi asks, “What is it?” Spending an afternoon together, he starts worshiping Zhong Shaoting. Now, his idol is asking for his help. Of course, he’ll definitely gives him a hand.
On second thoughts, Zhong Shaoting speaks, “I want you to call your sister’s friend, An Ya and tell her: it’s been a long time since your sister left home. There’s a millionaire who wants to invest in Ding’s company asked your sister to show up in business negotiation, but you can’t find your sister. Thus, you hope An Ya can take your sister’s place.”
Ding Qi realizes that his idol asks him to tell lies, and he asks, “Why I have to lie? A lying boy is bad!”
“This is just a white lie, which will not hurt your sister, nor will do harm to An Ya.” Zhong Shaoting patiently explains.
But Ding Qi still refuses to help him. How could a good boy lie to others?
Zhong Shaoting has no choice but to say, “This really matters to your sister, don’t you want to help your sister?”
After an afternoon staying with Ding Qi, Zhong Shaoting understands Ding Manman is a very important person to the boy. Using Ding Manman may help him get a 99% chance of success.
