103 103 Cooking
Tan Rou looked at her brother who was lying through his teeth and couldn’t help but laugh.
Tao Qi felt even angrier but he was afraid that he might disturbed the other which was why he could only lower his voice and threatened Tan Rou, “Are you mocking me? It’s all your fault for making me this hungry! If you dare to tell on me, I’ll …”
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. “What will you do about it?”
Tao Qi thought for a long time but he didn’t know how to threaten Tan Rou. He could only say, “I’ll get my grandma to deal with you!”
Tan Rou pretended to be afraid and patted her chest. “That really scared me to death.”
Tao Qi was so angry that his little chest heaved up and down and his eyes turned red.
Tan Rou knew that the person who doted on Tao Qi the most in the entire Tao family was his grandmother, who lived in another city.
Due to how unruly Tan Rou was in her previous life, she didn’t have much contact with her grandmother.
However, Tao Qi grew up being drowned in his grandmother’s love. When the old lady doted on Tao Qi, even his parents couldn’t do anything about it. This was also why Tao Qi had dared to go against Tan Rou in his previous life.
With his grandmother, who was one level older than his parents, having his back, Tao Qi could do whatever he wanted. It was also because of this that no matter how naughty Tao Qi was, Tan Jing would avoid getting into trouble with him and even pretended to love him. In reality, she was using Tao Qi to do whatever she wanted to achieve her own goals and also gained benefits from it.
Tao Qi didn’t want to eat anymore after seeing Tan Rou. He snorted coldly and put on a long face. He put away all the snacks and wanted to go back to his room.
Tao Qi looked at Tan Rou, who was blocking the aisle, with a face full of disgust. “Move aside!”
Tan Rou didn’t move. She just stood there and looked at Tao Qi with a smile on her face.
This made Tao Qi feel as if Tan Rou was deliberately provoking him. He was so angry that he reached out his chubby little hand and pushed Tan Rou hard. He was ready to deal with this horrible woman.
Tan Rou didn’t expect this little brat to be so strong. She staggered from the push but she still reached out and grabbed Tao Qi’s collar.
Tao Qi stood where he was, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, but still couldn’t break free from Tan Rou. His face was like a small red apple as he glared at tan Rou with his big, watery eyes. “How dare you bully me?! I’m going to call for help! Let mom and dad teach you a lesson!”
Tan Rou narrowed her eyes slyly. “Oh? Go ahead and shout. We shall let them know who was stealing snacks from the kitchen.”
Tao Qi was furious. If he wasn’t afraid of being criticized by his parents, he would have asked for food a long time ago. Why would he come here and have to secretly have snacks instead? Besides, he had just argued with his mother and so he couldn’t ask for her help.
The more Tao Qi thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He actually began to cry with large droplets of tears rolling down his cheeks.
Tan Rou blinked and felt a little embarrassed. This little brat was too easily teased. Why was he crying?
Tao Qi cried harder and harder and began to sob. Tan Rou frowned and reached out to pinch Tao Qi’s mouth. She coaxed him, “Alright, stop crying. You don’t want to alarm mom and dad, right?”
Tao Qi’s vision was hazy as his eyes were covered with tears. Tan Rou was pinching his cheeks and now he was like a little bun with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to bite Tan Rou to death.
Tan Rou laughed, thinking that Tao Qi was quite cute after he had shut his mouth.
Then, Tan Rou asked again, “You haven’t had your fill, have you? I’ll make you some food, what do you think about that?”
Tao Qi stopped sobbing and looked at tan Rou in a daze. This woman was going to cook for him? Was she trying to poison him? Besides, he didn’t care about her cooking. It must be terrible!
Tao Qi showed great reluctance and began to struggle.
Tan Rou was not in a hurry and patiently guided him. “Do you want to go back to your room starving and let your poor stomach growl all night or do you want some hot food? If I were you, I’d make a smarter decision. If you continue to starve, how would you have the energy to fight me?”
As she said this, Tao Qi’s stomach just happened to grumble again. These snacks weren’t enough to fill up his stomach. Plus, he didn’t get to eat much before he got caught by Tan Rou.
Tan Rou chuckled. “Don’t worry. The poison won’t kill you. You should stop your stomach from growling. If you really don’t want to, then there’s nothing I can do. Anyway, you’re the one who’s hungry. I’m happy to be free from here so that I can go back to my room and play.”
Tao Qi’s rebellious heart was aroused.
It was Tan Rou who had caused him to skip dinner. Why was she allowed to go back to her room to play when he was starving?!
He had to torment her! He would pick on her till he was satisfied. He did not want to admit that he was actually feeling hungry.
Tan Rou saw that Tao Qi was wavering and smiled smugly. “Promise me that you will stop crying and keep quiet. Nod your head if you can do so.”
Tao Qi rolled his eyes at Tan Rou but he still nodded in dissatisfaction.
