Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Who Dares to Fire You?
Lin Qi got into the car and fastened her seatbelt.
She looked at Huo Tingdong and suddenly said, “I had an argument with my boss today.”
Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow: “Qi Lichuan?”
Lin Qi shook her head: “No. He has always been nice to me. It’s Maeve, do you know her?”
Huo Tingdong didn’t recognize the name: “No idea.”
She might be one of Qi Lichuan’s team leaders. There are so many teams in the project; he couldn’t possibly remember all the names.
Lin Qi said meaningfully: “You know I came back late from lunch today? She tattled on me to my supervisor, deducted my bonus and perfect attendance, and even stirred up trouble to Qi Lichuan, urging him to fire me. I told her I went out to eat with my fiancé, and she accused me of misusing work time for personal dates and thoroughly scolded me.”
Huo Tingdong couldn’t help but laugh: “Oh?”
Lin Qi said: “I don’t know why, but she really has it in for me, as if she can’t wait to kick me out of the team and fire me.”
Huo Tingdong started the car and pinched her cheek: “What’s there to fear? No one can fire you except me.”
Lin Qi asked: “Would you fire me, boss?”
Huo Tingdong smiled at her.
Her adorable look was truly endearing, making him unable to resist leaning over and gently kissing her lips: “No way. In the future, you’re going to be my boss.”
Lin Qi couldn’t help but giggle: “What if she goes around saying that I rely on my boyfriend for support and cause trouble at work because I have connections, what should I do?”
Huo Tingdong said: “Then you tell her, your backing is Huo Tingdong.”
Lin Qi said: “No way! I want to keep a low profile and stay out of trouble.”
Huo Tingdong said: “If she bullies you again, I’ll fire her.”
He doesn’t like having employees who provoke disruptions.
Lin Qi said: “Anyway, I didn’t lose out today. Whether she says I’m skipping work or slacking off, I told her, since I lost my perfect attendance bonus, I’m going to skip work every day and go on dates with my boyfriend!”
Huo Tingdong said: “From now on, I’ll have the cafeteria deliver lunch to my office and you can eat there with me.”
As he spoke, he suddenly handed her an elevator card: “It goes to the president’s office, there are two elevators. This is the elevator card, you can come find me anytime you want.”
Lin Qi uttered an “Oh”: “Okay!”
She liked this kind of “special treatment”!
After all, the cafeteria was too crowded, and if timing was bad, it was hard to find a seat.
Now that she was pregnant, she doesn’t like crowded places, so such special arrangements were perfect.
Back home.
As soon as Lin Qi opened the door, she smelled a delicious aroma wafting through.
She walked into the dining room and saw that Momo had prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
She was a bit surprised, her eyes widened at the sight of the feast, drooling with desire.
Just as drooling with desire was Han.
Han sat at the table, staring intently at the delicious dishes, as if a little glutton was about to crawl out of his mouth.
But he didn’t dare “make any rash moves”.
After all, Momo had warned him, they were to wait for Daddy and Mommy to come back and eat together!
Lili sat next to him, and seeing Lin Qi came back, she sweetly called out: “Aunt Qiqi, Uncle Tingdong!”
As soon as Han saw Lin Qi and Huo Tingdong finally come back, he raised his hands in cheer: “Mommy’s back!”
He completely ignored Huo Tingdong behind Lin Qi.
All he could think about was: Daddy and Mommy are back, he could finally start eating!
Suddenly, Momo popped her head out from the kitchen: “Han, no sneaking a taste!”
Scared, Han pulled his hand back and asked: “Momo, when can I eat?”
He was so hungry his little belly was almost flattening!
Momo said, “You’re just dying to have it, aren’t you? Can’t you wait for me a bit?”
He was still in the midst of finishing his cake.
Lin Qi walked into the kitchen curiously, looking at the “semi-finished” cake Momo was making.
Since getting back from school, he had been busy in the kitchen non-stop.
It was Han’s birthday today, and surprisingly, Momo was making a half fondant cake.
The base of the cake was a traditional cream cake, and on top of it, he used fondant to make sugar figurines of the whole family, making all five of them.
Mommy, Lili, he and Han.
Huo Tingdong’s sugar figurine was the last to be made.
When Lin Qi walked in, she saw Momo holding a pen, dipping it in icing, and coloring the sugar figurines.
He shaped Huo Tingdong with a round chubby face and a plump body. The man who was cold and authoritative in real life, after being turned into a sugar figurine, appeared cute and naive.
But the key was, he captured Huo Tingdong’s characteristics accurately; one could tell at a glance that it was strikingly lifelike.
Especially those serious brows and eyes, which, while looking cute, also appeared quite fierce.
Huo Tingdong also entered the kitchen, and immediately recognized that Momo was working on a fondant cake, finishing the coloring for his sugar figurine.
Momo was completely unaware that Huo Tingdong was standing right behind him.
Suddenly, the man’s displeased voice sounded overhead: “Why did you make me look so fierce?”
Momo was startled by his sudden questioning, and his hand trembled, causing the pen with icing to draw a crooked mouth on Huo Tingdong’s sugar figurine.
Thus, Huo Tingdong’s sugar figurine visibly had a twisted mouth!
Huo Tingdong: “…”
Momo: “…”
Momo turned around speechlessly, looking at Huo Tingdong, “Why would you stand behind me silently like a ghost? You scared me.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Are you that easily scared?”
Momo responded confidently, “Scaring someone might scare them to death.”
Huo Tingdong pointed at the sugar figurine in his hand, “Why did you make me look so fierce? So ugly?”
“Ugly?”
Momo held the sugar figurine in his hand, looked at it from different angles, compared it with the real person, and sincerely expressed his opinion, “I think it looks a lot like you. You’re always keeping a straight face.”
Huo Tingdong: “…”
Is that so?
In Momo’s eyes, was he always like this, unsmiling and looking fierce?
Shortly after, the cake was finished.
Aside from Huo Tingdong’s mouth being crooked, Momo was quite satisfied with his own masterpiece!
Momo carried the cake out of the kitchen.
Han had been looking forward to it for a long time!
The moment he saw Momo carry out such an exquisite cake, he cheered, “Momo, I love you!”
Not until Momo placed the cake on the table, Han leaned over the table, staring intently at the cake, and began to point out, “This is Mommy, this is Momo, this is Lili, this is me…”
Until—he noticed Huo Tingdong’s crooked mouth.
Han’s little head popped up with a large question mark, confused, “Is this Daddy?”
Momo teased, “Does it look like him?”
Han looked at Huo Tingdong, then back at the sugar figurine.
Huo Tingdong asked, “Han, is Daddy really that ugly?”
Han, in desperation, scratched his head, at a loss for how to answer.
