Raising You This Small Stuff

Chapter 22.1 Du Du is super witty╭(╯^╰)╮

Mo Yi Cheng browsed through the photos repeatedly in an unperturbed manner while saying calmly and freely: “Since this is a negotiation, both sides must put forward their opinions, discuss together and finally come up with a result that is acceptable to both sides.”

After he finished saying this, he saw Yuan Suo’s eyes widen with conviction.

Mo Yi Cheng was so professional! He shook his head, Mo Yi Cheng was now his opponent, he had to calm down! He had to force himself to look at Mo Yi Cheng as a negotiating opponent, as an enemy, so as not to be confused!

“En.” Yuan Suo agreed.

Mo Yi Cheng looked at Yuan Suo’s serious expression and couldn’t help being amused. He was probably finally seeing a more vivid expression on this overly well-behaved face.

“Then, let’s get started.” Mo Yi Cheng used a motion that was commonly used at the negotiation table, his aura becoming completely bitingly cold.

Yuan Suo thought for a while, then went to the side and took the small chair used for painting and sat on it, his small face tight, full of seriousness. If it hadn’t been for the fact that he was wearing a one-piece bunny pajamas, he would really have the temperament that was used at negotiation tables.

The air froze for a few seconds.

Yuan Suo finally couldn’t help it and spoke tentatively, deliberately lowering his voice to appear mature, “My…. my opinion is to not to delete the photos.”

Mo Yi Cheng was non-committal, “My opinion is to delete.” The last one.

“Um… I, I stand by my opinion, to not delete the photos.” He copied Mo Yi Cheng, also putting his two hands together, but he couldn’t cross his small short legs, so he could only give up.

Mo Yi Cheng suppressed the smile at the corners of his mouth, “Then what bargaining chips are you using in this exchange?”

“I… ” Yuan Suo choked, suddenly realizing that he didn’t seem to have any bargaining chips to use to negotiate with Mo Yi Cheng. What he ate and what he used, even the hope of survival had been given to him by Mo Yi Cheng.

Mo Yi Cheng also didn’t intend to make things too difficult for the little guy. If he teased him too much, he himself wouldn’t feel much better.

“How about this, since you can’t think of a particularly good bargaining chip, why don’t I help you think of one?” Mo Yi Cheng guided patiently.

Hmm! So good, Mo Yi Cheng was really good! Yuan Suo couldn’t help but praise him again, but his little face was still tense, he had to maintain the seriousness of the negotiation!

“Please… go ahead.” He straightened his back, copying the appearance of the superboss that he had practiced in acting class.

Mo Yi Cheng also pretended to be serious, but after thinking about it, he realized surprisingly that he didn’t have anything to ask of him. Du Du had many advantages, he was kind, innocent, and cute, but he also had a lot of small shortcomings… He froze for a moment, was there any? It seemed…. everything was very good.

“You…” He slowly spoke.

Yuan Suo listened carefully.

“Is there anything you’d like me to ask of me?”

Huh? Yuan Suo’s originally tense nerves turned around a little. Wasn’t Mo Yi Cheng helping him to think of ‘bargaining chips’, how come he was asking him what he wanted?

“No… nothing.”

“There is really nothing?” He knew that sometimes he didn’t do well, and that there were a lot of things that the little thing was afraid to speak to him about.

“No.” He said sincerely, “Mo Yi Cheng is the best person I have ever met and who has treated me as well as my mother.”

Mo Yi Cheng raised his hand and tapped the screen twice. Yuan Suo felt a warm touch on his forehead and raised his head, his face blossoming into an incomparably sunny smile.

It seems that this negotiation was destined to have no winners, and of course, no losers.

But now that the game had started, there had to be a result.

Mo Yi Cheng thought about it and said, “Let’s do it this way, if you promise me one thing, you can keep nine of the photos.” The movie emperor who was still trying to delete that photo, stated his condition.

Yuan Suo thought about it, the ten photos, he couldn’t bear to delete any of them….

“That, I want to bargain!” He got up from his chair, feeling that the time had come to use his talent for negotiation.

“……” Mo Yi Cheng was a little surprised, then pursed his thin lips, “Alright.”

“The ten photos should be kept, I….. I can promise three requests!” Yuan Suo bargained generously then looked at Mo Yi Cheng expectantly, seemingly very satisfied with his own wit.

Mo Yi Cheng shifted his position slightly, picked up the pen on the table and turned it deliberately, his handsome eyebrows slightly grave, as if he was thinking, but the corners of his mouth had risen at a faintly undetectable angle beneath the shadows.

“Alright.”

“Huh… ” Mo, Mo Yi Cheng agreed? That was really great! His two small fists that were crossed over his chest shook slightly twice.

Mo Yi Cheng: “Then let’s talk about the requests now.”

Being able to keep the photos, Yuan Suo was satisfied, nodding happily. In fact, if it wasn’t that they were talking about conditions, anything that Mo Yi Cheng asked of him, he would do, so whether it was three or thirty three hundred requests, he could do it all! (:з”∠) he was really super witty!

Chapter 22.2 Du Du is super witty╭(╯^╰)╮

Mo Yi Cheng thought for a moment, then said, “The first request, you can only eat a maximum of two boxes of ice cream per week.” This little thing was recently obsessed with Turkish ice cream, eating a box almost every day. If he didn’t give it to him to eat he would just look at him with those eyes and he really couldn’t defend himself against them, so he allowed him to eat it every two days, but he was still worried about it hurting his stomach and teeth.

Ice cream… can’t… can’t be eaten casually anymore? O….. okay. Yuan Suo nodded. Then he waited for Mo Yi Cheng to mention the second request.

Mo Yi Cheng put the pen in his hand down and said, “The remaining two… let’s save it first.” He couldn’t think of it now, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t think of it later.

“It’s okay to save it.” Yuan Suo didn’t express the slightest objection.

And so the battle of wits and negotiations ended. Mo Yi Cheng left the study, took Yuan Suo back to the bedroom, urged him to take a shower, brush his teeth, told him he wasn’t allowed to browse through weibo again, and that he should go to bed early.

Mo Yi Cheng was reading a magazine for a while when he saw that Yuan Suo had fallen asleep. He was curled up into a ball with only his small face exposed and he seemed to be having a beautiful dream, a smile on his face. So, he couldn’t resist… and took a picture.

After taking a shower, Chen Jiao lay in bed, tossing and turning. Normally he didn’t eat dinner at this time until his stomach screamed with hunger then he would usually drink a few mouthfuls of water to tide him over. However today, probably because of his emotions, he not only wasn’t hungry, there was even a feeling of revulsion. He touched his belly, it seemed to be a little bit smaller, and the change in his weight on the scale also made him more confident day by day.

It was just today that Qian He had pointed to his nose and scolded him, and he who thought that he had become incomparably strong inside a long time ago felt a little bit of a sting.

Now things had become so big and he had also involved Mo Yi Cheng. It was possible that the company would eventually replace him. He had already started to think about where he should go if he left his job. When he had entered the entertainment industry, it was with a dream, but after so many years, the little drive that he’d had been polished off.

He let his imagination run wild until it was nearly dawn before he finally mustered the courage to turn on his phone again and open Weibo.

As a result, he was surprised to find that things had already taken a big turn!

The water army that had previously sprayed him as a damn fat man with a couple of conspiracy theories thrown in had disappeared after a short video was used as ironclad evidence. The netizens who were following the twists and turns of the plot were excited. More than anything else, they were pointing at Qian He, disappointed at him.

“Qian He, this type of person, it’s better if he gets out of the entertainment industry!”

“He is really a real drama queen, a thief shouting to catch a thief!”

“I’m not his fan anymore, you can take it as I was blind before.”

“The little fatty has suffered an undeserved disaster.”

“Maybe my He He may have also been framed!”

Occasionally there were one or two comments that said they felt distressed for the fatty.

Chen Jiao was naturally happy that his innocence had been proven, but no matter how he looked at it, it was as if the video had been shot from his perspective, moreover it should have been with Mo Yi Cheng’s treasured phone.

Someone also discovered this and tried to discuss why Mo Yi Cheng’s assistant was able to record a video in such an emergency, and whether there was any conspiracy behind it, but at this point, everyone’s attention was basically drawn to the twisted clown-like Qian He, so it had few replies and likes.

In the end, the matter ended with Qian He issuing a formal apology.

He didn’t attend the release conference of the new film, and the PR also tried to avoid mentioning his name. The good thing was that his role didn’t have a lot of appearances, however many of the viewers still met the new film with high enthusiasm because of Mo Yi Cheng.

A few days later, it was rumored that Qian He’s good resources had been snatched away by another rising star, and some even said the producer had to replace him because of his notoriety.

In the meantime, Du Du had been upgraded again!

The system sent a message that because of his wise and kind act, getting a good result after getting rid of evil and promoting good in the real world, his level had jumped directly from 3 to 8.

Yuan Suo was so happy that he rolled around on the bed, causing the new Totoro one-piece fur pajamas that Mo Yi Cheng had bought for him to make him look even more… plump and round.

He had two more levels to go before he could have a new skin and regain his original appearance! At the same time, the system also opened up a nearby park as an active area for him.
