The Female Lead Has No Cheats
Chapter 74: Helping in Secret (1)

Lin Yueqi saw Lu Ting frowning and standing still, staring at her.

The chubby girl grabbed his fingers and pulled them, shouting, “Papa, Papa! Carry me! Tuantuan’s tired of standing.”

But as if Mr. Lu did not hear her, he continued staring at Lin Yueqi.

The main lowered his eyes and a cold hum was emitted from his throat. “How…considerate of you.”

“Of course! I have professional ethics. If I’m gonna be your landlord, I’ll have to make sure I’m a good one.” Lin Yueqi beckoned to the housemaid she hired over to clean up around the courtyard. “Aunt Wang, come over for a bit.”

Aunt Wang immediately put down what she was holding and walked towards Lin Yueqi. She bowed to her and Lu Ting and gave them the signature housemaid smile.

Lin Yueqi took Aunt Wang’s hand and introduced her to Lu Ting. “Now don’t call me an unreliable landlord. Naturally, if you’re paying me 800,000 bucks in rent I’ll have to offer you the five-star package. This is the housekeeper I hired for you. She’s really good at cooking. Also, her husband is the chef of a five-star hotel! In the future, Aunt Wang and her husband will come to clean up and take care of your food and drink. How is it? Am I thoughtful or not?”

The corners of Lu Ting’s lips curved into a domineering president smile. “Heh.”

Patting his shoulder, Lin Yueqi continued, “I can come stay for two days when Tuantuan’s staying here. I’ve already discussed it with Tuantuan. I’ll only accompany her here for two days each month, so you don’t have to worry. I won’t disturb you two on your father and daughter paradise and snatch away Tuantuan’s love from you.”

For the first time, Lu Ting understood what it felt like to be played by Lin Yueqi.

He stared at her with a blank expression.

The man’s aggressive gaze almost looked like he wanted to eat her up. Lin Yueqi felt a little puzzled and asked, “So, what other requests does Mr. Lu have? I’ll try my best to satisfy them.”

Lu Ting had nowhere to vent the anger rising up in his stomach but he raised his arm, creating a shadow above Lin Yueqi’s head.

Lin Yueqi thought that this guy was going to self-destruct his male lead image and hit her, and she was so scared that her shoulders stiffened instantly, and she closed her eyes.

But very soon, she felt someone…squeezing her cheek!!!

She carefully opened her eyes and looked straight at the man who was pinching her cheek.

Lin Yueqi, “…” Well damn, isn’t this foul play? What the hell, it’s not like she’s a chubby girl.

But the man didn’t seem affected by it at all. While pinching her cheek, he said in a very domineering president tone, “Heh.”

Lin Yueqi slapped his arm away and rubbed her cheek that was red from the pinching, mumbling, “Will you take responsibility if my face gets fat?”

Then, she flicked her ponytail to her back and strode into the house.

Tuantuan and Lu Ting turned to watch her leave before turning at the same time to look at each other.

The little girl lifted her head, while Lu Ting looked down.

Tuantuan asked, “Papa, do you know why Mama’s not willing to stay with you?”

“Huh?”

Tuantuan explained, “Because…Because…”

While speaking, the girl looked down and poked her fingertips nervously. Pouting, she said, “Because…Because Mama says distance produces charm. She’s worried you’ll find out that she snores and talks in her sleep. That’s why…”

Lu Ting was confused. “Did I ever say I was going to sleep in the same bed as her?”

Tuantuan scratched her head and wondered, “Are you two not going to?”

Lu Ting understood.

Turns out Lin Yueqi’s struggling with her appearances as an idol in front of him. She’s worried that he’ll discover her snoring and sleep talking habits after they share the same bed.

Only

But why doesn’t he remember Lin Yueqi having those habits? Could it be a habit that only developed these recent years?

But he could understand now when he heard Tuantuan saying this.

Girls always had their complexes, and they worried more too.

Tuantuan gave his knees a light punch with her meaty fist and said, “Papa, don’t tell Mama, Tuantuan’s going to tell you a secret. Mama said not to tell you.”

Lu Ting crouched down and held his daughter, petting her head and said in a moved tone, “Tuantuan is such a good girl. You have to tell Papa anytime something happens with your Mama, okay?”

“Then, is Papa hiding anything from me and Mama?”

Lu Ting smiled and shook his head no.

But in truth, he really was hiding things from them.
