“You went back on your word!” Qi Chen said. Although he was afraid, he still stared straight at Qi Heng.

“So?” Qi Heng raised an eyebrow as he looked at the black thing in Qi Chen’s arms.

“That’s why I want you to know that you have to pay the price for breaking your promise!”

Qi Heng approved of his son’s courage, but this was taking it a tad far.

“Pay the price for breaking my promise?” Qi Heng raised his brows, his gaze never leaving the dark thing.

Qi Chen paused for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Yes…”

“Hmph!” Qi Heng chuckled before saying, “Go and put away this ugly thing of yours first. Otherwise, I’ll make it appear on the dining table tonight!”

Qi Heng’s casual words made Qi Chen panic.

He hurriedly grabbed his precious pet and ran away.

Before the old butler could remind him, he remembered his etiquette.

Qi Chen turned around and bowed deeply to Qi Heng. “I’ll leave first!”

Qi Chen then ran back to his room.

It was not easy for him to get Lin Mo to help him obtain his pet snake

Qi Chen had even agreed to Qi Heng’s request to take the Grade 10 piano test.

When he returned to his room, Qi Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He looked down at the treasure in his arms, which was stretching its head out to take a breather.

“Finally safe!” Qi Chen said as he let go of it, allowing his pet to roam freely in the room.

…

“Butler Qin, I think you should give me an explanation for what happened today.”

Qi Heng sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the remnants of items destroyed by the snake on the floor.

Butler Qin sighed and took a step forward. “You promised Little Young Master that you would allow him to participate in the listed activities of the subsidiary company today.”

Qi Heng frowned slightly. “Really?”

“Little Master has been looking forward to it for a few days.”

“But, I heard that you went alone today. You even asked him to complete all the homework that the home tutor had arranged at home…”

Butler Qin sighed as he defended Qi Chen.

“That’s why Little Master felt that you went back on your words and did this.”

Qi Heng rested a hand on his chin and thought for a moment before saying, “It’s just a small matter.”

“It seems like I should tighten my discipline with him!”

“No, no, no! Master! You’re already very… strict with Little Master’s butler!”

Butler Qin swallowed the word “harsh” and glanced at Qi Heng’s reaction.

Qi Heng did not seem to do anything else, so Butler Qin ventured to continue.

“Young Master is still young. Actually, he should have more activities outside of the curriculum.”

Qi Heng fell into deep thought when he heard Butler Qin’s words.

In his memory, Qi Chen seemed to have been associated with all kinds of studies since he was young. He had inherited almost all of his excellent genes, so he was very familiar with all kinds of subjects.

“An activity outside of the curriculum?” Qi Heng turned to Butler Qin. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t expect me to bring him to a childish place like the amusement park!”

When Butler Qin heard this, he could not help but shout in his heart: This father and son pair are simply replicated from the same gene!

Back then, Butler Qin was worried that Qi Chen would put all his focus on his studies, which would cause a psychological burden.

He even persuaded Qi Chen to work and rest well. If he wanted to go to the zoo or amusement park, all he had to do was to say it.

In the end, Qi Chen really made a special request…

He asked for a computer to access the internet.

Since then, as long as he completed his homework, he spent most of his time in front of the computer.

It was also because of this that when Butler Qin found out that Qi Chen wanted a King Snake, he did everything he could to get Lin Mo to get it for him.

Even if it meant getting into trouble with Qi Heng, it was better than grooming the little master into a fool!

But later, Butler Qin realized that he was wrong.

One day, when Qin Sheng came to deliver something to Qi Chen and accidentally entered his room to see the contents on the computer, Butler Qin realized that Qi Chen had been investing in stocks and was very talented at it!

However, Qi Chen asked Butler Qin and Qin Sheng not to mention anything about this matter to anyone!

Butler Qin understood Qi Chen well. He must have felt that if he told Qi Heng, that domineering father would definitely put a stop to it.

No matter how Butler Qin tried to serve as the mediator, they could not get along like a father and son .

Butler Qin could only hope that one person could change this situation..
