Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I’ll be there to watch the children! Absolutely nothing will happen. Even if anything happens, hehehe, Ruwan will protect the children even at the cost of her life.” Wen Ruwan smiled without any notice of other people’s expressions.
Wei Ziqin and Qiao Zhongbang looked at each other. They felt like something was off about Wen Ruwan’s words.
Why did she say something so unlucky for no reason? Of course the children would be fine. What kind of frightening situation would they have to encounter to need you to protect them at the risk of your life?
Wei Ziqin frowned, displeasure flitting through her heart. She dryly nodded at the little white daisy before turning to her daughters with a smile as she watched them leave.
Qiao Zhongxing turned to his brother. “Eldest Brother, I don’t know what’s wrong with Mother today. She even excused herself from breakfast due to feeling unwell. How about the two of us visit her?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQiao Zhongbang nodded and said to his wife, “Ziqin, go back and rest. Second Brother and I will visit Mother.”
Then, the two brothers headed to their mother’s room together.
Elderly Lady was still full of vitality last night, so why did she suddenly feel unwell this morning? His daughter did not contradict her grandmother’s will yesterday, so what was there to be unwell about?
“Mother! Mother!!!” The two brothers knocked on the door to their mother’s bedroom. “Mother, can your sons enter?”
The elderly lady responded a moment later. “Ah, Zhongbang, Zhongxing, Mother’s fine. Mother’s head just aches a little, so Mother wants to sleep some more. Don’t disturb Mother.”
The two brothers met each other’s astonished gaze.
“Mother, why do you have a headache all of a sudden? Should I have Chang Zai go to the clinic in the city and invite a doctor back to examine Mother?”
Elderly Lady Qiao quickly answered in a slight panic. “N-no need! Ah, no need for the trouble! Mother will be fine after sleeping a little more. Alright, alright, go do your own thing, you two. Mother will be fine.”
Why did Mother feel so strange? Qiao Zhongbang and his brother quietly muttered before leaving abashedly.
On the other side, after the white daisy took the four children outside, she secretly peeked at Qiao Mu. “Qiaoqiao, it’s still early. Where do you want to go?”
“...”
The four children all maintained their silence.
Qiao Mu wore a taciturn and aloof face while Qiao Lin was too preoccupied with nibbling on the bun in her hand to respond to people.
Shaoyao was following her miss with her head lowered. Little Miss did not speak, so she naturally would not speak either. Qiao Hu was looking around everywhere, so he did not even hear the white daisy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThese four uncooperative children aggravated the white daisy profusely. She secretly cursed the Qiao Family for being lousy in their children’s discipline.
When the group left Pear Blossom Alley, they headed toward the main street. The lively atmosphere that assaulted them caused Qiao Hu to not have enough time to look at all the excitement, so he was even less inclined to listen to the white daisy’s pestering.
“Sister, eet! Eet flower!” Xiao Lin’er yelled nosily as she pointed her chubby finger at a stall on the side.
Qiao Mu followed her finger and saw that it was a stall selling silk flowers. She could not help but be exasperated by this girl.
“No more eating. Finish the bun in your hand. You aren’t allowed to eat again until dinner time. You eat so much. Look at how round your tummy is!” These days, the grains sold in street stalls were more expensive than gold. If people could not even afford coarse grains, how could they set up the finer snack stalls?
Xiao Lin’er pouted and silently returned to eating her bun.
Wen Ruwan approached the two sisters and extended her arms toward Qiao Mu ingratiatingly. “Qiaoqiao, Xiao Lin’er is quite heavy. You must be tired from holding her. How about I hold her for part of the way?”
“No need.” Qiao Mu dodged her arms and kept walking forward while holding Xiao Lin’er.
