Qiao Zhongbang quickly exhaled with relief when he saw his daughter. He walked toward her with large strides. “Qiaoqiao is awake! Let’s go. Your mother and the others are probably waiting at the dining room. Let’s head over there too.”
Could it be that Wen Ruwan also took out this supposed celestial pill in her previous life? She did not kidnap Father successfully but strengthened Grandmother’s desire to have her marry into the family?
Perhaps it was precisely because Father had the chance to recuperate his mystic meridians and become a mystic cultivator again that Wen Ruwan was willing to marry down to him?
Otherwise, what else could explain why this manipulative woman was willing to be a widowed man’s second wife?
Later, she was abducted by her “friend” and had all four of her limbs snapped broken and imprisoned to have her inner world studied day and night. Hence, she did not pay much attention to whether her father recovered and became a mystic cultivator again in the end.
However, these matters from her previous life were now pointless.
Because Wen Ruwan, this troublesome variable will be erased…
Qiao Mu sent Wen Ruwan a meaningful glance.
[Keep jumping around. You don’t have much time left!][a]
Then, she spun on her feet and followed her father toward the dining room.
Wen Ruwan shivered for no reason and furiously put away her white porcelain bottle. She secretly called Qiao Zhongbang “Unappreciative!” before angrily walking toward the dining room as well.
She did not have her breakfast yet, so she naturally could not take the children out on an empty stomach.
When Wen Ruwan reached the dining room, anger filled her stomach again. Qiao Zhongbang and Qiao Zhongxing were happily eating dinner with their family and completely treated her like an invisible person. They did not even bother greeting her.
Elderly Lady just happened to say she was not feeling well this morning, so her breakfast was taken to her room.
Wen Ruwan picked up her bowl and chopsticks and casually ate something all by herself. The more she ate, the more tasteless her food was.
Today’s breakfast was congee and mantou, so bland that she thought her mouth had lost its sense of taste.
Wen Ruwan knew that Wei Ziqin had a secret because she always saw Wei Ziqin locking herself in the kitchen and knocking around. Soon, good food like meat could “materialize” out of nowhere.
Wasn’t today’s breakfast too bland? She saw that girl, Xiao Lin’er, nibbling on some pastry that she had never seen before practically every day. Yet, that girl never knew she should share it. Wen Ruwan really did not know how Wei Ziqin raised her daughters. Each child she raised was more selfish and heartless than the one before.
Wen Ruwan secretly smacked her lips before lightly putting down the bowl and chopsticks on the table. No matter how much resentment she had inside, she still wore a very amiable and kind smile on her face. She looked at Qiao Mu and asked softly and ingratiatingly, “Qiaoqiao, should we head out earlier? We can even stroll around on the way there.”
Xiao Lin’er held a bun with both hands. She took a few bites before her eyes suddenly brightened and shot toward her sister. “Time to eet flower?”
“Pft…” Qiao Zhongxing unkindly chuckled.
Qiao Mu was also both amused and exasperated. She extended her arms toward Xiao Lin’er, and Xiao Lin’er immediately threw herself at Qiao Mu.
“Mom, Dad, Second Uncle, then we will leave now.” Qiao Mu stood up with her sister in her arms. There was nothing out of sorts about a tiny figure holding a tinier child. Instead, it made people smile.
“Qiaoqiao, be careful.” Mother patted her belly as she looked at the two sisters with a smile.
“Xiao Qiao, watch your two sisters, alright?” Second Uncle instructed with a chuckle.
“I know, Dad,” Qiao Hu excitedly answered. As soon as he thought about how he could soon go out and play, his heart flew away.
“Sir, Madam, don’t worry. Shaoyao will take good care of Young Master and the two misses.” Shaoyao walked over with a grin and stood next to Qiao Mu.
The white daisy also pretentiously smiled at Wei Ziqin. “Sister Ziqin, don’t worry.”
