“Ziming, forget it……”


  Even though she knew that the man was merely trying to back her up, she could only give in when she heard Ji Chi’s hoarse voice from incessant crying.

  “Miss Qu, no matter what, I’m still very grateful that you came. Thank you.”


  She smiled at the lady sincerely.

  “This is nothing.”


  Qu Jingwan awkwardly pressed her lips together as she took in the sight of her calmly smiling.

  Despite not liking this woman, she was actually truly envious of her. That was because the latter had a man who loved and protected her so much. If……

  The latter smiled and led her to the boy’s room.

  “Waaahh!”


  Pei Ge felt her heart shatter even more when the child’s voice grew hoarser.

  As for the child whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, when he saw Qu Jingwan, he stopped bawling at once as his eyes lit up.

  “Mommy, hugs!”


  The little child opened his arms wide as he looked at her pitifully.

  “You child……”


  The lady hurried over and carried him.

  The sight of the two affectionately hugging each other stung the eyes of the boy’s mother.

  Although it was her decision to call this lady over, she still felt awful upon witnessing the sight.

  “Mommy, don’t be sad. Big brother and I will be by your side.”


  “Yes, younger brother will recover one day.”


  An An and Ran Ran held her hands consolingly while leaning their small frames on her.

  She felt slightly better at their comforting.

  Her heart slowly settled and felt more relieved the boy falling asleep under the other lady’s coaxing.

  She held mixed emotions as she regarded the latter.

  “Thank you, Miss Qu.”


  She expressed her gratitude rather gracefully.

  “This is nothing. You can say that I’ve watched him grow.”


  The other nodded her head with a light smile.

  To this, she thought,

  Still, these were all merely her thoughts.

  “It’s already quite late, so I’ll go back now. Rest early, too.”


  Qu Jingwan looked at her watch as she yawned in fatigue as it was almost 3 AM.

  Seeing that it was the wee hour already outside, Pei Ge frowned and turned to address the man.

  “It’s already the wee hour. Why don’t we have Miss Qu stay over for tonight?” She suggested.

  “Mhm.” The man nodded uncaringly.

  After receiving his reply, she turned to face the woman and, as though the mistress of this household, suggested, “Seeing the time, just sleep over here for today in one of the guest rooms.”


  The missy’s reply caused her to stiffen, alas.

  “Alright, but I won’t be staying in a guest room as I have a room here.”
