C165 (2/2)

She was not worthy of the Manager Ling. Forget about other things, she felt ashamed of letting someone like the Madam Xu become the family of the inn. She did not know what kind of trouble she would bring to the inn in the future.

The stepmother was very, very bold and powerful. She was also very tyrannical in the village, and no one dared to provoke her. As a result, she was only watching as she was beaten.

It seemed alright, but there were some people who took this as a form of entertainment. They would gloat as they tried to dissuade their stepmother. They would purposely poke at her sore spot, further infuriating her and making her beat them up.

The painful experience made her feel nauseous. Xiaowan suddenly realized what she was thinking. No matter what she thought about, even if there was only one day left, she would cherish the days she spent in the inn.

Seeing Little Pei looking at her anxiously, she laughed: ”Let's go to the back of the mountain to pick some wild herbs and catch some bugs to play with.”

Little Pei cheered as he dragged Xiaowan and walked towards the back of the mountain.

Ling Chaofeng caught up to them and stood at the back door watching them. He was extremely worried as the young and old duo drilled their way into the mountains.

”You're worried, so go take a look.” Aunt Zhang, who was picking rice, stood behind him and said faintly, ”What's the use of staring at them?”

Ling Chaofeng looked at her, at a loss of what to do.

Aunt Zhang laughed: ”You see, put on clean clothes, eat rice for two days, and you will be like a fairy. This kind of beautiful daughter is only hidden in the village and no one sees her, otherwise, everyone will love her, when the time comes you won't be able to snatch her away.”

Ling Chaofeng's expression was solemn, he held back for a long time before asking, ”If you come to propose marriage, do you want to invite a matchmaker?”

Aunt Zhang laughed: ”If you nod your head, I will help you with everything. However, you must first ask the lady if she is willing. You have a three year old chubby boy to take care of here. ”

Ling Chaofeng thought about it, then followed the two of them into the mountain.

In the mountain top, Xiaowan had already picked some wild vegetables, but Little Pei who had grabbed the bugs ran over to her side, tugging at her skirt to ask her to take a look.

Xiaowan looked up, and sure enough, there was a bird nest on the tree, with a few birds chirping inside the nest.

Little Pei carefully held up the young bird. ”Aunt, let's put it back.”

Xiaowan stood on her tiptoes and reached out her hands, but she couldn't even touch a branch. She said: ”Little Pei, let Aunt hug you, and try if you can.”

Normally, she would be able to carry firewood with a bit of strength, but she was really small, and her strength was limited. In the end, she was still short of that final breath, and was already sweating profusely.

Suddenly, his arms loosened, and Little Pei was carried away. Xiaowan raised her head and saw that Ling Chaofeng had appeared out of nowhere.

carefully put the little chick back down and counted. He happily said, ”There are five birds, there are five.”

Ling Chaofeng took the chance and put his son on his shoulder, telling her to pick the white and tender flowers on the tree. Little Pei was clever, he immediately put the flowers on Xiaowan.

Xiaowan blushed. She touched the pear blossoms on her temples and felt her heartbeat increase.

It was as if she had asked the young brother of the Wang family next door to pick her flower because she had a flower on her head. The Aunt Wang thought that she was trying to seduce her son.

Now the father and son had put the flowers back on her.

”Aunt is so beautiful.” Little Pei clapped his hands, and Ling Chaofeng told him to pick a little more, and to put it on for his Grandmother and Aunt Susu later.

Little Pei was flustered, Ling Chaofeng despised his son for being stupid, the little guy sat on his shoulder and stomped his feet in worry, Ling Chaofeng said: ”You want to break daddy's neck?!”

Xiaowan watched dumbly, seeing the pure white petals being shaken down by Little Pei. She suddenly understood in her heart, as tears unconsciously rolled down her face, and she actually blurted out, ”Hubby …”

When the two words came out of her mouth, Xiaowan was shocked awake. From her cheek all the way to her neck, she covered her mouth.

Fortunately, neither father nor son heard him.

Little Pei picked a few flowers and put him down. He looked at Xiaowan and saw that she was blushing red as if she had a fever. He could not help but ask worriedly, ”Miss Xiaowan, are you alright?”

Xiaowan shook her head and took a step back. As she spoke, she went to pick the wild vegetables, but she did not know that her dress had been hooked.

Their faces were so close to each other that even Xiaowan could not see Ling Chaofeng's face clearly.

”Are you alright?” Ling Chaofeng asked. If one looked carefully, why did Xiaowan look like she had been crying.

”I'm fine …” Manager Ling, thank you. ” After the Xiaowan regained his balance, he quickly left the man's embrace. However, his back was extremely hot and the area he hugged became hotter and hotter.

Little Pei stood at the side and asked absentmindedly: ”Daddy, do you want to kiss aunt?”
