“Q-qiaoqiao.” Wen Ruwan hurriedly stood back up and gave Qiao Mu an embarra.s.sed smile.

“Um, I heard that the city will be holding the Thousand Blossom Festival tomorrow.” Wen Ruwan could not speak fluently at first when she met the child’s dark eyes.

However, after calming her breathing and donning on a fake smile, her speech turned more fluent. “Um, the children haven’t taken a good look at Xijiu City despite how long they’ve been here. How about our whole family go to the central plaza tomorrow to see this festival…”

“Who’s family with you?” Qiao Mu’s face darkened. ‘What a thick-faced person.’

‘Do you think you’ll have the chance to intrude into our family in this life?’

Wen Ruwan shuddered, and her face switched between being flushed and ashen. She did not know how to continue.

“Um, ahem, there’s going to be a lot of people out on the streets tomorrow. Xiao Lin’er is still young, so it isn’t suitable for her to be in such a packed environment,” Second Uncle quickly smoothed things over. “How about we forget this matter?”

Who knew his youngest niece would be curious as she asked with a lisp, “Mother, yommy things to eet at Dousand Fower Festival?”

The hostile atmosphere was instantly dissolved by Xiao Lin’er’s childish words.

Qiao Mu’s tensed face relaxed, and she turned to look at her sister in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Yes, there’ll be a lot of flowers to eet.”

Xiao Lin’er’s eyes lit up. “Sister, I want to eet! Eet flower!”

Wei Ziqin smiled at these two sisters’ conversation. Qiao Zhongbang and Qiao Zhongxing’s mouth also uncontrollably trembled.

This treasure. She had not lacked in food and had an endless supply of snacks and pastries these days. She spent her days in a more nouris.h.i.+ng and blissful manner than the past, and her little cheeks were turning plump too. Yet, all she had on her mind was eating and more eating…

Elderly Lady Qiao coughed and tried to speak on her niece’s behalf. “Then you young ones should go out together and have fun. Ziqin, your belly is getting big, so you should stay at home. Ruwan, how about you take the children out? Pay attention to your safety.”
