Chapter 276 Laughter Deep in the Nigh (1/2)

The moment her voice dropped, Feng Jiu turned to look at Leng Shuang and asked: ”Where's Little Ball?”

”On the horse's back outside. It just laid there and refused to get off.”

”Just leave it be then. It should be fine on its own. But you should not go running about at night.” Feng Jiu told her, and saw the curtain move as the little boy came running out.

”Big Brother, Mother said this is too expensive and Sunny cannot accept it.” He then held up the luminous pearl in his hand to return it to Feng Jiu. Although that was what he was saying, but as the child had never seen such a thing before, his eyes were filled with reluctance to part with it.

Feng Jiu smiled and said: ”It's all right, you can keep it!” When her voice fell, she then saw the woman coming out as she carried several eggs dyed red in her hands.

”There isn't much we can serve you in this house. Will our two guests have a red egg first?” The woman's voice was gentle as her gaze fell upon Sunny, her eyes doting, thickly filled with motherly love.

”Big Brother, can Sunny really keep this bead?” He asked as he blinked his eyes at Feng Jiu, and then turning to look at his mother.

”The luminous pearl is too precious a gift and the child doesn't even know what it is. The Young Master should keep it.” The woman said softly, gesturing for Sunny to return the pearl back to Feng Jiu.

”It's alright. It's just a toy for the child. Just keep it with you!” Feng Jiu said with a laugh, asking Sunny to accept it.

Seeing that, the woman then leaned forward slightly towards Feng Jiu and bowed as she said: ”In that case, let this humble woman express my grat.i.tude on my son's behalf for the Young Master's gift.”

Seeing the woman's posture bowing before her, Feng Jiu's eyes glinted but she did not say anything and just smiled faintly.

After awhile, the woman left only Sunny in front to accompany Feng Jiu while she turned to go to the back of the house.
