Chapter 60 - What If Youre Only a Kid? (1/2)

“Are you saying that my dad won’t hate me even if he knows the truth?” Pei Zichen was hesitant for a while. Then, he asked her about his doubt. He was afraid that his father might hate him. But, he found that it was quite exhausting for her to be kneeling there the entire night. What if his great-grandmother did not allow her to get up?

“He might be angry but he’ll never hate you,” Lu Man replied honestly.

Pei Zichen sighed.

“Why do you have to be sad at such a young age?”

“I feel that I’m a very kind person!”

Lu Man did not know how to respond to that.

She did not understand his point here.

“That’s enough. I’m going to sleep now. Keep up your hard work!” Pei Zichen went to sleep soon after.

“You naughty boy!”

Although she was rather annoyed at him for sleeping comfortably in front of her when she was kneeling there, it was comforting to have him there with him. The atmosphere became less frightening.

But, the time crawled on so slowly. It was exhausting!

She started to count the sheep and she soon fell asleep.

Lu Man was indeed one of a kind. She could sleep so soundly even while she was kneeling. One was sleeping soundly on the floor while another was sleeping soundly while kneeling there.

Pei Xiuyuan came back to the ancestral hall and he took in the view in front of him. He did not know how to respond to that. He was unsure of whether to take pity on her or admire her ability to sleep so soundly while kneeling there. She did not even notice him when he entered.

Why was Xiao Chen there too?

He wanted to hug Lu Man so that she could sleep soundly. But, she had woken up before he even touched her.

“Is Grandma feeling better?” She was worried about the old lady.

“She’s feeling much better now.”

“That’s good.”

Pei Xiuyuan lifted her up.

“What are you doing?”

“Take a break.” He put her on his legs.

“Can I take a break?”

“It’s been almost midnight now. Do you plan to kneel here forever?” Pei Xiuyuan just felt that she was too honest and stubborn. She had promised to kneel there and he could not stop her from doing that. But, why did she not take a break when no one else was watching her?

Lu Man wanted to say something more but soreness soon engulfed her legs.

Pei Xiuyuan’s hands were large and strong. He helped to massage her legs. She could feel her legs now. It was a comfortable feeling. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment. Being able to have a great feast was the best enjoyment for hungry people. Being able to have a leg massage when one’s legs were sore was the best enjoyment to her now. She felt that there was nothing quite like that in the world!Read more chapters at Listnovel.com

Pei Zichen woke up the minute his father entered the ancestral hall. He did not know what to say so he pretended to be asleep still. But, he soon felt that there was something wrong with his father and Lu Man. So, he opened his eyes secretly and peeked at them. His father was massaging her legs. He was jealous. His father had never done that for him!

Then, he saw his father rocking Lu Man in his embrace. He frowned. What was his father doing?

Suddenly, he remembered seeing something quite like that on TV. The grownups lifted the children in their arms and rocked them in order to coax them.

He felt more jealous now. His father never hugged him like that when he was young.
