"Qianqian, you’re at ho! Auntie thought you went to your grandparents for the sumr."
Upon hearing Feng Lu’s voice, Han Qian involuntarily stiffened but quickly adjusted herself. She got up from the sofa and gave Feng Lu a sweet smile: "Aunt Feng, you’re back?! Dad said you needed to stay at Grandfather Feng’s house to recover after being discharged, so I didn’t go over to disturb you. I’m sorry, I really should have visited you at Grandfather Feng’s."
Her gaze shifted downwards as Han Qian looked at Feng Lu’s flat abdon and suddenly showed surprise: "Aunt Feng, did you have a little brother? But that’s not right, he wasn’t due yet..."
Even Han Bin hadn’t told Han Qian about Feng Lu’s fall in the bathroom, which resulted in losing the child and the removal of Feng Lu’s womb to save her life.
However, Feng Lu felt that Han Qian was gloating, though she suppressed her anger and forced a smile: "Didn’t your dad tell you?"
Han Qian blinked with an innocent expression: "Aunt Feng, what should Dad have told ?"
"The little brother in Auntie’s belly is gone."
Feng Lu looked sowhat pained: "It was my fault. I accidentally slipped while taking a bath, causing your little brother to leave ."
"Is that so?" Han Qian’s eyes reddened: "But I heard from Uncle Feng that Aunt and the little brother were fine!"
"That was your Uncle Feng not wanting you to worry or to scare you, after all, you’re just a young girl."
Wiping the corner of her eye, Feng Lu said: "I’m going upstairs to lie down for a while. Keep watching TV, but don’t watch too long, or it’ll hurt your eyes."
"...Okay, I got it!"
After hesitating for a mont, Han Qian nodded. As Feng Lu started up the stairs, Han Qian called out: "Aunt Feng!"
Feng Lu turned her head: "Yes, Auntie is listening."
"You and my dad are still young. I believe the little brother will return to your belly," Han Qian said with pure sincerity, nodding heavily to add credibility to her words: "For sure, Aunt Fang, you’re kind, and the little brother will definitely co back to you!"
"Then Auntie will take your kind words, waiting for this little brother to co back as our family’s child."
Smiling, Feng Lu said this, retracting her gaze as she continued upstairs.
Damn little brat, was she deliberately provoking her with those words, wanting to see her make a fool of herself?
Though she hated Han Qian to death, Feng Lu had to act carefree, so as not to let Han Qian see anything unusual from her back.
But she didn’t know that Han Qian was also pretending to be naive and innocent, playing along with her act.
The reason?
Han Qian knew well that what she did that day was no longer a secret. Perhaps Feng Lu didn’t know the truth, but with Feng Lu’s mind, Han Qian felt she might guess sothing.
And the mont Feng Lu entered with a flat stomach, Han Qian knew Feng Wei had lied to her that day. But Han Qian pondered back and forth, not understanding why her father, Han Bin, hadn’t told her the truth.
Right, Han Qian suddenly rembered, ever since Feng Lu was hospitalized, Han Bin’s gaze at her changed. Not only did he no longer smile at her, but his eyes carried a tinge of unfamiliarity, as if he was not treating her like a child from a relative’s house.
Although he still gives her pocket money and buys her food and clothes like before, it feels different.
With her lips tightly pressed, Han Qian sat back on the sofa, deeply aware that she had reacted too slowly and was only now realizing the change in her father’s attitude.
It seems... it seems she has to think about doing sothing again. Otherwise, before Feng Lu gets pregnant again, that woman might bring those illegitimate children to her ho to compete for the family assets her father earned.
"Luo Minghan, Luo Mingwei, although you’re innocent, I didn’t intend to do anything to you, but bla that you’re born to Feng Lu!" Han Qian thought to herself: "People for themselves, heavens will destroy the earth, I’m sorry!"
The courtyard.
Ming Han was sitting in the living room playing the erhu when he suddenly sneezed several tis. anwhile, Ming Wei, holding Guoguo, was chatting with Kang Li on the sofa, turned around, covered her mouth, and sneezed as well.
For a mont, the young and old in the living room couldn’t help but look at Ming Han, then at Ming Wei. Kang Li found it amusing but still asked with concern: "Did you two catch a cold?"
Ming Han rubbed his nose and shook his head: "No, besides, I’m as strong as a bull, and it’s sumr; there’s no way I could catch a cold."
"I’m not cold either." Ming Wei smiled sheepishly: "It’s just that my nose felt itchy and I couldn’t help but sneeze."
Guoguo looked up at Ming Wei, blinking with bright eyes: "Sister and Brother Ming Han have such a good rapport!"
"Your second brother is a rough guy, sister doesn’t want to have rapport with him, sister cherishes our family’s Guoguo, wants to have rapport with little Guoguo, what does my dear think?"
Four eyes t as Ming Wei teased the adorably bun-headed Xiao Guoguo.
"Guoguo also loves sister!"
Hugging Ming Wei’s neck, Guoguo said in a childish voice: "Second Sister’s hairstyle today is the sa as the one mama gave Guoguo, it ans Guoguo is closest and has the best rapport with Second Sister!"
Ming Wei laughed happily and rubbed her forehead gently against Xiao Guoguo’s: "That’s right, Second Sister and our Guoguo have great rapport!"
Just then, Ming Han started playing "Unrestrained" on the erhu.
After he finished a round, Tangyuan ran "tap tap tap" to the piano, climbed onto the stool, and began playing on the black and white keys. The prelude of "Unrestrained" flowed out from the little one’s fingertips.
But, no one in the family was surprised.
Because the morizing and comprehension ability of the three buns is exceptionally good, able to rember and replicate exactly what they’ve heard or seen only once.
"I like this tune, Second Brother!"
After the piece ended, Tangyuan looked at Ming Han with a serious expression on his delicate face: "It sounds so nice, it feels very poetic!"
