“That"s right.” Mu Ru Yue nodded slightly. “Wu Chen, We should depart already. Eldest brother and sister-in-law are waiting for us.”

Ye Wu Chen raised his arms to pull Mu Ru Yue into his embrace. He caressed her hair and replied with a charming smile, “Let"s go then. It has already been a long time since your husband visited mother and father-in-law. We should make a trip back to the Sheng Domain as we have reunited…”

But they would need to make a quick return as there were still many matters to be dealt with in the Central Region.

Sinister killing intent flashed past his purple eyes when he thought about the name Zi Feng. Yet, a pair of hands held his own at that moment, making him slowly withdraw his cold aura…

☀

It was autumn and the loose, dead leaves fluttered from the maple tree.

The beautiful madam stood beneath a yellow maple tree inside the Xiao family of the Sheng Domain. Her light-yellow robe fluttered along with the wind. There was an undeniable beauty in her elegance.

Suddenly, a pair of arms extended from behind her, hugging her waist. Following that, a hot breath brushed the back of her ears as a man said in a low and hoa.r.s.e voice, “Yu Er, are you missing the three of them again?”

Madam Sheng Yue"s pupils contracted slightly as she nodded and replied, “It has already almost been two years. I don"t know when they will return.”

“They will be back soon.”

Xiao Tian Yu smiled gently as he gazed with deep affection at the woman before him. His gaze was as gentle as water that it could make people become deeply captivated by him.

“Mommy, daddy, what are you doing?”

A childish voice was heard by their side as they interacted.

Madam Sheng Yue"s body shuddered slightly. She then lowered her gaze to the little girl whose height had just reached her waist. With an elegant smile, she said, “Qing Qing, have you finished your homework already?”

Xiao Qing Qing blinked her eyes and giggled adorably as she replied, “Of course. Teacher even praised Qing Qing. Qing Qing will head to the Central Region to look for elder brother and sister once Qing Qing becomes stronger and help them fight the bad guys away.”

Madam Sheng Yue smiled with satisfaction as she looked at Qing Qing"s sensible appearance. She raised her hand to rub her little head and said, “You will have to work really hard to chase after their steps sooner. You will only be able to help them that way.”

“Qing Qing will definitely work hard.”

Xiao Qing Qing revealed an adorable smile. She had grown much taller compared to two years ago. Her face no longer had her initial baby fat. It was even more delicate and jade-like.

“That"s right, mommy. Qing Qing met with a big bad guy when she was out a couple of days ago. He wanted to lure Qing Qing to follow him, but Qing Qing didn"t go with that bad guy.”

Xiao Qing Qing blinked her eyes as she said with puffed cheeks.

Madam Sheng Yue and Xiao Tian Yu looked at each other before Madam Sheng Yue asked with a slightly darkened expression, “Qing Qing, tell mommy what happened?”

“It is a big bad guy who said Qing Qing that her bone were outstanding and wanted Qing Qing to go with him. But Qing Qing didn"t fall for it. It was obviously that he was trying to kidnap Qing Qing into the mountains to be sold to some men that are unable to marry wives.”

Madam Sheng Yue couldn"t help but chuckle when she heard what she said and asked, “Sold to a man to be his wife? Who taught you such words?”

“It is grandfather. Grandfather said that there are many bad guys outside the family. They will also try to kidnap adorable little girls to be sold to some men as their wives. Qing Qing is so adorable so they must want to kidnap Qing Qing.” Xiao Qing Qing snorted lightly as she replied in a harsh tone.
