Xingluo made a "woooo" protest sound, but was ignored by Hua Qingying.

“…” Upon seeing this scene, a look of astonishment instantly appeared on Yun Che’s face.

He looked Hua Qingying up and down, not realizing when two children had appeared beside her...

"You are here to look for Caili, right? She should be in the bedroom. You can go there by yourself. I'm sorry I can't keep you company." Hua Qingying left with the two children without even saying hello.

Yun Che shook his head and didn't pay attention to Hua Qingying's strange behavior. Right now, he didn't want to waste his energy on insignificant things.

…

"Wow, woo, woo, great aunt, you hurt me." Xingluo complained with tears in her eyes. She had never seen Hua Qingying be so "rough".

"Xingluo, grandma just...it's my fault." Hua Qingying squatted down and gently wiped away the lingering tears from the corners of the child's eyes with her fingertips.

She looked at the pair of eyes filled with grievance, and a feeling of bitterness rose in her throat - even she herself had not expected the almost inappropriate obstruction just now.

"Grandaunt will go buy your favorite candied haws in a while. Buy the biggest one, and cover it with sparkling icing, okay?" Hua Qingying expressed her inner apology in the way she thought was the most appropriate.

She felt that the sour and sweet candied haws was a great way to make children happy and could quickly soothe Xingluo's grievances.

"Grandma, who was that person just now? Why did he call you 'Aunt' like mother?" Xing Chen had a smile on his little face as he looked directly at Hua Qingying. His small body contained a delicate heart.

“…”

This short sentence was like a heavy hammer, striking Hua Qingying's heart and soul, leaving her unable to think of a reasonable explanation for a long time.

Helplessly, she slowly raised her hand and gently stroked the foreheads of the two children. As the faint mysterious power surged between her palms, the two children slowly closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep. At the same time, this little episode was completely erased from their minds, as if it had never happened.

"Xingluo, Xingchen, knowing about your father too early will only be a disaster for you. I hope you won't blame your great aunt when you grow up..." A few crystal drops flashed in the corners of Hua Qingying's eyes.
