After coaxing Yueyue, the eldest brother let her and Doudou go play together, and then he walked over to Xiao Qianqian.

"Senior Brother." Xiao Qianqian saw her senior brother walking over.

"Senior Brother," Ye Bosen greeted.

"Well, I need to talk to you two about something."

"Senior Brother, what is it?"

Both of them looked at their senior brother, wondering what he wanted to say.

“You can see Master’s mood too. He’s still very worried about Lao Er. We’re worried that he’ll feel depressed if he’s alone here when we go back. So I thought about it and suggested that you take Master back with you when you go back. He also needs to go to the prison to see Lao Er anyway, so we can avoid him having to make the trip again next time.”

"I'm fine with it, I'm just worried that the old man won't want to go back with us." Xiao Qianqian was also quite worried about her master.

"I'll talk to my master about this later."

"Yes, that's for the best."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Master about this now, and I'll let you know when we've reached an agreement."

"Okay, senior brother."

The eldest disciple found his master and told him his idea.

After a moment of silence, the master said, "I know you mean well, but there are still some things to take care of here, so I can't leave for the time being."

The eldest disciple wanted to persuade him further, but the master waved his hand.

After learning of their master's attitude, Xiao Qianqian and Ye Bosen walked hand in hand to a secluded corner.

"Ah Sen, how about I stay and keep Master company for a few days? I have some research to discuss with him. You, Yueyue, and Doudou can go back first. They need to go to kindergarten soon, and there's a lot of work to do at the company that's waiting for you to handle."

Ye Bosen squeezed her fingers, feeling very reluctant, but he knew that his master was in a bad mood and no one would feel at ease leaving him alone here. It was the most appropriate thing for his wife to stay.

"Okay, then you can stay here with your master for a few days. Call me when you've finished dealing with things, and I'll come pick you up."

"Thank you, honey, you're the best!"

"Knowing how good my husband is, how will you thank me?" Ye Bosen raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Xiao Qianqian looked around and, seeing no one approaching, slowly leaned closer and kissed his lips, intending to just give him a quick peck. Just as she was about to pull away, Ye Bosen pulled her into his arms and deepened the kiss.

"Ugh." Xiao Qianqian was about to say that this was outside when her lips were sealed.

She tried to push him, but couldn't.

"Honey, focus." A magnetic and alluring voice.

After a long while, the two finally parted ways.

Xiao Qianqian's cheeks flushed, and she gave Ye Bosen a reproachful look. Ye Bosen, however, didn't seem to care and even gently flicked her nose.

"After we leave, you must take good care of yourself and your master. Remember to call me if anything happens." Ye Bosen tidied her slightly messy hair.

"Don't worry." Xiao Qianqian leaned against him, she was also very reluctant to leave them.

"Junior sister, brother-in-law, dinner's ready." Just as the two were being all lovey-dovey, the third senior brother's voice rang out from afar.

"Let's go eat." Xiao Qianqian wriggled out of his arms and straightened her clothes.

Ye Bosen reached out and took her hand, their fingers intertwined. He gently squeezed Xiao Qianqian's palm, his eyes filled with affection, feeling reluctant to part even before they were separated.

Xiao Qianqian saw the reluctance in his eyes and comforted him, "It won't be long. Once the old man has taken care of his business, I'll call you."

"good."

The two walked hand in hand towards the cottage.

When Yueyue saw her parents come home, she ran over like a whirlwind; "Daddy, Mommy, dinner's ready! Uncle made dinner, and it's so delicious!"

Ye Bosen squatted down and picked her up; "Okay, come on, let's eat. Yueyue must be hungry."

Yueyue patted her flat little belly and said, "Yueyue's tummy has gotten so thin from hunger."

Seeing her funny actions, Xiao Qianqian reached out and tapped her forehead.

"You're such a little glutton."

The group sat down at the table. The meal was prepared by the eldest brother. When he saw Xiao Qianqian and the others return, he gave them a look, and Xiao Qianqian nodded slightly.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious and joyful. After lunch, everyone prepared to go home, but as it was coming to an end, a sense of parting began to creep in.

The eldest brother glanced at his master, then cleared his throat.

"Master, we're preparing to head back this afternoon. Since you said you have things to take care of, Junior Sister can stay with you for a few days. She'll go back to the capital with you after you've finished your business," the eldest brother suggested.

The master wiped his mouth with a tissue, then looked at his disciples and saw that they were all looking at him with worried expressions.

He waved his hand; "Girl, you don't need to stay. You still need to go back and take care of the children. I'm fine here, so don't worry about me. I'll call you once I've taken care of things here."

Before Xiao Qianqian could speak, Ye Bosen spoke first: "Master, you don't need to worry about the children. I will take good care of them. Let Qianqian stay here. With her here, we can all rest assured."

“Yes, Master, let Junior Sister stay. That way we can rest assured,” the fourth senior brother said from the side.

"Yes, Master, we feel at ease with Junior Sister around," the third senior brother said.

"Old man, let me make this clear beforehand. I'm not staying here to take care of you. I have some research to ask you for advice. Could you take a good look at my work these next few days? I've hit a roadblock in my research and I don't know how to solve it."

The master looked at everyone again. He understood their thoughts and didn't want to reject their good intentions.

"Alright, then you can stay."

"Okay." Xiao Qianqian smiled.

"Junior sister, then I'll leave Master to you." The eldest brother breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Master had agreed.

"Yes, junior sister, thank you for your hard work."

"Oh dear, senior brother, I already told you that I need to trouble Master to help me solve this problem."

"Yes, yes, yes."

After the meal, everyone helped clean up the dishes.

Xiao Qianqian hugged Yueyue, kissed her little face, and whispered, "Baby, Mommy will be back in a few days."

Yueyue nodded sensibly, her little hands tightly gripping Xiao Qianqian's clothes.

Dou Dou, who was standing next to her, also had red eyes; he was also reluctant to part with his mother.

Xiao Qianqian patted his little head; "Listen to Daddy when you get home, and be good at kindergarten, okay?"

"Okay, Mom, I'll be good, and I'll take good care of my little sister." Dou Dou was very sensible.

"Mom, I will be good, and I will take good care of my brother," Yueyue promised her mother.

Ye Bosen then walked over and took Yueyue from Xiao Qianqian's arms.

"Then we'll head back." He looked at his wife, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"Yes, take good care of yourselves and the children. I'll miss you all," Xiao Qianqian said with a smile.

The fourth senior brother also came over at this time, and he picked up Dou Dou in his arms.

"Let's go."

Then he reached out and patted his junior sister on the shoulder; "Take good care of Master and yourself."

"I will, senior brother."
