Chapter 199 Let’s Get Along Well

Night falls.

Pei Rao took Xiao Taozhi to the servant's temporary bedroom.

Although it was prepared at the last minute, every detail was meticulously arranged, and the dolls almost filled up the room.

Standing at the door of the room, Pei Rao suddenly worried that Taozhi was too young and it was her first time at the Pei family, so she would be afraid to sleep alone.

So she wanted the little guy to sleep with her, "Baby, are you afraid of sleeping alone at night? Do you want to sleep with grandma? Well, you should sleep with grandma. What if some bad guys break into the house at night?"

Little Taozhi's big round eyes rolled around and took in the surrounding environment.

This place was very unfamiliar and she didn't feel safe.

Especially Pei Rao's words "a bad guy broke in" made the little guy even more scared.

The little head just wanted to move up and down a little.

But then she heard Pei Yan's voice from the side: "Mom, can you please stop startling yourself? What bad guys could come here in the middle of the night? Besides, you've lived in this castle for so many years, when have you ever run into any bad guys?"

The man leaned his tall body against the door frame and leisurely nibbled at the apple in his hand. "Besides, Xiao Taozhi is already so grown up, how could he still be afraid of sleeping alone? Xiao Taozhi, don't you agree?"

After hearing what Pei Yan said, the little guy suddenly stopped nodding.

A competitive spirit suddenly emerged from the little guy's heart.

She squeezed the little circle and said, "Daddy is right. Zhizhi is a big kid now. She's not afraid of sleeping alone! Don't worry, grandma."

Only an hour after saying this, Xiao Taozhi regretted it.

Her small body was curled up in the quilt, with her hands and feet hidden tightly, leaving only her round little head exposed.

The two deer eyes, as big as black grapes, were now wide open, staring at the ceiling nervously.

She can't sleep.

The quilt covering me was fumigated with incense and gave off a pleasant smell.

But no matter how good the smell was, it was still unfamiliar to her. She was not used to it and even a little scared.

Xiao Taozhi turned her head.

Suddenly.

A breeze blew outside the window, passing through the half-open gauze window, lifting the heavy gauze curtain, and the moonlight outside poured in through the gap.

As the screen window swung, the dark room became bright and dark.

I don’t know why, but the flickering light made the little guy feel a little nervous.

She accidentally glanced at the screen window.

But I saw the arms of the life-size stuffed bear sitting against the wall were gently waving in the wind, and its eyes were twinkling!

Little Taozhi was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat, cold sweat immediately broke out on her back, and her little heart was beating wildly!

She was so scared that she immediately crawled into the bed and covered herself up so that not even a hair was visible.

This way, Xiongxiong won’t be able to see her!

But……

When Xiao Taozhi thought about the bear staring at her, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Half a minute later.

She carefully poked out her little head, revealing only her two big eyes, and glanced at the stuffed bear quietly -

The bear was still looking at her!

“Hmm…”

Little Taozhi clenched her fists, mustered up the courage, and rolled off the bed. Then, she tiptoed to the teddy bear with her bare feet.

Then he stretched out his little paws and hugged the big plush bear's eyes.

After great effort, he finally dragged the little bear to the door.

She stood on tiptoe and jumped up to reach the handle, then she opened the door and dragged the bear out.

Staring at the lone figure outside the door, Xiao Taozhi paused in closing the door.

Will the little bear feel lonely staying outside alone?

Thinking of this, Xiao Taozhi ran back to the room, holding a little chick in his left hand and a little duck in his right hand, and put them together with the little bear.

"Phew, it's finally over! Chicken and Duck, you two have to get along well with the little bear!"

Little Taozhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, clapped his hands, and then slammed the door shut.

With my short legs, I went back to sleep contentedly.

midnight.

Pei Rao came to Xiao Taozhi's door holding a lantern.

Pei Rao was shocked when she saw three animal "door gods" standing at the door in the middle of the night!

She is old and can't stand being scared!

Kicking the doll aside, Pei Rao quietly opened the door, walked in and closed the window.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw the little figure sleeping soundly on the bed move, and then kicked the quilt away with a very restless look.

Oh, she knew that this little guy might not be well-behaved when sleeping.

After all, Pei Sanhuo had the bad habit of kicking the quilt when he was a child.

She walked over quietly, picked up the sheet on the ground, and covered Xiao Taozhi with it.

Because the little guy was in an unfamiliar environment, he remained alert all the time and didn't even dare to sleep too deeply. He was awakened by Pei Rao.

She rubbed her eyes and called out in a daze: "Grandma..."

Pei Rao patted little Tao Zhi's chest and coaxed her softly, "It's me. Grandma is worried about you, so she came to see you. It's okay, little darling, go to sleep."

After saying that, Pei Rao was about to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by Xiao Taozhi's sleeve.

She was awake now, staring at Pei Rao with her two dark eyes: "Grandma, Zhizhi can't sleep..."

A soft, baby voice with a very strong nasal tone.

"Can Grandma talk to Zhizhi?"

In the past, when she was in the Fanluo Rain Forest and couldn’t sleep, she would quietly talk to the peach tree mother.

"Okay, Zhizhi, go ahead and talk. Grandma, listen."

Pei Rao sat on the edge of the bed, put little Taozhi's white and tender paws into the quilt, and tucked the corners of the quilt for her.

Little Taozhi asked the question that had been bothering her all day: "Grandma, why are you so angry with Daddy today?"

"Well... Grandma isn't really mad at Dad. It's just that I'm old and I'm worried about him."

"What's the rush?"

Pei Rao sighed earnestly, "Grandma, you're already half buried in the ground, and you never know when you might pass away. If that day really comes, your father will be the only one left in this world. How lonely he will be!"

Speaking of this, the wrinkles on Pei Rao's face suddenly deepened, revealing a loneliness that was not there during the day.

Little Taozhi blinked her big eyes. She understood a little, but not quite. "So, grandma wants to find someone to keep Dad company?"

"Yes, the person grandma is most worried about in her life is your father."

That year, just one year after she gave birth to Pei Yan, Pei Yan's father took away all the company's money and ran away with his mistress, leaving her alone to struggle to support the entire company.

Fortunately, Pei Yan was very hardworking and took on her burden as soon as she entered college. She developed the company into what it is today step by step on her own, which was really not easy.
