Chapter 346 Xiaoyue's Entrustment of Her Orphan

After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and strode outside. Watching Ling Xiao's back, Meng Yanzhi felt very confused. Especially when her eyes fell on the things on the table, she was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with this person? Isn't he going to take his things?"

"He wanted to entrust Xiaoyue to us and let us raise her."

Are you willing?

Xiao Xingyuan was both amused and exasperated, and rolled his eyes.

What?

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi frowned slightly, her expression turning somewhat grim: "I can take care of Xiaoyue without any problem, but why did this happen? Why did they entrust her to us? What is he doing? Does he not want Xiaoyue anymore?"

“No, he meant that the child is getting older and can’t always stay with him. He thought that the two of us would be able to raise the child, so he planned to leave the child with us.” Xiao Xingyuan spoke the truth. He looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile and then said softly, “Of course, you are in charge of everything at home. You can stay if you want, or you can leave if you don’t.”

"Hmph, this Ling Xiao, I always thought he was a bit dim-witted, but I never expected him to think about the child."

"Since that's the case, I have no objection. It's settled then. We'll raise Xiaoyue. I'll definitely take good care of the child."

Meng Yanzhi liked Xiaoyue and also enjoyed lively atmospheres, so she never considered refusing.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and hugged Meng Yanzhi, saying with a smile, "I knew our Yanzhi was the kindest. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful wife like you!"

"Why have you become so glib lately? Could it be that you've picked up bad habits from those bad men out there?" Meng Yanzhi tilted her head, looking at Xiao Xingyuan with some confusion.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan's smile vanished. He touched his mouth, looked at Meng Yanzhi with a hint of grievance, and said softly, "I spoke from the bottom of my heart. What, you don't believe me?"

"Are these truly words from the bottom of your heart?"

"No glib tongue?"

Meng Yanzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a grin.

When she first got together with Xiao Xingyuan, she was always very cautious. After all, Xiao Xingyuan was always expressionless, and most of the time he had no expression at all. You couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

But now that Xiao Xingyuan has spent a lot of time with Meng Yanzhi, he has changed completely and is even starting to resemble her more and more.

"Really, no, madam, I really didn't."

"I just think you are the best woman in the world."

Xiao Xingyuan smiled and began to act coquettishly as he hugged Meng Yanzhi.

When Ling Xiao returned with the child, he witnessed this scene. Looking at Xiao Xingyuan's pathetic state, Ling Xiao felt disgusted and even vaguely regretful, feeling that he really shouldn't have let the child grow up here.

"Sister Meng!"

Xiaoyue rushed over and hugged Meng Yanzhi tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Sister Meng, I miss you so much! How could you leave without saying a word!"

"Waaah, Sister Meng!"

Xiaoyue hugged Meng Yanzhi's waist and actually burst into tears.

Ling Xiao then pulled Xiao Xingyuan along as they walked outside.

Looking at Xiaoyue's pitiful appearance, Meng Yanzhi smiled slightly, gently wiped away her tears, and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay, your sister is right here. Don't cry, oh dear, why are you crying like a poor little thing?"

"Sister Meng, why? Why did you leave so suddenly? Has brother been bullying you all along?" Xiaoyue huffed, looking sullen.

Seeing Xiaoyue's sullen face, and remembering what Lingxiao had said earlier, she immediately realized what he meant. She looked at Xiaoyue with some curiosity and whispered, "Is it because I left that you're angry with your brother and ignoring him?"

"Yes, I know it's my brother's fault. He keeps nagging you and making you unhappy, and I'm unhappy too!" Xiaoyue turned her face away and snorted.

Meng Yanzhi truly hadn't expected this little girl to be so kind to her. Her heart warmed little by little. Meng Yanzhi reached out and gently touched Xiaoyue's cheek, smiling as she said, "Your brother didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I don't like the palace or the capital, so I came out. Your brother loves you very much. If you hate him so much, he'll be sad."

"Will Sister Meng be sad?"

"Did you hurt Sister Meng's feelings, brother?"

Xiaoyue looked at Meng Yanzhi with a worried expression, as if she was afraid that Meng Yanzhi would be wronged.

Looking at Xiaoyue's adorable appearance, Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and hugged the child softly, saying, "Thank you, Xiaoyue. I'm so grateful that you're so good to me. I'm not sad. Seeing you now only brings me joy."

Hearing this, Xiaoyue finally felt relieved and whispered, "That's good. It's best if you're not sad, sister. I miss you so much."

Meng Yanzhi quickly opened the box next to her and looked at Xiaoyue with a smile: "Look, these are all delicious things that your sister made for you. See if you like them!"

"Wow, what are all these things? I've never seen them before!"

"Sister Meng, you are so amazing!"

Xiaoyue immediately exclaimed excitedly upon seeing these things!

She looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile, then at the delicious food, and all the gloom in her heart finally disappeared completely.

Outside the door, Ling Xiao nervously rubbed his hands together, but still chose to tell the truth: "After Meng Yanzhi left, Xiaoyue stopped talking to me. I don't know if she will continue to ignore me forever."

"Brother!" Xiaoyue came out, looked at Lingxiao, and cheerfully shared the dried fruit in her hand with him: "Want to eat together?"

Ling Xiao had forgotten how long it had been since he'd heard Xiao Yue call him so affectionately. He hurriedly went over and said, "Xiao Yue, what did you call me? Say it again!"

"Brother, brother!"

“Brother, Sister Meng said that I misunderstood you. You didn’t bully her. I apologize to you. I shouldn’t have treated you like that, and I shouldn’t have disbelieved you.”

Xiaoyue looked at Lingxiao with a face full of guilt and sincerely apologized.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao felt a surge of excitement. He knew that things would be different after meeting Meng Yanzhi!

Seeing Ling Xiao's pathetic state, Xiao Xingyuan smiled gently, walked to Meng Yanzhi's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and said softly, "How come our Yanzhi is so amazing?"

"How come our Ah Yuan has such good taste?" Meng Yanzhi said smugly, raising her eyebrows at Xiao Xingyuan.
