After a pause, Old Master Lu's face turned serious: "My mental state has been so good lately, it might just be what people call a final burst of energy before death!"

"Yes! A final burst of energy before death! It must be a final burst of energy before death!"

Qin Yajing: "........."

She sighed heavily in her heart.

Old Master Lu really didn't want to admit it.

She couldn't possibly hold a knife to Old Master Lu's neck, could she?

And to be honest.

If the old man is truly in good health, wouldn't she rather be deceived?

Even though she had figured it out, Qin Yajing still gave Grandpa Lu a heads-up.

So that when the agreed time came, Grandpa Lu would still be unwilling to let her leave.

"Grandpa, I really want to leave this Lu family manor," Qin Yajing said. "There are people here that I hate, people I really hate. I don't want to see them for even a second. I hope you can understand me."

Grandpa Lu pretended not to hear.

Qin Yajing went out first.

However, they found a small figure standing at the door.

It was Chengcheng.

Chengcheng's little face was deathly pale, and her big eyes stared unblinkingly at Qin Yajing.

He had just overheard Qin Yajing's last words.

She wanted to leave because there were annoying people here.

Chengcheng misunderstood.

Qin Yajing felt somewhat embarrassed upon seeing Chengcheng.

Well.........

Lu Yan has come and found them, so the child should know by now.

So how is she supposed to explain that "fuck you" is actually an insult...?

Just as Qin Yajing was racking her brains, Chengcheng came over and hugged Qin Yajing's legs.

Qin Yajing: "........."

Chengcheng looked up at her with a pitiful expression: "Auntie, please don't go, okay? Is it because my dad is still holding a grudge against you? Was the person you just said you hated my dad or me?"

"Is it because your aunt thinks I told my dad on you?"

Qin Yajing: "........."

What is this child saying?

Before Qin Yajing could figure it out, Chengcheng was already shaking her little head like a rattle drum.

He seemed somewhat aggrieved.

I feel a little sad.

Her eyes were a little red: "Auntie, I didn't tell Dad because I know you didn't deliberately teach me to say bad things or lie about saying good things."

"Auntie probably didn't know those were insults, that's why she said that to me. Auntie, I told Daddy, you didn't mean it, but if Daddy still comes to you, please don't be angry with him, okay? Daddy is just trying to do what's best for me..."

His childish words were tinged with a hint of tears.

Chengcheng was getting anxious.

He genuinely believed that Qin Yajing was going to leave because of this.

Chengcheng was very scared.

Because Qin Yajing was the first person to sit with him on the grass, watch the moon with him, and listen to him so patiently.

This reminded Chengcheng of her mother.

What my mother has always looked like in my imagination.

Although Chengcheng also had female companions.

But what Xia Weiwei did was endlessly urge Chengcheng to study.

If Chengcheng gets tired, he will threaten her by saying that Lu Yan doesn't like him anymore.

Therefore, Chengcheng will not project her mother's image onto Xia Weiwei.

...

Qin Yajing was stunned.

She was thinking about how to apologize to Chengcheng.

But she never expected Chengcheng to say such a thing to her.

The little child's face was full of fear and unease.

I was afraid she would get angry because of this.

Qin Yajing's heart was almost broken!

Oh my god!

It's Chengcheng who should be angry!

Be afraid!

It was also because Qin Yajing was afraid that the child would be angry with her!

How come it's all reversed now!

Why is this child so afraid of her being angry with him?

What a sensible and cautious child he is!

Qin Yajing is practically overflowing with maternal love!

She has never been a mother.

But the way she looked at Chengcheng right now was just like that of a mother!

Qin Yajing even stepped forward and pulled Chengcheng into her arms.

Her voice was choked with emotion: "Silly child! How could Auntie be angry! Auntie isn't angry at your father, nor at you, Auntie is only angry at herself! Auntie is an idiot! She clearly used foul language, yet she said it was nice language, Auntie is an idiot!"

“Auntie,” Chengcheng said anxiously, “Don’t be angry with yourself. Auntie isn’t stupid, not at all.”

Waaaaah.........

The childish, slightly childish voice echoed in her ears, and Qin Yajing felt like crying.

She nodded vigorously: "Okay, Chengcheng said Auntie isn't stupid, so Auntie isn't stupid!"

But before she could finish speaking, a woman's voice suddenly rang out: "Chengcheng, what are you doing!"

Qin Yajing froze instantly.
