"Your eyes are so wide open, you're so young and you already know how to be curious?" Fang Qiao reached out and pinched Chuan Chuan and Yue Yue's cheeks, teasing them on purpose.

Chuan Chuan grinned at her, while Yue Yue shook her head frantically, trying to pry Fang Qiao's hand away and escape her clutches.

This shows that the two brothers have completely opposite personalities.

Fang Qiao was amused by the two brothers' reaction. She smiled and then shook her finger, saying, "But curiosity is no good either. Kids shouldn't listen to this."

As soon as Fang Qiao finished speaking, Chuan Chuan immediately started to pout and made whimpering sounds in her throat, as if expressing her dissatisfaction.

Although Yueyue didn't whimper, her accusing eyes clearly said: Why won't you let us listen?

"Look, they're pouting."

Fang Qiao nudged Cheng Baidong's waist with her elbow and said, "They're getting more sensible as they grow older. Chuan Chuan and Yue Yue are only one year old, and they can understand everything adults say. We need to be careful about what we say in front of them in the future. Children have a strong ability to imitate, so we parents need to set a good example for them and cultivate good habits from a young age."

Cheng Baidong hummed in agreement: "Understood."

At this moment, Tian Tian jumped up in front of Fang Qiao and asked impatiently, "Uncle, Aunt, what about me? What about me? Chuan Chuan and Yue Yue can't listen, but I'm the older sister, can I listen?"

"You can't either." Fang Qiao patted her head and said, "Even though you're the older sister, you're still a child."

"Can't kids listen to that?" Sweetie asked.

Fang Qiao nodded: "Yes."

"Why?" Sweetie turned to her uncle for help: "Uncle, uncle, you tell me."

As a result, Cheng Bodong also said, "It's not a good thing, so children shouldn't listen to it."

"Alright then." Sweetie lowered her eyes in disappointment.

Fang Qiao took her hand and changed the subject: "Let's go, let's shop a little longer, we haven't bought all our New Year's goods yet!"

Seeing the stall selling candied hawthorns, Fang Qiao asked, "Sweetie, do you want some candied hawthorns? Auntie will buy them for you."

"Eat, eat, I'll eat."

Children's curiosity arises quickly but is also easily diverted; a string of candied hawthorns is all it takes to keep them from asking too many questions.

Fang Qiao then asked An An, "Does An An want some candied hawthorns?"

An'an shook her head so hard it was almost like a rattle: "I don't want to eat it! The candied hawthorn is too sour!"

An'an doesn't like sour foods.

"Okay then, tell Mom if you have anything you want to eat."

An'an spotted a young man drinking soda not far ahead. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she raised one hand high, saying, "Mommy, I want to drink soda!"

Fang Qiao refused: "The soda is too cold, no way."

An An: "Hmph!"

Fang Qiao said helplessly, "The department store sells hot milk. How about we have a bottle of hot milk?"

An'an knew that if her parents disagreed, they simply wouldn't agree, and arguing wouldn't work, so she reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay then."

An'an accepted the hot milk, and Fang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, coaxing her, "The soda is too cold, drink it in the summer."

"Pinky promise, no take-backs."

"Pinky promise."

After shopping all afternoon, we bought all the New Year's goods and gifts for our hometown. The children were all tired from shopping, and on the way back home, they couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep one after another.

Fang Qiao and Xiao Jing each had a small child clinging to them. An An's head was resting on Fang Qiao's lap, and Tian Tian was leaning against the seat.

Once the children were asleep, the group began discussing the previously dropped topic about Lin Youcai from lunchtime.

"What is the nature of Lin Youcai's sins? What sins did he commit?"

"Judging from his appearance, he had a romantic entanglement recently, and his rosy complexion has turned into a sharp blade, which has become a malevolent force."

“The Peach Blossom Curse can cause bloodshed at best, and death at worst.” Fang Qiao frowned deeply, her brows furrowed as if they could trap a fly between them. “But now Lin Youcai has come to the capital unharmed, which means that the person who got into trouble wasn’t him?”

Cheng Baidong nodded: "The woman was the one who had the accident; she has already passed away."

Fang Qiao gasped and raised her hand: "Wait, let me sort this out."

"You sort it out."

Fang Qiao pursed her lips and said, "So, does that mean Lin Youcai not only had a girlfriend in the past two years, but the girl he was dating also died?"

Cheng Baidong: "That's right."

"..."

Fang Qiao was speechless: "Then why did he come to see Xiao Jing again? And why did he kneel and beg? He pretended to be so deeply in love! Bah! His affection is more despicable than a dog's."

Xiao Jing looked pale and didn't want to say another word.

Ironically, just a few hours ago, she naively believed that Lin Youcai was truly remorseful and had genuinely come to his senses, only to find out that it was all an act!

He's still him!

Hypocritical and cold-blooded!

Xiaojing felt that if she looked back at such a person even once more, it would be an insult to her personal dignity.

A person can be blind for a time, but not forever.

She's disgusting.

Fang Qiao asked, "Was the girl's death related to him?"

Cheng Baidong: "It's related to cause and effect, but it's hard to say about the others."

Fang Qiao thought for a moment and understood what Cheng Baidong meant.

Yes, every cause has its effect. Lin Youcai is definitely not innocent in the girl's death.

He must have played a crucial role in it, indirectly causing the woman's death; otherwise, he wouldn't have been burdened with this karmic debt as well.

Fang Qiao said, "Can you find out what happened? If Lin Youcai is really related to that girl's death, we can't just let him get away with it."

If we can get him in there, it would be a way to vent our anger for Xiaojing and that stranger.
