Chapter 335 An'an Cried Because She Missed Her Father

As night fell, a cool breeze blew.

Everyone went back to their rooms to sleep and rest, but Wan Qiqi opened the window and stared blankly out the window.

She kept telling everyone not to worry about the restaurant opening, but the person who was most worried was herself.

Everyone went home early, hoping to go to bed early so they could go to the restaurant early the next day.

She was the only one who couldn't fall asleep.

This was the most formal business transaction she had undertaken since her transmigration.

She feared that she, with her modern knowledge, was no match for the ancients, and that all the effort she had put in would be wasted.

Inside the house, An'an woke up groggily.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed, without even putting on her shoes, and quietly walked to Wan Qiqi's side. "Mother, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Wan Qiqi was startled and almost dropped the wine pot in her hand.

It took her a moment to recover from the palpitations.

This is my own child, I can't get angry or curse at them!

Wan Qiqi kept trying to convince herself, but finally couldn't help but say, "An'an, do you know that people can scare each other to death!"

She reached out and pinched An'an's face, but couldn't bring herself to pinch hard.

Even so, after letting go, a red mark was still left on An'an's face.

An'an didn't care. She twitched her nose and kept sniffing. "Mom, what are you drinking? It smells so good!"

Wan Qiqi immediately hid the wine bottle behind her back, squatted down, and quietly stuffed the bottle into a corner before reaching out to flick An'an's nose and saying, "Would An'an like to drink the tea made with osmanthus flowers?"

Upon hearing that it was tea, An'an lost her appetite and asked, "Mother, why aren't you asleep yet? Are you missing Father?"

Wan Qiqi chuckled, flicked her nose, and said, "You little rascal, do you even know what 'want' means?"

After saying that, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

She had been single for over thirty years in modern times and hadn't been interested in anyone, but in ancient times she fell for Chen Yongnian, a country bumpkin.

She's starting to doubt her own judgment of people!

But once emotions are stirred, it seems impossible to explain these feelings.

“I know! Just like when my brother goes to school, An'an misses him!” An'an said innocently, feeling that it was the same thing.

Wan Qiqi chuckled twice more, unsure of what to say about the girl.

She picked up An'an, smiled, and said, "The feeling you're describing is the longing between family members, but the feeling between Mother and Father is different from familial love. You're still too young to understand..."

As Wan Qiqi spoke, she noticed that An'an was staring intently at one spot.

She looked in the direction An'an was looking, but saw nothing.

“Mother, I think I see Father!” An’an said, pointing to the open space at the street corner.

Chen Yongnian?

Wan Qiqi stared at the spot An An pointed to for a while, but still found nothing.

She didn't notice the deep disappointment in her expression when she saw nothing.

An'an looked for a while, and sure enough, there was nothing there. Then she pouted and said, "Daddy is gone!"

Children are not adults and cannot control their emotions properly.

Thinking about her father appearing and disappearing again, An'an couldn't help but burst into tears.

Wan Qiqi didn't care whether she saw anything or not. She quickly picked up An'an and carried her inside, coaxing, "An'an, be good, don't cry. Daddy isn't missing. He's just busy. He'll come back to see you in a while!"

"Waaah... But... But Daddy has been gone for so long... An'an misses Daddy... Waaah..." An'an cried even harder as she spoke!

Wan Qiqi has her own ways of dealing with adults, but when it comes to children, she only uses candy and treats to coax them.

No matter what she took out, An'an continued to wail and showed no sign of stopping.

Wan Qiqi felt a headache coming on. She rubbed her hair and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to soothe the child.

"Knock knock knock~" The knocking sounded on the door.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with An'an?" Chen Yongliang's voice rang out.

As if grasping at a straw, Wan Qiqi opened the door and pulled Chen Yongliang into the house, saying, "Think of a way to comfort An'an. She said she saw your older brother and has been crying ever since."

At this moment, Pingping also walked in, looking at Wan Qiqi with innocent eyes, "Mother, has Father come back?"

Wan Qiqi felt her scalp tingle from being shouted at.

She felt that if she told Pingping that she hadn't come back, Pingping would cry for her too.

But where could she conjure up a Chen Yongnian for the two siblings so late at night?

At the same time, there were a few loud thumps in the stairwell, and Wu Gousheng ran up.

"Sister Qi, Master Wan is here!"

Wan Qiqi is about to explode!

Two little ones are bad enough, but now there's Wan Ziyan too!

She said impatiently, "Tell him I'm not studying tonight, and tell him to go home!"

This was the first time Wu Gousheng had ever seen Wan Qiqi get angry since she started following him.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "But Sister Qi... she said you'll regret it if you don't go down..."

You'll regret this!

Wan Qiqi was already mentally screaming.

She glanced at An'an, then at Pingping who was nearly crying, and decided to flee this place of trouble.

Going downstairs, she finally had some peace and quiet.

He exhaled a breath of stale air and headed towards Wan Ziyan at the door.

"Second Brother, the restaurant opens tomorrow, so I need to rest early today and won't be studying." Although Wan Qiqi was a little irritable, her tone was still relatively calm when speaking to Wan Ziyan.

But Wan Ziyan still sensed the irritability in his tone and even smelled a hint of alcohol. He frowned slightly and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

When Wan Qiqi was caught drinking, she quickly turned her head away and changed the subject, "Second Brother, what do you want with me?"
