"Shadow, didn't you sleep well last night? Your dark circles are so bad!"
It is said that one is indebted to those who pay the bills, and this applies to everyone, including Du Zhong.
Zhu Qianying has hardly participated in any outdoor activities in the past year. Her skin is fair and translucent. She didn't sleep well last night, and now her dark circles are so dark they could almost be considered a panda's brother.
"Yes, my daughter is sick, and I didn't sleep well all night."
This is not a private matter, Zhu Qianying said it openly.
Even so, she didn't use it as an excuse to be lazy. She opened the clothing pictures sent by Du Zhong and carefully matched them with different jewelry.
Du Zhong was busy until noon, and he was still thinking about Zhu Qianying's sick daughter.
“Shadow, why don’t you go home and check on your daughter? I’ll send you the pictures to your email in a bit. Just make as many as you can at home and send them to me.”
Zhu Qianying felt a little guilty, but she was indeed worried about Xiao Xiao's illness. All morning, Yan Shao didn't call to say anything.
Seeing her hesitation, Du Zhong said, "How about this, bring some more snacks tomorrow as an apology."
Since Du Zhong had put it that way, Zhu Qianying accepted his kindness, tidied herself up, thanked him, and hailed a taxi.
After giving the address to the driver, Zhu Qianying took out her phone and made a call.
"Honey, how is Xiaoxiao?"
As soon as the call connected, Zhu Qianying asked.
"It's nothing, the brother and sister are playing now."
In the microphone, besides Yan Shao's smiling voice, you could also faintly hear Zizai and Xiaoxiao laughing and playing.
"That's good. What would you like to eat? I'll pick some up from the supermarket on my way back, fruit, snacks, or anything for tonight."
"Don't you have to go to work? Why are you going to the supermarket?" Yan Shao seemed very suspicious.
"Yes, Brother Du heard that Xiao Xiao is sick. ****I'll take the work home to do. I'll go buy some soup ingredients and make some nourishing soup for dinner."
Influenced by Chen Jing, Zhu Qianying also pays great attention to her diet and has much more knowledge about food therapy than the average housewife.
There were even more chefs than there are now.
"Is that so? Then I'll go ask the two little ones what they want to eat and I'll send you a message later."
Several tens of minutes later, Zhu Qianying pushed a large cart of goods out of the supermarket. Just as she was about to raise her hand to hail a taxi, a man got out of a black car parked on the side of the road and jogged towards her.
"Ying'er, over here."
This man was none other than Young Master Yan.
"Why did you come here?" Zhu Qianying looked at him in surprise.
“Zizai and Xiaoxiao are asleep. I thought you must be here to buy something, so I had the driver bring me here to take a look.”
As Yan Shao spoke, he and the driver lifted the several large bags from the shopping cart.
"Is Xiaoxiao alright?"
"Yes, she had a slight cough when she woke up this morning. She took the medicine you gave her last night again, and it seems she's fine now."
She has always had a very good constitution, so she recovers quickly.
"That's good."
As soon as Zhu Qianying got into the car, Yan Shao's gaze fell on her face.
"You probably didn't sleep much last night, right?"
The light in the bedroom was quite dim in the morning, so Yan Shao could clearly see the dark circles under her eyes.
"It's alright, I just need to go to bed early tonight."
Having already been a mother of two, Zhu Qianying was used to these things and had no intention of complaining or acting coquettishly.
Yan Shao tenderly put his arm around her shoulder and let her lean against him.
"Close your eyes and rest for a while. I'll wake you up when we get home."
Zhu Qianying gave an "oh" and, without being coy, snuggled into his arms a few times to find a comfortable position before closing her eyes.
The supermarket wasn't far from where they lived, usually about a ten-minute drive. Yan Shao instructed the driver to drive slowly, and it was more than twenty minutes later when the car entered the garden.
The car stopped, and Zhu Qianying opened her eyes.
She straightened up, yawned contentedly, and stretched. "Mmm...so comfortable."
She had barely finished speaking when she heard a soft knocking on the door, and faintly, a small voice called out, "Mommy..."
Zhu Qianying leaned over to the window, opened the glass, and peeked out. Sure enough, her daughter was standing by the car, patting the door. Her little face was flushed, and her eyes were still a little watery. It seemed that she had just woken up.
"Sweetie, where's your brother?"
Zhu Qianying naturally didn't dare to open the car door on this side, so she kicked Yan Shao with her foot, signaling him to get out of the car and pick up his daughter.
"Brother..." Xiao Xiao pointed to the grass not far away, "Birds..."
Zhu Qianying looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was that naughty boy, Zizai, who was sticking his butt out and peering into the flower bushes, looking for something.
Yan Shao got out of the car, scooped up Xiao Xiao with one hand, and opened the car door with the other, letting Zhu Qianying get out.
Xiaoxiao showed no intention of going back inside, and kept pointing towards Zizai, "Brother... Birdie..."
Zhu Qianying took her daughter from him. "Honey, can you help me carry these things inside? I'll take Xiaoxiao to see her."
I picked up my daughter, kissed her face a few times, and then carefully observed her complexion. She seemed to be the same as usual, and in very good spirits. It seemed that she was really alright.
The little one felt ticklish from being rubbed by her and giggled as she snuggled into her arms.
The mother and daughter walked towards Zizai, laughing and joking. When Zizai heard their voices, he turned his head and put his finger to his lips.
"Shh!"
Zhu Qianying tactfully covered the little girl's mouth with her hand, hugged her, bent down and leaned closer to see what the "bird" in the little girl's mouth was.
Upon closer inspection, Zhu Qianying saw what appeared to be a small creature fluttering about in the flowerbed.
Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a small bird fluttering about.
Logically speaking, if the bird saw a person approaching so closely, it would have flown away long ago, but it just kept flapping its wings and refused to fly away.
"Honey, is it hurt?"
Zhu Qianying asked Zizai softly. The little guy turned to look at her, his eyes full of questions, "Is it injured?"
"Hmm... Try reaching out and grabbing it. If it doesn't fly away, it might be injured."
The little guy was skeptical, but he didn't say anything more and cautiously reached out his hand to the bird.
The little bird's eyes were filled with panic, and it flapped its wings even more violently, but it just wouldn't fly.
Zizai successfully caught it, and carefully held it in both hands, handing it to Zhu Qianying.
Little Xiao stared at the bird with her bright, watery eyes, her chubby little hands touching the bird's head, and she imitated the bird's chirping, "Chirp chirp..."
The little bird huddled in Zizai's palm, clearly indicating that it was truly injured.
“Honey, let’s take it home and see where it’s hurt.”
Zhu Qianying was afraid that Xiao Xiao, this carefree girl, would scare the little bird to death, so she turned around while holding Xiao Xiao.
