Xiao Ning's originally fair and tender face was now covered with rouge and several clearly visible tooth marks, which made her look both funny and pitiful. This appearance made Chu Qian and Nangong Luoyu beside her laugh, and the clear and pleasant laughter echoed in the air.
Xiao Ning's eyes widened, and he looked angrily at the "culprit" who had made him so embarrassed. They were actually laughing so happily, and he couldn't help but feel a nameless anger in his heart:
"You two are really going too far! Have you never seen a child before? Is it necessary to treat me like this?"
However, since he has now turned into a child of only six or seven years old, his words not only have no deterrent effect, but instead seem particularly cute and interesting.
Although Xiao Ning was full of anger, his childish voice and chubby face did not show any anger at all, but instead made him look more innocent.
After a long while, Chu Qian and Nangong Luoyu finally stopped laughing. Chu Qian smiled lightly, took out a snow-white handkerchief from her bosom, approached Xiao Ning carefully, and gently wiped the rouge and teeth marks on his face.
"Ning'er, don't be angry. Come here, let mother help you wipe it."
As Chu Qian spoke, she looked at Xiao Ning with her eyes as gentle as water, her eyes full of care and love.
Feeling Chu Qian's gentle movements and affectionate gaze, Xiao Ning's anger gradually dissipated. He thought to himself: Yes, the reason why my mother did this is because she loves him and wants to be more intimate with me. Anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat, so why should I be hypocritical?
Thinking of this, he stopped being angry and a smile appeared on his face. After all, he was her son, so what was the harm in being "bullied" by her occasionally?
After Chu Qian helped him wipe the faint red marks on his cheek, Xiao Ning slowly raised his arms that were as slender as lotus roots, gently hugged Chu Qian's slender neck, and rubbed his pink little face against Chu Qian's smooth face intimately, fully feeling the warm and reassuring breath from his mother.
Chu Qian stared at Xiao Ning, who was clinging to her, with a smile on her face. She felt that her heart was instantly melted by this extremely cute little guy in front of her. She opened her arms without hesitation and hugged Xiao Ning tightly in her arms, her tone full of endless pampering and love:
"Oh my, you're still insisting that you're not a child. Look at how clingy you are. You're clearly a poor little thing who can't leave your mother."
Hearing Chu Qian's teasing, Xiao Ning pouted immediately and stubbornly retorted: "No way! I'm not a mama's boy!"
Although he refused to admit it, his big round eyes were flickering with an undisguised feeling of dependence.
At this moment, Nangong Luoyu quietly watched the warm and cozy mother and son, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She walked to the two of them gracefully, and then gently stretched out her white jade-like slender hands and gently wrapped them around Chu Qian and Xiao Ning's bodies.
"Ning'er, Qian'er, no matter what happens, we will always be together..."
Nangong Luoyu's voice was like the sound of nature, and it slowly reached Chu Qian and Xiao Ning's ears. However, facing Nangong Luoyu's affectionate words, Chu Qian pouted with disdain, then hugged Xiao Ning tightly in her arms, and muttered unhappily:
"Humph, who wants to be with you! You should just live out your life alone! Let me go!"
Chu Qian said this angrily, and then deliberately turned her little head to the side. Her arrogant look made people both angry and funny.
However, facing Chu Qian's attitude, Nangong Luoyu was not angry, but raised his mouth slightly, revealing a doting smile. His deep eyes stared at Chu Qian, and an indescribable warmth surged in his heart.
Not only did he not loosen his arms as Chu Qian wished, but he held her tighter, as if he was afraid that the person in his arms would suddenly disappear. At the same time, he whispered softly:
"I won't let go of you, you duplicitous fellow..."
On the other side, Liu Suhe and Xiaoqing, led by the housekeeper of Zhang's house, slowly walked into a spacious hall. This hall was decorated in a very simple and elegant style, showing the taste and luxury of the owner everywhere.
Looking up, I saw a middle-aged couple sitting on the main seat in front of me. The man was dressed in brocade and had a handsome face, while the woman had delicate makeup and was graceful. They were surrounded by several respectful servants, who were either pouring tea or waving feather fans. It was very lively.
The two servants standing on both sides of the hall each held an exquisite incense burner in their hands. The incense in the burner was emitting light blue smoke. The faint and elegant fragrance should have been refreshing, but for some reason, Liu Suhe always felt that there was a faint pungent smell mixed in with the fragrance, lingering at the tip of her nose for a long time.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Suhe couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, and thought to himself:
"The Zhang family is really too extravagant. They actually let their servants stand there for a long time holding incense. There are as many as seven or eight maids just serving them. It's really a grand ceremony..."
A slight ripple suddenly flashed across Liu Suhe's beautiful eyes, like ripples on a calm lake surface blown by a breeze. At this moment, the housekeeper who had been standing quietly by the side suddenly stepped forward and said respectfully:
