"Hmm." Qingyin wanted to comfort the cute little girl in front of her, but she was startled by her own hoarse voice, which sounded like a tire rolling on the ground.
Qingyin was stunned.
The little girl wasn't afraid of her mother's voice. Her red eyes were fixed on Qingyin, and she said with unusual understanding, "Mother, don't talk anymore. Aunt Qinghe said that you are sick and feeling unwell, so you are becoming weak. Mother, please rest well."
The little girl was very sensible; even when she was by the bed, she only dared to lie on the edge of the bed and didn't dare to take up her space.
Qingyin smiled gently and reluctantly raised her hand to rub the little girl's head.
"It's alright, don't be afraid, Mother is awake."
"Yes, Mother." Liu Niannian wanted to cry, but she was also happy. She was sad because she saw her fragile mother finally wake up, but she was happy because it was the first time her mother, who had been so cold to her, had touched her head so gently.
This feeling made her exceptionally happy, but the fear she had felt when she was terrified by her mother's appearance was also real.
Okay, don't cry, Liu Niannian. Aunt Qinghe said you're a grown-up now. Adults have to be strong and not cry in front of their mothers.
Liu Niannian comforted herself.
She tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, her lips slightly upturned, trying to appear as a reliable adult, completely unaware that her big, watery eyes, paired with her forced smile, made her look pitiful and adorable no matter how you looked at her.
Qingyin sighed helplessly to herself.
The little girl's awkward and cautious demeanor clearly shows how distant the relationship is between Song Qingqing and her biological mother.
However, this was also the result of the original owner's own actions.
After Song Qingqing became pregnant and gave birth to Liu Niannian, she attributed Liu Zhi's indifference to the fact that Liu Niannian was a girl, which is why Liu Zhi completely despised her.
Therefore, she has always been indifferent and uncaring towards her daughter. Although she received normal treatment, Song Qingqing did not fulfill any of the responsibilities that a mother should have.
Therefore, it is normal for Liu Niannian to be so heartbroken yet cautious and hesitant to get close to her.
Qingyin sighed, rubbing her forehead.
But now that she's in this body, this child is her responsibility.
Qingyin tried to speak gently as she asked the little girl, "Niannian, where is your Aunt Qinghe?"
In fact, Qingyin had just jumped into the water and was half-dead from illness, so her voice was really not loud. If Liu Niannian hadn't been so close, she wouldn't have been able to hear what her mother was saying at all.
Qinghe is Song Qingqing's personal maid. She grew up with the original owner of this body since childhood and they have a very good relationship. Qinghe was specially arranged for the original owner by the Song family patriarch. She is the daughter of the martial arts master in the mansion, a servant girl, with a pretty face and an extremely healthy body. She is also a good prospect for martial arts. After being chosen to be the young lady's personal maid, the mansion made sure that no one gave up learning martial arts.
This was to ensure that Qinghe could protect her original form.
Unfortunately, no matter how outstanding Qinghe's abilities were, they couldn't compare to the original owner's excessive quirks.
This time, when the original owner fell into the water, Qinghe, who was always loyal, would definitely have saved her immediately, but she was deliberately stopped by Liu Zhi, which is why Qingyin is in this state today.
Qingyin asked Liu Niannian where Qinghe had gone, and the little girl answered obediently, "Aunt Qinghe went to brew medicine for Mother and told me to stay here and watch over Mother."
"Niannian is such a good girl." Qingyin nodded knowingly after learning Qinghe's whereabouts, and praised the little girl again.
The little girl's big, round eyes widened even more from the praise, and her fair face flushed pink, making her look even cuter.
Liu Niannian shyly glanced at Qingyin, feeling that her mother seemed to have changed.
She has become gentler and more beautiful.
My mother's eyes used to be very complicated, carrying a kind of fear in them, but now her eyes are so clean, clear, and warm, like the sun in the sky.
Just now, her mother not only called her name gently, but also patted her head and... praised her. Liu Niannian's heart was filled with happiness.
She boldly thought: She... prefers her current mother.
Seeing the adorable little girl who seemed to be stunned and in a daze after being praised by her, Qingyin ruffled the little girl's fluffy hair again.
"What's wrong, spacing out again?"
Are you tired?
"Huh?" Liu Niannian woke up and heard her mother's words. Her little face, which resembled the original owner's, opened wide in surprise, looking rather silly.
Qingyin looked at her silly daughter, and her eyes softened a little.
"If you're tired, go to bed and sleep with your mother."
"Is it really okay? Mother is sick, and Aunt Qinghe said we can't interfere with Mother's recovery."
Liu Niannian's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously.
Qingyin's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Of course."
...
Finally, the three-year-old girl couldn't resist the opportunity to be close to her beloved mother, so she took off her little shoes and climbed into bed.
The girl nestled close to Qingyin, carefully placing her hand near Qingyin's large hand.
Because of her mother's unusual tenderness today, the little girl, who had always lacked love, became bolder and even dared to secretly try to hold her mother's hand.
As Qingyin lay in bed with her eyes closed, how could she not notice the movement of this warm little body beside her?
She turned her head and looked at Liu Niannian.
The action startled the little girl.
Liu Niannian hurriedly raised her head and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mother..."
Qingyin stopped the little girl from apologizing and took her hand in return.
"Niannian, you don't need to apologize to your mother, because you are my most beloved daughter."
