Single family estate.
"Madam and Mr., you are back. The second wife is back. She told me that if the madam is back, she wants me to talk to the madam."
As soon as Zhou Yaya entered the house, the maid told her the news that Li Xia had returned.
"The second wife is back?!" Zhou Yaya's eyes widened when she heard the news. She asked in surprise, "Where is the wife now?"
She turned around and glanced around the living room of the villa, but did not see Li Xia.
The maid replied, "The second wife has gone back to her room to rest. I noticed that the wife didn't look very well. It seemed that she had caught a cold and was feeling a little uncomfortable. Auntie made a cup of ginger water for the wife. I came to the second wife's room not long ago. When I knocked on the door and went in, the wife had fallen asleep. I called her twice in a low voice, but the second wife didn't wake up. So I warmed up the ginger water and came downstairs. I don't know if the second wife has woken up at this time. Is the wife looking for the second wife? Or should I go upstairs to check?"
She blinked, looked up at Zhou Yaya and said.
Zhou Yaya waved her hand and said, "No need. Just go upstairs and clean up a guest room. I'll go check on the madam."
"yes."
The maid nodded.
"A-Ting, I'll leave my parents to you. The servant just said Xiao Xia is back and is upstairs. I'll go upstairs with Little Tangguo to check on her."
Zhou Yaya was the first to enter the house.
So the people who came in later didn't hear what the maid said to her.
Shan Ting heard this and said, "Xiao Xia is back?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yaya nodded. "Yes, the servant said Xiao Xia looked a little tired. She probably didn't get enough rest last night. She should be catching up on some sleep in her room now. I'll go up and take a look first."
"I'll go up too."
When Li Wanshun heard the news that his daughter had returned, he also wanted to follow Zhou Yaya upstairs.
"Mr. Li, Xiao Xia might be sleeping at this time. If there are too many of us going up, we might wake her up. Please wait downstairs for a while. I'll go upstairs and take a look first. You can come up later if it's convenient."
Zhou Yaya said tactfully.
"Mr. Li, I can understand your feelings, but I agree with what Xiaoya said. Let's wait downstairs and let my wife go upstairs alone to see Xiaoxia first." Shan Ting said.
He now has a lot of things he wants to ask Li Xia in person.
But he also knew that now was not the right time.
After listening to what Zhou Yaya and Shan Ting said, Li Wanshun nodded and said, "Well, okay."
"Mom and Dad, I won't greet you. Little Candy hasn't seen her mother much in the past two days and she feels insecure. I'll carry her upstairs to see Xiao Xia. Don't be restrained here. This is our home. There is no distinction between you and me."
After Zhou Yaya persuaded Li Wanshun, she spoke to Zhou's parents before going upstairs.
Then.
She then went upstairs with the little candy in her arms.
After hearing the maid say that Li Xia was resting, Zhou Yaya deliberately slowed down her footsteps when going upstairs. She tried not to make too much noise to avoid waking up the sleeping Li Xia.
Zhou Yaya whispered to Little Candy, "Little Candy, Mom is back. She is very tired and is sleeping in her room. When you go in with your aunt later, you must not cry or make loud noises, or you will wake Mom up and she won't be able to rest well. Without a good rest, our resistance will decrease, just like Grandpa, and we will get sick easily. If Mom gets sick, she won't be able to accompany you, Little Candy. So, Little Candy, be good and don't wake Mom up, okay?"
She wanted to discuss it with Little Candy before opening the door.
"Okay~"
Zhou Yaya didn’t know how much Little Tangguo understood.
Anyway, after he finished speaking, the little girl readily uttered the word "good" in a baby voice.
Seeing that Little Candy was serious about what she was doing, Zhou Yaya raised her hand and gently scratched her nose. "Our Little Candy has become a clever little ghost now."
“Bang—”
Zhou Yaya tiptoed and pushed open Li Xia's door. The little Candy in her arms obediently did not make a sound, but just stared at the door that was opening a little bit with her round eyes without blinking.
My mother hasn't spent enough time with me for two days.
No matter how sensible little Candy is, he is just a one-year-old child.
Children in this period need their parents' company the most.
From birth to the time she learned to speak, little Tangguo has been inseparable from Li Xia.
In the past, she would take her daughter with her wherever she went.
A situation like this one has almost never happened before.
That's exactly why.
Little Candy will feel very uneasy and start crying.
She just wanted to use her crying to get into her mother's arms.
Zhou Yaya walked into the room and looked up to see Li Xia sleeping soundly.
She fell asleep with a frown on her face.
It seems like there is something that makes me uneasy.
Li Xia curled up and wrapped herself in a quilt.
Even so, she still felt cold.
She was so exhausted that she didn't even notice someone entered the room.
When Zhou Yaya saw Li Xia’s trembling body, she hurried forward, bent down slightly, and reached out to touch her forehead.
The hot touch was immediately transmitted from the palm of her hand to her nerves.
"Oh no, little Candy, your mother has a high fever." Zhou Yaya put little Candy in the walker beside her and said to her, "Little Candy, stay here and don't move. Auntie will call the doctor to come over."
"Woo woo~"
Although little Tangguo was young and didn't understand what a fever meant, she knew that Li Xia was not feeling well when she saw her mother curled up in bed.
