But the little girl was very pretty, and Ming Qiangwei couldn't resist her cuteness.
She might be jealous of her peers, but not a little girl.
So she gave a proper self-introduction: "My name is Ming Qiangwei."
"Sister Rose, your name is so beautiful!"
Mengmeng revealed a childlike smile.
Ming Qiangwei was taken aback; she had always felt that her name was rather crude.
The name Ming Qingyue is truly beautiful; it evokes a sense of otherworldly elegance.
But when faced with genuine praise from a child, she couldn't bring herself to say anything wrong.
She smiled, stroked Mengmeng's soft hair, her heart softened, and her voice became gentler: "Thank you for your compliment."
Mengmeng smiled sweetly at her in return.
Before the two had exchanged more than a few words, Jiang Tian came out carrying three bowls of wontons.
Fortunately, her water-based abilities allow her to control many things; otherwise, it would be quite difficult for someone with only two hands to carry three bowls of wontons.
"Try it. I'm not very good at cooking other dishes, but I'm an expert at making wontons. My daughter especially loves them."
Jiang Tian's enthusiasm touched Ming Qiangwei.
Ming Qiangwei's eyes felt a little warm.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. Perhaps she craved the warmth of home too much, but no one gave it to her. So when she met a gentle woman in a foreign land who offered her a bowl of wontons, it stirred up a flood of emotions within her.
No one knew that Ming Qiangwei's favorite food was wontons.
While her parents drove her younger sister to and from school, they left her to her own devices.
Even though she would be out of school in half an hour, they simply weren't willing to wait.
Such cold treatment would break Ming Qiangwei's heart, and during this time she would do some things for herself.
There's a wonton shop next to the school that makes really delicious wontons.
Most importantly, that aunt treated Ming Qiangwei very well.
Gradually, she became a regular there.
Bowls of wontons warmed her lonely and bitter childhood.
As she ate, a tear fell into Ming Qiangwei's mouth.
When she was at her most heartbroken and dejected, it was Jiang Tian who offered her some warmth.
After finishing the wontons, Ming Qiangwei said goodbye.
Jiang Tian didn't stop her and even let Mengmeng say goodbye to her.
When she left her house, Ming Qiangwei felt a pang of reluctance.
She shook her head, suppressing her inexplicable thoughts.
When she returned to her residence, she saw Shen Yunchen standing there, seemingly lost in thought.
His expression was cold and stern; his former gentleness was gone.
Seeing her return, Shen Yunchen slightly curled the corners of his mouth, as if the cold and stern person had disappeared.
He asked Ming Qiangwei gently, "Qiangwei, where did you go? I don't know where to look for you. This place is too chaotic. You have to take good care of yourself."
Ming Qiangwei suddenly woke up.
His thoughtfulness was merely verbal; at least Jiang Tian would cook her a bowl of wontons.
"I didn't go anywhere, I just wandered around and ran into Jiang Tian on the way, so I went to her house for breakfast."
Upon hearing the name Jiang Tian, Shen Yunchen's smile vanished.
He stared at Ming Qiangwei: "Did she treat you to breakfast?"
Ming Qiangwei looked at him without flinching: "Yes, I also spoke to her daughter. That little girl is very pretty."
They knew Jiang Tian had an adopted daughter before they arrived, so it wasn't a big problem.
Ming Qiangwei carefully observed the fluctuations in Shen Yunchen's expression. When she mentioned that Jiang Tian had taken the initiative to invite her to dinner, the trembling in Shen Yunchen's expression revealed his emotional instability.
