Not long after sitting down, Xiao Qiao said to Lei Pan'er, "Pan'er, it's getting late. We have to ask the maids to pack up. Can you please go back?"
Lei Paner pouted, obviously not very happy, but she did not refute Lei Paner in person.
Instead, Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, "Pan'er, are you packing up and going somewhere?"
Lei Paner looked at Xiao Qiao and said to Ren Yaoqi, "My aunt asked me to move into her yard and live with her."
Xiao Qiao patted Lei Pan'er's head and said gently, "Pan'er has always lived in her second uncle's yard. I'm afraid it's not very convenient. I also want someone to keep me company. Besides, it's much more convenient for me to take care of her than her second uncle."
Lei Paner muttered softly: "Second Uncle doesn't mind Paner being troublesome. Second Uncle likes Paner the most."
"Then Pan'er doesn't want to live with Auntie?" Xiao Qiao deliberately put on a stern face. "But what did Pan'er promise Auntie before he came out?"
Lei Paner glanced at Xiao Qiao's face, which was said to be very similar to her own mother's, and said aggrievedly, "Pan'er is not unwilling, it's just..."
Xiao Qiao interrupted her with a smile and said, "Since Pan'er is not unwilling, then this matter is settled?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at them and interrupted with a smile, "I heard that it's not suitable for children to move their beds during the dry autumn. If they get sick by accident, it will be a big deal. If we want to move, we'd better wait for a month or two."
Upon hearing this, Lei Pan'er blinked her big eyes and looked at Ren Yaoqi, then at Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao frowned, looking a little unhappy: "How come I didn't know about this? Where did Miss Ren hear this?"
Ren Yaoqi didn't take it seriously and smiled faintly, "My aunt told me that my little cousin is her only child. She treasures him dearly and is afraid that he won't be taken care of properly. But as a mother, she's naturally worried about the child, and sometimes she can't help but worry too much."
Ren Yaoqi's words implied that Xiao Qiaoshi wasn't worried about the child because she wasn't the biological mother. Xiao Qiaoshi's face immediately turned pale, and she looked at Ren Yaoqi with a cold gaze: "Miss Ren, you know a lot at such a young age."
Ren Yaoqi, however, seemed unable to understand Xiao Qiao's expression. "I have a good relationship with my aunt, and I often hear her talk about it, so I learned all this. But I see that Aunt Qiao also takes good care of Pan'er. I guess she must have taken care of children before, right?"
This sentence completely changed Xiao Qiao's expression. She looked at Ren Yaoqi with a gaze as cold as a knife, and her face turned pale.
Lei Paner, however, said in a confused manner, "My aunt doesn't have any children."
Xiao Qiao took a deep breath, put her hands down on the table, pursed her lips and said nothing.
The atmosphere in the room was a little cold. Ren Yaoqi picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Xiao Jinglin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ren Yaoqi, seeming a little surprised.
Ren Yaoqi had always been a gentle person. But today, in front of Xiao Qiao, he was unusually sharp and didn't hold back when speaking. This was really unlike Ren Yaoqi's usual demeanor.
Ren Yaoqi winked at Xiao Jinglin quietly without explaining.
The atmosphere became awkward, and even the little kid Lei Paner felt uncomfortable sitting there any longer. Not long after, when Xiao Qiao once again proposed to take Lei Paner away, Lei Paner didn't refuse.
