Of course he would be nice to his young wife. After all, it was his young wife who pulled him out of the darkness. But Lin Qingwan's insulting words to her still hurt his heart.
“Dangdangdang…”
Cheng Maixiang suddenly opened the door to the inner room, half-knelt on her knees, and made an invitation gesture, "Princess Yingying, please make your grand entrance."
In this day and age, you can’t just call someone a princess casually. Once you’re reported, it’ll be a big deal.
Lin Qingwan's expression suddenly changed. She was about to speak out to stop them, but she immediately saw Yingying following behind Cheng Maixiang, and she was stunned.
Yingying's hair was combed into a high ponytail by Cheng Maixiang, with a pretty hairband tied on it. She wore the pink little skirt with fluffy hem embroidered with small star-shaped flowers. A handkerchief was tied around her slender neck as a silk scarf. The end of the handkerchief was tied with a bow, tilted to one side, making the child look more playful and cute.
Lin Qingwan rubbed her eyes in disbelief, "Yingying, is it really you?"
Yingying had just seen herself in the mirror after changing her clothes. Seeing her mother was also surprised and couldn't believe it, her heart suddenly seemed to be blooming with flowers.
"Well, I told you Yingying is the prettiest girl in the entire county. Do you believe me now?"
Seeing the surprised expressions of Lin Jiayu and Lin Qingwan, Cheng Maixiang could hardly hide her pride.
"Come on, let's go out with auntie and stroll around the county town. Let's show our beautiful little Yingying to everyone."
Although Yingying was still a little reluctant to go out and see people, she was a child at heart. Seeing how beautiful she was, she still wanted people to see her. Besides, she was already obedient to Cheng Maixiang at this time, so she took Cheng Maixiang's hand and went out happily.
"Yingying, Yingying is willing to go out now."
Lin Qingwan was filled with joy. Ever since Yingying was old enough to understand things, she had been reluctant to go out and deal with strangers. That was why she had not been enrolled in school until now. This had almost become a source of worry for her. She had never expected that Cheng Maixiang, whom she had only met twice, could actually find a way to get her out of the house.
"Come on, big sister, let's go together."
"Wow, what a beautiful child!"
"Her little dress is so pretty, Mom, I want one too!"
"What a cute child, what's his name and how old is he?"
Along the way, all the pedestrians they met praised Yingying's beauty and cuteness. There were even parents of children who came up to ask where she bought her skirt. When they learned that it was made by Cheng Maixiang, some people offered money to Cheng Maixiang to help make it, but she politely declined.
Yingying listened to the compliments along the way and was shy at first, hiding behind Cheng Maixiang. Gradually, she relaxed a little and smiled sweetly at those who praised her.
Cheng Maixiang discovered long ago that Yingying's autism was due to the fact that she was abandoned by her father, so she had a strong inferiority complex and denied everything about herself. Only when she heard more people's praise would she realize that she was also a likable child, no different from other children, and even better than others. Only then would she begin to return to normal.
You see, it's only been two hours, and she is no longer so scared that she clings to Cheng Maixiang, and she even dares to let go occasionally and look at the beautiful flowers on the roadside.
It was already noon, so Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu bought some food on the way and prepared to have a picnic in the suburbs.
The four of them chose a deserted forest. Lin Jiayu and Lin Qingwan were busy packing up their food while Cheng Maixiang and Yingying were strolling in the woods. Suddenly, Yingying pulled Cheng Maixiang's hand and said anxiously, "Oh no, aunt! Someone jumped into the river!"
