Xia Lan turned to look at Yuan Yuan, only to find that Yuan Yuan was just staring at her without moving.
He silently watched Xia Lan for a very long time.
Xia Lan also noticed that Yuan Yuan's mood was not right. After kissing Tuan Tuan, she slowly walked to Yuan Yuan and squatted down.
Take the initiative to admit your mistakes.
"It's Mommy's fault, Mommy came home too late! Yuanyuan, don't be angry, okay?"
Seeing Xia Lan take the initiative to admit her mistake, Yuan Yuan finally showed a hint of emotion.
Slowly reaching out her little hand, Yuanyuan touched Xia Lan's face. After confirming that it really was Xia Lan, she rushed into her arms.
"Mother."
With a soft call, Xia Lan felt a dampness in her arms.
Touching his round little cheeks, I saw that his face was covered in tears, but he stubbornly refused to make a sound.
Her little face was full of grievances, making Xia Lan feel like a sinner for all time.
That's so damn bad, why did it take so long to get home?
"Mommy was wrong. I won't go out for so long again! Please forgive Mommy, okay?"
Xia Lan whispered while holding Yuan Yuan.
Yuanyuan nodded gently in Xia Lan's arms.
Clutching Xia Lan's clothes tightly, she cried silently.
Tuantuan had already regained her high spirits, especially after seeing Xia Lan return. She was as happy as a little parrot and wanted to tell Xia Lan everything that had happened in the past few days.
However, her language skills are not yet fully developed, even though she tries very hard to explain everything.
But in Xia Lan's eyes, it was still...
"Mommy...Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, be good, let's wash..."
Xia Lan tried her best to respond to Tuan Tuan, but unfortunately she couldn't understand the fragmented words...
I can only guess that Tuantuan was saying that they had been very good these past few days, listened to their grandma, and washed their hands obediently.
"Oh, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are both very good. They listen to Grandma and can even wash their hands by themselves, right?"
Xia Lan felt a little uneasy, but she figured that must be what it meant.
"Um!"
Tuantuan nodded happily and patted her chest.
"Tuantuan is the best girl."
Xia Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief; at least the translation was correct.
"Tuantuan said that while you were away for the past two days, she took Yuanyuan to wash her hands and she accidentally fell down, but she was very brave and didn't cry. Isn't she great?"
Xiao Yuqin came out carrying the food and explained to Xia Lan.
"Mom, you understand all of that?"
Xia Lan's eyes widened, surprised that Xiao Yuqin actually understood everything.
"I was watching from the side, of course I know!"
Xiao Yuqin laughed and said that she was right next to them at the time and saw everything clearly.
"..."
Xia Lan thought Xiao Yuqin was really that amazing!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xiao Yuqin laughed loudly; if she hadn't seen it, she wouldn't have understood it either.
The little guy has no problem speaking, it's just that when he speaks fast, his speech becomes a bit jumbled up or he skips words.
"Tuantuan is the best!"
Tuantuan patted her chest confidently.
Xia Lan was pleased by Tuan Tuan's coaxing.
Xiao Yuqin prepared a table full of dishes, and Xia Lan ate happily. Xiao Yuqin was also happy to watch her eat.
"You must be exhausted from the journey."
"How's it going? Is everything going smoothly?"
Xiao Yuqin looked at Xia Lan and asked with a smile.
Xia Lan nodded.
"It went fairly smoothly. I did everything I wanted to do. Now all that's left is to see how it goes."
Xia Lan told Xiao Yuqin everything that had happened along the way, and Xiao Yuqin listened attentively.
Without Qin Yu, Xia Lan is no longer that pampered girl, but an independent woman.
Xiao Yuqin felt both gratified and heartbroken.
She didn't have to do so much; with just a word, Xiao Guoqiang could have taken care of everything for her.
But to avoid overthinking, she chose to do it herself and keep herself busy.
Xia Lan was nothing like the spoiled girl she was in front of Qin Yu.
The person who let her act spoiled without restraint is no longer here...
She wouldn't need to act cute anymore.
Where is Grandpa?
Xia Lan looked around, but it seemed that Xiao Guoqiang was nowhere to be seen.
"My mom caught me and took me back!"
Xiao Yuqin chuckled. The day after Xia Lan left, Xiao Guoqiang was scolded by his mother over the phone and hurriedly packed his things to go home.
"Before he leaves, let me tell you that he is waiting for you in the capital."
"I see."
Xia Lan chuckled softly.
After coaxing Tuantuan and Yuanyuan to sleep, Xia Lan returned to the shop, where Xiao Ling and the others had already laid out all the clothes.
"You're back? Take a look, is there anything else that needs to be changed?"
Xiaoling looked at Xia Lan excitedly.
Xia Lan nodded, rearranged the clothes she had hung up, and changed their positions.
The small clothing store immediately appeared much brighter.
Charan placed all the new models at the bottom, while the older models were placed at the top.
This puzzled Xiaoling.
"Shouldn't all the new models be displayed there?"
"If we put it down here, won't we be unable to see it at all?"
Xia Lan glanced at Xiao Ling and smiled at her.
"You can come in as a customer and take a look, just like you're choosing your own clothes."
Although Xiaoling didn't understand, she still did as Xia Lan said.
I was drawn to the clothes in the store from afar. Although they were all older styles, they looked different because of the lighting.
Upon entering the store, Xiaoling was immediately drawn to the new clothes in front of her. She didn't even look up; she didn't glance at the clothes hanging on the shelves. Her eyes were completely fixed on the outfit that Xia Lan had placed in front of her.
"This dress is really nice."
