"No!"
"No."
No, no.
Apart from Qin Qingyu, who was resting in the house, the eldest, third, and youngest brothers all shook their heads at Mo Qianshang in unison, indicating that they had no problems.
But listening to Qin Yuya's soft and weak voice, Mo Qianshang just couldn't believe that the little girl wasn't frightened. She must have been afraid that she would worry, which was why she answered so sensibly.
After gently patting the three children's fluffy heads, Mo Qianshang reached out and hugged Qin Yuya, leading the children toward Qin Baiyi, her words filled with gratitude.
“Young Master in White, although we are strangers who met by chance, you have helped my family a lot. I really don’t know how to repay your kindness. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Qianshang realized that she didn't actually know anything about the man in front of her, such as what kind of assassin organization he was. If she were asked to kill good people and loyal subjects, what should she do?
Then he quickly added with a smile, "Of course, what you do must not violate the law or morality."
Originally, Qin Baiyi looked at Mo Qianshang with a hint of reproach because Mo Qianshang only cared about others and not the children.
Hearing the other person consider him a potentially wicked person, the atmosphere around him suddenly turned cold, and his words became chilling.
"With your limited abilities, you can't even protect a child. I'm afraid you can't do what I need to do."
Being suddenly belittled naturally upset Mo Qianshang, but the person in front of her was the children's benefactor, so she couldn't lash out at him and could only continue to speak kindly to him.
"How do you know I can't do it if you don't tell me?"
"Forget it, you'd be better off spending more time with the children." With a frosty expression, Qin Baiyi withdrew his gaze from Mo Qianshang and got up to return to his small room.
Knowing that Qin Baiyi had always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside, Mo Qianshang took two deep breaths to ease her discomfort and began to play with the children in the yard.
In her opinion, no matter how the children answered, they would all be a little scared to encounter bandits at such a young age. Letting the children have fun might help them forget about those things.
Recalling some methods her kindergarten teacher friend had mentioned, Mo Qianshang simply put aside her adult demeanor and patiently played games with the children.
They even brought out toys like slingshots, hopscotch, pebbles, and cat's cradle...
In short, the children had a great time, and Mo Qianshang felt a little relieved seeing their carefree appearance.
Perhaps because they were having too much fun outside, Qin Qingyu, who was resting inside, was also attracted out. With another child joining them, Mo Qianshang simply retreated to the kitchen to cook for them.
While picking vegetables, she would also keep an eye on the situation in the yard.
She hadn't really noticed before, as she was always standing face-to-face with the children, but now, looking at them from the side, she immediately realized that each of them was incredibly thin.
Especially after being frightened, her fair and delicate face was covered with a hint of weakness, which was truly heartbreaking!
Thinking that she still had a lot of money in her hands, which was more than enough to support her to buy some health supplements in the mall.
Seeing that the children weren't paying attention to her, Mo Qianshang pretended to look for something behind the door, secretly closed the kitchen door, and calmly selected items from the mall that could help nourish the children.
After reading through the instruction manuals and product descriptions of many items until they were practically worn out, Mo Qianshang finally made a decision and bought some tonics that could be added to the children's food.
These things are different from ordinary supplements. They are the result of joint research by many scientists in her world. They have almost no side effects and no strange taste, making it especially convenient for her to secretly add them to her daily meals.
However, considering that this place is different from the world she used to live in, and that people's physical constitutions may also be different, Mo Qianshang did not buy a large quantity at once, but only a week's worth.
Of course, she received a share of those tonics as well.
After all, she had undergone drug training, so she was more acutely aware of any problems with the drug in her body.
After finishing these tasks, the sounds of the children playing outside gradually subsided, presumably because they were tired from playing. Knowing that she couldn't delay any longer, Mo Qianshang quickly put the exchanged pills into her pocket and continued cooking.
In the midst of her busyness, Mo Qianshang did not notice that the kitchen door she had closed had been accidentally opened by the children while they were playing.
Just as she crushed the pills into powder and mixed them into the rice, a cold gaze suddenly shot into the kitchen through the crack.
What kind of medicine did this woman give the children?
Seeing this, Qin Baiyi suddenly wanted to rush into the kitchen and question Mo Qianshang about what she was planning to do to the children.
After spending these few days together, Qin Baiyi could see that Mo Qianshang was genuinely kind to the children, and he lowered his guard around her considerably, though he still occasionally felt dissatisfied with her behavior.
But at this moment, Mo Qianshang actually drugged the children, which he truly could not tolerate.
Just as he took a few steps and was about to push open the kitchen door, he suddenly saw Mo Qianshang use a clean spoon to scoop a large spoonful of rice and feed it to her.
After chewing and savoring it carefully, I swallowed it.
His satisfied expression didn't look like he was eating something bad at all; rather, it looked like he was enjoying a delicious meal.
Qin Baiyi's outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. He really couldn't understand this woman's ways anymore.
At this moment, Mo Qianshang finally snapped out of her focused cooking state and noticed someone outside the kitchen. Without looking, she assumed it was the children and greeted them directly.
"You've been playing for a long time, don't just stand outside, come in quickly, wash your hands, and serve the food!"
The sudden order made Qin Baiyi a little uncomfortable. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that the order was directed at him. After hesitating for a moment, he pushed open the door and went in, his voice indifferent.
"I have washed my hands."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to pick up two plates of food and carry them to the stone table in the courtyard. The children followed suit and obediently carried their food as well.
Unexpectedly, it was Qin Baiyi outside the door. Mo Qianshang couldn't help but feel worried, wondering if the man had discovered her adding the tonic...
Throughout the meal, Mo Qianshang observed Qin Baiyi closely, but failed to detect anything unusual. She had no choice but to put her mind at ease for the time being.
Anyway, she hasn't done anything wrong, so she's not afraid of ghosts knocking on her door.
With a sense of relief, Mo Qianshang suddenly felt that the busyness of the past two days had left her both tired and hungry. After finishing a bowl of rice, she went to get another half bowl.
She didn't put down her bowl until her stomach was completely full, and when she looked up, she met Qin Baiyi's scrutinizing gaze.
Thinking that the other person was annoyed that she, a woman, was eating too much, Mo Qianshang was not shy at all and even chatted with the other person in a very casual manner.
"Young master in white, there's no need to look at me like that. I have plenty of food; you can eat more if you like."
