Chapter 297: Daughter’s Dream

Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Daughter’s Dream

Song Yi was baffled by her bizarre train of thought and didn’t know what to say.

He twisted his eyebrows back and forth, but couldn’t squeeze out a word for a long time.

"Alright, then I’ll head back first."

As she stood up, Song Yi also stood up.

The two were too close, and since he was taller, she almost bumped into his chest.

Instinctively, she took a step back.

But the bed was right behind her, and Jhiang Yuan fell straight backward without checking.

"Oh no..."

Song Yi quickly stretched out his long arm and scooped her up.

Then, he just stood there without moving.

His large hand was on Jhiang Yuan’s waist, as if he had been electrocuted.

"You, you let go of me..."

Song Yi seemed to come back to his senses and quickly pulled her up before letting go.

It was so embarrassing, damn it.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t say anything further and nearly bolted out the door.

She almost lost all face, and when Qin Yue opened the door for her, she was quite surprised.

"Honey, what’s wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

Uh, I got careless, didn’t I...

"It’s so cold, Mom. I got chilled, I’m going to warm up first."

Oh, how could she feel like this, now she just wanted to scream, twist, and crawl away in darkness...

Xiao Nuan followed her into the room and was surprised to see Jhiang Yuan pacing back and forth with a regretful look on her face.

"Mommy, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing... Oh, Xiao Nuan, are you sleepy, do you want Mommy to take you to play?"

The little one quickly nodded, she knew everything.

Jhiang Yuan took off her coat, then laid out the blankets and tucked a hot-water bottle for each of them.

After finishing this, she took her daughter into the space.

Song Yi’s sudden confession was okay for her.

But the embarrassment afterward was truly mortifying.

"Xiao Nuan, do you want to pick vegetables with Mommy?"

"Yes!"

The little girl was very happy, as picking activities always brought a sense of joy from the harvest.

Jhiang Yuan took out two small baskets, one for each of them, mother and daughter.

They started with the tomatoes, which were lower to the ground, so Xiao Nuan could easily reach them.

"Mommy, look how big this one is, it’s as big as Xiao Nuan’s face..."

"Oh, my dear, you’re amazing. You can handle such a big tomato, that’s so impressive..."

Jhiang Yuan mainly used the praise mode, which her daughter really appreciated, and worked even harder.

"Darling, about this space, you must never tell anyone, and also, don’t talk carelessly about what we eat or drink, okay?"

"Mommy, Grandma tells me this every day, I understand.

Sister Jingjing doesn’t have it, and neither does Uncle Song’s house. If I told them,

they would come and take our nice place. Xiao Nuan won’t talk."

Nice place was a nickname Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue came up with for the space.

"Good, my darling is the best.

Today, Mommy wants to teach you a lesson, even if you meet someone who tries to pry information out of you.

Like if someone asks, has Xiao Nuan eaten anything delicious? Where do you usually play, how should you answer?"

The little girl swiftly plucked a tomato and placed it in her basket.

"I would say Mommy told me not to talk to strangers..."

Uh, that answer was indeed beyond her expectation.

"What if it’s someone we know, like Aunt Mianmian..."

Jhiang Yuan was actually looking forward to her daughter’s response by then, always feeling that the child was clever beyond her years.

"So I said, we’ll eat whatever you eat, it’s all the same..."

Uh, okay then.

"Xiao Nuan, you must remember, you can’t talk about anything regarding this nice place, or it will belong to others.

They will also catch us, and Xiao Nuan will never see her mom and grandparents again."

"Don’t..."

The little girl suddenly screamed, threw down the basket, and ran over, beginning to sob quietly.

Jhiang Yuan’s heart seized, she had scared her too much.

Really, the child certainly took it to heart.

"I don’t want mom to go, I don’t want to be apart from mom.

Grandma will hit me, dad will scold me and call me a bastard, that aunt will twist me, wuu wuu wuu..."

The little girl spoke clearly and eloquently, but Jhiang Yuan felt like she was falling into an ice pit.

"Xiao Nuan, what are you talking about, don’t scare mom..."

"Mom, that day when I woke up, I just remember that mom was gone.

Grandma hit me, told me to do the laundry, calling me a financial burden.

Dad, too, he called me a bastard.

That aunt told dad not to be angry with a child, then turned around and twisted me.

They locked me in the room, the windows were too high, I couldn’t close them..."

Jhiang Yuan was shocked beyond belief, what was all of this about?

Why did it feel so much like something from a previous life, so was it not a dream Xiao Nuan had, did she come back with me as well?

"Baby, tell mom quickly, when did you have this dream?"

She dared not ask more, could only say it was a dream.

She couldn’t imagine what her darling had suffered in her past life.

No wonder she was still frozen to death even in her clothes.

So it was them who had opened the window, Xia Chaoyang, it really wouldn’t be a pity even if you died a million times!

"It was the day mom took me away from our original home, I also don’t know what happened.

Mom, I’m so scared!"

As she spoke, the daughter threw herself into her embrace again.

Jhiang Yuan was filled with regret, she really should die, how could she have believed that family’s words.

How could she leave her daughter with those heartless people?

She had naively thought, being a daughter of the Xia family, those people wouldn’t go as far as to endanger her life.

But in the end, she overestimated their shamelessness!

"Baby, don’t be afraid, from now on mom will always be with you, don’t worry.

I won’t let anything happen to you, mom loves you."

Jhiang Yuan consoled her for a long time until Xiao Nuan finally calmed down.

She thought her daughter knew nothing and was always very sensible.

Who would know, these days, how scared she was.

Just thinking about it made her feel terribly guilty.

It seems, her daughter must stay with her in the future.

Yet unfortunately, she needed to spend a few days at the experimental field, taking the child was definitely not possible.

Qin Yue not going to work for a long time wasn’t good either.

Thinking it over, she decided to let Jhiang Xingzhi watch over the house for a couple of days.

Once their side was finished and they returned to the greenhouse, she could then take leave.

By then, she would try not to go out.

Now, there was quite a bit of money at home.

Some things were no longer necessary, if it meant taking her daughter to the greenhouse, it wasn’t impossible.

But it was still inconvenient, staying at home was also fine.

Having made up her mind, the two of them picked some more tomatoes, washed a couple and brought them out to her parents.

She also shared her recent decision, and naturally, Jhiang Xingzhi had no problems with it.

However, grandma would need to take care of her for one more day, as he had to ask for leave.
