Chapter 685: Catch Up
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Yue wasn’t bothered when her head was touched. Instead, she noticed that when the five gentlemen had bent down to touch her little head, their white sleeves were hanging on the ground.
Fortunately, the ground was very clean. Otherwise, it would have been covered in a layer of dust.
Then, Jiang Yue followed the servant girl and left.
In the backyard of the Pei residence, Madam Pei and Pei Fufu were sitting in the pavilion and talking. When she saw the servant girl bring Jiang Yue over, Madam Pei smiled and asked Pei Fufu to bring Jiang Yue to play.
Pei Fufu agreed before bending down and holding Jiang Yue’s hand to the small courtyard where she lived. “Jiang Yue, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Did you miss me?” She asked Jiang Yue as she went.
“Yes,” Jiang Yue cooperated.
Pei Fufu was naturally delighted. “I’ve missed you too. That… Uh…” She looked like she wanted to ask something. Her face was still a little red, but she stuttered and didn’t ask anything.
Jiang Yue had a feeling that Pei Fufu wanted to ask about Sanfu.
However, Pei Fufu could not bring herself to ask. There must be many reasons for that. Firstly, the upbringing that Pei Fufu had received since she was young did not allow her to do this. It would make her feel that she was out of line.
Secondly, it was naturally the shyness of the girls here to not bring stuff like these up. Moreover, with the servant girl beside her, Pei Fufu had to care about her reputation. She could not casually mention another man, afraid that gossip would spread.
In that case, Jiang Yue naturally did not take the initiative to mention Sanfu.
Pei Fufu stuttered for a long time before she changed the topic. “There’s a swing in my yard. I can push you. But Jiang Yue, can you hold on to it? Do you want me to carry you?
She was a little afraid that the child would fall off the swing.
Jiang Yue didn’t really want to play on the swing, but since she was already at the back, Pei Fufu definitely wanted to play with her. Playing on the swing was no different from playing with other things, so she naturally didn’t have any objections. However, she was still an adult and didn’t want Pei Fufu to hug her.
She said, “I can hold on.”
“Okay!” Pei Fufu happily agreed. “Then let’s give it a try. If you can really hold on to it, I’ll give you a bigger push.”
Although Pei Fufu’s courtyard was called a small courtyard, it was not small at all. There were several rooms in the courtyard, and there were peach trees planted in the courtyard. There was even a swing near the wall on the right.
The swing had two hanging ropes and was decorated with vines and flowers. It was quite beautiful.
Pei Fufu led Jiang Yue to the swing, and Jiang Yue climbed onto it. Afraid that she would fall, Pei Fufu held the swing with one hand and supported her with the other.
Pei Fufu only gave her a small push when she saw that she was sitting properly and that both her hands were holding onto the ropes.
It didn’t shake much.
“Is it fun, Jiang Yue?” Pei Fufu asked.
“It’s fun,” Jiang Yue said against her will.
“Then hold on tighter. I’m going to push it harder.”
Although she said that she pushed her hard, Pei Fufu did not use much strength to begin with. She controlled her strength as she was afraid that the child would fall off. In fact, she did not use much strength at all! After playing on the swing, Pei Fufu brought Jiang Yue into her room.
In the room, the maids had already prepared tea and fruits.
Pei Fufu carried Jiang Yue and sat on the brick bed. While letting Jiang Yue eat some fruits, she took a lot of purses, hair bands, and exquisite flowers from the side.
Her brother had told her in advance that Jiang Yue was coming and that he might ask her to help take care of her, so she had prepared a lot of things to entertain the child..
