Chapter 1080: Chapter 1078: Xiao Yu Caught in Her Own Trap
In the afternoon, Fang Ziqing took a carpool ride with the Ji Family to go home.
As she got in the car, Fang Ziqing reflexively said, "Mr. Ji..." but upon seeing a strange middle-aged man in the driver’s seat, she paused in surprise.
"Uncle Li, this is my classmate Ziqing. We’re heading the same way, do you mind giving her a lift?"
Xiao Li nodded at Fang Ziqing, "Hello, with Xiao Yu accompanying you, the ride won’t be boring."
Fang Ziqing, being straightforward, asked, "Uncle Li, where’s Mr. Ji?"
Zhu Qianyu suddenly remembered that Ji Huan was on a business trip, and she hadn’t mentioned it to her friend yet.
"He went to L City for a business trip."
"You two really have a connection, his business trip happens to take him near your place."
As Xiao Li drove, he listened to the two young women in the back seat chatter away with some frivolous gossip, inexplicably feeling much more relaxed.
Initially, he did not quite understand what attracted the young master to this Xiao Yu girl, but now, he suddenly felt he understood.
Faced with deceitful people or situations all day, when you return home, you are more willing to face those who are simpler and more straightforward. Is that the logic?
Fang Ziqing’s home was only two or three stops away from school, a couple of traffic lights later, and they were there.
After Fang Ziqing got off, Zhu Qianyu smiled apologetically at Xiao Li, "Sorry for being loud, right?"
Xiao Li laughed, "Not loud at all, I find these little gossips quite interesting, makes me feel young again."
"Your kids are probably about my age, right?" Zhu Qianyu has a character where she doesn’t neglect people who treat her well.
"Yes, the eldest daughter is the same age as Little Treasure, she’s in her junior year in college, and my son is a senior in high school, should be around your age."
The conversation continued all the way, and when the car passed the fruit store at the intersection, Zhu Qianyu asked Xiao Li to stop, and she went in to buy a bunch of fruits.
"Actually, you don’t need to buy them, Aunt Guan usually stocks the fruits and vegetables in the house."
Holding a big bag of fruits, Zhu Qianyu said, "No, I’m planning to make fruit pudding for Beibei Guoguo."
Xiao Li smiled and shook his head, "Those two little rascals have won you over so quickly?"
"Beibei and Guoguo are adorable!"
More than just adorable!
As Zhu Qianyu opened the fence, she was immediately greeted by the two little ones clinging to her legs, their rosy faces making her want to give each a kiss.
"Auntie, where’s Uncle?"
Beibei clung to her leg, blinked her big dark eyes, and asked.
"Little Uncle went on a business trip, he’ll be back in a few days."
Zhu Qianyu handed the fruits to Aunt Guan, bent down, and led the two little ones into the house.
"Bad Uncle, won’t accompany Beibei!"
The siblings were basically in echo mode, one talking, the other repeating.
So Guoguo said too, "Bad Uncle, won’t accompany Guoguo!"
Zhu Qianyu watched the two little rascals change from cheerful to pouty in an instant, amused, bent down and kissed each of their pouty lips.
"Isn’t it nice that Sister Xiao Yu is here with Beibei and Guoguo? Sister Xiao Yu will make fruit pudding for you!"
Beibei and Guoguo instantly beamed, hopping around, cheering, "Want to eat! Want to eat!"
Zhu Qianyu pinched their cheeks, "Little foodies!"
Beibei and Guoguo giggled and said, "We’re all foodies!"
Zhu Qianyu couldn’t help but laugh, and then added, "Greedies!"
"We’re all greedies!" Beibei and Guoguo chimed in in unison.
Such uniform responses made it clear these two little rascals have been called foodies and greedies quite often!
"Beibei and Guoguo, are you two pestering Auntie for snacks again?"
Nuonuo’s voice emerged from inside, and as she spoke, she had already stepped out the door.
In the Ji Family, everyone in front of Beibei and Guoguo calls Zhu Qianyu ’Auntie’ with remarkable consistency. It seems Zhu Qianyu as an Aunt is there to stay, whether she wants to or not!
"Not at all!" The two little ones seemed quite afraid of Mommy, denied immediately, squinted their eyes at Zhu Qianyu, and then let go of her hand to run to Nuonuo.
The steps were a bit high, so Beibei and Guoguo squatted down, lifted their little bottoms, and climbed onto the platform in front of the house like little kittens using both hands and feet.
"Mommy, Beibei didn’t!" Beibei, being a little more agile than his sister, stood in front of Nuonuo after climbing up, looking up, and showing his empty hands.
Guoguo followed up, raising her little hands and waving them, "Mommy... Guoguo didn’t either!"
Zhu Qianyu had caught up, "Sister Han!"
"Xiao Yu, you’re back. Go inside and wash your face, Aunt Guan made sweet soup, go to the kitchen and have a bowl to fill your tummy. Daddy and Mommy usually get home around 6:30."
Even though this was Zhu Qianyu’s second time visiting the Ji Family, no matter who it was, they already saw her as part of the Ji Family.
"Oh, okay." Zhu Qianyu wanted to be reserved, but couldn’t.
In this house, from Ji Rui Letong down to Beibei and Guoguo, everyone basically treats her as family. It would seem ungrateful not to accept.
"Auntie, Beibei wants some too!"
"Guoguo wants some too!"
The two little ones jumped over again. Apparently, they’d figured out Zhu Qianyu, like Little Uncle, indulged them particularly.
"Okay, Auntie will take you to have sweet soup!"
Zhu Qianyu found herself unconsciously sucked into the little rascals’ circle.
Following the two small and one big, Nuonuo stifled a laugh, bent over, and rubbed their heads.
Beibei and Guoguo simultaneously turned to look at Mommy, sticking out their tongues to make faces, prompting Nuonuo to give them a thumbs up.
Zhu Qianyu led the two little ones to the bathroom to wash their hands, which had a child-sized sink. Once inside, before Zhu Qianyu could teach them how to wash, the two little rascals squeezed out some hand soap themselves. First, the brother took his sister’s chubby hand and cleaned each finger, and after the sister’s hand was clean, she learned from her brother and grabbed his chubby little hands, slowly rubbing them clean. Once done, both pairs of chubby hands reached under the faucet for rinsing.
During the process, the two were singing an unknown nursery rhyme, their mumbling couldn’t be identified by Zhu Qianyu, but she could tell, the tune was very cheerful.
Zhu Qianyu had expected these two little rascals to be pampered little lord and lady with everything done for them.
But the scene before her showed, these youngsters, though small, weren’t anything like spoiled, and their independence seemed to be quite strong.
Zhu Qianyu watched them wash while washing her own hands, seeing Beibei use his wet little hand to point at Guoguo’s nose, and Guoguo reaching to stroke Beibei’s face...
