Chapter 82: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 82: Almond Cream
Qi Wangfei looked at the little girl's adorable, slightly furrowed brows and couldn't help but smile.
She sighed inwardly: Children are so cute when they don't understand anything!
But it's hard to say once they grow up.
Look at Feng Xuanbin, then at Little Six...
Unable to watch the little girl struggle, Qi Wangfei gently said, "Suisui, if you can't finish it, just take a few sips to taste it. If you like it, we can have more tomorrow."
Feng Xuanrui had already been salivating when the almond cream was brought out.
Being away from home for more than a month, he missed these treats dearly!
So, now that the food was served, he couldn't wait to enjoy it.
In his eagerness to eat, he temporarily forgot about his sister.
Hearing his mother’s voice, Feng Xuanrui turned and said with a smile, “Yes, if you can’t finish it, just taste it. If you like it, we can have more tomorrow. And we have not just almond cream, but also osmanthus soup, jasmine tea, and in summer, we’ll have lactose snow, ginger honey water—sweet and delicious!”
Feng Xuanbin had already drunk two big mouthfuls.
Hearing Little Six’s words, fearing he might be left out, he hurriedly swallowed and said, “Yes, yes, summer is the best! We have so many treats, but my favorite is still the kumquat balls. They’re especially sweet, one bite and they’ll make your teeth ache!”
Feng Xuanbo had been quietly listening and occasionally glancing at Suisui.
Upon hearing Feng Xuanbin brag about kumquat balls, Feng Xuanbo thought for a moment and said softly, “Sister, don’t listen to him. Even if they’re sweet, we need to eat in moderation. You’re still using milk teeth. If they’re damaged, you can replace them, but once you grow up and if your teeth get damaged, you won’t be able to replace them!”
Mentioning teeth, Feng Xuanbin, who had just finished replacing his milk teeth, hurriedly covered his mouth.
He remembered how his milk teeth had turned black from excessive eating and was still scared!
Fortunately, he had new teeth.
But kumquat balls are really delicious!
If Qi Wangfei had heard this, she might have sighed: Can they not be delicious? One pound of oranges, half a pound of honey.
The brothers all encouraged her to try, and Suisui was indeed a bit tempted.
Here, no one would mind if she ate a lot, and no one would think that wanting to eat was a shameful thing.
Suisui obediently took a spoon and had a tiny sip.
As soon as it touched her lips, her eyes lit up.
Those bright and sparkling eyes warmed people’s hearts.
Qi Wangfei watched, unable to look away.
She thought, at first, she only pitied this child’s fate.
Now, the more she looked, the more she felt...
Heavens, this is her long-lost daughter!
This is her daughter!
So cute and obedient, who can resist touching her?
Qi Wangfei struggled to restrain herself but couldn’t help it. Gently extending her hand, she lightly wiped the side of Suisui’s face with a handkerchief.
In reality, there was nothing on her face.
But Qi Wangfei was just finding an excuse for her actions.
Suisui, feeling her mother’s tender touch, tilted her head obediently, letting Qi Wangfei do as she wished.
Qi Wangfei: …!
It’s over, she’s fallen!
Heavens, who took her daughter all those years ago?
Upon reflection…
Oh, sorry.
She never had a daughter.
Thinking of this, Qi Wangfei’s heart ached.
But it’s okay, not having given birth doesn’t matter.
No one says that you can’t raise a child just because you didn’t give birth.
Seeing Qi Wangfei’s eyes, as clear and clean as a little deer, looking at her, Qi Wangfei gently touched the little girl’s cheek with the back of her hand, her expression affectionate, her tone gentle, “If you can’t drink any more, we’ll stop. Tomorrow, I’ll have them make tea for you.”
Qi Wangfei had consulted Dr. Liu.
Qi Wangfei had not had a good past, her body was weak, and her constitution was cold.
Normally, she shouldn’t drink tea.
But if it’s warming red tea, a small amount is okay.
Qi Wangfei thought, there are plenty of people in the manor who can make tea.
The tea leaves are just a decoration; the main thing is the ingredients added when making the tea.
Let me think, what can replenish qi and blood?
Longan and red dates are a must, right?
What about bird’s nest?
Qi Wangfei felt she still didn’t know enough. After she got the children to sleep, she needed to ask Dr. Liu.
Suisui obediently drank two sips, her little belly already swollen, so she couldn’t drink more.
She put down the spoon and sat there waiting for her three brothers.
Feng Xuanrui and Suisui had been traveling for most of the day, and now they were both very sleepy.
Feng Xuanbin was still active, but he also felt sorry for Little Six and his sister.
So, when Qi Wangfei tentatively asked, “Shall we go to sleep now?”
The children all nodded obediently.
Feng Xuanbo, as the temporary eldest brother, was responsible for taking the younger brothers back.
Aunt Qiu, not at ease, brought people to escort the children back to the South Courtyard.
Feng Xuanrui didn’t want to leave and kept looking back at Qi Wangfei, “Sister, do you really not need your brother to coax you?”
Upon hearing this, Qi Wangfei gently pressed her lips together, feeling a bit reluctant but...
Not too much.
Mother said that as a girl, even if she needed to sleep, she should sleep with her mother.
Now she was still young, so it was okay.
But when she grew up, it would definitely be different.
They had to go through an adjustment period.
Mother also said that her brothers were still children and couldn’t take care of her properly.
So, it was better for Mother to take care of her.
Mother...
Qi Wangfei no longer had any memory of her mother.
Her impression of her mother came from other village children or her aunt.
Although her aunt often scolded her, she was very good to her cousins.
Qi Wangfei wanted her brothers’ company but also couldn’t help but yearn for having a mother.
She thought, she must be a greedy, bad child!
Qi Wangfei didn’t want to refuse her brother but had to.
In the end, she looked at Feng Xuanrui with a guilty glance and said softly, “Brother, good night.”
Hearing his sister say this, Feng Xuanrui’s worried heart finally settled.
He still looked back several times before following Aunt Qiu to the South Courtyard.
On the way, Feng Xuanbin happily said, “Hehe, my sister said good night to me. Oh, I’m such an idiot, I forgot to say good night to her. No, I have to go back and say it!”
Feng Xuanrui, already feeling uneasy, gave him a look, “Enough, she called you Seventh Brother, so when she says ‘good night’, it’s clearly meant for you.”
Feng Xuanbin’s mouth drooped, looking like he might cry.
Feng Xuanbo, watching from the side, sighed, “If I had known, I should have chased after you to Qingzhou. I could have met sister sooner. If that had been the case, who knows who sister would have called ‘brother’.”
