Chapter 428: Chapter 417 Qiao Jing is a Little Fairy Chapter 428: Chapter 417 Qiao Jing is a Little Fairy Pingping hesitated for a while, cautiously taking another clean bowl and preparing to clip the at into it.
Upon seeing this, Zhan Qipei furrowed his brows, and his face imdiately darkened.
He pursed his thin lips and awkwardly spat out two words.
“Eat at.”
Pingping, who was just about to pick up the at, paused, blinking her big eyes as she looked at Zhan Qipei and finally uttered a sentence.
“Brother Zhan, I like eating vegetables, I don’t like at.”
Hearing Pingping say this, Qiao Jing put down the chopsticks in her hand and turned to look at Pingping sitting next to her.
When she saw Pingping’s skinny body and the face devoid of any fat, her heart suddenly ached.
When she had first t Pingping and Anan, the first thing she noticed was their frail bodies.
The clothes they wore were almost ragged, and the material was particularly thin, both Pingping and Anan’s faces were so cold they turned red.
Thinking of this, she knitted her brows and reminded them gently,
“Pingping, both you and Anan need to eat at to nourish your bodies, you know?”
Pingping knew that Qiao Jing was feeling sorry for him; his throat tightened, his face lit up with a smile, and he placed the at back into his own bowl.
“Okay, Sister Qiao.”
After replying, he glanced at the rich dishes on the table; despite the tempting aroma of the at in his bowl, he still did not imdiately start eating. After a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth:
“But…Sister Qiao, at costs a lot of money, you don’t need to bring us to eat such expensive things in the future.”
Anan also nodded, and she too didn’t start eating right away.
“Yes, Sister Qiao, at is expensive, my brother and I can eat other dishes.”
Just as Qiao Jing was about to speak, Zhan Qipei’s displeased voice rang out first.
“I don’t want others to say that I mistreat children.”
The two little ones, seeing Zhan Qipei’s grim expression, were sowhat scared.
In the end, under Zhan Qipei’s “coercion”, Pingping and Anan finally picked up their chopsticks and ate a piece of at.
The two little ones exclaid in unison, “Thank you, Brother Zhan!”
Zhan Qipei slightly relaxed his mountain-like, misty brows, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Seeing the two little ones blissfully eating the at, a look of relief appeared on Qiao Jing’s face.
But she still noticed a trace of worry on Pingping’s face.
Seeing this, Qiao Jing couldn’t help but internally exclaim again.
This child was really too sensible.
After finishing their al, the group went to Wanxiang City.
As soon as Qiao Jing and the two little ones got out of the car, she noticed Pingping and Anan suddenly stood still, staring blankly at the entrance of Wanxiang City.
Their large eyes reflected the colorful neon lights and the towering Wanxiang City.
This area was the most luxurious shopping district in the imperial capital, Wanxiang City.
The vicinity of Wanxiang City was bustling with noise, and the people’s attire was very ticulous, closely following the latest fashion trends.
Pingping and Anan were stunned for a mont before coming to their senses and clinging tightly to Qiao Jing.
They bowed their heads, daring not to look at the people around them.
During this ti, Anan looked up again at Wanxiang City and said with a tone of envy and amazent,
“Sister Qiao, this place is so beautiful, there are so many people, we didn’t know about such places before…”
Qiao Jing looked at the two little ones clinging to her side, furrowed her brows again, and her heart suddenly panged.
“It’s normal that you didn’t know about this place when you were on the South Bridge side before.”
She knew why Pingping and Anan wanted to stay close to her, because they had been wandering since they were young and had gotten used to that nomadic life.
Seeing them on such a bustling street, despite wearing new clothes, their hearts couldn’t help but feel inferior.
She didn’t want the two little ones to feel so inferior, although she didn’t know why Pingping and Anan’s parents had abandoned such well-behaved children.
But she would do her best to let them know that they were no different from other children and that they needn’t feel inferior.
Anan nodded her little head and shyly blinked her large eyes as she watched the crowds co and go.
Compared to Anan, Pingping quietly watched the flow of people without saying a word.
Qiao Jing could feel Pingping’s nervousness, as the little boy was tightly clutching the hem of her clothes at that mont.
Zhan Qipei’s gaze fell on Pingping’s hands and seeing the two little ones so tense, he furrowed his long brows.
He walked over to Qiao Jing’s side, reached out his hand awkwardly, and caught Pingping’s hand, standing with him to the side.
Pingping hadn’t reacted before he was already led aside by Zhan Qipei.
He glanced at his own hand, then looked up at Zhan Qipei’s profile, and fear once again appeared in his big eyes.
But after cotton candy and dinner, he and Anan were not so afraid of Brother Zhan anymore.
Because Brother Zhan had treated them to cotton candy and had even served them at…
Yet… Brother Zhan’s expressionless face was still sowhat intimidating…
Pingping looked anxiously at Qiao Jing, bit his lip, and still wanted to return to her side.
Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Qipei, approved of the man’s approach, and when she looked down at Pingping, she noticed he was still a bit scared.
“Pingping, let Brother Zhan take care of you, he’s not an,” she said.
Pingping nodded and maintained a certain distance from Zhan Qipei.
Qiao Jing took Anan’s hand and walked toward the entrance.
“Let’s go in,” she said.
Pingping tilted his little head and looked at the entrance of Wanxiang City with curiosity.
“Sister Qiao, are you going shopping?”
Qiao Jing responded with a hum.
She had brought Pingping and Anan to Wanxiang City to buy them several more sets of clothes before they went to the orphanage.
As Qiao Jing thought this, Anan timidly raised a hand.
“Sister Qiao, can I help you choose clothes? Don’t worry, Sister Qiao, I’ll pick really pretty ones for you! The kind that suits a fairy like Angel Sister Qiao!”
Qiao Jing was amused by Anan, and she playfully flicked Anan’s little nose.
“Okay, you pick. I’m no fairy. Just pick whatever you like.”
Anan pouted her little mouth and stared at Qiao Jing with grape-sized eyes, “I don’t care, Sister Qiao, you are a fairy, and you are also—an angel! If Sister Qiao weren’t an angel, why would you bring us ho?
In the past, there were many other older boys and girls who would sotis give us food, but they never ca close to us or took us ho. Of course, we don’t bla them.
We aren’t their relatives, and they have no duty to take us back. Just giving us a little money and food is because they are very, very kind.”
Her big eyes sparkling, swinging Qiao Jing’s hand, wearing an innocent face, she continued,
“Sister Qiao, you are even better because you didn’t despise us for being dirty and took us ho. So, in my and my brother’s hearts, you are our angel, Sister Qiao!!”
Qiao Jing looked at Anan’s bright smile and, thinking about the little ones’ previous experiences, her heart couldn’t help but ache.
“Pingping, Anan, you aren’t dirty; everyone is clean after a bath,” she said.
Just as Qiao Jing finished speaking, she heard a man’s voice near her ear.
“Anan, she is an angel.”
In his heart, not only was Qiao Jing his wife, she was also an angelic presence.
If Qiao Jing had not appeared in his life, his world would have been like a black-and-white painting.
