Lu Yichen listened to the little lady’s nagging and found it amusing: "Isn’t it good that the kids have their own ideas? It ans less for you to worry about."
Luo Qiao muttered quietly: "Who am I doing this for?"
Lu Yichen, with his excellent hearing, caught Luo Qiao’s words and laughed: "Alright, as long as they don’t mind the effort, just let them be. It’s better for them to learn more, rather than those kids who are unwilling and have to be forced by adults to learn."
He bent down to kiss the top of Luo Qiao’s head: "I know you want them to spend a carefree and joyous sumr vacation, then welco the new school year. But you heard what Yueyue said, it’s their hobby. Treat it as play. Since they’ve decided, we just need to support them."
Luo Qiao smiled: "Do you think I’m being too sentintal?"
Lu Yichen pinched his wife’s tender and smooth face: "Not sentintal; you just want what’s best for them."
Luo Qiao nodded: "Alright then."
Seeing her happy, Lu Yichen kissed the top of her head again: "That’s more like it."
Unexpectedly, Luo Qiao pushed him: "It’s so hot, and I haven’t bathed yet. Aren’t you bothered by the sll?"
Lu Yichen laughed: "I don’t mind, even if there’s a sll, it’s a pleasant one."
Luo Qiao pushed him away and, giggling, ran to grab her pajamas to take a bath.
Lu Yichen went next door to check if the kids kicked off their blankets. When he returned to the room, the sound of running water from the washroom had stopped, and he picked up the hair dryer with a smile.
As Luo Qiao ca out, she saw the hairdryer in Lu Yichen’s hands. Wiping her hair, she asked coquettishly, "Brother Chen, will you always be this good to ?"
Lu Yichen pulled her over, had her sit down, and tenderly wiped her hair, saying affectionately: "Yes, for a lifeti, you will always be the treasure in the palm of my hand."
These were words she had said before, and she had not expected him to rember them. Delighted, she laughed, lifted her head, and wrapped her arms around Lu Yichen’s head: "Good, I’ll be the treasure in the palm of your hand for a lifeti."
It took a long ti to dry her hair, so long that there was no need to wipe or blow-dry it, and her hair just naturally air-dried.
The hairdryer dropped to the floor with a noise, and only then did the two of them reluctantly part, overwheld by the charming sight before him; his heart fluttered, and he directly picked her up.
Luo Qiao was caught off guard and almost let out a gasp of surprise: "Put down quickly."
Lu Yichen teased her: "I’ll put you down in a mont."
Luo Qiao noticed they were heading in the wrong direction: "Where are you taking if you’re carrying ?"
Lu Yichen’s mouth curled with a smile: "To join for a shower."
Luo Qiao’s face turned scarlet in an instant: "I’ve already showered, you go by yourself, put down."
Lu Yichen laughed: "I haven’t showered yet."
Before Luo Qiao could say anything more, her words were already drowned out by the sound of water...

Today was the day Ning Xueling was discharged from the hospital. Over the past half a month, the younger sister-in-law and brother-in-law from the He family had indeed visited her in the hospital, but their words were truly enough to make Ning Xueling crumble.
Starting from the second day after the surgery, He Qiuping, due to work-related matters, had to hire a caregiver to look after his wife. Their two children were definitely not reliable since she’s not their biological mother.
The two brothers from the Ning family did co over every day, but as two grown n, they couldn’t help with much and could only worry.
The sisters-in-law did visit twice, once on the day of the surgery to wait outside the operating room, and another ti to bring over stewed chicken soup. Yet Ning Xueling, this younger sister-in-law, not only showed no appreciation but also accused them of coming to gloat over her misfortune.
Zhang Yuehua, the elder sister-in-law, was quite angered by her, so the two sisters-in-law stopped going to the hospital. No matter what Ning Hongda and Ning Hongbo said, the sisters-in-law just refused to visit her again.
As for the nephews and nieces, they also ca to visit after the surgery one after another, but ever since they learned that their little aunt had made things difficult for their mother again, they all disappeared collectively.
Every ti Luo Qiao passed by the inpatient departnt, she would hear gossip about Ning Xueling. It was like a ga of cards dealt well at the start that ended up played poorly by her; truly, one wouldn’t suffer if they didn’t seek trouble.
She couldn’t help shaking her head, thinking: "Truly bringing trouble upon oneself; there’s no living with such self-inflicted misery."
