A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1707 - 371: Mysterious Figure, Long-legged Oppa (Part 21)
But later, when she found out that Shiba had the same explosive combat power as Mingyue, paired with that adorable little schoolgirl face, the contrast made her fall in love with her. Shiba loved being praised for her cuteness, calling her Sister Ah Yun in a sweet, sugary way that charmed Ah Yun completely.
"Ah... snake...." Just as Ah Yun was about to reach for a peach blossom, a green snake suddenly darted out from the branches, flicking its tongue with glimmering green eyes. Ah Yun was scared out of her wits.
With narrowed eyes, Shiba jumped down from the wall and leaped onto the tree, pinching the snake’s neck, swinging it around: "Hahaha, Sister Ah Yun, are you afraid of snakes? This little green snake is so cute." She said, gently stroking the snake’s head.
Ah Yun shivered, "Qiao Shiba, throw it away now."
Wei Xuan, however, cheerfully ran over, reaching out to cautiously touch the snake’s head, not frightened at all.
"Xuanxuan, do you like it?" Shiba asked with a smile.
Wei Xuan nodded.
Shiba pinched the snake’s head harder, forcing it open, and extracted its fangs, a brutal sight that made Ah Yun frown repeatedly in discomfort.
Shiba laughed and handed the now toothless snake to Wei Xuan: "Here, play with it."
"No, this is a snake...." Ah Yun worried Wei Xuan might get scared, but seeing how Wei Xuan held the snake tenderly, she was speechless.
"Don’t worry, it’s just an ordinary green snake, non-poisonous and very gentle. If you don’t provoke it, it won’t bother biting anyone. Now that I’ve removed its teeth, it can’t bite even if it wanted to."
Wei Xuan seemed to really like the little green snake, stroking its tongue softly, as gently as if she were caressing her own child.
"Miss Xuanxuan has such courage," Ah Yun sighed.
It’s not courage, but a child’s innocent world.
After picking peach blossoms, Yun Ya took them to the kitchen to make peach blossom cake, with Ah Yun assisting her, while Shiba played with Wei Xuan. Shiba, with her child-like nature, played well with Wei Xuan, leaving Yun Ya shaking her head repeatedly.
"Miss, where is Sister Mingyue now? I haven’t seen her in so many days. Will she come back?" The moment she asked, Ah Yun regretted it and hung her head in self-reproach. Mingyue was now a sensitive topic for Miss, and she shouldn’t have forgotten that.
Yun Ya paused with her fingers and replied calmly, "I don’t know."
Mingyue was elusive, who knew where she had gone?
This person deceived her and left without even saying goodbye. Best if she never saw her again.
But at the same time, deep inside, she held a sliver of hope. Mingyue had left with Miaomiao’s hope; if one day she returned, wouldn’t Miaomiao also return?
Mingyue, I hope you won’t disappoint me...
Yun Ya made osmanthus cake and distributed a piece to each room, with Wei Xuan enjoying it the most, giving her much face.
Yun Ya taught her how to hold a pen and recognize and write words. Wei Xuan was very smart, learning almost instantly, "This is Xuanxuan’s name, Wei, as in protect the nation, and Xuan, as in daylily, that’s Xuanxuan’s name, now write it yourself."
Wei Xuan looked at the two large characters on the white paper, drew her lips into a smile, and turned to Yun Ya: "Sister, what’s your name?"
Yun Ya held her hand and wrote the three words Ji Yunya on the white paper: "Look, this is sister’s name."
"Sister’s name looks nice written down."
The moon rose to the mid-sky, Yun Ya watched as the small figure stood before the desk, earnestly writing with a slight smile curling on her lips.
She was only half a head taller than the desk, her back straight, holding the brush with her little hand, her head lowered in complete focus, her frail body exuding an air of determination and resilience.
This child was smart and hardworking, with the right guidance, she would surely have a bright future.
When she got tired of writing, Wei Xuan shook her arm, noticing Yun Ya watching her, she pressed her lips together and then bent back to writing carefully and earnestly.
"Xuanxuan, are you tired? Take a break and have some tea."
Wei Xuan shook her head, "I’m not tired."
Yun Ya picked up a medical book and lowered her eyes, beginning to read.
As time ticked by, Wei Xuan finally became drowsy. Ah Yun came in to wash her hands and feet. Clad in her caterpillar onesie, Wei Xuan climbed into bed, and Yun Ya gently enveloped her in her arms, gently patting her back.
"Shall I tell you a story?"
Wei Xuan nodded obediently.
"Once upon a time, there was a very cute little girl, loved by everyone who saw her, but most adored by her grandmother. One day, her grandmother gave her a little red cap made of velvet, which fit perfectly on her head. From then on, the little girl never wanted to wear any other hat, so everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood...."
In a soft and tender voice, Yun Ya’s storytelling quickly lulled Wei Xuan into a peaceful sleep, nestled softly within Yun Ya’s embrace.
Yun Ya glanced down at her, unable to suppress a gentle smile, adjusted the quilt over her, lay beside her, and closed her eyes.
J City International Airport.
In the departure lounge, everyone’s gaze was inevitably drawn in one direction.
In a corner sat a figure completely wrapped in a black cloak, sitting straight-backed. Judging by the physique, they had a man’s tall and flowing stature but carried an additional hint of slenderness, sitting silently there. From under the cloak, lips thin and crimson against porcelain-like skin pressed into a line, emitting an oppressive and tense aura.
The jawline was smooth and graceful, full of mystery, making one want to explore yet hesitant to disturb it.
In short, this was a person shrouded in mystery, the more mysterious, the more attractive.
"I bet it’s a guy, look at those long legs, that body ratio, definitely a tall oppa."
"How do you figure it’s a girl? Have you seen those hands? No man has such pale skin and slender fingers."
In the shadows, two young girls were whispering.
"Isn’t it someone from a drama? What are they doing wearing a cloak at the airport in broad daylight, trying to be cool... But really so cool, it’s like someone stepped out of an anime."
Uncle Lau approached, boarding pass in hand: "Miss, let’s go."
Mingyue stood up, her graceful height attracted a cascade of admiring glances.
Nearby, a man was walking while looking down at his phone, about to collide with Mingyue, only to see her twist and spin, dodging the man who tumbled to the ground, the cloak’s hem floating down softly, not stirring a speck of dust. In the blink of an eye, she had moved ten steps away.
Blinking once, then again, were the eyes deceiving? Looking again, the person was gone, nowhere to be seen. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Arrangements abroad have been made; don’t worry, Miss, we will surely bring the master back successfully," Uncle Lau said as they walked.
Onboard the plane, finding their seats, at the moment of takeoff, Mingyue took a deep breath.
Uncle Lau glanced over at her, a hint of amusement in his eyes, handing her a cup of water.
She had never left Kunlun since she was a child, nor had she flown on a plane, so her unease was understandable.
Mingyue watched the scenery outside go from low to high, gradually calming down, closing her eyes to rest.
