Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Yuan Shouhu
Half a day’s time, it surely can’t be done.
Yet Ruan Wan took out these two small gifts right on time, indicating that she had prepared them early on.
Yuan Bao was unaware of the previous interaction between his uncle and Ruan Wan, but the fact that Ruan Wan could prepare such gifts early shows she’s affectionate.
Nowadays, the lad is interested too.
This marriage, unless there are unforeseen events, is likely... phew, phew, phew, can’t jinx it!
Wait, what’s jinxing it?
Yuan Bao lightly shook her head, trying not to overthink.
The old Doctor Li already said that thinking too much is bad for her health, so she shouldn’t overthink. Otherwise, the more knowledgeable, the more likely to stress, she doesn’t want that bitter medicine anymore.
Even though eating medicine means she can have candied fruit.
But well, even without taking medicine, she can still eat candied fruit.
She doesn’t want to create trouble for herself.
Yuan Bao returned to the Yuan Family without causing much of a stir.
Initially, everyone gathered and chatted for a while, then went back to their rooms. During this time, neither Yuan Zhaodi nor Mrs. Xiao Li appeared.
Yuan Bao didn’t care to go see them either.
Though she was born near them, she clearly didn’t have the fate to connect with them.
Once, outside Sanchuan City in Shiqu Village, she was forgotten at home, perhaps it was a sign!
Dinner was made by Mrs. Zeng herself, hand-pulled noodles with minced chicken, it smelled delicious.
As the three started to eat dinner, a small unexpected guest pushed the door open and walked in.
Yuan Bao’s twin brother, Yuan Shouhu!
"Sister!"
"Play!"
Yuan Shouhu entered, saw Yuan Bao on the bed, and waved excitedly.
Yuan Bao glanced at this twin brother and said, "Come up!"
"Grandpa!"
Upon hearing Yuan Bao, Yuan Shouhu immediately shouted at Old Yuan, "Grandpa, come get me, hug!"
Old Yuan chuckled, got off the bed, and lifted Yuan Shouhu onto it.
"Sister, where did you go?"
"I missed you!"
Yuan Shouhu pitifully leaned towards Yuan Bao.
Last night without seeing Yuan Bao, Yuan Shouhu cried and fussed for quite a while. He didn’t know what happened, but he was unhappy.
Yuan Bao didn’t blame this twin brother; after all, he’s just a little child who knows nothing.
Though Yuan Bao knew more than other children, she understood that most kids know nothing, and whatever adults say goes.
"I went to play!"
"Once I finish eating, we’ll play together!"
"You play by yourself for now!"
"Oh right, do you want to eat?"
"No, sister eats!"
"When sister is full, I am full!"
Yuan Shouhu waved his hand, sitting alone beside, watching eagerly.
Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng watched this scene and felt very distressed.
The kids are good kids, but unfortunately, they ended up with such parents.
Thinking of the fourth son and fourth daughter-in-law, both felt helpless.
Back when Yuan Zhaodi worked in the pier managing affairs, she seemed competent. Who would have thought that after the family separated, she’d become a different person?
And Mrs. Xiao Li, she wasn’t like this previously.
"Let’s eat!"
Old Yuan noticed Mrs. Zeng’s discomfort and gently patted her hand.
At this point, they also bear some responsibility.
If they hadn’t overly spoiled Jiaojiao, would things have turned out differently?
It’s a pity, once things happen in this world, they’re done, and no one can start over.
