The child's eyes were truly beautiful, just as clear and bright as Duoduo's, her lively eyes as if they could speak, only…
Hers were black, while her Duoduo’s were blue, extremely beautiful. Thinking of her daughter, Yao Qianya couldn't help but feel sad again. Since the last time, she hadn't returned. Those people hadn't found anyone either, as if… they had vanished into thin air.
“Ziyue, did you apologize to them?” Only this matter made her realize that this was not a dream, she had truly seen her Duoduo.
However, she had made a last-minute appointment with them and then broken it, which she felt quite bad about.
Norman Ziyue looked at her mother for a long time before she realized who she was talking about, and immediately her memories of S City were rekindled, especially that man…
She… in the past few months, she had found herself unable to stop thinking about that man, so she would go out and have fun whenever she could, to forget him.
It’s just… if her mother hadn’t mentioned it, she would have forgotten that she never even made an appointment with them!
She didn't have their contact information, and she was sick at the time, barely able to stand. How could she have thought of anything else? Later, she was in the hospital, and by the time she had almost recovered, they had returned.
Neither side had the time to meet again. To take care of her, her mother must have endured the urge to ask her, right?
She didn't know that her mother had already seen her daughter. At that time, her mind was full of that girl, so she had completely forgotten about others.
Seeing her guilty expression, and thinking of her illness, Yao Qianya knew that her daughter had forgotten. It was fine, it was better if she had forgotten, and it made her feel more at ease. It was just that not being able to find her daughter was always her unresolved issue.
“I’ll be gentle. If you feel any pain, just say so~”
Even though Yao Qianya’s mood was complicated, she was still very gentle with Jian You, not letting her emotions show at all.
All of this fell into Jian You’s eyes, and a strange feeling arose in her heart. Yes… it felt a bit warm.
When she came back to her senses, Yao Qianya had already applied the medicine, but she didn’t close the lid. Instead, she looked at Jian You and said gently, “Go to the room, I’ll apply some medicine to your body too.”
“…” No.
“Madam, let the servants handle the rest. You should rest a bit…”
Jian You finally spoke, “I can do it myself.”
Butler Lian looked at Jian You with satisfaction. She was quite sensible. It was already a great honor for the Madam to apply medicine herself, and luckily, she knew how to decline.
“Jian You, you should go for training.” Later, the Madam would take a nap. She could go for training and then come back to take care of the Madam.
Butler Lian thought his arrangement was very reasonable, but he didn't expect to attract the Madam’s gaze again. Did he say something wrong?
Yao Qianya withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Wen, “Go help… Jian You, right? It’s a really nice name. Xiao Wen, you apply medicine to her entire body, not a single spot missed!”
“…”
This time, Jian You was speechless. She didn’t understand why this woman was so insistent on applying medicine to her, and not a single spot missed?
It was already her limit to let her apply medicine. Letting anyone else do it was impossible!
“I’m going for training. We’ll talk when I get back.”
After saying that, without giving anyone a chance to speak, she immediately strode away, her posture elegant, a cool aura surrounding her.
She had just thought this child was shy, but it turned out she was waiting to go for training. Why push herself so hard, neglecting her own body?
“You just said she’s going for training. Is she here to protect me?”
Because Aman had told her before that he would train some people to protect her, and he would try his best to find a woman so she could provide close protection, which would be more convenient.
“Yes, Madam. Her name is Jian You. She has some skills and is the granddaughter of Elder Jian. Her background is relatively clean.” If she weren’t Elder Jian’s granddaughter, they would have had to observe her for a while longer.
Hearing him say that, Yao Qianya understood. But didn't Elder Jian have no family?
Seeing the doubt in her Madam’s eyes, Butler Lian explained again, “She was adopted, rumored to be found and picked up.”
Upon hearing this, Yao Qianya’s heart ached again. If she had parents by her side, she wouldn't have fallen to a point where no one cared for her, and she would be injured like this.
“Don’t assign her too much work. As long as she knows some self-defense, that’s enough. She doesn’t need to be very powerful.”
The Madam was truly kind. If everyone were like this, it would have descended into chaos long ago. However, he was just thinking to himself.
Still, it was possible to relax a bit and see what kind of person Jian You was. After all, she was placed by the Madam’s side, and no carelessness could be tolerated.
“Madam, you should take a nap.” At this time, Xiao Wen glanced at the old grandfather clock on the wall and reminded her.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Just as Yao Qianya was about to go up, she suddenly remembered someone sitting on the sofa. Why hadn’t she said anything all this time?
“Ziyue, what are you thinking about?”
Why was she staring blankly in the direction Jian You had left?
Norman Ziyue dazedly withdrew her gaze and looked at her mother, “Mom, Jian You and that woman seem alike.”
“Which woman?” Yao Qianya found it strange. Who could make Ziyue so lost in thought?
Seeing her mother looking at her seriously, Norman Ziyue felt a little embarrassed, “It’s the girl you wanted to see. Jian You’s eyes are exactly the same as hers. But it’s impossible, they don’t look alike at all.”
At first, her attention was completely captured by her wound, and she hadn't noticed anything else.
So it was about that girl. It could only be fate. Shaking her head, Yao Qianya didn't think about it anymore. However, there was still one thing she needed to keep an eye on regarding Ziyue.
“Ziyue, are you dating someone?”
The young lady has a boyfriend? Butler Lian looked at Norman Ziyue in surprise. How come he hadn't heard about this from the bodyguards? They had said that the young lady frequented places with a bad reputation.
Norman Ziyue’s smile froze instantly, and she immediately denied it, “No, Mom, why would you think that?”
But the words “dating someone” appeared in Norman Ziyue’s mind like a spell, present everywhere.
“You go out every day. Your grandmother is worried that you’ve been deceived. If you’re dating someone, you must tell your mother, and you must pay attention to your own safety, understand?”
Norman Ziyue didn’t speak anymore. Her face was pale, and her expression was somewhat dazed, because she suddenly seemed to understand why her recent unusual behavior was happening.
It was as if a key had entered a lock, and suddenly she became enlightened.
“Mom, I’m going upstairs to sleep…”
After speaking, Norman Ziyue ran upstairs with quick footsteps.
Yao Qianya behind her looked at her dazed expression with some concern, afraid that Ziyue had been bullied outside. She turned her head and looked at Butler Lian.
The latter nodded with a serious expression and immediately went to investigate. The young lady was still young; she should be watched closely!
