Chapter 83
This earth-shattering cry caught everyone in the Jiang Family off guard; why was she crying all of a sudden?
Jiang Ye and Jiang Chao exchanged a glance, then quickly took out the gifts they had prepared over the past few days—a Barbie doll and a cute teddy bear—and shoved them into Little Tongtong's arms. "Little Tongtong, don't cry. Look at these toys, aren't you happy?"
As soon as they finished speaking, Little Tongtong cried even harder, with large tears rolling down her face as if they were free.
The Jiang Family was in a panic. They were doomed! This was only their first day taking care of someone else's child, and they'd already made the child cry! Was this acceptable?!
Mother Jiang then pulled out her trump card, waving the carefully prepared princess dress in front of Little Tongtong, "Little Tongtong, look at this beautiful princess dress, do you like it?"
Little Tongtong nodded while wiping away her tears, "I like it."
"If you like it, Auntie will buy it for you every day. Please stop crying, okay? Did someone scare you?" Mother Jiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
She glared at Jiang Ye and Jiang Chao with resentment. It must have been those two char siu who scared Little Tongtong just now; look how much the child was crying.
Just as she was about to kick the two of them out, she heard Little Tongtong say, "I'm so happy! No one has ever been so nice to me before."
Little Tongtong said, wiping away tears, "Before, I didn't even have enough to eat, and my parents made me do a lot of chores."
The Little Tongtong's innocent voice made the Jiang Family ' eyes even more heartbroken. This family of beasts is not human; how could they treat a child who is only a few years old like this?
Little Tongtong really suffered before. From now on, as long as they live with them, they will treat Little Tongtong well and make Little Tongtong feel the warmth of home.
The Jiang Family all brought out gifts they had prepared for Little Tongtong. Among them, Jiang Lanxin was particularly generous, giving Little Tongtong a house as a gift. This house will belong to Little Tongtong exclusively after Tongtong turns eighteen.
The whole family doted on Little Tongtong, making Little Tongtong laugh heartily. It wasn't until eleven or twelve o'clock that Little Tongtong closed her eyes with a reluctant expression.
Even in her sleep, she kept murmuring, "I hope this isn't Tongtong's dream."
The Jiang Family looked at the child with complicated expressions; the child had truly suffered.
Father Jiang and Second Uncle Jiang said in deep voices, "Now that this child has come to our Jiang Family, it means we are destined to be together. We must treat him well and not do anything outrageous again."
The rest of the Jiang Family nodded in agreement. "Dad, don't worry, we'll definitely take good care of Tongtong. That child is truly pitiful."
They looked at the Little Tongtong in Mother Jiang's arms. When she slept, she always curled up, like a baby hiding in its mother's arms, showing signs of fear and insecurity.
This child has really suffered; they will definitely treat him well from now on.
Mother Jiang carefully carried the child upstairs, and the Jiang Family, who had been excited all night, could finally tidy up and go to rest.
[Huh?! Can I finally go to sleep?!] Song Shiwei, who had been dozing off on the sofa, suddenly opened her big eyes.
Looking dazed, I stood up and was about to go upstairs when, unexpectedly, something grabbed my hand the next second.
She turned around and saw Jiang Xun's stunningly handsome face, and his well-defined hands grabbing her wrist. "Madam, have you forgotten about me?"
Song Shiwei:?
A note from the author:
Um, I really didn't write anything in that previous chapter!!
Chapter 83
◎ Tongtong's parents are Tongtong's parents, but they are not actually Tongtong's parents?!◎
Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment before she remembered the promise she had made that morning; she still owed Jiang Xun a debt.
She glanced silently at Jiang Xun's hand, then sighed, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Xun nodded. "I'm certain, absolutely certain."
"Alright, then you'll have to follow my orders." Song Shiwei, then nodded silently and said, "No disobedience, no discussion."
"Okay." Jiang Xun neither agreed nor disagreed with this small condition, raising an eyebrow and readily accepting it.
Following orders doesn't seem like a difficult task. At most, Song Shiwei would just come up with the idea of pressing a pillow down on the bed, and then he could just kick it off with a few kicks. Agreeing to it doesn't seem like a big deal.
He still seemed to have a pleasant smile on his face, like a child who had received an incredible gift, and he happily pulled Song Shiwei upstairs.
He sighed inwardly, "We've been married for almost a few months now, and we're only just getting to the door of the master bedroom."
He sighed deeply, just about to say that he could sleep with his sweet, soft wife tonight, when Song Shiwei tossed him a pillow. "Here! On the sofa over there."
Jiang Xun:?
Didn't we agree on this this morning?
He glanced at Song Shiwei with a hint of resentment in his eyes. "Weiwei, you clearly promised me this morning."
Song Shiwei took a deep breath and then said quietly, "Well, I'm afraid I'll crowd you if I sleep, so please sleep on the sofa instead."
"But the bed is huge! I only need a tiny bit!" Jiang Xun tried to continue arguing.
"You just said yourself that you would agree to any conditions."
Jiang Xun froze on the spot. So this was the condition Song Shiwei had just mentioned?
[If I weren't afraid of making you angry, I'd want to go sleep on the sofa.]
[If a blunder like yesterday were to happen again, I'd be in the Yellow River trouble no matter what I did.]
[That's settled then. You sleep on the sofa, I'll sleep in my bed. We won't bother each other, it's fine.]
Song Shiwei thought to herself, but Jiang Xun was speechless. He had never expected that even with his obvious seduction, Song Shiwei would be so unmoved.
