Chapter 837: Chapter 22 Missing You (Additional update for alliance leader’s third bomb!)_2 Chapter 837: Chapter 22 Missing You (Additional update for alliance leader’s third bomb!)_2 For some inexplicable reason, she felt a great sense of achievement:
“Does it really look good?”
Yan Qiaoqiao nodded, twisting her body back to look at Zhao Yingjun:
“Thank you, Sister.”
“…”
Zhao Yingjun fell silent.
But now that she thought about it…
Indeed.
She might as well stick to ‘Sister.’
Zhao Yingjun was nowhere near ready to be a mother; if Yan Qiaoqiao suddenly started calling her ‘Mom,’ she would feel nothing but bone-chilling horror and terror.
Moreover, the age gap between her and Yan Qiaoqiao was really too small.
If they went out and she called her ‘Mom,’ at least 120 out of 100 people would assume she was the young stepmom that Yan Qiaoqiao’s old dad found.
Although one with a clear conscience fears no criticism.
Yet rumors and gossip are bothersome once you fall into a trap of having to prove your innocence, so it is better to save oneself the trouble.

“From now on, just dress in this style.”
Zhao Yingjun pointed to the large and small packages on the bed:
“All these clothes are for you.
Take your time learning how to dress up; don’t ever touch those little horn braids and fake flowers on your head again.
Even four or five-year-old kids don’t dress like that nowadays.”
“Otherwise, let someone…
let someone see you, and they might think I’m abusing the child.
You have to be a bit more refined in the future.”
Zhao Yingjun was well aware.
That although Lin Xian probably carried many secrets and untold identities and goals, the recognition between Yan Qiaoqiao and Lin Xian was bound to happen sooner or later.
And when the truth came out…
And if Yan Qiaoqiao still appeared uncouth and uneducated, how would she explain?
How would she justify it?
So.
She must raise this child a little better.
Afterward.
She took Yan Qiaoqiao out.
Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei were pleasantly surprised to see Yan Qiaoqiao’s new style:
“Oh my, our Qiaoqiao has turned into a big girl!”
“Hehe, it turns out that young girls still need to dress up, ‘clothes make the man.’ It’s absolutely true, she looks like a big kid at once.”
It seemed Yan Qiaoqiao also wanted to show off her new clothes to her playmates, as she dashed towards the door wanting to play outside.
“You two have been looking after her for a while and must be tired.”
Following behind Yan Qiaoqiao, Zhao Yingjun turned back to look at her parents:
“I’ll take her out to play today.”
With that.
The two, looking like sisters, went out together in search of playmates in the neighborhood.
Yan Mei watched the two leave:
“Old Zhao, don’t you feel like Yingjun has become much closer to Qiaoqiao?”
“Before, every time she visited, she was very impatient, always nitpicking Qiaoqiao’s faults.
But today, she’s been good, not saying anything; buying clothes for Qiaoqiao, doing her hair…”
Sitting on the sofa, Zhao Ruihai also smiled with contentment:
“Blood ties are indeed mysterious, that innate closeness is an irrepressible instinct; it’s just that the cultivation of emotions takes time.
After all, we’ve raised children from a young age, so entering the role of grandparents came more naturally…

but young people are bound to take it slower.”
“However, I am very happy to see that the relationship between Yingjun and Qiaoqiao is slowly improving.
In this way, when I leave East Sea, I can leave Qiaoqiao in Yingjun’s care with peace of mind.
I can see…
she actually likes Qiaoqiao very much; it’s just that our previous way of communicating wasn’t quite appropriate.”
Yan Mei sat down on the sofa as well.
Cleaning up the fruit peels left by Yan Qiaoqiao:
“Have you thought about how to leave Qiaoqiao behind?”
“If we just leave without a word and dump Qiaoqiao on Yingjun, that’s certainly not appropriate.
Yingjun’s difficulty in accepting this outrageous and unscientific situation is completely understandable, and we also need a more proper way of handling things.”
Zhao Ruihai nodded:
“Don’t worry, I have plans in mind and know how to handle things more smoothly.”
“Let’s play with Qiaoqiao for another week.
After a week, we’ll find a reason to say there is an emergency back in Imperial Capital and that we’ll return soon, asking Yingjun to take care of Qiaoqiao for a few days.”
“And then…
we’ll see if we come back or not, and decide at that time.
It’s just right now as the May Day holiday ‘Golden Week’ is also coming to an end, and we both still have a long holiday, so why not take Qiaoqiao out for a few days on a trip?”
“I’ve always dreamed that one day, I could take my grandchildren out to see the sights, never imagined…
fate is unpredictable, that some unreachable dreams would materialize just like that.”
Yan Mei tidied up the trash on the coffee table into the garbage bin.
Also shaking her head.
She said reflectively:
“Qiaoqiao will definitely be fine, but the matter of Yingjun having such a big daughter…
I still hope she can give us an acceptable answer sooner rather than later.”
“Ah, what you’re saying is true.
Now that the child is out and grown up, what does the answer matter, or whether it’s acceptable?
As far as I am concerned, everyone is healthy and harmonious now; there’s really nothing I can’t accept.”
“All right then, let’s spend a final period playing with Qiaoqiao, travel a bit…
and then head back home.”
…
Another day passed, and the May Day holiday ‘Golden Week’ ended, with employees across various positions starting to resume work and getting busy once again.
Zhao Yingjun hadn’t visited her parents’ villa since that day she visited Yan Qiaoqiao.
They said.
They wanted to take Qiaoqiao on a trip to see the world.
Let them go then; Zhao Yingjun didn’t mind, but rather continued to focus her energy and thoughts on her work at MX Company.
Work was still busy.
But in her moments of leisure, she couldn’t help but think of Lin Xian and Yan Qiaoqiao.
