‘Unfortunately, before what happened in the dream happens, I can’t tell you what happened in the dream.” Ji Zhao pinched the space between her eyebrows in frustration, and a sense of frustration appeared in her heart for no reason.
‘IIS that dream related to me?” Shen Yao asked softly.
Ji Zhao nodded slightly. “You’re not the only one. There’s also—n
BOOM!
Before Ji Zhao could finish speaking, a thunderclap suddenly sounded from the ground!
Ji Zhao subconsciously covered her mouth and looked nervously at Shen Yao beside her.
‘Don’t be afraid.” Shen Yao hugged the person in his arms even tighter and his tone became even gentler.
‘Don’t think about anything else. After you drink the calming soup, you can have a good sleep,” Shen Yao said gently as he tapped the tip of her nose dotingly.
‘Okay.”
Soon, Zhao Lanhua brought the calming soup to Ji Zhao.
‘Thank you, Mother.”
‘Girl, are you always so polite to your mother?” Zhao Lanhua pretended to look at her angrily. “We’re family. You’re always thanking me. You’re treating me like an outsider.
“I understand, Mother.”
‘Be good and have a good sleep.” Zhao Lanhua held her hand and reminded her with a gentle gaze, “Mother will make dough drop soup for you this afternoon, okay?” ‘Okay!”
‘Good girl!’
Looking at such an obedient Ji Zhao, Zhao Lanhua felt that her heart was about to melt.
She then looked at Shen Yao’s haggard face and said with heartache, “Third
Brother, how about you sleep with Ah Tao?”
‘Mother, I’m not sleepy.” Shen Yao shook his head subconsciously.
‘You’ve been guarding Ah Tao all night. How can you not be tired? Look at your red eyes!” Zhao Lanhua said earnestly, ‘Third Brother, if you can’t even take care of yourself, how can you take care of Ah Tao? The two of you, listen to
Mother and lie on the bed together to rest well!”
Unable to dissuade Zhao Lanhua, Shen Yao could only lie down beside Ji Zhao.
‘That’s good!’
After Zhao Lanhua walked out of the house, she did not forget to close the door considerately.
‘You… stayed by my side for the entire night?” Ji Zhao turned sideways to look at the man lying beside her. Her gentle almond-shaped eyes were filled with gratitude.
‘Mm,” Shen Yao replied softly and pulled her into his arms firmly. ‘You were unconscious. No matter how much I shouted, you didn’t wake up. It was late at night and you still had a high fever. I was very worried.’
If not for last night, Shen Yao would not have thought that his feelings for Ah Tao would be so deep. In fact, he liked Ah Tao more than he had imagined. Ji Zhao’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly leaned over and pecked his cheek.
‘Shen Yao, thank you.”
‘Go to sleep.” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows gently. Her smile was reflected deeply in his eyes.
The warm sunlight shone through the diamond-shaped wooden window and landed on the two figures sleeping in each other’s arms. The atmosphere in the room was warm and heartwarming.
Near noon, Ji Zhao woke up.
However, the soft cushion beside her was already slightly cold.
‘Shen Yao?” Ji Zhao rubbed her eyes and looked around, but she did not see Shen Yao.
At that moment, in the Shen family’s kitchen.
Zhao Lanhua looked at her youngest son and could not help but sigh. ‘Mother’s youngest son has grown up and knows how to dote on his wife.”
‘Mother, is this much water enough? Do you want more?” Shen Yao, who was kneading dough, asked softly.
He wanted to learn how to make dough drop soup. This way, when Ah Tao wanted to eat it, he could make it too.
‘That’s enough, that’s enough,” Zhao Lanhua said with a smile. ‘My youngest son is so smart. He learns quick!”
She only said it once, and Third Brother could knead the dough himself and make a suitable dough.
‘Tomorrow morning, I want to go to the Tian Family Village again.” Zhao Lanhua thought for a moment and still said her plan. “You know my personality. Although I’m a little muddle-headed sometimes, I’m not stupid. That Tian Xiu’e has already bullied your grandfath&..
“1f Grandfather can’t stand up on his own, even if Mother returns to the Tian Family Village, there won’t be anything to make up for, right?” Shen Yao frowned slightly and asked softly.
“I know.” Zhao Lanhua lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes. ‘Your maternal grandfather is a very prideful person. He feels that once news of Tian Xiu’e being unfaithful spreads, he will lose face. It’s just that Tian Xiu’e is too vicious.”
“1f it weren’t for Ah Tao’s good luck, I’m afraid Mother would have already fallen into Tian Xiu’e’s trap. How can Mother swallow this anger?” Zhao Lanhua narrowed her eyes, her gaze dark. “Moreover, from the looks of it now, Dazhuang and Xiaotou are very likely not my younger brothers. How can Mother continue to be merciful?”
‘Mother.” Shen Yao stopped what he was doing and looked at her curiously.
‘Have you thought of what to do?”
‘Yes.” Zhao Lanhua nodded. ‘My youngest, don’t worry. I know what to do!”
‘No matter what you want to do or plan to do, you have to remember one thing.” Shen Yao looked into her eyes and reminded her seriously, “That is, no matter what, you have to protect yourself first.’
‘Don’t worry, I know!”
After resting for the entire morning, Ji Zhao felt that she had become more energetic.
Just as she was about to leave, she bumped into Shen Yao, who was about to enter the room.
“Why are you up?” Shen Yao asked nervously. “Are you still feeling unwell?” Ji Zhao shook her head gently, her face brimming with an obedient smile. “What’s this?” Ji Zhao asked curiously when her gaze landed on his hand.
‘Dough drop soup, do you want to try it?”
‘Sure!’
Ji Zhao gladly agreed!
When she first came to the world in this book, she had to face the difficult situation caused by the original owner. At that time, Ji Zhao was very helpless and sad.
Until Zhao Lanhua cooked a bowl of dough drop soup for her.
That was the most delicious dough drop soup she had ever eaten!
This was because the bowl of dough drop soup contained a rare kindness.
‘How does it taste?”
After tasting it, Ji Zhao couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows and praise, “It’s so delicious. Mother is really amazing, right? The dough drop soup she made is extremely delicious!”
‘Mother didn’t make it.” Shen Yao couldn’t help but smile when he saw that she was eating happily. He felt much happier.
‘Mother didn’t make it?” Ji Zhao blinked curiously. “Is it Eldest Sister-in—law or Second Sister-in-law?”
‘Neither.
“This… this couldn’t have been made by you, right?” Seeing the doting smile on his face, Ji Zhao was completely stunned. “When did you learn to make dough drop soup?
‘An hour ago.” Shen Yao smiled faintly. “Mother taught me once, and I learned it. I was originally worried that you would find the taste bad, but now it seems that you like it.’
Ji Zhao lowered her head and looked at the empty bowl. She could not help but laugh..
