Chapter 1063: Chapter 1167: Still Just a Child

Yunyi and the others didn’t stay long, as they still needed to visit their mentor and deliver some vegetables from their garden.

The mentor’s house was out of the way, taking quite a bit of time.

During this time, Yunyi got all the items she wanted to bring ready.

There were homegrown vegetables, fruits, the medicinal liquor she brewed, and her homemade ginseng honey. The amounts weren’t large, but she made sure they reached the mentor and his grandson.

After all, the mentor’s old friends were notorious for being opportunistic and wouldn’t pass up the chance for something good.

As the car drove into the alley, they saw a large group of children gathered in front.

Yuan Zining saw who was in the car from afar: "Not playing anymore, my master aunt is back."

Saying that, he pushed away his playmates, waved to the car, and shouted: "Master Aunt, Uncle."

After shouting, he ran into his own yard: "Grandpa, Master Aunt and Uncle are back."

Instead of shouting ’arrived,’ he shouted ’back,’ his excitement was palpable.

After all, besides his grandpa, his master aunt was the best to him, never expecting anything in return.

His grandpa didn’t hide what his cousins did from him but explained everything afterward. Only then did he understand that the suffering he and his grandpa endured was thanks to his cousins.

Even after they returned to Beijing, they weren’t satisfied and tried to scheme against them.

If not for his grandpa’s early detection and his master aunt’s discovery, they almost fell victim again.

Yuan Yuxun had been on vacation since yesterday, and hearing his grandson’s voice, he quickly came out of the study.

Seeing the large bags in Huo Jingrui and Yunyi’s hands, he scolded: "I don’t lack anything, why go through all this trouble?"

Yunyi giggled and replied: "Mentor, don’t boast. You don’t have what I have in my hands. I prepared this especially for you; don’t doubt it."

Yuan Yuxun knew about her pregnancy and quickly took the items from her, not daring to let her carry them anymore.

After entering the living room, Yunyi asked: "Are those matters settled?"

Yuan Yuxun nodded: "Completely settled, and it severely impacted the Qiao Family."

Saying this, he looked at Huo Jingrui, not forgetting to give him credit: "This time, Jingrui helped a lot, otherwise the Qiao Family would have slipped away again."

Huo Jingrui met Yunyi’s gaze, his desire for praise evident.

Yunyi muttered softly: Immature.

Even with a low voice, Huo Jingrui heard it clearly. Instead of getting angry, he laughed.

Unable to take his laughter, Yunyi quickly changed the subject: "Where’s the new nanny, mentor?"

Yuan Zining answered quickly: "Aunt Qu’s cooking skills are great, much tastier than Aunt Jiang’s. Master Aunt, I’ve asked, she can make all the dishes you like."

Yuan Yuxun anticipated his grandson’s next words and quickly interrupted: "Your Master Aunt is busy tonight, put away your little thoughts."

Yuan Zining hung his head sadly.

Yunyi understood his intentions: "Zining, Aunt will come over on the third day, stay till the fifth. Then we can have Aunt Qu make a variety of dishes for us, okay?"

Yuan Zining looked up: "Really?"

"When has your Master Aunt ever lied to you?"

Yuan Zining couldn’t be happier: "Okay."

Then he transformed into a chatterbox, recounting everything that happened during their time apart in detail to Yunyi.

Including what his cousins did: "Master Aunt, how can people be so greedy? Grandpa helped them so much for my sake, but they still think it’s not enough and conspired with outsiders against us."

Yunyi tenderly hugged him: "Because they were too greedy, they paid the price for their foolish actions. You have your grandpa and your Master Aunt."

Yuan Zining murmured in her arms: "I know."

Huo Jingrui coughed lightly, intentionally creating a noise: "Your aunt asked me to make a plane model out of bullet casings, do you want to see it?"

Upon hearing about the model, Yuan Zining’s previous unhappiness vanished: "Where is it?"

Previously, he saw other kids in the military compound playing with toys made from bullet casings. He was very envious and had mentioned it to his aunt. He didn’t expect his wish to come true today.

Seeing him like this, Yunyi couldn’t help but smile: He’s just a child after all.
