Chapter 986 - 990: The Young Master’s Arrangement
"This is the Young Master’s arrangement. Does Miss Xia have any objections?" Ye Feng looked at Xia Qingqian with a bit of difficulty before saying, "Miss Xia, I still have some things to handle. If you have any questions, you can consult the Young Master."The corners of Ye Feng’s mouth curved into a faint smile, almost imperceptible, yet Xia Qingqian caught that trace of expression, causing her to involuntarily shiver.
"..." She chose silence, contemplating something else, her head bowed. Seeing her lack of reaction, Ye Feng tactfully withdrew.
"Oh, oh... that’s just wonderful, Miss Xia! I was wondering when I could see you again; it’s truly fantastic that you and the Young Master will be staying for another week!" A joyful female voice sliced through the silence. Maria emerged from the kitchen, her excitement palpable upon hearing Ye Feng’s world-shattering good news.
Maria couldn’t resist; she clasped Xia Qingqian in a hug, not minding her own kitchen odors clinging to her, she held Xia Qingqian tightly.
"If the little one knows you’re staying for another week, they’ll definitely be so happy! I’ll call right away to share the good news." Maria is a relative of the wealthy lady next door, and seeing Uncle Quan living alone in such a large villa, with no children around, she felt sorry for him.
She volunteered, asking Uncle Quan to take her in so she could do chores and work as a maid here. Uncle Quan agreed to Maria’s condition after getting approval from the Young Master.
And the little darling from the wealthy family often followed Maria here, and over time, Uncle Quan came to see them as family. Having people bustling around him felt truly marvelous.
"Maria, after school tonight, bring the little one over; I’ve prepared a gift for them." Initially, she thought she would let Maria take it with her tonight, to prevent the little one from crying if they didn’t find her there tomorrow.
"The little one will be over the moon!" Maria exclaimed, gripping Xia Qianqian’s hand excitedly, "I’ll go prepare lunch now, and after lunch, I’ll bring the little one over. They’ve missed you terribly!"
"Doesn’t the little one need to attend class?" Xia Qianqian asked concernedly.
"The little one threw a tantrum, getting themselves soaked overnight, so they’re sick now," Maria replied truthfully.
"What? What on earth happened? Was the little one troubled with studies or did they argue with another child, causing the tantrum?" Xia Qingqian asked softly.
But as for her? Could she forget that pain? No, she couldn’t! Yes, she couldn’t, she would never forget that pain, the pain of Qiao Zhenyu’s departure, that silent departure made it unforgettable for her lifetime!
"It’s fine, the doctor has already given him an injection. If he knew Miss Xia wasn’t leaving so soon, he would probably perk right up!" Maria said with a smile, sharing the little one’s condition with Xia Qingqian.
"What? Was the little one throwing a tantrum because of me? I really can’t bear it, this matter shouldn’t have been brought to the little one’s attention." Xia Qingqian recognized the meaning in Maria’s words, the little one was upset knowing she was about to leave, and had thrown a tantrum with the family, right? Kids really are kids; they dislike facing separation the most, but this pain isn’t that deep. Truly, because time can erase all pain and unpleasantness.
