Chapter 185 - 145: Celebrating a Birthday_2
Qian Yixiu dressed herself very solemnly, taking out the set of clothes she stored away, which was the same pink undertunic and skirt she wore when visiting the Zhang family, and put them on. Over it, she wore a red single-layered shoulder cape. Qian Xiaoyu helped her tie her hair into a bun and fastened two red silk ribbons to it.
Today, Qian Yeejin was wearing a light brown satin robe, and Qian Xiaoyu specifically combed his hair into a topknot. The change in hairstyle made the young boy appear even more handsome and refined, although Qian Yixiu still preferred the cool little boy with the ’tree’ on his head. But everyone has to grow up, and whether she liked it or not, he had to change.
Cheng Yue, looking at her beautiful pair of children, smiled so broadly that her eyes curved into crescents, repeatedly exclaiming, "How pretty Xiu’er is, how handsome Jinwa is."
Having once been an outsider observing Cheng Yue giving birth to little Qian Yixiu, and Lady Wu picking up Qian Yeejin, these two babies had grown up in the blink of an eye to be seven years old. Although the original child had passed away, this once frail body, now housing an adult soul, was nurtured to be plump and fair, and currently was only half a head shorter than Qian Yeejin.
Looking at Cheng Yue, who was joyfully watching her children, the changes in their young mother were also significant. She had grown at least five centimeters since she came to this family. She was roughly only one meter fifty when she first arrived, now not less than one meter sixty. From this perspective, the young mother could not have been more than thirteen or fourteen when she first arrived. To have been so tenderly cultivated by ’little father,’ to conceive and bear children, and yet to have both of them safe and sound, truly, it was hard on her. Moreover, she still believed that she had given birth to Qian Yeejin in her sleep.
Qian Yixiu really, really cherished this silly, beautiful young mother, walking over to give her a kiss and softly stroking her cheek, she said, "Mother, thank you, you’ve suffered."
Cheng Yue looked at her daughter in puzzlement, not understanding why her daughter was thanking her or what suffering she had endured.
Believing he understood his sister’s thoughts, Qian Yeejin also kissed Cheng Yue, saying, "Mother, son also thanks you, thank you for giving birth to me, for nourishing me."
Cheng Yue then understood; it was about this. She laughed as she hugged the small brother and sister together and said, "Mother loves Xiu’er, loves Jinwa... Mother is happy to have given birth to you so beautifully."
After cuddling enough, the three of them went to the main room together.
Qian Sangui and Lady Wu, upon seeing their beautiful and intelligent young children, were quite emotional and said some encouraging words while patting their heads.
Especially towards Qian Yeejin, Qian Sangui specifically mentioned that he was now a little lad and needed to start behaving as one...
