Chapter 404 - 227 Really fated_1
Little Monk was held by Aunt Cheng Yue’s hands, his face showing both happiness and shyness, and he was so excited that his face turned red and he was at a loss for what to do.
Qian Yixiu fetched a silver note worth one hundred taels of silver and handed it to him, saying, "This is for the Buddha’s incense money."
Little Monk did not stand on ceremony, taking the silver note with his right hand and tucking it into his chest. But his left hand kept holding onto Cheng Yue’s hem, and his eyes watched her unwaveringly.
Cheng Yue, who was pregnant, radiated even more of a mother’s love and knew better how to express it, seeming even clearer than before. She let Little Monk hold onto her, one hand on her belly while the other occasionally touched the top of his head or his little face, gently asking about some details of his life in the temple.
Little Monk answered all of her questions, even the number of times he went to urinate at night, which made Qian Yijin and Qian Yixiu cover their mouths and laugh on the side.
The two siblings were very considerate; whenever Little Monk came, they would not crowd around Cheng Yue to let Little Monk fully enjoy the maternal love.
Little Monk played in Wangjiang Building until dinner, then returned to Daci Temple with half a cart of golden lotus roots and several dozen lotus leaves. Before he left, he clung to Cheng Yue’s hem and repeatedly called her "Auntie," his eyes full of reluctance.
Cheng Yue tenderly cupped his face and said, "Visit more often in the future, don’t wait too long, your auntie misses you."
Little Monk nodded vigorously before finally leaving with reluctance.
