‘The next day.
“ah!”
A loud and clear scream broke the silence in the courtyard.
Jiang Ping, who was meditating and resting, suddenly opened his eyes, and his heart tightened.
With his abnormally sharp perception, he could clearly recognize that it was Wan’er’s scream!
He hurriedly flashed out of the room and arrived in Wan’er’s room almost in an instant.
“What’s wrong, Wan’er? What happened?”
‘As soon as Jiang Ping entered the room, he saw the three little girls gathered together with worried faces.
‘As soonas he finished speaking, Li Sushang also rushed over. Before she entered the room, she asked, “Wan’er, what’s wrong with you?”
‘The next moment when she saw that Jiang Ping was already in the room, her heart immediately calmed down a lot.
Jiang Ping didn’t have the time to pay attention to her at this moment. He hurriedly asked the three little girls, “Wan’er, Yan’er, Liver, what exactly is going on? Why are the three of you frowning?”
The three little girls pouted and looked at each other. In the end, Liu’er timidly walked out and said,
“Daddy, the gift you gave me, i
Hearing this, Jiang Ping suddenly felt shocked in his heart.
Could it be that there was something wrong with that stone?
“Liu’er, what’s wrong with that stone? Tell daddy quickly!” Jiang Ping asked anxiously.
Liver pouted and looked like she was wronged. She opened her mouth and finally said, “Daddy, see it for yourself.”
Then, she took out the stone amber in the blanket and raised it in front of Jiang Ping.
‘Then, Jiang Ping and Li Sushang were stunned.
‘There was nothing in the transparent stone amber. The mysterious little red flower from before had disappeared!
The stone amber had also undergone some subtle changes and became a little turbid. Although this change was very small, Jiang Ping felt that this special stone amber was gradually turning into an extremely ordinary stone amber.
Jiang Ping quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, “Liu’er, what exactly is going on? Where is the little flower in this stone?”
“Daddy, I don’t know either!” Liu’er’s little head shook like a rattle-drum.
Jiang Ping was silent for a moment, then he asked Wan’er and Yan’er, “Wan’er, Yan’er, do you know what is going on?”
Before he could finish, Wan’er’s expression changed, and she quickly denied, “No, I don’t know anything!”
“When I woke up early in the morning and saw that the little red flower inside the stone was gone. I was shocke:
She would not tell her father and Liu’er that she originally wanted to take advantage of Liu’er’s deep sleep to secretly play with the stone, but only then did she realize that the little red flower inside the stone was gone.
Although Jiang Ping noticed that there was something wrong with Wan’er’s expression, he did not have the mood to pay much attention to it now.
He looked at Yan’er. Yan’er spread her hands and said helplessly, “I don’t know what happened either. I was woken up by Wan’er. When I woke up, the stone was already like this.”
‘After saying that, she rubbed her eyes and could not open them.
Seeing the remaining stains in the corner of Yan’er’s eyes, Jiang Ping knew that this girl definitely didn’t know anything.
He could only ask Liver again, “Liver, did you hug this stone to sleep last night?”
Liver didn’t have time to say anything before Wan’er continued to complain, “Yes, Daddy. Liv’er not only hugged it for a night but also hugged it very tightly!”
“Liver, did you anything strange happen last night?” Jiang Ping asked again.
“Strange things? I don’t think so.” Wan’er’s big black eyes rolled around. After thinking for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted excitedly, “Ah, I remember something!”
Jiang Ping wanted to knock Wan’er’s head and ask her, “Are you Liu’er? Daddy is asking Liv’er, not you. Why do you always interrupt!”
However, when he heard that Wan’er seemed to have found something, he immediately became interested and quickly asked, “Wanrer, tell me quickly. Have you thought of anything strange?”
Under the concerned gazes of her father and auntie, Wan’er suddenly became listless and weakly said, “When I was sleeping, I vaguely hear someone saying something. You are me, and I am you!”
“Yes!”
Just as Wan’er finished her words, Yan’er suddenly became excited. She quickly said, “Daddy, I seem to have heard it too!”
Liver’s small face instantly turned pale, and her body immediately tensed up.
Didn’t she say this to the other Liu’er in her dream last night?
Oh no, how could Wan’’er and Yan’er hear it!
Liu’er didn’t know why, but she felt that the matter between her and the other Liu’er must be kept a secret. She couldn’t tell anyone, including her father!
So she quickly pretended to be dumb and said, “Wan’er and Yan’er both heard it, but why didn’t I hear it?”
“Liu’er, did you really not hear it?” Jiang Ping raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
Liv’er immediately panicked. She quickly buried her little face into Jiang Ping’s chest and said in a humming voice, “Daddy, I really didn’t hear anything. Can you stop asking me?”
This was the first time Liu’er had lied to Jiang Ping, so her heart was filled with panic.
She suddenly remembered what her father had said. A liar’s nose would grow longer, so she was feeling even more afraid in her heart.
However, this shouldn’t be considered a lie, right?
Liver touched her nose. She didn’t feel any changes!
Feeling that Liu’er was about to cry, Jiang Ping quickly comforted her gently, “Okay, okay, Daddy understand. Daddy won’t ask you anymore. Liver didn’t hear anything!”
“Liu’er, you can pass this stone to daddy first.”
Jiang Ping took the stone from Liv’er’s hand, and Liver didn’t stop him.
She didn’t know why, but now she felt that this stone wasn’t attractive to her at all. The warm and comfortable feeling while holding this stone was completely gone.
Therefore, she didn’t object to her father’s words at all.
“Okay, Wan‘er, Yan’er, Liu’er, it’s getting late. Hurry up and wash up and eat something,” Jiang Ping said as he got up and left.
“Ah, no, I haven’t slept enough yet!” Hearing Jiang Ping’s words, Yan’er immediately protested.
However, in front of Jiang Ping, this kind of protest was naturally ineffective.
He picked Yan’er up and said earnestly, “Daddy has told you many times, have you forgotten?”
“The early bird gets the worm!” Jiang Ping and Yan‘er said in unison.
Yan‘er waved her hand impatiently and said, “I know, I know. I will get up now!”
Jiang Ping left with satisfaction, and Li Sushang followed closely behind.
After the two of them left, Yan’er said in a whisper, “The worm that gets up early would be eaten by the bird!”
With that, she crawled into the bed like a baby silkworm..
