In the blink of an eye, three days had passed but the Xiaowan's "beautiful dream" still did not wake up.

She could eat hot food every day, could wear clean and beautiful clothes every day, had a big bath barrel filled with hot water for her to bathe in, and most importantly, everyone here treated her well.

When the sun rose, Xiaowan woke up and cleaned herself up. She was determined to help the shop with some work today, as this was the only thing she could do to repay Manager Ling and the others.

Just as she walked out of her room, someone knocked the door of the shop loudly. Ling Chaofeng came down from the third floor in a hurry with his robes draped over his shoulders and the two of them made a move towards the door. Xiaowan was blushing red, but Ling Chaofeng smiled and wanted to greet his.

The Aunt Zhang was extremely happy as shsheread the letter horizontally. She muttered to herself: "Ershan, that brat, he is really capable."

He did not forget to push Ling Chaofeng aside: "He's much stronger than you."

Uncle Biao prepared breakfast and called Xiaowan down to eat it. Little Pei stood on the third floor sleepily and shouted, "I want to pee …"

The Xiaowan was the closest to him, so he took the initiative to carry Little Pei and bring him to his own room to use as a toilet. Afterwards, she washed his face and combed his hair. After putting on his clothes, the little fellow immediately became lively.

When they went downstairs, Susu and the child also came. Everyone discussed whether or not they should send someone to the capital to take care of Lian Yi.

In the letter, Lian Yi wrote that she did not want her mother to go to the capital, saying that her mother would stay at home was fine, she was afraid that her mother would bring her brother's family back to the capital, at that time, it would become Ershan's problem. In the Li Prefecture, a mother could pass her later years peacefully with the care of a servant girl.

"In her letter, she said that the Bi’s Mansion Old Madem was currently in the palace and she felt very bad for her." Aunt Zhang said, "How about we wait for her to be born soon and make a trip to the capital to take a look at Lian Yi and the children. Their house is not big, we will be back in a few days."

The Xiaowan led Little Pei to eat breakfast by the side. Hearing their agreement, the entire family clearly did not have blood relations with Little Pei, but they were very close to him. And she had nothing to do with the inn at all, yet they treated her so kindly.

At this time, Ling Chaofeng happened to be looking at Xiaowan and their gazes met. Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat and hurriedly avoided the gaze, giving the egg in her bowl to Little Pei to eat.

After the meal, she took the initiative to clean up the tableware. Aunt Zhang did not allow her to do as she said: "Aunt, let me do something. Otherwise, I won't be able to stay here any longer. How can I eat and drink for free?"

Aunt Zhang was helpless, she said to Little Pei: "Bring Aunt to the well at the back door, help her move a small stool over there, and use a cushion to support her."

The young girl and the young girl happily went to the back door. Susu brought the child to Aunt Zhang and whispered to him, "Is the shopkeeper interested in this or not?

Aunt Zhang laughed: "Let him be. I won't urge him, if he can't marry my wife, I won't lose a piece of flesh."

The two of them talked as they looked at Ling Chaofeng. Ling Chaofeng knew that he was being discussed and looked helpless.

By the well by the back door, Xiaowan stacked a small boat with leaves for Little Pei. He sat on the side and floated the small boat in the water basin, having fun.

Xiaowan was quickly washing the dishes. This was something that she had to do every day at home, it was just that this scene made her feel a sense of déjà vu.

Not only was he washing the dishes, ever since he had arrived at the inn, he had felt as if something had flashed past his mind, but unfortunately, he could not catch it.

She told herself not to let her imagination run wild. The good days before her could end any day now. Everything would end, and the suffering would start anew. She could not stay here for the rest of her life.

Xiaowan quickly washed the dishes and brought out the wooden basin, telling Little Pei to follow her. When she turned around, she saw Ling Chaofeng standing in front of him. The man easily received the wooden basin: "I'll carry it for you."

When Ling Chaofeng left with the wooden basin, she finally caught up to him: "Manager Ling, I can do it myself."

ignored him and headed straight for the kitchen. Xiaowan followed him to the backyard, saw the kitchen, saw a few rooms beside, and also saw a small house at the end. Somehow, she knew that it was a bathroom for a bath.

She asked Little Pei if he was right, and he nodded his head continuously.

Xiaowan felt that she was weird, she must have never been here before, could it be that she had heard about it from the people in the village?

Ling Chaofeng came out very quickly, seeing that the Xiaowan was following him, he said: "Go and rest well, someone is doing the things in the shop."

Xiaowan lowered her eyes in embarrassment: "Manager Ling, my body is already better. I want to do some work, more or less, I can repay you guys."

"There's no need to repay me. Even I didn't thank you when you bought the candied fruits for Little Pei."

"It's only a few coins, but I …"

"Little Pei has been following you for the past few days, and he's been really happy. We left him alone on the third floor when the shop was busy. Now that you are accompanying him and he is happy, we can rest assured. " Ling Chaofeng said, "You have already helped me a lot."

Xiaowan said in a soft voice, "Little Pei is very obedient and very cute, he was actually the one who helped me vent my boredom."

Ling Chaofeng laughed and walked towards the store. Xiaowan stood there in a daze as her heart raced.

Had she fallen in love with this Manager Ling, or did it feel like being alone? Without feeling ashamed, she wished that she could marry this man, but how could she have such a good life?

She was not worthy of the Manager Ling. Forget about other things, she felt ashamed of letting someone like the Madam Xu become the family of the inn. She did not know what kind of trouble she would bring to the inn in the future.

The stepmother was very, very bold and powerful. She was also very tyrannical in the village, and no one dared to provoke her. As a result, she was only watching as she was beaten.

It seemed alright, but there were some people who took this as a form of entertainment. They would gloat as they tried to dissuade their stepmother. They would purposely poke at her sore spot, further infuriating her and making her beat them up.

The painful experience made her feel nauseous. Xiaowan suddenly realized what she was thinking. No matter what she thought about, even if there was only one day left, she would cherish the days she spent in the inn.

Seeing Little Pei looking at her anxiously, she laughed: "Let's go to the back of the mountain to pick some wild herbs and catch some bugs to play with."

Little Pei cheered as he dragged Xiaowan and walked towards the back of the mountain.

Ling Chaofeng caught up to them and stood at the back door watching them. He was extremely worried as the young and old duo drilled their way into the mountains.

"You're worried, so go take a look." Aunt Zhang, who was picking rice, stood behind him and said faintly, "What's the use of staring at them?"

Ling Chaofeng looked at her, at a loss of what to do.

Aunt Zhang laughed: "You see, put on clean clothes, eat rice for two days, and you will be like a fairy. This kind of beautiful daughter is only hidden in the village and no one sees her, otherwise, everyone will love her, when the time comes you won't be able to snatch her away."

Ling Chaofeng's expression was solemn, he held back for a long time before asking, "If you come to propose marriage, do you want to invite a matchmaker?"

Aunt Zhang laughed: "If you nod your head, I will help you with everything. However, you must first ask the lady if she is willing. You have a three year old chubby boy to take care of here. "

Ling Chaofeng thought about it, then followed the two of them into the mountain.

In the mountain top, Xiaowan had already picked some wild vegetables, but Little Pei who had grabbed the bugs ran over to her side, tugging at her skirt to ask her to take a look.

Xiaowan looked up, and sure enough, there was a bird nest on the tree, with a few birds chirping inside the nest.

Little Pei carefully held up the young bird. "Aunt, let's put it back."

Xiaowan stood on her tiptoes and reached out her hands, but she couldn't even touch a branch. She said: "Little Pei, let Aunt hug you, and try if you can."

Normally, she would be able to carry firewood with a bit of strength, but she was really small, and her strength was limited. In the end, she was still short of that final breath, and was already sweating profusely.

Suddenly, his arms loosened, and Little Pei was carried away. Xiaowan raised her head and saw that Ling Chaofeng had appeared out of nowhere.

carefully put the little chick back down and counted. He happily said, "There are five birds, there are five."

Ling Chaofeng took the chance and put his son on his shoulder, telling her to pick the white and tender flowers on the tree. Little Pei was clever, he immediately put the flowers on Xiaowan.

Xiaowan blushed. She touched the pear blossoms on her temples and felt her heartbeat increase.

It was as if she had asked the young brother of the Wang family next door to pick her flower because she had a flower on her head. The Aunt Wang thought that she was trying to seduce her son.

Now the father and son had put the flowers back on her.

"Aunt is so beautiful." Little Pei clapped his hands, and Ling Chaofeng told him to pick a little more, and to put it on for his Grandmother and Aunt Susu later.

Little Pei was flustered, Ling Chaofeng despised his son for being stupid, the little guy sat on his shoulder and stomped his feet in worry, Ling Chaofeng said: "You want to break daddy's neck?!"

Xiaowan watched dumbly, seeing the pure white petals being shaken down by Little Pei. She suddenly understood in her heart, as tears unconsciously rolled down her face, and she actually blurted out, "Hubby …"

When the two words came out of her mouth, Xiaowan was shocked awake. From her cheek all the way to her neck, she covered her mouth.

Fortunately, neither father nor son heard him.

Little Pei picked a few flowers and put him down. He looked at Xiaowan and saw that she was blushing red as if she had a fever. He could not help but ask worriedly, "Miss Xiaowan, are you alright?"

Xiaowan shook her head and took a step back. As she spoke, she went to pick the wild vegetables, but she did not know that her dress had been hooked.

Their faces were so close to each other that even Xiaowan could not see Ling Chaofeng's face clearly.

"Are you alright?" Ling Chaofeng asked. If one looked carefully, why did Xiaowan look like she had been crying.

"I'm fine …" Manager Ling, thank you. " After the Xiaowan regained his balance, he quickly left the man's embrace. However, his back was extremely hot and the area he hugged became hotter and hotter.

Little Pei stood at the side and asked absentmindedly: "Daddy, do you want to kiss aunt?"
