Free Web NovelChapter 638: Chapter 638: Becoming a Winner in Life
"Mother~" Perhaps sensing that overwhelming resentment, Si Niang uneasily burrowed into her mother’s embrace.
The child’s adorable sleeping face was heartwarming, providing Qin Yao with a bit of comfort amidst her collapse... but she was still so overwhelmed!
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her murderous intent, gently patting her daughter’s back to lull her to sleep, carefully withdrawing her arm, and using the corner of the quilt to mimic her embrace ensuring the child wouldn’t wake, then sat up and got out of bed.
Someone was startled by her actions, bumping into something with a not-so-quiet muffled thud.
Stupid, really! Qin Yao cursed inwardly.
She pretended to be deaf, went to the door, removed the bolt, then returned to the window, and shoved open the tightly closed window full of resentment, catching it halfway with her hand to avoid hitting the frame and making noise that would wake the little one in bed. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The cold wind immediately blew in, waking Qin Yao whose light sleep was blown away by the chilly breeze.
The sensation of the mind wanting to sleep but the body incapable of it, anyone who has experienced it knows it’s maddening.
Qin Yao returned to bed, worried she might pass her chill to Si Niang, she warmed her limbs with Qi then snuggled into the covers to embrace the adorable human cub.
She forced herself to close her eyes, pretending to be blind.
The group led by Bai He appeared in the middle of the night, who were they after if not a simple fugitive?
Qin Yao didn’t want any trouble, especially on someone else’s turf; even a mighty dragon should lay low first.
The Capital wasn’t far from here, this Sheng Country’s most bustling city was inhabited by either nobles or noble families, the wicked feudal dynasty was utterly unreasonable, those with privileges could easily target her, an ordinary civilian, and pin any hat they fancy without effort. freēwebnovel.com
In that post-apocalyptic world where order had collapsed, for the sake of survival Qin Yao abandoned all weaknesses and chose to be a lone wolf.
Alone, she was practically invincible.
But who could have thought, a chance rebirth brought vibrant, cute individuals into her life.
Once a lone wolf enters a pack, she is no longer invincible, instead, she’s full of vulnerabilities, and yet, she still wishes to protect these weaknesses.
Humans, they’re truly bizarre creatures...
After a series of wild thoughts, the insomniac Qin Yao managed to fall asleep.
The uninvited guest under the bed wasn’t utterly foolish; sensing the owner’s tolerance, he quietly apologized and before dawn slipped away through the unbolted door.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to courteously shut the door.
Well-mannered enough.
Qin Yao slept until she naturally woke up, finding the room quiet, and the rain outside had been pouring for quite a while now, the droplets pattering as if attempting to drill through the tiles, yet she managed to sleep through it.
Si Niang, already up, had dressed herself, stepping on a stool to wash her little face at the washstand, rubbed her little hands, then took out a nearly finished review to keep reflecting.
Qin Yao rose from bed, and turning her head, she saw the obedient little girl diligently writing a review at the table, joyfully went over and ruffled her scattered hair.
"Mother!" Seeing her mother awake, Si Niang was super happy.
Doing her own hair was still challenging for Si Niang, and with her hair messed up by her mother, she spontaneously brushed it towards the back of her head with her hand, giggling, "Mom, I’m hungry, I want some meat."
Qin Yao nodded in a perfunctory manner, cupping the little girl’s face and inspecting it, suddenly proposing:
"Sweet darling, how about we cut some bangs?"
Si Niang curiously asked, "What does that look like? Is it pretty?"
"Should be pretty, want to try?" Qin Yao asked while her hands were already searching for usable tools.
Si Niang nodded, full of trust, handing her head over to her mother.
Qin Yao found a pair of scissors and confidently snipped away, Si Niang watching her hair fall, carefully catching it in her hands, eagerly asking, "Is it done?"
Qin Yao gazed into those crystal grape-like eyes, approvingly nodding, "Surely very adorable~"
Let Yin Le, the skilled chignon mistress, style two little braids, tying silk ribbons for a knockout look.
The Yunlai Inn’s lobby had a lively, cute little girl, waving her pretty little braids, flaunting her new bangs, and spinning around to ask others: "Does my mother’s haircut look nice?"
"Grandpa Qi, look at my bangs!"
"Uncle Ah Wang, do you think I look pretty?"
"Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, look at me, Mom cut my bangs~"
Spotting Qin Feng coming down the stairs, she buzzed over like a busy bee, "Uncle Boss, look at my hair, Mom cut it; does it look good?"
Qin Feng earnestly examined it before nodding in genuine admiration, "It’s lovely, making Si Niang’s face look small and eyes big."
"Also, call me Uncle from now on, alright?" Qin Feng reminded with a smile.
Si Niang hesitated; you can’t just call someone Uncle randomly, and quickly ran back to her parents, observing the adults’ reactions.
Qin Feng strode over, repeating what he said to the children to Da Lang, Second Lang, and Sanlang.
The children were all dumbfounded; Mr. Qin had said in the middle of the night that their mom was his sister, surely it was a spontaneous fib to help solve a predicament, right? It can’t be true?
Qin Yao hadn’t anticipated Qin Feng’s move either, but seeing his sincere, earnest eyes, she felt a pang, as if something was about to surge forth.
Qin Feng was uneasy under her gaze, despite his confident demeanor he actually was quite uncertain, and waiting so long for Qin Yao’s response, he sighed helplessly, leaned closer, and whispered, "The kids are all watching, give me some face, dear Aunt, I’ve even prepared a greeting red envelope."
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, slyly asked him, "Who am I?"
Qin Feng answered without hesitation, "Qin Yao."
"Although we share the same bloodline, disregarding blood ties, can’t I recognize a martial master, keen and calm sister?"
Qin Yao laughed — this brother she acknowledged!
Proudly shrugged at the children, nodded towards Qin Feng ahead of her, "Let me formally introduce you, this is your mom’s sworn brother of the same parents, go ahead and greet him."
The four kids were collectively stunned, exclaiming "Ah?" aloud, glancing at their parents, then at Uncle Qin Feng who was brimming with anticipation, their little brains unable to process such overwhelming information.
Of course, Second Lang was the sharpest; having such a wealthy, generous uncle shouldn’t be passed up, promptly performing a junior’s salute, "Zishu greets Uncle!"
He nudged his big brother and younger siblings, signaling for them to quickly greet him.
Sanlang and Si Niang foolishly smiled at Qin Feng, shyly calling him Uncle.
Da Lang took a deep breath, suppressing the thoughts he couldn’t figure out, performed a formal salute, respectfully acknowledging him as Uncle.
Qin Feng was suddenly delighted like a naive nouveau riche, handing out the prepared red envelopes one by one, patting their shoulders:
"Great, great, all good children, we’re family from now on, lacking anything just let Uncle know, don’t hold back or worry about Uncle’s silver, Uncle has nothing but lots of silver, hahaha!"
The lobby was filled with Qin Feng’s laughter.
Oh, and Liu Ji’s obsequious calls of Uncle-in-law.
At this moment, possessing an invincible wife and a fabulously wealthy uncle, plus four outstanding children, Liu Ji fancied himself a winner in life!
