As they were about to take action, Xiao Bao took a few steps back, holding Xiao Zhi’s hand.
“Please, gentlemen, don’t be too harsh on them. Just capture them and hand them over to Uncle Nan Qiao,” Xiao Bao said with a smile. His words made Xiao Zhi shake his head helplessly. Would these individuals still be alive after being handed over to Uncle Nan Qiao?
Xiao Zhi stood sympathetically beside Xiao Bao, looking at those people.
Did these people not bother to find out who they were messing with before causing trouble?
To come looking for trouble without any prior knowledge, these people were quite bold.
“Brother, let’s go. Let’s leave this to them.”
“Okay.”
Although Xiao Bao was unsure of the exact number of people following him and Xiao Zhi, he knew there were definitely more than two.
Even if these two individuals stayed behind to deal with these people, there would still be others watching over them.
It was precisely because of this that the secret guards handling these individuals could confidently let Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi leave.
Xiao Bao took Xiao Zhi to their friend’s house, and they played until the afternoon before returning home. Upon their return, they went to find Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao looked at Xiao Bao with a stern expression, “You daring little rascal, you should write a letter to your father about this.”
“Hehe, Uncle Nan Qiao, I’m fine, aren’t I? I only dared to do this because I knew someone was following us. Please don’t tell daddy about this, okay?” Xiao Bao couldn’t imagine having to inform Su Yu about the incident. That would be disastrous.
“Uncle Nan Qiao, you’re the best. Please, don’t tell daddy, okay?”
Seeing Xiao Bao’s vulnerability, Nan Qiao softened, but still maintained a serious tone, “If there’s a next time, I will write a letter to your father about everything.”
Xiao Bao quickly nodded, “Okay, no problem.”
Nan Qiao looked surprised at Xiao Bao. What mischievous idea was this little guy up to now?
“This is your idea, but we can choose not to inform your father. As for what sister-in-law might say, we’ll have to wait and see,” Nan Qiao thought sympathetically about Wang Jinhe’s reaction upon learning about the incident.
“I’m going to see my mommy,” upon hearing this, Xiao Bao hurried to find Wang Jinhe, with Xiao Zhi following behind him.
When the two went to find Wang Jinhe, she was discussing matters concerning the Gu and Qing families with Wan Feng.
Seeing Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi approaching, Wang Jinhe shook her head helplessly. These two troublemakers would become uncontrollable if they weren’t disciplined.
“Mommy, we’re back.”
“You finally decided to come back? I thought you were out having fun,” Wang Jinhe looked displeased as she gazed at her son.
She approved of her son’s actions, but at the same time, she was also angry. While Xiao Bao’s approach helped minimize unnecessary harm, it also showed a lack of concern for his and Xiao Zhi’s safety, which was what made her unhappy.
“Mommy, I know I was wrong.”
Watching Xiao Bao apologize with his head hanging low, Wang Jinhe shook her head helplessly. “You, I didn’t say you did anything wrong. In fact, what you did was right. Just make sure to prioritize your safety.”
“Otherwise, if something happens, how will your father and I handle it?” What if something bad happens while you two children are together?
Xiao Bao quickly nodded, “Mommy, rest assured, I only acted after ensuring my and my brother’s safety.”
“I know that daddy has assigned several secret guards to watch over me and my brother. I trust that they can protect us,” Xiao Bao had great trust in the individuals Su Yu placed around them.
The people his father placed around them must be exceptionally skilled.
Wang Jinhe looked at Xiao Bao helplessly. This mischievous boy certainly knew what he was doing.
She reached out and poked Xiao Bao’s forehead, her face showing a mix of sternness and helplessness as she said, “You can’t do this again next time.”
Xiao Bao quickly nodded upon hearing this, relieved that his mother wasn’t angry.
“Mommy, I understand. Don’t worry, I will take care of myself,” Xiao Bao assured, patting his chest.
Upon hearing Xiao Bao’s words, Wang Jinhe chuckled and shook her head, “You’re just a young child. Can you really take care of yourself?”
This child may have quite a clever mind, but can he truly take care of himself?
She hoped he wouldn’t cause any trouble. She was already grateful for that.
Xiao Bao suddenly felt dejected. If his mother didn’t believe in him, what could he do?
Xiao Zhi spoke up, “Mommy, rest assured, I will look after my little brother.”
Wang Jinhe reached out and ruffled Xiao Zhi’s hair, “Then I’ll rely on you to take care of your brother.”
Xiao Zhi felt a bit embarrassed by the gesture. He was already quite grown up, and having his mother pat his head made him feel a bit awkward.
Seeing Xiao Zhi’s embarrassed expression, Wang Jinhe reassured him, “No matter how old you are, you will always be my precious little son.”
Xiao Bao leaned in, unwilling to be left out, and said, “Mommy, I’m your precious son too.”
Wang Jinhe chuckled at Xiao Bao’s insistence and shook her head, “Alright, you’re also my precious son.”
With Su Yu gone, having these children around made her days less lonely.
Xiao Bao grinned mischievously, whispering something to Xiao Zhi. Seeing the two children like this, Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but smile.
Regardless, as long as these two children were happy, that was what mattered.
“Oh, by the way, Mommy, Xiao Zhi and I are going to a friend’s house tomorrow to play. We’ll go in the morning,” Xiao Bao spoke up, thinking of something.
“Oh? Why do you need to go in the morning?” Wang Jinhe asked, surprised.
Xiao Bao chuckled, “It’s our friend’s birthday tomorrow. We promised to celebrate with him.”
“Have the strawberries from our garden arrived? If they have, can I take a basket to give to our friend as a birthday gift?” Xiao Bao asked Wang Jinhe, feeling a bit shy.
Wang Jinhe nodded with a smile, “Of course, I’ll have it prepared for you in the morning.”
“Thank you, Mommy.”
The next morning, after Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi finished their studies for the day, Wang Jinhe had already arranged for a fruit basket to be prepared for them. In addition to strawberries, there were other fruits neatly arranged in the basket, making it quite visually appealing.
“Thank you, Mommy.”
“Thank you, Mommy.”
“Off you go.”
Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi, accompanied by the servant, set off to celebrate their friend’s birthday.
Not long after they left, they encountered a woman holding a child.
Upon seeing the woman, Xiao Bao’s smile froze, and impatience flickered in his eyes.
“Brother, let’s go.”
“Stop.”
The woman holding the child was Gu Jing, who had returned with Zhang Qin a few days ago. Upon her return, she learned that Su Yu had already gone to the battlefield.
She had originally considered finding an opportunity to meet Xiao Zhi, but she unexpectedly encountered him here.
“Xiao Zhi, come over here,” Gu Jing ordered, looking at Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable upon seeing this person. He really did not want to see her.
Xiao Zhi looked at the woman and the child in her arms, “I don’t know you. Xiao Bao, let’s go.”
