Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Opinions, But Too Afraid to Speak Up

Yu Nuannuan was sleeping soundly when suddenly, a soft, childish voice exploded right by her ear, jolting her awake.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Yu Nuannuan saw Gu Mo staring at her.

That chubby, fair little face wasn’t wearing its usual blank, adorable expression. Instead, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked distinctly unhappy.

Yu Nuannuan rubbed her eyes and called out, “Brother!”

A baby’s voice is sweet and soft to begin with, and just after waking up, it carried a hint of huskiness. Hearing it was like having a feather gently brush across your heart—ticklish and a little tingly.

In any case, Gu Mo couldn’t keep up his unhappy expression anymore; his frown relaxed in an instant.

“You kicked me.”

Gu Mo said this very seriously, his eyes even glimmering with a hint of grievance.

Seeing him like this, Yu Nuannuan suddenly had the urge to rush over and give his chubby cheeks a good squeeze.

Such a cute kid—if she pinched his cheeks, would he cry?

Just as Yu Nuannuan was debating whether to act on her impulse, Xu Shuhua and Qin Yuelan walked in, one after the other.

Xu Shuhua and Qin Yuelan each picked up a child—Xu Shuhua took Gu Mo, while Qin Yuelan picked up Yu Nuannuan.

“My little dumpling, what’s wrong? Did Nuannuan kick you? Does it hurt? Want Grandma to rub it better for you?”

That’s right, Xu Shuhua was holding Gu Mo, not Yu Nuannuan.

Being held in Xu Shuhua’s arms, Gu Mo stiffened for a moment, but quickly relaxed and shook his little head. “It doesn’t hurt.”

It really didn’t hurt.

He was just annoyed at being kicked awake out of a good sleep!

Even though he’d pretty much slept enough anyway.

Gu Mo glanced at Yu Nuannuan in Qin Yuelan’s arms and sighed inwardly.

Well, it’s not like this little fairy has any memories. Since she really is just a child, he wouldn’t hold it against her!

Since Yu Nuannuan was awake, Xu Shuhua picked her up and, together with Yu Hai, headed back to the Yu house.

They hadn’t even reached the front gate when they spotted a few people sitting and chatting under the big locust tree not far from the Gu family’s door.

One look, and Xu Shuhua raised her eyebrows.

Well, well—Wang Dilai, You Caihua, and Old Lady Wang with Wang Dabao in tow.

Nothing good ever happens when those three get together!

As Xu Shuhua looked over at them, the three women noticed her too.

All three were watching Xu Shuhua, and for a split second, their expressions were exactly the same: a mix of surprise, fear, and dissatisfaction.

Xu Shuhua didn’t break stride, walking straight to her own gate before stopping. “Well, well! Having a meeting, are we? What big plans are you cooking up?”

Wang Dilai’s brow twitched. “What’s... what’s it got to do with you?”

“Nothing to do with me? That’s best,” Xu Shuhua said with a smile. “If it does, though, I’m afraid you’ll end up losing more than you bargained for.”

With that, Xu Shuhua ignored the three and went straight into the yard.

Yu Hai flashed the three women a big grin. Seeing them all lean back in unison, he finally entered the house, satisfied.

When the Yu family’s gate closed behind them, the three women let out a collective sigh of relief.

They exchanged glances, but no one spoke for a long time.

After quite a while, You Caihua finally whispered, “She’s just too arrogant!”

Wang Dilai shot her a look. “You got a problem with that?”

You Caihua: I do! But I’m too scared to say it.

After all, the last time she’d spoken up, Xu Shuhua had slapped her, and her face still hurt just thinking about it. How could she dare say anything now?

(Vote, babies! Don’t stop voting just because I updated a little late!)"
