She helped Jian Qingying wash her feet. This method of soaking had to be paired with a foot massage to obtain the best results. Her gaze was retracted, and she did not mind that Jian Qingying’s feet were dirty. This was a pitiful woman, a mother who had been searching for her daughter for years. However, she froze when the familiar scent of the herbs.
She thought of that man, but that only made her hate him more.
Tack! It was like something had fallen into the basin. She lowered her eyes, unwilling to let anyone know that she was crying. Crying was never the solution to any problems.
Jian Qingying got a little sleepy at this point. She had not slept well in years, and she really was tired from her long flight back home.
Xia Ruoxin helped Jian Qingying lie down and put the blanket over her. When she left with the basin, she ran into Lu Ke’en who was about to enter.
“Thank you.” Lu Ke’en’s face was still stoic, but Xia Ruoxin still felt that he was a little awkward around her.
He was rather stiff, and it was like it would kill him to thank someone. Of course, she dared not laugh at him. He was the leader of the military. He was not retired yet, and he was influential.
…
Perhaps it was because she finally found peace or that Xia Ruoxin’s method actually worked, Jian Qingying had a nice sleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was morning.
“How long have I been sleeping? Why do I feel sore all over?”
“You’ve slept for a day and a night. It’s normal for your body to be sore. You’ll feel better soon.” Qin Xuejuan hurried over with a smile. “Madam, I haven’t seen you sleep this well in a really long time. You didn’t even turn.”
“So long?” Jian Qingying herself was surprised. She usually woke up several times in a night; now, she slept for a day and a night. No wonder she was sore. She had slept for too long.
“Oh, right, where’s Xiao Qing?” Jian Qingying thought of her daughter the instant she woke up. Did she lose her daughter again?
“Madam, don’t worry.” Qin Xuejuan immediately comforted her. “Missy is giving Charlie a bath right now. He fell into a ditch and got really dirty.”
Was that so? She felt more at ease on hearing that her daughter was still around, but she still had to see it with her own eyes.
In the yard, Xia Ruoxin was squatted on the floor. She folded her sleeves up to reveal her clear, almost flawless skin. Lu Jinrong wanted to create a perfect sister and give Jian Qingying a daughter who had never suffered. Naturally, he did not let her leave any scars on her body, except for the tiny scar he added on her forehead.
Of course, her life was simple and clean. She was abducted and sold to an infertile couple. They raised her as their own. Even though they were not particularly well-off, they had enough. Her adoptive parents passed away not long ago, and she went to Hao Han to interview for a job. Lu Jinrong saw her and felt that she might be his sister.
He looked over her information and tested their DNA before he confirmed that she was Lu Xiaohua. Of course, everything was told by Lu Jinrong. He could say anything he wanted about Xia Ruoxin’s identity, but Jian Qingying would never doubt anything he said. She already treated Xia Ruoxin like her daughter.
Xia Ruoxin brushed Charlie’s fur with a brush from time to time, and she had used more than half a bottle of the animal soap to get rid of the smell. Charlie was a professionally trained dog so he lay quietly on the floor. He knew that he was dirty and wanted to be cleaned by his owner.
Lastly, Xia Ruoxin placed his four paws to be cleaned in the basin. She was so tired she could not sit up straight, but he actually fell asleep.
“Xiaohua.” Jian Qingying walked over and squatted down. She then took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Xia Ruoxin’s forehead. “Are you tired? Do you want to eat something?”
“Mom, I’m fine. He follows me around. If we don’t clean him, I might smell like him.” Xia Ruoxin smiled, her hands all wet. She did not really have a way of wiping her sweat. However, Jian Qingying did feel like a mother to her.
That motherly love could be seen from the warmth in her eyes.
“Let’s go, eat with Mommy.” Jian Qingying patted Xia Ruoxin’s head, but she felt a little upset when she felt her daughter’s hair. “You’re so big now, and Mommy’s old.”
“Me growing is normal; look at how old Brother is already.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Now that she had found her daughter, she had forgotten her son.
“Your brother’s face is aging faster than your dad. Your dad and I are worried that he’s going to be single and childless at the rate he’s going.”
Xia Ruoxin smiled but did not say anything. Lu Jinrong’s agedness came not from his face but his mindset and spirit.
He probably did not look for another person because of the one that he could not get over.
She turned and looked at the lethargic dog. She could not do anything about the dog’s laziness. Jian Qingying was scared that her daughter would be hungry and insisted on bringing her to lunch because she herself was hungry, too.
After they left, Lu Jinrong walked out from behind a tree and touched his face. Was he old?
However, there was only the father and son left at lunchtime. The mother and daughter had made their own food. Jian Qingying had brewed soup for her daughter.
“What are you looking at me for?”
Lu Ke’en rolled his eyes at his son. “What’s wrong with my face?”
“Nothing.” Lu Jinrong finally retracted his gaze. “My mom said that you look younger than me, and I just wanted to verify that.”
Lu Ke’en felt comfortable when he heard that. What could make him prouder than knowing that he looked young? He did age slower because he took care of himself.
Of course, despite his smugness, his facial expression remained even.
“So, what’s your conclusion?” He pretended to ask unconcernedly.
“En, conclusion?” Lu Jinrong held his chopsticks and ate his food elegantly.
He then took a napkin and slowly wiped his mouth.
