Chapter 1112: Chapter 1111 Qingyun Enlists 1

Bai Xue, though bored to death, often wandered aimlessly and received news late, so she arrived a step behind. When she got to Feng Qingxue’s home, she heard them enthusiastically discussing twins and paused in slight surprise.

After listening carefully for a while, Bai Xue finally understood they were talking about Feng Qingxue having twins and immediately said, "Xibao and Fubao’s little brother or sister will certainly be adorable. They definitely won’t be like Comrade Su Junlin’s twin sons, so spoiled and overbearing. I’m so fed up, I can’t wait to return to the cultural troupe and continue working."

Bai Xue’s words revealed quite a bit of information, Feng Qingxue thought to herself.

Fubao, with her sharp ears, heard Bai Xue’s words and instantly shouted, "It’s a brother, it’s a brother, not a sister!"

"Why can’t it be a sister?" Bai Xue teased her, "You’re so pretty, so adorable, all inheriting your mother’s beauty. You are a little beauty now, and you’ll grow up to be a big beauty. It would be nice to have two sisters as pretty as you and your mom, wouldn’t it?"

After all, the Lu Family already had Xibao, the clever and nimble son, so they weren’t lacking a boy.

Fubao, puffing up with irritation, insisted, "It’s a brother, it’s a brother, Mom, it’s a brother!"

"We’ll only know if it’s a brother or sister once they’re born," Feng Qingxue soothed her daughter, "Fubao, don’t worry. Whether it’s a brother or sister, Mommy’s favorite will always be Fubao. Who else but Fubao could be Mommy’s treasure?"

Fubao was coaxed into happiness.

Bai Xue noticed the grass beads around her neck and on her wrist, "Fubao, your necklace and bracelet look so pretty. Who made them for you?"

"Mommy!" Fubao touched her necklace then suddenly pulled a long face, looking pitifully and said, "Mommy, I didn’t bring my beads back. So many beads, enough to make lots and lots of necklaces."

Feng Qingxue was speechless; they had tried to minimize luggage on their trip and had completely forgotten about the grass beads.

Seeing Feng Qingxue’s expression, Fubao knew she had guessed right. Her lips began to quiver, and just as she was about to burst into tears, Bai Xue awkwardly intervened, "Fubao, Fubao, don’t cry. I have a beautiful necklace, much prettier than the one made from those Broken Grass Beads. Can I give it to you? Would that be okay?"

Fubao stopped her crying at this but still sounded choked up, "No acceptance without merit."

"It’s ’no reward without virtue’," corrected Xibao from the side.

"Oh, ’no reward without virtue’! But what does ’no reward without virtue’ mean?" After saying this to Bai Xue, Fubao seemed to forget why she was crying. She climbed onto the kang bed, rolled to the side, and nestled against a small pillow, "Sleepy, Fubao wants to sleep."

Fang Ning and Yang Fengying stood up one after another, "Qingxue, you must be tired from the journey; take a nap first."

"Sure, we’ll get together after getting some rest." Feng Qingxue was indeed very tired and didn’t bother with courtesies. Too weary to get off the kang, she asked Fengying and Xibao to see them out.

Feng Qingyun escorted them out of the courtyard, "Sisters, take care. Come visit my older sister again when you have free time."

"Bye-bye!" Xibao waved his hands vigorously.

Yang Fengying heard Feng Qingyun’s voice for the first time, crisp and melodious, incredibly sweet, and her eyes light up.

Fang Ning hadn’t paid attention, patted Xibao’s bald head, and said to Feng Qingyun, "No need to see us off; we’re all family. Hurry back and look after your sister. She must be having a hard time carrying twins."

"Okay, sisters, take care."

After watching them leave, Feng Qingyun pulled Xibao back inside, only to find that her sister had already fallen asleep in that short time.
