Chapter 772: Chapter 773: Entrusting My Two Daughters to You

Two days later, Xiaodong, Xuanxuan, and Cheng Xiaoyue returned to Tiannan together. Reflecting on the past few days’ events at Minghe, Cheng Xiaoyue felt like she was living in a dream.

However, after they landed, she tactfully said her goodbyes. She had feelings for Xiaodong, but she was considerate enough to know not to cling to him too much, fearing that otherwise, she might lose any chance with him altogether.

This time, Xiaodong brought Xuanxuan back not only to meet up with Miao Qingqing and Sister Xiaoru but also to address another important matter, which was to resolve Li Sijie’s pregnancy issue.

"I already told you, we could have come over by ourselves. Why did you have to come all the way here to pick us up?"

At the airport, Sister Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing were waiting together. As soon as they met, Sister Xiaoru playfully chided Xiaodong, yet her eyes couldn’t hide her happiness.

Xiaodong, smiling, said, "Well, my sister’s status is one thing, but Qingqing is my main wife. How could I not come to pick her up myself?"

Miao Qingqing spat, "Don’t say it like that. It sounds terrible."

Xiaodong, wrapping his arms around Sister Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing’s waists, said, "Now it’s perfect. We can finally be together every day."

Miao Qingqing elbowed Xiaodong lightly and scolded, "Stop messing around. There are so many people here. What kind of impression does this create? Your status is not ordinary now, don’t let anyone take photos; it would be troublesome later."

Sister Xiaoru hurriedly added, "Yes, exactly. Do you want to cause another storm like last time?"

Xiaodong rolled his eyes and let go of them reluctantly.

The four of them got into the car, Sister Xiaoru immediately claimed the driver’s seat, then Xuanxuan sat in the passenger seat, leaving Xiaodong and Miao Qingqing in the back.

"Now that no one can see us, wife, I missed you so much." Xiaodong instantly embraced Miao Qingqing.

"Stop it, ah!" Miao Qingqing struggled briefly, but Xiaodong had already kissed her.

Usually at home, everyone shared one bed, so naturally, they weren’t afraid of being seen by Sister Xiaoru and Xuanxuan.

Miao Qingqing thought the same, putting up only a symbolic resistance before letting Xiaodong have his way.

After a while, Xuanxuan said, "Hey, hey, don’t you two go overboard. Sister Xiaoru is driving. If you distract her, it could be dangerous."

Miao Qingqing quickly pushed Xiaodong away, smacked him, and scolded, "Exactly. Once we get home, you can do whatever you like. Don’t be silly in the car." She then straightened her clothes; this darn guy, his hands were all over the place.

The journey was filled with laughter and chatter, and Xiaodong didn’t mess around anymore. They didn’t return to their home but instead went to Miao Qingyuan’s place.

At that time, Miao Qingyuan was in quite good spirits, and his wife’s complexion was rosier, a clear improvement from their time at the Su Family’s house, although she was still in a wheelchair.

Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing being with Xiaodong was mostly his doing, so seeing everyone together made Miao Qingyuan happy and he also deeply appreciated his son-in-law, Xiaodong.

After chatting for a while, Xiaodong said, "Auntie, when we were at the Su Family’s place, you wouldn’t let me tend to your legs. Surely, you won’t refuse now, right?"

At that time, Miao Xuanxuan’s mother still harbored some misgivings in her heart, but as time passed and she reunited with Miao Qingyuan, her concerns gradually dissipated.

"Let’s give it a try. If it can be cured, I won’t need your uncle to take care of me all the time, and Qingqing and Xuanxuan won’t have to worry about me constantly."

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan were overjoyed, and together they pushed their mother to the room downstairs.

Song Xiaodong gave his full effort in the treatment, spending over an hour. After all, her legs had been paralyzed for a long time. Although the Su Family had good conditions and had been providing her rehabilitation, the meridians were still somewhat damaged and took considerable effort to treat.

When Song Xiaodong removed the needles, he smiled and asked, "Auntie, see if you feel anything now?"

"Ah! I can feel my legs!" Miao Qingqing’s mother exclaimed in surprise and then slowly lifted them slightly.

Miao Qingqing, Miao Xuanxuan, and Miao Qingyuan all exclaimed in surprise.

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "I’ve only restored the function of your legs, but because of the long period of paralysis, you’ll still need some time for rehabilitation. The most important part now is for you to exercise on your own."

Miao Qingqing immediately said, "Alright, then we’ll help mom recover."

"No need!" Miao Qingqing’s mother gently shook her head, excited yet relieved, "Your caring is enough for me. The Su Family still has so many matters to deal with. You better hurry back to help out. Now, with the nursemaid’s support, I’ll be fine."

Miao Qingqing said, "But she doesn’t care as much as a daughter would."

Miao Qingyuan said, "Isn’t there still me? I’ve let your mom suffer for so many years. I must be the one to do this; only then will I feel at peace. You go ahead and take care of your own responsibilities."

Miao Qingqing’s mother then took Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan’s hands, turning to Song Xiaodong, "Little Song, now that I have left the Su Family, instead of calling you Family Head, I speak to you as Qingqing’s and Xuanxuan’s mother."

"Auntie, please speak," Song Xiaodong immediately responded with great respect.

"I’m entrusting Qingqing and Xuanxuan to you. You must treat them well and not let them suffer like I did."

Song Xiaodong said solemnly, "Auntie, rest assured, I will fulfill this promise. They are my treasures. I will always cherish and protect them."

"Hmm, I believe you," she said, passing Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan’s hands to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong took their hands and they looked at each other. At that moment, he suddenly felt a profound shift in his feelings for Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan.

If previously it was akin to a romantic love, where the burden of responsibility was less, now, Song Xiaodong was very clear that he was responsible for Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan for a lifetime.

During a wedding ceremony, when a father passes his daughter’s hand to the son-in-law, many perceive it as merely a formality, or indeed it is a formality, but for those involved, it represents something different — an act of entrusting the daughter’s care to the son-in-law, a sacred transfer of responsibility.

Thus, from now on, Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing were truly Song Xiaodong’s!

Song Xiaodong, Miao Xuanxuan, and Miao Qingqing all felt this way. The eyes of Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan reddened, and they instinctively snuggled into Song Xiaodong’s embrace, who opened his arms wide, holding them tightly. A sense of pride surged within him; these were his women, and he would never allow them to suffer any harm in the future.
