Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270 Delicate and Weak

"Mrs. Qin!"

Spotting Mrs. Qin and her two children, Su Yunjin’s face lit up with joy and she quickly stood up. Mrs. Qin was with her two children, the girl being naughty. As soon as she arrived, she took a tumble, but fortunately, she wasn’t hurt badly, just a scrape on the skin. The little girl, being pampered and frail under Mrs. Qin’s care, looked pitiful even with just a broken skin.

She felt very wronged.

Mrs. Qin’s heart ached for her daughter but still put on a stern face to scold her, lest the child would make the same mistake again. Her son had always been precocious, acting like a little adult.

Seeing his sister being scolded, the brother went over to comfort her.

Knowing his sister liked sweet and rich treats, he took her hand and led her to the desserts on the table, as the two children from the Prince Qi Residence would come here a few times a year.

Both children had tasted the delicacies of the Prince Qi Residence. The little girl enjoyed them, whereas the little boy thought they were more suitable for girls and seldom partook of the Prince Qi Residence’s desserts. Yet today, to cheer up his little sister, the boy unusually picked out several exquisitely cute pastries to comfort her, and she was easy to please. A child of a few years old doesn’t hold on to unhappiness—her recent grievance was just from the fall and her mother’s scolding. Now that she had her brother’s pastries, the little girl’s smile returned in an instant.

Clutching a duck-shaped cake, the little girl happily nibbled away, her delicate appearance endearing and especially charming, prompting Su Yunjin to envy.

She also wanted a daughter like that, so adorable that one would yearn to kiss her. Having pacified his sister, Mrs. Qin noticed Su Yunjin.

Seeing Su Yunjin smiling at her, she turned back to instruct her husband, telling him to watch the children while she walked toward where Su Yunjin and Gu Ya were seated.

"Lady Su, it’s been a long time." It had been several months since their last meeting. Mrs. Qin was also aware of the new branch of Zuixiang Restaurant that Su Yunjin had opened.

She even sent a congratulatory gift, but, with her own business keeping her busy and having to care for two children, she couldn’t find the time to offer her congratulations in person.

Su Yunjin looked at Mrs. Qin with a smile and gestured for her to take a seat. Mrs. Qin, however, didn’t sit down but suggested with a smile, "Lady Su, the side garden of the Prince Qi Residence has a pleasant scenery. Why don’t we take a walk over there?"

At Mrs. Qin’s suggestion, Su Yunjin instinctively glanced at Gu Ya. Gu Ya knew that his wife got along well with Mrs. Qin, and from his wife’s look, he could tell she wanted to visit the side garden with Mrs. Qin. It seemed that allowing his wife to stroll in the side garden would be harmless.

Moreover, Mrs. Qin would be there.

Gu Ya raised no objections.

"Yunjin, I’ll wait here for you. You go and talk with Mrs. Qin!" It wouldn’t be proper for Gu Ya to follow the two women, so he decided to stay put and enjoy some tea while waiting for his wife to return.

Su Yunjin followed Mrs. Qin in high spirits, while Qin Yan watched over the children and saw his wife following Su Yunjin toward the side garden.

Qin Yan didn’t follow.

He continued to watch the children.

It was then that Gu Ya noticed Qin Yan.

After a moment’s thought, Gu Ya approached Qin Yan.

"Master Qin!" Gu Ya came to a halt in front of Qin Yan.

Qin Yan gave Gu Ya a cursory glance, acknowledging that he was Su Yunjin’s husband, and politely nodded his head. Inviting Gu Ya to have a seat, Qin Yan made no objections.

Gu Ya took the seat opposite Qin Yan.

While Gu Ya and Qin Yan sat down to chat, on the other side, Su Yunjin and Mrs. Qin had reached the side garden. Out of the blue, Mrs. Qin brought up ketchup, her gaze making Su Yunjin feel somewhat guilty, "Lady Su, may I boldly ask where you got that ketchup you gave me?"
