Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Qin Jiao hurried back from the balcony. At first, she thought she was hearing a baby crying outside.

It wasn’t the first time. Before, she had even been able to hear Shen Yi’s voice from outside.

But this time, the crying was too loud, too close.

When Qin Jiao rushed back into the bedroom, she was stunned to find her daughter, Xiao You, sitting on the bed in the spatial bedroom, her little eyes red from crying.

The little girl had been asleep. She’d suddenly woken up to find herself in a strange place. Her brother was gone, her mother was gone, and she was so frightened she immediately burst into tears!

”Xiao You, don’t cry, don’t cry, Mama is here.” Qin Jiao immediately rushed over and hugged her daughter.

After finally managing to soothe the little princess, who was a mess of tears, Qin Jiao looked around in confusion.

’How did Xiao You get in here?’

But Xiao You had already fallen asleep in her mother’s arms, and Qin Jiao couldn’t bear to wake her. So, holding her tightly, she vanished from the space in a flash and reappeared in their bedroom at home.

Qin Jiao didn’t sleep well for the rest of the night, constantly checking to see if her daughter was still beside her.

Fortunately, there were no more incidents.

By the time morning came, Xiao You hadn’t entered the space again. However, the little girl’s eyes were puffy from crying.

Xiao Zijin had already dressed himself and was standing on a stool to brush his teeth.

While dressing her daughter, Qin Jiao asked softly, ”Xiao You, did you have a nightmare last night?”

”Mm-hmm, I dreamed that Mama was gone. I went looking for you, and I ended up in a strange place. But I found you in the end.”

Staring into her daughter’s dark, grape-like eyes, Qin Jiao was profoundly shaken.

’After all, even Shen Yi had to be brought in by her to enter the space.’

’And yet, Xiao You had managed to get in all by herself.’

’The reason the space had suddenly shrunk was still a mystery, and now there was this new development of Xiao You being able to enter... Fortunately, if Xiao You did get in, Qin Jiao would know as long as she cried out. So for now, it wasn’t a major issue.’

’As for the reason, she’d have to search for it slowly and carefully.’

Qin Jiao said gently, ”Xiao You, if that ever happens again, just call for Mama, okay?”

”If I call for you, will you come find me?”

”Yes.”

The little girl nodded firmly and broke into a happy smile.

She threw her arms around Qin Jiao’s neck and said, ”Mama, you’re the best!”

After finally placating her little princess, Qin Jiao drove the two children to kindergarten. As luck would have it, she ran into Meng Lanlan again.

Qin Jiao didn’t really have any issue with her, so she offered a casual greeting.

But Meng Lanlan seemed very reserved around Qin Jiao for some reason. After a moment, she said softly, ”Xingxing said when she got home that she had a lot of fun playing with your son and daughter at kindergarten.”

”Oh, Zijin and Xiao You said the same thing when they got home. By the way, why does Meng Xingxing want Zijin Xiao You to call her ’big sister’?”

Meng Lanlan froze. ”Huh? What do you mean?”

”They’re in the same class and get along great. But the children came home and said Meng Xingxing wants them to call her ’big sister.’ Did you tell her about her birth family? I don’t really mind, but adult matters are complicated. I don’t want the children to have to carry such burdens at their age.”

Qin Jiao’s tone was even, but Meng Lanlan looked completely baffled. ”No, no, no! I haven’t told Xingxing anything. Other than the fact that she’s adopted, I haven’t told her anything else.”

”Then maybe it’s because she thinks she’s older than Zijin Xiao You? But it’s not a big deal, you don’t need to be so tense. The kids are still little. Whether it’s Zijin and Xiao You, or Xingxing, it’s best if they just have a happy childhood.”
