279 A Short Vacation
“Good morning, honey.” The corners of Qiao Yanhui’s mouth curled up slightly. It was obvious how happy he was.
“Get up!” Xu Qing snorted coldly with an unpleasant expression on her face. After all, compared to Qiao Yanhui, who was satisfied and relaxed, she felt weak all over. She wanted to get up herself, but she couldn’t withstand the soreness and weakness of her body and fell back into Qiao Yanhui’s arms.
Qiao Yanhui smiled brightly. “Since you’re so enthusiastic, I won’t stand on ceremony…”
Xu Qing raised her hand and pushed his handsome face away fiercely. Then, she glared at Qiao Yanhui and quickly broke free.
Qiao Yanhui supported his head with his hand as he looked at Xu Qing’s angry expression. He didn’t say anything and simply watched her.
“I’m going to change now! Turn around.” No matter what, she felt ashamed to be stared at while changing.
“Why are you so shy? Which part of your body haven’t I seen before?” Qiao Yanhui’s voice was very seductive.
“I’m really getting angry now.” Xu Qing’s face flushed with anger.
Qiao Yanhui smiled helplessly. “Alright, I’ll close my eyes.”
Xu Qing was so angry that she wanted to kick him. After confirming that Qiao Yanhui had really closed his eyes, she took her clothes and prepared to put them on. In the end, before she could finish changing, Qiao Yanhui secretly opened his eyes. When Xu Qing happened to look over, Qiao Yanhui quickly closed his eyes again. Then, the two of them fooled around for a while before going to eat breakfast.
But at this moment, everyone had already finished their breakfast.
“Mommy, you said we have to go to bed early and wake up early, but you overslept,” Xue’er said seriously.
Xu Qing blushed. “Ahem, I overslept, so I deserve punishment.”
“Then make yam cakes for us.” Xue’er’s eyes lit up. When it came to desserts, she was more energetic than anyone else.
“Alright, I’ll make it for you,” Xu Qing could only reply, but she blamed Qiao Yanhui for making her feel so embarrassed.
Xu Qing made a few snacks in the hotel’s kitchen before the family continued to set off. Xue’er held the sweet yam cake and ate it happily in her brother’s arms.
Because she had business to do in Green Mountain Nation this time, if not for the fact that she was worried about the children’s health, she probably wouldn’t have even gone to the hotel to rest. Xu Qing thought that when she was free, she would definitely bring her family to tour around and make up for the children’s lost childhood.
In the next few days, they passed by several provincial cities, but there were fewer and fewer assassins. Clearly, Qiao Yanhui had shaken them off.
Of course, along the way, Xu Qing had also taken the opportunity to collect many things. Those things would become a huge fortune!
Because they were traveling all the way north and it was winter, Xue’er’s body couldn’t take it anymore. She curled up in her brother’s arms and trembled as she hugged the little fox for warmth.
Xu Qing touched Xue’er’s face with heartache. Among these people, Xue’er’s body was the weakest and she didn’t have internal energy. When they came to an extremely cold place, she suffered the most.
Qiao Yanhui hugged his daughter with heartache and wrapped Xue’er with his internal energy. It was all his fault for not finding Xu Qing in time, which caused Xue’er to be weak right after she was born.
Xue’er’s body quickly warmed up and she said softly, “Daddy, don’t use your internal energy to warm me up. I’m fine.” Xue’er was worried that Qiao Yanhui would be tired from using his internal energy to warm her up along the way.
“I’m practicing the control of my internal energy. Don’t you feel that the temperature is just right? This is the result of my practice.” Qiao Yanhui patted Xue’er’s little head dotingly.
“Then Daddy, practice quickly. I’ll come out when you’re done.” Xue’er smiled sweetly.
“We have to practice too,” Ting’er said.
Qiao Yanhui said, “Alright, when I’m done practicing, it’ll be your turn.”
“Yay!” Yuan’er immediately cheered.
Actually, their internal energy couldn’t warm Xue’er for long, but Qiao Yanhui didn’t want to disappoint them.
Xu Qing was also filled with relief. This was the family she loved!
Not long after, Qiao Yanhui suddenly stopped the car and smiled. “After so many days of traveling, do you guys want to go out and play?”
Xu Qing’s eyes lit up since she loved snowy days. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have named her daughter Xue’er. However, Xue’er…
At this moment, Xue’er was cheering. She had long been bored out of her mind. Now, she could finally go out and play!
Xu Qing was worried that Xue’er would be cold, so she took out a thick cloak and put it on Xue’er.
Although Xue’er was dissatisfied with being wrapped up, she was sensible enough not to complain. However, she was worried that her mother would wrap something else around her, so she hurriedly pushed the little fox out. “I’m really not cold anymore. Look, the little fox’s fur is very warm.”
