CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 157: I WANT TO FIND MY UNCLE (5 UPDATES, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)_2

"It’s like this, my nephew and I have a very good relationship, and I know many of his preferences."

"He once told me that he likes women who wear white dresses and mysterious masks."

"He thinks that if he could pursue such a woman, it would be the greatest fortune of his life."

Yuchi was smoothly giving himself an alibi.

Song Bei wanted to stay uninvolved, and since Yuchi was already putting up a poor front, it was best to utilize this identity directly.

There were many benefits to saying it this way.

At least it wouldn’t provoke anyone’s dislike—what girl would reject a boy’s affection, right?

Song Yinghan nodded slowly, her expression invisible, but her tone carried a hint of contemplation:

"I can understand him."

"However, many people like me, so if he wants to gain my attention, he needs to put in a lot of effort."

Yuchi: "?"

Miss, you’re quite confident, huh? He didn’t expect Song Yinghan to respond like that.

In jest, Yuchi intentionally said:

"Miss Song, you’ll definitely meet him in the future."

"I just hope that when you see him, you won’t bring it up directly."

"He’s still a very pure-hearted young man."

"Okay." Song Yinghan believed it.

The two then found Wei Qingzhu and Xun Xian, and briefly explained the situation.

Yuchi told them to freely enjoy the city for now, and that they would discuss specific matters at noon.

...

Far away in Xufu Town, at the Wei Family.

A young girl sat quietly in the courtyard, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, surrounded by lots of silk threads.

Her bright eyes were very gentle, as she calmly sat in the courtyard tailoring clothes for Yuchi.

A maid walked into the courtyard.

The maid, carrying little Ximo, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Wei Yuan and then said:

"Sorry to disturb you. Little Ximo wants to find Saburo, but he’s not at home. She’s been quite fussy since getting dressed this morning..."

Wei Yuan’s face immediately lit up with lots of smiles upon hearing this.

Putting down the scissors and pink fabric in her hand, she came to the side of the visibly pouty little Ximo, "Sister hugs you, okay?"

Little Ximo hesitated for a moment.

But upon seeing Wei Yuan’s open embrace, she nodded, leaving the maid’s arms to dive into Wei Yuan’s hug.

Burying her head and wriggling about, her mood slightly improved.

"I’m here, you can go about your work." Wei Yuan said with a slight blush, speaking to the maid.

"Alright, if you need anything, you can always find me. I’ll be waiting in little Ximo’s courtyard."

The maid gave Wei Yuan several gestures of gratitude.

Thanking her for stepping up and helping at this time; otherwise, she really wouldn’t know what to do.

Before leaving, she gave Wei Yuan an envious glance.

"With Yuan’er girl like this, Saburo and his future children will surely be fed well."

"So full—definitely enough."

"And little Ximo, you’re Uncle’s treasure, don’t overeat, or your Uncle will scold you when he gets back."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief as she left.

Wei Yuan tried to seat little Ximo on her lap, but little Ximo wouldn’t cooperate, just wanting to snuggle in.

Like a little eel.

Getting her emotions in check, Wei Yuan appeared a bit flustered.

How would she know how to take care of a child?

Normally, little Ximo wasn’t this troublesome, but as Yuchi’s absence lengthened, you could hear her shrill cries daily.

Fussing over finding her Uncle.

Even if her father Wei Fei returned from the office, along with her uncle Wei Zhe, it wasn’t enough.

No, she just wanted her Uncle to hug her.

"Ah, you’re a lifetime behind him," Wei Yuan quipped.

"Sister Yuan, what does ’a lifetime behind’ mean?" little Ximo tilted her head, immediately looking curious.

"It’s nothing," Wei Yuan laughed, "it’s just that you seem to really miss your Uncle, don’t you?"

"Mm!"

"I want Uncle to take me out to play."

"They’re busy during the day and just let me wander around the Wei Mansion."

"Other children seem older too; they don’t want to play with me, I just want to find Uncle!"

Little Ximo pouted as she thought about it, this little girl looking more and more aggrieved.

"But your Uncle is now in Jiangzhou City, he has many things to do there."

"If you go right now, although he wouldn’t reject your arrival, it would greatly interfere with his work."

Wei Yuan looked at little Ximo with her head bowed low.

She smiled again and said:

"And Uncle also said that when he comes back from Jiangzhou City, he’ll definitely bring you a gift."

"Aren’t you looking forward to what he’ll bring you?"

"Not looking forward... I just want Uncle to be with me."

Little Ximo leaned against Wei Yuan, looking up at the sky with her big, bright eyes.

The sky was all blue, even resembling clouds with patterns like dragon scales.

And this answer was unexpected for Wei Yuan; who would’ve thought that Yuchi and little Ximo had such a good relationship?

Wei Yuan thought about it for a moment, subtly adjusting little Ximo’s position when she wasn’t looking.

Otherwise, with this constant snuggling, she’d start to feel strange.

She took another breath or two to think.

She said: "By the way, little Ximo, what kind of person do you want to become in the future?"

Wei Yuan prepared to coax little Ximo into adulthood, opening up a lot of topics to talk about.

However, little Ximo replied without turning her head, "I want to have eight with Uncle."

Wei Yuan almost fell off her chair, barely maintaining her balance, and looked amusedly at the earnest little girl.

Thinking to herself, I haven’t even had eight with your Uncle, and here you are?

More seriously she said: "You are his niece, he can’t have eight with you, you’ll have your own prince charming in the future."

"I don’t want to, I just want to have eight with Uncle."

Little Ximo said stubbornly, nuzzling her arm, making Wei Yuan’s face slightly red.

"Alright, alright, eight it is. When you grow up, you can have eight with your Uncle."

This kid was really insistent, it wasn’t clear where it came from, but it’s just childish talk, not to be taken too seriously.

Wei Yuan considered for a moment and was ready to change the topic.

Then said: "Today’s weather is really nice, sunny and fair."

Little Ximo turned her head apologetically, "Yuan sister, are you teasing kids?"

Wei Yuan leaned back, "You are a kid."

Little Ximo: "I’m grown up!"

Then she glanced at Wei Yuan’s proud attire, "But not fully grown yet..."

"Really envy Uncle..."

"Ah!"

Wei Yuan...

Surrendered.

She started to sympathize with the maid taking care of little Ximo every day; could the Wei mansion’s little girl really be this mature so early!
