The sight of that happening shocked everyone to their core.
Ye Youyou immediately supported Su Qianci from behind while Ye Qianqian crouched down from above the spring to steady her.
Yu Lili was also stunned. She called out, “Qianci, are you alright?”
Li Jianyue hadn’t noticed what Su Qianci did. But, seeing all the adults react that way, she got a shock and cried out, “Mommy!”
Su Qianci shut her eyes tightly for a moment as her whole body felt powerless. Only after a long while did she manage to regain her balance. She shook her head and replied, “I’m fine. It’s probably because I spent too long in the hot spring. Let’s go.”
“Are you sure you’re OK? Come up and rest for a while.” Yu Youyou’s brows creased together in concern as she held Su Qianci steady. “Older Sister, please hand me a towel.”
“Oh OK.” Ye Qianqian’s actions were quick. She draped the towel around Su Qianci’s body before Ye Youyou led the latter onto the shore.
Su Qianci was feeling a lot better. She gently pushed Ye Youyou away as she said, “I’m feeling much better. Thank you.”
“You aren’t anemic, are you? People with anemia get dizzy periodically,” Yu Lili said with a frown. “That happened to me before when I was suffering from anemia. Let me get you some sugar water.”
“That won’t be necessary, Lili. You’re overreacting. I’m be fine after resting for a while.” Su Qianci stood up and stretched her back. “Don’t say a word about this to my husband. I don’t want him to worry.”
Yu Lili looked at her but didn’t say anything as she continued carrying Li Jianyue.
“Alright, let’s go out now. Ersu, are you hungry?” Su Qianci reached her arms out toward Ersu. “Let Mommy carry you. Auntie’s hands must be tired.”
Ersu hugged the towel around her body tightly and pouted her lips, but she didn’t lean toward her mother. She said, “Mommy, you’re not feeling well. You don’t have to carry me. I’ll walk on my own. Auntie, please put me down.”
Yu Lili liked the girl so very much. She put her down and helped her secure the towel around her body. “Are you worried about your mommy?”
Li Jianyue pursed her lips before replying, “It’s not good if Mommy isn’t feeling well.” With that, she pulled Su Qianci along by her hand and remarked, “Mommy, let’s go look for Daddy.”
I have to tell Daddy what just happened. Daddy will take good care of Mommy. Me and Older Brothers are still too young, there is no way we can take care of Mommy well. As for the aunties, they are all outsiders. Family takes care of each other best.
Although Li Jianyue was still very young, she understood a whole lot. Her eyes were like huge round grapes as she looked around. She grasped the palm of her mother’s hand as she schemed in her mind how she was going to spill the beans to her father.
Su Qianci looked down at her own daughter and could tell with one look exactly what she was thinking. She warned, “I’m fine. I’m not feeling any discomfort anywhere at all. You’re not to say a word to Daddy, do you hear me?”
“OK…” The child pouted her lips and looked down in defeat.
Yu Lili walked up and led the child away. She tossed her a set of clothing and watch as Li Jianyue clumsily put them on.
Although her actions were jerky, she was able to put her clothes on correctly. She even knew to look in the mirror to ensure she was dressed prettily.
Upon stepping out, Li Jianyue noticed her father standing tall. She pressed her lips into a thin line and ran out with her stumpy legs, calling out in a tone of grievance, “Daddy!”
Li Sicheng’s eyes softened when he saw his daughter. He crouched down to pick her up.
“Daddy, I have something to tell you…” Li Jianyue was about to let the cat out of the bag when she noticed Su Qianci’s warning glare. She quickly kept her mouth shut.
I can’t tell Daddy…
Li Jianyue’s eyes saddening shone. Looking to Li Jianqian beside her, she said, “Older Brother! I have something to tell you. Mommy almost fell when she was in the water just now!”
She had thought to herself, Since I can’t tell Daddy about it, I’ll tell Older Brother instead…
