The General's Little Peasant Wife

Translator: Vesper

Ning Meng Yao knew Mu Chen very well. Even if she disagreed today and did not let him go, Mu Chen would still secretly go over to see her. But this would eventually affect the trust between them, so it was better to generously consent to him.

After all, Mu Xue would not intervene too much with them in the future. So she would be more sincere this time.

They continued to talk about the Xiao Empire for a while, before they left.

“I thought you wouldn’t agree.” Qiao Tian Chang said with a chuckle when he was alone with Ning Meng Yao as he looked at her.

Ning Meng Yao’s eyes flickered slightly, “Is there any point even if I disagree?”

“It would be useless.” Qiao Tian Chang shook his head decisively.

“Yeah. Why should I go against his wishes if it is useless to disagree?” This sort of life was probably the best for Mu Xue now.

Qiao Tian Chang watched Ning Meng Yao and shook his head helplessly.

“Daddy, mummy, where is Brother?” Qiao Mo Shang’s short legs carried him as he came walking in from outside and crawled onto Qiao Tian Chang’s arms with both his hands and feet. He looked up at them with his big, round eyes.

Every time his son looked at him that way, his heart would instantly melt. This time was also no exception.

Qiao Tian Chang carried his son and kissed his tender face, “Didn’t your brother tell you that he is going to practice martial arts, and that he can’t be with you for a long time? Have you forgotten?”

Qiao Mo Shang tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded. “Oh, I remember. But I miss my brother.”

“When your little brother and sister are born, your big brother will return.” Qiao Tian Chang smiled as he pointed at Ning Meng Yao’s belly.

This made Qiao Mo Shang confused. He looked at his father, and then looked at his mother’s pregnant belly. He reached out with his tiny little hands to touch it and asked, “But, when will little brother and sister come out?”

Qiao Tian Chang looked at his son helplessly. He realized that no matter what, his son would always come up with various questions.

Ning Meng Yao smiled, looking at the father-son duo’s interaction, “Little brother and sister are still very young and it will take several months before they come out.”

Qiao Mo Shang’s small brows furrowed as he looked at his mother with a puzzled expression and asked, “How long is ‘several months’?”

Ning Meng Yao choked for a moment. She was gloating happily when she saw Qiao Tian Chang being questioned by their son until he was speechless but when it was her turn she was no longer happy, it was simply a sullen feeling.

Qiao Tian Chang thought about it for a while then replied, “They will come out when Shang’er grows big.”

Qiao Mo Shang was about to open his mouth to say something but Ning Meng Yao quickly put a snack in it, and quickly said, “Here, have some snacks.”

Qiao Mo Shang took out the snack with his small hands, pursed his lips and looked at Ning Meng Yao’s innocent face. “I am not hungry, Mummy.”

Ning Meng Yao became speechless. She had not given him the snack because he was hungry instead she just wanted him to stop asking so many questions. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

“Shang’er, didn’t you say you wanted to see Daddy’s big horse? Do you want to go see it now?” Qiao Tian Chang suddenly thought of this idea and suggested hurriedly.

Speaking of Qiao Tian Chang’s horse, Qiao Mo Shang’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. “I want!”

Qiao Tian Chang held Ning Meng Yao in one hand and Qiao Mo Shang in the other as the family of three walked towards the ranch. Qiao Tian Chang and Ning Meng Yao felt so relaxed to have finally gotten rid of the annoying questions.

Qiao Tian Chang led his horse out for Qiao Mo Shang to see after they arrived at the ranch. However, he noticed that Qiao Mo Shang was not satisfied. He hugged Qiao Tian Chang’s neck and looked at the horse brightly and said in excitement, “Daddy, let’s ride the horse.”

Qiao Tian Chang’s face darkened but he nodded helplessly when he saw his son’s excitement.

He carried his son and got on the horse, telling Ning Meng Yao not to get too close to the horse. They then rode the horse around the ranch slowly.

Qiao Mo Shang was tightly held in Qiao Tian Chang’s arms, as if afraid that the little boy might suddenly disappear. But this little fella was a bit uncooperative as he kept moving around making it hard for Qiao Tian Chang to control the horse.

“Shang’er, dear. Be good, if you still want to ride the horse next time, then be good, okay?”
