Listening to her fragmented murmurs, Lady Yun and Yun Wanchen furrowed their brows, their expressions turning involuntarily grave.

The ’mission this time’ mentioned in Ningning’s inner voice, is it Su Qianxue’s new task?

Just how important must it be to make her decide to enter a dream?

The last time she entered a dream was when Pei Yu and Su Qianxue conspired to set a trap for Yun Wanyao.

Lady Yun suddenly had a flash of insight, recalling the time at Wan’an Garden when Yun Wanyao’s face didn’t look well, and she started to speculate whether Yao’er didn’t look good previously because of this matter?

It seems necessary to ask Yao’er after dinner.

Thinking this way, Lady Yun instinctively raised her head and looked towards Yun Wanyao, noticing her expression was normal, thus reinforcing her suspicion.

Upon hearing such an important matter, Yao’er seemed so calm, surely it’s because she knew about it beforehand.

Once everyone finished their meal, Yun Wanqing was already asleep, and Lu Wu did not leave immediately; instead, he held Zhenzhen, cherishingly guarding by her side.

Lady Yun walked over, kissed the little bundle on the cheek, instructed Yun Wanchen to look after the little one, and then called Yun Wanyao to leave with her.

Watching the mother and daughter leaving, Yun Wanchen’s eyes flickered slightly, instantly guessing the reason.

"Brother Lu, I need to step out for a moment. Could I trouble you to watch my younger sister?"

He turned to Lu Wu and spoke, a broad smile immediately blossoming on Lu Wu’s face.

"Princely Heir, attend to your matters. I will definitely look after Miss Ningning."

It’s like someone offering a pillow just when you feel sleepy.

Frankly speaking, he really wanted to pinch the adorable Miss Ningning, but with the Princely Heir watching nearby, it wasn’t appropriate to make a move.

Now, the Princely Heir voluntarily entrusted Miss Ningning to him, and how could he refuse such a good fortune?

"Mm, thank you, Brother Lu."

After expressing his gratitude, Yun Wanchen left.

Watching him go far away, Lu Wu immediately turned his gaze back, cherishingly playing with Yun Wanqing, pinching her soft little cheeks and touching her rosy little hands, his eyes practically popping out hearts.

’Pop!’

His hand was suddenly slapped by a small, dry, heavily scarred hand.

Lu Wu was slightly taken aback, lowered his head, and saw Zhenzhen looking at him with discontent.

A warm place can indeed heal an injured heart. Although Zhenzhen had only been with the Yun Family for less than two days, she showed a bit more vitality, no longer appearing lifeless like a walking corpse.

For instance, right now, she was experiencing an emotional dissatisfaction she had never shown before.

"What’s the matter?"

Lu Wu asked curiously in a soft voice.

After a moment of silence, the little girl opened her lips and said in a dry, hoarse voice, word by word, very awkwardly, "Do not disturb my sister’s sleep..."

Hearing this, Lu Wu was stunned, his eyes widened.

After coming to his senses, he still found it unbelievable and said, shocked, "How come you’re suddenly saying so many words?"

Since he first saw this little child, till now, almost eight or nine days had passed.

Ever since he took her away from the Shang Family, they had been together all the time, but along the way, she hadn’t said a single word.

After coming to the Yun Family, not counting this sentence, she only spoke twice, one sentence of four words, the other of three.

And today’s sentence has more words than all she’s spoken so far combined.

However, upon hearing Lu Wu’s words, the little girl stopped speaking again, lips tightly pressed together, her eyes steadfastly watching him.

"Why aren’t you speaking again? Speak if you have something to say. You might have been less talkative before, but words are habituated by speaking more and loved by speaking often."

"If you say a lot, you’ll become fluent at it, and speaking is a way for people to communicate, a way for people to express themselves. Whatever thoughts you have, as long as you say them out loud, people will know."

"But if you always remain silent, how will everyone know your aspirations, what you want, don’t want, like, or dislike?"

"Thus, speaking is a very crucial act in life. You need to gradually become good at expressing yourself so you can interact better and obtain more."

"All past events are behind us. Zhenzhen, you need to look forward and become better. The future holds many wonderful things waiting for you..."

Lu Wu bent down, gently touching the little girl’s head, patiently teaching her.
