Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 466: You Look Really Nice When You Smile

Ji Wei nodded in agreement, grabbed some water and food, and prepared to head out.

Jia Ming, who was obediently eating at the side, saw Ji Wei and Mary about to leave. In a panic, he threw down his bowl, ran over, and grabbed Ji Wei’s arm. "Little Wei, are you leaving again? Take me with you, please?"

"Brother Jia Ming, I’m staying a few more days. I’m not leaving," Ji Wei patiently explained.

"I don’t believe you! You’re definitely lying to me! You brought me good food, and now you’re going to leave again!"

Jia Ming stubbornly believed that, just like when they were younger, Ji Wei would come and then be taken away, never to be seen again.

His eyes turned red, and he clung even tighter to Ji Wei’s arm. "I don’t want you to leave... None of the kids in the village will play with me. They say I’m an idiot, but I’m not stupid! I know Little Wei is pretty, and I know you like to play with me!"

Looking at Jia Ming’s childlike face, Ji Wei’s nose tingled with emotion.

Grandma Li saw Jia Ming being relentless and quickly coaxed him softly, "Jia Ming, be good. Grandma will make pancakes for you later."

"I don’t want pancakes! I want to play with Little Wei!" Jia Ming shouted loudly, his tone firm.

In Jia Ming’s eyes, nothing was better than being with Little Wei.

"Jia Ming, come here! Don’t delay Little Wei from getting her work done!" Grandpa Li grabbed the nearby wooden stick and said sternly.

Frightened, Jia Ming quickly hid behind Grandma Li and muttered, "Bad Grandpa, bad Grandpa..."

"You little brat, who are you calling bad?!"

Grandpa Li was fuming, raising the stick to charge forward, but Grandma Li quickly stopped him. "Old man, that’s enough! Why are you picking a fight with a kid?"

"Kid? He’s already in his twenties! No manners at all. It’s all because you spoil him too much!"

Ji Wei saw Grandpa Li about to swing the stick at Jia Ming and suddenly spoke up, "I’ll take Jia Ming with me. It’ll be like letting him go out for a walk."

"He’ll just cause trouble for you."

"Don’t worry, Grandma. If there’s any problem, I’ll immediately have Mary bring Jia Ming back."

Seeing Mary’s athletic attire and strong demeanor, Grandma Li didn’t continue to object.

"Jia Ming, listen to Little Wei on the way. No tantrums, understand?" Grandma Li instructed.

Jia Ming impatiently responded, then bolted out the door. Ji Wei and Mary quickly followed after him.

Watching the three figures disappear into the woods behind the mountain, Grandpa Li couldn’t help but worry aloud, "Old woman, are you sure they’ll be okay on this trip?"

"Stop with the nonsense! The wolves and tigers in there have been gone for years. What danger could there be?"

Even as she said this, Grandpa Li still felt uneasy inside.

The back mountain was very quiet.

The three of them walked deeper along the shaded path under the trees.

Jia Ming was excited the entire way, delighted by everything he saw.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

Hearing the birds calling from the trees, he imitated them perfectly, making Ji Wei and Mary laugh.

"Little Wei, your smile is so pretty," Jia Ming said with a wide grin, complimenting her.

People often said Jia Ming was slow, but at times, he seemed perfectly normal.

Ji Wei was amused by his words. "Jia Ming, do you even know what ’pretty’ means?"

Jia Ming was stumped by her question. Scratching his head, he tried hard to think.

"Ugh, what does pretty mean? I can’t figure it out. What do I do, what do I do..."

Seeing Jia Ming about to get agitated, Ji Wei quickly changed the subject. "Jia Ming, look over there! There’s a little squirrel!"

Jia Ming immediately noticed the cute little head peeking out from behind a tree. Like a child, he clapped and exclaimed, "A squirrel! I’m going to catch the squirrel!"

As Jia Ming dashed toward the squirrel, Ji Wei quickly signaled for Mary to follow him.
