The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 50: Peerless Little Bride 3
The ethereal voice struck the young wife’s heart in an instant, leaving her bewildered.
By the time she came to her senses, she found herself standing at the edge of the forest, with the path home right in front of her.
The rain had stopped.
Was what just happened merely an illusion?
The young wife was full of doubt.
However, suddenly, there was a soft sensation in her hand.
She looked down to find a chubby little girl holding her hand. Seeing her gaze, the girl also looked up at her and smiled.
The young wife widened her eyes in surprise.
What is going on?
Who is this child, and whose family does she belong to?
Moreover, why does this child look so much like that Boss Tian from the store just now?
The young wife stared at the child in front of her, unable to regain her composure for a while. The little girl stared back at her silently.
Inside the All Things Store, Kong Hou and Dong Xiao stood before the mirror. Kong Hou laughed heartily, "Hahaha, I never expected that the master was as chubby as I was as a child, no, probably even chubbier? The master must have loved eating since childhood."
Dong Xiao remained silent.
If you don’t bring trouble upon yourself, trouble won’t come. Should he remind the laughing Kong Hou that the master can hear what they’re saying?
Yes, the little girl holding the young wife’s hand was Tianmiao, transformed into her childhood self.
"Hahaha, look at the master’s little arms, they’re just like lotus roots, so chubby. I wonder how Lord Heavenly Dao raised her," Kong Hou laughed so hard that he cried like a goose, "Er er er... Master, when she was young, she was just a little chubby girl, yet she criticizes me now."
Dong Xiao quietly pulled out a cloth.
"What for?" Kong Hou was puzzled.
Dong Xiao said nothing, merely handed the cloth to Kong Hou.
"Dong Xiao, are you out of your mind? What are you doing..." Kong Hou had barely finished speaking when Tianmiao’s cold voice sounded in his ear.
"Before I return, clean the floor on the third floor of the store thoroughly, it must be spotless. Otherwise, I’ll break your four legs." Tianmiao’s voice was full of menace.
Kong Hou’s face immediately fell as he took the cloth from Dong Xiao, his desolate figure going to wipe the floor. As he walked, he cried, "Turns out I’m the one who’s out of my mind."
Dong Xiao suppressed a laugh behind him, shrugged helplessly, and very unconvincingly shed a tear of sympathy.
When will this silly dragon learn to be a little smarter? Just a little bit would be enough.
At this moment, the young wife finally came to herself. She crouched down and gently asked little Tianmiao, "Little girl, where is your mother? That Boss Tian earlier, is she your mother? Why did you follow me out, your mother might be worried. How about I take you back home?"
Little Tianmiao shook her head, then tightly gripped the young wife’s hand and stuffed a piece of silver into it.
"I’ll leave when the time comes. This is my accommodation fee for the time I’ll stay at your home before I leave," little Tianmiao said without any room for negotiation.
The young wife looked at the silver in her hand, taken aback. This piece of silver must be worth ten taels; it could cover her family’s expenses for half a year.
"Let’s go, go back, it’s getting dark." In an indisputable tone, little Tianmiao took the young wife’s hand and walked forward a couple of steps.
The young wife followed in a daze and only came to her senses when they arrived at the village entrance.
Just like this, she brought the little girl home?
"What’s your name?" The young wife finally remembered to ask little Tianmiao’s name.
"Tianmiao." Little Tianmiao looked up at the young wife and softly uttered two words.
