An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

When Jing Chunxi heard that Manager Yan and his family were coming, he was very happy and couldn't help but smile brightly, as if the warm spring sun was shining on his face, making him feel warm.

She said to Chuntao, "Go tell the prince that I want to invite Manager Yan and his family to dinner." There was excitement and eagerness in her voice, and she couldn't wait to entertain this family well.

Mrs. Yan stood up in shock. She had never expected such treatment. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and she looked astonished. She said quickly, "How can this be allowed? We are just here to pay New Year's greetings. We will have two cups of tea and then leave." There was a hint of panic and uneasiness in her voice, as if she was afraid that her behavior would cause trouble for others.

Mrs. Yan's heart was beating fast. She was a little flattered and didn't know whether to stand or sit. Finally, Jing Chunxi gestured for her to sit down.

In those days, the status of officials and merchants was vastly different. The Yan family had been merchants for generations, and even the minor officials in Jian'an City would only squeeze their money and never greet them with a smile. Those officials always had stern faces and acted bossy, taking the Yan family's money for granted.

But today, Jing Chunxi's actions made her feel as if she was in a dream, and she couldn't believe it was real.

It was because the three children were in trouble and were rescued by two noble people that the family was reunited. They pretended to be calm and brazenly stepped into the Cui Mansion.

What kind of family background did the Cui family have? Living in Jian'an City, they knew it. Although they were not sure about the identities of Xu Zize and Jing Chunxi, they dared not even imagine the background behind the people who could turn Jian'an City upside down.

They came to express their gratitude, intending to give away most of their money to thank the benefactor and establish a good relationship with her. However, they did not expect that the benefactor would not accept any money and, regardless of their social status, treated her children and family well. How could they not be moved by gratitude?

This kindness, like the warm sunshine in winter, warms the hearts of their entire family.

The host was feigning courtesy, and if they still had the nerve to offer them a meal, it would be shameless. Mrs. Yan knew that this favor far exceeded their expectations. She was even more worried that her behavior would make people think she was ungrateful and trying to take advantage of the situation.

So Mrs. Yan couldn't sit still and was only thinking about how to refuse.

"Why not? We don't have so many rules." Jing Chunxi said with a smile that was sincere and cheerful. "Let Tang Shuang, Xiao Man and the others come over for dinner. The three children can sit at the same table with them and have some fun."

"Otherwise, when we go back, the children will have grown up and won't even recognize us when we come next time." As she said this, she waved to Chuntao to quickly arrange meals for tonight.

Chuntao responded quickly, turned around and ran towards the kitchen, her steps as light as a little rabbit. She felt happy at the thought of having dinner with her masters.

"What? Are you leaving?" Mrs. Yan looked at Jing Chunxi in surprise, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. It was really beyond her expectation.

Jian'an City was just getting better. Everything was gradually recovering, and the people's lives were gradually getting better. She had thought Jing Chunxi and the others would stay a little longer to experience more of Jian'an City's atmosphere.

"Of course I have to go. I've spent the whole New Year away. If I don't go back, my family will be worried." Jing Chunxi said lightly. There was nothing else for her to do afterwards, so she had to go back as soon as possible.

Besides, they couldn't miss the delivery date for the sweet potato flour and dried bamboo shoots. If they didn't arrive on time, the villagers wouldn't receive the money as promised, which would be very difficult for Daya's family.

"However, we will leave first. The prince will stay in Jian'an for three or two months before leaving." Jing Chunxi added with some comfort in her tone. She was telling Madam Yan that although she was leaving, the prince would still be here, and this fate would not be severed.

After hearing what Jing Chunxi said, Mrs. Yan seemed very disappointed. She moved her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start. Finally, she said, "Tianbao will definitely be sad when she knows." There was a bit of helplessness and regret in her voice. Tianbao was thinking about Jing Chunxi, Tangshuang and Xiaoman even when she was sleeping. They had developed feelings for each other, and separation would definitely make her very sad.

"There will always be a time to say goodbye. Children have short memories and may feel a little uncomfortable at first, but it will be fine after a while. But Madam, you should keep it secret from her for now." Jing Chunxi said in a gentle tone. She knew the pain of separation and understood that children's feelings cannot be faked, so she hoped that Madam Yan could try her best to avoid this sad separation.

Madam Yan nodded in understanding. She knew her daughter's character and knew that she would definitely make a fuss again. It would not be nice if she cried and quarreled with the noble man when they parted.

It was for this reason that Jing Chunxi didn't tell Madam Yan the time of his departure. She felt it was better to come and go like the wind, without having to stage a farewell drama.

Separation always makes people sad. Instead of letting children fall into that emotion in advance, it is better to let them get along happily in the last moments of their lives and leave behind beautiful memories.

The two of them sat and chatted for only two or three cups of tea. Time flew by as they were so engrossed in their conversation. Just then, a servant from the front yard came over and said, "Miss, the prince sent me here to deliver a message. He said that Shopkeeper Yan has arrived and asked you and Madam Yan to sit in the front yard. He said that dinner will be served there later."

The servant spoke in a loud and respectful voice. He stood outside the door, head slightly lowered, waiting for Jing Chunxi's response.

Jing Chunxi replied, "I understand. We'll go there soon."

The two of them immediately got up, and Madam Yan went out to look for Tianbao. Unexpectedly, little Tianbao refused to go with them, even if they offered her food. Xiaoman had just heard the news and came over. The two of them had been having a blast in the yard. Even if they stopped now, the whole yard was filled with joy, and Tianbao's face was filled with a bright smile.

Finally, Jing Chunxi had no choice but to give up and said to them, "My wife and I will go first. Please pay attention later. If you see food being served in the front yard, bring Tianbao over. Everyone will have a share." These words comforted Tianbao, and the others were also very happy.

"Oh! Okay!" Tianbao was the first to respond, his voice clear and cheerful.

"There's something delicious again!" Frosting was greedy.

"I understand. Thank you, Miss!" Xiaoman said quickly, with a hint of gratitude and excitement in her voice.

The cheers and laughter of the children coming from behind moved Mrs. Yan a little. She couldn't help but say to Jing Chunxi, "No wonder Tianbao doesn't want to go back after coming here. There's no room for her to make such a fuss at home!"

Jing Chunxi responded with a smile: "Aren't all children like this?"
