Wang Qiuling felt her spirits plummet to the depths every time she thought about the faces of Yan Xiqing, Yan Dongsheng, and Yan Jinhao when they found out.
Her well-maintained white hands clenched tightly, veins bulging. Her gentle face, now lacking any outsiders around, twisted and deformed her originally beautiful features in anger.
Since she had given birth to Qiusheng, it had been over thirty years since she last felt aggrieved. Even her husband, being much younger than him in their May-December marriage, though not as close as her cousin, had always maintained her dignity.
Now, being treated like this by Yan Jinsu, Wang Qiuling, who originally had no fondness for Yan Jinsu, felt even more disdain.
"Indeed, she is uncultured, those who grow up wild just don’t turn out right!" A fire ignited in Wang Qiuling’s heart, and she suddenly remembered the former Miss Yan Family—
Yan Jinsu feared that taking the children out and returning home downtrodden would lead to Nanny Chen and the others thinking too much.
"Brother Chen, is there any place around here where we can have fun and eat?"
"Zhili Street [fictional] is pretty good. It is still early in the day; we could try snacks from different regions, especially roast lamb legs, roast goose, etc. It’s quite nice for a family outing."
"I see..." Yan Jinsu glanced back at her two adorable children, who were wide-eyed, looking out the car window at the scenery.
"Wife, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, there should be many people setting up lantern displays now. It’s not far from here, and you’re not showing much yet, so why don’t we take the chance now to go have a look?"
Yan Jinsu shyly glared at her husband, "Okay, let’s go then."
Wang Chunmei heard Third Sister-in-law agree, her face lit up with joy. Ever since she heard about going out, she had been itching to go out as she rarely did, clearly wanting to explore everywhere.
In her view, everything in Beijing carried a sense of novelty and profoundness.
She definitely wanted to explore thoroughly, to make this rare outing worthwhile.
As for Sister Tao and Sister Gui, unlike the playful Little Ya Wang Chunmei, when they heard the master and mistress wanted to go out, they immediately heightened their guard out of professional duty.
Going out always harbored risks, and the busier it was, the more careful one should be.
Zhili Street is a famous night market in Beijing, a one-stop destination for food and shopping. Even now, in winter, it was bustling. When Xie Jingchen drove there, it was just past noon, and it was the peak time for lunch.
Being in central Beijing, there were many foreigners around, which made Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi even more curious. Not to mention the children, even Wang Chunmei, seeing blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners for the first time, was so startled that she stepped back.
