Let's go back to after Yan Yincheng met the two little ones.
Nanny Zhang brought the two little ones, who had tried to sneak out to play on their own, back home. As they walked, she earnestly admonished the two little ones:
"You've been really naughty today. How could you sneak away while Nanny Zhang was away? You almost scared Nanny Zhang to death. Do you know that? When the young mistress comes back, I'll definitely tell her what happened today and let her teach you a good lesson!"
Yuan Xiaoxuan looked up and said obediently, "We know we were wrong. Uncle Yin has already scolded us. Nanny Zhang, we won't do it again."
Yuan Xiaoxu said, "Sorry, Nanny Zhang. We made you worry."
Nanny Zhang couldn't help but turn around and look at the bodyguards carrying the shopping bags behind them, as well as Yan Yincheng, who was following far behind to escort them home. She nodded in satisfaction again in her heart.
This Mr. Yan was quite sensible. He didn't take this opportunity to say anything inappropriate to the two young masters. Instead, he even taught the kids a lesson.
The bodyguards placed several shopping bags in the living room. They looked extremely spectacular.
After driving the bodyguards out, Nanny Zhang said to Yan Yincheng and Wei Shu standing outside the door, "The gifts will be kept here for now. As for whether the young mistress will accept them, I can't guarantee that. But I advise Mr. Yan not to get his hopes up too high. After all, the mistakes you've made can't be easily forgiven with just some limited - edition clothes."
"Also, although I don't know how you found out the young mistress's address, I won't allow the two young masters to have too much contact with you without the young mistress's approval. Otherwise, I'll use the broom on you again!"
Yan Yincheng remembered what had just happened and felt a faint pain in his buttocks. He nodded at Nanny Zhang and said,
"I understand, Nanny Zhang. Please rest assured. I'll be careful. Then, I'll take my leave."
The two little ones hid behind Nanny Zhang and poked their heads out from either side, watching Yan Yincheng leave reluctantly. Wei Shu saw this scene and felt his heart melting. He couldn't help but think that it would be great if the third master could see this. He really wished the third master could witness such a precious moment.
After closing the door, Nanny Zhang lowered her head and met Yuan Xiaoxuan's pitiful gaze.
She thought the little one would say something, but unexpectedly, Yuan Xiaoxuan lowered his head and let out a long sigh like an adult:
"Sigh..."
Nanny Zhang: "..." You're only three years old. What are you sighing about!
Yuan Xiaoxu was different. He happily turned around and ran towards the living room. He sat on the cashmere carpet, emptied the contents of the shopping bags, and started unpacking. He also waved at Yuan Xiaoxuan:
"Brother, come and unpack the gifts!"
Yuan Xiaoxuan looked up at Nanny Zhang pitifully again. Nanny Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "Go ahead! When the young mistress comes back, I'll try to speak up for Mr. Yan and ask her not to return the things!"
Yuan Xiaoxuan's eyes lit up. He opened his arms towards Nanny Zhang. Nanny Zhang squatted down shyly. Xiaoxuan gave her a kiss on the cheek and said in a milky voice:
"Thank you, Nanny Zhang!"
Nanny Zhang felt like she was about to melt like the spring snow. This was the first time the young master had kissed her! She never thought that as a servant, she would receive such treatment!
Yuan Xiaoxuan walked over to Yuan Xiaoxu with a smile, sat down, and started unpacking the gifts with him!
Not long after, Aunt Li, who had gone to the vegetable market to buy groceries, came back. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the numerous shopping bags on the floor and the two little ones working hard to unpack the packages.
Filled with doubts, Aunt Li carried the vegetable basket into the kitchen. Just as she put the things down, Nanny Zhang slipped in from outside.
"Little Sister Li, you're back. Let me see what vegetables you bought today?" Nanny Zhang pretended to be calm as she lowered her head to look into the vegetable basket and casually said,
"Do you think it counts as betraying the young mistress if we met Mr. Yan and talked to him without the young mistress knowing?"
Aunt Li was startled again, and her heart panicked.
Could it be that the fact that she had cooked for Mr. Yan yesterday had been discovered?!
She had just cooked a meal! She hadn't done anything else! She had even deliberately ignored Wei Shu's crazy hints yesterday!
Swallowing hard, Aunt Li said, "Why do you say that?"
Nanny Zhang pulled her to the kitchen door, pointed at the gifts all over the living room floor, and whispered:
"Those were sent by Mr. Yan."
Aunt Li felt relieved. She pressed her pounding heart and secretly glared at Nanny Zhang. Nanny Zhang had scared her half to death. Clearing her throat, Aunt Li said,
"Did you meet Mr. Yan?"
Nanny Zhang told Aunt Li what had happened today. Aunt Li said fearfully, "It's lucky that Mr. Yan was there. Otherwise, the two young masters might have been in danger. They're so brave and smart. They even thought of a way to get you away."
"Tell me about it! If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Yan stopped the two kids, sincerely apologized, and sent gifts, I wouldn't have let him bring these things in. Cough, actually, he also prepared gifts for us and Teacher Chen, but I was vigilant and seriously refused."
"Little Sister Li, what do you think about this?"
Aunt Li didn't dare to tell Nanny Zhang that Yan Yincheng actually lived in the building opposite theirs and that she had almost accepted his red envelope again last night. Instead, she counter - questioned, "What do you think, Sister Zhang?"
"I think Mr. Yan is quite sincere?" Nanny Zhang said carefully, and then added, "But whether to forgive Mr. Yan still depends on the young mistress's decision."
Aunt Li immediately understood what Nanny Zhang meant: "You want to speak up for Mr. Yan? But you're worried that this is betraying the young mistress?"
Nanny Zhang said a bit awkwardly, "It's not really speaking up for him. I'm just stating the facts. After all, the young mistress is my employer. I'm absolutely loyal to the young mistress. I definitely haven't betrayed her."
Thinking of the looks in the two young masters' eyes when they looked at Mr. Yan just now, Nanny Zhang felt her heart ache.
Aunt Li nodded: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry. This is definitely not a betrayal!"
While the two servants were whispering to each other, the two little ones in the living room were also having a quiet conversation.
Yuan Xiaoxuan said to Yuan Xiaoxu, "Brother didn't lie to you, did he? Uncle Yin really came to see us!"
Yuan Xiaoxu nodded vigorously: "Brother, you're so amazing. You guessed everything right." But Yuan Xiaoxu still had a doubt, "But brother, why did you shoot Uncle Yin with the water gun and call him a big bad guy just now? Mommy said that Uncle Yin isn't a bad guy."
Yuan Xiaoxuan said, "Xiaoxu is so silly. If we help Mommy beat Uncle, then Mommy will forgive Uncle. If Mommy forgives Uncle, we can call Uncle Daddy!"
Yuan Xiaoxu suddenly understood. So that's how it was! His eyes rolled around, and Xiaoxu smiled: "Brother, Xiaoxu knows what you mean! Xiaoxu will also help Uncle Yin!"
The twins looked at each other and laughed together. Their smiles were as identical as if they had been carved from the same mold.
