Lu Yang felt Qing Qing’s anxiety and concern for him, and his heart couldn’t help but feel a sweet warmth.
“Okay.” Lu Yang agreed.
Ouyang Jian watched from the side, feeling a pang of unease. He was helping him out, Lu Yang wasn’t losing anything, was he? Especially…
“Here you go.” Ouyang Jian took out a bottle and handed it to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang’s eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out and took the bottle.
What is this? Lu Wanqing was curious and looked at the bottle.
Ouyang Jian said gratefully, “Thank you for Sang Sang’s matter.”
“You’re welcome.” Lu Yang said with a smile, waving the bottle in his hand.
Ouyang Jian: “…” He felt a twinge of pain.
Ouyang Jian quickly left. He didn’t want to stay any longer, and he couldn’t. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be unable to resist and snatch back the Mermaid’s Tears.
“Third Brother, what is this?” After Ouyang Jian left, Lu Wanqing looked at what her third brother was holding and asked curiously.
“Mermaid’s Tears.” Lu Yang said.
Lu Wanqing frowned. “Mermaid’s… tears?”
“Yes.” Lu Yang nodded.
“Is it real?” Lu Wanqing was shocked. Was this mermaid the kind she imagined? Was the world this fantastical?
“It’s real.” Lu Yang nodded.
Lu Yang took the bottle, opened it, and drank it in one gulp.
“Mermaid’s Tears have a very good healing effect on mental power. They are extremely rare and difficult to find,” Lu Yang said.
Lu Wanqing: “…”
“I actually came here to ask Ouyang Jian for this bottle of Mermaid’s Tears, but I couldn’t find an excuse before. I didn’t expect him to take the initiative to ask for my help,” Lu Yang said with a smile. He looked at Qing Qing, feeling very happy.
Lu Wanqing only realized what was happening afterwards and said, “So him asking you for help… actually suited your wishes perfectly?”
“Yes.” Lu Yang nodded.
Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. She had been really worried about her third brother before.
Lu Yang reached out and ruffled her hair, then said seriously, “Qing Qing, Third Brother will accompany you for the rest of your life. In this life, we’ll grow old together.”
Lu Wanqing quickly nodded, “Yes, yes.”
“How are Lin Sang and her daughter?” Lu Yang asked next.
Lu Wanqing quickly replied, “They’re better now and have returned to the main city.”
“Right, Third Brother, the winter break is almost over. Are we going back to the empire? Harvey needs to go back to school,” Lu Wanqing added quickly.
Lu Yang nodded and agreed, “Okay.”
As Lu Wanqing was talking with Lu Yang, Xiao Harvey’s head suddenly poked through the gap in the door. Following Xiao Harvey’s head was another small head, Ya Ya.
Lu Yang saw the two, one big and one small, and couldn’t help but stare at them.
Lu Wanqing noticed the strange look in her third brother’s eyes and turned to look, and then she saw Harvey and Ya Ya.
“Mommy!” Harvey saw his mother looking at him and happily pushed the door open and ran in.
As Harvey entered, he quietly observed his uncle. After looking around, he found that his uncle’s face was no longer pale, but rosy and looked much better. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease.
“Uncle, are you still feeling uncomfortable?” Xiao Harvey looked at Lu Yang and asked with concern.
Lu Yang looked at Harvey and shook his head, “I’m not uncomfortable.”
Xiao Harvey immediately became happy and said joyfully, “That’s great! Uncle, we were all very worried about you!”
Lu Yang looked at Harvey and, for the first time, smiled at an outsider. He nodded, “Mm.”
Lu Wanqing looked at Little Ya Ya, who was following Xiao Harvey. The little girl was only three years old, soft and sweet, and truly adorable.
“Ya Ya, Auntie want a hug, okay?” Lu Wanqing extended her hand towards the little one.
Ya Ya fearfully hid behind Harvey, her small hands tightly clutching his sleeve.
Xiao Harvey looked at Ya Ya and was overjoyed. “Mommy, I asked Uncle Ouyang and Aunt Sang Sang. Uncle Ouyang said that as long as you and Uncle agree, you can let Sister Ya Ya recognize me as her godbrother.”
Lu Wanqing: “…”
“Mommy, if you and Uncle have no objections, then Ya Ya will be my sister from now on, right?” Xiao Harvey looked at Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang with sparkling eyes, asking expectantly.
Lu Wanqing’s mouth twitched slightly, and she asked, “Have you asked your father about this?”
Xiao Harvey quickly nodded, “Yes, yes. Dad said he has no objections and asked me to ask for your opinion.”
What else could Lu Wanqing say?
She was speechless.
The socially adept cub handled everything himself, without needing the adults to intervene, and managed to get all the parents to agree!
“Ya Ya, do you want to recognize Harvey as your brother?” Lu Wanqing thought for a moment, then cautiously asked Xiao Harvey.
The world was vast, but the child’s wishes were paramount. Although Ya Ya was only three years old, three-year-olds could already think for themselves. Whether she wanted to recognize Harvey as her brother was not up to the adults to decide; Ya Ya had to agree.
“Ya Ya, say you are willing!” Xiao Harvey coached Ya Ya.
Ya Ya looked up at Harvey, confused.
Xiao Harvey patiently coached Ya Ya, “Ya Ya, say, you are willing.”
“Ya Ya, say, you… are willing.” Little Ya Ya repeated Xiao Harvey’s words word by word, a little clumsily.
Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood. Ya Ya had grown up with her mother, away from the city. Given Lin Sang’s situation back then, she probably hadn’t been able to teach her child to speak properly.
What a pity for this child.
“Does Ya Ya like Harvey?” Lu Wanqing thought and asked Ya Ya cautiously.
Ya Ya looked at Lu Wanqing and shyly hid behind Harvey.
Xiao Harvey turned, took Little Ya Ya’s hand, and coached her word by word, seriously, “Like!”
“Like!” Little Ya Ya instinctively repeated after her brother.
Lu Wanqing: “…”
“Mommy, Ya Ya likes me, she will definitely be willing to be my sister!” Xiao Harvey said happily to his mother.
Lu Wanqing was helpless. Ya Ya was too naive to express her feelings yet, but it seemed like Ya Ya liked Harvey, right?
“Okay, if everyone has no objections, then we will recognize Ya Ya as our god-sister,” Lu Wanqing said with a smile.
“Really?” Xiao Harvey immediately jumped up excitedly, overjoyed.
“Yes.” Lu Wanqing said with a chuckle, nodding.
Xiao Harvey turned, scooped up Little Ya Ya, and spun her around happily. “Ya Ya, Mom agreed! You are my sister now, I have a sister, hahahaha!”
Little Ya Ya, being spun around by her brother, thought he was playing with her and quickly started laughing happily. The child’s innocent laughter was especially beautiful and pleasant to hear.
Lin Sang stood at the door and saw Lu Wanqing. She cautiously walked in.
Lu Wanqing also looked at Lin Sang and smiled kindly.
“Miss Lu, Your… Your Majesty the Emperor, thank you. Thank you for saving me and Ya Ya!” Sang Sang walked over and said gratefully, her voice trembling slightly.
Ouyang Jian also entered, following closely behind Lin Sang.
Lin Sang walked up to Lu Yang and knelt down to pay her respects.
Lu Wanqing was startled and instinctively wanted to step forward to help her up.
Lu Yang said, “Get up, there’s no need to be so formal.”
Lin Sang was very grateful and quickly said again, “Thank you, Your Majesty.” Her trembling voice revealed her nervousness, excitement, gratitude, and a hint of fear. 138 Reading Net
Ouyang Jian also reached out and carefully helped Lin Sang up.
