Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

In the evening, the waiter in the shop filled the whole table with delicious food with a smile, and his mouth was plausible.

"There is a lot of excitement on the long street tonight. The pawns and vendors set up stalls to buy some things. Kabuki and dancers drive floats to welcome the spring. The families of the court officials above will come out to join in the fun. The captain and the Ma'am can't miss it."

After all, the shop clerk caught a glimpse of a few familiar faces around the table, took two plates of pastries from the clerk in front of the door as if by magic, and smiled, "Thank you for your care, miss and master, these two plates of pastries should be Thank you gift from Shiqu Tower, please use it slowly, just call if you need something!"

The waiter's voice was very clear, and the children all catered to him.

As soon as the door was closed, there were only three adults and four children left in the private room.

At this time, Xia Bai'an only belatedly understood the purpose of Liu Pipa's tricking them to come here - it was originally for celebrating the Spring Festival tonight, and even more so that he could spend some time with the children.

She tilted her head to look out the window.

The eyes are full of red clouds, and I can hear the lively shouts of the street vendors. Several second-floor downstairs not far away have put out lanterns of various colors, as if to compete with the sunset.

Liu Pipa has already brought the children down the chopsticks, feasting on them.

Mo Che only took one bite, and saw Xia Bai'an looking out of the window with a gentle smile.

The wind outside the window swept into the private room, but it only lifted a strand of hair from Xia Bai'an's ear, swaying like duckweed, but the smile in her eyes was the purest and sincere in the past few months.

He followed Xia Bai'an's gaze and looked out the window.

That piece of sunset, those small sounds, nothing else.

Xia Bai'an seemed to have noticed Mo Che's gaze beside him, and turned his head to look in a strange way.

"Do you like this kind of sunset too?"

"Do not."

Mo Che answered frankly.

He didn't have any love for such a scenery, let alone appreciate it.

Just because these scenes are fleeting and meaningless.

What he saw was only the world in Xia Bai'an's eyes.

Xia Bai'an was not surprised when he heard his answer.

"How do you know that the scenery outside is so beautiful? What you see is just a trick of arranging troops."

As she spoke, she moved her chopsticks to eat and eat.

Mo Che closed his eyes, but did not answer.

Liu Pipa felt that the atmosphere between these two people was a little stiff, as if they couldn't discuss anything other than business.

Sure enough, something went wrong.

Thinking so, Liu Pipa urged the children to take Xia Bai'an away to play after everyone had had their fill, while she herself fell far behind and boldly walked side by side with Mo Che.

Mo Che asked, "What's the matter?"

"Although Xia Bai'an can do many things, she is also much younger than you. She is only nineteen years old. It is natural for her to be confused and to be happy. You always act so mysterious and impermanent. Never feel at ease."

As Liu Pipa spoke, she brushed past Mo Che.

Mo Che's footsteps paused for a moment, and he still followed Liu Pipa to Xia Bai'an and the children. His eyes were all glued to Xia Bai'an's body, and he did not look at other things in the market at all.

And Xia Bai'an didn't know anything about it.

Adhering to the mentality of what comes, she will be at ease, rather than speculating about what Mo Che is doing, she should enjoy the present moment and have fun with the children.

The children's hands were filled with all kinds of lanterns and small objects, and both hands were full.

They followed Xia Bai'an among the crowd.

One after another, one with one, happily shuttled through the streets and alleys.

Liu Pipa didn't like the performances of these kabukis, as if recalling the bad days before, she only lowered her eyes slightly and followed behind them.

Mo Che stared at Xia Bai'an alone.

Xia Bai'an also carried a small rabbit lantern in his hand, stepped on the steps of the stone bridge and waved his hand towards the children: "Come quickly——"

"Mother, slow down! Miaomiao will not be able to keep up!" Mo Yu helplessly held the youngest Lin Miaomiao, not daring to let go at all, for fear of losing her in the crowd.

Mo Qian is like a fish in water among the crowd, but he has to worry about his younger sister Mo Xue who can't do martial arts.

Mo Xue looked up at Xia Bai'an on the steps, feeling unhappy.

"It's not fair! Mother is already an adult, she went out to take several steps against us, and she ran to the front, mother should walk behind with father!"

Xia Bai'an smiled mischievously: "There are so many fair things in the world. It's clear that you children are not as skilled as others. It's no wonder that you became an adult first. I'm not happy to find a reason."

"There's no mother who won't let the child go." Lin Miaomiao was shocked by Xia Bai'an's speech.

"Hmph, isn't there one in front of you?"

Xia Bai'an crossed her hips and was about to take two steps forward when she saw a stumbling figure rushing towards him from the other side of the stone bridge. She dodged to dodge, followed the figure and rolled down the steps with a grunt.

Everyone on both sides exclaimed.

Xia Bai'an took a closer look, and saw that the man lying on the ground was holding a wine cup in his mouth, his face was flushed red from drinking too much, and he was looking at her vaguely.

"Hey, fairy..."

"..."

For the first time, Xia Bai'an felt that the word "fairy" had some derogatory meaning.

The drunk rushed over just now, didn't he really regard her as a fairy?

She was a little puzzled, she lifted her skirt and walked down the steps to see if this man was okay, but she saw that the drunk suddenly threw down the wine cup in his hand, and rushed towards Xia Bai'an with obscene eyes.

"Fairy...Sister Fairy hehe...God really favored me, find me a wife..."

When Xia Bai'an heard this, he was so startled that he quickly took two steps back.

The drunk man was unwilling to let go, and wanted to come and grab her dress, and the crowd on both sides laughed.

Mo Qian's face immediately changed, and just as he was about to make a move, Mo Che's feet had already kicked the person in front of him flying away. A drunk man barely had time to react, so he fell to the ground and rolled along the embankment beside the stone bridge Go down and make a splash.

"Help... help—"

The drunk was half sober in an instant, and the onlookers dared not continue booing, but took off their coats and dived into the water to save him.

In the chaos, Mo Che calmly put his arms around Xia Bai'an's shoulders and walked out of the crowd, while ordering Liu Pipa: "Leave the children to you."

"Ah... well! I know!"

Liu Pipa hurriedly took the children out of here temporarily, and said, "Your father will definitely seize the opportunity, so let's stop making trouble."

The children all nodded, only Mo Xue looked back suspiciously.

"Daddy, will he really seize the opportunity?"

the other side.

Xia Bai'an was inexplicably brought to the alley on the other side of the stone bridge by Mo Che, and he could vaguely hear the drunken man's scolding after being rescued, he was puzzled: "What are you bringing me here alone?"

"If you didn't leave at that time, do you want them to know that it was the captain of the Imperial Army who kicked him into the water?" Mo Che asked coldly.

Xia Bai'an was speechless - it seemed that he should hide.
