"Hahahaha..." Seeing Qingge'er so scared that his saliva was flying out, Dong Yu laughed so hard that he burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, the next moment Qingge'er sneezed loudly, and his face was covered with snot and saliva.

Now it was Qing'er and the others' turn to laugh. An An laughed the most happily, clapping his hands and stamping his feet. He turned around and saw Ming Xin covering her mouth and laughing. He pulled Ming Xin's hands away, put his little face close to hers, and grinned foolishly, showing his little white teeth as big as rice grains.

Yan Muxi also laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. When he had laughed enough, he told Yin Xia, "Put on their little cloaks and go to the yard to have some fun, so that they won't get too sleepy."

"Okay~ Let's go be silly~" An An was so happy that he jumped up and down, and the little bun on his head also jumped up and down, which was so adorable.

Qian Chongguang was afraid that the children would get sick from the cold, so he wanted to object. However, seeing that the little girl was happy, he couldn't bear to throw cold water on her. "It's cold outside, let the children wear warm clothes."

Yan Muxi took the fox fur coat beside him and walked over to put it on Qian Chongguang. "Don't worry, Grandpa. Children can't be raised too delicately. They are like flowers, plants and trees. They need sunshine and rain to grow strong."

"Xixi is right. Children cannot be taken care of too well or raised too delicately." The light in Qian Chongguang's eyes dimmed.

Yan Muxi knew that Grandpa must have thought of Mom again, so she lowered her eyes and pretended not to see it. She couldn't comfort him at this time, and she didn't want to ruin everyone's mood at this moment.

Soon, the little ones were all wrapped in plush cloaks, which made them look even cuter and adorable. Especially An An, whose little feet were hopping like a little bean. Seeing that Yan Muxi hadn't tied the cloak yet, she hurriedly urged him, "Ayang~ Hurry up~"

Kang Kang didn't say much. He ran straight to Yan Muxi, waited for her to tie the straps of her cloak, then quickly took her hand and pulled her out.

The courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion is different from the exquisite courtyards in Luodu where there is a scene every three steps. They are all simple large square courtyards. In the whole main courtyard, there are only two magnolia trees planted under the eaves of the main corridor. Bright red lanterns are hung high under the eaves, and colorful silks hung on the magnolia trees flutter in the wind. It is simple yet lively and festive.

Worried that the young masters couldn't see clearly where they were stepping, Yin Xia ordered the servants to hang a few lanterns on the eaves at the four corners of the courtyard, so that the huge courtyard was illuminated very brightly.

"Hahahaha……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Wang Wang Wang Wang..."

Led by Dong Yu, the young secret guards also joined in the play. The laughter and joy of the children and dogs were endless, and the sounds echoed above the City Lord's Mansion.

There was a little girl, about five or six years old, who always protected An An while playing by herself. There were several times when An An was about to fall, but the little girl caught him in time.

Seeing An An falling down and being caught in time, Yan Muxi smiled and sighed, "Xin Chao is not very old, but he is quite capable."

Xin Chao was the youngest secret guard whose life was saved by Dong Yu. After An An learned to walk, Yin Xia arranged him to be by An An's side.

Kang Kang was also assigned two young secret guards, both of whom were young children and did not need special care. They just served as companions.

But An An is a restless person, and Xin Chao is a very sensible and grateful girl. She is always concerned about An An's safety and takes care of her very carefully and thoughtfully.

Yinxia also sighed, "That's right! Xinchao and Cisui have suffered enough at a young age. Now that they have a good life, they are all very cautious for fear of losing it. They are so well-behaved and sensible that it makes people feel distressed."

"There is no shortage of adults doing housework in the City Lord's Mansion. You should take good care of them on weekdays and don't neglect their studies and calligraphy. With time, they will be able to forget the sorrows of their childhood." Yan Muxi instructed Yin Xia.

Yin Xia smiled, "I know what's going on. I won't let them suffer any injustice. Apart from their status, their lives are no worse than those of the young masters and young ladies of wealthy families."

Maybe because he himself had been caught in the rain, Yan Muxi could empathize with the fear and anxiety of the little secret guards.

If it weren't for her grandfather's patient comfort after she was rescued, she would have been afraid that she would never be able to heal the physical and mental damage she suffered in her lifetime.

Thinking of the little things from her childhood, Yan Muxi turned to look at her grandfather sitting under the eaves, and discovered that the old man was smiling with tears on his face.

With a sigh in her heart, she walked over, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from Grandpa's face, "Grandpa is so happy that he is laughing to tears!"

"I'm happy. Seeing the kids happy is even happier than playing myself. Oh my, little An'an almost fell again!" Qian Chongguang laughed helplessly, "Xixi, you were like this when you were little. You wanted to run and jump before you learned to walk. You jumped up and down all day long and were restless. If it weren't for your fair and tender face, you would be just like a monkey climbing up and down."

Yan Muxi glared at him in dissatisfaction, "Grandpa must have remembered it wrongly. I was never this playful when I was little!"

"Hahahaha... yes, yes, my Xixi is so well-behaved and quiet. Everyone who sees her wants to hug her and kiss her little face." Qian Chongguang couldn't help but sparkle tears in his eyes again as he spoke.

I still remember the first time Maner held her granddaughter in her arms to show him, her proud expression was even prouder than Kong Niao's, and she wanted to show off to everyone how great her daughter was.

Everything in the past seemed to have happened just yesterday. His Maner ran towards him, calling him daddy in a slurred voice, and rode on his shoulders saying that he only loved daddy in his life...

But in the blink of an eye, the daughter who claimed that she only loved him was won over by another man, who was willing to sacrifice his life for him.

It would be fine if the man I chose at the risk of my life was worthy of trust, but I ended up meeting a jerk and hypocrite who is sweet-mouthed but has a vicious heart.

Every time his daughter was threatened, he got angry and thought about giving up. After all, no one should worry about anyone else for their whole life.

But when he thought of his wife's last trust before her death and his daughter's companionship for more than ten years, he couldn't bear to abandon them.

After a lifetime of hard work, he finally lived a stable life, but his good daughter fell into danger again.

He kept telling himself that as a father, he had done enough for his daughter and should not worry about things he could not change.

No matter what situation Qian Manman falls into, it was her own choice and she should bear the consequences alone.

But even if I remind myself hundreds or thousands of times, I still can't stop thinking about it.

Not wanting his granddaughter to see through his thoughts, Qian Chongguang suppressed the bitterness in his heart, pretended to be happy and comfortable, and laughed with his head raised, "Hahahaha... Xixi, don't worry about an old man like me, go play with An'an and the others, Grandpa knows you can't wait any longer!"

Yan Muxi also pretended not to see his thoughts and handed the handkerchief to him, "Then I will go play with the little ones. If Grandpa laughs and cries again, remember to wipe your tears."

Qian Chongguang waved his hands impatiently, "Go away, don't stand here and bother me!"
