Qin Suling's lips curved into a gentle smile, and she slightly opened her red lips, and the sound of her response was like the softest spring breeze, blowing across her heart.

Soon, Nanny Wu walked in slowly, holding a tray steadily in her hands, as if carrying all the warmth and delicacy in the world.

As she got closer, an indescribable fragrance quietly spread. It was the purest temptation of food, instantly lighting up Qin Suling's eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"It is so fragrant that one is intoxicated by its aroma even before tasting it."

Qin Suling exclaimed softly, her tone full of surprise and anticipation.

Wherever she went on this journey, she carried an obsession in her heart, vowing to experience and make up for all the taste feasts that she had never experienced in her previous life.

Nanny Wu knew the young lady's character very well, so while Qin Suling was taking a nap, she quietly instructed the chef downstairs to cook several authentic Shunde delicacies with ingenuity, just to get the young lady's smile and warmth as before.

Seeing Qin Suling put down the yellowed book in her hand, smiling like a flower and sitting up, Nanny Wu's movements became more gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

She gently placed the tray on the table, then carefully took out a soft pillow and gently placed it behind Qin Suling's waist. Her thoughtful care warmed people's hearts.

"This thing, as white as jade, is called Hibiscus Cake. It melts in your mouth and is delicate and smooth. And that cake is the rose cake that is unique to Weiquanlou. It is sweet but not greasy, and soft and delicious." Aunt Wu was busy introducing it, her words full of pride and joy.

"It will take some time for the main meal to be served, so you may as well try these snacks first to satisfy your appetite. When night falls, I will prepare a table of sumptuous local specialties for you, which I guarantee you will feast on."

Nanny Wu's words were like a spring breeze, gentle and full of expectation.

Hearing this, Qin Suling's smile became even brighter. She looked at Nanny Wu with gratitude and said softly, "Nanny, you treat me so thoughtfully. How can I deserve such kindness?" After that, she gently picked up the bowl of hibiscus cake dotted with red beans and savored it carefully. Every bite was full of happiness and satisfaction.

The afternoon sun shines through the window lattice and fills the entire house. The golden light and Qin Suling's face complement each other, as if the whole world is eclipsed by it.

Outside the window, the market is bustling with vendors carrying all kinds of goods and hawking their wares along the street, creating a very lively atmosphere; while inside the room, there is warmth and tranquility, forming a sharp contrast.

Qi Qiyuan stood aside, watching the scene quietly, with an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

He couldn't bear to break the beauty of this tranquility, so he just watched silently, praying secretly in his heart that this moment would last forever.

Nanny Wu looked at Qin Suling, her eyes full of love and care, but her expression gradually became solemn.

Thinking of the other important responsibility she was shouldering, her eyes could not help but be filled with complexity and worry.

Although she didn't say a word, Qin Suling could read her thoughts from her subtle changes.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and all the noise and chaos were far away from them.

A warm feeling surged in Qin Suling's heart. She was well aware of Nanny Wu's painstaking efforts and the difficulties she faced, and she cherished this hard-earned family affection and care even more.

Thinking back to his past life, Qin Suling couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

At that time, there was still a gap between her and Nanny Wu, and they were alienated due to misunderstanding.

But now, all misunderstandings have disappeared, and the relationship between them has become closer and deeper.

All these changes come from the baptism of time and the touch of the soul.

As time goes by, everything seems to be falling into place.

The emotional bond between Qin Suling and Nanny Wu becomes stronger.

And the figure of Nanny Wu quietly carried a hint of unknown heaviness.

It was as if a layer of light haze was laid in advance for a heavy painting that was about to be unveiled.

She turned around, her eyes full of complexity, and she slightly opened her red lips, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, as she told Qin Suling in detail the unknown recent developments in the mansion. Among them, she naturally and inevitably mentioned Qin Suyu who had suddenly appeared like a torrential rain.

Hearing this, Qin Suling's heart was suddenly filled with turmoil, as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and eventually turning into an unbearable pressure, causing her to stagger a few steps involuntarily at that moment. Her eyes went dark and she fell down softly, falling into a chaotic darkness.

When she woke up again, everything around her was still the same, but her mood was desolate and gloomy as if water could drip out.

Along the way, she was as helpless as a duckweed, longing for even a little warmth and support.

The seemingly caring nanny was actually just a chess piece deployed by Qin Suyu. Behind every word of concern, there was a sharp thorn, which intentionally or unintentionally touched the softest and most vulnerable part of her heart.

However, Nanny Wu, who was truly kind to her, was kept at a distance because of her strictness and solemnity, making it difficult for her to cross the invisible gap and seek spiritual comfort.

Qin Suling's heart was like a dead branch that was repeatedly blown by the cold winter wind, dry and bitter.

She comforted herself countless times, thinking that her parents' actions were due to excessive longing for her, but she never expected that there was such deep calculation and indifference behind it.

At first, she might be able to convince herself with such a reason, but as time passed, the true feelings that had been precipitated by the years could not withstand the sudden impact of the truth.

Thinking back to those days, every word of the Qin family was like a sharp blade, cutting her heart again and again, leaving her in excruciating pain.

However, when these memories resurfaced in his mind, Qin Suling found that his heart was as calm as an ancient well, without any waves.

She just felt that all this was too absurd and too ironic, as if it was mocking her last bit of fantasy about family affection.

Blood ties, which should be the strongest bond in the world, can become fragile and even be replaced under the erosion of time.

And those parents who should have loved their children wholeheartedly could easily ignore their own flesh and blood who had been missing for ten years because of a little guilt and longing, and treat a substitute as a treasure.

Is this what they call family love?

Qin Suling's heart was filled with confusion and anger, but more of it was a deep sadness and helplessness.

She gently put down the white porcelain bowl in her hand. The exquisite vessel made a crisp sound on the table, as if sighing for her experience.

Qin Suling turned around, looked at Madam Wu with gentle but firm eyes, and asked softly, "Madam, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

This question was not only an inquiry to Nanny Wu, but also an exploration of the unfulfilled obsession deep in his heart.

When Nanny Wu saw this, she felt mixed emotions. She had never expected Qin Suling to be so proactive.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally made up her mind and slowly told the secrets that had been suppressed for a long time: "Miss, during the days when you were away, some changes did happen in your house..."

Although her voice was soft, it was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing waves in Qin Suling's heart.

After listening to Nanny Wu's narration, Qin Suling leaned back on the soft pillow with a faint smile on her face, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

She asked softly, "What happened?"
