In the book, I changed the villain couple to be a daughter slave

The night breeze was blowing gently. Li Mian and Jiang Yufeng were squatting in front of the grass catching fireflies, while the other adults were chatting and laughing around the campfire.

It was rare for Li Xiao to sit with Jiang Sheng to drink and chat. Putting aside their past rivalry in the business world, the two now matched opponents more like old friends who had met too late.

Wen Yan was asking Qi Yue for advice on raising children.

"Haven't you been taking care of Mianmian for five years? Why are you still asking me for advice on raising a child?" Qi Yue found it outrageous.

Wen Yan looked away feeling a little guilty and made an excuse: "Actually, I didn't take care of her much. It was always my aunt who took care of her."

"Is that so? But I think Mianmian is very well behaved and sensible. She will listen to you when I tell her some truths."

Wen Yan looked at her daughter who was having fun with Jiang Yufeng not far away, and she felt very relieved.

Although this sudden appearance of her daughter disrupted some of her original plans.

But overall, she is still very grateful for her daughter's existence.

At least so far, Wen Yan feels that her life has become more fulfilling since Li Mian appeared.

"Mianmian is indeed very sensible, and doesn't cause me much trouble." Wen Yan said, lowering her head. She was curious about how she and Li Xiao in another time and space raised such a lovely daughter.

At this time, Qi Yue sighed slightly.

She looked up at the starry sky and said with some melancholy, "Compared to you, I feel that I am the mother who feels most guilty towards my child."

"Xiaofeng has been with me through thick and thin since he was young. When I worked three jobs a day, I always tied him with a rope to prevent him from getting lost."

"When he was in kindergarten, other children were picked up by their parents early, but he was the only one left at the end. I only had time to pick him up after dark."

"But even so, he never cried or made a fuss. He even brought back empty water bottles collected from school and told me that he could sell them to help support the family."

"When I felt guilty about him, he would even comfort me and say that he was very happy."

Speaking of this, Qi Yue choked up a little.

"I am the most unsuccessful mother."

Wen Yan didn't expect Qi Yue to have suffered so much with her child. She frowned and asked, "But your professional ability in college was not bad. Can't you find a suitable job?"

Qi Yue smiled bitterly: "It's not that I can't find it."

Hearing this, Wen Yan's expression changed slightly: "Is it Jiang Sheng?"

"I don't know. Anyway, during that period, as long as the better companies looked at my profile, they would find various reasons to reject me the next day even though I had passed the interview."

"I can't think of anyone else who has this ability except him."

Wen Yan frowned, and when she turned to look at Jiang Sheng, she felt a little displeased with this man.

"Does he want to force you to go back, or does he have some other purpose?"

Qi Yue shook her head: "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Xiaofeng is growing up day by day, and my job is relatively stable. I just want to live our lives well."

"Indeed, you can live well without him." Wen Yan reached out and held her hand, and continued: "Besides, you can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future."

"It's rare that Mianmian gets along so well with Xiaofeng. I will recognize him as my godson from now on."

Qi Yue smiled and looked at the giggling Li Mian: "Then I will also accept Mian Mian as my goddaughter."

"Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Mian, who was not far away, didn't know yet that she was happy to have a brother when she came out for the picnic.

The night was getting darker and darker. Wen Yan checked the time and called back the two children who were still playing.

"Time for bed, you guys."

Li Mian held a small bottle in his hand, with a few fireflies flashing inside.

She came running back and handed the bottle to Wen Yan like she was presenting a treasure: "Look, Mom, these are the fireflies that Brother Xiaofeng caught for me."

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Wen Yan held her on her lap and said softly, "But Mianmian, little bugs also have their own world. We can't keep them in a bottle just because they are beautiful."

"I know, I just wanted to show them to my mother and then put them away." Li Mian said as he unscrewed the bottle cap.

In an instant, several fireflies flew out together.

The flickering fluorescent light was like a falling star, slowly drifting into the night sky.

"Then let's get ready to wash up and go to bed, okay?"

"Good~"

After Wen Yan and Qi Yue took the children to wash up, they let them go to the tent.

The spacious tent was already covered with soft blankets, and the stuffed doll that Li Mian used to hug when sleeping at night was also brought.

She rolled around with the doll in her arms, then tilted her head to look at Jiang Yufeng who was looking a little uneasy.

"Brother Xiaofeng, why are you sitting there and not coming in?"

Jiang Yufeng squatted outside the tent, holding a blanket in his hands.

Hearing Li Mian's question, he smiled softly and said, "Brother is here to help you block the wind."

Although the body is now eight years old, the soul is that of an adult.

Jiang Yufeng likes Mianmian’s cuteness very much and truly treats her like a younger sister.

But there must still be the necessary distance.

But Li Mian didn't know that Jiang Yufeng in front of him was also reborn. Although he had the body of a five-year-old, he still treated him as a baby in his heart.

So Li Mian crawled over holding his doll and blanket.

"Then I'll block the wind with you."

"???" Jiang Yufeng blinked quickly and said quickly: "No, your clothes got wet when you were playing in the water today. If you are exposed to the wind at night, you will easily get sick."

But Li Mian refused.

She immediately hugged Jiang Yufeng and said, "If Brother Xiaofeng doesn't want to go in, then I won't go in either."

What a joke! In the original text, the kid’s childhood was already miserable enough, she couldn’t let him be even more miserable.

Jiang Yufeng couldn't do anything with her, so he could only compromise and follow her inside.

"Then you sleep inside, and your brother sleeps outside."

He carefully laid out the blanket and placed her stuffed doll between them.

"Okay."

Li Mian was already very sleepy. After lying down and hugging the doll, he was already drowsy.

Jiang Yufeng sat beside her, listening to her breathing gradually becoming steady, then he reached out and pulled up the mosquito net.

He moved a little distance away and looked at the sleeping Li Mian for a while before slowly lying down.

He couldn't help but wonder, why didn't he realize that Li Mian was so good in his previous life?

If she had been discovered earlier, she wouldn't have died in the fire...

Outside the tent, several adults were still chatting.

Jiang Sheng and Li Xiao drank a few bottles of wine. They were usually quiet, but now they were quite talkative.

"You can chase your wife on your own in the future. I can't help you anymore." Li Xiao raised his head and took a sip of wine, saying with some regret.

"Why?" Jiang Sheng was puzzled.

Li Xiao: "I was scolded by my wife for helping you."

Jiang Sheng: "..." Damn it, why does it feel like this person is showing off their affection to him? !

Li Xiao crushed the can he had finished drinking, and continued, "Besides, I haven't figured it out myself, and my wife hasn't really calmed down yet."
