After the duck beer was simmered until its liquid evaporated almost completely, Fu Yunruo took the pot off the stove and plated the meat on the table.

“Mom! Mom!” Wenwen jumped up like a hungry kitten.

Fu Zonghong returned to the car in anger; his face was dark. After Fang Wanping got into the car, he immediately ordered the driver to leave.

Fang Wanping’s expression was also not good, but she still comforted her husband gently: “Old Fu, don’t be angry. Let’s come again tomorrow. As long as we show sincerity, Yunruo will definitely soften her attitude.”

“Ah!”

Having his face pinched for a long time, Wenwen’s small body was full of the aura of dejection. The touch was so light that it wasn’t painful at all, but Si Yue’s fingers were slightly calloused and he was also so persistent with his touch. After a long time, Wenwen’s white and tender cheeks slowly reddened.

Wasn’t Ruoruo’s situation very similar to that of Yingzi’s? They didn’t know if Ruoruo had been abused or not, but this stepmother looked very similar! Moreover, Ruoruo’s father didn’t seem like someone looking to see his daughter, but rather an enemy.

In an instant, everyone became more hostile to Fang Wanping’s group.

After a while, Si Yue said meaningfully: “Speaking of which, I haven’t received my payment yet.”

“!!!” Wenwen quickly turned his head at Si Yue and covered his cheeks vigilantly.

Si Yue raised his eyebrows, “What? Do you want to break the contract?”

The children’s shrill voices quickly reverberated throughout the village, attracting the attention of the adult who was just walking home from the field. Still with hoes in hands, they quickly ran to the children and asked, “Where are the bad guys?!”

“Is it a human trafficker?”

“Ruoruo, come here.” Si Yue waved his hand.

“Me?” Fu Yunruo came over with confusion.

Si Yue smiled, “Sit here.”

Fu Yunruo noticed Yuan Xin’s gaze, “Brother Yuan, what are you looking at?”

Yuan Xin pointed to the vegetable patch: “They did so much damage here. Why do you let them off?”

Fu Yunruo snorted softly, “It’s okay.” As long as they didn’t harm the orchids, they could do as they liked.

Yuan Xin watched as the water overflew from the soil and flowed into the gully. Finally, he couldn’t bear it any longer and interrupted the father and son, “Isn’t the water already enough?”

Wenwen raised his head. Under the cute little straw hat, his bright eyes blinked as he said solemnly, “The sun is so hot, and the vegetables are wilted. They need more water so that they won’t be dried so quickly!”

Uncle Guo’s flower garden was mostly isolated from the rest of the world. He himself did not use the internet and only focused on his flowers all day long. Without anyone telling him what happened to Fu Yunruo during this time period, he was totally left in the dark.

Hearing that Si Yue was here as a bodyguard, Uncle Guo’s first reaction was to ask: “What happened to Ruoruo?” If nothing happened, why did she need a bodyguard?
