Chapter 1494: I Am Brother Xiao's Bride

“Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao.” Before Huo Chengxiao even walked through the door, Zhengzheng was already rushing towards him.

“Slow down.” Huo Chengxiao caught her, “Why are you running so fast?”

“Brother Xiao, we haven’t seen each other for over ten days. I was at my grandpa’s place. Did you miss me?” Zhengzheng held onto Huo Chengxiao’s hand, her emerald green eyes sparkling, “I missed you a lot.”

“Don’t say such things, you’re a girl, I’m a boy. There’s a difference between boys and girls, you know?” Huo Chengxiao’s ears turned red, “You’re a girl, you should be more reserved.”

Zhengzheng couldn’t understand, “What does reserved mean?”

“Anyway, just don’t say those things.” Huo Chengxiao said, embarrassed and annoyed.

“But I do miss you! I miss Aunt Zhilia and Little Crystal too. Why can’t I say it?” In Qin Jiayi’s perspective as a child, liking and missing people should be expressed directly.

This is greatly influenced by her mother.

Amanda, as an American, has very open thoughts.

“Anyway, don’t say things like that casually in the future.” Huo Chengxiao stated seriously again, “You’ll understand when you grow up; if you say that, people might misunderstand.”

Zhengzheng’s delicate features scrunched together, “Why would they misunderstand? Missing someone is just missing them, why can’t I say it?”

“Forget it, you’re too young, you don’t understand.” Huo Chengxiao momentarily forgot that he was just two years older than Zhengzheng.

Zhengzheng didn’t want to dwell on it.

Zhengzheng’s nickname was originally supposed to be Little Kite, but for an American like Amanda, pronouncing those three characters together was a bit challenging, so she found repeating a character much easier.

“Alright, alright, let’s not fuss over these things.” Zhengzheng would say this whenever she couldn’t understand something, or didn’t like what she heard.

Anyway, she wouldn’t understand even if it was explained, might as well not say it.

Of course, her curiosity was still very high.

Huo Chengxiao: “…”

Clearly, she was the one asking, yet now she says this.

“Brother Xiao, I brought gifts for you and Little Crystal!” Zhengzheng ran back a little, and saw the family driver coming up with a suitcase.

“Thank you!” Although he didn’t know what it was, it was appropriate to say thank you.

“You’re welcome! Mom said we’re family.” Zhengzheng didn’t understand the depth of this, simply assuming everyone was relatives.

Just like Lu Xingzhi and Huo Jincheng, they were like her mom and dad too.

This way of understanding wasn’t wrong either.

—

When Huo Chengxiao went to visit Lu Tingshen’s house, he brought Zhengzheng and Little Crystal.

Little Crystal was planned for that day, while Zhengzheng insisted on coming along.

Lu Tingshen welcomed them, naturally.

More than him, his father was the one who welcomed these kids.

As he got older, he naturally enjoyed the company of lively little ones.

It seemed to make him feel much younger.

“Little brother, my name is Qin Jiayi. My nickname is Zhengzheng. Even though I’m as pretty as a flower, you better not like me! When I grow up, I’m going to marry Brother Xiao, so I won’t like you.”

Zhengzheng seriously introduced herself.

Lu Tingshen was amused by her, but outwardly he nodded seriously, “Alright, I won’t like you.”

Little Amber was different, his face turned red.

“Zhengzheng, why are you talking nonsense again?”
