"The fire seems small, I’ll give it a blow."

Ning Meng saw that it was okay and nodded, "Be careful! Don’t blow too hard, otherwise..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Qingming lay on the ground and gave a big puff of air into the stove!

After a couple of seconds, "Hahaha..."

Ning Meng clutched her stomach, watching Lu Qingming.

Because he blew too hard, the ashes flew up, covering his entire face! His originally handsome face was now unrecognizable, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed, looking particularly comical.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Qingming was at a loss.

"Oh dear." Ning Meng couldn’t stop laughing and went to get a mirror, "Wait here!"

Thump, thump, thump, Ning Meng returned with a mirror and showed it to Lu Qingming.

Lu Qingming looked at the boy in the mirror, looking like a coal ball—it was really him?

After a moment of silence, Lu Qingming clutched his belly, "Hahaha..."

"Haha..."

The two children burst into laughter together.

Footsteps approached...

"Qingming!" Yu Sangwan stood at the door, her feet covered in mud. Seeing her son’s face full of ash, her heart wrenched as she stumbled over.

"Eldest Young Madam! Be careful!"

"Qingming!" Yu Sangwan didn’t care, rushing over and pulling Lu Qingming into her arms, looking him up and down carefully to see if her treasure was missing anything or had gotten hurt.

"What happened to your face? Why is it so black?"

Ning Meng was already in shock, timidly stepping aside, and was picked up by the Ning doctor who followed them in.

Lu Qingming froze for a moment, then burst into tears, "Mom!"

"Qingming..." Yu Sangwan lifted her hand, wiping her son’s face, "Tell Mama, what happened to your face? What hardships did you suffer to be like this?"

"Auntie..." Ning Meng couldn’t help but speak.

"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan then looked at the little girl beside her and smiled, "Little one, what do you want to tell auntie?"

"Hmm." Ning Meng, with some shyness, said, "It’s just ashes on Qingming’s face! A wash will get rid of it, we were just roasting sweet potatoes, it’s okay."

Yu Sangwan paused, nodding, "Really? Then auntie didn’t understand. Qingming, is that right?"

"Yeah!" Lu Qingming cried and nodded.

Being outside for so long, now that he saw his mother, Lu Qingming completely reverted to his 6-year-old self, leaning on his mother, "Mom! Mantou suffered! Those bad people bullied Mantou! Mantou thought of you every night! Wuwu!"

Yu Sangwan felt heartbroken, "There, there! Mama is here, Mama is here to take Mantou home!"

"Mmhmm!"

Yu Sangwan took Lu Qingming’s hand and turned to the Ning doctor, "Could we borrow a place to wash his face?"

"Of course." The Ning doctor pointed to the bathroom, "Over there, you can bathe."

"Thank you."

As night fell, the Ning doctor prepared a room for Yu Sangwan and them.

That night, Yu Sangwan naturally stayed with Lu Qingming.

"Mama." Lu Qingming, after a bath, snuggled into his mother’s arms, "Mmm... Mama’s scent is so nice."

Yu Sangwan laughed, "Tsk, what a silly child." You stayed inside me for ten months, of course, you think Mama’s scent is the nicest.

She couldn’t help but reflect that although her son seemed mature, he was still her little baby in front of her!

Chapter 585: Why Are You So Unruly?

Lu Qingming snuggled closer to his mother, "Mama, tell Mantou a bedtime story."

Yu Sangwan ruffled her son’s hair, "Mr. Lu, you’re already so big, and you still want coddling?"

"Hmm..." Lu Qingming felt a bit embarrassed, his small hand touching his mother’s belly, "Mama, you still need to coax little sister, right? You coax little sister, and I’ll listen."

Unwilling to expose her son’s little thoughts, Yu Sangwan nodded and started telling him a story.

Outside the window, Ning Meng lay awake, listening...

Before, she only heard Lu Qingming talk... His world seemed very different from hers.

In her imagination, Lu Qingming was like a young master from a rich family.

But now, his mother came. She truly was a completely different person from them, such a young and beautiful Auntie, truly Qingming’s mother! She looked particularly elegant and noble... yet had an unreachable aura.

Ning Meng felt a great sense of loss in her heart.

...

When dawn broke, Ning Meng woke up early while Lu Qingming was still asleep.

Ning Meng got up to help her mother prepare breakfast, seeing Yu Sangwan talking to her father.

Yu Sangwan smiled and nodded at Dr. Ning, "Dr. Ning, we truly thank you for all this time... Last night, Qingming already told me everything. Without you, it’s unimaginable what might have happened to him..."

Dr. Ning maintained a gentle smile, "You’re too kind, too kind."

Yu Sangwan glanced back, "Yueze."

"Yes." Tang Yueze nodded, took out a box, and placed it on the table.

"This." Yu Sangwan placed her hand on it, smiling slightly, "Before coming here, I knew this was Ailao Mountain, things must be quite inconvenient... So, I had them prepare cash. Just a little bit, as a token of gratitude."

"Huh?"

Dr. Ning was shocked, "How much is in there?"

Such a big box!

Yu Sangwan smiled gently, "Five million, please, you must accept it."

"What?" Dr. Ning was so startled he stood up, shaking his hands, "No, no, no! I haven’t spent so much! This is too much, how could I take it?!"

Five million! It’s money he could never earn in a lifetime!

"Dr. Ning." Yu Sangwan slightly furrowed her elegant eyebrows, "This amount may be a lot for you... but, if I may say, to me, it’s really nothing. I bring it as a token of gratitude, the kindness you showed Qingming is something I will remember for a lifetime, beyond what money can measure."

"This..." Dr. Ning hesitated, "It’s still too much, I just need to redeem my clinic..."

Yu Sangwan nodded, "Rest assured, I already had it taken care of, the property will fully transfer to your name in a few days, including the house you currently live in."

"Oh!" Dr. Ning was even more astonished, "How can this be...? I didn’t save your child for this..."

"I know." Yu Sangwan smiled gratefully, "You are a good person, full of kindness... Qingming was lucky to meet you, it’s his blessing. People should know gratitude, it’s also a lesson I must teach Qingming."

As they were speaking, Lu Qingming rubbed his eyes and came out.

Standing alongside Ning Meng, with a hoarse voice, he said, "Mama."

"Qingming." Yu Sangwan turned towards her son, beckoning him, "Come over."

"Mm." Lu Qingming was still groggy, not fully awake.

Yu Sangwan took her son’s hand, "Qingming, remember what Mama said, you must never forget Dr. Ning’s kindness. Although our family is doing well, Dr. Ning’s family is not. When he saved you, he knew nothing about our family’s status, he wasn’t after anything. You must remember this kindness, okay?"

Lu Qingming opened his eyes, the sleepiness fading, as he looked at Dr. Ning, "Uncle, please accept it! Qingming will never forget you..."

As he spoke, he glanced towards the door.

Ning Meng stood there, shy and bashful.

Lu Qingming continued, "And also, Ning Meng sister."

"Well." Dr. Ning couldn’t refuse, so he accepted it, though he couldn’t quite process it for a long time.

His daughter, driven by kindness, had ventured out at night to save a child... who turned out to be from such a wealthy background!

...

With everything settled, Yu Sangwan and her family were about to leave.

Dr. Ning and his wife accompanied them to the door, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.

The things they received were far beyond what they’d done.

Yu Sangwan, however, was indifferent, continuously thanking them, "If you ever leave Ailao Mountain, please come visit me. We are in Holy City, the Fu Family."

She took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Dr. Ning.
