Chapter 946: 932, Missing Memory (2) Chapter 946: 932, Missing Memory (2) Jian Qing nodded lightly, and Quan Mingxuan brought over the medical kit, âThe medical kit is here.â
Quan Jingwu opened the medical kit, took out the cotton swab and antiseptic alcohol, and Jian Qing held Nineteen securely, grasping his fair little foot.
âNineteen, be good and donât move, let Daddy apply the medicine for you.â She coaxed softly, and for a moment, Quan Jingwu felt as if he saw her, the one without amnesia.
He glanced at her, his eyes deepening, and dipped the cotton swab in alcohol to begin disinfecting Nineteenâs wound.
âHmmââ
When the antiseptic alcohol touched the wound, Nineteenâs delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, her small rice-grain teeth biting down on her lip, her once warm palms instantly turning cold.
âDonât be afraid, Mommy is here,â Jian Qing said as she looked at the bloody wound and then at Nineteenâs crumpled little face, holding his small hand tightly.
âMommy will blow on it for Nineteen.â
She bent over, her red lips gently blowing on his wound.
Seventeen, curious, watched on the side and suddenly mimicked Jian Qingâs posture; his plump little body lay on Quan Jingwuâs lap, puffing air at Nineteenâs wound, âNineteen, donât be scared.â
The others watched and exchanged smiling glances.
âNineteen, if it hurts, itâs okay to cry,â Quan Mingxuan said with a twinkle in his eye and received a smack on the head from Grandma Quan for it.
Nineteenâs face turned red, and he held back the shiny teardrops swirling in his eyes, determined not to let them fall, âA man, doesnât cry.â
Daddy said that men are not supposed to cry.
âHahaha!â
At this, everyone burst out laughing.
Jian Qing curved her lips, unable to resist kissing Nineteenâs forehead, then she lifted her gaze to Quan Jingwu and saw a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
âDid you teach Nineteen that?â
Quan Jingwuâs thin lips lifted slightly, âWhat do you think?â
Jian Qing chuckled, and the atmosphere between them eased up significantly.
After the medicine was applied, Nineteen perked up again, nestled in Jian Qingâs arms and chattering away with her, calling her mommy which nearly melted her heart.
Quan Jingwu watched Jian Qingâs attention fully focus on the two little ones, his violet eyes darkening, âNineteen, would you like to go over there and play with the toys with Seventeen?â
âDonât want to, want Mommy,â Nineteen declared, clinging to Jian Qingâs arm with determination.
The two little guys were not so easily swayed.
Jian Qing saw Seventeen yawn, his wet eyes brimming with sleepiness, âSeventeen, are you sleepy, hm?â
âThese two little guys got up early this morning, they should be tired by now,â Rhee said.
Quan Jingwu stretched out his strong arm and easily picked up Seventeen, âSeventeen, Daddy will make you some milk to drink before you go to sleep, is that good?â
Seventeenâs eyes flickered with hesitation before turning to look at Jian Qing, âWant Mommy.â
Jian Qingâs disappearance for over three months had robbed the little ones of their sense of security.
Meting the little guyâs damp gaze, Jian Qing blinked then smiled softly, âThen shall Mommy accompany you?â
âYeah.â Seventeenâs delicate little face lit up with a bright smile.
âLetâs go.â
Quan Jingwu got up, holding Seventeen, while Jian Qing followed by his side holding Nineteen, a family of four heading upstairs to their room.
âI wonder when Qingqing will recover her memory.â Grandma Quan retracted her gaze, sighing lightly.
âMom, now that Little Qingqing has returned, regaining her memory is just a matter of time. Donât worry too much. Besides, look, even though sheâs lost her memory, she and Jingwu are still doing fine,â Rhee consoled.
In the bright bedroom, the curtain billowed, sending up wisps of purple flowers.
On the bed, Seventeen and Nineteen held their milk bottles, their little feet occasionally shaking lazily, still managing to charm.
Jian Qing sat on the edge of the bed, watching the two little ones drifting off to sleep, her lips curving into a warm smile.
Quan Jingwu walked over, leaned down, and took the milk bottles from the two little treasuresâ hands; Seventeen and Nineteen turned over and slept soundly.
Jian Qing lay on the bed, her fingertips wandering over the faces of the two little treasures, their tender skin so irresistible; suddenly, she thought of something, and the smile at the corner of her mouth gradually faded.
If the little ones knew that she had actually forgotten them, they would be very sad.
She withdrew her hand and stood up, walking to the window.
Looking out, the flowers in the garden were in full bloom.
Everything here looked so familiar, yet why couldnât she remember anything about the people, the eventsâher mind was a blank.
She closed her eyes, trying hard to recall the missing memories.
âHissââ
A sharp pain hit her, and she covered her head, gradually crouching down.
âGood treasure.â
Quan Jingwu came out of the bathroom and, seeing this scene, nearly lost his soul with fright.
He hurried over and crouched down in front of her.
âWhatâs wrong, are you feeling unwell, huh?â
âHeadache,â she said hoarsely.
Quan Jingwuâs thin lips were tightly pursed as he picked her up in his arms.
Jian Qing leaned against his chest, her complexion somewhat pale.
Quan Jingwu held her and sat on the sofa, his large hand around her waist, âIf you canât remember, then donât think about it, donât force yourself.â
Although he really wanted her to remember everything, what he least wanted was to see her in distress and pain.
Jian Qing looked up from his embrace, âDonât you want me to quickly remember everything?â
Quan Jingwuâs gaze dropped lightly, and his thin lips pressed against her pretty eyes, âAs long as you stay by my side, nothing else matters.â
âBut I canât remember anything about you, and about Seventeen and Nineteenâall of it. Seventeen and Nineteen cling to me; I know itâs because they feel insecure after I disappeared for more than three monthsâIâm not a competent mommy,â she said softly, lowering her head.
âI actually forgot all about them.â And you, who love me so much.
A dark shade flashed in Quan Jingwuâs eyes, and he bowed his head and kissed her lips; in an instant, an electric current coursed chaotically through Jian Qingâs body.
She widened her eyes, stunned in place.
Lost in the tender and lingering kiss, Jian Qing was utterly befuddled, her head heavy and dizzy, her eyes filled with the manâs brilliant purple pupils.
âMy dear treasure is the most competent mommy in the world, and the best wife,â he said with a rough voice, pressing his forehead against hers.
In his eyes, there was no one better than her.
Jian Qingâs face turned a beet red, scorching hot.
âDear treasure, your face is red,â he said with a mischievous tone.
Jian Qingâs cheeks flushed with rouge, and she quickly jumped out of his embrace, âItâs too hot, Iâm just overheated.â
Quan Jingwu stood up and took her hand, âCome on, Iâll take you for a walk around the old mansion.â
âI can walk by myself.â Remembering his recent teasing, Jian Qing tried to wriggle her hand free with a trick, but in the next second, he grabbed it again.
After repeating this several times, Jian Qing gave up and let him lead her.
Under the shade of the trees, the two strolled leisurely.
Suddenly, Jian Qing stopped, and Quan Jingwu looked sideways at her, âWhatâs wrong?â
âThatâŠâ
Jian Qing looked at the swing not far away, her eyes shining brightly.
