Chapter 836 - 743: Ignored_2

When going out, none of the Mei Family noticed.

"Who is it, so late? Go and have a look," Liang Qian, half-asleep, heard someone knocking on the door and nudged Mei Shuqing beside her.

Mei Shuqing groggily opened his eyes, turned to look at his wife, and helplessly went out to open the door.

When he saw it was Han Yi and his group, he immediately perked up and quickly let them in.

"What happened? Running out in the middle of the night, causing trouble again?" Mei Shuqing thought it was the eldest family causing a ruckus again.

"No, godfather, it’s just that there are too many mosquitoes in our room. I can’t use mosquito coils, and there wasn’t a mosquito net there. Little Star has been bitten so much she can’t sleep, so we had to come here."

"They were too careless. There’s some mosquito repellent in the living room’s tea table. Quickly apply it to the child. I’ll go wake your godmother."

"No need, godfather, we can handle it ourselves. Don’t disturb godmother, you should go back to sleep."

"It’s okay," Mei Shuqing said, and before he could go to wake her, Liang Qian had already gotten up.

"Why did you come over?"

Mei Shuqing hurriedly explained to his wife, asking her to help arrange the bedding for the child.

"I cleaned your room earlier, just waiting for you to come over. There’s a mosquito net inside. Look how sleepy the child is," Liang Qian said, feeling sorry for their bedraggled state while leading them to the room.

"Godmother, don’t worry, just go back to sleep, we can handle it ourselves."

"Alright, it’s late tonight, just sleep well."

"Hmm."

Fortunately, godmother had prepared the room in advance, otherwise, who knows how long they’d be struggling.

In this era, having a mosquito net during summer makes you fearless anywhere.

Lin Wan applied some mosquito repellent to Little Star, and soon, she fell asleep. Han Yi put down the mosquito net, caught some mosquitoes, and then the two fell asleep soundly.

They slept until daylight. However, the couple didn’t dare sleep in. In the morning, they quickly said goodbye to godmother and took Little Star back to the old house.

"It’s almost mealtime. I’ve been calling you downstairs for a while, where did you go?" The couple had just returned with the child when they encountered Mei Shuping.

Han Yi quickly replied calmly, "We’re just not used to it, so we woke up early and took them out for a walk."

"Alright, get ready for breakfast," Mei Shuping, not suspecting anything, said while taking Little Star from Han Yi’s arms, letting them go upstairs to freshen up.

By this time, Mr. Mei was still outside exercising and hadn’t returned yet, so breakfast would have to wait.

After taking Lin Wan upstairs, Han Yi immediately lit the mosquito coil and then dragged Lin Wan downstairs.

During breakfast, Little Star sat next to Old Mrs. Mei, with a distressed face, saying, "Great-grandma, look, there were so many mosquitoes in the room yesterday that they drank up all of Xingxing’s blood, I’m so scared!"

"Why so many bites? How are you two taking care of the child? Wasn’t the mosquito coil used?"

"Grandmother, I’m allergic to mosquito coils and can’t use them," Lin Wan worriedly stopped Little Star from blurting out that little brother couldn’t use them.

Although they had explained to Little Star, she was still just a child.

"Allergic? Why didn’t you say so earlier, isn’t there a mosquito net in the room?"

"Huh? Great-grandma, Xingxing didn’t see it. But, Xingxing did spend a long time catching mosquitoes with mom and dad last night."

"No?" Old Mrs. Mei looked surprised and glanced at Xie Lingzhi, who kept her head down and continued eating as if she hadn’t noticed.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Old Mrs. Mei smiled at Little Star, "I’ll have someone buy one later, so Xingxing won’t get bitten tonight."

"Great-grandma is so nice," Little Star said, and with her oily little mouth, gave Old Mrs. Mei a kiss.

Han Yi continued, "Also install some window screens, otherwise, people can’t get in at night."

"Alright, have someone handle it," Mr. Mei said, envious of his great-granddaughter’s fondness for his wife. Whatever Han Yi suggested, he nodded in agreement.

He thought to himself to take Little Star out today to cultivate their bond.

After breakfast, Mei Langchi mentioned something to the family before leaving, while Han Yi was called away by Mei Shuping.

Little Star was taken downtown by the two elders, saying they were going to buy toys for her, leaving Xie Lingzhi and Lin Wan at home, exchanging hostile looks.

Lin Wan decisively went to godmother’s place, originally planning to have a chat with Old Mrs. Mei about buying mosquito nets.

"I just planned to go tell Old Mrs. Mei to buy you mosquito nets. Have you already talked it over?"
