Chapter 827: Chapter 827

Even Lu Zhengzheng and Fang Yao, dragging their suitcases out, wished they could just carry them instead and tiptoe away.

Jiang Wenhu looked at her granddaughter sitting cross-legged on her special little sofa with a blank expression, then glanced at her daughter calmly browsing on her tablet on the opposite sofa, and took a deep breath to encourage herself.

"Nannan, your mom is going to work very far away this time, there's really no way she can take you with her."

The little girl crossed her arms and pouted, "Hmph!"

Jiang Wenhu: Headache!

She didn't know who her granddaughter inherited this temperament from.

Her son-in-law was always good-tempered, never had she seen Shen Yunqing lose his temper or get red-eyed over the years; even her daughter used to be just a bit bossy and strong-willed, but had become much more patient since becoming a mom.

Yet, her granddaughter, from birth to now at three years old, had quite the fierce temperament.

It wasn't the kind of bossy, unreasonable fierceness, but rather just sitting there made anyone feel this kid was not to be messed with.

If she were a boy, that might be fine; being fierce would mean less likely to be bullied in the future.

Jiang Lingxi glanced at her plump daughter in confrontation with her.

She knew whom this girl's temperament resembled.

Like her great-grandmother!

Before the Jiang family aspired to seize the world in that era of competing powers, they were actually a declining noble family.

It was her great-grandmother, once a heroic woman from a family of generals, who, after marrying into the Jiang family, lifted up this declining noble family all by herself.

Unfortunately, not long after she was born in her past life and had the joy of being with her, the great-grandmother passed away due to old age.

But the deeds of this fierce great-grandmother were remembered by the younger generation of the Jiang family.

One could say, without the great-grandmother, there would be no later Jiang family, and subsequently no founding emperor of Dayin!

So Jiang Lingxi was actually quite delighted by her plump daughter's fierce temperament that gave Jiang Wenhu some headache.

Moreover, what used to be called fierceness could now be described using a trendy internet term as having a big sister aura!

After finishing reading, Jiang Lingxi folded the tablet and faced Shen Qiangqiang, whose phoenix eyes resembled hers by eighty percent, and whose gaze and stubborn expression were very close to hers, "How about we make a deal?"

Shen Qiangqiang's stubborn expression paused.

She was already prepared that if her mom spoke in an adult, commanding tone, ordering her to stay at home, she would not give in, and could even throw a tantrum.

But now that her mom was proposing to discuss it with her, naturally, she wanted to be sensible too.

Jiang Lingxi pointed to Lu Zhengzheng and the others, who were quietly moving luggage, "My work is already decided, I cannot break my word, so I must leave today."

Shen Qiangqiang nodded with difficulty.

She indeed wanted her mom to accompany her, but she could already watch cartoons by herself now, and the cartoons showed that adults needed to go out to work to earn money to support children like her.

But couldn't her work include taking her along? She wouldn't be a nuisance!

"But the place for this job is far away, and it's my first time going there; I'm not familiar with it, and I'm afraid I won't be able to look after you then."

That was a reasonable concern.

"I will sit quietly and not run around, not disrupt anything, and listen to you."

Even Jiang Wenhu almost couldn't resist softening after hearing that.

Jiang Lingxi lightly coughed, reminding Jiang Wenhu to stick to her stance, "But with you around, I can't be completely at ease, I'll inevitably get distracted keeping an eye on you, and that might affect my work."

Jiang Wenhu was reminded, then couldn't help nodding at her daughter's words.

With a child so young, one can't be fully at ease even leaving them at home with a nanny, let alone during work.

Shen Qiangqiang clenched her small fist, her little face showing a touch of emotion, but still a bit unwilling.

Jiang Lingxi watched her expression change, "How about this, for the next few days you stay with your dad, and when his work clears up, you both can come find me. How about that?"

Comparatively, being with Shen Yunqing and visiting the Dayin Palace Museum was undoubtedly much safer.

Shen Qiangqiang furrowed her brows and seriously considered it for a while before reluctantly nodding, "Alright then."

This way, not only could she stay with her dad, but later she could also be with both her mom and dad; it wasn't a bad thought.

Jiang Wenhu almost couldn't hold back her laughter, seeing her little adult-like expression.

She suppressed her laughter hard, "Cough, alright, alright, this arrangement is best."

When Shen Yunqing came out of the study after packing up, Shen Qiangqiang slid off the little sofa, pattered next to her dad, and offered her little hand.

Shen Yunqing subconsciously clasped his daughter's chubby little hand gently, then bent to scoop up the plump girl, and glanced toward his Majesty.

This child had hidden herself in an unpacked suitcase early in the morning, insisting on going to the crew and refusing to be dragged out.

Your Majesty had said she'd handle it; was it resolved?

Jiang Lingxi met Shen Yunqing's gaze, nodded, "We reached an agreement; for the next few days, she'll be with you, and when you've finished restoring that ancient painting, you can bring her along to visit me."

Shen Qiangqiang nodded in agreement, "Mm-hmm-hmm."

Since the mother and daughter had come to an agreement, Shen Yunqing naturally had no objections, "Alright."

"Sister Xi," Lu Zhengzheng ran into the hall, "it's time to leave."

Jiang Lingxi pinched the chubby cheeks of her daughter, exchanging a knowing look with her, "Off we go!"

Shen Yunqing held his daughter and sent her to the door, watching the nanny car leave. The father and daughter's silhouette strangely appeared a bit desolate.

The filming location for Jiang Lingxi this time was an ancient town in the south that was still relatively well-preserved.

There were quite a few tourists.

That was one of the main reasons she insisted on not bringing her chubby daughter along.

More tourists meant a higher number of unstable factors. Even with Lu Zhengzheng and Fang Yao helping keep an eye on things while she filmed, she couldn't be entirely at ease.

Besides, that girl was quirky enough that Lu Zhengzheng and the others might not handle her well. Thıs content belongs to 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍

The current arrangement was best.

Upon arrival, they got to work. After about ten days of filming, just as Jiang Lingxi estimated Shen Yunqing was about to finish his end, she received a video call from the father and daughter duo at the inn in the evening.

"Leaving tomorrow? Don't worry, your room's ready."

The crew had rented a large faux-ancient inn for filming. When she checked in, she had specially changed to a large suite, anticipating the father and daughter visiting her.

The next day, while Jiang Lingxi was rehearsing at the makeshift set, she heard a commotion at the entrance and turned to look, sensing something, as the father and daughter duo made their grand entrance.

It was truly grand and dramatic.

The chubby daughter was in a pastel pink outfit, a shade so bright it was almost over-the-top pink; Jiang Lingxi was sure she hadn't bought it — undoubtedly picked by the girl herself. She even wore pink sunglasses on her nose, her cool little face exuding the aura of a big sister.

Behind her was Shen Yunqing, dressed in black, wearing sunglasses on his nose for once, with lips slightly pursed, giving off a slightly unapproachable vibe.

However, Jiang Lingxi had every reason to suspect that the outfit and expression, from top to bottom, were schemes orchestrated by the chubby girl walking in front.

So, did the father and daughter think they were making a theatrical entrance?
