Chapter 270: Miss Qiao Takes the Children for a Walk

You've decided then, I have no objections." She had never expected anything from this marriage.The butler, hearing her say this, didn't ask any further. Seeing that her face was a little tired, he smi...Last night Qiao Baoer was kept up half the night by that upstairs lunatic, luckily he quieted down after 12 o'clock, otherwise she would have really gone up there to beat him.

She kept in mind the rumors about 402 being a haunted apartment that the old residents had told her, and then the noise from upstairs drove her to mental exhaustion, causing her to have nightmares all night.

She dreamt she was in a strange, spacious room, empty except for a large white bed in the center. She was tied to the bed, unable to move her limbs.

She struggled in fear, the rope thick and binding her hands and feet tightly, making it impossible to break free. However, a black shadow pushed open the door. She couldn't make out the figure's appearance, perhaps because she was bound, lying flat and looking up at an angle that made the figure seem especially tall and terrifying.

"Who are you"

"Are you trying to harm me What have I done to offend you"

She tried to calm herself in her dream and negotiate with the other party, "If I really did something wrong, I apologize to you. I'll make amends. You can do anything to me."

And that person just stood silently by the bed, without a word.

Finally, she couldn't contain her fear and screamed, "You can hurt me, I'm not afraid of suffering or pain. Please give me back my children, they are so young, don't harm them, please give me back my children!"

When she awoke, she found tears still streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Qiao Bao'er climbed up, sitting stiffly against the headboard. Ever since the incident, she had grown accustomed to nightmares, her whole body filled with terror and unease.

Those things, she couldn't forget, but if she thought about them too deeply, she feared remembering them too clearly.

She has been stuck in a state of constant emotional conflict, like being lost in a maze with no way out. Fear and anxiety gnaw at her, pushing her to the brink of mental collapse. She wonders how much longer she can endure this torment, questioning the very purpose of her existence.

Took the medicine from the bedside, regardless of whether or not it was on an empty stomach, and swallowed a pill directly.

She closed her eyes and silently repeated her prayer in her heart. She dared not speak it aloud, for she had heard that wishes would not come true if they were spoken. She wasn't superstitious, just afraid.

Qiao Bao'er knew she couldn't wallow in sadness, so she immediately got up and washed her face. She opened all the windows at home, letting the sunlight stream in, adding at least a bit of vitality.

After last night's heavy rain, the air this morning was very fresh. Taking a deep breath, she changed into her workout clothes and decided to jog around the neighborhood. Exercise really helps to clear your head.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she realized that the white drone toy was still there.

"Why hasn't anyone taken this expensive electric toy"

This time, she curiously crouched down and examined it carefully. She found that its craftsmanship was quite delicate. She took the remote control and pressed a few buttons, and it actually lit up, then soared into the sky.

Qiao Bao'er was dumbfounded. She chased after it and ran out, just watching as this thing flew out of the stairwell through that window, then vanished without a trace.

She felt very guilty, after all, it wasn't her own. She quickly leaned against the window and looked out, she didn't know how to control it remotely. She glanced at the elevator, got anxious, and simply ran down the stairs to chase after it.

After a heavy rain last night, the lawn in the community was very moist. Fortunately, the cement ground dried quickly. Qiao Bao'er chased after a drone all the way, splashing water with her heels and getting her pants dirty. Finally, she picked it up on a patch of concrete to the west side of the community.

He was panting, glaring at the electric toy on the ground. He really wished he could crush it with his foot to vent his anger.

But the toy belonged to someone else, and she felt embarrassed to ruin it. She looked boredly at the few buttons on the remote in her hand, and impulsively pressed one.

This drone can walk straight and turn on concrete, it can also take off suddenly and fly pretty fast. After playing with it for a while, she found that it wasn't hard to control.

Just as Qiao Bao'er felt she was being too childish, thinking of tidying up and putting it back in its original place, suddenly a big dog rushed out.

This husky jumped up, as tall as an adult. It excitedly chased the drone, barking and baring its teeth as if trying to bite it down.

... Qiao Bao'er was startled and hurriedly threw the toy high in the air, keeping a safe distance. However, after half a minute, she wasn't afraid anymore. This husky was probably kept by one of the residents. It didn't bite anyone; it just kept running after the drone flying in the sky. ...

Jo Bao'er had a mischievous streak, controlling the electric toy to make the drone fly up and down erratically. The husky was full of energy, jumping dozens of times before tiring itself out, panting with its tongue lolling out.

After a short while, the dog got thirsty and ran back home to drink water.

Jo Bao'er guessed it would probably come back. She lowered the drone to the ground and let it walk around. Originally, she planned to play with the dog for a while longer, just to pass the time.

To her surprise, amidst the neatly trimmed lawn ahead, a faint rustling sound suddenly caught her attention. She focused and saw a small head popping up from the grass.

A little boy, about one year old, was fair and chubby. He wore a cute cartoon Spiderman outfit in red. His bright eyes looked at her curiously.

Qiao Bao'er stood still, staring at the little creature that had suddenly appeared. He walked unsteadily, his short legs waddling towards her as he babbled. The child's grandmother called out in a sweet voice, "Mommy..."

She stiffened all over.

At 9:00 am, the sun was hidden behind clouds, casting a gentle light. It was Saturday, so many office workers were taking their morning walks in the neighborhood.

Zhu Xiao Wei was especially energetic today, bringing Pei Yi, the little schemer, to spend Saturday with Qiao Bao Er.

However, before they could go upstairs, Pei Yi tugged at her sleeve, pointing with her little finger towards an empty space on the west side of the complex.

Zhu Xiao was the only one who recognized that woman over there was Qiao Bao'er. She had her back to Zhu Xiao and was sitting cross-legged on the ground, bowing her head seriously, apparently engrossed in something.

"What are you doing"

"Taking care of the kids."

Jo Bao'er spoke two words very calmly. As she lifted her head, she saw that the person who had come was Zhu Xiaowei. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she hid the remote control in her hand behind her back, trying to diminish its presence, as if someone had caught her doing something foolish, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Even Zhu Xiao Wei couldn't bear to look anymore, helplessly rubbing his forehead.

This person is so old, they're still playing with an electric toy and making the baby crawl around on the ground.

He walks unsteadily.

Jo Baoer awkwardly explained that she didn't mean for him to get dirty. It doesn't matter if a kid gets a little dirty, the most important thing is to play with him and make him happy.

In the midst of their conversation, Qiao Ba'er noticed a boy of five or six years old behind Zhu Xiaowei. "Who is he" Pei Yi was caught by Qiao Ba'er's gaze, and the little guy blushed inexplicably, his handsome face turning red.

Zhu Xiaowei looked down at Pei Yi, even more speechless. Pei Haran's son could blush too

"It's Saturday today, and he doesn't have to go to kindergarten. Pei Haoran has something to discuss with Jun Zhimu tonight, so I might as well bring him out with me..."

When Qiao Ba'er heard the name 'Jun Zhi Mu,' her expression clearly stiffened.

And the little baby, who had been playing happily all along, finally succeeded. He hugged the drone with his small arms, cried out joyfully, and then went straight to gnaw on it.

“You can't eat that,” Qiao Bao’er worriedly approached.

Before Qiao Bao'er's actions, a frantic woman's voice came from afar. The baby in front of her immediately excitedly scrambled to her feet upon hearing the voice.

Qiao Baoer watched as the little guy held onto one corner of the drone with his right hand, calling out to his mother.

Soon the child's biological mother ran over and scooped him up. Perhaps noticing that his clothes were dirty, she first furrowed her brow, then let out a sigh of relief when she saw he was unharmed.

"Xiaohong, what is this Where did it come from"

"Don't put everything in your mouth. This can't be eaten. Let's go back home, Dad bought you a birthday cake."

Jo Bao'er stood there watching the mother and son walk away, feeling that they were very warm and enviable.

She lowered her head to look at the remote control in her hand. The drone had been taken by the child, and she thought about just giving them the remote too. She started to walk towards them.

Although this drone is very light, it's about the size of a small stool. A child couldn't hold onto it and it fell straight onto the concrete floor.

This high-tech thing really isn't durable, the parts are all scattered everywhere.

The child's mother just glanced at the ground and didn't bother, she just walked away. Qiao Baier stepped forward and knelt down to pick up the broken pieces.

She sighed a little, wondering who it belonged to. She probably owed someone an apology for this.

"What is this"

Pei Yi was also curious and came over to help her clean up. Her small hand picked up a black piece with a mirror-like effect.

Zhu Xiaowei's expression grew serious. " Qiao Baoer, is this some kind of miniature surveillance device"

Qiao Bao'er took the small part and put it directly into her jacket pocket. She didn't speak, first tidying up the debris on the ground, then leading Zhu Xiaowei and Pei Yi back to apartment 402.

"Joe Bao'er, where did you get this drone" Zhu Xiaowei was a little uneasy.

As soon as the door closed, Qiao Baier pulled out the special device from her pocket and tossed it onto the floor, saying to Zhu Xiaowei, "Don't worry."

She scowled and, with a vicious stomp of her right foot, instantly rendered the electronic component useless with a sizzling sound of electricity.

Black screen —

"Master Shepherd, what are you looking at on your phone"

In another room, Pei Haoran discovered that the man opposite him seemed to be in a bad mood for some unknown reason. Jun Zhimu was staring intently at his phone screen, as if angry about something.

"Nothing." Junzhi Mu's usually composed face darkened, and he slammed his phone onto the table.ekked along the rugged mountain path and finally reached a cave dwelling."Our village received a flood relocation notice some time ago, and no one lives there now. The river has risen, and the mountai...
