After I transmigrated, the cold king clung to me every day.

Chapter 192 Xiaodie: "Miss, let's go take a look over there too!"

Under Lin Qianqian's meticulous care these past few days, Xiaodie's health has slowly recovered. Her originally pale face has gradually regained its rosy hue, her weak steps have become stronger, and the lively and cheerful little girl of the past is once again full of energy and jumping around.

Having been cooped up indoors for quite some time, Lin Qianqian felt extremely tired and listless, so she decided to go out for a stroll.

Xiaodie is the kind of person who can't sit still for a moment. As soon as she heard that she was going out shopping, her eyes lit up instantly. She was so happy that she almost jumped for joy, and her face was full of uncontrollable excitement.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, Lin Qianqian suddenly stopped, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Xiaodie quickly stepped forward, tilted her head, and blinked her big eyes, asking, "Miss, what's wrong? Why aren't you moving? What are you thinking about?"

Lin Qianqian snapped out of her daze, a slight smile playing on her lips as she said to Xiaodie, "Xiaodie, let's go call Wan'er and go shopping together."

Upon hearing this, Xiaodie pursed her lips slightly and reluctantly said, "Ah~ call her?" Her expression clearly showed some resistance.

Looking at Xiaodie, Lin Qianqian gently patted her shoulder and patiently explained, "She's pregnant now, and I bet she's just like me, staying in this room all day, getting so bored she's practically moldy. Let's invite her out for a walk; it'll be good for her baby, and we can also use this opportunity to strengthen our relationship. Isn't that great?"

Xiaodie was still a little upset, but she didn't say anything more. She just pouted and replied softly, "Oh, okay."

After saying that, Lin Qianqian strode off in a rather bold manner, heading straight towards the west wing, seemingly eager to invite Su Wan'er.

Afraid of being left behind, Xiaodie quickly took off after her, calling out as she ran, "Miss, slow down! Be careful! Wait for me!"

Lin Qianqian walked briskly to the west wing. As soon as she stepped inside, she subconsciously looked around. The furnishings inside were neatly arranged, but it was quiet. Su Wan'er was nowhere to be seen, and even Huan'er was nowhere to be seen.

She couldn't help but frown slightly, her eyes filled with doubt, her gaze searching back and forth in the room as if afraid of missing any corner.

After a while, Lin Qianqian shook her head slightly and muttered to herself, "Strange, she's not in the room. Could she have gone out?"

Xiaodie, who was listening nearby, pouted and muttered under her breath, "Miss, did Consort Su go out on her own? Oh dear, Miss, you treat her like a sister, but she doesn't care about you at all."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian immediately turned to look at Xiaodie, her expression slightly darkening, and called out in a serious tone, "Xiaodie!"

Xiaodie immediately shrank back in fright, realizing she had said the wrong thing. She quickly pouted and obediently shut her mouth, not daring to utter a sound. She just lowered her head and shuffled her toes on the ground, looking guilty.

Seeing this, Lin Qianqian didn't say anything more. She could only purse her lips slightly. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she couldn't delay any longer.

So she sighed helplessly and turned to walk out of the house with Xiaodie. But her back view still showed some regret and disappointment at not being able to invite Su Wan'er to come along.

The streets were already bustling with activity, a constant flow of people. Men, women, and children moved about, some hurrying along with their own affairs, others strolling leisurely. Each person wore a different expression, yet together they created this lively and bustling scene.

The sounds of vendors calling out their wares rose and fell along the street, with stalls lined up one after another, displaying a dazzling array of goods, from exquisite handicrafts to delicious snacks, offering something for everyone.

As soon as Xiaodie arrived on the street, she was like a bird released from its cage, incredibly excited. Her eyes were wide open, still very curious about the various and dazzling things around her. One moment she would glance at the pretty hairpins here, and the next she would be attracted by the sugar figurines there. Her head kept looking left and right, as if she was afraid of missing some new and interesting treasure. Her feet kept moving with her gaze, wishing she could see all the fun things on the street at once.

Lin Qianqian walked beside Xiaodie, her posture upright, her steps light yet carrying a rare air of composure and elegance. Looking at Xiaodie's childlike excitement and curiosity, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, her eyes filled with doting affection, like a gentle spring pond, yet also revealing a hint of helplessness. It was as if she were facing a mischievous yet lovable younger sister; though exasperated by her boisterousness, she found her exceptionally endearing and wished she could enjoy this carefree shopping experience to the fullest.

Seeing Xiaodie's excited, gesturing wildly and looking around, Lin Qianqian blushed slightly. She quickly tugged at Xiaodie's sleeve and whispered, "Xiaodie, be more reserved. Look at you, you don't look like a proper girl at all."

As she said this, Lin Qianqian's brows furrowed slightly, but her eyes still held an undisguised doting affection, and a helpless smile played on her lips.

Xiaodie seemed not to hear, her eyes fixed on the steaming, enticingly fragrant food stalls on the street. Her eyes were practically sparkling as she excitedly exclaimed, "Miss, there's so much delicious food! Look at those roasted chestnuts and those freshly steamed meat buns, they smell so good, I'm practically drooling!"

As she spoke, she kept swallowing, looking like a gluttonous cat, which was quite amusing. She also unconsciously moved closer to the food stall.

Seeing this, Lin Qianqian was both amused and annoyed. She shook her head helplessly, gently tapped Xiaodie's forehead with her finger, and said reproachfully, "You, I really can't do anything with you, all you do is eat." Although her tone was somewhat feigned reproach, her gaze towards Xiaodie became even more tender.

Not far from Lin Qianqian and Xiaodie, there was a lively little stall on the street, and the stall owner was Li Yue.

She stood behind her stall, a warm and confident smile on her face, loudly hawking her handmade trinkets—small, exquisite animal ornaments carefully woven from colorful ropes.

The ornaments were woven with exquisite detail, including lifelike little rabbits that seemed ready to leap up at any moment, and majestic little tigers that exuded a unique spirit.

Li Yue's loud voice echoed through the street: "Come on, take a look! These are all handmade, high-quality items. I've put my heart and soul into making each one! Whether you buy them for your kids to play with or hang them in your house as decorations, they're perfect!"

As she spoke, she picked up a pendant and showed it to everyone, her face full of pride. "Our prices are absolutely fair, we just want everyone to like it. You won't regret buying it!"

Her straightforward and hearty sales pitch seemed to have a magical power, attracting a large crowd. Men, women, and children gathered around the stall, picking up the ornaments to examine them closely, growing more and more fond of them, each one reluctant to put them down.

Some elderly people smiled and praised her craftsmanship, and immediately took out money to buy several, saying they would take them back for their grandchildren; young girls picked and chose, constantly praising how exquisite and unique the ornaments were, saying they would look beautiful hanging on their sachets; even the children tugged at their parents' clothes, gazing longingly at the cute little animal ornaments, clamoring and begging to have them.

Looking at the lively scene, Li Yue smiled even more brightly. Her bright eyes were full of love for life and determination to work hard on her own. She exuded a unique charm of independent woman's self-reliance.

Xiao Die's eyes were fixed on the bustling stall not far away, her face full of curiosity and excitement. She grabbed Lin Qianqian's hand, pulling it hard while tilting her head back, her eyes brimming with anticipation, and said eagerly, "Miss, let's go take a look too. It looks quite interesting over there. Those things look so exquisite." As she spoke, she unconsciously tightened her grip, as if afraid that Lin Qianqian would refuse.

Lin Qianqian sighed helplessly, a slight smile of indulgence and pampering on her lips. She could only let Xiaodie pull her toward the stall, reminding her, "Okay, okay, pull slowly, don't fall."
