Chapter 391 The Thousand-Year-Old Turtle

What Qiao Changdong didn't know was that his daughter now shared the same thoughts as him.

Ever since Qiao Qiao had that dream about Qiao Changdong being injured, she hasn't dared to be careless, even though the timeline has already passed according to the dream's timeline.

She also tried her best to stay by Qiao Changdong's side, wanting to protect him.

Even when they arrived at the private room at the Jinping Hotel, they didn't relax.

"Uncle, can my sister sit in this tall chair?"

When the restaurant waiter served the dishes, Wangwang thought that Qiao Qiao was too small and couldn't reach the food while sitting in a regular chair, so he went to the corner and pushed over a high chair for children, showing off to Qiao Changdong.

"Haha, this kid is quite sensible. It seems he really likes his little sister."

After arranging everything, Wang Zhenhua came in from outside and happened to see this scene, so he laughed and joked.

The others laughed along with him.

Wang Zhenhua sat down next to Wang Xinghua, and Qiao Changdong sat on the other side of Wang Xinghua.

"Changdong, can you drink? Want some?" Wang Zhenhua asked Qiao Changdong, who was on his other side, across from Wang Xinghua in the middle.

Qiao Changdong was feeding Qiao Qiao the local specialty corn porridge when he heard this and was about to reply when he heard a knock on the door of the private room that had been closed. Then he saw a young man walk in.

The young man scanned the room, and finally locked his gaze on Wang Zhenhua before quickly walking over.

He lowered his head, leaned close to Wang Zhenhua's ear, and whispered, "The master has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenhua stood up from his chair again and said apologetically to Qiao Changdong and Grandma Qiao and Yan Liti, who were sitting with Wang Mingcheng and Yan Xiaoqing.

"Aunt, Aunt, Changdong, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to attend to and I may need to excuse myself for a moment."

"You're busier than the Premier!" Wang Mingcheng frowned and said unhappily.

"Dad..." Wang Zhenhua called out helplessly.

He had no choice.

His brother, Wang Xinghua, was unwilling to take over the family business and entered the education sector with his mother at a young age, and still refuses to get involved.

Such a large business is usually run by several brothers together in other families, but in his family, he is the only one who is busy with everything.

The boys are still young, what can he do?

How could I not be busy!

"It's alright, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Don't worry about us," Yan Liti said nonchalantly.

Grandma Qiao chimed in, "Yes, you're busy, don't worry about us."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenhua spoke a few more apologetic words to Qiao Changdong and the others before getting up and leaving the private room under the guidance of the young man.

After Wang Zhenhua left the private room, the others continued chatting and laughing while waiting for the waiter to serve the food.

After Qiao Qiao was fed half a cup of corn porridge by Qiao Changdong, she was lured off Qiao Changdong by Wang Chun with a tin frog and jumped off him.

The tin frog is only the size of a palm, it's green, and it has a spring-loaded tail.

Wind this spring counterclockwise twice, then put it on the ground, and the little frog will be able to hop around on its own.

"Little sister, if you move into our yard tonight, I'll give you this little frog, okay?" Wang Chun saw that Qiao Qiao liked the toy, so he immediately held up the little frog to tempt her.

After tempting her, as if afraid that this wasn't enticing enough, he continued to offer more bait: "Little sister, I have lots and lots of toys in my room. If you move in with me, I'll let you play with them all!"

Yan Liti, who was talking to Yan Xiaoqing, happened to hear Wang Chun's words and immediately laughed, "Xiao Chun, you can't fool your sister like that."

"Why?" Wang Chun turned around and looked over.

After living in the castle for ten days to half a month, Wang Mingcheng replied, "Because your great-aunt bought toys for your sister and bought several rooms. The little room you have is not even a fraction of what others have."

Wang Mingcheng's words were not an exaggeration.

Kyoto has dedicated children's toy stores.

Before Qiao Qiao even arrived in Kyoto, Yan Liti had already spoken to the people at the children's toy store, asking them to send a complete set of all the existing toys to the castle, and that if any new toys were added, a complete set would be sent there as well.

This has resulted in Qiao Qiao still not having dismantled most of the toys in that castle.

When Qiao Xiaoyun went back this time, she brought some toys suitable for her brothers to play with, and some were mailed back directly.

Some of the toys she took apart and found uninteresting, and she had nowhere to put them, so Yan Liti let the servants in the castle choose for themselves, and those she liked could take them back to the younger generation in her family to play with.

In short, Qiao Qiao not only has more toys than she can play with herself, but she also has more than she can give away.

The bait that Wang Chun offered her was indeed not tempting at all.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chun pouted in disappointment, but then, remembering something, she grabbed her hand excitedly and said, "Then, little sister, I'll take you to see the old turtle."

"Old turtle?" Qiao Qiao looked over in confusion.

Wang Chun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, old turtle, let me tell you, this restaurant has a turtle this big, the owner said it's a thousand-year-old turtle!"

As Wang Chun spoke, he opened his arms and made a chest-expanding motion, indicating that Qiao Qiao, that old bastard, was that big.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao became genuinely interested.

She turned to look at Qiao Changdong, who was talking to Wang Xinghua: "Dad."

Qiao Changdong hadn't noticed her conversation with Wang Chun. Hearing her call, he looked over and asked gently, "What's wrong? Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

"There's a restroom in this private room, you don't need to go outside," Wu Meiyun said, pointing to a curtain embroidered with a landscape painting.

Behind the curtain was a wooden door carved with flowers and birds, and behind that was probably the restroom.

Qiao Qiao shook her head and said, "No, Dad, Brother Xiao Chun said there's a thousand-year-old tortoise here, and I want to go see it."

“There is indeed an old tortoise here, you can go and take a look.” Wang Xinghua chimed in, “But it’s not as exaggerated as a thousand years old, it’s probably three to four hundred years old, which is still very rare, so you can definitely go and see it.”

"Wow, that's so rare! I'll go take a look too." Yan Liti became interested upon hearing this and took out her camera from her bag, saying, "Come on, baby, let's take some photos together."

Just as the food hadn't been served yet, Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti took a few children downstairs to check on the turtles.

This restaurant is an old establishment dating back to the Republic of China era. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, two more buildings were built next to the original store. The 'thousand-year-old' turtle is located in the artificial lake connecting these two buildings.
