Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Ye Chu turned over uncomfortably, yet she did not wake up. She seemed to be engrossed in the dream for the entire time. Suddenly, the dream changed. Two young mothers were fighting, and the round-faced girl lost her previous violence, turning into an adorable, knowledgeable and upper-class little princess. Her large eyes were red like she had just been bullied harshly. She looked like she did not dare to speak.

The girl with the egg-shaped face was amazed. The two young mothers were fighting, and one of the other mothers also joined it. It became three mothers who were fighting.

“I won’t say sorry. Who hit her first? You said that my daughter hit her. Do you truly believe that? Look at her. She’s so small and weak. She doesn’t even dare to cut a single stalk of flower at home. How can she beat someone up?”

The round-faced girl nodded cooperatively. Yes, she was very kind. She would not hit anyone.

Another mother said, “My daughter’s back is injured. How do you explain this?”

…

The argument was extremely agitated. The round-faced girl yawned and told the girl with the egg-shaped face secretly. “I’m so tired. When will they stop arguing?”

“Shh!” The girl with the egg-shaped face lifted a finger. “Don’t speak anymore. Madam is very angry.”

The round-faced girl rolled her eyes and massaged her stiff neck. When the young mom turned her head around, she immediately stood straight and revealed a wronged expression.

…

The round-faced girl and the girl with the egg-shaped face were standing in the garden as punishment. An old butler was holding a long ruler. The two girls stretched out their hands, and the ruler hit their palms. For every hit, the girl with the egg-shaped face winced once. She bit her lips and looked like she was trying to force herself not to cry. She looked pitiful.

The round-faced girl had a look that seemed to suggest that she was not afraid of being hit. She was very direct and casual about it. “Butler, just hit me. Don’t hit her anymore. It’s all my fault.”

“Miss, you committed a mistake. The people who followed you should be beaten too.”

“On what basis?” The round-faced girl pouted.

“You still dare to talk!” The young woman walked out. “I have told you so many times to stop fighting. You must maintain your demure image outside. If you fight like an unreasonable auntie, you are losing our family’s face.”

“A demure image, losing our family’s face…” The round-faced girl mumbled softly, saying these words at the same time as the woman. She had already repeated these words multiple times.

“Stand for two hours. No one is allowed to speak in their favor.”

The young woman walked back.

The two girls stood in the garden, and it was extremely sunny. The girl with the egg-shaped face said, “I’m so hungry.”

“I am hungry too.”

The two of them exchanged looks and sighed.

The round-faced girl glanced at the castle. The young woman had left. She suddenly got an idea and moved backward. The girl with the egg-shaped face pulled her back hurriedly. “What do you want to do?”

“Cover for me.”

“Stop messing around. You will get beaten again.”

“What are you scared of?” The round-faced girl inched towards the garden and ran towards a little pear tree at the side when no one was looking. She jumped up, picked two pears off, and ran back. She gave a pear to the girl with the egg-shaped face.

“Here!”

“I’m not eating.”

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“I…”

“Eat it. You are being misled by the rules.”

The two of them ate the pears secretly.

A car drove over from the castle along the main road. The round-faced girl said, “Oh no. Oh no.”

The girl with the egg-shaped face hurriedly threw the half-eaten pear into the flower pot. The round-faced girl was also shocked. Unfortunately, she did not control her strength well and threw her half-eaten pear far away.. It rolled and stopped in front of a teenager wearing a pair of white sport shoes.
