Reborn as an Alpha and Still Wanting to Engage in Lesbian Relationships - Chapter 24.3

Finally having recaptured Jiang Man’s attention, Wen Qing puffed out her chest confidently, ready to showcase her vast knowledge.

But before she could begin, Jiang Man casually flipped through a few pages.

Just one glance at the densely packed text on the title page made the child’s head spin.

After skimming a few pages, Jiang Man realized this wasn’t an ordinary document. Assuming Wen Qing had mischievously grabbed it at random, she put on a stern face and said, “Sis, no!”

Then, afraid Wen Qing might misunderstand her, Jiang Man set the thick report aside and handed her a children’s picture book instead.

Wen Qing looked down at the picture book in her lap, dissatisfied with its simplicity. But when she glanced up and met Jiang Man’s beautiful eyes, she reluctantly accepted it.

Placing the book on Jiang Man’s lap, Wen Qing prepared to compete with Wangwang for the role of reading the story.

Before she could start, Jiang Man picked up the book and under Wen Qing’s confused gaze handed it to Wangwang.

“Want me to read this one?” Wangwang asked, taking the new picture book from Manman.

Jiang Man nodded emphatically, tugging at the beautiful child’s hand beside her. “Sis! Want!”

Wen Qing watched as the book she had intended to use to flaunt her knowledge was misinterpreted by Jiang Man as a request for a story since she couldn’t read and handed over to Wangwang.

Only after giving the book to Wangwang did Jiang Man belatedly realize her mistake.

Wen Qing was taking the initiative to learn how to read, and here I am discouraging her like this. Isn’t that too harsh?

As if to make amends, Manman turned and hugged the stunned Wen Qing, planting several kisses on her soft, fair cheeks. “Sis no cry, I learn learn, read for sis!”

Manman’s chubby cheeks nuzzled against Wen Qing’s face, snapping her out of her daze.

Hearing Jiang Man’s words, Wen Qing pursed her lips and replied calmly, “Book book need sleep sleep read. Manman want sleep sleep with me?”

“Sis, huh?” Jiang Man was taken aback.

Sitting nearby, Wangwang, who had been waiting for the signal to start overheard their conversation and scooted closer. “But, Mommy said only married people can sleep together.”

The little one, who had been staring intently at Jiang Man’s eyes, obediently changed her question upon hearing Yuan Yuan’s words: “Will Man Man marry me?”

The beautiful child’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft not only did all the children in the activity room hear her words, but the high-quality recording equipment also clearly captured her statement.

【Childhood Sweetheart Stock Surges: Ahhh! Qingzai just made a bold confession! Oh my god! Your childhood sweetheart stock is skyrocketing!】

【ChildhoodFriendSupremacy: ! This childhood friend is the best!】

【FullZaiCute: Wow! The little ones’ words are so adorable! So silly, thinking that reading stories means getting married hahaha】

The live stream audience and CP fans grew restless upon hearing Wen Qing’s confession.

The screen flooded with comments scrolling past like tidal waves.

Amid the collective euphoria, one comment drifted slowly by: 【LMAO, who remembers Chairman Jiang guarding against Qing? Got nibbled by Manzai in the morning, got his lips pinched into a duckbill by his wife, and now his home gets stolen in the afternoon.】

【The entire stream is full of readers shipping the childhood friends Manzai and Qingzai – we’ve achieved a world where only the grumpy Chairman Jiang who fiercely rejected the arranged marriage gets hurt!】

Wen Qing’s beautiful eyes remained fixed on Jiang Man, who couldn’t decipher whether this pretty little one was just speaking childish words or being serious.

Looking at the child’s chubby cheeks, Jiang Man decided it must be childish babble.

How could you take a child’s words seriously!

But she’s just too adorable!

Having reached this realization, Jiang Man beamed with affection, hugging the adorable little sister and nuzzling her vigorously.

The moment their chubby cheeks touched, the pretty little one knew Jiang Man hadn’t taken her words seriously.

Though Jiang Man didn’t believe her, the pretty little one demonstrated through actions that she was the one who would marry Manzai, bossily shooing away every other child trying to get close to Jiang Man.

Seeing the pretty little one’s confident and cocky demeanor, though Fang Jin and Mu Qian didn’t understand what “getting married” meant, they still nodded foolishly, completely swayed by Wen Qing’s persuasion.

But there was one little one who remained deeply dissatisfied.

Wangwang watched as Wen Qing seriously told Fang Jin and the others that she would marry Man Man, her lips quivering as she struggled to hold back.

The pretty little one, busy promoting her marriage plans with Man Man, completely failed to notice Wangwang behind her.

Just after finishing another round of boasting to Man Man’s little friends about getting married, sudden crying erupted from behind.

Wangwang, having held back as long as she could, finally collapsed onto the carpet and burst into loud sobs.

The child’s wailing brought adults running in alarm. Arriving in the living room, they found Wangwang slumped on the floor crying heartbrokenly.

Jiang Man, who had been learning characters with Yuan Yuan, was initially startled by the crying. Turning to see Wangwang’s distress, she quickly pulled Yuan Yuan along to comfort her.

Seeing Jiang Man approach, Wangwang grabbed the chubby little hand, crying while indistinctly protesting: “I was supposed to marry Man Man first! Man Man promised to marry me and have babies!”

Through tear-filled eyes, Wangwang pointed at Wen Qing: “You’re the bad one! You’re breaking up me and Man Man’s happy family!”

“?”

Countless question marks popped up in Jiang Man’s little head.

This being her first experience with marriage proposals, Jiang Man felt completely flustered.

But seeing Wen Qing’s eyes growing redder and filling with tears across from her, Jiang Man quickly shook her head, “N-no!”

Jiang Man’s head shook like a rattle drum, both hands waving frantically to show she knew nothing about this!

How could she have somehow gotten married to Wangwang without even knowing? Nobody told her!

Seeing Jiang Man’s denial, Wangwang sniffled a few times, as if she’d anticipated this reaction all along.

She rummaged through her smock pocket, pulling out a bunch of little trinkets before finally fishing out a slightly wilted flower.

“Kang!” Wangwang raised the flower and declared loudly, “This is from Manman and me, a token of affection!”

Wen Qing, who had never received a flower from Duan Shui Man alone before, felt tears welling up in her eyes.

Jiang Man stared at the flower in Wangwang’s hand for a long time before she finally remembered what it was.

She gently pulled Wangwang’s hand down and said, “But, Sister Yuan Yuan has one too!”

Wangwang looked over at Yuanyuan, who nodded and pulled out an identical flower from her own smock pocket.

These two flowers had been brought by an auntie from the stables who visited their mother at noon, specifically for Manman. But in the afternoon, Yuanyuan and Wangwang had arrived.

After thinking it over, the hospitable Manman decided to “borrow flowers to offer to Buddha” she gifted the flowers the pretty auntie had given her to Yuanyuan and Wangwang as a welcome present.

Yuanyuan looked at the flower in Wangwang’s hand and couldn’t help but pout.

Li Chengxi and Qian Duowei, who had been woken early by Yuanyuan’s crying, couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the little ones “vying for Manman’s affection.”

Li Chengxi glanced at the pitifully pretty little one and teased, “Wow, Qingzai, Manman has so many admirers! You’ll have to work hard!”

Wen Qing, holding back her tears, watched as Jiang Man paid attention to Wangwang but ignored her, and her tears began to fall.

Manman, following in her mother’s footsteps, was a top-tier “face connoisseur” like Liu Ying, and she adored pretty little ones!

Just as she had initially taken a liking to Wen Qing, Jiang Man found herself instinctively doting on Wangwang, whose omega-leaning traits made her features even more delicate.
