The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

Chapter 1031 Wishing Qiao Sinian good health, peace, and a long life.

Incense smoke curled within the temple, and the deep sound of chanting drifted through the air.

The four little ones looked around curiously, while Bo Jingzhou, following Su Yutang, kept a close eye on them, keeping a close watch on them at all times.

Only Wen Xiaoman had a solemn and devout expression.

After washing her hands, she respectfully lit three incense sticks, knelt down slowly before the Buddha, and prepared to kowtow and pray for blessings.

A kind-faced old abbot walked slowly over and gestured for her to leave a wish on a note.

Seeing this, Wen Xiaoman took the letter and pen from the abbot and wrote a line on it: May Qiao Sinian be healthy, safe and live a long life.

After she finished writing, she returned the letter to the abbot.

As she rose to insert the incense into the incense burner, the old abbot glanced at her, his gaze deep, carrying a hint of pity and understanding. He spoke slowly, "Female benefactor, have you thought clearly about your wish? This opportunity is rare; only one wish can be made at a time. Why... not ask for something for yourself?"

Wen Xiaoman met the abbot's gaze and said, "I've thought it through. Thank you, Master."

Upon hearing this, the abbot glanced at her again, and as he turned away, he couldn't help but mutter, "Sigh, yet another lovesick fool..."

Wen Xiaoman bowed slightly to thank the abbot, then turned and walked out of the hall.

However, just as she stepped out of the main hall and looked up at the ancient wishing tree in the courtyard, she suddenly froze on the spot.

Beneath the tree, a familiar, tall figure stood quietly, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on him and giving his otherwise pale face a healthy glow.

Wen Xiaoman's heart suddenly started pounding wildly.

She couldn't believe her eyes and instinctively walked outside, her steps unsteady.

The figure also saw her, but did not move, only staring at her with deep eyes.

The distance between them gradually closed, and their eyes met.

The air seemed to freeze; the noise of the surrounding worshippers and the rustling of leaves in the wind all disappeared at that moment, and her world consisted only of him.

Wen Xiaoman looked carefully at the person in front of her.

He had lost some weight, and his facial features were more defined and sharp, but his eyes, which always seemed sickly and weary, were now surprisingly bright, radiating a brilliance she hadn't seen in a long time.

His face was no longer that weak, pale color, but rather a healthy rosy glow. Standing there, his posture was upright, and there was no trace of his former sickly appearance.

"Si Nian?" she called out tentatively.

Qiao Sinian looked at her, a gentle smile slowly curving his lips, and replied in a deep voice, "It's me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Xiaoman's tears instantly welled up.

Unable to contain her excitement any longer, she ran towards him and threw herself into his arms.

Qiao Sinian also opened his arms and caught her steadily.

Not far away, the four little ones watched the two embracing, covering their mouths and secretly laughing, their faces showing the smugness of a successful plan and full of blessings.

Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou, who were standing to the side, looked at the two people hugging each other, and then, thinking about the unusually excited and mysterious behavior of the four little ones today, they instantly understood.

Su Yutang pretended to be angry, looking down at the little ones who were secretly laughing: "You little devils, you even kept it from Mommy?"

Erbao chuckled and quickly explained, "Oh, Mommy, don't be angry. We just received a message from Bai Dushou saying that Uncle Si Nian's health has almost recovered. So, as soon as we got the message, we immediately brought Aunt Xiaoman over."

Sanbao nodded vigorously in agreement: "Yes, yes, we didn't tell you so that we could give Aunt Xiaoman a surprise."

Sibao blinked her big eyes and said with a grin, "Look how happy Aunt Xiaoman is now!"

Su Yutang wasn't really blaming them. Looking at the little ones' excited and slightly smug faces, she smiled helplessly: "You little rascals, your mouths are getting tighter and tighter."

Such great news, and they managed to keep it all under wraps without letting a word out.

She looked down to confirm, "So, Uncle Sinian is completely cured?"

Da Bao replied, "Anyway, Bai Du Shou said that the toxins in Uncle Si Nian's body have been mostly cleared, his life is out of danger, and his bodily functions are recovering. As for whether there will be any residual toxins or recurrence, he said that as long as he is still alive, he can handle it and will not let Uncle Si Nian get into any trouble."

Erbao quickly added, his little face full of relief: "Yes, Baidushou even made a special guarantee that Uncle Si Nian no longer needs to go into seclusion. He can go out and move around like a normal person and go wherever he wants."

Upon hearing this, Su Yutang finally felt completely relieved. "That is indeed a good thing."

Seeing Wen Xiaoman's tears of joy, as if she had been reborn, and then looking at Qiao Sinian's radiant spirit and the renewed sparkle in his eyes, Su Yutang felt a sense of relief.

The huge weight that had been pressing on my heart for so long finally lifted off my feet.

Bo Jingzhou looked at the group and said in a low voice, "I've heard that the food at this temple is delicious. It's almost lunchtime, so I'll take you there to try it."

Upon hearing this, Erbao immediately pouted, looking incredulous: "Daddy, this is a temple! Vegetables, tofu, and white rice, how delicious can it be?"

He didn't believe that bland, watery food could taste good.

Bo Jingzhou's expression remained unchanged: "How will you know it's not delicious if you don't try it?"

While Erbao was still frowning and struggling, Dabao had already instantly grasped his father's deeper meaning.

He whispered a reminder: "Erbao, you're so silly. Daddy is telling us to make room quickly. Can't you see that Uncle Si Nian and Aunt Xiao Man still have a lot to say? Let's go quickly, don't stay here and be third wheels."

After Da Bao's reminder, the other three Xiao Bao immediately realized what was going on and turned to look at the two people hugging each other, surrounded by pink bubbles.

"Oh, I see~" Erbao drawled, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Okay, okay, considering how hard Uncle Sinian and Aunt Xiaoman have worked, we won't be third wheels~"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go eat vegetarian food!"

The four little ones immediately became incredibly "well-behaved," trotting along obediently behind Bo Jingzhou and Su Yutang as they left.

......

Over there, Wen Xiaoman was still nestled in Qiao Sinian's arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, as if she wanted to make up for all the separation and worry of these past few days through this embrace.

Qiao Sinian hugged her back tightly, his chin gently resting on the top of her head, feeling the real warmth in his arms and the complete satisfaction of having regained what he had lost.

After a long while, Wen Xiaoman stepped back slightly, raised her head, and cupped Qiao Sinian's face in her hands. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she carefully stroked his brow bone, eye sockets, bridge of his nose, and then his slightly thin cheeks.

Her gaze lingered greedily on his face, as if trying to confirm that the person in front of her was not an illusion.
