Upon hearing her question, the old man burst into laughter, "Haha. That’s right."

"Oh!" Qin Sui’an suddenly realized, "The old man is Grandpa’s friend, so you stay at Grandpa’s house."

"Your Grandpa’s house is also my home!"

If it weren’t for the Buddha’s disciple and the righteous disciple, he would have had the freedom to come and go in this house.

As the saying goes, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."

Qin Sui’an suddenly turned his little head and looked towards the villa gate, "Eldest Brother is back!"

"Your Eldest Brother? I.."

The old man almost couldn’t resist swearing in front of Ann.

He blew his mustache and glared, "I was just chatting with Ann for a moment! How did he come back so quickly?"

Sensing an undeniable restaurant of enlightenment coming from outside, the old man couldn’t bear it any longer and hastily said to Ann, "Ann, I’ll go somewhere else for a stroll."

Before his words had even finished, Qin Sui’an felt a gust of wind blowing by, and the voice of the old man disappeared.

Qin Fujia had left early yesterday morning and only returned to Bay Villa now.

As he got out of the car, his steps slowed down.

Before he could enter the villa, a small figure suddenly rushed towards him.

Qin Fujia reacted quickly, immediately crouching down and securely catching this tiny figure.

Although Qin Sui’an was small in size, she ran very fast.

She pounced into her Eldest Brother’s embrace, her sweet voice filled with joy, "Good evening, Eldest Brother!"

"Ann, good evening."

Qin Fujia lifted her up and gently patted her little head, "Have you had dinner?"

"Ann has eaten!"

Qin Sui’an replied in a childish voice, "Daddy, Grandpa, Grandma, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and Sixth Brother are still having their dinner!"

Qin Fujia glanced in the direction of the dining hall.

It seemed he wasn’t the last one to return home; the fifth brother hadn’t come back yet.

Tomorrow was the Qin family banquet, and as members of the Qin family, they naturally couldn’t miss such an important event.

Qin Sui’an noticed the Buddhist beads on her Eldest Brother’s wrist and looked up at him, saying, "Eldest Brother gave Ann a talisman, it’s in the room!"

The old man told her that she didn’t need to carry the talisman with her, and otherwise, she couldn’t play with the old man.

"That’s fine too."

Qin Fujia didn’t ask her to carry it with her anymore because he already knew who that dirty thing...No, that ghost was.

As long as it didn’t harm Ann, it was fine.

Qin Fujia looked around, realizing that no one else was accompanying Ann.

So, was it that ghost who had come again?

He cautiously asked, "Ann, did the old man play chess with you again?"

"No!"

Qin Sui’an shook her little head, "The old man has been very happy recently and doesn’t need Ann to play chess with him anymore!"

"He’s happy?"

Qin Fujia raised an eyebrow gently, looking at the adorable Ann in his arms, as if he could guess why the old man was happy.

Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes and said earnestly, "Yes! Eldest Brother, the old man also said that Grandpa is his friend!"

Hearing this, Qin Fujia couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "That’s how he told Ann."

Why hadn’t the old man told Ann the truth yet?

Qin Sui’an chatted happily with her Eldest Brother, but suddenly, she realized something and nervously looked at him with her round eyes, "Eldest Brother, do you know the old man?"

"Yes, I know now."

Qin Fujia couldn’t bear to see her anxious gaze and spoke softly, "It’s nothing to worry about, Ann. As long as the old man doesn’t harm you, I won’t harm the old man either."

"The old man is very good and won’t harm Ann!"

Qin Sui’an immediately said, "Sister Xinxin wanted Ann to climb the balcony by stepping on a small stool, but the old man told Ann that it was very dangerous! So Ann didn’t climb the stool!"

Qin Fujia’s expression suddenly turned serious, "Climbing a stool, climbing the balcony?"

This was something they had never known about.

He tried to steady his emotions and asked, "Ann, did this happen when you went to Xinxin’s room?"

"Yes, in the beginning, the little apple was placed high and far on the balcony, and Ann couldn’t reach it!"

Qin Sui’an shuddered, touching the little apple hanging around her neck.

Qin Fujia understood now.

So, when Ann was upstairs, she experienced such a dangerous situation.

Perhaps the big white goose sensed something in Bay Villa and led his grandparents to the Shao family.

As soon as they arrived, the first thing the big white goose did was rush up the stairs.

This matter is no longer as simple as stealing the little apple necklace.

Qin Fujia suppressed the surging anger in his heart and stayed with Ann in the living room for a while.

When the others finished dinner and came to the living room one by one, Qin Fujia stood up and approached Qin Haochen. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

Qin Haochen glanced at him and nodded gently.

"Let’s talk in the study."

The two of them left the living room, one after the other, and Lan Jin glanced at them several times.

Is their eldest grandson in a bad mood?

Why does he have such a gloomy expression as soon as he returns home?

Qin Qianyi also noticed and became curious.

"What does Eldest Brother want to discuss with Dad so secretly?"

If Eldest Brother is usually calm and composed, shows this expression, then it must be related to Ann!

Qin Qianyi slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Smart, I’m so smart!" It must be!

Qin Yanyi glanced at his Sixth Brother, who was sitting beside him with a smug look and felt speechless about his behavior.

What is this Sixth Brother so jumpy about?

Qin Qianyi was extremely conflicted.

He wanted to go upstairs and eavesdrop.

After all, Ann’s matter is his matter too!

The conflict lasted no more than three seconds.

Qin Qianyi had just finished slapping his thigh when he suddenly stood up again.

"I feel a bit full. I’ll go for a walk outside."

He just casually made up an excuse, but he didn’t expect someone to pick up on his words.

"Sixth Brother, Ann’s is also a bit full!"

Qin Sui’an quickly got off the sofa and hurriedly went to the side of her Sixth Brother.

She tilted her little face and blinked her round eyes, her sweet voice sounding adorable.

"Sixth Brother, can Ann come along?"

"Of course."

Qin Qianyi felt like crying, "You can!"

How could he bear to refuse Ann?

The original plan to eavesdrop was declared a failure due to Ann’s sudden inclusion.

As night fell, the streetlights along the roads of Bay Villa lit up.

From a distance, it looked like a mysterious and upscale peach blossom forest, completely isolating the hustle and bustle of the city.

Qin Sui’an, with her little belly protruding, leisurely followed her Sixth Brother.

On the tenth time, she noticed her Sixth Brother looking up at the second floor of the villa, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity any longer.

She looked at her Sixth Brother, her round eyes filled with doubt.

"Is Sixth Brother planning to go to the second floor of the villa?"

Qin Qianyi panicked for a moment.

"Ah, what? The second floor of the villa? Haha, no, I wasn’t thinking about going there."

Was he being too obvious?

"Then why does Sixth Brother keep circling the villa with Ann?"

Qin Sui’an raised her little hands and gestured.

"This is the tenth round!"
