Qin Sui’an was in a state between half-dream and half-awake, her little head muddled.

Upon hearing the question from her Sixth Brother, she murmured softly, "Mommy... big white goose..."

Qin Qianyi carefully listened and only heard these five words.

Qin Qianyi didn’t have much emotional reliance on his nominal mother, Ye Chaosi.

The siblings were accustomed to independence, and familial affection wasn’t particularly significant to them.

Moreover, before Ye Chaosi married Qin Haochen, their lives as siblings didn’t include the role of a "mother".

Qin Qianyi couldn’t quite understand why Ann suddenly mentioned her mother.

Was she missing her?

Just as he was about to ask, he turned his head and saw Ann leaning against his shoulder, her small mouth slightly open, sleeping soundly.

Qin Qianyi silently smiled, didn’t say anything, slowed his pace, and proceeded toward the direction of the villa at a turtle’s pace.

Little sisters, they were truly wonderful creatures.

Qin Huo and Lan Jin stood at the villa gate, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

"What is this boy dawdling about? Is he intentionally walking so slowly?"

Qin Huo tightly gripped his cane, anxiously furrowing his brow.

Lan Jin comforted him, saying, "Don’t worry, be patient."

As they saw the figure of their grandson Qin Qianyi finally appear around the corner ahead, Qin Huo couldn’t wait any longer and approached him with his cane.

Of course, he was welcoming his precious granddaughter.

As he got closer, Qin Huo was about to scold his grandson for walking so slowly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly noticed his sleeping precious granddaughter resting on his grandson’s shoulder, causing all his words to be swallowed back.

He immediately stood still, not making any footsteps, and used his gaze to communicate with his grandson: How long has Ann been sleeping?

"About half an hour," Qin Qianyi replied in a lowered voice, "I took her to play basketball."

Qin Huo glared at him disapprovingly, "Ann is so young, playing basketball is too dangerous! What if something accidentally hit her? What would we do then?"

Qin Qianyi reassured him, "Don’t worry, Grandfather, I was with her. Ann didn’t get hurt, she had a great time playing."

Only because he was there, did Qin Huo feel at ease.

This grandson of his was really unreliable!

Qin Qianyi looked up at the sky, which was gradually darkening.

Thinking that it was almost time for dinner, he didn’t enter the villa and couldn’t bear to wake up his sleeping sister.

So, he walked around the villa with her on his back, circling it again and again.

Seeing this, Qin Huo didn’t say anything, but anxiously watched him, afraid that he might stumble and accidentally hurt his precious granddaughter.

Lan Jin shook her head and chuckled softly, saying, "His legs are much more capable than yours, don’t worry unnecessarily."

Qin Huo felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Little Jin spoke the truth.

Qin Haochen returned home before sunset.

As the car entered the Bay Villa, Qin Sui’an, who had just woken up from a nap, slowly regained consciousness.

She rubbed her eyes and, in her sweet and sleepy voice, called out, "Daddy..."

Qin Qianyi turned his head to look at her and smiled, "Ann, your ears are really sharp. Daddy’s car just arrived."

Returning to the villa gate, the car had also come to a stop.

Qin Haochen opened the door and got out, with a clear goal in mind.

He strode over to Ann with joy and extended his long arms to embrace her.

Seeing her rosy cheeks and slightly dazed eyes, Qin Haochen indulgently smiled, "Did Ann just wake up?"

"Yes... I got tired from playing basketball," Qin Sui’an leaned against his embrace, her round eyes crescent-shaped like a moon.

To wake up and see her father, was truly a moment of happiness!

Qin Haochen carried her into the villa and never left her side, accompanying her throughout the evening.

Regarding the matter of attending kindergarten, Qin Haochen had initially planned to delay it for another semester.

However, when Ann mentioned her desire to go to kindergarten earlier, he began preparing for it.

Qin Haochen organized the information of several well-reputed kindergartens, took out the one prepared for Ann, and opened it for her to see, saying, "Ann, take a look at these photos. Which one do you like more?"

They were photos of various kindergarten environments, including some taken during class.

Qin Sui’an curiously flipped through them and asked earnestly, "Daddy, is this a kindergarten?"

"Yes, there are several kindergartens here. Ann, take a look and see which one you prefer."

Qin Sui’an was looking at the photos of the kindergarten, while Qin Huo, Lan Jin, and Qin Qianyi sat beside him, examining the information about several kindergartens.

Qin Qianyi quickly glanced and remarked, "There doesn’t seem to be much difference."

Selected from thousands of kindergartens, these must be top-tier establishments.

Qin Huo’s expression turned serious as he focused on reviewing the information of each kindergarten, determined to scrutinize every detail.

After all, his precious granddaughter was about to start her journey in kindergarten, and there was no room for carelessness.

Lan Jin noticed something familiar and pointed to one of the kindergartens, asking, "Is this where the child from the Shi family attends?"

Qin Haochen glanced and nodded, saying, "Yes, it is."

"I think this one is good. It would be perfect for our little Ann to get along with Yinyin," Lan Jin recalled that during the banquet, Shi Yiyin spent quite a long time with Ann.

According to the report from the bodyguards, Shi Yiyin also liked their Ann.

Most importantly, Lan Jin had a strong impression of Shi Yiyin.

She was a spirited young girl, and with her around, their precious granddaughter wouldn’t have to worry about being bullied by others who lacked insight.

Lan Jin put down the documents and turned her gaze toward her granddaughter, her eyes filled with tenderness.

The worries from a moment ago vanished, and she changed her mind, saying, "Let Ann choose the kindergarten she likes."

Anyone who dared to bully her precious granddaughter would have to face her wrath, even if it meant going against her old bones.

Upon hearing her grandmother’s words, Qin Qianyi chuckled, "Grandma, you’re so flexible."

Lan Jin clicked her tongue and corrected her sternly, "I am a person with very strong principles."

Her principal was her precious granddaughter.

Qin Qianyi saw through her but didn’t expose it, simply nodding in agreement, "Yes, yes."

Qin Sui’an flipped through the photos with great interest, taking his time to look at all the kindergarten pictures.

Qin Haochen asked softly, "Which one does Ann like?"

With her little finger, Qin Sui’an pointed to one of the kindergarten photos and raised her cute face, pursing her lips as she said, "Ann likes this one."

"Good, then it’s settled," Qin Haochen glanced at the name of that kindergarten and asked He Yan to make the arrangements.

Qin Huo looked at his granddaughter and happily exclaimed, "Ann has great taste! I also like this kindergarten!"

Qin Qianyi glanced at the name of the kindergarten, then at his grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, you haven’t even started reviewing the information of this kindergarten yet."
