Chapter 268: Back to Bay Villa

Meanwhile, at Qin Corporation’s CEO Office.

During this period when little one wasn’t at Bay Villa, Qin Haochen didn’t make a special trip back there at noon anymore.

When He Yan knocked on the door, Qin Haochen was still sitting at his desk dealing with official business. Without raising his head, his deep eyes scanned through the documents in his hand, "Come in."

He Yan opened the office door and walked to the opposite side where the CEO was seated, reporting, "Sir, Old Mr. Ye’s assistant Jie Hansi called, saying that the painter Zhu Xiulin saw the painting drawn by Miss Ann and is looking for her."

Concerning little one, Qin Haochen paused his pen, raised his gaze, "When did this happen?"

He Yan had already thoroughly inquired about the matter and answered quickly and meticulously, "Ou Yangfu, the young master of the Ou family, just mentioned it to Mr. Rongyuan this afternoon after one o’clock." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Qin Haochen glanced at the time; it was just past two in the afternoon. In such a short time, the Ye family sent someone to deliver the message, proving that their attitude towards him had softened slightly.

Qin Haochen quickly made a decision and instructed He Yan, "Go investigate."

No need for further explanation, He Yan naturally understood, "Yes, sir."

After He Yan left the office, Qin Haochen didn’t continue with the documents but instead closed them and took out his phone. With a tap of his fingertips, he awakened the screen, revealing a wallpaper of little one’s cute smiling face.

His lips unconsciously curled upwards as he gazed at the image of little one on the wallpaper. It seemed like this photo had a magical effect; just by looking at it for a moment, Qin Haochen felt all the fatigue in his body disappear, and he didn’t feel tired at all.

Little one had been staying at the Ye family’s place for a few days. According to their previous agreement, it was time to bring little one back to Bay Villa.

Thinking that he would soon see little one, the smile on Qin Haochen’s lips became even more pronounced.

Qin Sui’an had a comfortable nap, sleeping peacefully for an hour. She groggily opened her eyes and first saw her grandmother.

Old Mrs. Ye was sitting between the small bed and the hospital bed, one hand supporting her chin, eyes closed as if she was also dozing during their nap.

Before fully waking from her drowsiness, Qin Sui’an softly greeted without disturbing her grandmother, "Grandma~"

After exchanging greetings with her grandmother, Qin Sui’an carefully climbed down from her small bed. Despite her gentle movements, Old Mrs. Ye was a light sleeper and woke up immediately.

Opening her eyes, she saw Qin Sui’an moving towards her mother’s side. Old Mrs. Ye’s lips curved upwards, silently watching Qin Sui’an without disturbing her, displaying a quiet and gentle demeanor.

As usual, Qin Sui’an held her mother’s hand under the blanket and spoke in her soft, sweet voice, "Mommy, good afternoon~ Ann woke up from her nap~"

The smile in Old Mrs. Ye’s eyes deepened a bit.

After chatting with her mom for a while, Qin Sui’an prepared to leave the room. As she turned around, she saw her grandmother was awake and happily rushed over, "Grandma, good afternoon~"

"Good afternoon, Ann." Old Mrs. Ye extended her arms and securely embraced the adorable little one.

She stood up while holding Qin Sui’an, gently saying as they walked out of the room, "Ann, let’s call your dad, and after dinner, we’ll send you back to Bay Villa."

"Okay~" Qin Sui’an nodded obediently with her little head.
