Qin Haochen couldn’t put his mind at ease without seeing his little one in person. As for the meeting, there was no question—it would be postponed. In his view, nothing was more important than his little one.

Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes, then shook her head gently. "Daddy, keep working. Ann is fine."

She didn’t want to interrupt her daddy’s work.

Hearing this, Qin Haochen was caught off guard, momentarily stunned. "Ann... did you hear that?"

Didn’t Yanyi say that during phone calls, little one couldn’t hear thoughts?

"I heard it." Qin Sui’an nodded earnestly, worried that he wouldn’t believe her, so she repeated, "Daddy said you’d head home directly, and the meeting would be postponed."

She summarized it perfectly.

Even someone as experienced as Qin Haochen found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

Little one really heard everything.

Qin Sui’an fiddled lightly with the edge of the phone screen, murmuring softly, "Ann doesn’t know why she could hear it either... When second brother was talking to big brother on the phone, Ann didn’t hear big brother’s thoughts."

Qin Haochen slowly gathered his thoughts.

Perhaps it was because he and little one were on a video call? Since little one could see him, she could also hear his thoughts?

Qin Yanyi had already informed Qin Haochen about their discovery that little one could hear others’ thoughts. Initially, they believed that little one could only hear thoughts when someone was close by, but now there seemed to be another possibility—if little one could see the person, she could also hear their thoughts.

As Qin Haochen pondered this, Qin Sui’an blinked her eyes, looking a bit confused.

Then, her eyes gradually brightened, and she looked at her daddy on the other side of the screen with admiration, exclaiming in her soft voice, "Daddy is so smart and amazing!"

Qin Haochen couldn’t help but smile, feeling very pleased with little one’s praise.

He decided to set aside the issue of the thoughts for now and noticed that little one was in her bedroom, not looking as if she had just woken up from a nap.

He asked gently, "Ann, are you sleepy?"

"Mm-hmm, I’m sleepy~" Qin Sui’an responded first, then her big, round eyes sparkled as she looked at her daddy, adding, "Daddy is really smart! Ann hasn’t taken her nap yet~"

Qin Haochen felt as if he were floating on clouds, his smile deepening. "Then Ann should take her nap first."

Qin Sui’an wiggled her little body and snuggled into her bed, reluctant to end the video call. She kept her eyes on the screen, watching her daddy.

Even though she really wanted her daddy to come home and be with her, Ann obediently said, "Daddy, Ann will take a nap. You should work well and not worry about Ann."

Qin Haochen could hear the reluctance in little one’s voice. Through the screen, he gently touched her little cheek with his thumb.

He said, "Daddy doesn’t want to hang up. I want to keep watching Ann. You sleep, and when you’re asleep, Daddy will hang up."

This was exactly what Qin Sui’an wanted. Her round eyes curved into a smile as she nodded happily. "Okay~"

Qin Haochen watched as little one slowly drifted off to sleep, her hands gradually loosening their grip on the phone.

Just as the phone was about to slip from its little owner’s hands and fall onto the pillow, Old Mrs. Qin stepped in and caught it.

She whispered softly, "Ann’s asleep."

"Mom." Qin Haochen, focused solely on his little one, hadn’t noticed that his mother was there off-screen.
