Three-and-a-half-year-old little girl, also known as Ann, lived a life of scarcity and hardship in an orphanage, where even a single steamed bun could lead to beatings and scoldings from the headma...
"Father, I didn’t use any force, I didn’t use any strength at all!"
Qin Qianyi quickly raised his hand and swore, fearing that his hand would be injured.
Qin Sui’an shook her little head and gently patted her daddy’s hand, soothingly saying, "Daddy, Ann is not hurt! Sixth Brother didn’t use any force!"
Qin Haochen’s expression softened a lot as he continued to feed her, saying, "Good girl, come, have some eggs."
Qin Qianyi glanced at the time, "Oh, Grandfather is probably going to wake up soon. I have to go to school first. Goodbye, Ann! Father, Eldest Brother, goodbye!"
With that, he rushed out as if something big would happen if he was a bit slower.
"Goodbye, Sixth Brother!"
Qin Sui’an waved her little hand towards his departing figure.
Then, she asked in confusion, "Daddy, is Sixth Brother afraid of Grandfather?"
But Grandfather is not scary, why is Sixth Brother afraid of him? She couldn’t understand.
Qin Haochen smiled softly and said, "He did something wrong at school and is afraid of being scolded by your grandfather."
"Oh!!"
Qin Sui’an patted her little tummy and murmured in her sweet voice, "Ann didn’t do anything wrong, Grandpa won’t scold Ann..."
Qin Haochen chuckled at her words.
After feeding Ann’s tummy, Qin Haochen tidied up the remaining food and wiped her mouth.
He asked, "Does Ann still want to accompany Daddy to work today?"
The company is boring, it’s all work and nothing else.
He was afraid that Ann would find it too dull.
Qin Sui’an’s little eyebrows furrowed slowly, showing her dilemma.
She pursed her little mouth seriously.
After a while, she slightly shook her little head, "Ann doesn’t want to."
She said it very softly as if she had gone through a fierce struggle in her heart.
Qin Haochen rubbed her little head and understood her inner conflict.
He asked, "Why?"
"Daddy needs to work, and Ann will disturb Daddy’s work."
Qin Sui’an leaned into his embrace and said in a low voice, "Ann wants to be with Daddy, but it’s not allowed."
Even though he was prepared to be rejected by Ann, Qin Haochen never expected that the reason for her refusal would be this.
"Daddy also wants to be with Ann."
Qin Haochen hugged Ann and kissed her little cheek, his eyes filled with reluctance and doting.
He whispered, "Then Daddy will finish work early today and come home to accompany Ann."
Qin Sui’an immediately nodded happily, "Okay!"
At 8:30 in the morning, Qin Haochen sat in the backseat of the Bentley.
The backseat window rolled down, and he looked at Ann beside the car, waving his hand, "Goodbye, Ann."
"Goodbye, Daddy!"
Qin Sui’an also raised her little hand and waved, "Ann will miss Daddy! Daddy, work well!"
With the adorable and sensible little milk ball reflected in his deep eyes, Qin Haochen slightly raised his lips, "All right, Daddy will miss Ann too."
Qin Fuji stood by Qin Sui’an’s side, gently rubbing her head, and looked at Qin Haochen in the car.
He said, "Dad, don’t worry, we have me and Grandfather at home."
Qin Haochen nodded, "Okay, take good care of Ann."
After a while, the Bentley left the villa in the bay.
Qin Sui’an kept staring in the direction where the car disappeared.
Slowly, her little shoulders drooped, and her little mouth formed a straight line.
Qin Sui’an reached out her little hand and patted her own tummy, softly comforting herself in her sweet voice, "Ann, be good, wait for Daddy to finish work..."
Qin Fujia crouched down, seeing her face filled with reluctance, and gently embraced her, saying, "Does Ann want to watch TV or play something? Eldest Brother will accompany you."
Qin Sui’an shook her little head, saying seriously, "Eldest Brother wants to chant and meditate."
She didn’t forget that her Eldest Brother sat on the sofa early in the morning, chanting and meditating with the big white goose.
"It’s okay, let’s not chant and meditate for now."
Qin Fujia reached out his hands towards her, "Ann, do you want Eldest Brother to hug you?"
"Yes," Qin Sui’an didn’t hesitate and took two small steps forward, leaning into her Eldest Brother’s embrace.
She sniffed with force, enjoying the pleasant scent of her Eldest Brother, which made her feel comfortable and less sad about her daddy’s departure.
The silver bracelet on her wrist collided with her Eldest Brother’s Buddhist beads, making a dull sound.
Qin Sui’an lowered his head and then raised her little face, looking at her Eldest Brother and saying, "Eldest Brother, Ann wants to go to the garden!"
In the garden, the big white goose feeds on spiritual energy, and her silver bracelet also needs to absorb spiritual energy.
"Very well."
Qin Fujia lifted her up and stood up, walking slowly towards the garden.
In the garden, several bodyguards were busy moving back and forth, and professional gardeners were also present, trimming and replanting a flower bed.
At the center of their attention was a majestic big white goose.
The big white goose seemed to be aware of its esteemed position in the Bay Villa, as the bodyguards dared not harm or bully it, treating it with utmost respect.
Now, with so many people surrounding it, it showed no signs of fear.
The big white goose squatted in the middle, its small eyes the size of beans closed, and its long white neck occasionally swayed from side to side, as if it were asleep.
As if sensing the arrival of a human baby, the big white goose opened its eyes and honked twice in Qin Sui’an’s direction, greeting her.
Qin Sui’an looked around at the busy uncles, puzzled.
The big white goose explained, "Ga! Little Ann, your father asked them to expand this flower bed."
Expanding it would be good, as it would provide a more spacious area for the goose, no longer needing to hide in the flower bed.
Qin Sui’an suddenly realized that her daddy had mentioned it to her last night.
She curved her round eyes, feeling very happy.
Indeed, her daddy was amazing! And her daddy never lied to Ann!
The sky went from being faintly bright to now being bathed in warm sunlight, illuminating the earth.
Qin Fujia looked up at the dazzling sun, then glanced at the little arms and legs exposed outside of Qin Sui’an’s dress in his arms.
After a few seconds of contemplation, he was still worried about the sun burning Qin Sui’an’s delicate skin, so he said to her, "Ann, I’ll go get a parasol."
Qin Sui’an nodded her little head, "Okay, Eldest Brother, Ann will wait for you here."
"All right."
Qin Fujia crouched down, placing her in a shady spot, gently rubbing her little head, and then quickly walked towards the direction of the villa.
Not long after Qin Fujia left, Qin Sui’an heard an unfamiliar voice: "Oh my, that bald young man finally left... shining with a radiant Buddhist light, truly intimidating, I almost thought I would be reduced to ashes."
Qin Sui’an carefully looked around in all directions, making sure that the other uncles were at a distance from her and not speaking to her, her round eyes widening in fear.
This voice was the same one she had heard when she woke up in the morning.
