Beloved One of the Prestigious Household

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...

Chapter 58: Ann Is the Only Girl in the Qin Family

Qin Sui’an carefully took off the Buddhist beads and put them back on his Eldest Brother’s hand.

He gently touched them and said, "Eldest Brother really likes this string of Buddhist beads. Eldest Brother should keep it for himself."

She often saw her Eldest Brother playing with these beads, just like how she loved the silver bracelet that her parents gave her.

She would often touch the bracelet lovingly!

Qin Fujia suddenly felt a twinge of guilt.

He wanted to give Ann the Buddhist beads to protect her from impurities, but Ann innocently and purely thought that she couldn’t accept them because they were his favorite beads.

A calm wave rippled in his eyes, and Qin Fujia gently embraced her small body before softly saying, "Listen to Ann."

He no longer thought about putting the beads on her, his gaze slowly shifting towards the big white goose, his eyes narrowed as if contemplating something.

The big white goose sensed the approaching danger and trembled, taking a few steps back.

In the next moment, it hurriedly fled from the flower bushes to another place.

Qin Qianyi had just left the ice cellar and happened to see the big white goose running as if it were being chased.

He furrowed his brows in confusion and walked towards the garden.

"Eldest Brother, what happened to the big white goose?"

Qin Qianyi approached the flower bushes, squatting down and curiously asking, "I saw it running so fast, is the bodyguard preparing to catch and eat it?"

Qin Fujia hadn’t had a chance to respond to his Sixth Brother’s words when Qin Sui’an, Ann, anxiously spoke up.

She anxiously waved her little hands and said in a childish voice, "Can’t eat the big white goose! Daddy said, don’t eat the big white goose!"

"Oh, we won’t eat it, won’t eat the big white goose."

Qin Qianyi immediately changed his words, "Maybe I saw it wrong, Ann’s big white goose, the bodyguards wouldn’t dare to touch it."

Qin Sui’an patted her little belly, feeling relieved.

"The big white goose is very well-behaved, don’t eat it, okay?"

"Yes, yes, just as well-behaved as Ann."

Qin Qianyi smiled and then asked, "Hey, Ann, Eldest Brother, what are you doing hiding in the flower bushes?"

"Sitting and resting."

Qin Fujia saw his restlessness and excessive talking, so he said, "If you want, come in."

Cough... "It’s better to obey than to be respectful."

Qin Qianyi eagerly squeezed into the flower bushes, looking around.

"This place is nice, it feels like a feng shui treasure land.

No wonder Ann likes to stay here."

Qin Fujia’s eyelid twitched.

"Why do you say that?"

Could his Sixth Brother actually sense the presence of spiritual energy?

Qin Qianyi noticed his Eldest Brother’s serious gaze and pointed around, "Eldest Brother, don’t you feel comfortable staying here?"

A gentle breeze blew, the sunlight scattered, and the air was pleasant.

Even the grass beneath their bottoms was soft and comfortable.

"Oh."

Qin Fujia’s anticipation fell flat.

Indeed, he had overestimated his Sixth Brother.

Seeing his disappointment, Qin Fujia was puzzled.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No."

Qin Fujia gently rubbed Ann’s little head and then looked at his Sixth Brother.

"You stay with Ann, I’ll go back to the room for a moment."

"Okay! Eldest Brother, go ahead."

Qin Qianyi happily moved closer to Ann, his face beaming with a smile.

"Ann, what shall we play in the flower bushes?"

Qin Sui’an shook her little head.

"Ann doesn’t know."

Her gaze fell on her Eldest Brother’s hand, and she reached out her little hand to hold it, her eyebrows slowly furrowing.

"Sixth Brother, you’re hurt again."

Qin Qianyi, who had punched Zong Jianren three times, hadn’t even noticed the slight redness in his joints.

Seeing Ann’s serious expression, Qin Qianyi quickly said, "Oh, this little injury, if Ann had noticed it a bit later, it would have healed completely."

Qin Sui’an gently blew on his reddened joints.

"It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt."

The silver bracelet received its young owner’s command and emitted a faint light, covering Qin Qianyi’s fist.

A warm breath sprayed onto his knuckles, tickling and soothing, and Qin Qianyi felt a warm happiness in his heart.

Although it felt good to be worried about by Ann, Qin Qianyi couldn’t bear it.

He coaxed her, "Wow, Ann, it really doesn’t hurt anymore. Look, it’s not red anymore."

He just casually said that, but when he lowered his head to look at his own fist, it really wasn’t red anymore, and there was no pain from the abrasion.

Qin Sui’an also saw it, her round eyes curved.

"Okay!"

"Wow, Sh–" Damn it! Realizing that Ann was still young, Qin Qianyi held back the second half of the word.

He was dumbfounded, looking at Ann’s silver bracelet, "It’s truly divine!" Just like last time, a gentle blow on her hand and the injury healed.

Apart from his abrupt exclamation, Qin Sui’an also heard another voice: "Oh my, Ann, this silver bracelet of yours carries quite a story!" It was the voice of the old man.

Qin Sui’an instinctively raised her little head, her round eyes nervously looking at her Eldest Brother.

Qin Qianyi, meeting her slightly flustered gaze, thought he had scared her with his rough words and quickly softened his voice, "What’s wrong, Ann?"

Qin Sui’an pursed her small lips and gently shook her head.

Did her Eldest Brother hear the voice of the old man or not?

Seeing that Ann was worried her Sixth Brother might have heard his voice, the old man smiled and reassured her, "Haha, don’t worry, Ann. Only you can hear my voice among your entire family. Naturally, your Sixth Brother can’t hear it either." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Qin Sui’an breathed a sigh of relief but a new doubt arose.

Then why did the grandfather always leave when her Eldest Brother was around?

If her Eldest Brother was present, they could continue their conversation without interruption.

"Your Eldest Brother is a monk, and he possesses such powerful Buddhist light. If I don’t leave, I’ll be reduced to ashes, unable to be reincarnated."

Just the thought of it sent shivers down the old man’s spine.

His temporary decision not to be reincarnated didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid of being reduced to ashes.

After being reincarnated, all memories would be wiped clean.

He wanted to wait and see how the future generations of the Qin family would develop, and also check if their bloodline was cursed.

Why weren’t there any girls among them?

Thinking of this, the old man looked at the pure and adorable little milk bun, and once again sighed, "If only Ann were a girl in our family."

Qin Sui’an didn’t quite understand the meaning of the old man’s words, such as "reduced to ashes" and "reincarnation", but she could sense the fear the old man had towards her Eldest Brother.

She wrinkled her little nose and softly retorted in her childish voice, "Eldest Brother isn’t scary!"

Her Eldest Brother was gentle! He even gave Ann his favorite Buddhist beads! "Ann, your Eldest Brother, he..."

The old man was about to say that the bald young man wasn’t really a good person but only appeared harmless in front of Ann.

He didn’t continue his sentence, so as not to upset Ann.

Qin Qianyi, upon hearing Ann suddenly uttering such a random statement, had a curious expression on his face.

He hadn’t Eldest Brother to Ann, so why did she say that her Eldest Brother wasn’t scary?

Qin Qianyi carefully observed Ann’s small expression, and she seemed to be engaged in a conversation with someone.
