"It’s Xinxin!" Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen exchanged a glance and hurriedly ran upstairs.

Qin Qianyi looked in the direction of the stairs, furrowing his brows involuntarily.

Even though his father had gone upstairs to find Ann, he still felt a bit worried.

Qin Fujia glanced at his Sixth Brother.

Receiving the silent signal from his Eldest Brother, Qin Qianyi refrained from saying more and simply said, "Grandfather, grandmother, I’ll go upstairs to take a look. You can wait here, don’t worry."

After uttering these words, Qin Qianyi quickly ascended the stairs.

Third floor.

As soon as Qin Haochen reached the third floor, he saw Ann running out of one of the rooms.

"Daddy!" Qin Sui’an ran into his father’s arms, tightly hugging him with his little hands, pouting and speaking in a childish voice, expressing both anger and grievance.

"Daddy, Ann saw a little apple! It’s placed on a high railing, and Ann can’t reach it. Sister Xinxin won’t let Ann leave! She said if Ann leaves, she’ll throw the little apple downstairs!"

Three-and-a-half-year-old Ann’s voice was sweet, but her words were clear.

She looked up with an anxious expression and said, "Daddy, the little apple is very dangerous!"

Qin Haochen held Ann tightly in his arms, listening to his words, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

High railing, throwing down the stairs...

Connecting these keywords, it was not difficult to imagine that Ann was in great danger.

If he hadn’t made it in time, would it have been Ann who was thrown down the stairs?

Qin Haochen didn’t dare to dwell on these thoughts.

He gently patted Ann’s back, maintaining a gentle tone despite his own fear, and comforted him, "Don’t worry, Ann, the little apple is a diamond. Even if it’s thrown from upstairs, it won’t break."

Qin Sui’an blinked his round eyes, slightly surprised, "Even falling from such a height, the little apple won’t get hurt?"

"No, diamonds are the hardest substance in the world. The little apple is very safe."

Qin Haochen patiently explained, while inspecting Ann’s small body up and down.

"Ann, did she do anything else to you?"

Qin Sui’an raised his little hand, "Sister Xinxin wanted to take Ann to the balcony. There’s a small stool on the balcony, and it’s very dangerous."

Qin Haochen’s movements paused, emotions surging in his deep gaze.

Considering Ann, he suppressed his anger and stood up while holding him, "Ann did great. Children shouldn’t be too close to the balcony."

Hearing his dad praise her, Qin Sui’an happily curved his round eyes.

In fact, it was the old man who told her all this.

If it weren’t for the old man, she would have used a small footstool to reach the little apple.

But she couldn’t let Daddy know about the old man’s existence, so Qin Sui’an didn’t mention it.

At this moment, the big white goose also ran up to the third floor.

Climbing three flights of stairs had exhausted it, but for the sake of Ann, it climbed up with all its might.

Panting heavily, it saw that Ann was safe and sound, and after worrying all the way, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ga!"

Qin Sui’an saw the big white goose and widened her round eyes in delight.

"Big white goose!"

The big white goose walked up to her, panting, and said, "Ga! I dreamt that you fell from a high place! It’s super dangerous!"

Qin Sui’an patted her little belly and responded in a soft and gentle voice, "Ann didn’t fall down, don’t worry big white goose."

Suddenly, a cry for help came from the room: "Mommy...Daddy...Save me..."

Qin Haochen turned his head and looked into the room, just in time to see Shao Xinxin standing outside the railing, on the verge of falling down.

Although this child had caused distress to his Ann, this was the third floor.

If she accidentally fell down, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Qin Sui’an was startled by Shao Xinxin’s actions and anxiously grabbed his father’s clothes, saying, "Daddy! Sister Xinxin is in danger!"

Qin Haochen crouched down and gently placed Ann in his arms on the ground.

With a serious expression, he advised, "Ann, stay here and don’t enter the room. Wait for Daddy to come back."

After saying that, he rushed into the room and went to the balcony.

Shao Xinxin stood on the ground outside the balcony railing, tiptoeing and tightly gripping the railing.

She wasn’t foolish; she knew she couldn’t fall from the building.

She didn’t want to start a new life as a disabled person or a cerebral palsy.

Once her parents arrived to save her, she could say that Qin Sui’an wanted to push her off the balcony!

Human life was at stake, and she was almost being harmed by Qin Sui’an.

Who would remember the little apple incident?

No matter how much Shao Xinxin calculated, she didn’t anticipate that her cries for help wouldn’t bring her parents but instead brought Qin Haochen first.

Damn it! Why did Qin Sui’an’s father arrive first?

Where were her mommy and daddy? Why didn’t they rush to save her immediately?

With his height advantage, Qin Haochen reached out his long arm, bent down, and grabbed Shao Xinxin’s hand.

His deep gaze fixed upon her, catching a glimpse of her barely concealed surprise.

There wasn’t even a hint of fear in the face of danger. Qin Haochen seemed to have guessed what she was planning to do.

Without saying a word, he exerted a slight force and pulled her into the balcony.

Shao Xinxin hadn’t figured out how to deal with Qin Sui’an’s father yet when her body suddenly became weightless.

In less than a second, she was effortlessly saved and brought into the balcony.

All her plans once again fell through.

Shao Xinxin stood dumbfounded for a while, her mind in chaos due to the unexpected turn of events.

How could this happen...Why did it turn out like this?

What should she do next?

Qin Haochen looked down at Shao Xinxin from above, not missing her subtle changes in expression.

After a brief moment, he left the room and returned to the side of Ann.

Qin Sui’an’s round, worried eyes were filled with concern as he anxiously asked in his childish voice, "Daddy, are you hurt?"

"Daddy is fine." Qin Haochen crouched down and embraced Ann in his arms.

"Ann, don’t worry."

Hasty footsteps could be heard from the stairs.

Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen rushed up the stairs one after the other, too preoccupied to notice the father and daughter from the Qin family.

They hurriedly entered their daughter Xinxin’s room.

"Xinxin!"

Shao Yongkang ran over to his daughter standing on the balcony, nervously looking at her.

"Xinxin, what happened? What’s going on?"

Shen Shuwen’s tears were frightened out of her as she hugged her daughter Xinxin.

"Xinxin, what happened just now? Did Qin Sui’an bully you? Speak up, Xinxin!"
