"ah!"
Caught off guard, the man let out a loud shout.
Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang Can ran to the cradle, shielding her son with her body while fiercely attacking the man. She struck with her eyes closed, and the man retreated step by step. Little Junyu in the cradle was awakened and burst into tears.
"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"
"Your son was crying and you still hit him!"
"Jiang Can, it's me!"
"Who?" Jiang Can was suddenly stunned.
Her hand, which was swinging the bag, froze in mid-air.
The man in front of her, who was a head taller than her, was curled up with his hands covering his head, looking disheveled from the beating she had given him.
The air suddenly became quiet...
The man peeked out from between her arms, staring at her in horror.
"You... Nie Xin?" Jiang Can was taken aback.
Nie Xin looked miserable, her expression contorted.
Jiang Can snapped out of her daze, ignoring him, and quickly turned around to pick up her son and gently coax him in her arms.
At this moment, several guards arrived quickly with stun batons. Jiang Can explained in a low voice that it was a misunderstanding and sent them back.
"That's really too much..." Nie Xin went to the bathroom to look in the mirror. Luckily, he had taken precautions and his face was not hit. Otherwise, if he had been disfigured, how would he have been able to make a living in the entertainment industry in the future?
"I didn't know it was you!" Jiang Can stood behind him, holding her son, and smiled apologetically.
The lighting in the nursery was always soft, so she couldn't see clearly. Plus, when she came back, none of the maids or housekeepers were there, which terrified her.
"By the way, why did you come to my house? Where is Zhixing?"
Nie Xin gave her an annoyed look, "Your husband sent me!"
"He knew you went to the nursing home to visit your aunt today, and he was also busy helping Xiaocheng organize Yin's documents and couldn't get away, so he asked me to come and help you look after the children!"
"What about the nanny and the others?"
“Yes!” Nie Xin’s eyes widened. “Your family clearly has a lot of nannies and servants, why did you call me? When I came over and saw so many people standing in the nursery serving this little master, I immediately felt that Huo Zhixing was playing me!”
Jiang Can couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Huo Zhixing may say he doesn't care about his son, but he still worries about the little guy all the time.
He felt uneasy having only servants at home, so he sent Nie Xin over to take care of things.
If Xiao Junyu starts crying, seeing his Uncle Xin might offer some comfort—even though he's not very close to this uncle.
"But where are all my family members?" Jiang Can asked in confusion. "When I came in, the door was wide open, and I thought we'd been robbed!"
"Isn't today some kind of flower festival?" Nie Xin said softly. "There are floats parading in the streets, so I told them all to go out and have some fun."
Jiang Can broke out in a cold sweat. "You're going to take care of my son yourself?"
"What's wrong?" Nie Xin glanced at her. "Your husband is taking advantage of me being a single dog. He called me over to watch the child, and you're complaining that I'm not taking good care of him?"
"No, no..."
Jiang Can chuckled twice, extremely grateful that he had returned in time.
“Hey,” Nie Xin suddenly leaned closer to her and nudged her with her elbow, “I’ve helped you take care of the kids, so I’ve done my part, haven’t I?”
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Brother, I have a favor to ask..."
Jiang Can frowned.
That guy had a wicked grin on his face; he was definitely up to no good. Turns out, his usual aloofness was all an act!
“There is a rainforest in Sabah, within the Yin family estate, which my aunt’s husband has long since transformed into a private garden.”
"That's right, it's right next to my house."
“Well…” Nie Xin smiled, “Although its surname is Yin, could it be temporarily open to those with the surname Nie for one night?”
Jiang Can blinked. "What exactly do you want?"
“Today is the Flower Festival,” Nie Xin said softly. “I just wanted to go in and celebrate.”
...
When Sang Qing was dragged out by Nie Xinsheng, she still had several floral dresses that she hadn't finished embroidering.
However, Nie Xin paid the landlady three times the wages.
The proprietress, seeing that it was the same troublesome person from last time, took the money without saying a word and let Nie Xin take Sang Qing away.
"Uncle, what exactly do you want?" Sang Qing was shoved into the car by him. On the way, this man didn't say a word and was frighteningly calm.
"Uncle, what did I do wrong again?" She started guessing wildly. "Did I say something wrong last time and make you angry? Or...did I take your measurements wrong?"
"Uncle, say something!"
"Nie Xin!"
Sang Qing finally couldn't take it anymore and called him by his full name.
Nie Xin slammed on the brakes and turned to stare at her blankly.
To be honest, the name "Nie Xin" didn't sound as pleasant as "uncle" coming from her mouth...
Sang Qing's face paled, and she forced a smile. "Um, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to say something to you, I..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she felt something flashing around her.
She didn't even notice that the car had already driven into a private garden. There were towering palm trees, banyan trees that formed a forest, streams and ponds, and the pleasant croaking of frogs.
There are also many fireflies.
Sang Qing got out of the car in a daze. Before she could come to her senses, Nie Xin had already taken her hand and walked into the depths of the rainforest.
She felt as if she had entered a dreamlike fairy tale world.
The further she went, the more fireflies appeared, swarming around her like little elves. There were no lights in the rainforest, so these fireflies alone were enough to illuminate the path ahead.
"Do you like it?" Nie Xin asked with a smile.
Sang Qing felt a surge of excitement.
She looked up at the deep blue night sky dotted with stars, and the fireflies beside her looked like stars fallen from the sky.
The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and distant mountains surround the area.
Sang Qing felt like she was dreaming until she looked up and saw her reflection in Nie Xin's eyes.
"Uncle, where...where is this?"
Nie Xin didn't answer, but just smiled at her. Suddenly, he raised his hand and grabbed Sang Qing's small hand, carefully placing the firefly into her palm.
