All the guests present were well aware of the purpose behind tonight’s banquet at the Qin Corporation.
"This joyous occasion is..."
Lan Jin’s eyes welled up with a hint of imperceptible choking as she spoke, "My precious granddaughter has returned home."
Qin Huo sensed her emotional fluctuation and gently embraced her shoulder, silently comforting her.
After a brief pause, Lan Jin and Qin Huo took a few steps to the side, turning their gaze towards the other side of the stage.
Everyone followed their line of sight and looked towards the other side of the stage.
There, six tall and handsome men walked onto the stage, dressed in tailor-made suits.
The audience immediately recognized them.
"They are the six young masters of the Qin family!"
"Oh my, they have grown up! It’s been a long time since we last saw them together!"
The discussions continued unabated until, at a certain moment, all voices abruptly ceased as another figure stepped onto the stage.
Qin Haochen appeared in everyone’s line of sight, cradling a little girl in his arms.
He wore an expensive formal suit that accentuated his tall and elegant figure, exuding extraordinary grace and elegance.
Ann in his arms possessed an irresistible charm with just one glance.
With her soft hair cascading down, a small crown adorned with sparkling diamonds on her head, and a princess dress worth a seven-figure sum, even her tiny feet were clad in princess shoes crafted by top designers.
At this moment, the radiance emanating from her dress and shoes paled in comparison to Ann herself.
With her flawless features, round and bright eyes resembling black grapes, a cute and delicate nose, and a perfectly plump baby face, she was irresistibly adorable.
"Oh my! Is that the daughter of President Qin?"
"She is so incredibly beautiful!"
"No wonder she’s from the Qin family.
She’s already so stunning at the age of three and a half!"
Expressions of admiration burst forth from the crowd.
Qin Sui’an, seeing so many people in her home for the first time, nervously and curiously observed them with her round eyes.
Her little hands clung tightly around her daddy’s neck, silently gripping on.
Qin Haochen gently patted her back, soothingly asking, "Ann, are you scared?"
Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes and firmly shook her little head, "Daddy, Ann is not scared."
"Ann is amazing."
Qin Haochen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, worried that his little girl would feel frightened like before when faced with a large crowd.
He held her and walked to the center of the stage, closer to the standing microphone.
"Good evening, everyone. I am Qin Haochen. Thank you all for attending our Qin family’s banquet," his calm and powerful voice resonated in everyone’s ears.
"Now, please allow me to introduce to you all, my daughter, Qin Sui’an."
He didn’t use elaborate words or unnecessary explanations, simply introducing his daughter to everyone present in a straightforward manner.
Yet, everyone understood clearly that this simple introduction, along with the presence of the Qin family members standing behind him, undoubtedly declared that anyone who dared to harm Qin Sui’an would be challenging the entire Qin family!
Qin Haochen moved the microphone closer and handed it to Ann.
Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes, glanced at her daddy, and then at the microphone.
Imitating his earlier actions, she held the microphone with her small hands, her bright round eyes looking at the others, and in a soft and tender voice, she said, "Good evening, uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters. I am Qin Sui’an. I am my daddy’s daughter."
In her final sentence, her milky voice couldn’t conceal her joyful emotions.
Her adorable little voice reached everyone’s ears, a stark contrast to Qin Haochen’s serious and aloof demeanor.
This juxtaposition brought a comforting sense of purification to people’s hearts.
Qin Haochen raised the corners of his lips, indulgently gazing at his little girl in his arms.
The bodyguards handed the prepared wine glasses to the president and the young masters, and they also held a glass of juice for Miss An’an.
Lan Jin and Qin Huo stepped forward, raising their glasses together, and said, "Now, I announce that the banquet has officially begun."
Qin Sui’an glanced at the adults, her round eyes curved.
She knew they were toasting.
She raised her own glass of juice, clinking it in the air with everyone else, and happily drank the juice.
Qin Haochen carried Ann down the stage.
Qin Sui’an looked up at him, her clear and bright eyes blinked, "Daddy, are you going to chat with the other adults?"
She still remembered the photos Daddy showed her of him attending banquets, where adults would engage in conversations and discussions.
Qin Haochen didn’t want to leave Ann even for a moment.
He could forgo socializing with others and simply stay with Ann.
But he knew deep down that Ann needed to play with other children her age.
Considering this, he nodded gently and earnestly advised, "Ann, if there’s anything, immediately find Daddy or the family’s bodyguards, understood?"
"Understood!"
Qin Sui’an extended her little hand and patted her tummy, "Daddy, don’t worry, Ann will protect herself!"
Qin Haochen wanted to ruffle her hair, but seeing her wearing a cute little crown, he withdrew his hand, "Ann, you’re amazing."
He crouched down carefully and gently placed her on the ground, "Go on, if you’re hungry, go eat whatever you want."
"Okay!" Qin Sui’an nodded vigorously.
She turned around, her curious gaze scanning the surroundings as if contemplating where to go.
Soon, she followed the rumbling sound of her hungry tummy and took small steps toward the enticing aroma of food.
The guests greeted Ann respectfully when they saw her: "Good evening, Ann."
"Miss An’an, good evening."
"Lady Sui’an, good evening..."
Qin Sui’an slowed her pace, blinked her round eyes, and responded earnestly and politely, "Good evening, Auntie! Good evening, Uncle!"
Without her daddy by her side, Ann would no longer be afraid because Ann was a brave child! "Ga!" A honking sound came from the crowd, causing a commotion.
"Why is a goose here?"
"This goose even has a tie on, is it a pet goose?"
A goose with a tie wouldn’t appear at Bay Villa for no reason, especially considering the respectful attitude of the bodyguards towards it.
Therefore, this goose was definitely not an ordinary one!
It was highly likely to be the pet goose of the Qin family’s little princess!
Their speculation was not mistaken, it was completely accurate.
The big white goose made its way through the crowd and approached Ann.
It proudly raised its little head, "Ga! Ann, take a look at my tie!"
Qin Sui’an’s eyes lit up, "Wow! big white goose, your tie matches Ann’s dress!"
The presence of the big white goose in a crowded place was unusual, and its appearance at this moment could only mean one thing.
It sensed that Ann was in danger!
