The bodyguard, who hadn’t gone far, stopped and turned to look at Shao Xinxin.
All the guest information for tonight’s banquet had been recorded by the bodyguards, including special notes on the areas around the swimming pool.
They marked which guests couldn’t swim and which ones could.
As the precious daughter of the Shao family, Shao Xinxin’s name wasn’t on the invitation list.
However, Old Madam Shao was listed, along with some individuals who might attend the banquet on behalf of Old Madam Shao.
Everyone from the Shao family could swim.
When Shao Xinxin fell into the water earlier, the bodyguards observed that she could float, so they only watched from a distance without approaching.
Now, upon hearing the words of the young lady Shi Yiyin, the bodyguards scrutinized Shao Xinxin.
"Lady Xinxin, can’t you swim?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Was it an error in their information, or was there another reason? Regardless of the cause, the bodyguards had to treat it seriously.
"I...I can swim, but my leg cramped just now," Shao Xinxin paused slightly, "but it’s not cramping anymore."
Shi Yiyin curiously glanced at her leg, "Your leg cramped? Is it still cramping now?"
"No, it’s not cramping anymore."
Shao Xinxin couldn’t find any other reason to explain, as the Qin family’s bodyguards were not easily fooled.
The bodyguard stared at her for a while before returning to his post.
Shao Xinxin let out a sigh of relief.
Shi Yiyin almost forgot the main issue.
She grabbed the hand of Ms. Maggie and said, "Xinxin, Auntie Maggie said that Sister Ann isn’t wearing any makeup!"
Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, Shao Xinxin glanced at Qin Sui’an’s face, untouched by cosmetics, a flicker of jealousy passing through her eyes.
Could they please stop mentioning this topic?
Maggie nodded and explained seriously, "Not all styles require makeup. Ann has a good appearance and she’s very young. Makeup would do her more harm than good."
Shao Xinxin clenched her fists secretly.
She wanted to get closer to Maggie, so she immediately put on an innocent expression and suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! I thought Sister Ann was wearing makeup. It turns out she’s naturally beautiful."
With a radiant smile, she looked sincerely at Qin Sui’an, but her gaze held a hint of coldness.
Shi Yiyin affectionately held the arm of her doll-like sister.
"See, I told you! Sister Ann doesn’t wear makeup!"
Shao Xinxin wrapped herself tightly in a large towel, shivering.
She looked pitifully at them, "Sister Ann, do you have another dress I can change into? I’m all wet."
"Xinxin, Sister Ann is only three and a half years old," Shi Yiyin looked at Shao Xinxin in surprise, "You’re so much older, how could you possibly fit into Sister Ann’s little dress?"
Shao Xinxin was momentarily speechless.
After a while, she said, "But I’m completely soaked, and the banquet hasn’t ended yet. I can’t keep wearing this wet dress."
Seeing this, Maggie spoke up, "I have some spare children’s dresses in my car. If Lady Xinxin doesn’t mind, I can lend them to you."
"It’s not appropriate, and besides..."
Shao Xinxin politely declined, "I have a cleanliness obsession."
Those spare children’s dresses must have been worn by many people.
As the precious daughter of the Shao family, she didn’t need to share a dress with others.
