Ye Xiaoyuan immediately looked up at Qin Yanyi.
Qin Yanyi was also looking at him.
In each other’s eyes, they saw a profound shock and bewilderment that was beyond words. They were both certain that some things had been said in their minds but not out loud, yet the little one had picked them up perfectly, aligning naturally with their unspoken thoughts.
Qin Yanyi was incredulous, carefully calling out in his mind, Ann?
He didn’t say it out loud.
Qin Sui’an, hearing this, looked up at him with her large, dark eyes, blinking in confusion.
It seemed like Qin Yanyi was startled by the realization of their "practical results." Indeed, they had guessed correctly. Ann could truly hear their thoughts!
Qin Sui’an, puzzled, murmured, "Thoughts?"
Why did second brother say she could hear their thoughts?
Her little face was full of confusion.
At that moment, Ye Xiaoyuan also had an epiphany. No wonder the little one found it noisy near the Dining Hall. It turned out she could not only hear their thoughts but also those of the people dining in the Dining Hall, making it overwhelming and uncomfortable for her.
As Ye Xiaoyuan processed this, Qin Sui’an, naturally, heard everything clearly. Her small mouth formed a tiny "O" as she nodded with a semblance of understanding. "Ann heard so many people talking, but actually, they were all thinking, not talking out loud."
With the cause of Ann’s discomfort identified, Qin Yanyi was still concerned. He took out a stethoscope from the medical kit and carefully examined Ann again.
Once the examination confirmed that Ann had no other discomfort or abnormalities, Qin Yanyi felt relieved.
Ye Xiaoyuan, having figured things out, regained his calm demeanor. Even though this was the first time he had encountered such a phenomenon, he didn’t show any aversion or strangeness.
Given that more people meant more noise for the little one, which made her uncomfortable, Ye Xiaoyuan suggested to Qin Yanyi, "There are still many people in the Dining Hall. Ask your elder brother if we can eat lunch somewhere else."
"Alright," Qin Yanyi had the same thought.
In the distance, a bodyguard was running towards them.
Miss Ann must be waiting a long time. I need to hurry so she doesn’t stay hungry...
Qin Sui’an’s eyes lit up as she turned her small head towards the approaching bodyguard, smiling brightly at him.
The Qin family bodyguard, tall and swift, reached them in no time.
The bodyguard, catching his breath, said, "Young Master Yanyi, Miss Ann’s milk is ready."
He handed over a cute little milk bottle.
Qin Yanyi turned to hand the milk bottle to Ann. "Ann, have some milk first."
"Thank you, second brother~" Qin Sui’an happily wiggled her small head and looked at the bodyguard running over. Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she sweetly said, "Thank you, bodyguard uncle. You’ve worked hard~"
Hearing her sweet words, the bodyguard couldn’t help but smile. "It’s no trouble, Miss Ann. It’s my duty."
The bodyguard, feeling delighted, still wore a smile as he left.
Miss Ann is just too cute!
Qin Sui’an, hugging the milk bottle with both hands, happily drank her milk. She was delighted to be praised and felt happy herself.
Qin Yanyi took out his phone and called his elder brother, Qin Fujia. He didn’t say much, just mentioned, "Elder brother, we’ll have lunch somewhere else."
"Somewhere else?" Qin Fujia sounded slightly puzzled but agreed readily. "Alright, do you want to go out or..."
"Ann is hungry, and it would take time to travel if we go out," Qin Yanyi thought for a moment. "Can we eat in the hall?"
"Sure," Qin Fujia agreed unconditionally as long as it concerned Ann. "I’ll bring the food over. You take Ann to the hall."
"Alright."
After ending the call, Qin Yanyi told Ye Xiaoyuan, "We’ll eat in the hall."
Ye Xiaoyuan nodded gently and turned with the little one towards the hall.
Qin Yanyi, carrying the medical kit, walked beside them, glancing at Ann who was drinking milk. He initially wanted to ask Ann if she could also hear his elder brother’s thoughts through the phone, but seeing Ann enjoying her milk, he hesitated to interrupt her.
He decided to wait until Ann finished her milk to ask.
Qin Sui’an, with her round eyes blinking and her head swaying, put down the bottle and answered earnestly, "Second brother, Ann couldn’t hear big brother’s thoughts just now."
Qin Yanyi was momentarily taken aback, realizing that Ann had heard his thoughts again.
He felt a bit embarrassed. "Did I disturb you, Ann?"
"Second brother isn’t noisy," Qin Sui’an shook her little head and smiled. "But second brother talks more now~"
Qin Yanyi, usually a man of few words, found himself suddenly becoming a "chatty" person due to Ann hearing his thoughts.
He awkwardly cleared his throat. "Sorry, Ann."
Fortunately, Ann didn’t mind him being "chatty."
Thinking about it, Qin Yanyi glanced at Ye Xiaoyuan. Did Ye Xiaoyuan not have any thoughts at this moment?
Ye Xiaoyuan, being a person of few words, was focused entirely on the little one in his arms. He thought that Qin Yanyi might compete with him for holding the little one after the call, but he didn’t. After all, as Qin Yanyi’s elder brother-in-law, he couldn’t compete with him in that regard.
Qin Sui’an, nestled in big uncle’s arms, happily listened to the unspoken thoughts of big uncle and second brother. At this moment, she found it extremely amusing.
Soon after returning to the hall, Qin Fujia arrived with their lunch.
Qin Yanyi got up to assist him in placing the food on the table.
Seeing Ann drinking milk and not appearing to be in any distress, Qin Fujia finally relaxed. He had been worried that something unpleasant had happened, causing them to avoid the Dining Hall.
It was better to eat in the hall, where there were no outsiders and it was more relaxed.
Qin Fujia then looked at Qin Yanyi, silently inquiring if something had happened.
"Elder brother, we’ll talk after we eat," Qin Yanyi added, "Don’t worry."
Qin Fujia’s brow furrowed slightly. This reassurance didn’t quite ease his worry.
