Qin Haochen furrowed his brows slightly, trying to understand the meaning behind Ann’s words.
Perhaps there was indeed something like the need for spiritual energy for Ann’s silver bracelet. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Otherwise, how could he explain the bracelet’s protective abilities?
Qin Sui’an nodded earnestly, "Yes."
Qin Haochen sat in front of the flower bushes once again and asked, "Ann, how long does the silver bracelet need to absorb spiritual energy?"
"Um..." Qin Sui’an shook her head honestly, "Ann doesn’t know."
Since there was nothing urgent at the moment, she decided to sit in the flower bushes.
Qin Haochen didn’t press Ann further and said, "All right, then I’ll accompany you."
He didn’t dwell on the matter of spiritual energy anymore and instead looked at the flower bushes.
He pondered how he could make the space within the bushes larger.
He hoped that next time, it wouldn’t be just Ann alone who could enter, but that he could accompany her inside.
Qin Haochen never questioned Ann’s words.
He always did his best to fulfill her every wish.
After sitting for a while, Qin Sui’an became worried that her daddy would get bored.
It seemed as if she was comforting her silver bracelet as she gently touched it twice.
"Ann will come to the flower bushes again next time, okay?"
Then, she emerged from the flower bushes.
Qin Haochen helped her up, gently brushing off any grass debris from her body, and softly asked, "Ann, aren’t you staying in the flower bushes anymore?"
"Tomorrow, I’ll come again," Qin Sui’an leaned against her daddy’s embrace and rubbed her little face, "Ann wants to stay with Daddy more."
"Daddy also wishes the same," Qin Haochen carried her and walked slowly towards the villa, saying, "Daddy will find a way to make the flower bushes bigger so that next time, we can stay together inside."
Qin Sui’an looked at her daddy and furrowed her brows in confusion, "But Daddy, the flower bushes are very small, very tiny."
After saying this, her round eyes suddenly widened, "Daddy, can you become as small as Ann?"
"No, I can’t," Qin Haochen chuckled softly, "But I can find a way to make the flower bushes bigger."
"Oh!!" Qin Sui’an suddenly understood, her eyes and brows curved, "Daddy is amazing!"
"Thank you for your praise, Ann," Qin Haochen’s deep eyes filled with a smile as he doted on Ann in his arms.
It wasn’t until 10 PM that Ann started to feel sleepy, and Qin Haochen took her upstairs to rest.
Qin Huo hadn’t rested since morning and sat patiently in the living room, waiting for something.
Qin Yanyi had to return to the hospital the next day and didn’t dare to stay up too late.
Seeing his grandfather occasionally picking up his phone to check, he asked, "Grandfather, are you waiting for a call from Grandma?"
"Your grandmother is still taking her afternoon nap at this hour. I’ll call her after she wakes up," Qin Huo waved his hand at him, "Go rest, don’t mind me."
Beside him, his butler, Butler Lin, also added, "Young Master Yanyi, rest assured, I’ll accompany the old master."
Qin Yanyi no longer insisted and went upstairs to rest.
At 11 p.m., the phone alarm rang on time.
Qin Huo hurriedly picked up the phone, turned off the alarm, and then skillfully dialed a number.
A few seconds later, a gentle cough could be heard from the phone receiver.
Cough... "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"
Qin Huo furrowed his brows, "Why are you coughing again? Did you not cover yourself properly?"
"No, I just woke up. My throat is a bit dry."
Qin Huo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Then drink some water first. I have good news to tell you."
Butler Lin had prepared tea for the old master and quietly retreated outside the living room.
Based on his past experience, this phone call between the old master and the old madam would last at least half an hour or more.
Butler Lin’s estimation was correct.
It wasn’t until past midnight that Qin Huo reluctantly hung up the phone and went upstairs to rest.
Late at night, tranquility enveloped the entire bay villa, with only the rotating security guards remaining steadfast in their posts, protecting the safety of the villa.
The big white goose was brought back to its room by Qin Fujia and was now resting on the sofa.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, its small eyes, the size of beans, abruptly opened, glancing around.
Ga! Was I dreaming, or perhaps, is that scene about to unfold?
The big white goose cautiously glanced towards the direction of the bedroom, then quietly hopped off the sofa and made its way outside the room.
As the sky gradually brightened, Qin Sui’an, Ann, woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, her round pupils reflected the handsome and charming face of her daddy.
Qin Sui’an immediately pursed her lips happily.
She carefully extended her small hand and gently held her daddy’s hand, not moving any further, obediently lying in bed.
At that moment, the silver bracelet emitted a faint glow.
Qin Sui’an lowered her little head in confusion, gazing at the silver bracelet with bewilderment.
However, the silver bracelet did not emit any more light, returning to its usual lustrous appearance.
In the next instant, a strange voice echoed in her ears: "How can this silver bracelet still emit light?"
Startled, Qin Sui’an instinctively nestled into her daddy’s embrace, her round eyes cautiously scanning her surroundings.
Qin Haochen noticed the movement in his arms, opened his eyes, and gently embraced Ann.
His voice, still hoarse from just waking up, asked, "Ann, what’s wrong?"
"Daddy..." Qin Sui’an raised her little face, first looking outside the window, then whispered, "I’m sorry for waking Daddy up."
"It’s all right."
Qin Haochen’s drowsiness quickly dissipated as he held her small hand, softly asking, "Did Ann have a bad dream? Don’t be afraid, Daddy is here."
"I didn’t have a bad dream."
Qin Sui’an shook her little head, glancing around and no longer hearing that unfamiliar voice.
She quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said in her sweet and childish voice, "Daddy, go back to sleep. Ann is not afraid."
Qin Haochen kissed her forehead gently. "Good girl."
He picked up his phone, checked the time, and realized it was only half past five in the morning, still early.
"Aren’t you sleepy, Ann?" Qin Haochen gently patted her small body.
Qin Sui’an obediently shook her head.
"Not sleepy."
"Then let’s get up."
Qin Haochen decided not to go back to sleep to avoid making Ann wait with an empty stomach.
After father and daughter freshened up and changed their clothes, they went downstairs together.
The kitchen was not yet prepared for breakfast, so Qin Haochen made milk formula for Ann to drink, while he brewed a cup of coffee for himself.
Qin Sui’an held her milk bottle, drinking milk while watching her daddy drink the dark liquid.
She released the nipple, raised the milk bottle high, and said in her adorable baby voice, "Ann drinks white and Daddy drinks black!"
Qin Haochen chuckled lightly, lifted his coffee cup, and lightly tapped it against her milk bottle.
"Cheers!"
Qin Sui’an tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what "cheers" meant.
