In the next moment, Shu Yao saw her son suddenly cover his pocket.
She was confused for a few seconds, "What’s in your pocket?"
"Goose feather," Shi Qinghan explained, "It’s a goose feather given to me by Ann’s pet goose."
Shu Yao couldn’t keep up with his words for a moment, and after processing it, she became even more confused, "Just a goose feather?"
A goose feather made her son treasure it so much?
The more she thought about it, the more puzzled she felt.
Shi Qinghan nodded.
Seeing her mother’s puzzled expression, he said earnestly, "Mom, it’s a small gift with great meaning; this is a thank you gift from that big white goose for helping it open the door."
Although he valued this goose feather, the bigger reason was that this big white goose was Ann’s pet.
"Oh... I see," Shu Yao still couldn’t understand; sometimes, children’s thoughts just confused adults. She didn’t reach out for the goose feather, allowing him to "protect" it well.
Shu Yao recalled the last time when her son came back from the Qin family, he also treasured a bottle of milk very much.
She secretly shook her head in her heart; indeed, was she getting old? There was quite a generation gap with her son, and she completely couldn’t understand what was on his mind.
Meanwhile,
Qin Haochen finished his work early and went to Ye Corporation to pick up his little one to go home.
Before departing, he called the Ye family, and when his car parked at the front gate of Ye Corporation, his little one also arrived downstairs.
Without waiting for assistant He Yan to open the door, Qin Haochen quickly pushed open the car door, got out, and went to greet his little one.
Qin Sui’an was being held by her grandmother. Upon hearing her dad’s car engine, her little face burst into a radiant smile.
Seeing her dad walk over, she immediately happily called out, "Daddy~"
Old Mrs. Ye slightly loosened her grip, allowing her son-in-law to take her granddaughter.
Qin Haochen held the little one securely, a slight smile at the corners of his lips, "Did Ann have fun today?"
"Fun~" Qin Sui’an nodded vigorously.
Qin Haochen stroked her head and looked at the others, "Mom, Dad, I’ll take Ann home first."
Old Mr. Ye nodded gently and reminded, "Go ahead, drive slowly."
"Okay." Qin Haochen took the little one back to the car, just placing her in her child seat when a voice came from behind:
"Brother-in-law, I’m here too." Ye Rongyuan spoke very kindly at this moment, "My car is still parked at Bay Villa; could you give me a ride?"
And maybe get a free dinner, and spend more time with Ann.
Qin Haochen naturally didn’t refuse, allowing him to get in the car.
Ye Rongyuan cheerfully sat in the back seat, teasing Ann, "What a coincidence, Ann, you’re also in this car."
Qin Sui’an’s eyes crinkled in a smile, cooperating with him, "Right~ What a coincidence~"
Qin Haochen finally got in the car, rolled down the window to say goodbye to the two elders of the Ye family.
The car started and slowly headed toward Bay Villa.
Qin Haochen turned his head to look at the little one sitting obediently in her child seat, his brows softening with tenderness. He gently touched her little head, asking, "Is Ann feeling uncomfortable today?"
He meant whether she felt unwell due to hearing too many thoughts with her Mind-Reading Skill.
After the little one woke up this afternoon, she called him, saying she wandered around Ye Corporation and met many employees.
Although the little one looked energetic, Qin Haochen was still worried about her.
Qin Sui’an gently shook her head, her small hand holding her dad’s hand, "Daddy, don’t worry, Ann isn’t uncomfortable today! I won’t be disturbed~"
The small hand in his palm was soft and warm, as if it directly covered his heart. Qin Haochen raised his lips, his voice even softer than before, "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, tell Dad."
Qin Sui’an nodded vigorously, her little expression especially serious: "Mm-hmm!"
Thinking of the banquet discussed with her uncle at noon, Qin Sui’an tilted her little face up, her round eyes reflecting her handsome dad, "Daddy, did you receive Bai Zhou’s birthday invitation?"
Qin Haochen didn’t pay attention to whose invitation they received; basically, assistant He Yan simply reported it concisely, whether to go was just one sentence.
He indeed heard He Yan mention it this morning, but Qin Haochen didn’t plan to go, just letting He Yan send a gift there.
At this moment, upon hearing the little one mention this, seeing her excited eyes full of anticipation, he smiled: "Yes, Ann wants to go?"
"Want~" Qin Sui’an nodded eagerly, "I haven’t been to Bai Zhou’s banquet."
The little one still maintained a full curiosity about everything; even Bai Zhou’s banquet was new to her, so she wanted to check it out.
Without a second thought, Qin Haochen immediately followed the little one’s wish, "Alright, let’s go together."
He took out his phone and messaged He Yan to prepare.
Ye Rongyuan listened closely to their father-daughter conversation and leaned in, "If Ann goes, I go too!"
Qin Sui’an pursed her small lips and smiled, happily saying, "Let’s all go together~"
She even reminded her uncle, "Uncle, is that crazy uncle going too?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot about him." Ye Rongyuan truly forgot Ou Yangfu’s "request," "If Ann goes, he goes too."
In summary, they just couldn’t wait to follow Ann wherever she went.
Qin Haochen, hearing the little one call that name, looked inquiringly at his brother-in-law Ye Rongyuan, "The Ou family?"
Ye Rongyuan nodded in response, "Yes, brother-in-law, that’s the one who begged Ann to draw a picture for his father last time, Ou Yangfu."
Qin Haochen’s phone rang, and the name displayed on the caller ID surprised him.
It was Shi Anye.
Qin Haochen was about the same age as Shi Anye, and aside from the cooperation between their two families, they could be considered friends who could talk.
At this moment, Shi Anye called him on his personal number, clearly wanting to discuss private matters.
Qin Haochen picked up the phone and pressed to answer, "What’s up?"
"Haochen, I received an invitation from the Bai family." Shi Anye didn’t beat around the bush, "It’s Bai Zhou’s birthday."
Qin Haochen understood what he wanted to ask and replied, "If you want to go, then go."
Hearing this response, Shi Anye immediately understood; the relationship between the Bai and Qin families had eased.
He smiled and asked another question, "So, are you going?"
At this time, Qin Haochen hadn’t noticed anything, responding naturally, "Yes."
"Ah... you’re going." Shi Anye’s smile became more sincere, "Okay, see you at the banquet."
After saying this, without waiting for Qin Haochen’s reply, Shi Anye hung up.
Qin Haochen gently furrowed his brow, glancing at the screen displaying "Call Ended."
Was this person probing him? Specifically calling to subtly find out if his little one would go to the banquet?
Realizing this belatedly, Qin Haochen suddenly felt speechless. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Was it his illusion? Why did he always feel like everyone was concerned about his little one?
