"Mrs. Shao, it was your daughter who said it," Qin Qianyi said innocently, wearing an expression of innocence.
Shao Xinxin’s teary eyes swayed, cursing Qin Qianyi repeatedly in her heart.
Unfortunately, her words had already been spoken and she couldn’t take them back.
Otherwise, Qin Qianyi would endlessly hold onto this matter.
Shao Xinxin pursed her lips slightly as if making a great decision.
She said, "Mommy is right, there should be distance between a brother and sister. Brother Qianyi cannot enter my room, but he can let Sister Ann search in my room."
Shen Shuwen furrowed her brows and glanced at Qin Sui’an.
This wild young lady of the Qin family wouldn’t be thinking of stealing things from their Xinxin’s room, would she?
Shen Shuwen had always doted on her daughter Xinxin and had bought her many accessories.
Qin Qianyi stretched lazily, appearing a bit tired, and wanting to go home quickly.
He said, "Bring out Ann’s diamond little apple soon."
When he mentioned the words "diamond little apple", he emphasized his tone and cast a contemptuous glance at Shen Shuwen.
All the accessories in the entire Shao family combined were not as valuable as the little apple belonging to their Ann.
Shao Xinxin gritted her teeth inwardly, suppressing her anger.
She put on a friendly face and squeezed out a smile at Qin Sui’an, inviting her, "Sister Ann, why don’t you search in my room to see if your little apple is there?"
Qin Sui’an looked up with her innocent round eyes, seeking help from her daddy, as she also felt it wasn’t appropriate to casually enter someone else’s room.
But what she couldn’t understand even more was why she needed to search for her little apple in Sister Xinxin’s room.
How did her little apple end up in Sister Xinxin’s room from their own garden?
Receiving her daughter’s gaze, Qin Haochen comfortingly rubbed her little head and softly said, "Ann, go and search."
He wasn’t worried that Shao Xinxin would hide the little apple, nor was he worried that little Ann wouldn’t be able to find her own little apple.
Qin Haochen reached out and caressed the silver bracelet on her delicate wrist, whispering, "If Ann can’t find it, you can ask for the silver bracelet."
Qin Haochen had already witnessed the special abilities of the silver bracelet.
They couldn’t personally go and search, but he believed that the silver bracelet would help little Ann find the little apple.
Hearing her daddy’s whispered words, Qin Sui’an nodded her little head and cutely responded, "Okay!"
Qin Haochen gently placed little Ann down from his embrace and touched her small face, saying softly, "Go, Ann. If you need anything, call out, Daddy is right here."
"Okay!" Qin Sui’an nodded her little head again.
Shao Xinxin wiped away the remaining tears on her face and walked ahead, leading the way.
"Sister Ann, my room is upstairs."
Qin Sui’an took small steps, and after walking a few steps, she turned her little head and saw her daddy, Eldest Brother, and Sixth Brother all looking at her.
Only then did she continue walking, following behind Shao Xinxin.
Shao Xinxin was taller than Qin Sui’an, so she initially matched her steps, walking slowly.
But when they reached the staircase, she said, "Sister Ann, my room is on the third floor."
After saying this, Shao Xinxin quickly ran up to the third floor and stood at the corner of the staircase.
"Sister Ann, hurry up, I’ll be waiting for you upstairs."
Qin Sui’an looked at the long staircase, her little eyebrows slightly furrowing.
The third floor meant there were many more stairs to climb.
But when she thought about the possibility of her grandparents giving her the little apple being in Shao Xinxin’s room, Qin Sui’an pursed her small lips, gripping the handrail of the staircase with her little hands, and climbed up step by step.
Shao Xinxin watched for a while from upstairs, seeing that she wasn’t paying attention to her side, so she quickly returned to her own room.
She lifted the blanket and took out the little apple that was hidden inside, preparing to find a secret place to hide it. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
The balcony door of the room was not closed, and the cool night breeze blew into the room, causing the curtains to sway.
Shao Xinxin’s movements suddenly stopped, and she slowly turned her head, her gaze falling outside the balcony.
The balcony had a railing, much higher than a child’s height, completely preventing the danger of a child accidentally falling down the stairs.
In the palm of her hand, the small diamond apple was extremely hard.
If she squeezed it slightly, it would hurt her palm.
Shao Xinxin bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion and struggle.
She hated Qin Sui’an, hated her in her previous life, and still detested her existence in this life.
Qin Sui’an had taken away all her glory, even her own brother loved Qin Sui’an more than he cherished his own sister.
The heavens allowed her to be reborn and live another life, surely indicating that she couldn’t repeat the same mistakes.
If in this lifetime, there is no Qin Sui’an, then undoubtedly, the genius little prodigy and the beloved of the entire prestigious family, is none other than Shao Xinxin!
With a determined gaze replacing her confusion, Shao Xinxin tightly grasped the little apple in the palm of her hand and walked towards the balcony.
She opened the balcony door to its fullest extent, then placed the dazzling and valuable diamond apple on the edge of the railing.
After checking her surroundings and considering that Qin Sui’an’s height would prevent him from climbing over the railing, Shao Xinxin brought a small stool and placed it in front of the balcony railing.
Having completed all of this, Shao Xinxin calmly walked out of the room and arrived at the staircase, waiting for Qin Sui’an to arrive.
At this moment, she remained composed, though her fingertips trembled ever so slightly, betraying her slightly excited emotions.
Qin Sui’an rarely climbed stairs during his time at the Bay Villa, and in the orphanage, there was no need to climb stairs due to its small size.
The three floors of the Sha residence left her breathless as she finally reached the third floor.
Qin Sui’an gently patted her little belly, taking a moment to catch her breath.
She lifted her small face and looked towards Shao Xinxin, who stood ahead of her.
Not sure if it was her own illusion, Ann felt that Sister Xinxin suddenly smiled at her with great joy.
Yet, nothing worth celebrating had occurred.
Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes in confusion.
Shao Xinxin raised the corners of her lips and walked briskly towards Qin Sui’an, her voice seemingly carrying an uncontrollable hint of laughter.
"Little Ann, my room is the only one here. Go inside and find your little apple, see if it’s in my room."
Qin Sui’an pursed her lips and glanced at the room pointed out by Shao Xinxin.
The room’s door was open, with the lights already turned on, appearing even brighter than the corridor lights.
Seeing that Shao Xinxin didn’t show any signs of anger, Qin Sui’an whispered, "Then, Ann will go and look.
Ann won’t rummage through Sister Xinxin’s stuff."
Shao Xinxin shrugged generously.
"It’s all right even if you rummage through. Just be careful and don’t let your family misunderstand me again."
Qin Sui’an walked to the entrance of the room, cautiously peering inside before lifting her small feet and slowly stepping in.
Shao Xinxin didn’t follow her inside, instead standing in place, patiently waiting.
At that moment, joyful exclamations echoed from the room, "Little apple! Ann found it!"
A smile once again bloomed on Shao Xinxin’s face, as if she could already envision her own bright future, a future without Qin Sui’an.
