The people Qin Lvzheng regularly interacted with were mostly adults who schemed and fought for their own interests.
But when he heard this innocent and pure little voice, he felt his ears and his soul being cleansed.
Qin Lvzheng cautiously approached, gently crouched down, and extended his hand towards her, his nervousness still evident in his tone, "Ann, nice to meet you for the first time. Please guide me."
Although it wasn’t their first meeting from his perspective, for little sister Ann, it truly was their first encounter.
Qin Sui’an blinked her round, big eyes, looking at the hand reaching out to her, displaying a puzzled expression.
When Daddy and her Eldest Brother hugged me, they would extend both hands. Why did Third Brother only extend one hand?
Despite her confusion, Qin Sui’an took two steps forward and threw herself into her Third Brother’s embrace without any defenses.
With the sudden addition of an Ann in his arms, Qin Lvzheng froze, his mind going blank.
He had intended to shake hands with Ann, but it seemed she didn’t understand the gesture and thought he wanted to hug her.
Realizing the misunderstanding, Qin Lvzheng unexpectedly felt a rush of joy overwhelming his mind.
He gently embraced Ann in his arms, and unconsciously, the corners of his mouth lifted upwards.
Qin Sui’an tilted her little face upwards, her cheeks blushing with shyness.
She touched her small belly and sheepishly said, "Third Brother, Ann is a bit hungry!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lvzheng immediately reacted and hurriedly stood up while holding Ann.
He walked towards the entrance of the room and asked, his movements and posture stiff yet cautious, "What does Ann want to eat?"
Qin Lvzheng held her, his actions and posture rigid yet cautious.
Ann seemed uncomfortable, twisting and turning her small body until she found a comfortable position.
She pursed her small lips and softly answered his question, "I want to drink milk!"
"All right, milk."
Qin Lvzheng’s eyes held a hint of a smile as his steady voice carried a trace of indulgence.
He walked downstairs, heading towards the direction of the dining room.
Qin Sui’an leaned against his embrace, her round, big eyes looking left and right.
Not a single person could be seen on the first floor, and she let out a gentle sigh, "Ah!"
Qin Lvzheng didn’t pause his steps and nervously asked, "What’s wrong, Ann? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I’m not unwell!" Qin Sui’an dejectedly lowered her small head and said softly,
"Ann woke up late, and everyone has already left home!"
Qin Lvzheng breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "It’s not late. Adults have many things to do, so they wake up a bit earlier."
The old man floated beside them and added, "Ann, your daddy went to the company, your Eldest Brother went out, your Second Brother and fifth brother are still busy and haven’t come home yet, and your Sixth Brother was sent to school by your grandpa."
Qin Sui’an counted on her fingers, muttering to herself, "Daddy went to work, Eldest Brother went out, Second Brother went to work, Fifth Brother went to work, Sixth Brother went to school."
She blinked her round eyes and asked in confusion, "Third Brother, did Grandpa and Grandma also go to work?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Qin Lvzheng chuckled softly, "No, Grandpa and Grandma are enjoying the sun and flowers in the garden with your big white goose."
"In that case, after Ann finishes drinking milk, I want to go to the garden too!" Qin Sui’an happily curved her bright round eyes.
In the dining room, a temperature-controlled table was set with an exquisite and delicious breakfast.
Qin Lvzheng sat down while holding her and handed her the bottle filled with milk.
Qin Sui’an hugged the bottle she had longed for, contentedly drinking from it.
Qin Lvzheng lowered his head slightly, watching her drink the milk sip by sip.
The smile on his lips only grew.
His Adam’s apple gently bobbed, and seeing the blissful expression on Ann’s face, a question emerged in his mind: Is milk really that delicious?
Qin Lvzheng had already forgotten the exact taste of milk.
In his daily life, he mostly drank either black coffee or plain water, without a third option.
His gaze shifted to the bottle, and he could visibly see the milk slowly diminishing.
Just at that moment, the bottle suddenly moved forward, and the transparent nipple came close to his eyes.
Qin Lvzheng’s expression froze.
Qin Sui’an saw that Third Brother had been staring at her bottle and generously decided to share it with him.
She raised her own bottle high, blinked her bright round eyes, and in a childish voice, said, "Third Brother, drink!"
"Umm..."
Qin Lvzheng’s ears turned embarrassingly red.
If someone didn’t know better, they would think he was competing with a three-year-old for milk.
"I don’t want to drink."
He gently pushed the bottle back into Ann’s embrace.
"Ann, you drink it."
Qin Sui’an blinked her eyes in confusion, "Third Brother, don’t you want to drink?"
But she felt that the way her Third Brother looked at the bottle meant he really wanted to drink it!
"I don’t drink milk."
Qin Lvzheng immediately picked up his black coffee from the table.
"I drink this."
Afraid that Ann might want to feed him milk, he earnestly took several sips of black coffee.
"Oh!" Qin Sui’an glanced at the liquid in his cup and mumbled, "Third Brother likes to drink black, just like Daddy."
She wasn’t in a hurry to continue drinking milk.
Holding the milk bottle in her little hands, she gently tapped the coffee cup belonging to Third Brother, saying, "Cheers! Finish it all!"
Qin Lvzheng was taken aback, and a low, amused laughter escaped his lips.
He smiled with narrowed eyes, "Cheers!"
"Haha!" Qin Sui’an’s round eyes curved, and she continued to drink her milk, her little mouth still holding the bottle.
After the milk in the bottle was finished, Qin Lvzheng fed her other food until Ann’s tummy was round and full.
Only then did their breakfast come to an end.
Qin Sui’an leaned against her Third Brother’s embrace, her little face exuding a satisfied laziness after the meal.
Qin Lvzheng didn’t forget her desire to go to the garden.
Holding her, they walked out of the villa, heading towards the garden.
As for the content of the phone call he received, Qin Lvzheng didn’t feel any urgency to deal with it.
Those who dared to bully their Ann couldn’t be let off easily.
In the garden, the morning sun was warm and gentle.
Qin Haochen knew that Ann liked to come to the garden, so not only did he expand the cluster of special flowers, but he also rearranged the garden’s layout.
At this moment, Qin Huo and Lan Jin sat on the sofa chair under the parasol, with a delicate tea set placed on the nearby table.
They leisurely enjoyed the flowers and the tea.
The big white goose squatted beside the sofa chair, finding a comfortable spot.
Half of its body basked in the sun, while the other half stayed in the shade, occasionally changing its position.
Seeing this scene, Lan Jin couldn’t help but smile, her eyes narrowed in delight.
"Ah Huo, look! This big white goose is so clever! It even knows to switch sides to bask in the sun!"
Qin Huo, seeing her happy, also laughed along, "Yes, that’s our little granddaughter’s raised big white goose. How could it not be clever?"
The big white goose led them to the Shao family last night.
Qin Huo now thought that this big white goose was the incarnation of a divine goose, truly extraordinary.
