"Yes," Qin Haochen couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "Ann has waited for a long time."
Qin Sui’an shook her little head, "Not long, not long."
As soon as they entered the living room, she immediately noticed a white box on the table, her curious gaze fixed on it.
Qin Haochen held her and sat down on the sofa closest to the white box.
Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes and looked at her daddy as he took the white box and opened it. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Inside was a brand new pearl pink-colored smartphone.
Qin Sui’an blinked again, her childish voice involuntarily murmuring, "It looks just like Daddy’s phone, just a different color."
"Yes, it’s the same model as Daddy’s phone, just a different color."
Qin Haochen inserted the new SIM card belonging to Ann into the phone’s slot and turned on the pink device.
He had asked He Yan to buy a new phone for Ann so that when she woke up late, she could make a video call and see him, and he could see her too.
Qin Haochen patiently operated the phone and softly explained, "Ann, it’s okay to wake up late from now on. If you miss Daddy, you can use this phone to call me. Like this, tap here, then tap here."
Qin Haochen entered his own phone number, edited the contact details, and taught her how to make a video call.
The next second, Qin Haochen’s phone rang.
He took out his phone and, under the gaze of Ann, pressed the answer button.
On the screens of their identical phones, their faces appeared, and the father and daughter smiled at each other simultaneously.
Qin Sui’an happily reached out her little hand and touched the phone screen, saying, "Daddy lives inside the phone, and Ann lives inside the phone too."
"Yes," Qin Haochen handed her the pink phone, "Ann, whenever you miss Daddy, you can call me anytime."
Qin Sui’an cradled the phone, furrowing her brows as she looked at her reflection on the screen, "But Daddy is working, and Ann might disturb Daddy."
"No, you won’t."
Qin Haochen placed the phone on the table and spread his hands, "Look, the phone is here, Daddy can continue working."
Qin Haochen couldn’t bear to let Qin Corporation lose money because of Ann.
Otherwise, he could simply not go to work and stay by her side every day.
In his heart, Ann was more important than work, and this was an undeniable fact.
Qin Sui’an looked at the phone placed on the table, then raised her face and looked at her daddy, happily widening her round eyes, "That’s great!"
"Do you remember how to call Daddy?"
Qin Haochen ended the video call and asked.
"I remember," Qin Sui’an remembered very clearly.
She couldn’t hold the phone that was bigger than her hand, so she cleverly used her round little belly as a support, one hand holding the phone while the other carefully tapped on the screen.
Qin Haochen looked at her little milk belly, and a doting expression seemed to overflow from his eyes.
"Tap here, then tap here," as Qin Sui’an’s childish voice fell, Qin Haochen’s phone rang.
Qin Sui’an looked at him with bright, shining eyes, as if saying, "Daddy, Ann did it!"
Qin Haochen chuckled lightly, rubbed her little head, and praised her softly, "Ann is amazing!"
**
At the entrance of Bay Villa.
Every time Shen Shuwen had the thought of going home, she always felt that maybe if she waited for one more minute or ten more minutes, the Qin family would let her in.
Ten sets of ten minutes had passed, and Shen Shuwen had asked the bodyguards several times when she could go in, but their answer remained unchanged: "Sorry, Mrs. Shao, you still can’t go in."
Shen Shuwen’s handkerchief had been completely soaked with her sweat, and it had also stained her makeup.
Even without looking in the mirror, she knew her face must look terrible.
And her expression was even worse than her face, her mood was even worse than that.
Shen Shuwen glanced at the time, then at the closed door.
She gritted her teeth, looked at the bodyguard, and couldn’t force a smile anymore.
She angrily asked, "It’s already two in the afternoon! Can’t I go in yet?"
The bodyguard remained composed, maintaining a cold demeanor.
"Mrs. Shao, are you looking for Miss An’an?"
"Otherwise? It was that lawyer from your Qin family who insisted I come and apologize!"
Shen Shuwen grumbled, devoid of any grace or elegance, "I came early in the morning, and now it’s already two in the afternoon! Isn’t that apology sincere enough?"
The bodyguard’s expression didn’t waver as he listened to her long string of words, calmly stating, "Apologies, Mrs. Shao, but Miss An’an is not at home. Please come again next time."
"What...What did you say?"
Shen Shuwen became furious, pointing her beautifully manicured finger towards the closed door, "This door hasn’t been opened since your President Qin family’s car entered! If you don’t want to see me, just say it directly! There’s no need to deceive me with such words!"
Ha, using the excuse of "not being at home" to drive her away? How laughable!
The bodyguard spoke, his tone remarkably calm, "Mrs. Shao, the Bay Villa has more than one exit."
The meaning was clear: Miss An’an had left the Bay Villa through another exit, and indeed, she was not at home now.
Shen Shuwen felt a surge of blood rush to her throat, trembling fingers pointing, "You... Qin family have gone too far!"
After uttering her final word, it was as if a nerve that had been held for a long time suddenly snapped.
Shen Shuwen’s eyes went black, and she fainted on the spot.
This time, she truly fainted.
Three parts due to the scorching sun, and seven parts due to anger.
Finally, the bodyguard took action.
He walked to the side of the Shao family’s car and knocked on the window, "Mrs. Shao has fainted."
The driver, who had been dozing off in the car, woke up abruptly and hurriedly got out, flustered, "Madam! Madam!"
The driver dialed 120, calling for an ambulance to take away the unconscious Shen Shuwen.
Meanwhile, a Bentley parked discreetly at the entrance of the city’s most luxurious shopping mall.
The bodyguard opened the back door.
Qin Lvzheng stepped out of the car first, then carefully supported his grandmother, Lan Jin, as she got out.
He then picked up his sister Ann from the child seat.
Qin Haochen didn’t get out of the car; he remained seated inside.
He handed a card to his mother, saying, "Mom, buy whatever you like later."
Lan Jin glanced at the card with disdain, feeling insulted by her own son.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, "I have plenty of money. Have you ever seen me lacking money to spend?"
Qin Haochen coughed, admitting that he had never seen it, never seen it before.
"Mom, that’s not what I meant."
"Take it back!"
Lan Jin pretended to be angry, hmphed, "Daring to insult me with money! Hmph, even Ah Ho wouldn’t treat me like this!"
