Upon seeing this, Qiu Yan felt a sudden surge of tension.
If Li Wenshu was really killed by this man, then this man must not be a good person.
Even if not for Gu Qian, she should still protect Gu Xiaoran for the sake of the Li family.
She took Gu Xiaoran from Ling Qi's arms and held him tightly in her embrace, as if afraid that the man would try to take the child from her.
If Xiao Ran is taken away by this man and raised by her stepmother, then Xiao Ran's good days will be over.
Before anything even happened, Qiu Yan had already imagined it all, fearing that Xiao Ran might suffer the slightest injustice.
Gu Xiaoran was startled by Qiu Yan's actions. "Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Qiu Yan loosened her grip slightly and couldn't help but give a self-deprecating smile.
Qiu Xu looked at the small boat behind him with disapproval, his heart set on protecting his sister.
Qiu Ling'er followed closely behind her brother and asked Qiu Yan, "Sister, isn't that person a human trafficker trying to kidnap Xiao Ran?"
After all, this kind of thing has happened more than once.
This is all because Gu Xiaoran is too naughty.
Gu Xiaoran's face turned pale, and she tightly gripped Qiu Yan's arms with her small hands.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Dayu laughed and said, "It's not human teeth, it's a fool's tooth."
If it were human teeth, the expression wouldn't have been like that just now.
Qiu Dayu's witty remark made everyone on the cruise ship laugh, easing Qiu Yan's anxiety.
Qiu Yan thought about it and agreed; she didn't need to let this inexplicably mentally challenged child affect her mood.
At this moment, she simply held Gu Xiaoran tightly in her arms, quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery with her family.
It has to be said that with Ling Qi and Ling Ba protecting her, she felt quite at ease.
He Lin remained immersed in his own world, letting Zhan Yue quietly follow the cruise ship ahead.
Until he saw figures on the shore.
As the cruise ship gently rocked, Gu Xiaoran rested her little head on Qiu Yan's shoulder and began to doze off.
But the thought of that strange uncle trying to take him away kept him from sleeping, and he drifted in and out of sleep.
"Xiaoyan, Xiaoran looks like a little piglet. Let me hold her, and your uncle will help you carry her."
As Qiu Dayu spoke, he stepped forward, intending to hug Gu Xiaoran.
Unfortunately, Gu Xiaoran pushed him away. "Xiaoran wants her mother to hold her."
My arms get a little sore from holding Gu Xiaoran's chubby body for so long.
Not only Qiu Yan, but Qiu Dayu had also told Gu Xiaoran more than once to eat less, but he could never control his gluttonous mouth.
Gu Xiaoran frowned as she drifted off to sleep.
He opened his eyes, wrapped his arms around Qiu Yan's neck, and hugged her tightly.
Qiu Dayu took a step back: "Sigh, Xiao Ran, you brat, you don't know what's good for you. Also, my niece isn't married yet, so don't keep ruining her reputation."
Qiu Dayu's second half of his sentence was exactly what Qiu Yumei wanted to hear.
She also felt that Gu Xiaoran's way of addressing her was inappropriate.
Ever since she first heard Gu Xiaoran address Qiu Yan that way, she had tried to stop her, but hadn't corrected her yet. "Xiaoran, that's not a good way to address her."
Qiu Yan gently patted Gu Xiaohou's back, whispering:
"Xiao Ran, grow up quickly. When you grow up, you can protect yourself."
"Yan Yan..." A distant voice, carried by the wind, drifted into my ears along the layers of lake water.
Qiu Yan shook her head. How could she suddenly be hallucinating?
"Yan Yan..." After several more calls, Qiu Yan suddenly turned around.
Many tourist boats came and went behind me, but I did not see the person I longed for.
"Yan Yan." Another call rang out, and Qiu Yan's gaze pierced through the layers of cruise ships. Finally, she spotted a small boat on the lake.
