At this time, Song Junwan also keenly noticed Xiao Ning's difficulty, and her voice was gentle and concerned:
"What's wrong, Ning'er?"
"It's okay, Aunt Song, you guys sit down first, I'll go wake up Sister Rouxue."
Xiao Ning shook his head and tried to break free from Chu Qian's restraints and leave. However, at this moment, Chu Qian seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, tightly grasping Xiao Ning's arm and refusing to let go.
"Mother, I'm going to call Sister Rouxue to eat. Please sit down first."
Xiao Ning spoke gently to Chu Qian, but what he got in return was Chu Qian's fierce voice.
"No! No! Ning'er, don't leave me! I don't want you to leave me here alone!"
Chu Qian's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were filled with reluctance and uneasiness.
Xiao Ning looked at Chu Qian in confusion, his mind filled with countless questions. He didn't understand why Chu Qian suddenly became so dependent on him, as if she was afraid of losing him.
At this critical moment, Xiyue's sharp eyes quickly caught the looming problem between the two of them like lightning. She jumped up from her seat without hesitation and hurried to Chu Qian's side.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
Xiyue's caring words were like a spring breeze, gentle and warm, but they could not conceal the deep worry in them.
Chu Qian slowly raised her head upon hearing the voice, first staring at Xiyue's face which was full of anxiety and concern, and then her gaze slid across the figures of everyone present like a swimming fish.
Finally, her eyes were fixed on Song Junwan's face as if attracted by a magnet. Song Junwan also looked worried at this moment, and asked anxiously:
"Sister Qian, what happened?"
However, facing Song Junwan's concern, Chu Qian was like a frightened rabbit. She suddenly hugged Xiao Ning's waist and buried her face deeply in his clothes in a flash. She didn't even dare to look at Song Junwan again.
It was as if Song Junwan had suddenly turned into a hideous, terrifying monster, which made Chu Qian so frightened that she just wanted to run away.
Xiao Ning, who was standing by, also understood the reason. He saw through Chu Qian's inner thoughts at this moment - she was probably feeling guilty for hurting Song Junwan. So, without saying anything, Xiao Ning hugged Chu Qian tightly, who was trembling in his arms, and left the place quickly with her.
"Aunt Song, mother is feeling a little unwell all of a sudden. I'll take her back to rest. You guys can eat first! You don't have to wait for us."
While saying sorry, Xiao Ning protected Chu Qian as he walked further and further away, and soon disappeared from people's sight.
