At this moment, Yun Qing had just come out of the coffee shop after a dazzling shopping experience in the mall.
Suddenly, a child darted out from in front of her and, before she could stop, crashed into her leg.
With a "thud," the little boy was hit and fell flat on his bottom.
Surprisingly, he didn't cry; he just pursed his lips, tears welling up in his eyes.
Many passersby were attracted by the little boy's good looks and went to help him up.
"Are you alright? Tell your sister your name? Where are your parents?"
Zhou Yunnan was a little dazed from the fall, and the burning pain in his buttocks reminded him of what had just happened.
I didn't want to cry in front of Yun Qing, but with someone comforting me, I couldn't hold back my tears and they fell down in big drops.
"Ouch, did you hurt yourself, kid? Where are your parents?"
A kind-hearted older woman rubbed his bottom and gently comforted him.
Upon hearing the words "father" and "mother," Zhou Yunnan instantly remembered something and looked at Yun Qing with a pitiful expression.
Yun Qing stood there, somewhat at a loss.
She recognized the child at a glance; for the past three years, the private investigator had sent her a photo of him every week.
The latest one was received before boarding the plane, and she set it as her screensaver.
However, the estrangement of three years cannot be easily erased. She was not prepared to meet him at all. At this moment, looking at Zhou Yunnan's aggrieved eyes, Yun Qing felt an urge to run away.
However, Zhou Yunnan, being naturally perceptive, seemed to have sensed her thoughts beforehand and ran over to hug her leg.
"Mom, don't go."
When Zhou Yunnan called out "Mom," the surrounding pedestrians were all stunned.
Zhou's mother and An Yanan, who had finally managed to find her, were also stunned.
Not only that, Zhou Sinian, who had received the bodyguard's message and followed the location, was stunned into place.
At that moment, Yun Qing felt the taste of death. She immediately took out her sunglasses from her pocket and put them on with trembling hands.
Then, with lightning speed, he grabbed Zhou Yunnan from the ground, pushed through the crowd, and ran away.
"Hey, my grandson!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Zhou's mother was the first to react and sprinted after him at top speed.
An Yanan also came to her senses and followed.
Only Zhou Sinian, lost in thought, showed no sign of anxiety on his face, but rather a surge of anger.
Unable to receive his instructions, the bodyguard behind him stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Zhou, should we go after them?"
"No need, stop my mom."
The bodyguard's usually calm expression almost cracked, as if to say: Are you sure?
Zhou Sinian's eyes sharpened: "Aren't you going yet?"
"Yes, boss."
A short while later, Zhou's mother was brought back.
Seeing her son's deathly expression, her anger flared up instantly.
"Zhou Sinian, why won't you let me pursue An'an?"
"Mom, with your old arms and legs, who can you possibly catch?"
"You, you," Zhou's mother jumped up and down in anger, holding Zhou Yunnan's screaming chicken, "Now I'll show you whether my old arms and legs are still of any use."
The president of the prestigious Yun'an Group was being chased and beaten by an old woman; Zhou Sinian could already imagine it becoming the headline news in Baigang City tomorrow.
He gave his bodyguard a wink and quickly slipped away.
On the other side, Zhou Yunnan was being held under Yun Qing's armpit, which made his stomach ache slightly. He wanted to tell his mother that he could get down and walk by himself.
But smelling the sweet fragrance in the air and looking at her beautiful profile, Zhou Yunnan silently swallowed the words he was about to say.
He clenched his little fists, quietly encouraging himself. It's okay, he's a little man, this little difficulty can't defeat him.
Since Mom likes it this way, as an obedient child, of course I can't say no.
After all, his father had told him that whatever his mother did was right, and that they, father and son, should never disobey her.
However, Yunqing did not appreciate Zhou Anan's good intentions.
As soon as she left the mall, she was panting heavily. She couldn't help but complain to herself, "What on earth is Zhou Sinian feeding his son? How come he's so fat?"
If Zhou Yunnan knew what she was thinking, he would probably burst into tears on the spot.
Actually, he is of normal weight for his age, but carrying a four-year-old child is not easy for most women.
Even Zhou's mother, who doted on her child, would have Zhou Sinian send someone to accompany Zhou Yunnan when they went out to play.
Who knew An Yanan was so insensitive? Even though she could see how exhausted An Yanan was, she didn't offer to help her hold the baby.
A short while later, Zhou Yunnan was put down.
Yun Qing casually opened her bag, took out a silk scarf, wrapped it around Zhou Yunnan's hand, tied a knot, and held the other end herself.
"That's good. Stay close to me and don't get lost."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunnan gripped the silk scarf tightly, her fair face filled with determination.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm a key player in the championship class of the middle class tug-of-war competition at Anning District International Kindergarten."
Yun Qing glanced down at his chubby arms and thought they were still convincing.
Once in the car, Zhou Yunnan was so excited that he probably would have jumped up if the seatbelt hadn't been holding him back.
Yun Qing gave him a serious look and said solemnly, "Zhou Yunnan, have you thought this through? Do you really want to come with me? It's not too late to back out now."
Hearing Yun Qing's question, Zhou Yunnan stopped his fussing and looked up at her with a wronged expression: "Mom, do you not want me anymore? I promise, I will be very good and will never cause you any trouble."
