“The real estate agent who used to rent out my half of the apartment building called a few days ago, saying that there was a family emergency and he might not be able to return to D City for a long time after the New Year. He has already found someone to take over the agency business. I need to sign an authorization for the new person in charge, otherwise who will manage the rental matters in the future? I just contacted him by text message, and there are people in the company.”
"Besides, I just happened to be passing by this time, so signing a few documents was quick. Otherwise, it would be even more inconvenient for me to go out in the short term after I give birth."
That is indeed a problem. Han Yunqi pondered for a moment, then heard Tang Xiaoxiao say, "Don't worry, I'm fine. You all treat me like a fragile object. I'm not that delicate."
"It never hurts to be careful," Han Yunqi muttered, but he did relent and turned off the highway when he reached D City.
The real estate agency wasn't far from Tang Xiaoxiao's apartment building, just two streets away. After Tang Xiaoxiao quickly signed a series of contracts, the two of them went out and slowly walked towards the parking lot along the roadside. Suddenly, a man darted out from an alley not far ahead, carrying a little girl in his arms, and ran straight towards them.
The little girl looked to be only four or five years old. She was crying incessantly in the man's arms, but the man ignored her and was about to pass by the two of them.
Han Yunqi stepped forward and stood in front of Tang Xiaoxiao, staring at the man warily, afraid that he might bump into Tang Xiaoxiao.
Tang Xiaoxiao had sharp eyes and had already seen the man's fierce eyes. With a sudden thought, she stretched out her leg as the man ran past her, and the man was caught off guard and tripped by her, falling forward.
The little girl in his arms also slipped from his grasp.
Tang Xiaoxiao reacted quickly, snatching the little girl away before she could fall.
Not only that man, but even Han Yunqi was stunned by her sudden action.
Because it was winter, the man was wearing a thick down jacket, so the fall didn't hurt him too much. He quickly got up and glared at Tang Xiaoxiao angrily: "What are you doing? Give me the child!"
Tang Xiaoxiao held the child in one arm without much difficulty, carefully avoiding her stomach, and sneered at the man, "Is this your child?"
The man paused for a moment, then said fiercely, "Of course she's my child! Give me back my daughter!"
Tang Xiaoxiao ignored him and looked at the little girl in her arms. She seemed to have forgotten to cry because of the fright she had just received. Her little nose was twitching and she looked very pitiful.
"Little sister, is he your father?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes at Tang Xiaoxiao. Perhaps because she thought the older sister in front of her was so beautiful and gentle, she gradually became less afraid than before. Tang Xiaoxiao asked again patiently, and the little girl finally responded by shaking her head.
When Tang Xiaoxiao asked the little girl a question, the man tried to reach out and snatch the girl, but Han Yunqi stopped him firmly.
"See? The child says you're not her father."
"I...I'm her uncle!" the man said, his eyes darting around.
But he seemed to have forgotten that the little girl wasn't a baby who couldn't speak, but a four or five-year-old who was already quite sensible. At this moment, under Tang Xiaoxiao's reassurance, she had regained her composure and shouted, "He's lying! He's a bad person!"
The child's voice was clear and crisp, with a slight nasal tone; the little child loudly expressed his anger.
Cute yet fierce.
Seeing that things were not going to work out, the man tried to run away, but Han Yunqi grabbed his wrist and he struggled a few times but could not break free.
