Qingqing, who was originally held by her nanny Xiao Yang, suddenly broke free from the nanny's arms and rushed towards the stage.
Han Rou showed a gentle smile on her face. She bent down and opened her arms, just as she was about to catch Qingqing, but Qingqing turned around and threw herself into Xiong Xiangzhong's arms, bursting into tears: "Daddy, Daddy, I will be a good boy in the future, please don't leave me..."
At the wedding, the original wife's child suddenly burst into tears. Although he did not say that he opposed his father marrying his stepmother, his cry was like a slap in the face to Han Rou.
The smile on Han Rou's face suddenly froze.
She stood there, her head buzzing. At that moment, she felt that the guests' whispers were all mocking her.
Han Shuo sighed, took a step forward, put his big hand on her shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
Han Rou didn't say anything.
Xiong Xiangzhong bent down and picked up Qingqing, and wiped the tears from her face with his rough fingertips. In just a few strokes, Qingqing's skin turned red, and Qingqing cried even harder.
Xiong Xiangzhong was at a loss and hurried to comfort her: "Don't cry, Qingqing, you are daddy's precious daughter, daddy will never give up on you..."
After a brief moment of silence, Han Rou brushed away Han Shuo's hand on her shoulder, and her pretty face returned to its gentle and kind expression.
She walked up to Xiong Xiangzhong, gently took Qingqing's hand in her arms, and said softly: "Yes, Qingqing, you will always be the treasure of the family. Dad loves you, and Mom Han will love you as much as Dad in the future."
"Really?" Qingqing leaned on Xiong Xiangzhong's shoulder, with some distrust in her tone.
"Of course it's real." Han Rou raised her hand and touched Qingqing's hair. She took out a piece of big rabbit candy from her shirt pocket and said with a smile, "Mother Han even brought some big rabbit candy for Qingqing yesterday. Qingqing, do you want some?"
The Big Rabbit Toffees were incredibly attractive to children, and Qingqing immediately nodded, "Yes."
Han Rou peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed it into Qingqing's mouth, and let her eat it.
"Qingqing, is the milk candy delicious?"
Qingqing held the candy in her mouth and said "hmm".
Han Rou clapped her hands and said, "Can Mother Han give you a hug?"
"Okay." Qingqing opened her arms and let Han Rou hold her in her arms without any resistance.
Han Rou held her in her arms and sat down on the seat. She asked her softly, "Qingqing, why did you suddenly throw yourself into Daddy's arms and cry just now? Did someone say something to you?"
Qingqing nodded: "Auntie Yang said that after Han's mother and father get married and have their own baby, they won't want me anymore..."
When Han Rou heard this, her eyes turned cold and a sinister look flashed in her eyes.
What was even more coincidental was that at this time, Xiao Yang, the nanny who was taking care of Qingqing, came over and wanted to take Qingqing away, and happened to hear what Qingqing said to Han Rou.
She froze in place, her fingers clenching nervously: "Han, Comrade Han, this, this is a misunderstanding. I didn't tell Qingqing that. I just told her to be a good boy in the future and not to make Mother Han angry..."
Han Rou glanced at her and asked coldly, "You don't need to explain. You just need to answer, have you ever scared her with words like 'Her father and I don't want her anymore'?"
Xiao Yang lowered his head and said nothing.
Han Rou's eyes instantly turned red, and she choked up, "Comrade Yang, I haven't offended you before, have I? Being a stepmother is hard enough, so why did you say such hurtful words to her in front of the child? The child is immature, and are you immature too? Do you know that this incident at the wedding embarrassed me?"
As soon as Han Rou finished speaking, Xiao Yang's face instantly turned pale. "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it... I just... I just said that when Qingqing was disobedient. Isn't it the same for everyone? When a child is disobedient, you scare the child by saying that mom and dad don't want her anymore, so that the child will be obedient. I, I really didn't mean it..."
"How can Qingqing be the same as other children?" Han Rou asked seriously, "Qingqing will take it seriously if you say that! She must be very afraid of being abandoned..."
Han Rou hugged Qingqing lovingly and kissed her forehead. The pity in her eyes almost turned into substance and flowed out of her eyes. At this moment, no matter who saw her, she was a genuine, responsible and good stepmother.
At the same time, countless condemning eyes suddenly fell on Xiao Yang, and the strange look he originally gave Han Rou gradually turned into sympathy and recognition.
Xiao Yang stood stiffly in front of Han Rou, almost crying.
She hadn't meant to sow discord between Qingqing and her stepmother. She was just a nanny, and she knew her place. Besides, what business was it of hers whether Qingqing's father arranged for her to marry a stepmother? She only earned fifteen yuan a month, and that was her duty.
She had scared Qingqing twice, but that was a few days ago. How could she have thought that Qingqing would suddenly do this during the wedding?
Han Rou wondered if she had said something to Qingqing. She also wondered if someone was teasing Qingqing on purpose!
