The old lady's voice was filled with sorrow, which made Huo Yuwei feel a pang of sadness. He quickly picked up Qiqi and went to greet her.
"Grandma, it's Awei back..." Too late!
Before he could finish his excited words, the old lady was already close by. Without even glancing at him, she reached out and snatched the little girl from his arms.
"Oh dear, Grandma's Qibao, are you hurt? What could be so important that you, a little girl, have to handle it all by yourself? Your skin is so delicate, what if you get hurt!"
As she spoke, Madam Huo looked the little girl up and down.
Seeing that she was completely unharmed, without even a single hair missing, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense for so long, finally settled down.
Behind them, Madam Ji, who had followed, spoke gently, "Madam, I've already told you that you don't need to worry about it. Although Qi Bao is young, she is very capable and will not be in any danger."
That's what he said, but his concerned gaze still swept over the little girl up and down with unease.
Seeing that she had no broken skin, her smile seemed more genuine.
Huo Yuwei, left standing to the side: ...
I was completely dumbfounded!
Or should he go first?
Seeing that the young master looked unwell, Uncle Sun quickly spoke up, "Madam, it's the young master. The young master is back."
Old Madam Huo originally wanted to ask Qiqi a few more questions, but was interrupted by Uncle Sun, and immediately became a little impatient, "So what if she's back? What's the big deal? Old Sun, why do you get more and more of a fuss as you get older!"
Uncle Sun: ...
Huo Yuwei: ...
He should report on his mission first.
Perhaps because her grandson's resentful gaze was too obvious, Old Madam Huo reluctantly glanced at him and then said indifferently, "You're back."
Huo Yuwei: ...
Grandma, could you be any more perfunctory?
"Yes, Grandma, I'm back."
"It's good that you're back." Looking at her grandson's haggard and worn appearance, Old Madam Huo couldn't hold back her heartache, and her voice choked with emotion. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
My eldest grandson has gotten darker and thinner.
He had lost his former sharpness, his eyes had lost their former vigor, and he exuded a sense of dejection.
Knowing that his journey must have been extremely difficult and filled with hardship, Madam Huo's eyes revealed sadness.
"Grandma Huo," noticing the change in Madam Huo's mood, Qiqi leaned on Madam Huo's shoulder and tried to divert her attention with her childish voice, "Qiqi is hungry, Qiqi wants to eat."
Sure enough, upon hearing the little girl say she was hungry, Old Madam Huo instantly forgot her sadness.
"Oh dear, I forgot that our Qi Bao has a big appetite and digests quickly. Grandma Huo has just had a table full of your favorite dishes prepared, let's eat and chat!"
"Yay!"
In the dining room.
Madam Ji originally wanted to sit next to Qiqi, but she didn't get the chance at all.
Madam Huo immediately picked up the little girl and settled her down next to her.
Madam Ji had no choice but to sit down on the other side of Qi Qi.
The servants brought out one delicious dish after another, and Madam Ji didn't have to lift a finger. Old Madam Huo was incredibly enthusiastic about feeding Qiqi.
Qiqi's little bowl was prepared separately for her by Old Madam Huo after she returned from Jiangcheng, and the bowl was almost never empty.
The little girl kept her head down and ate quietly, her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster, without even a chance to speak. Huo Yuwei had to eat while answering Madam Ji and the others' questions.
Upon learning that Qiqi had run away from the airport to save him, Madam Huo expressed her gratitude once again, saying that she had worked hard and kept piling food onto Qiqi's plate, urging her to eat more to replenish her strength.
Rao Shi had a huge appetite, just like Qi Qi, and for the first time, she felt what a burden was.
Huo Yuwei, who was having his first meal with Qiqi, frowned with some concern as he looked at the little girl's bowl piled high with food.
"Grandma, aren't you giving Qiqi too much food? She's only three years old. Eating so much will cause her indigestion!"
What surprised him most was that the little girl's mother didn't even try to stop it.
Just as Qiqi finished eating a chicken wing, she prepared to attack the next one.
Hearing this, she said in a soft, sweet voice, "It's okay, Brother Huo, I have a big appetite, I can eat lots and lots!"
Madam Ji also explained softly, "Qiqi is a little different from other children. Don't let her small size fool you, she eats seven times more than a normal person. Moreover, she digests quickly and has a high energy expenditure, so she won't have indigestion no matter how much she eats, so there's no need to worry."
"Alright then!" Hearing what they all said, Huo Yuwei could only nod.
However, I still didn't quite believe it, after all, no matter how much she could eat, she was still just a three-year-old child.
However, when he saw with his own eyes that Qiqi had devoured all the non-spicy dishes on the table, Huo Yuwei was left only with shock.
Seriously, do three-year-olds eat this much these days?
They are even more terrifying than special forces soldiers who undergo extremely intense training!
After eating and drinking her fill, Qiqi let out a satisfied burp, sprawled on the sofa, revealing her plump yet soft little belly.
With each breath, her lower abdomen rose and fell in curves, like a balloon blown to its maximum.
Even Madam Ji was a little worried, "Qi Bao, you ate more than usual today, aren't you feeling unwell?"
"No!" Qiqi rested her head on Madam Ji's lap, comfortably closing her eyes. She rummaged in her bag with one hand and pulled out a pill. "Mommy, is your tummy upset? I have a digestive pill here. It will make you feel better!"
As he spoke, he handed over the pill.
Madam Ji wanted to say that she was not feeling unwell, but thinking that her little girl always ate a lot when she encountered something she liked, she was worried that she might forget about being full and eat too much one day, so she simply took it and put it in her pocket for future use.
The maid came over and said, "Madam, the room for the guest has been prepared. Please go and rest."
"Qibao, how about you go take a nap with Mommy? When you wake up, Grandma will take you out to play!"
To everyone's surprise, Qiqi shook her head. "Grandma, we can't sleep yet, because a very important guest is coming soon!"
A very important guest?
Old Madam Huo glanced at Madam Ji with a puzzled look. Knowing that Qi Qi and the others would be coming today, Old Madam Huo had specially postponed her plans for the next few days, wanting to focus on showing Qi Qi and the others around Beijing.
They hadn't invited any guests to the Huo residence, so they naturally assumed the guests were from Madam Ji's side.
To everyone's surprise, Madam Ji also looked completely bewildered.
"They've come to see me!" Qiqi opened her eyes and looked at Huo Yuwei. "They've also come to see Big Brother Huo!"
"Looking for me?" Huo Yuwei was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Could it be..."
Qiqi nodded and smiled mischievously, "That's right!"
