Qiqi's big eyes darted around, "It will definitely have an effect over time..."
One sentence made the couple's hearts jump again.
"...However," Qiqi's tone changed, and she said in her childish voice, "with me here, this kind of influence is impossible to occur, so Mom and Dad don't need to worry!"
Ji Chengfeng: ...
He exchanged a helpless glance with his wife, then reached out and poked their little girl's forehead. "Qi Bao, who taught you to breathe so heavily?"
"Dad taught me!" Qiqi blinked, her expression exceptionally sincere.
Ji Chengfeng: ...
This is a real headache – lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot!
Seeing his discomfiture, Madam Ji chuckled to herself and pinched her little girl's cheek.
"Alright, I'm relieved to hear that. Go and give Xiao Jiu acupuncture!"
Okay.
Qiqi jumped off the bed and ran towards the door.
She tiptoed to turn the doorknob, and as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned back and glanced at Ji Chengfeng.
"Dad, you shouldn't come with us when we go to Beijing. Be careful when you travel by car these days, and have the driver check the undercarriage of the car more often."
Ji Chengfeng was taken aback, then his expression turned serious. "What's wrong? Am I in some danger?"
Qiqi remained silent.
Madam Ji immediately glared at him, "Just listen to what Qi Bao says, why ask so many questions?!"
Ji Chengfeng immediately realized that revealing too many secrets wouldn't be good for Qiqi either.
He nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll be careful lately. But in Beijing, I still..."
"No!" Qiqi gripped the doorknob, her pretty little face unusually serious.
Ji Chengfeng had never seen her so serious before. He thought that if he insisted on going with her, there was a high probability that he would really encounter danger, and who knows, he might even implicate his wife and daughter.
Although he was very reluctant to be separated from his wife and daughter, he would never want to do so if it would put them in danger.
“Okay, then Dad won’t go.” Ji Chengfeng made the decision with a pained expression, adding resentfully, “Then remember to video chat with Dad every day, otherwise even if Dad dies, he will still run to Beijing to see you.”
"Well... alright!" Qiqi pretended to be hesitant, but in reality, the corners of her mouth were already turning up in a smile.
Yay! I successfully fooled Dad!
It wasn't that Qiqi didn't want Ji Chengfeng to go with them, but mainly that if her father went with them, he would definitely interfere in everything and boss around her brother Xiao Jiu.
She wanted to protect her brother Xiao Jiu, but she didn't want to hurt her father's feelings, so she was caught in a dilemma.
So the best solution is to not let Dad go!
However, Ji Chengfeng has indeed recently encountered a minor setback.
Although it's not a big problem with her around, it's still better to avoid her if possible.
Qiqi closed the door and skipped off to find Huo Yusen.
In the bedroom, Ji Chengfeng closed the door and immediately pulled Madam Ji into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, his tone resentful.
"Honey, what should I do? You haven't left yet, and I'm already starting to miss you."
Madam Ji shrugged. "Alright, you're all so old, why are you still acting all coquettish and helpless?"
"No, really!"
He was all prepared to go with them, but now his little girl has "forced" him to give up.
I'm already feeling sad even though we haven't separated yet.
Madam Ji was speechless and struggled to get out of his arms.
"Qi Bao's acupuncture is exhausting, I'll go cut some fruit and take it to her."
Upon hearing that it was for his youngest daughter, Ji Chengfeng reluctantly let go.
Watching Madam Ji leave, he said, "Wife, you must come back soon."
Madam Ji completely ignored it.
In Huo Yusen's bedroom.
The little boy was sitting in a wheelchair, talking on the phone by the window.
His expression was cold and stern, with a faint, chilling killing intent in his eyes. A faint black mist flowed quietly around him, like a large black cocoon, enveloping him.
"Since you've already confessed, then gather the evidence and send it to the police station."
"It's time to start hauling in the nets we cast earlier."
"There's no need for a formal meeting with the main family; they'll find out naturally once the purge begins."
"If anything obstructs your way, don't hold back, just deal with it!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock knock!
Huo Yusen turned around abruptly, his eyes narrowed, and he asked coldly, "Who?"
"Brother Xiao Jiu, it's me!" Qi Qi's sweet voice rang out from outside the door. "May I come in? I'm here to give you acupuncture!"
Upon hearing the little girl's name, the glacier in Huo Yusen's eyes melted away in an instant, replaced by the warmth of a gentle spring breeze.
"Come in."
He covered the microphone and whispered quickly to the other end, "Qiqi is here. You handle the rest."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Qiqi pushed the door open and came in just as Huo Yusen was putting his phone away.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, who are you calling?" the little girl asked casually as she closed the door.
“Tell Grandma the good news that you’re coming back with me,” Huo Yusen said, maneuvering his wheelchair over. “Grandma was overjoyed when she heard you were coming. She kept asking when we were leaving so she could pick us up at the airport.”
"Really? Grandma Huo likes me that much!"
"Yes, our Qiqi is just that lovable!"
Huo Yusen looked at the little girl with such tenderness that it was almost dripping with affection.
The little girl was so embarrassed by all the stares that her chubby little face turned rosy.
"Grandma Huo is getting old, let's not make her work too hard, we can go by ourselves!"
"Okay, I'll do whatever Qiqi says."
When Madam Ji came to deliver fruit, Qiqi had just finished giving Huo Yusen acupuncture.
The atmosphere between the two children was harmonious and loving.
"Qibao, take a rest and have some fruit."
"Thank you, Mom."
Madam Ji put down the fruit plate and, instead of leaving immediately, sat down on the edge of the bed.
Looking at Huo Yusen, whose legs were covered in thorns, he asked, "Xiao Jiu, have you finished dealing with everything here?"
These past few days, Huo Yusen has been leaving early and returning late, and has been missing for extended periods of time at a time.
Although Madam Ji did not ask, she actually knew what was going on, but she did not ask him specifically what he was doing outside.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Auntie. Everything is taken care of." Huo Yusen said respectfully. "If possible, we can set off tomorrow."
"I'm fine with anything, it mainly depends on Qiqi."
Qiqi, biting into an apple, answered crisply, "The day after tomorrow, I promise Grandpa Jiang at the lakeside villa that I'll help him with something. Once it's done, we can set off."
"Okay, then it'll be the day after tomorrow. I'll have someone book the tickets!"
"Okay." Madam Ji stood up, patted Qiqi's head and said, "Mom won't disturb you any longer, get some rest."
"Okay, goodnight, Mom!"
Madam Ji left.
Qiqi forked a green grape and fed it to Huo Yusen, "Brother Xiao Jiu, the devil is the best at lying. No matter what he tells you, you must not believe him, understand?"
