Shen Nanxun glanced up with a rather indifferent expression, her voice flat: "What, do I need to report to you when I'm coming back?"
His eyes were slightly narrowed, conveying a sense of coldness and aloofness.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw an elderly man stagger to his feet, holding a chubby baby in his arms.
A chubby baby?
Shen Nanxun frowned and asked, "What happened?"
If he wasn't mistaken, he had been beaten by the servants in the manor.
The servant hurriedly replied, "It's those two filthy beggars who came here..."
"No! We're not begging!"
Chi Tang answered loudly, struggling in her father's arms: "Father, hurry, save An'an!"
This person is clearly someone of high status from the Yongchang Earl's household.
Even if they might not be willing to help, we should still give it a try.
Old Man Chi, dragging his injured leg and carrying his daughter in one arm, hurriedly ran over.
The servants, worried that they might say something inappropriate, hurriedly stopped them: "Young Master, you mustn't speak to such lowly people; it might defile you!"
"Is that so? Let them come over."
Shen Nanxun gave the order in a calm tone.
If it weren't for this servant's urgent intervention, he probably wouldn't have bothered with such a trivial matter.
only……
I don't know if it's because I'm so eager to find that chubby girl, but now whenever I see someone holding her, I subconsciously assume it's her.
“My esteemed sir, more than half a year ago, Jinyang City was struck by a natural disaster, and my family fled. On the way, when we passed through Jinyang Town, my grandson An’an was abducted. We searched for him for a long time... and then, by chance, we found that An’an had been sold to your esteemed household.”
“We want to pay to redeem our grandson, but your family refuses.”
"My esteemed guest, An'an is truly my grandson! That child, that child's mother, even on her deathbed, was still longing for An'an to return!"
Old Man Chi knelt there, pleading humbly.
It turns out that power really can be above life.
Chi Tang also desperately poked her head out and said in a crisp voice, "Oh, it's you, esteemed guest."
After looking up and clearly seeing Shen Nanxun's appearance, Chi Tang blinked, both surprised and delighted.
Isn't this the beautiful woman with asthma?
"Fatty girl?"
Shen Nanxun was also surprised.
He had sent people to search for so long, but he never expected to run into this girl at his own doorstep.
Really...
What a coincidence!
The word "fate" lingered on Shen Nanxun's lips for a long time before she couldn't help but smile.
"What a coincidence!"
You recognize him?
The servants' foreheads began to sweat.
Old Man Chi was a little confused: "Daughter?"
What's going on?
How could my daughter possibly know the important person in front of her?
At my daughter's age, it's impossible for her to go out and meet important people in the capital on her own.
"Hey handsome brother, can you do me a favor?" Chi Tang bowed pitifully, trying to be cute, just wanting Shen Nanxun to help her.
"You actually remember me? You were only four or five months old back then, right? How could you have memories?" Shen Nanxun said, seemingly unrelated to the question.
That's really surprising.
After all, how could a baby who is only a few months old have any memories?
Even if he didn't understand infants, he knew that it was impossible for a child to have memories at just a few months old.
"Hey, handsome, let's talk about this later, okay?"
What's wrong with this person?
Could you please tell me? Why are you bringing up other things?
This made Chi Tang so anxious that she almost jumped out of Old Man Chi's arms.
Shen Nanxun lowered his head and actually lifted Chi Tang out of Old Man Chi's arms.
“You…” Old Man Chi hesitated.
Even though his daughter knew him, he still hesitated.
He only let go when he saw that his daughter didn't resist.
Shen Nanxun nodded and, without turning his head, ordered, "Go to the manor and check if there is a servant or child named An'an. If so, bring her to my courtyard."
"Fatty, shall we go inside and wait?"
Shen Nanxun acted as if he couldn't see Old Man Chi at all, and simply picked up the girl and left.
Hongling went to call Old Man Chi to follow.
As for the servants who just beat someone, someone will naturally take care of them.
Seeing that her handsome brother had a lot of influence in the mansion, Chi Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief, tightly gripping Shen Nanxun's clothes, afraid that she would be shaken and fall off.
On Shen Nanxun's exquisitely beautiful, almost sickly face, was a restrained smile.
Why is this chubby girl so happy to see me?
"It's your turn to speak. How come you remember me?"
"I just remember."
Chi Tang started acting like a scoundrel.
Why are there so many whys?
Shen Nanxun's eyes were deep, but he did not delve into the matter.
I was already panting halfway there.
Aside from the somewhat long journey, the biggest reason is probably Chi Tang...
"Fatty, you're too heavy."
Shen Nanxun spoke frankly.
This weight doesn't look like that of a one-year-old baby at all.
"snort!"
Chi Tang gave a haughty hum, but didn't dare to get angry.
What if they don't want to help?
well.
My wife is the best.
My wife never says she's fat.
“But she’s still just as adorable.” Shen Nanxun added the second half of the sentence to himself.
Hongling, who was following behind, marveled at the sight.
She had never seen the young master so approachable before.
It's clear that he and this chubby girl got along very well.
If it weren't for the significant age difference, they could have bought the chubby girl to be their child bride and keep the young master company.
