Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 354 The Children's Little Secrets

Madam Qin then suddenly remembered the little boy who had saved Xiao Xi, only to find that he had already left. Madam Qin felt a pang of regret.

"The child wore a mask the whole time, and I couldn't even see the outline of his eyebrows and eyes."

If I had known what he looked like, I would have thanked him.

Although they had only met once, Madam Qin felt a strange fondness for the child. Her gaze fell on Xiao Xi, and she secretly estimated in her mind: "That child is about three years old, and looks much thinner and smaller than Xiao Xi."

At the same time, Madam Qin felt even more heartache: "How could such a young child be out alone? Could he have been abandoned by irresponsible parents?"

Madam Qin felt increasingly uneasy and turned to glare at her son, Qin Shi.

"Someone wants to kill you? Could it be...?"

Qin Shi's brow furrowed instantly, his knuckles unconsciously gripping the bedside railing. The cold touch of the metal calmed him slightly, and his tone was heavy.

He paused for a moment, then looked up at Madam Qin and Xiao Xi, his tone firm: "Mom, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter who is behind it, I will not let them get away with it."

This was no longer a simple kidnapping; it had even involved murder.

When he first received the news from the police department, he was filled with disbelief, which is why he immediately suspected Han Yan.

“Xiaoxi, let’s ignore your father! Grandma will take you back to Yunhu Villa.”

Madam Qin grew angrier the more she thought about it. She reached out and gently stroked the stray hairs on Xiao Xi's forehead. Seeing that her granddaughter's complexion had improved and she was alright, she immediately wanted to take the child away from this disgusting place filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Xiao Xi's eyes were still red, and there were still wet tears on her long eyelashes. She gently shook her head, grabbed Han Yan's clothes with her little hands, looked up at Han Yan, and asked in a timid but expectant voice, "Godmother, if I don't feel well in the future, can I still come to see that doctor sister?"

She still remembers the scene after the car accident: the car was hit violently, and she was dizzy from the impact. All she could hear was the screeching sound of brakes. In her dazed state, she heard a very pleasant voice gently telling her, "Don't be afraid, it will be alright soon."

A pair of warm hands lifted her up, and the warmth of their palms dispelled much of her fear.

Later, when she woke up at Dongfang Hospital, she tugged at her godmother's clothes and pressed her for answers. Her godmother only said that "the doctor at the hospital happened to be in a car accident and brought you here."

She wanted to see that doctor again, but her godmother said, "She's too busy. We'll let you meet another time." Thinking of this, Xiaoxi's eyes dimmed even more.

Looking at her goddaughter's wet, expectant eyes, like a little puppy, Han Yan's heart softened. She reached out and ruffled her hair, replying with a smile, "Of course! When you want to meet her, godmother will help you arrange a meeting with your sister."

After the Qin family members left the ward and the footsteps in the corridor gradually faded away, Han Yan turned around and went back to her office.

As soon as I opened the door, the afternoon sun shone through the blinds and cast dappled shadows on the floor. A small figure rushed over, hugged my leg tightly, and called out in a clear voice, "Godmother!"

Han Yan smiled and picked up the little guy, kissing his soft cheeks a few times. Then she weighed him in her hand and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh my, little Yan Chao, you've finally gained a few pounds! It's not for nothing that your godmother has been sending you snacks every day!"

A suitcase sat on the office sofa. Yan Lan stood up from her chair, her eyes showing some fatigue from the journey, but unable to hide her joy at seeing her friend.

Seeing Yan Lan looking travel-worn, Han Yan felt a lump in her throat and almost couldn't hold back her tears. She teased her in a reproachful tone, "You're finally back, you jerk who abandoned your girlfriend and friends!"

She was supposed to pick up Yan Lan and her son from the airport today, but something came up at the hospital, and then this happened...

Han Yan sighed: "I didn't expect that you would run into such a serious incident as Xiao Xi's attack so soon after returning to the country, it's really..."

She was about to tell Yan Lan about the situation in the ward in detail, but Yan Lan gently shook her head and said calmly, "I know everything."

When she brought Xiaoxi to the hospital, she noticed the watch on her daughter's wrist and had an idea. She hid a pinhole listening device in the watch so that she could know her daughter's situation at any time and protect her safety.

Yan Lan used to think that with the Qin family protecting her, her daughter could live a safe and secure life. But just now, after hearing Qin Shi's words of suspicion about her daughter through the eavesdropping device, Yan Lan's eyes instantly turned cold, and her fingertips turned slightly white.

She forcibly suppressed the stabbing pain in her heart, but one question remained weighing on her mind.

"Han Yan, when I was checking Xiao Xi's watch just now, I found a few needles inside. What's going on? It looks like the needles were poisoned?"

In her haste, Yan Lan only had time to install the listening device on it, without investigating whether the needle contained any poison or just a simple anesthetic.

However, neither of these scenarios should seem to apply to a four-year-old child.

(A polished version based on the preceding context)

Han Yan was taken aback at first, then her eyes crinkled as she smiled and explained, "It must have been specially left by Elder Liu for Xiao Xi to use for self-defense. As you know, he dotes on our junior sister to the core, treating her like his own granddaughter."

When Yan Lan left Xingzhou back then, it was too hasty, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye to everyone.

Even so, Liu Guoshou and Sun Nanyue never mistreated Xiaoxi and still cherished the child as their precious treasure.

Although Xiaoxi no longer has her mother's constant love and care, the elders around her treat her like their own daughter. They not only take meticulous care of her in her daily life, but also wish they could pass on all the skills they have learned in their lives to her, hoping that she could have more ability to support herself.

"Nonsense, she's so young, how could she know anything about medicine and pharmacology?"

"That's not how it works. Xiaoxi is your child."

I think she's just like you. She understands things very quickly, but she's a little spoiled. That's because she lacks proper guidance from elders. You know, from Madam Qin to your sister-in-law, the Qin family dotes on her. They'd give her the stars in the sky if they could.

Han Yan said with a smile, teasingly.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at her friend's expression again.

If there's anyone who dislikes Xiaoxi, it's only her father, Qin Shi!

Upon hearing this, Yan Lan couldn't help but shake her head, her tone full of a mother's concerns.

But she didn't notice that Xiao Yanchao, who was squatting on the carpet next to her playing with a remote-controlled car, paused abruptly when he heard the words "doesn't understand medicine," and quietly pricked up his ears.

His round eyes clearly showed his disapproval.

Mom, that's not right. Why can't a child have amazing skills?
