Chapter 214: Chapter 214: A Family of Four, A Dream Come True!

Remembering that Grandma had said his little sister wasn’t at the shop, his tiny face immediately fell.

Facing Qin Nanyu who had walked up to him, his big, pitch-black eyes were filled with anxiety.

With a desperation akin to a drowning man clutching at straws, he flung himself into Lin Ci’s embrace.

"Grandma, save me!"

"..." Lin Ci was taken aback for a moment before instinctively wrapping her arms around the little one who had plunged into her embrace.

It was only after coming to her senses that she realized Qin Nanyu had arrived.

Another look at the trembling little tyke in her arms immediately pulled at her heartstrings.

But considering Qin Nanyu’s standing, she didn’t dare to say much.

Seeing her silence, despair began to show on the little tyke’s face as if he had foreseen the upcoming scene of being snatched by the collar and dragged out for a thrashing...

The next second, Qin Nanyu, who has thus far been keeping a cold expression, suddenly softened his features and took the initiative to greet her, "Aunt."

Huh?

The little one, as if he had misheard, whirled his head to look at Qin Nanyu.

Qin Nanyu, ignoring his own son, gently explained to Lin Ci, "Don’t believe his nonsense, Aunt. I have never hit him, nor would I abuse a child."

Qin Morui asking for a beating didn’t count.

That was asking for trouble.

As soon as Qin Nanyu finished speaking, Lin Ci visibly relaxed, "I just felt you weren’t that kind of person, after all, you’re so good to Yaoyao... Ruirui is your son, you’re bound to be even better to him."

"Mhm," Qin Nanyu responded.

Lin Ci took his word for it and handed the little one in her arms over to Qin Nanyu.

Before the little one could even refuse, Qin Nanyu had already reached out to support the back of his head and pressed his head onto his shoulder, leaving no opportunity for him to speak.

"Mmph mmph!" The little one on his shoulder tried to struggle in his last throes but to no avail.

"He says he’s sleepy, I’ll take him back first."

Qin Nanyu, confirming that only Mr. and Mrs. Shen were in the shop, didn’t linger any longer and soon left with the little one.

The butler followed behind father and son, step by step.

With every trash can they passed, he felt heart-thumpingly anxious, worried whether Qin Nanyu would turn around and toss his own son into one of them!

Only when they emerged from the alley did the butler realize they weren’t heading towards leaving.

What appeared in front of them was an old-fashioned apartment building.

Qin Nanyu stopped, letting go of the little one who immediately lifted his head, "Great-grandpa promised I could go out, I’m not running away from home, you can’t hit me or lock me up!"

"Sneaking fried chicken was also approved by your great-grandpa?" Qin Nanyu set him down and spoke coolly.

The little one was instantly at a loss.

Having just been discharged from the hospital, he knew that if his great-grandpa found out he had snuck fried chicken, he would be angry.

He could only try fooling Grandma who didn’t know the full story.

Now, in front of Qin Nanyu, his cover was completely blown...

Like a defeated little lion, he hung his head low, already braced for Qin Nanyu’s imminent scathing storm.

In a faint request, he said, "I haven’t seen my little sister today, I miss her, may I see her before I go back home to be grounded?"

Although his hopes were slight, one still needed to have dreams, just in case they might miraculously come true one day...

"Yes."

"..." The little one was stunned, his mouth agape, gazing at the man in front of him who seemed like a false father but was, in fact, his real dad, too surprised to speak.

Qin Nanyu caught sight of the bright light that sparked in his eyes, like exploding clusters of fireworks, and suddenly remembered what Ji Weitian had told him.

Slowly squatting down to communicate on equal terms with the little one before him.

"If you promise me, from now on, not to treat your own health as a joke, I agree to take you to see your little sister."
