Huo Bei looked at Huo Jinnan, "Yes, sir."

Huo Jinnan sat there, flicked the ash from his cigarette, and quickly stubbed it out when he saw Qin Huan coming downstairs with Xiaoliao, flicking it into the ashtray.

The movement was so fast that Qin Shaojin, sitting next to him, thought he was seeing things.

Huo Jinnan shot a cold glance at Qin Shaojin.

Qin Shaojin turned away, pretending he hadn’t seen anything.

Huo Jinnan looked at Huo Bei, "Go ahead."

Huo Bei said goodbye to Qin Huan and left.

Qin Huan looked at Wen Nuan, "Nuannuan, haven’t received any more texts, have you?"

Wen Nuan shook her head, "No."

Seeing Xiaoliao looking at her, she smiled sweetly and walked over, "Xiaoliao, let your little aunt give you a hug, okay?"

Xiaoliao saw Wen Nuan clapping her hands at him and burrowed his head into Qin Huan’s arms, clutching her clothes tightly.

Qin Huan handed Xiaoliao to Wen Nuan, but Xiaoliao started crying, and she had to take him back.

She looked at Qin Shaojin, "Any new developments on what happened that day?"

Qin Shaojin, "No, there should be soon."

Qin Huan responded with an "Oh," looked down at Xiaoliao, and introduced, "This is Uncle Xiaosan."

"This is Uncle Shen Mubai."

"This is Aunt Wen Nuan."

...

Xiaoliao glanced at each one lightly in the order she introduced, quickly lost interest, and looked up with wide eyes at Qin Huan.

They sat for a while, chatting about lighter topics.

Less than an hour later, Qin Shaonan arrived with Ai Ai.

As soon as she entered, Wen Nuan saw Ai Ai.

Just seeing the photo didn’t evoke such a strong feeling, but the instant she saw him in person, it felt like a thorn in her heart!

Though the child wasn’t at fault, he looked too much like Qin Shaojin!

Qin Shaonan saw Shen Mubai was there, understood why Huo Jinnan had him bring Ai Ai, lowered his head to look at Ai Ai, and spoke coldly, "Go have Dr. Shen check your health."

Ai Ai looked at Qin Shaojin, his eyes fixated on him, many emotions flashing in them, unable to look away.

After a long time, a timid "Dad—" escaped from his lips.

Qin Shaojin heard the word dad, and his handsome face darkened instantly as he sat there.

Wen Nuan, sitting nearby, felt upset too!

Huo Jinnan looked at Ai Ai, "Do you want to be with your dad always?"

Ai Ai looked at Huo Jinnan and nodded.

Huo Jinnan said, "Come here."

Ai Ai didn’t speak, looked again at Qin Shaojin, and felt saddened. Does dad not like him?

He looked for a while, withdrew his gaze, walked to Huo Jinnan’s side, and looked up at him.

This uncle, he was a bit scared!

Huo Jinnan gazed deeply at Ai Ai for a while, then turned to look at Shen Mubai.

Shen Mubai looked at Ai Ai, "Let uncle give you a checkup, okay?"

Ai Ai didn’t speak, staring at Shen Mubai. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Why did he feel these uncles didn’t quite like him?

Shen Mubai said, "Ai Ai, stretch out your arm."

Ai Ai stepped back, "I don’t want to!"

He turned to Qin Shaojin, "Dad."

Qin Shaojin walked over with a dark face, looked at Ai Ai, grabbed his small arm, rolled up his sleeve, and pressed it on the table.

Shen Mubai quickly took a blood sample.

Ai Ai stood there and began to cry loudly.

Qin Shaojin looked down at Ai Ai, "Don’t cry."

Ai Ai nodded, "Dad, I won’t cry."

He stood there with tearful peach blossom eyes, looking at Qin Shaojin with grievance.
