After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

About an hour later, the three returned to their residential area.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Qin Shuyi stepped forward, took Lan Yujuan's arm, and pleaded in a low voice:

"Auntie, could I stay here for the night instead of going back home?"

"I have to go back to school tomorrow afternoon."

"I'll stay here with you until noon tomorrow, and I promise I won't wander off or cause any trouble."

As Qin Shuyi spoke, she earnestly raised her hand to swear an oath, her tone extremely sincere.

"Auntie, I won't stay for nothing. I'm the best at taking care of children. I can help you look after Xiaoman."

Lan Yujuan didn't know how to answer, so she turned to look at Chen Mo.

At this moment, Chen Mo's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"She's looking for her aunt, not her uncle."

As he reached for the door to room 801, he said in a low voice, his tone slightly annoyed:

"Besides, isn't it your idea to make your own decisions?"

"You dared to take a taxi and go find someone from the bar street across the river, a place that's so chaotic at night, without saying a word."

"And that Lan Qingqing from earlier, look at her clothes, look at her fighting skills!"

"You don't even know her, and you dared to follow her around like that on your first meeting late at night, letting her lead you around looking for someone?"

"Fortunately, she only looks a bit unreliable; she's a nice person!"

"What will you do if you run into a scammer tonight?"

As Lan Yujuan listened, her face grew redder and her ears began to burn.

Qin Shuyi stayed in her shadow the whole time, trying to minimize her presence and quietly watching the commotion from her toes.

"Let's go inside!" Lan Yujuan said, blushing. "Your uncle said he agreed!"

After saying that, he took Qin Shuyi's hand and went into the house.

As soon as the three entered the house, they saw two people sitting on the sofa watching TV.

The TV volume was turned down to the lowest setting, with only a floor lamp in the corner of the sofa left on.

"Dad, Mom? What brings you here?"

Lan Yujuan looked at her parents who were looking over, and while letting Chen Mo squat down to help her take and change her shoes, she looked toward the bedroom door that was slightly ajar.

Lan's father and mother stood up simultaneously, and when they saw Qin Shuyi's figure beside her, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The furrowed brows that were just now are gradually relaxing.

"You're back?"

"It's good to see you back!"

Lan's mother greeted them with a smile, first helping Qin Shuyi, who was standing there dumbfounded and at a loss, to get her shoes. After changing her shoes, she led Qin Shuyi towards the sofa.

Neither of Lan's parents mentioned a word about Qin Shuyi running away from home.

Mother Lan's gaze was kind as she led Qin Shuyi to sit down on the sofa, gently asking with concern:

"Good boy, are you hungry?"

"We are Xiaoman's maternal grandparents. You can also call me maternal grandma."

"There's food in the kitchen. If you're hungry, Grandma will get you some."

Qin Shuyi pursed her lips, subconsciously reached out and touched her stomach, and whispered anxiously:

I'm a little hungry.

"But Grandma, I want to take a shower first, then I'll eat."

Qin Shuyi wandered around outside for half a day, stopping and starting, from dawn to dusk.

Her legs were almost worn out from walking, her hair was sweating and matted, and she looked disheveled and extremely uncomfortable.

As soon as Chen Mo entered the house, he greeted Lan's parents and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

After returning home, Lan Yujuan first washed her hands, then quietly went back to her room to glance at her sleeping daughter.

When I came out of the master bedroom, I happened to have a brand new set of pure cotton pajamas that had been washed and clean.

She waved to Qin Shuyi as she pushed open the door to the second bedroom.

After entering the room and turning on the lights, I first put the pajamas on the bed in the second bedroom, then turned on the air conditioner for her, left the window slightly ajar, and then drew the curtains.

"Shuyi, the bathroom is right next door, and there are toiletries in the bathroom."

"You can choose whatever you like from inside and use it freely."

"Just let me know if you need anything!"

After listening to this, Qin Shuyi looked at Lan Yujuan, who had thoughtfully arranged everything, and her eyes welled up with tears.

The little girl said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie, I was so mean to you at noon today, aren't you angry?"

Lan Yujuan laughed and naturally replied, "Of course I'm angry!"

"I was seriously furious!"

"But thinking about it afterward, I realized that you didn't dislike me; there was just a misunderstanding between us."

"Since we're family, the misunderstanding will be cleared up, it's no big deal."

"Besides, I'm the elder, and you're still a child. I need to act like an elder, right?"

Qin Shuyi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

The little girl's fleeting smile was so pure and beautiful that Lan Yujuan was almost mesmerized.

"Alright, go take a shower now!"

"After you shower, come out and get something to eat. Just call me if you need anything."

Then, Lan Yujuan left the room.

She had just come out of the second bedroom when she saw Chen Mo standing on the balcony with his phone in his hand, looking very serious.

She looked at Chen Mo's profile and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Lan Yujuan silently walked to the balcony and stood beside Chen Mo.

"What's wrong? Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

"Shuyi has been found, isn't that a good thing?"
