Xiao Li smiled and walked over. Out of habit, she sat in front of Qin Xiao and let him dry her hair…

After drying her hair, Xiao Li turned around and buried herself in Qin Xiao’s arms. “Uncle, I’m so happy!”

Qin Xiao smiled and kissed the top of Xiao Li’s head. “Me too.”

The two of them, one standing, one sitting and they hugged each other for a while. It was only when Qin Xiao’s phone vibrated that the two of them separated…

Ever since Xiao Li gave birth, in order not to disturb her rest, Qin Xiao had turned his phone to vibration mode…

Qin Xiao glanced at his phone and said softly, “Let me take this call…”

Xiao Li nodded. “Okay…”

Qin Xiao took his phone to the window to answer the call. It was from Mr. Feng, reporting on Xiao Yan’s situation…

Xiao Li went to the crib to see the child.

Qin Xiao answered the call and turned around to stand behind Xiao Li. He hugged Xiao Li gently and looked at Mianmian, who was sleeping soundly. “Nini, I have something to do and have to go away for two days. You…”

Xiao Li smiled. “Go! You don’t have to say anything…”

Qin Xiao smiled. “Aren’t you going to ask me what I’m going to do?”

Xiao Li shook her head. “I won’t ask, because I plan to go with you…”

After her accident, Qin Xiao would answer some calls every day. Although Xiao Li did not know the nature of these calls, from the way Qin Xiao told her about her injury, she knew that they must be related to her.

This time, since Qin Xiao had to leave, it must be because Xiao Yan had escaped. Otherwise, Qin Xiao wouldn’t have to go personally…

Since he was going because of Xiao Yan, how could she not go?

She was going to meet this woman who had made her suffer in her previous life and in this life.

Qin Xiao asked in surprise, “You’re going?”

Xiao Li said, “Everything Xiao Yan did was against me. The last time she wanted to frame me, you taught her a lesson.

This time, she had already succeeded in hurting me. She had even caused Mianmian to be born prematurely. A premature child would be weaker than a normal child…..

She’d hit me so hard, how could I not fight back?

Uncle, I’m the Nini you protect, but I’m not a clay doll to be pinched…”

Qin Xiao pecked Xiao Li’s lips. “Alright, let’s go together. We won’t bring Mianmian along.”

Xiao Li smiled and said, “Yes, we won’t. We’ll leave her at home for Mom to take care of for two days!”

Qin Xiao smiled and said, “Mom would definitely wish for it. Just now, I wanted to carry Mianmian up, but Mom wasn’t willing. She wanted to hug Mianmian to sleep. I was the one who said that she couldn’t sleep well, so Mom let me carry her upstairs….

Hearing this, Xiao Li looked at Mianmian, who was in the crib. “According to what you said, this crib will be moved to Mom’s room on the first floor. When we come back, will Mom disagree with us moving the crib back?”

Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows. “If she doesn’t agree, let’s buy another crib.”

Xiao Li shook her head helplessly…

Is this about buying another crib?

It’s a question of whether my daughter is coming back to me, okay?

At noon, Qin Tan and his wife took their children around the neighborhood and the family had a good meal together.

Today’s meal was the first time everyone from the Qin family had gathered together after a few months.

During the previous New Year, Mr. and Mrs. Qin were in S City. Xiao Li was pregnant. In order to prevent them from running around, Qin Tan and his family came from B City for the reunion during the New Year.

Actually, the main reason why she did not return to B City was because the Qin family’s headquarters was there. Many of the Qin family’s relatives were in B City. Xiao Li, who had just entered the family, would have to meet relatives if she returned to B City for the new year…

That would be extremely tiring.

Mr. and Mrs. Qin did not want Xiao Li to be exhausted because of some irrelevant people.

The Qin’s branch family who came to attend yesterday’s full-month banquet was only a portion of the people in S City.

Many people came, in addition to those from B City, where the Qin family’s headquarters was located.

In particular, those people in B City were all smart people. Mr. and Mrs. Qin did not like to deal with them. Unless necessary, they did not intend to bring Xiao Li to meet them.

As for the saying that the bride should meet the elders, tsk tsk… Xiao Li only needed to meet the two of them and did not have to take the other elders seriously.

Yesterday, they informed some of their relatives to come here. Firstly, it was because these people in S City were all from the collateral branches. These people were not as capable as those in B City, but they were quite good at socializing.

After all, Xiao Li had married into the Qin family. She should meet some people. Otherwise, they would think that there was something wrong with Xiao Li.

Besides, their granddaughter was one month old. It should be lively…

After the family ate, Mrs. Qin and her two daughters-in-law sat in the living room and chatted. He Jie held the nine-month-old Little Stone and looked at Mianmian, who was sucking her fingers.

Ho Jie smiled and teased Little Stone. “Little Stone, look. This is your sister. She’s cute, right?

As an older brother, you have to take care of your sister in the future.”

Little Stone, who was still drooling, didn’t understand what He Jie was saying. He only knew that the little doll opposite him was eating her fingers. He followed suit and stuffed his fingers into his mouth and ate them…

On the other side of the study room, Mr. Qin, Qin Tan, and Qin Xiao were talking about the company.

Previously, Qin Xiao had told Xiao Li that he didn’t have to care about the company’s matters. Actually, he didn’t tell her everything. He didn’t have to care about the company’s affairs on the surface, but he was in charge of the company’s affairs in the dark.

Since he was in charge secretly, he naturally did not have to go to the company like Qin Tan. Not only did he not have to go, but the further he was from the company, the more others would not think of him. Therefore, he was in charge of the company’s secret matters while doing the work he liked.

After the meeting ended, Mr. Qin asked, “Xiao’er, how long do you and Xiao Li need to stay in S City?”

Qin Xiao said, “I’ll stay until Little Li’s internship ends and she officially graduates before returning to B City.

It’ll have to be next year anyway.”

Mr. Quin nodded. “That’s soon. Then your mother and I will stay here until we go back with you.”

When Qin Tan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. Tsk tsk… If the old man didn’t go back, wouldn’t it be impossible for him to take a vacation occasionally?

Ah… no vacation leave. How do I solve this problem?

Qin Tan turned to look at Qin Xiao bitterly. It was all because his sister-in-law had given birth to a daughter that the old man and the others were unwilling to go back.

Qin Xiao felt Qin Tan’s gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly…

Hmph… if you have the ability, go and have a daughter yourself!

Qin Tan saw Qin Xiao’s smug expression and was so angry that his teeth hurt. His younger brother was indeed the most annoying.

No, he had to work hard to have a daughter when he returned. He couldn’t have another son to cause trouble for Little Stone. He shouldn’t let Little Stone suffer again.
