"Where’s Xiao Bao?" she asked.
"Oh, Xiao Bao said she’s going to stay with Yang Qiao for a few days and asked you not to look for her."
Xiao Qing: "Isn’t Yang Qiao sister taking any roles these days?"
"Probably not, she didn’t refuse Xiao Bao’s request."
Big Bao, standing nearby, hung his head even lower after hearing Xiao Anze’s words, preferring not to have heard anything to avoid the guilt.
Xiao Anze caught Xiao Qing nodding in the rearview mirror, quietly breathing a sigh of relief. Even if she asked Yang Qiao, he wasn’t worried because he had already rehearsed their lines with Yang Qiao before coming here.
Of course, when Yang Qiao curiously asked about Xiao Bao’s whereabouts, he said, "I’ll tell you as long as you accept my marriage proposal."
The call was disconnected in an instant.
Xiao Anze was inwardly distressed.
In the past, he hid Yang Qiao away and fashioned himself as a playboy, never considering marriage.
Well, now that he wants to get married, Yang Qiao says she’s gotten used to this lifestyle.
"By the way, have you ever thought about giving Big Bao and Xiao Bao proper names? They need to start school next month, and it’s not good to go without names."
Xiao Qing is not in a hurry, "There’s no mandatory requirement here in City B that children must have a beautiful and nice-sounding name, right?"
"Then there’s no rush, we’ll just register them before school starts."
Big Bao was not happy, "Mommy, I don’t want to be called Big Bao anymore."
Xiao Qing was slightly surprised, "Why?"
"Because other kids all have names, and Xiao Bao and I are just called Xiao Bao." Saying so, he sadly cast his eyes downward. This update is available on ɴovelfire.net
Xiao Qing was speechless, looking toward Xiao Anze who could only respond with a helpless smile.
Feeling helpless, she could only embrace Big Bao and promised him, "Mommy wants to find your dad and let him name you. If we can’t find Dad before you start school, then Mommy will name you, okay?"
Big Bao reluctantly nodded, and the matter was settled for now.
Meanwhile, Xiao Bao had already reached the suburbs and stopped at a lavish villa.
Ye Han carried Xiao Bao out of the car, she had thought that a typical child would be amazed at such a castle-like mansion, yet she wasn’t. She was secretly surprised, reckoning this child must come from a wealthy family.
"Grandma, is Dad here?" Xiao Bao leaned on Ye Han’s shoulder, her round eyes sparkling.
Ye Han was startled, unsure how to respond.
At this moment, Lu Zhiyuan, because she hadn’t immediately gone inside after returning, came out.
Seeing Ye Han holding a strange child, his brows furrowed tightly, and he reached out to take the child but Ye Han dodged him.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
"I was worried you might be tired, so I thought I’d help hold her for a bit."
Ye Han gave him a sidelong glance, carrying an "I don’t believe you" expression, and walked into the house with Xiao Bao.
"Grandma, who is he?"
"He’s your grandfather."
Lu Zhiyuan was confused upon hearing this, and seeing that Ye Han ignored him, he turned his gaze to Liang Li. Liang Li, with a pained expression, said, "Sir, the lady picked up this child on the way."
Liang Li nodded, roughly explaining the situation, then added, "I saw that the lady seemed quite affectionate with this child all the way here, always smiling. Maybe this child can cure her heartache."
Lu Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, then stepped inside.
As he entered the house, he heard Ye Han’s voice, and he stumbled, nearly falling over.
Because Ye Han said, "Little darling, just wait, Grandma will call Daddy over right now."
