After the meal, Qin Hanmo looked at Qin Jiaojiao and said, “Jiaojiao, didn’t you mention that you were bored recently? I have time in the afternoon, so let’s go out for a walk.”
Although his younger sister was pitiful, she still had friends to go out shopping or travelling with before the apocalypse. Now, however, she could only stay at home.
Qin Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up, knowing that going out meant she could buy things. She had been lacking in clothes recently, so she looked at Qin Hanmo with teary eyes and replied meekly, “Second brother, you’re so good.”
She was initially prepared to burn the paper but decided to go shopping, since no one would go into her room and go through her things.
Qin Jiaojiao followed Qin Hanmo, happily unaware that her carelessness would result in a chaotic change of fate for her.
It was 2 in the afternoon and Qin Hanyu had just returned after dealing with Gao Qing, his gentle, jade brows cold. Someone wanted to harm the Qin Family and gained information from Gao Qing because his younger brother had abandoned her.
However, Qin Hanyu knew that it was impossible due to his younger brother’s temper. His younger brother was not knowledgeable, much less playful with women. He did not even know whether or not he liked a girl. Thinking about it, Qin Hanyu understood that someone was using Gao Qing to go against the Qin Family, but he did not gain any further leads and did not know who it was.
Qin Hanyu rubbed his temples, taking out an exquisite box from his bag. It was a gift for Jiaojiao. Come to think about it, he had not accompanied her for a long time.
Qin Hanyu walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. When no one replied, he knew that she was probably out. He sympathized with her, knowing she did not have any abilities and was not allowed to go out alone, fearing that something might happen to her. He reckoned that it was Qin Hanmo that had brought the girl out.
Qin Hanyu chuckled as warmth appeared in his phoenix eyes. It was a real laugh for his family.
He opened the door, preparing to hide the item to surprise her. Upon thinking about it, he flipped her blanket and went to hide it in there when a piece of paper attracted his attention.
Qin Hanyu picked it up gracefully, and after reading the content, dropped the box containing a delicate diamond necklace.
He held onto the paper with trembling hands, a cold intent appearing in his warm and unfathomable phoenix eyes.
Qin Jiaojiao followed Qin Hanmo out for an hour, finally buying something she liked. Qin Hanmo had yet to sleep after returning from his mission, immediately accompanying her out. After being unable to endure any more shopping, he caressed her head and returned home to sleep.
Qin Jiaojiao carried her clothes back to her room and immediately saw the diamond necklace on her table. Her eyes gleamed, guessing that Qin Hanyu had returned with a gift.
She tried on her clothes happily, unaware of the shocked people gathered in the study.
Even the usually calm Qin Mian was trembling all over. “Hanyu… Hanyu, where did you get this from?”
Qin Hanyu’s eyes deepened as he answered, “Jiaojiao’s bed.”
Sun Zhilan, who had been summoned back from work, was crying, disbelief apparent in her eyes. “No, no, this is not real. This is not real.”
She shook her head, unable to believe the news.
“Jiaojiao is my daughter! How could I not recognize my own daughter?”
Sun Zhilan did not believe, or rather, did not dare to believe the news.
