Li Qin headed toward the restroom that was 200 meters away alone. There were too many people in the park over the weekend so she had to wait close to ten minutes for her turn. After she emerged from the toilet, she could hear her precious grandson wailing several meters away.
He cried so loudly that she felt as though her heart was about to break.
She immediately ran as fast as she could toward him.
When she saw him, she saw that her precious grandson’s face was flushed and looked as though he had been crying for more than 10 minutes.
“What’s wrong with you? You can’t even take care of a baby,” Li Qin immediately scolded Wu Xiaomin as she carried Mo Ye in her arms. She had only left Wu Xiaomin with the baby for 20 minutes, so why was her grandson crying so hard. Furthermore, as Ye Ye grew older, it was easier to care for him and he hardly cried these days. She hadn’t seen him cry so hard in the past two or three weeks.
Wu Xiaomin shook her head miserably and her fingers twisted together, looking as though someone had wronged her.
“I just opened the bag and was about to change his diapers when a man appeared out of nowhere and stroked his head. Then, Ye Ye started to cry loudly.”
“Why? Did he injure him?”
Li Qin immediately frowned at Wu Xiaomin’s words and she became very flustered. She immediately started to touch her grandson’s head and carefully examined it. However, she didn’t find any injuries on him.
“He was probably frightened. Where is that man?” Li Qin looked around angrily.
Who was it? Who dared to scare her precious grandson? That person must have been tired of living.
“He had already run away. He looked about 20 and was very muscular,” Wu Xiaomin said. However, she didn’t mention that the man earlier looked quite similar to Ye Ye. She assumed that he was his uncle but on second thought, she seemed to recall meeting Ye Ye’s uncle 6 months ago and he didn’t look like that.
Li Qin was so angry that her face turned purple but she had nowhere to unleash her anger so she continued to scold Wu Xiaomin.
“You’re not any better. Why couldn’t you have been more careful? You knew that there were so many people here in the park but you weren’t even that alert.”
Then, she continued to soothe her precious grandson.
Mo Ye finally stopped crying after a while. He leaned against his grandmother’s shoulders and pouted his pink lips as though he was still unhappy.
The quarter-finals were about to begin and so Li Qin brought her grandson to the competition venue. Just as she expected, children were naturally playful and so Mo Ye immediately cheered up when he arrived at the crowded venue and saw so many babies who looked around his age. He even waved his limbs about excitedly as though he couldn’t wait to start crawling on the lanes.
“Madam, your baby is assigned to lane 3. The race is about to start soon so please wait a moment. Try not to leave this place,” The staff said as he gave Li Qin a number tag with the word ‘3’ on it. “Also, during the competition, you are not allowed to walk alongside the child on the pedestrian walkway. You’d have to wait for the child to crawl toward you at the finishing point.”
Li Qin followed the staff’s instructions and arrived at the finishing point of lane 3. Then, she asked Wu Xiaomin to stand at the starting point.
However, when she arrived at the starting point, her pupils immediately shrank. The young woman in front of her looked vaguely familiar and after she scratched her head, she soon remembered who that woman was.
Oh yes, she had seen that woman at the hospital the other time carrying a baby that looked to be around Mo Ye’s age. The baby was very beautiful and even looked very similar to her son, Mo Yixuan.
“Fancy seeing you here, did you bring your child as well?” Li Qin greeted that woman in a friendly manner.
Qin Xiaoyu was surprised and looked at Li Qin strangely. Then, she turned away and ignored her.
