Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: Touched by the Strange Little Boy at First Sight
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going out for a stroll. Now that I’m here, I can’t possibly stay cooped up all the ti. Staying here too long makes it hard for to breathe.”
This courtyard was where the Chu Family used to live, filled with mories, including the painful mory of her losing her daughter. Staying here too long would leave her engulfed in endless regret, unable to catch her breath.
Qin Jun understood what she ant and said to her, “I won’t be joining you, as I have other matters to attend to later, and I can’t get away. I’ll have a bodyguard accompany you.”
“Find a Hidden Guard. I don’t like people blatantly following ; it doesn’t feel like protection, but rather surveillance.”
She had a certain ability to protect herself, and if it weren’t for her poor health these past few years, she wouldn’t have needed anyone to specifically follow her.
“Alright.” Qin Jun busied himself with arranging her transportation.
…
In the largest shopping mall in Capital City, Rong Yan had only gone to the restroom for a mont and ca out to find that Little Baby, who had just been playing in the children’s amusent area, was gone.
“Duidui?”
“Duidui, where are you?”
Little Baby had always been sensible and rarely caused any worry, so Rong Yan was startled when she suddenly realized the little one was missing. She was about to start calling out while looking around nearby to see if he had run off to play by the claw machines.
Then, Qi Yue’s call ca through.
Because Qi Yue seldom called her, never bothering her without a reason, even though Rong Yan’s mind was entirely filled with worry about where Little Baby might have gone off to play, she was still distracted enough to answer the call.
“Hello.”
At the sa ti, not far from the amusent park at an inconspicuous corner of a walkway, a pretty little boy dressed in a blue striped shirt paired with dark-colored gentleman’s shorts and British-style socks, along with black leather boots, bent down to pick up a glass dicine bottle that had fallen at his feet. He seed unfamiliar with the complex na on it, stared at it for a mont after picking it up, and then gave up, looked around for soone who might have dropped it, and after identifying his target, walked over, “Pretty auntie, here’s your thing.”
His voice still carried the tone of a child, his youthful innocence not yet faded.
Although his gestures and deanor exuded a mannish spirit, his voice betrayed his age.
Jiang Chenyue hadn’t expected that an old ailnt might strike suddenly while she was out shopping. She had intended to take a pill from her bag, but her hands were weak, and the bottle slipped from her grasp, rolling away.
She, distressed by her ailnt, hadn’t noticed.
Until a childish voice suddenly broke through, bringing her back to her senses, her gaze slowly focusing on the little figure only as tall as her thigh.
Her heart felt as if it had been struck!
Having just recovered from the lingering ntal debilitation caused by depression, her senses suddenly sharpened. A bright spot appeared before her eyes, as stark and captivating as a rainbow suddenly breaking through on a cloudy day.
Li Duidui fundantally wasn’t one to ddle, and his character was quite detached, but under Rong Yan’s guidance, his values had been cultivated to be healthy and positive. Seeing Jiang Chenyue looking sickly fixated on him, as though feeling unwell, he turned his head to look around, found a bench the mall had set up for tired shoppers, and invited, “You look sick, there’s a bench over there, would you like to sit?”
Jiang Chenyue usually didn’t like children. After losing her daughter, Chu Aotian had considered adopting a child from the clan for her to raise, which she had refused.
Later, when so within the family with ulterior motives thought she missed her daughter and deviously taught their own children to fawn over her, she hadn’t been particularly touched. Yet for so unknown reason, even though she had just encountered a strange child, her heart had suddenly softened a bit.
