Little Qingqing nodded happily, then looked at Tan Haoyu and asked, "Dad, can we go play with Sister Ziqing together in the future?"
Tan Haoyu paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, let's go find Sister Ziqing to play together."
Zhu Ziqing gently pinched Xiao Qingqing's cheek and said softly, "Xiao Qingqing, Daddy is very busy with work. How about you come and play with your sister more often in the future?"
Xiao Qingqing nodded, a hint of seriousness in her eyes. Suddenly, she took off a fragrant wood amulet chain from her neck, a treasure she had worn since childhood. She handed the chain to Zhu Ziqing and said in a childish voice, "Sister Ziqing, this is the fragrant wood chain I've worn since I was little. I'm giving it to you."
Zhu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hand: "How can this be? This is your treasure, I can't accept it."
Xiao Qingqing insisted, her eyes showing a hint of stubbornness: "Sister Ziqing, you must accept it! This was given to me by my father, and now I want to give it to you, sister."
Tan Haoyu also spoke up, saying, "Ziqing, just accept it. Xiaoqingqing is very insistent; if you don't accept it, she'll cry."
Looking at Xiao Qingqing's expectant eyes, Zhu Ziqing finally sighed, took the chain, and put it around her neck in front of her: "Thank you, Xiao Qingqing."
When Xiao Qingqing saw Zhu Ziqing put on the chain, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she happily said, "Sister Ziqing is the best!"
In the ward, Tan Xiaoxuan was constantly ignored and felt extremely wronged.
Looking at Tan Haoyu's family enjoying themselves, she couldn't help but complain, "You're all so happy, no one cares about you, and I'm the only one suffering here."
Upon hearing this, Tan Haoyu smiled teasingly: "Oh dear, Auntie, your injury shouldn't be so bad that you can't get up, right?"
Tan Xiaoxuan roared angrily, "What do you mean by 'that little injury'? I broke two ribs, isn't that serious? Tell me, what would be considered serious?"
Tan Haoyu raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Who said you broke two ribs?"
Tan Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, then sat up abruptly in anger. She was about to retort when she suddenly realized that the injury that had just made her unable to move was now completely gone. She moved her body to confirm that she was really fine, and even ran around a couple of times without any discomfort.
Tan Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, picked up Xiao Qingqing and said happily, "Xiao Qingqing, you're amazing! You've 'fixed' your aunt!"
Little Qingqing giggled and stretched out her little hand: "Auntie, hug me and kiss me and I'll get money!"
While muttering "little money-grubber," Tan Xiaoxuan pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "Alright, from now on, all of the Tan family's assets will be yours!"
Seeing this, Tan Haoyu smiled with relief. He suggested, "Alright, have someone pack up, let's go back first."
He looked at Tan Xiaoxuan, his tone tinged with gratitude: "Thanks to you today, if you hadn't come up with this idea, Ziqing wouldn't have come here."
Tan Xiaoxuan smiled smugly: "Of course, I'm your super savior!"
Zheng Xiaokun stood at the door, his phone screen lit up, looking somewhat anxious. He shouted into the house, "Miss, it's the old man calling!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Xiaoxuan immediately put down the little gadget she was fiddling with and quickly walked over.
She snatched the phone from Zheng Xiaokun's hand, turned around and glared at him angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to tell the elders in my family about my injury here? Why didn't you listen!"
Zheng Xiaokun lowered his head and stammered, "I... I was just worried. When the old man asked, I couldn't help myself."
Tan Xiaoxuan ignored him and turned her attention back to her phone, instantly switching to a sweet voice, "Grandpa, it's me!"
After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, Tan Xiaoxuan jumped up and down a couple of times, "Grandpa, look, I'm fine, nothing's wrong with me, so don't worry!"
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Grandpa, how about I have Haoyu say a few words to you so you can feel more at ease?"
As he spoke, he handed the phone to Tan Haoyu, "Brother Haoyu, Grandpa is looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Tan Haoyu glanced at his phone, a dark and sharp light flashing in his eyes, a light as cold as a blade in the dark night, chilling to the bone.
He didn't move an inch, as if he hadn't heard Tan Xiaoxuan's words.
Standing to the side, Zhu Ziqing witnessed the entire scene. Tan Haoyu's gaze at that moment sent a chill down her spine and made her feel uneasy.
Before she could react, Tan Haoyu had already returned to normal, his expression calm as if nothing had just happened.
Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but wonder if she had seen wrong or was having an illusion.
But this fleeting strangeness only made her more curious about Tan Haoyu. How many unknown aspects of this man did he have?
At this moment, Xiao Qingqing blinked her big, watery eyes and innocently blurted out, "Daddy, you should hold me and then hold my sister's hand."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu looked at each other simultaneously, the air instantly froze, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Zhu Ziqing turned her head slightly and saw a family of three walking happily ahead. The father was holding the child, and the mother was smiling gently beside him.
Looking at myself, standing next to Tan Haoyu and Xiao Qingqing, what kind of relationship is this?
She sighed silently in her heart. She knew that Tan Haoyu was deeply in love with his wife, so what was she?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Ziqing said softly, "President Tan, I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent work to do at the company, so I have to go now."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingqing quickly grabbed Zhu Ziqing's hand, "Sister, don't go."
But Tan Haoyu just stood there quietly, without responding.
Zhu Ziqing squatted down and gently patted Xiao Qingqing's head. "Good girl, Xiao Qingqing. I'll play with you again next time." After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Tan Haoyu finally spoke, his voice low: "Be careful on the road."
Zhu Ziqing nodded gently and waved to Xiao Qingqing.
Little Qingqing glared at her father and muttered under her breath, "Dad is so stingy, I'm not loving you today."
Even after Zhu Ziqing had walked away, Xiao Qingqing still stared wide-eyed, filled with shock and grievance, intently watching the direction Zhu Ziqing had gone. Her gaze followed Zhu Ziqing's figure as it grew smaller until it completely disappeared from sight. Her small body stood frozen in place, as if she had been immobilized.
Suddenly, Xiao Qingqing pouted, then burst into a deafening wail. The cry was heart-wrenching, as if it contained endless grievances, and it was so loud that it seemed to collapse the entire hospital.
