Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

Jin Si suddenly froze.

While looking at the photo, he was not looking at Xi Huanran who was snuggling in Qi Wu’s arms and smiling like a little fool. Instead, he was staring at Qi Wu in the photo.

She seemed to have grown up a lot and liked to smile more.

Jin Si mused.

Xi Huanran was a little tired after holding the phone up for a few seconds straight. Just as she was about to pull back. Jin Si took the phone away from her.

She let out a cry and planted her hands on her hips. “Give it back!” Jin Si ignored her and asked, “Where did you take this?”

“At the park,” Xi Huanran muttered. “She’s so pretty and nice. She even exchanged lemon drops with me!”

Jin Si did not know what to say.

He was the one who bought the candies, after all.

The corners of his mouth twitched as he calmly looked at Xi Huanran. “You didn’t do anything, did you?”

It could be said that Jin Si knew his impatient niece very well. He would never believe that she was capable of behaving herself.

As expected, there was a strange glint in her eyes. She placed her hands behind her back and bashfully said, “We’ve added each other on messaging apps. We’re already good friends now!”

An inexplicable anger welled up in Jin Si’s heart. He sneered. “Friends? With a little brat like you?”

“Hmph!”

In order to express her anger, Xi Huanran snorted. “I’m not going to play with you anymore! I have new friends!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she moved to snatch the phone from Jin Si’s hand. However, the height difference was so great that Xi Huanran was left jumping in vain.

When she was tired of jumping and bent over to catch her breath, Jin Si slowly said, “Don’t disturb her.”

Hearing that, the little girl immediately moved closer. “Uncle, do you really know her?”

“I don’t.”

Jin Si’s answer was blunt and tactless.

He used one hand to keep Xi Huanran away while returning the phone with his other hand.

Xi Huanran was even more confused when she received the phone. After a while, she came to a realization and happily shouted, “I know!”

Then, she announced in all seriousness, “She’s a celebrity you like! Fans like to protect their idols from the dark, right?”

Jin Si’s face darkened as he looked at her in confusion.

Protect Qi Wu from the dark?

Him?

Jin Si sneered. “I think you hit your head a few too many times when you were growing up.”

Xi Huanran was used to being insulted by her uncle.

If Jin Si were to treat her gently one day, Xi Huanran would feel afraid instead.

She twisted her fingers together and dazedly asked, “Why do you keep watching her on TV then?”

Jin Si was stunned by the question.

He looked away coldly. “No reason.”

How would he know why?

Jin Si opened the door and was about to leave when Xi Huanran hurriedly called out to him, “Uncle, where are you going?”

“On a walk to aid with digestion,” said Jin Si without turning his head.

Xi Huanran stopped in her tracks. Her beautiful and tender face was filled with doubt and confusion. Jin Si had never done that before.

As Qi Wu’s charity sale had ended, she blanked out at her stall after she watched Xi Huanran leave.

After some time, she turned around and saw Qiu Yan standing behind her.

Qiu Yan seemed to have been standing there for quite a while. It was not until she turned around that Qiu Yan came forward.

“Are you done too?”

There was an unconcealable pride on her face. It was obvious that her charity sale had gone very smoothly.

Qi Wu calmly hummed in acknowledgement.

Qiu Yan took another step forward and continued, “Why don’t we team up next? They’re not here anyway.”

Qi Wu frowned when she saw Qiu Yan walking closer.

Then, she looked behind Qiu Yan and softly said, “Qiu Yan, turn around.”

Qiu Yan turned around in confusion. What she saw next petrified her.

What did she see?

It was her boyfriend. He was currently in a car a few meters away from her and acting very gentle and doting around another woman.

When she saw the man lower his head to kiss that woman, Qiu Yan couldn’t control her anger anymore.

She recognized that woman. It was her boyfriend’s superior.

She was so angry that her entire body trembled, and her voice was so shrill that it almost cracked as she shouted, “What are you doing?”

Qiu Yan felt as if she had fallen into a sea of icy water, but what felt even colder was her heart.

She had suffered so much for him. In order to let him climb higher in his job, she was willing to endure Tong Fei’s humiliation and torture. In the end, he just…

Qiu Yan couldn’t take it anymore and rushed over like a mad woman. When her boyfriend heard her voice, he turned around and saw her charging over. He started the car in a panic.

However, Qiu Yan was still waiting for an answer. She still had hope for that man, so she rushed to the front of the car.

“Move aside!”

The man in the car cursed. When he saw that Qiu Yan was not moving at all, he made up his mind and drove at her as though he was going to ram into her.

The people around the area and the stream viewers felt their hearts sink when they saw that.

‘What’s going on? Why is Qiu Yan acting so crazy?’

‘He can’t be thinking of crashing into her, right? Shoot!’

‘Qiu Yan is a fool. Get out of the way! Scumbags are not worth it!’

Qiu Yan looked at the man’s hideous face through the glass and her heart turned cold.

She even…thought it would be nice if she could be set free just like that.

However, in the next moment, Qi Wu appeared out of nowhere to stand beside the car. She frowned and reached in to turn the steering wheel.

The car swiftly turned toward a street lamp nearby.

The man’s eyes widened in shock. As the screams of the woman in the passenger seat echoed through the air, he subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

Bang!

The front of the car still hit the street lamp, resulting in a dent in the metal.

The two people in the car were in shock. When the man came back to his senses, he wanted to turn around and scold the person who touched his steering wheel.

However, when he turned around, he was so shocked that he couldn’t say

anything.

Not only was it because of Qi Wu’s beauty, but also because of the frosty look on her face that made her seem like a stern but rational and calm judge.

Qiu Yan was prepared to die. She didn’t expect the courage she had mustered up to crumble when she saw Qi Wu save her.

Her legs went weak. Fear instantly swept through her entire body. She limply fell to the ground.

At that moment, the viewers were busy chatting away in the stream about Qi Wu’s swift reaction.

‘Darn! What did I just see? She’s so strong!’

‘She actually held onto the car door with one hand to force the car to slow down while her other hand turned the steering wheel!’
