Xiaojie saw the pupils of the woman with the veil constrict and he narrowed his bright black eyes, imitating the look of an adult. “I only have Daddy, my Mommy doesn’t want me anymore.”

Lan Xiaozhi looked at the little boy with wet eyes and she felt a pain in her chest.

His small face showed a sad expression and his small mouth pouted.

Lan Xiaozhi lifted her hand unconsciously to wipe the tears from the corner of his eye. “You’re so cute, how can your mother bear to give you up?”

Xiaojie’s black eyes turned bright and he held Lan Xiaozhi’s hand, smiling brightly at her. “Really?”

His smile was like a warm sun in the winter, s.h.i.+ning into the hearts of everyone he encountered.

Lan Xiaozhi looked down at the fingers held by the little boy.

His small hand was soft and delicate and her skin was faintly hot from his touch.

Unknowingly, her heartbeat accelerated and her breathing became quicker too.

For some reason, she inexplicably wanted to be close to him, hold him in her arms and protect him.

What was this strange feeling?

Who was this boy?

Instead, she pushed down the thoughts and nodded at him. “Of course, don’t cry little one. You must have misunderstood your mother. She can’t possibly not want a cute darling like you.”

Xiaojie looked at Lan Xiaozhi pitifully and said with some chagrin, “I haven’t seen her for half a year already.”

Lan Xiaozhi looked at the tears in the little boy’s eyes, and her heart clenched. “Your mother will regret it.” Her eyes reddened unconsciously.

When the little boy saw it, he looked at her with doubt. “Auntie, why are your eyes so red?”

Lan Xiaozhi bit her lips and said gently, “Some sand got into them.”

The little boy came a step closer to her and put his two tender and fair hands on her shoulders. “Then I’ll help you blow it out!”

Without waiting for Lan Xiaozhi’s response, he came close to her and his small mouth blew at her bright and moist eyes.

“Puff, puff…”

His delicate face was very serious, as if she was a rare treasure.

The air blowing out of the small lips was gentle and warm, like a feather moving around her heart.

She felt that her heart had been touched by something.

Her eyes turned even redder.

“Is the sand not out yet?” He frowned, looking at her in worry.

Lan Xiaozhi shook her head, looking at the little boy, her fingertips touching his smooth face. “You’re so young but you already know how to care about people? Who knows how many hearts of girls are you going to capture when you grow up?”

Xiaojie smiled shyly. “Then do you want to be my girlfriend?”

Before Lan Xiaozhi could say anything, the little boy held her hand again, smiling brightly at her before he turned and ran away.

Lan Xiaozhi was still frozen on the spot after his figure had disappeared.

“Miss, the wind had gotten stronger, let’s go back to the house!” The captain of the bodyguards came over and reminded Lan Xiaozhi.

…

Back at the house, Lan Xiaozhi went into the bedroom and released her clenched right fist.

There was a slip of paper inside.

Looking at the contents on it, Lan Xiaozhi was shocked.

In the evening.

After dinner, Lan Xiaozhi called Lisa over.

“Lisa, I’ll be going out later. Disguise yourself as me and cover me.”

Lisa was shocked and she knelt on the ground. “No, please, Miss. I’m afraid.”
