Chapter 1381: The Two of Us, That's Quite Nice Too

Because he wasn't looking where he was going, Xiaobudian even fell to the ground.

Now, he was crying even harder.

Liu Xin'ai immediately pushed Qin Yiyan away, turned around, and ran over.

As for Qin Yiyan, he looked at his empty arms and sighed silently.

Liu Xin'ai ran to the little boy's side, helped the child up first, and then asked nervously, "Little one, why are you here all by yourself?"

The child was crying so hard he was gasping for air, and his words were intermittent: "I, I can't find, my dad, and my mom!"

"Did they bring you to the park to play?"

"Yes, and, they bought a very pretty, balloon, the balloon, flew away, I went to chase it, and then, I couldn't find my dad and mom!"

The more the child spoke, the sadder he became, and his crying grew even louder.

Liu Xin'ai realized that this child had gotten separated from his parents.

Liu Xin'ai patted his head very gently and said, "Don't cry anymore, we'll help you find your dad and mom, okay?"

The little boy looked up at Liu Xin'ai and said aggrievedly, "But are you guys, bad people? Mom says bad people all look very good."

The child said it very earnestly, but Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but chuckle.

Sigh, he really is just a little kid.

Looking around, Liu Xin'ai pointed to a small pavilion not far away and said, "See that small pavilion over there? The Security Guard is right there. We'll find the uncle in the uniform, and then we'll wait for your mom there, okay?"

A person in a uniform...

The little boy remembered his mom had taught him that if he encountered danger, he should find someone in a uniform.

Thinking this, the little boy nodded timidly.

Liu Xin'ai took the little boy's hand, and they went to find the Security Guard together.

Afterward, with the help of the Security Guard, they found the boy's dad and mom through the surveillance cameras.

At this moment, they were also anxiously searching for their child.

When the little boy saw his dad and mom on the surveillance video, his emotions became agitated, and he wanted to rush out to find them.

Fortunately, Qin Yiyan was quick-handed and sharp-eyed; he reached out and scooped the little boy up.

With his body suspended in the air, the little boy kicked his legs wildly, shouting as he struggled: "Let me go, I want to find my dad and mom!"

"You can't even tell north from south, how are you going to find them? If you don't want to get a spanking, behave yourself!"

Qin Yiyan's tone was very fierce.

But it was very effective.

The little boy stopped kicking, just bit his lip, and was about to cry again.

Seeing this, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly took the child into her arms and said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you being so fierce?"

"If I'm not fierce, he won't listen."

"But you have to be patient with children."

As Liu Xin'ai said this, she set the little boy down on the ground.

Then she leaned down and said to him, "The uncle over there has already called your dad and mom, and they will be here very soon. Now, let's wipe the tear stains off your face; when your mom sees you, she will definitely praise you for being a brave child."

After hearing this, the little boy nodded vigorously and used his chubby little hands to wipe his cheeks.

But with that wipe, he even wiped some snot out.

Liu Xin'ai smiled and used a tissue to gently wipe it away for him.

The little boy tilted his head and stared blankly at Liu Xin'ai.

Then he asked a question: "Auntie, you are so gentle, do you never get fierce with your own children?"

It was this very question that made Qin Yiyan's heart ache fiercely!

He even looked at Liu Xin'ai nervously.

Worried that she might remember something.

But Liu Xin'ai was as usual, only saying a bit shyly, "Auntie... doesn't have any children yet."

"Then you will definitely be a gentle mom, unlike my mom, who is always fierce with me."

Liu Xin'ai patted the boy's head and asked, "But she loves you, and you love her, right?"

Regarding this question, the little boy nodded vigorously without even thinking.

He even said, "Even though my mom is fierce, she is the best woman in this world, and I will protect her with all my might!"

The child's face was full of childishness.

The words he spoke were also somewhat naive.

Yet it was this display that suddenly made Liu Xin'ai feel envious.

She didn't even know why she was envious.

It was clear that she herself could also be a mother.

To be a mother...

These three simple words, for some reason, made her heart ache intensely.

This strange feeling made Liu Xin'ai feel odd.

But before she could delve into it, a young couple ran over in a hurry.

And the moment they saw the little boy, they immediately rushed over, crying.

Then they pulled the child tightly into their arms!

The boy's mother's body was trembling, yet she was blaming him: "Why were you running around, child? If we couldn't find you, what would we have done!!"

The little child was already crying so hard he couldn't speak; the only way he could express his emotions was to wail loudly.

The child's father was a bit calmer.

He looked at Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan and said sincerely, "Thank you both so much. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't even know where this brat could have run off to!"

Qin Yiyan responded with a calm expression, "No need to thank us, it was just a small favor."

"But your small favor has saved our family. Sigh, I really don't know how to thank you enough."

"Haven't you already thanked us? There is no need to thank us again."

Qin Yiyan's response was very blunt.

The blunt atmosphere became a bit awkward.

This left Liu Xin'ai speechless, and she genuinely felt that Qin Yiyan did not quite understand social nuances.

But... when he is with her, he is actually quite good at all sorts of sweet talk.

Liu Xin'ai did not quite understand.

She even glanced at the man beside her.

She saw Qin Yiyan with his lips pressed tightly together, looking as if he did not intend to speak.

Hmm... actually, it is better for him to speak less, otherwise the situation would be even more awkward.

But since the child's parents were still expressing their gratitude, Liu Xin'ai had no choice but to speak up and exchange pleasantries: "The child was a bit frightened, but after experiencing this, I believe he can grow into a little man, right?"

The little boy nodded very vigorously, his childishness tinged with a hint of determination.

Seeing how cute he was, Liu Xin'ai raised her hand and touched his cheek.

The young couple thanked them once more before leaving with their child.

As they were leaving, the little boy kept looking back at Liu Xin'ai with reluctance.

Then he asked, "Mommy, I really wish you could be as pretty as her."

The response the little boy received was a flick to the forehead.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xin'ai shook her head with a smile and murmured, "Children are the joy of the family."

This was just an unintentional remark from Liu Xin'ai.

But...

Qin Yiyan suddenly wrapped his arms around her.

And his arms gradually tightened.

This sudden action also made Liu Xin'ai feel baffled.

She turned her head slightly and called out, "Qin Yiyan?"

"It is also very good for us to just be the two of us together."

Qin Yiyan's tone was very heavy, and if one listened carefully, it even carried a hint of trembling.

Liu Xin'ai, however, did not understand the meaning behind his deep tone.

She could only correct him, "What do you mean just the two of us? Don't we have many friends, and family too?"

Li Beijue's expression darkened in an instant; he pushed Jiang Baobao away and strode toward the door.
