Chapter 79: Why Didn't You Say So Earlier?!

The big one and the little one began to eat; since Yu'an had already had a meal before coming, he only ate one small steamed bun and one little wonton before he couldn't eat any more.

The little fellow rested both elbows on the table, cupped his cheeks in both hands, and his two short little legs under the table swung back and forth, quietly keeping her company just like that.

After the meal, An Luo first took out the clothes she had prepared long ago, intending to help Yu'an change into them.

"No, no, you can't!"

Yu'an hugged himself with both hands and shrank back a little.

His little face flushed bright red, his head shyly lowered.

"Great-Great-Grandmother said that men and women should not have intimate contact; Yu'an can change by himself."

An Luo was helpless.

"Alright then, Yu'an go change in the room by yourself. If there's any problem, remember to call for Elder Sister."

"Mm-hmm, Yu'an knows."

The little fellow hugged the clothes and darted into the room as if fleeing.

An Luo shook her head, finding it rather amusing.

Such a tiny person, yet he knows quite a lot.

Although there was a little interlude in the middle when he put his clothes on backwards, twenty minutes later An Luo still took Zaituan out the door.

The little fellow marched forward on his short little legs, pattering away.

"Fairy… Elder Sister!"

Fairy Sister said that outside, he had to call her Elder Sister.

Yu'an lifted his legs and stomped heavily a few steps, his little mouth stretched wide, revealing two rows of tiny white teeth, having the time of his life at play.

"Haha! Elder Sister, look! Yu'an's shoes can glow!"

An Luo just watched with a smile as he bounced and hopped ahead.

This heartwarming scene made passersby smile knowingly.

But in a car not far away, a man who saw this scene was so startled that his sunglasses fell down to his chin.

"Where did this kid pop out from?"

"Oh no, oh no!"

An Luo beckoned to the excitedly thrilled little fellow.

"Yu'an."

"What does Elder Sister need Yu'an for?"

Yu'an pattered back, tilting his head up to look at her.

An Luo used a tissue to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead and earnestly instructed him.

"When we're outside, you must hold tightly onto Elder Sister. Don't talk to strangers, don't take things from strangers, and don't go off with strangers. Remember that?"

Hearing this, Yu'an's big eyes went wide and round. He glanced around, then asked her in a small voice.

"Fairy Sister, is there a bad guy?"

The little fellow's eyebrows were practically standing on end as he warily surveyed the surroundings, his little manner fierce and adorable at once.

"Elder Sister, don't be afraid. Yu'an will protect you. Yu'an is very powerful now—he can beat away the big bad guys!"

As he spoke, he even struck a pose, throwing punches and kicks, going "Hey-hey-ha-ha!" through a whole boxing routine.

Watching the little dumpling, looking fierce and like a tiny warrior, stand protectively before her, An Luo felt a warm glow in her heart.

She solemnly cupped her fists toward the little fellow, her tone doting.

"Very well, then I'll trouble the great hero Yu'an to protect this little lady."

"Mm!"

The little fellow nodded heavily, waving his tiny clenched fist.

"Leave it to Yu'an!"

Everything rests on him!

On the way to the parking lot, Yu'an's little gaze warily swept over each passing pedestrian one by one.

With him around, no bad guy would dare hurt Fairy Sister!

However, the little hero's attention was quickly drawn to a little boy not far away.

More precisely, to the little car the boy was sitting in.

What was that?

It looked like the iron box Yu'an had ridden in before.

Oh right, it's called a car!

It's smaller than Fairy Sister's car, but it still looks so cool and fun!

Seeing the little fellow staring fixedly at a certain spot, An Luo turned her head to look as well.

It turned out to be a children's electric ride-on car.

"Does Yu'an like it? Elder Sister will take you to buy one later too."

Yu'an's big eyes lit up, and he clapped his little hands and bounced up and down several times.

"Really?!"

"That's wonderful!"

Because he was going to buy a little car, Yu'an was excited the whole way. Sitting in his child seat, he looked out the car window, his little mouth chattering nonstop, finding everything he saw novel and fascinating.

Glancing at the overjoyed little fellow, the smile never left An Luo's lips.

After the last upgrade, Zaituan could already stay in the Modern Era for eight hours, so she decided to get him a full physical examination as soon as possible, along with some necessary vaccines.

Today definitely wouldn't be enough time. Anyway, Zaituan could come to the Modern Era every day, so they'd take it slow.

……

The big one and the little one arrived at the hospital, while on the other side, Assistant Chen hurried into the president's office.

The moment the door was pushed open, a voice could be heard.

"One sulfur, two saltpeter, three charcoal, add a bit of white sugar…"

The next moment, the person watching the video sensed someone coming in, paused the screen, and the commentary cut off abruptly.

"Why didn't you knock?"

That stern voice brought Assistant Chen back to his senses, and he walked over to the desk.

"Boss, Miss An went to the hospital."

"Mm."

The man closed the notebook at hand, his tone without a ripple, looking as though he couldn't care less.

His breezy, indifferent manner left Assistant Chen completely at a loss.

Huh???

You're the one who stares at her photo all day, pining over her, and now that you hear she went to the hospital, you're still the one who's not the least bit worried or concerned.

My dear boss, what on earth are your intentions toward that young lady?

"Do you have anything else to say?"

The man first cast him a casual glance, then picked up the fountain pen beside him again.

Assistant Chen's face was full of inner turmoil.

The boss's attitude was too strange, so should he continue or not?

"Stop hemming and hawing, if you have something to say, say it!"

Assistant Chen quietly began to recount what had just happened.

"A child appeared beside Miss An."

Hearing this, the hand of the man who was writing trembled sharply, and the pen tip instantly tore through the paper.

The man shot to his feet.

"How could you not tell me something this important sooner?!"
