Gong Qing watched in disappointment as the little packrat burrowed into Gu Qiqi’s arms.

In order to hide his embarrassment, he had no choice but to cough and keep a straight face. “Children shouldn’t be carried all the time!”

Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked down at the little packrat. “Did you hear what Grandpa said? You’re a little man now. You can’t just ask for a hug every now and then.”

The little boy let go in a second, though his eyes were filled with reluctance.

Just as Gong Qing was feeling gratified that his words still carried some weight…

In the next second, reality slapped him hard.

The little packrat said to Gu Qiqi in an admiring voice, “Yes, yes. I’ll listen to Big Sister. I won’t ask for a hug in the future. Whatever Big Sister says is right.”

Gong Qing was speechless.

Had he entered the wrong room and found the wrong grandson?!

So the little packrat wasn’t listening to him at all. He was listening to Gu Qiqi.

Why were Gu Qiqi’s words more effective than his?

What happened to being a stepmother and a vixen? Little boy, have you been beaten silly by the enemy? Is there something wrong with your brain?

Song Song, who was behind him, smiled and tugged at him. “Old man, it’s a good thing that the boy is getting close to Qiqi. They’re a family of three. Why are you joining in the fun?”

Gong Qing pursed his lips at his wife indignantly. “Where did this family of three come from? Did I approve it?”

The little boy puffed up her cheeks. “Grandpa is right. We’re not a family of three.”

Gong Qing smiled in relief. Fortunately, his biological grandson knew to agree with him.

He had yet to acknowledge Gu Qiqi as his stepmother!

But in the next second…

The little packrat nestled comfortably in Gu Qiqi’s arms. “Sister and I are clearly a family of two.”

What the f*ck! His heart… had… been… pricked!

Master Jue, who had been completely ignored, could no longer keep a straight face.

Gong Qing’s expression gradually turned to that of Gong Jue’s, and he seemed to be about to surpass him. This grandson was definitely picked up from the streets!

The more Gong Qing thought about it, the more upset he felt.

It wasn’t easy for his grandson to wake up, but for some reason, his relationship with Gu Qiqi had become so intimate. It was so good. Not only did he obey her every word, but he was like another person.

He actually felt a little jealous and indignant.

Didn’t he say that he was on his team? Didn’t everyone want to work together to chase Gu Qiqi, this female fox, away from Gong Jue?

What the hell had happened overnight?

The sky had changed!

He didn’t believe it!

He was even more unconvinced!

Gong Qing lowered his voice and said in a low voice, “Little boy, have you forgotten how Gu Qiqi lost you in the children’s park? She’s a vicious stepmother. She can’t wait for you to be lost and never return.”

The little packrat blinked its big black grape-like eyes and shrank into Gu Qiqi’s arms. “Big Sister didn’t lose me! She’s not a vicious person. When she realized that I was gone, I saw her from behind the pillar. She ran with all her might, and fell so hard that her legs were crippled, bruised, and bleeding… She was still running hard to find me… She must have been in so much pain back then, but she didn’t give up looking for me… Sob…”

As the little boy spoke, his voice cracked.

His little hand couldn’t help but reach for Gu Qiqi’s ankle. He wanted to know how Gu Qiqi’s ankle was.

Previously, the people in the room had only seen the surveillance video. They knew that the first thing Gu Qiqi did was run around frantically in search of the little packrat.

However, it was still a blurry video.

At this moment, listening to the little packrat describe the scene with his own mouth made it feel very different.

In his childish words, Gu Qiqi’s simple yet persistent protection touched everyone.

No wonder the little packrat would protect her no matter what. Back then, she had risked her life to protect the little packrat!
