"Are you okay?"

  Lin Wanfeng strode in with a fiery passion, illuminating the entire store.

  Although I had confirmed over the phone that the two little ones were fine, I was still worried sick. Now, seeing the two of them standing in front of me unscathed, my heart finally settled down completely.

  On one hand, she couldn't help but blame herself for leaving the two alone at home, on the other hand, she was also helpless against the boldness of the two children.

  Lin Wan appeared, and the little girl took the initiative to apologize: "Sorry, Aunt Lin, it's all my fault, I made everyone worry."

  Lin Wan touched her head, speaking in a gentle tone: "Silly child, if you miss Ah Yan's brother, why didn't you tell Auntie Lin? I could have brought you here! It's so dangerous for you to run out alone like this. There are so many bad people outside, and you're so pretty... what if they kidnap you and hide you away?"

  His words were full of concern for her, and there wasn't a single word of blame.

  "I know I was wrong!" The little girl's head hung even lower.

  It wasn't until this moment that she truly realized her mistake. Although she had made plans before leaving and thought she could protect herself, even if she ran out alone, it didn't matter.

  But after all, she is young and weak, Auntie said it right, what if she really encounters a bad person, the safety measures she thought of may not necessarily guarantee her safety.

  What's more, she made everyone worry about her and had Auntie Wan rush all the way here to pick her up.

  "It's fine as long as you know your mistake. Let's go, Aunt Lin has booked a good hotel for us to rest first, and tonight she'll take us out for a big dinner."

  Strictly speaking, she was also wrong. She didn't realize the girl's thoughts at all. Obviously, she found out that the girl had been a bit off lately, but she didn't think that the girl was thinking of running away with her son.

  If I had known earlier what was on her mind, she wouldn't have had to sneak out alone.

  "Auntie, aren't we going home?" Jiang Yu asked, looking up at her.

  Lin Wan smiled and explained, "It's rare for you to have summer vacation, so Aunt Lin decided to take you to B City to play for two more days. Originally, she was going to take you out to play too, but the weather has been too hot recently, and your brother Ah Yan is also participating in a training session. Aunt Lin thought that she would take you out next month, but now it's like an advance on the travel plan."

  "Thank you, Auntie Wan, you're so nice!" Jiang Yu couldn't help but stretch out her hand to hug her, and her little head rubbed against the other's chest.

  Lin Wan's heart softened instantly.

  Yuanyuan has always been obedient and never done anything to worry her. Lin Wan also only thought that this was the first time this little girl had been separated from the stinky boy, so she wasn't used to it.

  "Next time something happens, be sure to tell Auntie Wan, Auntie Wan knows you're clever, but after all, you're still young. A child's power is limited. If you really encounter bad people, you may not be able to protect yourself."

  "I understand, Auntie."

  Lin Wan'an finished comforting the little girl and then had time to look at Xu Jinyan.

  Xu Xiaoshao immediately straightened his back, imitating Jiang Yu's decisive tone and apologized: "Mom, I was wrong! I just wanted to keep an eye on Jiang Xiaoyu, afraid she'd encounter danger alone, so I followed her out to find my brother."

  The sly thief slipped away.

  "Hmph!" Lin Wan looked at him with a cold smile, thinking to himself that he should know better. The little brat was probably just following along to watch the commotion. However, since they were outside, he spared him some face and only glared at him, saying: "We'll settle this when we get back!"

  Xu Xiaoshao: Ahhhhhh!!!
