In an instant, all those who had been waiting in the shadows came out. Clearly, they were going to use force to drive Xiao Hengyu away if he didn't leave.

Xiao Hengyu narrowed his eyes, looked around, and his gaze gradually turned cold.

He gritted his teeth, his tone nonchalant and carefree: "Bo Jingzhou, you really don't need to be so paranoid. Anyway, she's not my biological daughter. Do you think I'd stay here? I didn't come back with you voluntarily. Fine, I'll leave."

He changed the subject, looking at Bo Jingzhou with a hint of provocation: "But if Little Candy wakes up in the middle of the night and can't find me, and starts crying, don't come begging me then."

Bo Jingzhou said indifferently, "Don't worry, my daughter will never come looking for you."

Xiao Hengyu sneered, seemingly too lazy to engage in any more pointless verbal sparring with him, and simply turned around, making a move to leave.

But as he turned away, a hint of disappointment still crept into his eyes.

He paused for a moment, as if waiting for something.

At this time in the past, if Little Candy caught a glimpse of him about to leave, she would run over and call out in her sweet little voice, "Daddy, don't go."

But now, he waited for several seconds, and still didn't get the little candy.

what is it today?

Xiao Hengyu's heart sank, a trace of doubt and inexplicable melancholy flashing through his mind.

He had no idea that Little Candy had been lured to the children's playground by the four little ones.

The four little ones had long ago formed a strategic alliance with their dad.

Their task was to take Little Candy away, creating an opportunity for Daddy to deal with Xiao Zei.

So, the four little guys took advantage of the chaos and kidnapped Little Candy.

The four little ones chattered away, describing in exaggerated tones the super fun children's playground that their daddy had specially prepared for them.

Little Candy, being so young, was quickly drawn to the fascinating world her brothers were talking about and obediently let them lead her away.

This children's playground was built at Bo Jingzhou's behest by Lin An as a gift for his youngest daughter.

The facilities are safe and fun, perfect for a child her age.

Today is also the first time that Little Candy and Little Ayan have met.

The two little ones were about the same age and were born on the same day, so they quickly became friends.

Although the two little ones have very different personalities—Little Candy is lively and talkative, while Little Ayan is quiet and introverted—when they sit side by side on the slide, Little Candy is the one who keeps babbling away most of the time, while Little Ayan only nods occasionally, glances at Little Candy, and then looks away again, his little ears turning bright red, shy and bashful.

Besides Little Ayan, Little Candy also met the majestic Grand Duke.

Little Candy wasn't afraid of the big dog at all. Instead, she would reach out her little hand to stroke its thick fur from time to time, muttering to herself as if she were whispering something to it.

The Grand Duke clearly adored his new little master, lying obediently beside her, his fluffy tail wagging happily, becoming Little Candy's most loyal little follower.

The four little ones stood aside, watching their little sister adapt to the new environment and make new friends so quickly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

With Xiao Ayan and the Grand Duke around, my sister will definitely forget about Xiao Ze.

Just then, Little Candy pointed to the low carousel next to her and said something to the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke immediately crouched down obediently, using his furry back to form a natural step.

Little Candy stretched out her little feet, stepped on the Duke's back, and with a push, easily climbed onto the carousel.

This is not over yet!

After Xiaotangguo settled down, she turned her head to look at Xiao Ayan, who was staring longingly at the rocking horse because she was too short.

She spoke a few more words to the Grand Duke, and even pointed her little finger at Xiao Ayan.

The Grand Duke immediately understood his young master's meaning. He stood up, shook his fur, and then trotted over to Xiao Ayan's side, obediently lowering himself down again to serve as a solid dog meat staircase.

After Xiao Ayan went up...

Little Candy clapped her hands and sweetly praised the Grand Duke, who had completed his task, saying, "Great job!"

The Grand Duke's large tail instantly perked up high, he was incredibly proud.

It protected Little Candy the whole time, and the once unruly and majestic Grand Duke became her little shadow.

The scene before them piqued the curiosity of the four little ones.

Especially Erbao: "Look, Little Candy seems to be able to talk to the Grand Duke, that's so strange."

Da Bao crossed his arms and said, "What's so strange about that? It just means my sister is smart and approachable. As for the Grand Duke, he's just a dog that understands human nature; he was just a bit domineering before."

Erbao scratched his head, somewhat unconvinced: "But the Grand Duke never talks to me. Every time I talk to him, he just looks at me or barks at me twice."

Sanbao added quietly from the side, "Perhaps... it's something the Grand Duke was saying that you couldn't understand?"

Sibao nodded with a smile: "That's right, it's because you don't understand what the Grand Duke is saying."

Erbao pouted, "No, that's not true."

He just felt that his sister was special; not only was she liked by the Grand Duke, but she could also talk to him.

Logically speaking, he had known the Grand Duke for much longer, and at most he would pat his head or rub his legs. Although the Grand Duke had tempered his temper after leaving his original master's old den, he had never acted like this... a sycophant.

Erbao thought about it and concluded that his younger sister was more capable.

After having a great time at the children's playground, the four little ones took Xiao Ayan and Xiao Tangguo back to the main house, with the Grand Duke wagging his big tail and following behind.

Just then, an unexpected visitor arrived at the manor.

Everyone was somewhat surprised when the butler announced Mrs. Qiao's arrival.

When Wen Xiaoman walked over and saw Madam Qiao standing dignifiedly at the door, she was stunned and froze on the spot.

"Mrs. Qiao? How did you end up here?"

Mrs. Qiao naturally followed them all the way. Originally, she was going to intercept them at the airport, but she was too late and ended up coming directly to the capital.

She stepped forward, looking at Wen Xiaoman with gentle eyes. Her face wore a warm smile that was completely different from the one she had shown at the Qiao family's old house last time. Her tone was sincere: "Miss Wen, I apologize for bothering you. I've come here today because I have some things I'd like to discuss with you privately. Would it be convenient for you to come out with me for a bit? Shall we find a nearby coffee shop to sit in?"

Although she had nothing to do with Qiao Sinian anymore, Wen Xiaoman couldn't bring herself to refuse when she looked into Madam Qiao's eyes, which were somewhat similar to Qiao Sinian's and full of kindness.

He finally nodded: "...Okay."

Seeing that Wen Xiaoman agreed, Madam Qiao smiled lightly.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Ayan, who had just returned from outside and was standing among several children.

Mrs. Qiao paused slightly in her steps.

"That child is..."
