Me at two years old, a queen!

"Dad! Let's go that way! Let's go see that tree!"

"I don't want to go there! There's a doctor there who gives injections!"

"Oh dear, Dad, can't you be a little more considerate? Let's go over there!"

Finally, after wandering around aimlessly for a couple of hours, An'an, feeling quite dissatisfied with the man who wouldn't listen to her, seized the opportunity to ask, "Hmph~, how about we go see the four-eyed guy?"

An'an didn't know that "Four-Eyes" was also there that day. She vaguely heard her aunt taking care of him, and she wanted to know what was wrong with him.

Mentioning Qin Shuo, Lu Junxing recalled the search on the mountain yesterday and the man's skills. A deep meaning flashed in his eyes. It seemed he had misjudged the same person twice. How rare!

Since he had saved An'an, he didn't mind helping to clean up the mess. He had checked on him at noon; he was covered in injuries, not suitable for a child to see.

And not wanting the child to dwell on yesterday's events, he ignored the troublemaker.

"Dad, are your ears broken too?"

An'an stared intently at the man's ear, then tugged at it with her hand and asked, "Hello? Hello?"

"Dad, can you hear people talking?"

Lu Junxing pulled her restless hands away, rubbed his almost deafened ears, picked her up and bounced her around, patted her head with his large hand, turned to her left, and said seriously and firmly, "An'an~, don't be afraid!"

"Your ears aren't damaged; you'll be able to hear again in a couple of days!"

Upon hearing this, An'an wrapped her arms around the man's neck and quietly rested her head on his shoulder, seemingly lost in thought, as if her restless heart had suddenly calmed down.

Seeing this, Lu Junxing silently patted her back, then, as if remembering something, paused, turned around, and walked in another direction.

An'an was carried out of the doctor's office. She touched her right ear, sucked on a candy, and happily swung her toes: "Hehe~"

"One little ear, two little ears, one little ear after another~"

Looking at the giggling little girl, Lu Junxing's tense mood of the past two days eased considerably.

Just as he was about to return to his ward, he saw several doctors running towards another ward in the corridor. Lu Junxing's eyes darkened. He asked around and, after confirming that An'an's condition hadn't worsened, he took her there.

"Brother Yu'an, you're awake?"

"Are you alright? Are you still in pain?"

"Let me tell you, I've lost one of my ears!"

"!!"

Zhao Jingtang looked at Lu Junxing in shock. He knew the child's ear might be damaged, but he never imagined it was true. He saw the man looking at him like he was a fool.

"But the doctor said my ear will grow back in a couple of days!"

The man's eyes seemed to gleam as if to say, "You actually believe what she says?"

Zhao Jingtang awkwardly touched her nose and turned to look at the two little ones chatting, although only one person's voice could be heard.

"Brother Yu'an~, I ate today..."

"Brother Yu'an~, you don't know my dad..."

"Brother Yu'an~, why aren't you saying anything? Is your mouth broken?"

Seeing that An'an was about to reach out and pry open Zhao Yu'an's mouth, Zhao Jingtang quickly grabbed her hand.

Although she was a little confused, fearing that her nephew's autism would worsen, she quickly said, "An'an~, have you forgotten? Brother Yu'an doesn't want to talk right now. Let's wait until he wants to talk, okay?"

"An'an~, what are you doing?"

She saw a small ear almost touching her mouth, and quickly and carefully pushed it away. The man beside her swiftly grabbed her, then turned her head away.

"Say it!"

Zhao Jingtang looked at the small ear that was now pressed against his face again, and then softly repeated what he had just said.

"Brother Yu'an clearly wanted to talk to me! I definitely heard him yesterday~"

"A good adult shouldn't lie to a child, and besides, they're not easily fooled!"

"what?"

Zhao Jingtang looked at An'an excitedly: "An'an? You...you really heard your brother Yu'an speak?"

"That's right, hmph~, their ears weren't damaged back then!"

"Haha~, yes...yes, An'an, you're such a little darling~"

Zhao Jingtang quickly looked at Yu'an, who was lying on the hospital bed listening to their conversation, and patted his head happily: "Yu'an, that's great, you really spoke?"

"Speak again and let your uncle hear it!"

Zhao Yu'an opened his mouth, but after several attempts, he still couldn't utter a sound. Zhao Jingtang comforted him, saying it was alright, and then hurried out to find a doctor.

"Daddy~, hee hee~, I'm a little darling~"

"But she's her dad's little darling, hehe~"

An'an wrapped her arms around the man's neck and gave Lu Junxing a big kiss, her face covered in saliva that tasted like sugar water. Lu Junxing, his face dark, simply reached out and scooped the candy out of her mouth.

"Waaah~, my sweetie~, how could you treat your little darling like this~"

In the end, the man got annoyed that she was being too noisy and patted her bottom impatiently: "Behave yourself~, or I'll give you two injections!"

"You naughty dad~, I'm not sick at all, the doctor said I don't need a shot!"

"Daddy~, I have a head now, you can't fool me."

"Give a child a 'do-obey' injection, and one shot will knock out a little brat!"

Upon hearing this, An'an quickly climbed onto Yu'an's bed, covering her bottom. Fortunately, the beds in the VIP ward were all large, and seeing that she wasn't bothering Zhao Yu'an, he let her be.

Zhao Yu'an looked at the little figure happily swinging its tiny feet, and a smile crept onto his face. He thought to himself, "That's great! Everyone's still alive!"

During this time, both children stayed at the hospital and played together. Qin Yanzhou would run to the hospital every day after school to secretly bring food for An'an, and Ms. Song Yuan tried her best to nourish them every day.

Even his attitude towards Qin Shuo had improved considerably. The first two days after Qin Shuo woke up, the old man even went to see him, leaning on his cane. And Ms. Song Yuan would even include a portion of his meals with her deliveries every day.

Zhao Yu'an remained silent, but Zhao Jingtang was already very happy to see her nephew's improved optimism.

"No need~, I can go to school in a couple of days~"

I miss you all so much~

"Okay~, I want to too..."

Lu Jing smiled as she watched her granddaughter lying on the bed talking to her friend on the phone. Suddenly, she thought of the kindergarten teacher and said with a dark face, "Remember to eliminate that teacher completely, so she doesn't cause any more trouble like this!"

Lu Junxing stayed by An'an's side constantly, handling matters remotely. Even Lu Jing rarely helped with company affairs.

He was shocked to discover that the Lu Group could operate smoothly even when Lu Junxing was not around. For the first time, he truly admitted from the bottom of his heart that Lu Junxing's abilities were indeed much stronger than his own!

"Ok!"

He has already planned to completely overhaul the kindergarten and replace all the staff with his own people.
