President, please comfort me.

Wen Qi returned to Chunfengli and felt something was off as soon as she entered the room. She remembered that she had closed the door when she left in the morning, but the door was open now. She thought she had remembered wrong, so she didn't pay much attention to it. After changing into a nightgown, she planned to continue watching computer learning videos.

She had just stepped out of her bedroom and sat down on the sofa in the living room when she heard rustling sounds coming from beside her, which immediately sent chills down her spine.

With a nervous heart, she turned her head, only to see a creature with a face covered in brightly colored colors crouching behind the sofa. Instantly, the hairs on her body stood on end, and she ran towards the door, screaming, "Ah—!"

Xiao He was still standing outside the door downstairs. He heard Wen Qi's shouts before he saw anyone. He immediately pushed the door open and was about to rush upstairs when he saw Wen Qi running downstairs with a pale face, her hands and feet clumsy.

Just as she was about to make intimate contact with the ground, Xiao He quickly grabbed her, which startled her again. Only after looking up and seeing who was in front of her did she relax.

She buried her face in his chest, her face contorted in pain, her hands clutching his shirt, her whole body trembling: "A ghost, a ghost, waaaaah, waaaah."

Tears streamed down, quickly soaking Xiao He's clothes. He immediately hugged her, patting her back to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. What's wrong? What happened?"

Before Wen Qi could answer, Xiao He saw the culprit, Xiao Can, standing there helplessly with a mask in his hand and his face flushed red.

Xiao He immediately understood, and his face instantly darkened, looking quite terrifying.

Xiao Can knew he had made a huge mistake and stammered, unsure where to begin.

Xiao was about to carry Wen Qi to his room when Wen Qi realized he wanted to take her upstairs and struggled fiercely, saying, "No, no, I don't want to go upstairs."

"Okay, okay, I won't go." Having no other choice, they carried the person to the living room, and Xiao Can naturally followed.

Xiao called Achen and asked him to come over. During the few minutes of waiting, Wenqi calmed down a bit.

Looking at the little boy in front of her, who had deflated like a balloon, she guessed that this must be the Xiao Can that Tang Hui had mentioned yesterday. Sure enough, he was very mischievous.

After Ah Chen came in, Xiao He asked him to stand next to Wen Qi. Then he stood up, and suddenly a "click" sound rang out in the quiet living room, breaking the brief balance.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked towards the source, only to see Xiao He pull out his belt and walk towards Xiao Can. His face was now unreadable, and his voice sent chills down people's spines: "You've become powerful now, daring to pretend to be a ghost and hide to scare people."

Xiao Can was so frightened that she cried, but she didn't move an inch.

Ah Chen dared not speak up for Xiao Can at this moment, otherwise, based on past experience, Xiao Can would not only suffer more beatings, but Ah Chen would also be finished.

Wen Qi saw through Xiao He's intentions, ran over barefoot, and struggled to pull the belt from Xiao He's hand, still grabbing his wrist with one hand: "What are you doing? Just talk it out, don't do this."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Can cried even harder, not to gain sympathy, but because he genuinely realized his mistake and felt ashamed. His beautiful sister-in-law not only didn't blame him, but even spoke up for him.

Xiao He's hand fell empty. He glanced at Wen Qi but didn't say anything. He then turned to Xiao Can and scolded in a low voice, "Don't cry! You have the nerve to cry after doing something wrong!"

Xiao He dared not disobey Xiao Can's orders, so Xiao Can immediately stopped crying. He took a step forward, hugged Wen Qi tightly, and looked at her pitifully with his big eyes: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scared you. I didn't mean to. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

Although Wen Qi still felt a lingering fear when she thought about it, she wouldn't really hold a grudge against a child. She didn't even notice how Xiao Can addressed her and casually replied, "Yes, I forgive you, but you can't do that again. Your sister-in-law is timid and will be very scared."

Wenqi has quite a few fears, one of which is ghosts. When she was in school, her biggest fear during evening self-study was going to the toilet alone.

As Xiao He listened to her coaxing the child, his anger subsided considerably.

Xiao Can was very sensible this time. He sniffed and obediently replied, "Okay, I know."

Xiao He followed Xiao Can's gaze and noticed that Wen Qi wasn't wearing shoes; her fair feet were on the cold ground. He pulled Xiao Can away, scooped Wen Qi up in his arms, and put her back on the sofa. Then he went to the shoe cabinet to get her shoes.

Just as she was about to ask Xiao Can why he had suddenly come to Chunfengli, she received a call from Tang Hui.

It turned out that Tang Hui picked up Xiao Can from the airport at noon. After returning to the Baidu Mansion and having lunch, she told him to take a nap. She also went back to her room to doze off for a while. However, when she woke up, she searched the entire house but could not find Xiao Can.

She remembered that before he went to sleep, he kept asking where Xiao He was and wanted to go find him. She thought that he was tired from flying, so she decided to wait until he woke up before taking him there, and didn't agree.

Now that the person had disappeared, he quickly called Xiao He: "Ahe, is Xiao Can with you?"

Xiao He's tone wasn't very good: "He's here, and he wants to cause trouble as soon as he gets back."

Tang Hui was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with him?"

Before Xiao He could speak, Tang Hui said, "Never mind, your dad and I will come over now, we'll talk when we get there." Then she hung up the phone.

Xiao He glanced at the time; it was almost lunchtime. He immediately asked Achen to order food from Quan Yue Xuan.

At six o'clock, Xiao Yan and Tang Hui arrived at Chunfengli. The food had just arrived as well. Xiao He was worried that Wen Qi was hungry after two hours of fussing, so he told everyone to eat first.

How can you not talk while eating? The Xiao family doesn't have a rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Tang Hui saw that Xiao Can's eyes were red, so she took the opportunity to ask him directly.

After glancing at Xiao He, Xiao Can honestly confessed, "Aunt, I didn't mean to scare my sister-in-law. Actually... actually, I wanted to scare my brother."

"When I arrived, no one was home, so I went upstairs to hide in my brother's room, but I went to the wrong place and accidentally ended up in my sister-in-law's room."

Hearing the alarm blaring, Wen Qi knew she was doomed and secretly glanced at Xiao He.

Tang Hui asked in confusion, "Wait... brother's room, sister-in-law's room?"

"Hmm."

"Honey, aren't your brother and sister-in-law in the same room?"

Xiao Can waved his hand: "No, my sister-in-law's room doesn't have any of my brother's things, and it's very small."

"Ahem." Xiao He received Wen Qi's signal and tried to stop the conversation, but Tang Hui thought it was just blatant self-deception.

At this point, there was no need to ask any further. Heartbroken and disappointed, Tang Hui decided to go upstairs herself after dinner to find out what was going on.

Feeling the scrutinizing gazes from Xiao Yan and Tang Hui, Wen Qi felt uneasy, as if she had betrayed their feelings.

Just as she was about to explain, Xiao He silently took her hand under the table, tightly enveloping her small hand and giving her a reassuring look.

After dinner, Tang Hui said she felt dizzy and wanted to stay overnight at Chunfengli, asking if it would be convenient for Wen Qi.

Wen Qi was naturally very happy to agree and readily agreed.

Although Xiao He understood what Tang Hui was planning, he couldn't refuse since Wen Qi had agreed.

So, after Wen Qi returned to her room, Tang Hui grabbed Xiao Yan and angrily knocked on Xiao He's door.

Tang Hui went inside, took a quick look around, and finally her gaze was drawn to the jewelry boxes on the sofa, one of which looked very familiar.

Aren't these the gifts that everyone gave to Wenqi at the family dinner that day?

Tang Hui was completely confused. How did the thing end up here?
