Jiang Si's breath hitched, and his pupils subconsciously dilated to the extreme. It was as if his whole body was frozen in place by that unintentional kiss, unable to move at all.

Qing Wan sneered in his heart, but his face looked as if he was frightened by this accident.

Her whole face turned completely red, and she quickly stepped back, covered her mouth and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

She was so anxious that she almost cried. The naughty side that had been revealed earlier was timidly retracted and she became reserved and humble again.

Jiang Si felt a pain in his heart when he saw this.

How much injustice had she suffered to make her so frightened over such a small matter?

"It's okay." Jiang Si's voice was very soft, gentle and patient as if he was coaxing a child, "I know you didn't mean it. I don't blame you. You don't have to blame yourself."

He reached out and rubbed Qingwan's head. Under the cool moonlight, his gently pressed brows were filled with dense tenderness.

"What do you want me to see, huh?"

The last word was dragged out in a hoarse and doting voice, and Qingwan's ears turned slightly red when she heard it.

Faced with an elder who is willing to indulge her, someone like Dong Xi, who lacks love, would easily fall for him and subconsciously rely on him and act like a spoiled child.

So Qing Wan was like a little fox who had stolen treasure. Her voice became much softer again, and she pulled Jiang Si to the garden with sparkling eyes.

"I just heard the cry of kittens and wondered if it was a lost baby of a mother cat."

She was looking ahead, following the sound, and speaking some cute baby words in a sweet and soft voice. Jiang Si felt his heart tingling and couldn't help laughing.

He couldn't help but respond as if he was coaxing a child: "Of course, we can find it and take it home to raise it together, okay?"

Qing Wan turned around in disbelief when she heard that, her beautiful and clear eyes full of joy.

"Is it okay?" She hesitated and said, "But I heard from Uncle Qin that you don't like small animals?"

"I like it now."

Jiang Si lied without blushing, "Besides, doesn't my upstairs just need a cat?"

Speaking of this, Qing Wan became even more excited. In the middle of the night, he dragged Jiang Si to find the lone kitten.

The little guy must have lost his mother cat. He huddled in a corner, making Qingwan feel distressed and pitiful.

She and Jiang Si picked up the kitten and spent most of the night playing with it before going to bed.

During this time, Jiang Si said that there were rats on the third floor, so he planned to move to the second floor, right next to Qing Wan.

The servant who was cleaning his room couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

This is where Jiang Si lives. Not to mention rats, even mosquitoes are guarded by special people.

In other words, Miss Dong, who had just arrived and had no idea about the power and money of the Jiang family, was confused. If it were someone else, they would probably have heard the wolfish ambition in those words.

Also from that night on, Qing Wan never saw Su Nuo in the villa again.

Jiang Si explained to her that the school workload was heavy, and Su Nuo's grades were really worrying. The school no longer allowed her to take leave, so she had to return to school.

Qingwan, on the other hand, was granted a long vacation as an exception and was able to study at home because she got first place in her major in the mid-term exam this semester.

So for a whole month, Qingwan didn't go to school.

During this period, Jiang Mosui's work, which was about to be finished, suddenly became busy again because of Jiang Si's temporary appointment.

His workload was so heavy that he couldn't even spare time to call Qing Wan or video chat with her. Whenever he wanted to squeeze out time to go to the villa to see his fiancée, it would always be delayed due to various unexpected events.

This resulted in the "patient" Jiang Si and Qing Wan being together day and night, and they became very familiar with each other.

In the first twenty-two years of Dong Xi's life, she received very little kindness from the elderly, which made her timid and well-behaved. She never dared to act like a child and therefore had never experienced the feeling of being held in the palm of an elder's hand and loved.

Even after she got a boyfriend, she continued to give to him, subconsciously putting herself in another sense of the word "elder" to pamper and indulge the person she loved, so much so that she could tolerate Jiang Mosui again and again.

This seems like a distorted compensatory psychology. She loves Jiang Mosui unconditionally, and also unconditionally loves her former self.

But now it's completely different.

There is a strong, excellent, gentle and omnipotent elder who appears beside her, knowing all her sensitivities, understanding all her inferiority complexes and seeing through all her sorrows.

He did not laugh at her, nor did he lament, nor did he show pity. Instead, he gently peeled off her fragile shell and carefully picked up her self-esteem and soul again.

So in a month, the once cowardly and inferior little white rabbit was spoiled with almost no bottom line, and developed a delicate and soft temper.

When eating, she would break the Jiang family's habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, and happily tell Jiang Si things that she thought were very interesting.

She would secretly get up at night and go to the kitchen to eat the cakes. When she was caught, she would act like a spoiled brat and finally drag Jiang Si to eat with her, causing her teeth to hurt for a long time the next day.

He would play pranks on Jiang Si and also secretly prepare surprises for him.

She doesn't need to be well-behaved all the time. She can lose her temper, act like a spoiled child, and not eat things she doesn't like or wear clothes she doesn't like.

With Jiang Si, she can do everything she wants except leaving.

"But I really want to attend this party."

Qingwan held the poster in her hand and lay on the sofa, acting coquettishly.

"This is the 150th anniversary of our school, and it's a grand event. The president of the student union invited me so seriously, and it would be rude to refuse. Besides, she has helped me before, so I have to return the favor anyway."

Jiang Si didn't move his brows. He leaned over to pick up the kitten that was jumping on Qing Wan's back, then half-knelt in front of the sofa, looking her in the eye.

"It's okay, I'll pay it back for the baby, don't worry."

When Qing Wan heard Jiang Si calling her baby in his deep, hoarse voice, she felt a little embarrassed and looked away.

He had originally asked her if she had any nickname. Qing Wan thought about it carefully and it seemed that only when her grandmother was still alive when she was a child would she be called baby, while everyone else always called her by her name.

By this calculation, Bao Bao is actually not a nickname, and her family doesn't care about her, let alone give her a more intimate nickname.

Jiang Si felt distressed when he heard this, and wanted to hold his poor little girl in his arms and comfort her, but in the end, he just restrained himself and touched her hair.

"They don't care about you, but I do."

"The grandma who loved you is gone, I will continue to love you."

“Don’t be sad…”

"……Baby."
