"May I come along?"
She inquired tentatively, as if a soft little cat extending its tiny paws.
"You may."
If it were any other child, Ruan Qingran wouldn't even consider bringing them along to work.
But this little one, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad?
At this moment, Ruan Shu had already raised her three soft little fingers very seriously to assure, "Brother, I'll be good and won't disturb your work."
A smile flickered in Ruan Qingran's eyes as he lightly tapped Ruan Shu's forehead with his slender fingers, "I'll trust you for now."
Ruan Shu felt a twinge of pain, but she actually enjoyed this intimate interaction. Her round, cat-like eyes were curved with a soft, sweet smile.
Like everyone else, even when she smiled, it was so soft and sweet that it softened people's hearts.
Ruan Qingran took the child's hand and guided her onto the hovercar, then flew to the largest hospital on the main star.
The Military First Hospital was not too far from the military headquarters. Ruan Qingran pointed outside the window from the hovercar.
"That cluster of buildings over there is where your father works."
Ruan Shu clung to the car window, trying to widen her eyes to see the place her brother pointed to, as if she could catch a glimpse of her father that way.
But in reality, she could only see the outlines of some buildings.
It was only considered not too far because of the speed of the hovercar. On foot, it would take a day and a night to walk there.
The hovercar continued to move further away until she couldn't see it anymore.
Another massive building was getting closer to them.
A white cluster of buildings with a prominent hospital sign.
The hovercar drove directly inside after passing through the access road.
Ruan Shu looked down and saw a bustling crowd of people. Some were ordinary citizens, but many were in military uniforms coming in and out.
Everyone seemed accustomed to this and didn't show much surprise.
"We're here."
Her brother's voice brought Ruan Shu's thoughts back.
As the car door opened, he had already walked up to her.
With superior features, the young man, as cold as snow, slightly opened his arms.
"Come here."
Ruan Shu didn't hesitate and hugged him directly.
This seemed to be the doctor's work area, with many doctors in white coats coming and going, and hardly any patients.
In a very large and beautiful garden, she even saw a magnificent fountain with fish that appeared more stunning than koi, leaping very high.
Ruan Shu's young, round, blue eyes were filled with pure curiosity, and her small, white, delicate chin rested on her brother's shoulder, giving her a very obedient appearance.
Ruan Qingran carried his little cousin all the way, walking with long strides towards his office area.
He encountered many people who greeted him along the way, and he always responded with a distant attitude, nodding without being cold or indifferent.
He was aloof and didn't say a word, which was completely different from how he behaved at home.
At home, even though he seemed distant, he would still talk to her!
This pair, one big and one small, was truly eye-catching. Ruan Qingran was already a legendary figure in this hospital, known as the cold male god.
But today, he brought a super cute child to the hospital!
Ruan Qingran and a child—such a scene would have been unimaginable if it hadn't appeared in front of them.
And that child, so small and beautiful, if it weren't for her eyes still looking around with curiosity. When her gaze met someone else's, she would become shy and instinctively smile softly. She would really look like an extremely delicate doll!
After walking a distance, the nurses couldn't resist gathering together to gossip.
"Is that her?" She looks even better in real life than in the videos.
"She doesn't make a fuss at all while leaning on the male deity, so well-behaved." "I have been a nurse for many years and have taken care of numerous children, but I have never seen one so well-behaved."
"Her hair is the same color as Dr. Ruan's, right?" "Like a little angel, if I had a child like this, I would bring her here every day to show her off to you all."
"No, no, no, although the little cutie's hair is also white, I always feel like it has a warm glow, a very warm white, while Dr. Ruan's is a cold white."
"It's a matter of personality, I think." Dr. Ruan looks so handsome holding the little cutie; no wonder I fell for him!
"I never thought Dr. Ruan would actually bring his sister to the hospital." If I hadn't read the gossip online yesterday that they were father and daughter, I would have believed it! "So, how did he resist bringing such a cute sister to work before!"
The nurses in the hospital were discussing enthusiastically. It seemed that just because Ruan Qingran brought a child, the atmosphere in the hospital building was livelier than usual.
As Ruan Qingran stepped out of the elevator with his little cousin on his office floor, he suddenly noticed several pairs of eyes staring at him.
Unlike the previous quick averted gazes, these gazes were a bit more intense.
If Ruan Shu were a cat at this moment, her fur would have exploded like a dandelion.
She shrunk into her brother's arms, holding onto his neck nervously, looking even smaller.
Ruan Qingran comfortingly patted her back and glanced around casually.
This was the thirteenth floor, and although the entire floor was quite spacious, only a few individuals had their own offices here.
They were all top talents in the industry.
"Teacher Ruan, you must be tired from carrying the little one." "Shall I take over for you?"
The most outgoing and friendly young man, Gu Feixing, was the first to run over. Although he was talking to Ruan Qingran, his gaze was firmly fixed on Ruan Shu.
"Hello, little sister." I am your brother's colleague, Gu Feixing. You can call me Brother Gu, hehehe…
Gu Feixing flashed her a bright, healthy smile.
"Hello, Brother Gu."
Ruan Shu didn't know how to refuse, and the other party was so enthusiastic.
She hugged her brother even tighter with her small arms, her pink and white face blushing like a freshly picked peach.
She obediently called him Brother Gu, her voice soft and sweet, melting Gu Feixing's heart.
"Ruan, let me hold the little sister."
Ruan Qingran glanced at him and said, "Who said she's your little sister?"
With just this one sentence, he walked away with his young cousin.
Gu Feixing wasn't angry about being treated so coldly. After all, Dr. Ruan's temper was well-known in the hospital for being aloof and not liking to interact with people. He was thick-skinned and familiar, so he followed along.
"Ruan, we've been working together for so long, so there must be some affection between us." "Your sister is my sister too."
Gu Feixing was talking to Ruan Qingran, but his gaze was still fixed on Ruan Shu.
"Brother Ruan, let me hold her."
Ruan Qingran glanced at him and said, "Who said she's your sister?"
With just this one sentence, he walked away with his young cousin.
Gu Feixing was treated so coldly, yet he did not get angry. After all, Dr. Ruan's temper is well-known throughout the entire hospital.
