Lian Xinying's heart 'boomed', feeling as if something had exploded within her.
Ji Fan didn't notice the anomaly on Lian Xinying's face and turned toward the door, "I'll go open the door."
Ji Fan needed some time to think of a good reason.
A reason for taking Xiaocheng away, as well as an explanation that the 'weird uncle' the brat was talking about was actually just an old man selling candied haws on the street.
"Don't!" Lian Xinying picked up Xiaocheng, even more panicked than Ji Fan, "Quick, hold Xiaocheng and find a place to hide... and don't make any sound."
After speaking, she stuffed the little bundle into Ji Fan's arms.
She then coaxed the little bundle, "You go hide with Uncle Fan first, Mommy will come find you later, okay?"
All kids love playing hide and seek.
Xiaocheng nodded his little head with a mix of grievance and obedience, then Ji Fan held him.
Before taking Xiaocheng to hide, Ji Fan glanced towards the door and asked, "Who is it outside?"
