Yun Xiaoruan pursed her lips and held back the tears in her eyes.
"I overheard it... "That woman said it. They were talking about it outside the washroom, saying that I'm not her biological son, that my father adopted me because I'm beautiful, and that he'll definitely make me the big boss's lover in the future …"
Yun Xiaoruan sobbed.
Qin Zheng's gaze darkened.
Suddenly, he sat down and pulled Yun Xiaoruan into his arms.
"Fourth Uncle, they really scolded me first. I couldn't help but hit her …"
Yun Xiaoruan sobbed softly, her voice sounding extremely pitiful.
"But, you're not my blood related Fourth Uncle. We've only met a few times, and you don't like me …"
Qin Zheng felt his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand as he listened to the woman's complaints. Just a breath of air was enough to make him feel pain.
He did not know that behind her back, those women were slandering her in such a way.
Qin Zheng gently caressed Yun Xiaoruan's back with his big hand.
"I know, I know …"
Yun Xiaoruan cried until her throat was hoarse.
She looked up, her face full of anticipation.
"Fourth Uncle, do you trust me?" "I really didn't do it on purpose. She was the one who scolded me first …"
"I believe you!"
Qin Zheng bit his lips as he wiped the tears in his eyes.
"Then do you believe that it was that Miss Ai who first hit me before I fought back?"
Yun Xiaoruan said hoarsely to Qin Zheng.
"She wants to hit you?"
Qin Zheng's gaze suddenly darkened.
Yun Xiaoruan nodded. "She said I messed up her birthday party …"
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to hit you!"
Qin Zheng said as he caressed her hair.
"I was careless just now."
I am an elder. I will bring you there. You should be protected.
As Qin Zheng said this, he took another tissue and wiped Yun Xiaoruan's tears.
Yun Xiaoruan was a person with a lot of willpower. After being comforted by Qin Zheng, she instantly felt better.
"Fourth Uncle, will you trust me unconditionally from now on?"
Yun Xiaoruan looked up at him.
Qin Zheng looked at the expectant eyes of the girl in front of him. His heart, which had been silent for thirty years, was slightly moved.
It was like a calm lake had been thrown into a stone by someone, ripples rippling outwards.
This made him feel a bit worried about his gains and losses.
"Alright!"
Qin Zheng still compromised in the end.
"Great!"
Yun Xiaoruan was happy. She stood up and kissed on Qin Zheng's cheek. She looked at him with sparkling eyes. "Fourth Uncle, you're too great. I love you so much. If you could give me some pocket money, that would be even better."
Qin Zheng frowned, "No way!"
Yun Xiaoruan's face fell.
"Fourth Uncle …"
"This one won't do!"
As Qin Zheng spoke, he stood up and walked out in big strides.
Seeing the door of the room shut, Yun Xiaoruan finally let out a snort of hatred.
Stingy Qin Zheng!
Nanny Wang brought up the tray and saw Qin Zheng standing in front of Yun Xiaoruan's room in a daze.
"Mr. Qin, Miss, she …"
Qin Zheng seemed to come back to his senses, coughed and said, "She's not eating anymore, just leave it for now. If she's hungry again in the middle of the night, get up and heat it up for her."
Nanny Wang nodded.
Qin Zheng went back to his room, but his face was red and his heart was beating fast.
The place where Yun Xiaoruan had kissed him before was like the place where heat came from. It kept emitting heat to his limbs and bones.
Qin Zheng had lived for 30 years, this was the first time he felt this way.
