“Really?” the man murmured, then chuckled and said, “Thank you.”
His laughter was very pleasant, like the sound of green bamboos rustling in the summer breeze, clear and pleasant to the ears, making Qingqing a little dazed.
When she came back to her senses, she found a beautifully wrapped gift box in her hand, and she seemed to still hear the other person’s words before he left.
“This is for you, as a thank you gift.”
Qingqing had a very strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that the other party was not going to say thank you, but…
Birthday present.
But is this possible?
How could a stranger know when her birthday was, and her birthday was several days in the past.
Even if it’s a birthday present, it’s late.
The appearance of the mysterious man seemed like just a small stone falling into the lake, splashing a little ripples, but the lake water soon returned to calm.
“Qingqing, can you show your gift to uncle?”
Bai Qiyu was worried that this gift of unknown origin was not safe and wanted to take it away from Qingqing.
“No need, Qingqing can open the presents by herself.”
Qingqing refused Bai Qiyu’s help and took apart the gift.
It was a small golden lock with exquisite workmanship.
There were four words “good luck and good fortune” engraved on it. It should be the kind of longevity lock that adults ask for and give to children to keep them safe.
If he remembered correctly, this kind of lock can actually be opened, and inside…
Sure enough, a pure gold nameplate with Qingqing’s name on it appeared.
Bai Qiyu’s face darkened.
It’s so thoughtful. It’s definitely impossible that it was given on a whim. The other party had prepared this gift a long time ago.
“Qingqing, Nian Gao, I’m afraid we have to go back early today.”
“Okay.” In fact, they had already played most of the games they could play, and there was no point in staying in the amusement park, so Qingqing and Nian Gao readily agreed to go home early.
The three of them left, and behind them, the mysterious man appeared again.
He stared at the backs of Qingqing and the others, took off his hat, and then took off his mask, revealing a handsome face of about thirty years old.
The man was very good-looking and attracted a lot of attention from passers-by as soon as he revealed his true face. However, he was unaware of it and kept looking at Qingqing’s back until she disappeared.
After a while, his thin lips moved slightly and he uttered a few words silently.
——I will protect you.
As if sensing something, Qingqing subconsciously turned her head, and all she saw was a bustling crowd, with no trace of the mysterious man.
***
He met another person who had a special attitude towards Qingqing.
Bai Qiyu furrowed his eyebrows tightly, he was hesitating whether to tell the news to the other people.
He originally wanted to share the news, but then he thought of Han Weilan’s obstruction and gave up the idea.
If there are any clues, he can look them up on his own, there was no need to keep “helping each other” with others.
Because he returned home early, the dinner invitation with Fu Sijin in the evening was canceled. Bai Qiyu sent a message to let him know. After receiving a reply that everything was fine, he took the two children home directly.
Go back to his home.
When the car arrived at the gate of the community, he happened to see a familiar slender figure standing there.
Bai Qiyu stepped on the brakes instantly, his eyes squinted: “Han Weilan?”
Han Weilan noticed the car that suddenly stopped beside her, and her eyes shot in through the gradually lowering window, passing Bai Qiyu and skillfully landing on Qingqing in the back seat.
“Would you like to invite me to dinner?”
Han Weilan smiled, but it was not the charming smile she had before. Instead, it seemed a little forced. She even looked a little pale, not sure if it was because the weather was too cold.
“Get in the car.”
Bai Qiyu unlocked the car and let Han Weilan get in.
