“But Boss, great-grandpa said you have to watch the young master yourself…” The assistant was scared into silence when Qin Nanyu glared at him,
Qin Nanyu stepped out of the car. He propped one hand on the door frame and looked at the boy in the car, “Qin Morui, you’re four-years-old now. You have to know how to take care of yourself, okay?”
The four-year-old boy: “…”
The assistant: “…”
With a dad like this, the assistant had no choice but to take the boy with him to the parking lot.
After parking the car, the assistant circled to the rear door. When he opened the door, no one was inside.
The young master is gone!

Nanpo Apartments.
“Baby, mommy is running late today and can’t take you to grandpa and grandma’s snack shop. Wait at home, they’ll come and get you, okay?” After grabbing her bag, Ji Weitian bent down to kiss her daughter’s cheek and prepared to run out the door.
The little girl watched her mom rushing around. Before Ji Weitian left, she coolly reminded her, “Mommy, your keys are still on the table.”
Ji Weitian paused and turned back.
She went to look for her keys on the table, her face embarrassed. She looked up and down for the cat.
Who’d have thought her usual excuse was not around!
Ji Weitian touched her nose awkwardly, picking up her keys. “I remember putting the keys in my bag. It must have been Fatty messing around. I’ll get her later!”
Then she ran out of the door.
Qin Nanyu had been missing for days. He suddenly called a meeting, so it must be for launching the project.
It’s the first day of participating in the experiment. She cannot be late, or he’d really look down on her.
Ji Weitian rushed to work.
Only Little Bun is left in the apartment now. When she saw Ji Weitian leave, she patted the sofa armrest. “Fatty, my mom has left.”
“Meow — ”
The cat, who’s used to being an excuse for mistakes, crawled out from under the sofa.
It swooped to her owner’s feet, rolled over to her back, and played cute.
The cat wanted to make it obvious that it had nothing to do with Jie Weitian forgetting her keys.
The girl picked up the cat and stroked its head, mumbling, “Mommy is so scatter-brained. When is she going to find me a daddy?”
Also, she has told her mom many times. She was four now, she could go out herself and didn’t need her grandparents picking her up.
Little Bun put down Fatty and changed her outfit. Then she left in her yellow ducky slippers.
She locked up the apartment, called for the elevator and left the building. She walked toward the nearby snack shop with familiarity.
The early morning wind carried the moisture from dewdrops. As the golden sunlight cast down, there seemed to be a layer of gold on the streets.
The four-year-old walked on confidently.
She had her hands tucked into the pockets of her overalls. As she considered how to find herself a new daddy, a sound came from ahead of her.
“Make some room! Make some room!”
Before Ji Xingyao could react, someone collided into her, making her fall to the ground. In the next second, the person actually fell onto her.
“Ouch!” The two of them fell into a heap.
