Qin Zheng stood by the bedside, looking down at her from above.

Yun Xiaoruan pursed her lips, trying to hold 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 …"

As Yun Xiaoruan spoke, she sobbed silently.

Qin Zheng's gaze darkened.

Suddenly, he sat down and pulled Yun Xiaoruan into his embrace.

"Fourth Uncle, they really scolded me first. I couldn't help but hit her …"

Yun Xiaoruan sobbed softly, sounding exceptionally pitiful.

"But, you're not my real Fourth Uncle. We've only met a few times, and you don't like me …"

Qin Zheng heard the little girl's complaints. He felt as if his heart was being held tightly by an invisible big hand.

He did not know that behind her back, those women were slandering her in such a way.

His large hand gently caressed Yun Xiaoruan's back, Qin Zheng caressed her back time and time again.

"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 pursed his lips as he spoke, and reached out to wipe the tears in the depths of her 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 eyes suddenly darkened.

Yun Xiaoruan nodded, "She said that I caused trouble at her birthday party."

"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to hit you!"

Qin Zheng said as he reached out to caress 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 pulled a tissue and wiped Yun Xiaoruan's tears.

Yun Xiaoruan's personality was extremely good, and after being comforted by Qin Zheng a few times, she immediately became less uncomfortable.

"Fourth Uncle, will you unconditionally believe me from now on?"

Yun Xiaoruan looked up at him.

When Qin Zheng saw the look of anticipation in the girl's eyes, his heart, which had been still for thirty years, suddenly moved a little.

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 got up and quickly kissed Qin Zheng on the cheek, then looked at him with his bright eyes: "Fourth Uncle, you are too great, I love you too much, if only you could give me some pocket money, it would be even better."

Qin Zheng frowned, "No!"

Yun Xiaoruan's face fell.

"Fourth Uncle …"

"This one won't do!"

Qin Zheng said as he stood up and walked out.

Seeing that the door was closed, Yun Xiaoruan then snorted.

stingy Qin Zheng!

Nanny Wang came up with a tray and saw Qin Zheng standing in front of Yun Xiaoruan's door in a daze.

"Mr. Qin, little miss, she …"

As if he had just regained his senses, Qin Zheng coughed and said, "She's not eating anymore, leave it for now. If she's hungry again in the middle of the night, get up and heat it up for her."

The Nanny Wang nodded.

Qin Zheng returned to his room, but felt his heart palpitating and his face red.

The place that Yun Xiaoruan had kissed before seemed to be where the heat came from, as it kept emitting heat to her limbs and bones.

This was the first time Qin Zheng had felt this in his 30 years of life.
