The man took the shopping bag from Tao Tian and tactfully didn't pick up An An.

"Baby be good, let's go up the stairs ourselves today." Tao Tian lowered his head and looked at little An An who was tightly grabbing his hand as he spoke with a doting expression.

"Well, I'm a man." An An's face was filled with excitement as he walked up the stairs step by step.

"Alright, sir, my home is here." Tao Tian pointed to a closed metal door and said.

"Oh, it's a good thing the floor isn't that high," the man was quite tactful, and turned to leave after handing over the items.

"Mister …" Tao Tian hesitated for a moment before politely saying, "Come in and take a seat. I'll be troubling you today."

"This …" The man seemed to have not expected that the girl, who had always been wary of him, would invite him on her own accord. He was shocked.

"Come in and have a glass of water before you go." Tao Tian added.

"This …" The man raised his head and looked at Tao Tian's sincere face.

"Alright then." As he spoke, the man followed Tao Tian into the house.

"Mr. An, take a seat. I'll be right back." After putting the things away, Tao Yao turned around and went to the kitchen to make tea for the man.

The man in the living room wasn't sitting on the sofa but was looking around as if all the paving had been done for this moment.

When the man saw An An and Tao Tian busily working in the kitchen, he temporarily didn't show any signs of coming out. Instead, his courage grew as he stood up and began to search everywhere, as if he was searching for something special.

Tao Tian's bookcase, An An's amusement park, had already been searched by him wherever he looked.

"An An, let's go and give this to uncle to drink." Hearing Tao Tian's voice from the kitchen, the man hurriedly returned to his seat, pretending to be calm. He still had a smile plastered on his face.

"Mister An, I've just brewed some tea. Have a cup of tea before leaving." Tao Tian limped over and placed the tea set on the table in front of the man.

"Okay, thank you." The man nodded towards Tao Yao in a courteous manner and said, "You should hurry up and rest or apply some medicine to your ankle. Otherwise, if you keep dragging it out, it will become serious." The man reminded her with concern.

"Mommy, hurry up and do it. I'll go get the medicine box for you." An Ran used her small hands to support Tao Tian so that she could sit on the sofa. She ran into the bedroom, took out a medicine box, and ran in front of Tao Tian.

"Your baby is so obedient." The man said with a smile as he sipped his tea and looked at An An's flustered appearance.

"Hur hur, I'm fine." Praise for his own child was more like the highest reward for a mother. Tao Tian couldn't help but smile as he accepted the praise of the man for An'an.

"Mommy is good, it doesn't hurt at all." Tao Tian took off his shoes and socks, exposing his swollen ankles, while picking up the spray that An An had handed him. Carefully spraying it onto his feet. His ankles still faintly ached, causing Tao Tian to furrow his brows from time to time.

Upon seeing this, little An An imitated Tao Tian's usual way of comforting her and started to blow on Tao Tian's wound.

"Hur hur." Tao Tian was stunned at first. Then, he couldn't help but smile as he looked at An Ran.

"The baby is so obedient." The man couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scene before him. He seemed to be slightly moved.

"Yes, your tea is very fragrant." The man took another sip of his tea and praised.

"It's fine, I just added some honey and sugar to the normal tea leaves." Tao Tian explained.

"No wonder it tastes so sweet." The man took another sip.

The sound of the door opening attracted everyone's attention.

"Uncle is back." Hearing the door open, An An was the first to rush to the door, excitedly waiting for Tao Ran.

"Yes, is your lover coming back?" the man asked, turning his head to Tao Tian.

"Oh, no, no." Tao Tian was a bit embarrassed. "It's my brother." As he spoke, he pointed at the door.

"Sister, An An, I …" Tao Ran was about to shout out that I was back, but he was surprised to see a strange man sitting on the sofa with Tao Tian's swollen ankle.

"Big brother, you're back." Tao Yao smiled as he looked at Tao Ran. "How is it? Big manager, why are you so early today?" Ever since Tao Ran had been promoted to be a department manager, he had been working even harder and busier.

"This is …" "What's going on?" Tao Ran looked warily at the unfamiliar man sitting next to Tao Tian as he asked with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, I just brought An An to the market to buy groceries. I accidentally sprained my leg. It was this gentleman who sent me back." Tao Tian briefly told Tao Ran what happened just now.

"Oh, so it's like that." Tao Ran's complexion slightly eased up as he quickly walked in front of Tao Tian to check his wounds.

"Why are you so careless?" Tao Ran reproached as he looked at the wound.

"Come, big brother will give you a massage." After speaking, Tao Ran took off his suit jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and was about to give Tao Tian a massage.

"Oh, brother, there's no need." Seeing that there was an outsider present, Tao Yao felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh, Mister Tao, I'll take my leave first." The man tactfully stood up and left.

"Thank you, sir," Tao Ran nodded at the man before standing up and escorting him to the door.

"Miss An, remember to rest well and not do any strenuous movements." When they reached the door, the man did not forget to loudly shout out in a considerate manner.

"Oh, I know, thank you." Tao Tian loudly replied. His body slightly leaned forward as he watched the man leave.

"Thank you for your concern for my sister. I still need to take care of my sister and the little ghost, so I won't be sending you off. Please take care, mister." Tao Ran politely said, but there was a trace of unfamiliarity in his tone. He was naturally wary and resistant to strangers.

"Alright, goodbye." The man nodded and left.

"Yao Yao, what's going on? Why were you so careless?" After sending the man off, Tao Ran immediately returned to Tao Tian's side. He dipped his hands in medicinal wine and began to massage Tao Tian.

"Also, why would a stranger come to our house?" Tao Ran was slightly dissatisfied with this.

"Big brother, I know." Tao Tian looked like he was trying to curry favor with his brother as he shook his hand, "But you saw me buy so many things and take care of An An, I simply can't walk anymore. Just now, that An mister enthusiastically said that he wanted to send me home. Is that kind of kindness hard to refuse?" Tao Tian was most adept at acting coquettishly with his older brother and asking him to forgive him.

"Alright, alright, I give up. Next time, be careful." Tao Ran was always helpless against Tao Tian's cute attacks.

"Recently, I feel weird as if someone is following me. I don't know if it's because I'm too tired or not." Tao Ran muttered to himself, "After I finish this business deal, we will leave here. This place is no longer safe."

"Brother, do you feel that way too?" Tao Ran's words resonated with Tao Tian, "It seems that something really happened." Tao Tian nervously said.

"Why? You feel that way too." Tao Ran looked at Tao Tian in surprise and asked.

"Yeah, just now, I kept having the feeling that someone was following behind me, but when I looked back, there was nothing. I thought it was because I couldn't rest well these days." Tao Tian simply described his feelings.

His sister's words aroused Tao Ran's vigilance, "It seems that we shouldn't stay here any longer. We have already been discovered, Irene is really unreliable. Are we really going to kill them all?" This woman is really scary. " Tao Ran said indignantly.

"Brother, are we leaving now? "What about Miss Ye?" Naturally, Tao Tian knew that Ye Ning Tian had always been deeply in love with her older brother.

"Yao Yao, listen up. In my heart, no one is more important than you." Tao Ran spoke emotionally as he looked at Tao Tian with deep emotion.

"But big brother …" Tao Tian could not help but say, "Then, Miss Ye …"

"I know, Miss, that I was the one who took her on, that she still has the love of her parents, that she will find a better man, and you? You only have An An and I as family. " Tao Ran deeply understood Tao Tian's situation and naturally felt more sorry for her.

"Big brother …" Tao Tian had some grudges in mind. For the sake of An An and himself, she would naturally leave. But for the sake of her brother, what about him? She could clearly feel her brother's favorable impression of Ye Ningtian. It was just that he was constantly denying it.

Don't say anything more, I will finish the work at hand as soon as possible, and then we will leave, no matter where we go. Grandfather hasn't given up on tracking us down, we must leave, we have been discovered, maybe Auntie Zhong will be in danger too, so we might as well call her along. Tao Ran suddenly remembered the elegant old man who lived next door.

"Alright, I will go and talk to him tomorrow. It seems like he has just discovered us and won't be able to act soon." Tao Tian was rather calm as he analyzed the situation.

"Yao Yao, I won't let you and An An get hurt." Tao Ran's words were firm and unquestionable.

"Big brother …" Tao Tian had a face full of emotion. He didn't know how many times he had felt this. He always felt that the person he owed the most in his life was his older brother, but how could he ever ask her to repay him? I hope the heavens will treat my brother well...

Tao Tian subconsciously raised his head to look at the dark blue sky outside.

"Mommy, I'm hungry." An An An ran over and pulled at the corner of Tao Tian's clothes as she whispered to him.

"Oh, An An's hungry. Then, what do you want to eat first?" Only then did Tao Tian remember that he had not cooked dinner.

"Good An An, Mommy will make you some delicious food right now." After speaking, Tao Tian leaned on the sofa and tried to prop himself up.

"Forget it, forget it. With your current skills, what are you doing?" Tao Ran said with a bit of heartache, "I think it's better if I go." After saying that, Tao Ran walked towards the kitchen.

"Big brother, I can do it. How about the two of us work together, and you help me out." Tao Tian hobbled as he chased after her.

"This... "Alright then. You be careful and slow down." Tao Ran loudly warned as he supported Tao Tian and his sister into the bedroom.

"This is bad!" As soon as he entered the kitchen, Tao Tian suddenly realized something and said in a frightened tone.

"What's wrong?" Tao Ran was startled by Tao Tian's sudden appearance.

"Just when we thought that someone was following us, a stranger took the initiative to help me. This Mister An really thinks that he's strange." Tao Tian furrowed his brows as he recalled his encounter with an unfamiliar man today.

"Could he be one of grandpa's men?"
