Knowing that Qin Lu would be picking her up, An Xiran wasn’t too worried. However, he reminded her to be careful.

Nan Yan nodded and also added, “Bai Haoxuan isn’t that honest. Be cautious, and if anything happens, contact me promptly.”

In the capital city:

Old Madam Qin paced anxiously in the living room, her agitation evident.

Nanny Li, feeling dizzy from watching her, went over to support her and said, “Madam Qin, you’ve been pacing for over twenty minutes now. Why don’t you sit down and take a rest?”

“She’s been on the plane for so long; why hasn’t she returned yet?” Old Madam Qin fretted, checking the time.

According to Yanyan’s boarding time, she should have arrived by now. Qin Lu had gone to pick her up early, but both of them hadn’t returned yet, and it was only natural for her to worry.

“Flight delays are normal occurrences. We’ve all experienced flight delays due to various reasons. You shouldn’t worry so much,” Nanny Li advised.

Nanny Li and Old Madam Qin had been close friends for most of their lives, so Nanny Li was one of the few who could speak to Old Madam Qin this way.

“No, I’m going to call Ah Lu and find out what’s going on,” Old Madam Qin declared, taking out her phone to dial.

“Ah Lu, are you at the airport? Has Yanyan arrived?” she asked once he picked up.

Qin Lu glanced at the girl next to him and handed her the phone. “It’s a call from Grandmother.”

Yanyan took the phone and said in a gentle voice, “Grandmother, it’s me,

Yanyan.”

“Oh, Yanyan, that’s good. As long as Ah Lu has picked you up, I can stop worrying, ” Old Madam Qin said with relief.

Her anxiety immediately subsided, and she added, “Tell Ah Lu to drive slowly, no need to rush. Grandmother will have a late-night snack prepared for you in the kitchen.”

“Okay, grandmother. It’s getting late, so you should rest early.”

“Alright, Yanyan, you’re such a good girl. Grandmother will hang up now.” Old Madam Qin ended the call and smiled at Nanny Li. “I’ve heard from her. Ah Lu, this child, he didn’t even think to call me.”

Nanny Li chuckled.

She held back her inner complaints.

Among the younger generation at home, no matter where they went or how far they traveled, Old Madam Qin had never shown such concern. It was only Miss Yanyan who could make her worry like this.

“Madam Qin, it’s almost midnight. Why don’t you go rest?” Nanny Li suggested.

“No, I want to wait for Yanyan to return. I need to see her with my own eyes before I can sleep,” Old Madam Qin replied, settling comfortably on the sofa. Like an emperor in repose, she exuded an air of calm and vitality. Her health had always been excellent, and now that she consumed Yanyan’s dietary concoctions daily, she was even better.

Even Nanny Li’s constitution had improved significantly from her previous ailments; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to endure this wait.

Seeing Old Madam Qin’s determination, Nanny Li decided not to persuade her further and chose to keep her company, waiting for Qin Lu to bring Yanyan back.

Nan Yan handed the phone back to Qin Lu after ending the call.

Qin Lu took the phone, looking at the delicate and beautiful face of the young girl beside him. He calmly said, “Grandma has been missing you so much these days. She’s been asking me when you’ll return. If it weren’t for the family stopping her, she probably would have sneaked off to Jin City to find you.”

Nan Yan’s finger twitched slightly, and she replied helplessly, “I’ll make sure to allocate more time in the future to visit her.’

Old Madam Qin had been exceptionally kind to her. Whenever someone was good to her, she genuinely reciprocated.

Qin Lu affectionately ruffled her hair and said, “If my grandmother knew you said that, she’d be delighted.” The kid had a good heart.

Not bad at all.

Feeling the large hand on her head, Nan Yan glanced at him with a hint of annoyance but remained silent. Just one comment, and he’d start flexing his abs; she couldn’t handle it!

Qin Lu seemed to have guessed what was on her mind and couldn’t help but let out a soft, husky chuckle.

His deep, melodious laughter was shamelessly provocative.

Nan Yan, for a rare moment, felt a slight warmth on her face. Annoyed and embarrassed, she shot him a glare, swatting his hand away and quickening her pace.

Qin Lu’s eyes sparkled with even more amusement, and he strode alongside her with his long legs.

Wu Yue had parked the car outside the airport long ago. Nan Yan opened the car door and sat directly in the front passenger seat.

Wu Yue was utterly bewildered, but he didn’t forget to greet her. “Miss Nan…” What was going on?

Why was Miss Nan not sitting in the back with the young master and instead took the front seat?

Did the young master and Miss Nan have a quarrel?

For a moment, Wu Yue’s heart raced again.

As he was lost in thought, someone knocked on his window.

Wu Yue promptly opened the car door and exited, retreating to the rear compartment.

Qin Lu was personally driving the car.

After settling in, Nan Yan noticed that she hadn’t fastened her seatbelt. Qin Lu leaned over and helped the sulking little one fasten it.

Nan Yan turned her head away, uninterested in his attempts.

Just as she was about to take out her phone, a lollipop appeared in front of her. It was lychee-flavored.

“Yanyan, here’s a lollipop for you. Don’t be mad at your big brother, okay?” Qin Lu coaxed patiently.

After all, young children needed to be treated with care.

Wu Yue, in the back, couldn’t help but cover his eyes with his hand, sneakily glancing.

Oh dear, was the young master activating his lovey-dovey brain now?

It was too sweet, almost sickeningly so!

It was so sweet that he had an urge to find someone to start a romantic relationship with!

Nan Yan wasn’t really angry at all.

She was just a bit irritated by his teasing.

Taking the lollipop, she didn’t reach for her phone again. Instead, she unwrapped the candy and quietly enjoyed it.

Qin Lu smiled silently, filled with indulgence, then stepped on the gas pedal, smoothly pulling out of the airport.

At midnight, the bustling capital city seemed much quieter. There weren’t many vehicles on the road, and Qin Lu wasn’t fond of speeding, so their car was moving at a steady and moderate pace.

Nan Yan, with a lollipop in her mouth, gazed out of the window at the passing scenery. She had to avoid looking at the handsome man beside her, who had the power to inadvertently stir her emotions.

This man had the ability to unconsciously attract her heart, and she had to prevent herself from focusing on him too much.

However, Qin Lu’s peripheral vision was always locked onto her.

The young girl remained quiet and well-behaved, a truly obedient child.

In the silence of the night and on the calm road, a sudden crisis emerged.

“Master, look out! We need to dodge!” Wu Yue suddenly yelled in panic.

Qin Lu had already noticed the situation. An out-of-control cargo truck, filled with goods, was careening towards them, having broken through the median barrier in the middle of the road. It was charging straight at their car.

At that speed, a collision would likely result in severe damage to their car.

Qin Lu’s expression turned serious as he swiftly steered the wheel in an attempt to evade the rampaging truck.

Nan Yan’s gaze locked onto the situation ahead, her nerves tensing up.

“Accelerate and drive through!” she said calmly.

There was no time to yield, and stopping would be a fatal choice.

The only way out was to accelerate and dash past the truck before it collided with them.

Qin Lu and she acted in unison. By the time she spoke, Qin Lu had already pressed the gas pedal to the floor.

In the next moment, the cargo truck’s front end was dangerously close to their

car….
