"Tang Baobao, you still haven’t told Great-Grandpa why you don’t like sweets," the old man said.

Tang Bao looked at Gu Mochen as he also turned his attentive gaze towards her. After thinking it over carefully, she decided it was better not to worry everyone.

With that thought in mind, Tang Bao pouted seriously and said with grievance, "I’ve got a tooth decay, so I obviously can’t have sweets, Great-Grandpa. You wouldn’t want to see me become a toothless old lady, would you?"

"You little..."

When Tang Bao said that, Jian Ran let out a huge sigh of relief.

The little loli was quite clever.

She actually knew to bring up tooth decay.

A smile played at the corners of Jian Ran’s mouth. The little loli was truly adorable.

Qin Mu also admired her, his dark eyes full of praise; Tang Bao had been taught very well by Jian Ran.

...

Gu Mochen’s lips curved slightly. Tooth decay was a common enough occurrence for a child.

Hmm, it looked like he would have to cut down on the little loli’s sugar intake.

But without sweets, a child wasn’t really a child anymore.

She must be missing out on a lot of fun.

...

After lunch.

Gu Mochen was ready to take Jian Ran and Tang Bao and leave... but the Qin family patriarch was reluctant to part. The little loli had been with him for just half a day, and he had been smiling all morning.

It had been many years since he had felt so good.

Therefore, when he saw Tang Bao was about to leave, the old patriarch watched her eagerly, feeling very reluctant to let her go.

Jian Ran was also anxious; she wanted to get back to draw design work for the Gu family.

Jian Ran pursed her lips; that old Mr. Qin was really stubborn indeed.

"Little Tang Bao, how about you stay with Great-Grandpa for a few days?" he suggested.

"Umm, Great-Grandpa, distance makes the heart grow fonder, you know. I’ll come back to visit Great-Grandpa with Daddy and Mommy often," she replied.

"Hmm."

The old patriarch knew he couldn’t keep them there, so he could only watch as Gu Mochen carried Tang Bao in his arms and held Jian Ran’s hand, walking towards the door.

Tang Bao waved her little arms playfully, looking very cute and mischievous.

"Goodbye, Great-Grandpa, goodbye! Goodbye Grandpa and Grandma, goodbye Uncle Qin!"

Jian Ran watched Tang Bao’s adorable antics and, together with Gu Mochen, said their goodbyes to everyone.

...

Jian Ran could see that the old Mr. Qin truly didn’t want to let go. Initially, she had trouble comprehending the old man’s ways, but now she was somewhat able to understand his thoughts.

This Qin Mu was his most beloved grandson... He just wanted to watch over Qin Family’s children.

Tang Bao’s arrival had delighted the old patriarch to no end...

After all, he truly adored his little grandson.

Jian Ran took Tang Bao from Gu Mochen’s arms and sat in the passenger seat, watching Gu Mochen gracefully get into the car and say their farewells.

Even after Gu Mochen’s car had driven a good distance away, Jian Ran could still see the figure of the old Mr. Qin standing there.

...

At the entrance of the Qin family home:

As old Mr. Qin watched Gu Mochen’s family of three depart, he couldn’t help but lament, "Why can’t I have that kind of luck, to have such a sweet little girl?"

Mr. Qin clenched his lips upon seeing this. The Qin family... had nothing but boys.

Not a single girl.

Seeing how adorable Tang Bao was, he really found her too cute.

"Dad, it’s cold outside. Let’s go back in," he said.

"Hmm."

When old Mr. Qin walked in, he couldn’t help but give Qin Mu a glare and said gruffly.

"Qin Mu... you better save me some worry... what a state of affairs."
