Chapter 446: Chapter 445: Xiao Qing Can’t Laugh Anymore
Seeing that her dad wasn’t paying attention to her, Leng Shuangshuang ate with gusto, especially since Xiao Bao enthusiastically brought her all her favorite fried foods, leaving the two delicate little girls happily munching away.
Da Bao sat quietly beside them, watching them eat. He had eaten quite a bit, but unlike the two little girls, he ate gracefully and quickly. Before long, he had almost finished his food, wiped his hands, and took out his iPad to play.
Leng Yixing ordered some more food.
Having returned from a business trip, he knew Qin Huaixin had rushed here directly from the airport after coming back from Qin Zhao’s place, not having had the chance to eat on the way.
When he was nearly done eating, he glanced over at Leng Shuangshuang, and that single look scared him out of his wits.
Leng Shuangshuang’s little face was now a bright red, and she was eating while clutching her face with a strange expression.
Scared, Leng Yixing dropped his chopsticks and scooped Leng Shuangshuang into his arms, "Shuang’er, Shuang’er, stop eating, quick, you can’t eat anymore."
He was extremely annoyed as he took the fried chicken leg from Leng Shuangshuang’s hand and put it on the table, then began to check her face.
Leng Shuangshuang had always been frail, so much so that at five years old she still looked like a child of three or four. Leng Yixing and Qin Huaixin had given her many tonics, but Leng Shuangshuang didn’t absorb them well.
"Daddy, I still want to eat..." Leng Shuangshuang, wiping her face, still wanted to eat.
"Listen, you can’t..."
"Leng! Yi! Xing!"
Hearing the furious voice behind him, Leng Yixing inwardly cursed his luck.
He thought that even if Leng Shuangshuang overate, she would just have a slight allergic reaction, or some little red spots on her hands, but he never expected her face to turn this red.
If he knew, would he as a father still harm his own daughter like this?
He turned around, and Qin Huaixin was already in front of him, angrily slapping Leng Yixing’s hand away, then hugging Leng Shuangshuang to her chest with a pained look, "Shuang’er, stop scratching, Mommy will take you to the hospital right now."
Leng Yixing was in the wrong; at this point, even if he wanted to do something, he did not dare, and could only stand there frozen, watching mother and daughter.
Qin Huaixin gave him a sharp glare, "What are you standing there for! Hurry up and go drive the car?"
"Oh oh."
Seeing Leng Yixing hurry off, Qin Huaixin looked apologetically at Xiao Qing, "Qingqing, I’ll take Shuang’er to the hospital first, I’ll catch up with you later."
"Okay, she might be having an allergy, don’t panic."
"Mhm."
After the family of three left, Xiao Bao finally had her fill.
She touched her round belly and asked, "Mommy, why is the little sister’s face so red?"
"She’s having an allergic reaction."
Xiao Bao somewhat understood, nodded her head, and then asked Da Bao, "Brother, what does ’allergic’ mean?"
Interrupted from his game, Da Bao threw an annoyed glance at her, "Look it up yourself."
Xiao Qing laughed, "Let’s go, we’re heading home."

She was in a good mood today, even though the woman who claimed to be her best friend had smeared her with tears. She felt unexplainably happy. In City B, aside from Yang Qiao and Chestnut, she didn’t have many other female friends she was close to.
Having one more friend is always a good thing, not to mention a friend with whom you can have good conversations? The thought that she could learn about her past from Qin Huaixin couldn’t help but make her happy.
However, when she arrived home at Jinxiu Garden with Da Bao and Xiao Bao, Xiao Qing couldn’t smile anymore.
As she opened the door, a pair of men’s shoes caught her eye, along with a suitcase, quietly sitting in the corner. She looked around, but the man himself was nowhere to be seen.
