Half an hour later, Luo Qiqi had shared the parts of her story that she could tell with Xue Zhan.

As Xue Zhan listened, he felt like he was watching a supernatural movie, making everything seem unreal.

However, Luo Qiqi's eyes, which had changed earlier, reminded him that it was all real.

Seeing Xue Zhan remain silent for a while, Luo Qiqi extended her chubby hand in front of him and waved it, "Zhan babe, what's wrong? Are you scared? Don't worry, Qiqi will protect Zhan babe."

As she spoke, her little plump hand patted Xue Zhan's shoulder, portraying the image of a little grown-up.

Xue Zhan did feel scared, but considering that he was several years older than Qiqi baby, if he acted timid now, he would continue being seen as her little brother.

After calming his emotions, Xue Zhan shook his head with a calm expression, "If Luo Qiqi isn't afraid, then Zhan babe won't be afraid either."

However, there was a hint of avoidance in his gaze, indicating his inner unease.

"As long as you're not afraid!"

Luo Qiqi nodded with relief, yawned, and pointed to the door, "Baby is sleepy. Zhan babe can go back to your room and sleep!"

Without waiting for Xue Zhan to speak, she stood up from the ground, trotted to the bedside, tiptoed to the bed, and got into the quilt.

Xue Zhan looked around warily. He felt a cold wind blowing in his ear and his body could not help but tremble.

Hesitantly, Xue Zhan approached Luo Qiqi's bed. Using a lame excuse, he said, "Uh, Luo Qiqi, you might not be used to sleeping alone. How about I stay with you tonight?"

However, Luo Qiqi shook her head, patted her little chest, and boldly declared, "Baby is a big girl now. Lion Master says big kids need to sleep alone."

Uh... Xue Zhan found that he just got rejected by Qiqi baby.

Xue Zhan suddenly realized that this little one wasn't easy to fool. But if he insisted on staying, it would make him look like a coward.

In the end, he could only bid her goodnight and reluctantly left the room, heading back to his own.

On the other side, Da Hua had entered the room of Mrs. Tian. At that moment, Mrs. Tian was on the phone.

When Da Hua suddenly appeared at the window, it startled Mrs. Tian. She exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth. After realizing it was just a cat on the windowsill, she let out a sigh of relief. "Oh my! You scared me."

From the phone, a man's anxious voice came, "Mrs. Tian, is something wrong? Talk to me!"

Mrs. Tian glared at Da Hua, then brought the phone back to her ear. "Nothing happened, I was just startled by a cat. I..."

"Beep beep!"

A car's engine roared outside the courtyard, interrupting Mrs. Tian's words.

Mrs. Tian looked out of the window and said into the phone, "Old Master is back!" Then she hung up.

Da Hua felt a bit frustrated that he hadn't come down earlier.

After watching Mrs. Tian leave the room, it, too, decided to leave.

After coming out of Mrs. Tian's room, Da Hua didn't immediately return to Luo Qiqi's room. Instead, he carefully roamed around the villa to see if he could find any other issues.

However, apart from the strong presence of Yin energy in the villa, it didn't discover anything else unusual. Disappointed, it returned to Luo Qiqi's room.

Meanwhile, in the basement of an upscale villa in a certain villa district, Zhou Mu, dressed in a Taoist priest frock, opened his eyes and smirked. "Hehe, I didn't expect the Xue family to have such a pleasant surprise."

Knock, knock!

Someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?!"

Zhou Mu squinted his eyes dangerously, gazing at the door.
