21 WOUNDED LITTLE RABBIT .

AN HOUR BEFORE ..

A voice errupted in that quiet waiting room .

" What do you mean by you wanted to take her home ?! " Qin Ruming tried to restrain his voice from becoming angry to his lovely wife but he seriously can't understand his wife this time .

He put his hands onto her shoulder and told her to sit beside him and tried to persuade her gently .

" MengMeng , I know that you pity her and you find children cute and treat them like you treat ours nevertheless she's a total stranger to us . It's not like she's some sort of our relatives , you just found her in the shopping mall and all you know is that she wanted to go to the orphanage and her name . You can't just suddenly wanting her to follow us . What about her real family , then .. ? "

" Ruming ... You and I know this fact too , the fact that she was abused . It doesn't matter whether she's abused by her family or she's some sort of beggar . A kid in that age should be running and acting coy to their parents not be terrified when someone reach you out like Aria is .. Please , Ruming .. I won't stop you if you want to investigate where she comes from but at least for now .. Let's just take her in , please .. ? I know you love daughters too .. Please , honey , okay .. ? "

Qin Ruming can never win against his wife's argument thus making him reluctantly agree to his wife . Even if his wife loved that kid , he still had to take a precaution , he needs to investigate her root as soon as possible .

********

In the car to their destination , Aria is still dumbfounded with this situation . The next moment she knows , she's already in the car with this aunt and her family .

Because of her experience with her family , she knows that this aunt genuinely treated her well without any dangerous intent . Instead , the grown man who seems to be this aunt husband and also currently driving seems quite scary for her and the two boys who's Aunt's kids sitting beside her now remind her of her brothers so she just quietly sitting down in her seat with a trembling heart .

Unlike Aria's premonition of the boys , Qin Lixin actually curious about her . At the back , he was seated in the middle while Aria was on his right and his eldest brother on his left . It's actually easy for him if he wanted to talk with her but his mother said that he needs to be extra careful with the ' baby ' thus he held it in of everything he wanted to said .

Because of him being the youngest , he was tempted of the feeling of wanting to be an older brother so when his mother said the ' baby ' gonna stay with them for a while , he doesn't think much of it and can't help of being excited for them to live together .

Half an hour passed and they arrived at the villa located in an exclusive place for the Qin . The area was filled with a vast field behind the villa meanwhile infront had a beautiful garden filled with flowers and swings specially made for the family .

At the door , there is already an old woman waiting for them as if he's already know when they will be back .

Aria felt surprised looking at that beautiful place . Unlike her ' home ' , this house doesn't have any neighbors nor it's located in the neighborhood filled with rich families but this area was also closed off with a strict security . Aria wonder how powerful this family is than her family .

The car stopped and the two boys unbuckled their seatbelts to get off the car . Qin Lijun as usual wanted to help little bao to get out but little bao stopped his brother and stared at the staying still Aria .

He asked Qin Lijun with a quiet voice intending to not make Aria heard him .

" Brother , how about the baby ? She's still to small to get out by herself . Her small leg won't reach the ground .. "

Qin Lijun sigh and carry little bao and put him down beside him .

" Just worry about yourself . You are just seven , you can't even get out by yourself and you wanted to help other people ? Let's go in now .. "

He closed the car door and hold little bao's hand to go in . Little bao hesitated and watch the baby still in the car while got dragged by his brother .

Aria finally unbuckled the seatbelt with much difficulty before realizing that the boys beside her already gone . She wanted to go out by herself when the door open from the outside .

It's the beautiful auntie that brought her here .

" Sweetie , it's fine , let me help you . "

Gu Xiomeng carried the small Aria in her arm reminiscing the fact that she used to do this to her kids , now they are already old enough to not be carried off . Aria felt too light and that remind her of her abuse . Such a pitiful child , anyway she's been longing for a daughter so it's fine for her to raise this little child .

They walked to the door with Qin Ruming watching his wife being sweet to the kid . He can't believe now he had to steal his wife attention from three person currently .

The old woman infront of the door greet Qin Ruming and Gu Xiaomeng . She's a little surprise watching the madam carrying a little girl in her arms .

Gu Xiomeng patted Aria's head and introduce her to the old woman .

" Aria sweetie , this is Nanny Xueyi , she's the one who take care of my two kids since they were a baby so you don't have to be afraid of her . She's great in handling kids like you especially you don't have to worry nobody understand you when you speak . "

Aria peeked from Gu Xiomeng arms and saw that Nanny Xueyi is smiling at her . She doesn't feel any malice from her so she smiled slightly at Nanny Xueyi and hid back in Gu Xiomeng arms .

Gu Xiomeng laughed a little watching this and speak again .

" Nanny Xueyi , sorry for troubling you . You already had to deal with my two naughty kids and I brought a daughter now but don't worry Aria won't trouble you . She's just a sweet child who's too shy meeting strangers . "

" Oh , what do you mean , madam ! First and second young master were not naughty at all . Of course madam , don't worry .. I will take care of the child just like I treat the young masters .. "

Meanwhile , Qin Ruming tapped his wife on her cheek and told her he want them to be alone . Gu Xiaomeng had no choice but to assure Aria that she'll be back and told Nanny Xueyi to take care of her .

***********

Nanny Xueyi carried Aria in her arms and brought her to the living room . She put Aria on the sofa and told her to wait for awhile so that she can brought some snacks for her .

Aria felt uncomfortable being alone in a stranger house and she didn't know if she did a right decision by following the beautiful aunt . She can sense that aunt husband didn't like her being there and she's also scared that aunt's children will treat her just like her brothers did . Her body trembled a little remembering about her family .

She doesn't know if Nexy is fine considering she's running away from home . She doesn't want Nexy to be beaten and locked up again ..

Sister Nexy ....

Suddenly , a cold voice interrupted her thoughts .

" Why are you trembling ? You act just like a wounded little rabbit .. "
