Qing Yuran looked at this uncle; she wondered how she ended up in his arms again. "Where's mommy?" she thought, turning her head to search for her mother.
When she failed to see anyone familiar, she pursed her lips, getting ready to cry. Ye Xuan, having experience from earlier, started conversing with her to distract her before she started crying. Admittedly, Ye Xuan's method worked because he successfully got Qing Yuran to stop crying and smile at him instead.
Ye Xuan seemed to have found a strategy and continued to converse with Qing Yuran. Thankfully, he spoke quietly; otherwise, the two people in the other room would have heard him. Qing Zhu was alright because she knew there were people in the room, but Mrs. Qin was in the dark, so Qing Zhu was relieved that Ye Xuan was being discreet.
"Qing, why didn't you bring the child out?" Mrs. Qin asked Qing Zhu, who came out empty-handed.
