Then, Zheng Qilin revealed a smile. When he smiled, there were two small dimples on his face. He was very cute, and he exuded a refreshing and handsome feeling. Of course, it was only when he did not speak.

Song Nuanyi could not help but reveal a smile as well. She said, “This is not a place for you to play. Come with me.”

She took the lead and walked across the road. She turned her head and smiled when she saw that he was obediently following behind her. This child was really obedient.

Song Nuanyi did not realize that she was only three years older than Zheng Qilin. However, his boyish ignorant look could stimulate a woman’s maternal instinct.

After leading Zheng Qilin across the road, Song Nuanyi stopped and asked, “Did you come alone?”

Zheng Qilin nodded.

Song Nuanyi turned her head and looked around. Indeed, she did not find anyone secretly following her. If there really was someone protecting Zheng Qilin in secret, he would not have been standing alone in the middle of the road just now. It was so dangerous. If song Nuanyi’s driver had not stopped in time, he would have crashed into Zheng Qilin.

She was just a little puzzled. The Zheng family was usually so protective of Zheng Qilin. How could they let him come out alone? Could it be that the Zheng family’s love for Zheng Qilin was all fake?

That’s right. In a wealthy family, how could a child with a low IQ really be valued?

Song Nuanyi had this tragic thought as she looked at the obedient Zheng Qilin beside her. A hint of pity flashed in her eyes. She warned, “In the future, you can’t go and play in the middle of the road. It’s very dangerous, understand?”

Zheng Qilin shook his head and said, “I’m looking for my mother. My mother disappeared here.”

Song Nuanyi frowned, not understanding what he meant. She thought to herself, ‘Wasn’t his mother Mrs. Zheng? Shouldn’t Mrs. Zheng be in the Zheng family residence? Why would he be looking for his mother on the road?’

However, seeing the kid’s stubborn expression, it seemed that he would still come back to the road in the future. She was worried that he would be in danger. After all, he could not stay lucky forever.

“If you stand in the middle of the road and play, you will never see your family again. It might also cause others to never see their family again. Are you willing to do that?” She tried to use words that he could understand.

Zheng Qilin showed a hint of hesitation. Then, he looked at Song Nuanyi and asked, “Will they be like me, unable to find their mother?”

Song Nuanyi saw that he kept mentioning his mother, so she nodded and said, “Yes, if you continue to stand in the middle of the road and play, they will not be able to see their mother.”

Zheng Qilin looked conflicted. He nodded seriously and said, “I understand.”

He lowered his head like an abandoned puppy, looking pitiful.

Song Nuanyi was about to comfort him when she saw that he was suddenly attracted by a shop selling roasted sweet potatoes. She swallowed her words and went to buy him a roasted sweet potato.

Zheng Qilin took the roasted sweet potato. He had a wide grin, and his eyes looked like crescent moons. He said with a smile, “Thank you, sister.”

Song Nuanyi patted his head and said, “You should call your family later. I’ll be leaving first.”

The driver had already parked the car by the roadside. Song Nuanyi walked towards the car. She had only taken two steps when she felt that something was wrong. Why did she feel like someone was following her?

She turned around and saw Zheng Qilin following closely behind her. He was still holding the roasted sweet potato in his hand.

Song Nuanyi frowned and quickly swatted his hand. When she saw that his palm was red, she could not help but rebuke him angrily, “Are you stupid? Don’t you know that it’s steaming hot?”

Zheng Qilin suddenly burst into tears. The people around him also gathered around to watch. She hurriedly tried to comfort him, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not get him to quiet down.

She quickly pulled him into the car. Then, she explained, “Qilin, I didn’t mean to scold you. I was just worried about you when I saw that you were holding the piping hot sweet potato with your bare hands`.”
