Once the family of three arrived at the residence, Li Qin Yao helped her daughter off her chair and put her down on the ground.
At the thought that she had not met her great-grandfather for a week, Zhang Li Xue let go of her mother's hand and ran towards the house with her short legs.
Surprised that her daughter was suddenly let go of her hand and run over, Li Qin Yao called out her name urgently. "Li Xue! Be careful."
The little girl turned around and stopped abruptly. However, because of that, she tripped on the small rock on the road.
She squeezed her eyes shut as she braced for the impact. However, the pain she was anticipating did not come. Zhang Li Xue felt a big hand around her stomach, lifting her off the ground.
Looking at her father who had caught her before she fell, Zhang Li Xue's face scrunched up. She wrapped her little arms around her father's neck and started to burst into tears.
