A Fruitful Harvest

Qin Haochen held her in his arms, kissed the top of her head, and softly explained, "I had something to take care of after we finished eating, so it took a while."

He noticed the Barbie dolls and smiled, asking, "Ann, did you dress up the dolls again?"

"Yes~" Qin Sui'an's momentary displeasure vanished instantly, and she asked expectantly in her childish voice, "Daddy, do the Barbie dolls look pretty?"

"They look beautiful, even better than before. Ann, you have a great sense of style," Qin Haochen praised generously, making the little one smile with delight.

Seeing that he had spent some time at the Qin household, Zhu Xiulin decided it was time to leave.

Qin Haochen, holding the little one, courteously saw him off to the castle gate.

Qin Sui'an reminded her father, "Daddy, don't forget the painting for Master!"

"Don't worry, Ann. It's already been taken care of," Qin Haochen said with a smile, glad that the little one hadn't forgotten the return gift.
