CHAPTER 1041: CHAPTER 1039: THERE IS A WAY (1)

"How did you get here?"

Assistant Zhang’s voice suddenly became respectful and polite.

"I came to see Xiaoxiao; she hasn’t been home for two days."

After a few seconds, a gentle and soft voice came through from Assistant Zhang’s side.

It was a voice that Han Jingnian, Xia Wan’an, and Xie Lin were all familiar with—Han Qingqing’s voice.

"Oh, Xiaoxiao is inside, madam, please come in." Assistant Zhang stepped aside to let Han Qingqing into the house respectfully, then continued speaking into the phone with Han Jingnian: "President Han, the miss has arrived, I will hang up now."

Before Han Jingnian on the other end could react, Han Qingqing spoke again: "Jingnian? Are you calling him?"

Assistant Zhang: "Yes, miss, do you have anything to say to President Han?"

The next second, the mobile phone was in Han Qingqing’s hand: "Jingnian, I heard from mom that you were hospitalized, how is your health now?"

Han Jingnian: "It’s nothing serious."

Han Qingqing: "That’s good to hear; I just came to check on Xiaoxiao, take care of yourself."

Han Jingnian: "Yes."

"..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Han Qingqing, Han Jingnian didn’t wait for the phone to be returned to Assistant Zhang and hung up the call directly.

"Madam, Xiaoxiao is inside, let me push you over."

After Han Qingqing said "thank you" with a light smile, Assistant Zhang started pushing her wheelchair toward the bedroom.

It’s been so long, and yet Han Yixiao is still hiding in the closet and hasn’t come out.

"Madam, there was a bit of a special situation just now, Xiaoxiao might have been scared, I will go check on her..." As Assistant Zhang spoke, he walked over to the closet, pulling open the door.

Seeing the light come in, Han Yixiao burrowed further into the pile of clothes.

Seeing her startle like a frightened bird, Assistant Zhang felt a habitual twinge of pain in his heart, then he crouched down, speaking kindly to Han Yixiao: "Xiaoxiao, it’s me, it’s alright now, come out..."

When Han Yixiao heard Assistant Zhang’s voice, her trembling body finally calmed down a bit. She peeked through the clothes gap, and upon seeing it was indeed Assistant Zhang, she then crawled out from the pile of clothes.

Assistant Zhang helped her up and quickly tidied up her messy long hair before pulling her up to stand: "Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

Han Yixiao looked up with her big black eyes and shook her head at Assistant Zhang.

"That’s good," said Assistant Zhang as he wiped away a tear on Han Yixiao’s face with his fingertip, then led her towards Han Qingqing who was waiting nearby: "Xiaoxiao, madam is here to see you..."

When Han Yixiao heard this, she finally noticed Han Qingqing; her steps following Assistant Zhang involuntarily hesitated as she dropped her head like a child who had made a mistake.

Han Qingqing stared at Han Yixiao, who was silent and hanging her head for a while, then said, "Xiaoxiao, I’ve come to take you home..."

Han Yixiao shook her head and hid behind Assistant Zhang, clutching his clothes tightly, refusing to let go.

"Xiaoxiao, as a girl, staying at an unmarried man’s home like this, what kind of behavior is that? Come home with mom." Although Han Qingqing’s voice remained gentle and delicate, the tone carried an undeniable firmness.

Han Yixiao clutched Assistant Zhang’s clothes even tighter, hiding completely behind him.
