"SIGH, thanks a lot, I will see which old bag has the courage to say such a thing."
Old Chu sighed in relief seeing Ye Qian's reaction.
He was afraid that Ye Qian would complain to Little Qiqi about him and ask her to not get along with him.
And that was not something he could imagine.
One had to know that he, Old Chu was a wrestler of his time and had even ranked top 10 among the whole province.
And even if he was someone who would easily lose his temper at small things, it was him who was afraid thinking what would happen if Ye Qian were to complain about him to Little Qiqi.
For him, if Little Qiqi were to not talk to him like before and play along with him, he would really be sad.
And knowing how they might be feeling, Ye Qian also didn't have the heart to get angry at them.
And even if he were to get angry, there was actually no reason for him too.
And that was due to their special behaviours that Ye Qian even found quite amusing.
Of course, he knew that although these old men would have been cursing him, there was no way that anyone of them would have ever talked bad about him in front of Little Qiqi.
And that was because they didn't want to hurt the feelings of the little girl.
One had to know that according to Little Qiqi, her Papa had promised to take care of her.
And she knew that for taking care of her, her Papa had to return.
And even if he was not going to return or had really died in an accident, no one would want to break the small belief of a little girl since it would shatter the little girl's heart.
It had to be known that once a child was to know that what they had been believing for so long and had complete faith upon was all a lie and there was no such thing that would happen.
Then their little heart would break.
And it was especially true for Little Qiqi who had a very simple belief and that was that her father would come back to her and her mother since he had promised to take care of them.
And no matter what, this would hurt her and devastate her if she were to hear that what she had been believing for all this long was a lie and her Papa would never come back to her.
Even if Ye Qian were to come back but Little Qiqi had known that what she believed was a lie then the little girl would not be like what she was like now.
Ye Qian waved his hand and then glanced at the window.
His brows raised up seeing that the sun had already set and it had started to turn dark.
Unknown to him, they had been here for more than 2 hours by now.
"Are you old guys done, or do you want to play those board games even more?"
Just as Ye Qian was about to turn to look for Little Qiqi and Little Jia and go back home, he heard a voice behind him.
"Ohh well, why don't you just call him to stay along with you old men?"
With a sarcastic tone, Grandma Xue continued.
Meanwhile, the ole men were about to say something when they heard Grandma Xue's words.
"Ohh, that's a really nice idea, I don't think they would have any problem, in fact, we also have a lot of rooms in the building."
A few had their eyes shining as they heard the suggestion.
But it hit them a bit late that it was not a suggestion but rather sarcasm.
'These old fools, who would believe that they were cursing this young man a week ago and now they are like close buddies.'
Grandma Xue rolled her eyes along with the other ladies.
"AHEM"
"AHEM"
"Ahh, Miss Xue, we are bad here, we are sorry for making him stay with us."
Finally understanding that it was sarcasm, the old men cleared their throats in embarrassment.
Meanwhile, sweet giggles were heard and Little Qiqi and Little Jia poked their heads out of the group of ladies.
"Hehe, Grandpa, you are so dumb, how can you not understand that Grandma Xue was scolding you?"
Little Qiqi giggled and then walked to Old Zuo.
"Grandpa Zuo, you are a doctor right?"
"Hmm, yes, I indeed am."
"Did you get hurt or ill, tell me."
Old Zuo nodded and then placed the back of his palm on the little girl's forehead to check her body temperature.
"Hehe, no Grandpa, Qiqi is very healthy, Qiqi wanted to tell you that Qiqi's Papa is also a doctor."
The little girl shook her head and said with a smile.
"Ohh, how so?"
"Hehe, Papa helped Qiqi's friends to get better when she was ill, so Papa is also a doctor, but not like Grandpa Zuo."
"Ohh!"
Old Zuo nodded and then looked at Ye Qian.
Although he didn't really know if Ye Qian was a doctor or not, but since Little Qiqi said so he thought that he might be.
Meanwhile, Ye Qian's phone rang.
He fished it out of his pocket and noticed that it was Yuan Meng.
Upon seeing the cute photo of Yuan Meng and Ye Qian together that Yuan Meng had taken with her phone, a wide smile appeared on Grandma Xue's face as she pointed to the other ladies.
They also grinned knowing what she meant and nodded.
'The two had gotten close, it's better.'
Meanwhile, Little Qiqi also took a peek at the phone and saw her Mumma's photo along with her Papa.
"Wow, Papa took so good photo with Mumma, when will Papa take a photo of Qiqi."
The little girl pouted in annoyance.
Hearing her words as if she had gotten jealous, Little Jia and the other elderly couldn't help but laugh.
