Qin Lan refusing to eat or drink was also quite worrying.
From time to time, she would mutter the little one's name with tears welling up in her eyes.
Qin Xianglian could not bear to watch it anymore, but she still could not tell her younger sister about the little one's uniqueness.
"Little sis, get up and eat something. We aren't lying to you. Qianqian's fine, she's probably just playing somewhere right now."
"Sis... I was wrong."
"Don't cry. Sis knows you didn't mean to scold Qianqian, and you shouldn't treat yourself like this, okay?" Qin Xianglian hugged Qin Lan and patted her back to comfort her, just like when they were children.
"Is there any news about her now? And does he know?"
Qin Lan's nose was red from crying.
"Him? You mean Ling Yun? He definitely knows. Like I said, Qianqian is fine. If anything were wrong, he would've come looking for you by now, wouldn't he?"
Nothing could be kept from Ling Yun, and Qin Xianglian was well aware of that!
"Stop lying to me. I'm not a kid, and you guys didn't tell Ling Yun, did you? Get me my phone, I want to tell him, no matter what he—"
With that, Qin Lan stubbornly insisted on taking her phone and dialed that number she hadn't contacted in a long time.
A "hello" from Ling Yun came from the other end, while Qin Lan choked up and slowly broke down in tears.
"Hello... Speak!"
"I... I'm sorry... Sob, sob..."
Qin Xianglian said, "Ling Yun, just tell Little Sis where Qianqian is. Don't let her worry so much."
Ling Yun: "..."
"Ling Yun... I'm sorry, Qianqian she... she..."
"Qianqian is fine. She went to Magic City and she's very happy, so you don't need to blame yourself.
