Qin Yan was considerably more awake now. She ran outside with quick little steps and saw several elderly men crowding around her grandfather.
She knew most of them.
"Grandpa Xie, Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Bai..."
She greeted each of them in her soft little voice.
The elderly men's eyes lit up at the sight of her.
"Little Yanyan, your Grandpa Xie came to see you! Come here, look at the present I brought you."
Another elderly man hurried over. "Little Yanyan, did you miss Grandpa Gu? Look what I brought you-the latest model of children's car. You can drive it around!"
"Little Yanyan..."
And so, within just a few minutes, Qin Yan received a whole pile of presents.
She blinked, looking a little dazed.
Gu Lin came over too, flashing a toothy grin.
"Little Yanyan, look at the chocolates and candy I brought you."
Qin Yan thanked him in her babyish voice.
Old Master Fu rolled his eyes at them.
"It's not that we won't give you any. We only have so many cats and dogs."
Even counting every last one, there were only about twenty.
Oh, that did not include the little ones born this year.
Old Master Fu was quite attached to these cats and dogs now, too.
"Even if I agreed to lend them to you, there wouldn't be enough to go around."
Everyone was speechless. What did he mean, lend? They wanted to buy them.

Having them at home would make them feel so safe.
Old Master Fu said, "Besides, our Yanyan raised all these cats and dogs. We'd have to get her approval, no matter what."
Me? Qin Yan thought.
Seeing everyone turn their eyes
