A baby showered with gifts

Fu Yunting was still worried, so he called a doctor over to examine them.

The doctor said, "The little one's health has recovered very well."

He could hardly believe it. Her body had been so depleted and damaged, yet she had recovered this well in such a short time.

Although she still looked a little frail, as long as she ate properly, she would put on weight.

"What have you been feeding her?"

Even he envied this ability to heal.

Fu Yunting said, "Feeding her? Just some supplements and regular meals."

"Check me again, too."

A few minutes later, the doctor said, "You're as strong as an ox."

Fu Yunting sucked in a breath. "That's not right."

The doctor said, "???"

"All right, you're done here."

He would have to wait until Fifth Uncle came back to take another look.

After the doctor left, Fu Yunting asked Qin Yan, "Sweetie, how about we stop keeping that fish? It's so ugly. I'll buy you a pretty one."

Qin Yan looked at him pleadingly without saying a word, but she looked as though she was about to cry, utterly pitiful.

Fu Yunting couldn't take it. "Fine, fine, we'll keep it. We'll keep it."

"But we can't put it in your room. I'll have someone bring over a big fish tank and make it really pretty. We'll put the fish in there and give it a room of its own, okay?"

Qin Yan pressed her little lips together and nodded.

She cautiously glanced at her uncle and asked in a tiny voice.

"Uncle, am I causing trouble?"

"We can keep it outside."

She would secretly keep it outside.

A warm palm settled on her head.

"What are you thinking so much for? Let's wait until your fifth uncle gets back."

"But let's agree on this first. If that fish is harmful to us, we can't keep it anymore."

"Do you know the story of The Farmer and the Snake? It's about a farmer who saved a snake..."

Fu Yunting handed the matters of the large bathtub and clearing out a room for the fish straight over to the butler.

Then he took Qin Yan to work again.

When he got busy, he left her with Secretary Lin.

Qin Yan was still very shy, looking socially anxious and unaccustomed to dealing with lots of people.

But she was very willing to play with animals.

She neither cried nor fussed. Sometimes she could entertain herself just by looking at flowers or ants. She was incredibly easy to look after.

With so many naughty children around these days, a pretty little darling this sweet and gentle was practically everyone's dream baby.

And so, whenever Qin Yan encountered someone at the company, she would inexplicably end up with something pressed into her hands.

There were little toys, snacks, and pretty flowers.

But she didn't know any of those people.

Qin Yan: ???????

After having another little fluffy pom-pom keychain pressed into her hands, Qin Yan looked at the person in bewilderment.

"Thank you, miss."

Although she didn't know her, the little one still thanked her so sweetly and politely.

"So sweet. So, so sweet..."

The woman let out a string of strange chuckles.

It frightened the timid little one into shrinking behind Secretary Lin, though she secretly peeked her head out to look.

Secretary Lin gave the woman a smack.

"Act normal, girl. You're scaring the baby."

The woman straightened up and coughed.

"Sorry, sweetheart. You're just so pretty, like a beautiful, soft little snow-white kitten. I couldn't control myself."

Who could understand someone like her, who adored fluffy things and cute things? Faced with a little cutie like this baby, she simply couldn't help herself.

Qin Yan didn't quite understand. She was clearly a person, so why did the woman say she looked like a kitten?

But she could sense her kindness. She was complimenting her, right?

So the pretty little darling gave her a soft, sweet smile.

"Thank you, miss."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Can I squish your cheeks and give you a hug...?"

Secretary Lin took Qin Yan away at once.

"Come on, come on. Sweetheart, let's stay away from that strange woman."

Not understanding why, Qin Yan nodded blankly.

But she didn't forget to turn back and wave goodbye to the woman.

The woman bit her finger. "Damn it, why isn't she my daughter!"

If she were her baby, her wish of having a beautiful, real-life doll would come true. She could dress her up however she liked, to her heart's content!

Qin Yan received lots of things and put them all in her uncle's office.

She found a little bottle for the flowers and put them in water.

She really was a kind, good little darling.

Her uncle hadn't returned yet, so Qin Yan went to see the calico Lucky Cat.

A tiny little bundle, she crouched in front of the cage, holding a cat treat tube and patiently feeding the cat a little at a time.

"You have to eat properly so you can be nice and healthy."

"Yanyan has been eating properly."

"The doctor even praised me."

The little one spoke to Calico Cat in her sweet, babyish voice.

Even Secretary Lin could clearly sense that Calico Cat seemed to be in a good mood.

Doctor Song came over and said, "This cat hasn't eaten since the operation. It hasn't touched the cat food over there, and it wouldn't eat the tube treats or anything else we offered, either. I didn't expect it to trust you so much."

He had been struggling with what to do.

He hadn't expected even this cat to judge people by their looks!

Qin Yan stayed with Calico Cat for quite a while, and stray cats came running over during that time, too.

They had all come to play with Qin Yan.

It wasn't until Fu Yunting called her children's watch.

Only then did Qin Yan say goodbye to the cats and return to the company with Secretary Lin.

By now, practically everyone in the company knew she was Fu Yunting's niece.

Actually, it wasn't just the company. Because of the post Fu Yunting had made on his Moments last night, the entire wealthy social circle now knew.

Actually, it wasn’t just the company; because of Fu Yunting’s social media post last night, the entire circle of wealthy families knows about it now.

The Shen Family was also the family of Qin Yan's biological father.

Back then, because Fu Qinghuan had married into the Shen Family, the Fu Family's help had elevated them from an insignificant minor family to a third-tier prominent family in one leap.

But later, also because of Fu Qinghuan, the Fu Family had suppressed them, and their family company had nearly gone bankrupt.

Because of Fu Qinghuan's death, their son had entered a Buddhist monastery and no longer concerned himself with the Shen Family.

Their family now relied on their daughter to get by.

The elderly Shen couple were also shocked when they heard the news about Qin Yan from somewhere.

"Didn't Fu Qinghuan give birth to a stillborn back then?"

Old Madam Shen's voice was shrill. She hated the Fu Family fiercely.

Because of the Fu Family, her perfectly fine, outstanding son was gone, and the company had gone under, too.

Their family had moved from a large villa into this tiny apartment. They couldn't even afford servants or a nanny, and she had to handle all the household food and supplies herself.

Accustomed to a life of wealth, she felt as though every day of her current life was a nightmare. In just a few short years, the once-wealthy lady had become an old woman with an aged face.

Old Master Shen said, "Maybe it's one of their relatives' children."

At the mention of the Fu Family, Old Madam Shen immediately began cursing viciously.

"And here I thought they treated that bitch Fu Qinghuan so well. Now that she's dead, haven't they gone and started raising someone else's child anyway? The Fu Family are all rabid dogs. I think they all have antisocial personality disorder. They should be locked up..."

Old Master Shen grew impatient listening to her. "Enough. I've told you not to provoke the Fu Family. I told you back then to treat Fu Qinghuan better. Now you know to complain, but what were you doing before? That rotten idea was yours."
