A domineering CEO falls in love with me, an unmarried mother of seven!

Chapter 105 I Want to Protect Mommy

At this moment, the butler came out of the kitchen, bowed slightly, and said to everyone, "Master and Madam, dinner is ready, you may dine now."

Tan Zhengchu glanced at Su Yingxue, then at Qibao who was playing with the kitten, and said to the housekeeper, "You take the old lady and the other children to eat first. My wife and I have something to discuss with Qibao."

Su Yingxue seemed to understand Tan Zhengchu's meaning, nodded, and said to the housekeeper, "Let's go, let the old lady and the others go eat first, don't let the children go hungry."

The maid tiptoed to the study door and knocked.

After hearing Mrs. Tan's response, he opened the door and said, "Grandma, dinner is ready. You can come and eat now."

Grandma Tan was sitting on the sofa making a phone call, smiling and nodding to the maid.

She said into the phone, "Sister Cheng, I was just thinking of bringing my great-grandchildren to visit you."

They're so mischievous; they get me into all sorts of funny situations every day.

After hanging up the phone, Grandma Tan asked the maid, "Have the children all returned?"

The maid replied, "Except for Miss Qibao, the other six children have also returned."

Grandma Tan stood up, her face beaming with a loving smile, and said as she walked, "These children are the apple of my eye."

Seeing them jumping and skipping around every day makes me happy.

I need to go check on them; I hope they're not tired from school.

She walked briskly toward the children's room, her eyes filled with love for them.

Su Yingxue quickly walked to Qibao's side, tenderly pulled Qibao into her arms, and carefully checked her for any injuries.

She cupped Qibao's little face in her hands and asked gently, "Qibao, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Were you frightened today?"

Qibao shook his head and said with a smile, "Mommy, I'm fine, my head just hurts a little, but it's much better now."

Su Yingxue hugged Qibao tightly again, tears welling up in her eyes: "Baby, I'm so glad you're alright. What would Mommy have done if something had happened to you?"

Su Yingxue and Qibao sat together beside the cat's bed.

Bao gently stroked the kitten, murmuring, "Little Snow White, how was your day? Did you miss me?"

Su Yingxue asked curiously, "Qibao, is this kitten called Little Snow White? That's a lovely name."

Qibao looked up, her eyes sparkling: "Yes, Mommy, this is the name I gave it. It was very well-behaved today."

Su Yingxue reached out and stroked the kitten, feeling its soft fur, and said with a smile, "The name 'Little Snow White' suits it very well, and it looks very safe and secure."

Su Yingxue squatted down, looked at Qibao tenderly, gently took her little hand, and asked with concern in her eyes, "Qibao, baby, did you see a handsome uncle when you were at the hospital today?"

Qibao blinked, her big eyes sparkling.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and it was clear that she was flustered. How did Mommy know about this?

Qibao pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, I saw him."

Su Yingxue's heart jumped. She gripped Qibao's hand tightly, her voice urgent: "Did he do anything to you? Did he say anything strange to you? Or did anything make you feel uncomfortable?"

Qibao shook his head, still not daring to look Su Yingxue in the eye: "No, Mommy, he didn't do anything to me, we didn't talk."

Qibao was actually terrified, and she didn't dare tell her mother the truth.

Her heart was pounding like a drum, echoing in her ears.

She knew that if she told her mother about eating and sharing cake with Zhao Dakuang, and about exchanging business cards, she would be in trouble.

Mommy will definitely be very worried, and may even be very angry.

She didn't want to see her mother like this, and she didn't want her mother to worry about her.

Qibao silently told himself, "I can't tell her. I have to protect Mommy and not let her know about this."

If Mommy finds out, she definitely won't be able to sleep well at night; she'll be worried about me constantly.

I'm all grown up now. I can protect myself. I don't want Mommy to suffer like this.

Her little hands unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, crumpling it into a mess, and her eyes darted around in a panic.

She just didn't dare to look Su Yingxue in the eye, afraid that her mother would see something in her eyes.

Su Yingxue looked at Qibao and felt that she seemed to be hiding something from her.

But not wanting to press the child for answers, she held Qibao in her arms and whispered, "Baby, if anything bad happens, you must tell Mommy, and Mommy will protect you."

Qibao nodded in Su Yingxue's arms and whispered, "I understand, Mommy."

Then, Qibao looked up and hurriedly explained, "Mommy, no. I was just sitting in the car with him, we didn't talk, and I didn't eat anything from him."

Su Yingxue hugged Qibao tightly, gently stroking her hair, and asked, "Did he say anything else to you?"

Qibao shook his head.

Su Yingxue's heart tightened suddenly, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind.

Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were full of worry, and all sorts of terrifying scenarios kept flashing through her mind.

She wondered why Zhao Da Kuang was standing next to Qi Bao.

What was his purpose in approaching Qibao?

Could it be that they are enemies of their family, trying to use Shippo to threaten them?

Su Yingxue became more and more frightened the more she thought about it.

Her emotions suddenly surged, a flash of anger crossing her eyes: "If that guy dares to bully you, Mommy will definitely not let him get away with it!"

Qibao's heart was pounding like a rabbit's.

Her small hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her eyes darting around in a panic, unable to meet Su Yingxue's gaze.

She kept telling herself, "I can't tell, I can't let Mommy worry."

I'll pretend nothing happened, that way Mommy won't be so scared.

Dinner time arrived, and the table was laden with delicious dishes as the family sat together.

Qibao sat down next to Grandma Tan, looking at her with bright eyes, and asked with concern, "Grandma, did you take your medicine properly today?"

As Qibao spoke, she gently tugged at Grandma Tan's arm with her little hand, shook it, and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandma, you must take your medicine on time."

That way, we'll stay healthy and we can play together all the time.

Her eyes were filled with innocent concern; she looked absolutely adorable.

Grandma Tan smiled and patted Qibao's head, her eyes full of love: "Ever since you scolded me, my little darling, Grandma has been taking her medicine on time every day."

Upon hearing this, Qibao smiled happily, revealing two adorable dimples.
