Chapter 116: Family Of Four

Qiu Tong did not answer his question. She just poured a cup of water for Qiu Xingyuan and quietly looked into his eyes.

Qiu Xingyuan held the glass cup in his hand and bit his thin lips as he said, “I didn’t know about the allergic reaction to locust pesticide, but it’s too late to change the formula now.”

“This pesticide incident was my mistake…”

Qiu Tong listened to him speak a little longer before suddenly leaning over and reaching out to him.

Qiu Xingyuan’s eyes flickered. He raised his little face stubbornly and refused to dodge. He would face whatever comes!

The hand that he thought would land on his face paused in the air for a moment before landing on his head.

Qiu Tong rubbed the top of his head. When she saw Qiu Xingyuan’s furious expression, she burst out laughing. “The locust pesticide has a suppressive effect on locusts.”

“It’s your first time developing a pesticide, so it’s normal that you weren’t able to consider every aspect of the formula thoroughly. Don’t blame yourself too much.”

Qiu Xingyuan stood rooted to the ground in shock. He did not expect Qiu Tong to do this. He stared blankly at her, forgetting to dodge her hand.

“You don’t blame me?”

Qiu Xingyuan was frowning. Qiu Tong shook her head in surprise and asked, “Why should I blame you?”

“You must have been frightened by the chaotic crowd earlier. This matter is not something you can solve. Mommy will settle it!”

“Don’t worry. Mommy is here. Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up!”

Qiu Tong’s body emitted a warm glow, causing Qiu Xingyuan to be a little stunned.

Qiu Tong hugged him. She patted Qiu Xingyuan’s back and said softly, “You’ve already done very well.”

At this moment, Qiu Xingyuan felt a twinge in his nose. He endured the urge to nestle in Qiu Tong’s arms and bury his face in her neck.

Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu were secretly watching the scene at the dining table. When they saw what was happening, they ran over jealously and threw themselves into Qiu Tong’s arms.

Little Yu muttered in a childish voice, “Mommy is biased. Little Yu wants a hug too!”

Qiu Xingqiao squeezed his head into Qiu Tong’s arms. He was silent, but his body language showed that he was extremely reliant and trusting of her.

Qiu Tong looked down at the three children in her arms and couldn’t help smiling.

It looked like these children’s attitude towards her had improved a lot!

The family of four huddled together in the living room. Qiu Xingyuan said awkwardly, “But the allergic reaction incident has blown up. What can you do?”

Qiu Tong patted his head. “It’s not your place to worry about these adult matters!”

In the corner, Ye Luan pushed open the door of the bedroom and quietly looked at them. He knew what had happened at the kindergarten.

He lowered his head hesitantly and touched the area at his waist. His eyes flickered with dilemma, but he eventually dropped his hand and quietly closed the door.

Ye Luan sat by the bed and lifted his shirt to look at the chip at his waist.

This was what those people chasing after him wanted!

He had known from the beginning that there was a chip in his skin that contained information about the human modification plan.

If Auntie Qiu obtained this information and used it, the farmers would no longer be afraid of the locust pesticide. They would no longer show symptoms of allergy.

Auntie Qiu had been very good to him. He should have helped the Qiu family…

However, before he went to prison, his father had warned him not to hand the chip over to anyone else. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble!

Ye Luan clenched his fists and rubbed the bed frame gently. He quietly listened to the sounds outside the door and frowned.

In the living room, Qiu Tong coaxed the children to sleep. She returned to her room and took out her phone. She looked at the number in her contact list and dialed.

A few days ago, when Song Yan let her have the sniper rifle in the black market, they had also exchanged contact information.

Beep beep beep—

The phone rang for two seconds before it was answered. “Can we meet soon?”

The signal paused for a few seconds. Qiu Tong looked at the notification on the phone and frowned. “Hello?”

In front of the computer screen, Song Yan paused the audio recording and casually placed his headset aside.

He asked softly, “What’s the matter?”

“I heard that some farmers caused trouble outside the kindergarten. Do you need my help?”

“If you want, I can step out and prove Qiu Xingyuan’s innocence. To show the public that there is no problem with the formula of the locust pesticide.”

Song Yan’s tone was gentle and concerned. He had disrupted Qiu Tong’s prepared speech. She cleared her throat awkwardly. “You’re quite thoughtful, but Chief Officer Fang’s appearance has already aroused the hostility of the farmers.”

“I won’t trouble you with this matter.”
