Chapter 544: Chapter 542: He Reveals the Secrets of His Heart

Yanxi carried Little Orange into the living room, without giving Shi Ying another glance.

Shi Ying stood rooted to the spot, feeling a chill coursing through her veins.

She hadn’t expected such a young girl to be so scheming!

Her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched into fists, wishing she could slap the girl dead.

Soon, the doctor arrived.

After examining Little Orange, it was indeed an allergy.

The doctor prescribed some medicine, “It’s not very serious, Young Master Yan, don’t worry, she will be better after taking the medicine, and she should recover by tomorrow.”

Yanxi nodded.

Little Orange was well-behaved when taking her medicine, not crying or making a fuss, and didn’t need to be coaxed, but what child isn’t afraid of medicine? Her clear, beautiful eyes were misted with shimmering tears, on the brink of falling, which made her look pitifully endearing.

“Daddy, I’m not afraid of the bitterness at all.”

She tilted her head back and finished the medicine Yanxi had given her.

Her obedient and sensible demeanor could melt anyone’s heart.

The doctor suggested Little Orange take a hot bath after her medicine, so Yanxi was about to go upstairs to run the bathwater when Little Orange tugged on his sleeve, “Daddy, I am a girl, and Mommy said my body shouldn’t be seen by boys!”

Yanxi, looking into Little Orange’s large blinking eyes, felt his heart melting.

Although he hadn’t yet conducted a DNA test, he already treated Little Orange as his own daughter.

However, it was understandable that the little girl was afraid and unfamiliar with him, having met him only today.

“Shall I find a nanny to help you bathe?”

Little Orange shook her head and turned to look at Shi Ying, who was coming out of the kitchen, “Can Beautiful Auntie help me bathe?”

Shi Ying’s brows furrowed.

The little girl clearly didn’t like her, yet she was asking her to help her bathe. What was she up to?

Yanxi, fearing that Shi Ying would harm Little Orange again, flashed a wary look in his peach blossom eyes, “She can’t.”

Hearing Yanxi’s words, Shi Ying’s brow furrowed instantly.

Now in his heart, did her position fall below that of the little girl?

“Daddy, the allergy on my face really has nothing to do with Beautiful Auntie, please let her help me bathe!”

Looking into the little girl’s innocent eyes, Yanxi’s heart softened, “Alright then!”

Shi Ying immediately voiced her refusal, “I have no experience in bathing children.”

“Sister Shi Ying, Little Orange’s face is allergic, she doesn’t blame you, and she keeps saying how good you are. It’s just a bath, why are you refusing?”

Shi Ying was indignant.

So now in Yanxi’s eyes, she had become a cold-hearted person?

Not wanting to argue over such an issue, Shi Ying gritted her teeth, “Fine, I’ll help her bathe.”

Little Orange followed Shi Ying upstairs.

The bathtub was already filled with water, and Little Orange stretched out her hand for Shi Ying to help her undress.

Shi Ying stood to one side, ignoring her.

“Child, is it your mommy who sent you to drive a wedge between Yanxi and me?”

Little Orange blinked and didn’t say anything.

“Your mommy is no match for me. Does she think just by sending you she can succeed?”

“Moreover, you’re just a little girl, once I have a son with Yanxi, you…!”

Shi Ying didn’t finish her sentence when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm.

It was as if something sharp had been jabbed into her flesh.

“What did you stab me with?” Shi Ying glared at Little Orange.

Little Orange didn’t respond to her question and suddenly collapsed to the ground, crying loudly.

Hearing the cries, Yanxi strode in quickly.

Seeing Little Orange sitting on the ground crying with Shi Ying keeping a stern face, obviously very angry, Yanxi stepped forward and shoved Shi Ying aside.

“Sister Shi Ying, she’s just a child. What did you do to her?”

Shi Ying’s temples throbbed violently.

She raised her hand, wanting to tell Yanxi that the little girl had stabbed her.

But whatever the girl had used, her arm bore no visible wound.

Shi Ying quickly moved forward, grabbing Little Orange’s wrist, attempting to force her palm open to see what she was holding. However, her actions only angered Yanxi more.

“Sister Shi Ying, you’ve gone too far!”

Without giving Shi Ying a chance to speak, Yanxi picked up Little Orange and stormed off.

Watching his retreating figure, Shi Ying stomped her feet in rage!

Xia Yiwan!

She couldn’t outfight her, and now she had sent a three-year-old girl to deal with her!

Yanxi dared not let Little Orange stay at the beach villa any longer. He started the car and drove away with Little Orange.

He glanced at the beach villa through the rearview mirror.

For the first time, he felt a chill towards Sister Shi Ying!

Little Orange was just a three-year-old child. Why did she have to do that?

She really had changed; she was no longer the Sister Shi Ying he once knew!

Seeing Yanxi frown with an unhappy look, Little Orange blinked her big eyes and said, “Daddy, it’s my fault. I made you argue with Beautiful Auntie!”

Yanxi looked at the sensible Little Orange and a doting smile appeared on his handsome face, “It’s not your fault. It’s hers.”

Innocently, Little Orange asked, “Daddy, is Beautiful Auntie your new girlfriend? Is that why you aren’t with my mommy?”

Yanxi didn’t know how to answer this question.

“Adult matters, I’ll tell you when you grow up.”

Little Orange cocked her head and asked in a babyish voice, “Mommy told me that Beautiful Auntie saved you when you were little. Without Beautiful Auntie, there wouldn’t be a Daddy now, right?”

Yanxi nodded, “Yeah, she saved me when I was a child.”

“Daddy, can you tell me in detail? I’m so curious!”

Yanxi glanced at the rearview mirror at Little Orange who was blinking innocently and looking cute, his thin lips curling up slightly, “It’s all in the past.”

“But I wanna know about when Daddy was little! Beautiful Auntie was so young, how did she save you?”

Yanxi became lost in his memories.

“Daddy was only seven or eight years old that year, visiting relatives in Li City with the family. I ran out to play and accidentally fell into the river. She jumped in and saved me.”

Back then he couldn’t swim and nearly drowned in the water.

As his consciousness faded in and out, suddenly a small figure swam towards him.

When he came to, what he saw was Sister Shi Ying.

Little Orange pressed the record button on her watch, capturing Scum Uncle’s words, and sent it to her mommy’s cell phone when Scum Uncle wasn’t looking.

Ming Yao received the recording from Little Orange and hurriedly called Xia Yiwan to listen together.

Yesterday, when Xia Yiwan heard that Little Orange wanted to help her gather information, she still found it hard to believe.

After all, a three-year-old child, if taken by Yanxi to see Shi Ying, what if something dangerous happened?

But Yaoyao, calm and composed, told her that Little Orange was smart and clever, difficult for an ordinary person to harm.

Ming Yao played back the recording.

Hearing about the childhood connection between Yanxi and Shi Ying, Xia Yiwan’s slender eyebrows immediately knitted together.
