Mrs. Qin was holding Shi Mianmian's little backpack behind her, having just picked Mianmian up from kindergarten.
Just as they were walking back near Kaixing Mansion, Shi Mianmian, who had been chattering away while holding her hand all along the way, suddenly turned and ran towards the flower bed.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qin quickly followed: "Sir, do you need help?"
When the child came over to hold his hand, Mr. Jing instinctively lingered his gaze on the child's face for a moment. An inexplicable flash of familiarity passed through him, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he rarely left the Jing Family's gates and only ventured out when urgent matters required it, leaving him no time to meet such small children.
Hearing the voice, Mr. Jing glanced up at the woman coming over with the backpack: "I'm fine, I am indeed tired from walking and was planning to sit for a moment, but this child said it's chilly on the flower bed, so I won't sit."
