"Jie Jingsi, Xiao Duo is your biological niece, which makes her mine, too. Even if you asked me to turn a blind eye, could I really be that cruel? Even if Gao Yang hadn't come to me for help, I would have racked my brains for a way to save Xiao Duo the moment I learned she was abducted by human traffickers," Qin Mei declared with a righteous air, making no secret of her deep affection for the little girl.
"Qin Mei," Jie Jinghun said, his eyes widening in shock. He wondered where this deep bond came from. Sure, the two of them hit it off well, and Xiao Duo loved clinging to her, but they had never spent every waking moment together to build such profound feelings.
"Thank you," Jie Jingchen said, both grateful and relieved.
