While Gong Jue was sulking, the little packrat chatted happily with Gu Qiqi as if nothing had happened.
“Big Sister, I heard you say that you wanted to bring me out to play, right? I really want to go out with you!”
Gu Qiqi was a little troubled. “But that’s in the suburbs. It’s a little far from the city. I’m worried that it’ll be a little dangerous…”
However, the little boy blinked his clear grape eyes. “Big Sister, I’m not afraid! I have a robot to protect you! Brother Yun—!”
As the little packrat called out, a mini robot slowly emerged from under the table. Its head and arms shone with a metallic luster. It even lowered its head and bowed to Gu Qiqi.
So it was Brother Yun. Wasn’t he the smart robot that Xiaobei had lent to little boy to play with for a few days?
Gu Qiqi smiled. “Our little boy is getting more and more capable. Even the command robot is so handsome!”
The little boy quickly took the opportunity to beg, “Then bring me there, okay?”
Gu Qiqi sighed. “But I’ve already rejected him. Next time, after this matter blows over, I’ll bring you out to play, okay?”
The little packrat nodded with the look of a child who had been wronged but did not cry.
Gu Qiqi’s heart skipped a beat. Sigh, was she being too cautious?
As he was thinking, her phone rang.
New mail had arrived.
It was actually an email from Professor Brown.
In the email, Professor Brown expressed intense regret. Compared to the indifference of the previous email, this one was slightly agitated—
“Young Lady Qiqi, I actually prepared a surprise for you. I heard that you’ve been asking about your brother’s condition and if there’s a way to help him regain his sight. Coincidentally, I have some useful information here that I believe will be useful to you. It’s a pity that you can’t come…”
It seemed that he really hoped that Gu Qiqi and the little packrat would be able to make it.
This old man was really persistent!
Gu Qiqi sighed, but her heart did not change.
Nothing was more important than the little packrat’s safety. The suburbs were so far away. If anything happened on the way…
Gong Jue pondered for a moment and suddenly said, “Go. There hasn’t been a better breakthrough in Xiaobei’s treatment. If that old man really has any special information, this trip will be worth it!”
Of course, Gu Qiqi was also worried about Xiaobei’s eyesight. However, this was a difficult choice!
She thought for a moment. “Why don’t I go myself? I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
The boy disagreed. “I want to go too!”
He hung onto Gu Qiqi’s body and refused to get down, afraid that she would leave him behind and go out to have fun.
Gong Jue frowned. “Don’t hold her back! Stay at home obediently!”
The little boy pouted. “I’m not a burden. I can protect Big Sister too! I’ve trained with Brother Yun many times. I’m working well with him now. The two of us are the perfect bodyguards!”
Gong Jue was speechless.
Damn it, he was simply an overconfident child. He actually believed he would be a good bodyguard.
“I don’t need your help! Just stay at home!”
“No, I want to stay with Big Sister. You have no right to stop me. You’re bullying a child!”
Seeing the two men arguing again, Gu Qiqi’s head hurt. “Alright, alright. I won’t go then. Stop arguing…”
“No! Xiaobei needs this information!”
“No, you have to go.”
This time, the father and son were in agreement.
The little packrat blinked its big eyes and compromised. “Then let’s go as a family of three!”
Initially, he did not want an old third wheel like his father to disturb his time with Big Sister.
