"Not ready yet?"
Just then, a man in a red and black apron walked out. He had a square face, sun-kissed skin, and a gentle demeanor that made him seem simple and honest.
Upon emerging, his eyes scanned the area as if searching for something. He let out a sigh of relief when he spotted Jiang Rou by the corner.
The commotion here attracted Lan Qianqian and the other person. However, as Lan Qianqian turned her head, her body suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Mohan noticed immediately.
"Uncle Ming…"
Lan Qianqian whispered.
Hearing someone call him, the man also turned his head, his expression immediately one of confusion, "You are…"
"Qianqian."
They looked at each other in silence. Then, the man excitedly walked forward, "Are you Qian yatou?"
"Mm."
Hearing the voices, Jiang Rou walked over, "What's wrong, Minghui?"
The happiness on the man's face had not yet faded. "I told you, when I was young, I adopted a child, this is that child!"
Hearing this, Xuan Mohan immediately understood why his wife had reacted that way. It seemed fate was truly a wondrous thing. They had been looking for this person for a long time without success, and now they had stumbled upon him themselves.
"So we're all family. Please, everyone, have a seat. We won't be open for business today. Let's have a good chat…"
Jiang Rou also felt that it was a good day, so she hung a "Business Suspended" sign by the door.
…
This outing made Lan Qianqian feel genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart. It was as if she had gained two more family members.
Even on their way back, the smile on her face never disappeared.
"It's just that Aunt Shuang is gone…"
Seeing the young woman's joyous expression, Xuan Mohan truly couldn't bear to see her looking sad.
"Didn't you see him always following behind Jiang Rou?"
As a man himself, he naturally understood the man's feelings.
"And when Jiang Rou first arrived, he was a fisherman who stayed by the docks for a long time. Now that they are working together, he must have been waiting for Jiang Rou."
Lan Qianqian's eyes lit up, she had also thought of something.
"I really hope Auntie can accept Uncle Ming sooner. Then there will be someone to look after them and their son."
"And one more thing…"
Xuan Mohan looked at his wife's focused gaze with satisfaction. She had neglected him too much today.
"Those people you injured back then were all saved by me, and that little girl who fell into the water was also rescued by your parents in time."
All he wanted was to see his little woman carefree and happy.
As expected, he saw the light in his young woman's eyes reach its peak in an instant. That dazzling aurora shone directly into his heart.
Lan Qianqian's heart swelled with emotion. She threw herself into Xuan Mohan's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Xuan Mohan… thank you…"
Why was this man so good? So good that she felt that doing anything for him was worth it.
"Then…"
Xuan Mohan embraced her, his deep, magnetic voice softly whispering in her ear, "Shall we have a baby?"
She would be the crystallization of their love and would make their lives complete.
"Okay."
This time, Lan Qianqian answered without hesitation. She had also wanted to have a child with the person she loved, to watch him grow day by day, and it would be a very happy thing.
"Heh heh~ Then my dear will have to work hard…"
That night, Lan Qianqian learned what 'work hard' meant. She seriously suspected that Xuan Mohan was taking advantage of her under the guise of having a baby…
Time flew by…
Xuan Mohan no longer had the leisure time to accompany his wife and children. He still went out early and returned late every day.
Based on the information provided by Jian Qi and others, as well as some evidence, he still needed to collect a lot of data.
And Ke Ye was indeed in that wealthy family's home, but in a stone chamber. Before Shui Yuan could arrive, he had already moved his base.
At this moment, he was holed up in a dilapidated, narrow little house.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
His phone rang. He didn't want to answer, but at the last ring, he threw down the wine bottle in his hand and picked it up.
"Hello…" his voice carried a hint of hazy drunkenness.
"Why haven't you acted yet?! I want you to kill that woman!"
Because of this woman's unexpected identity, he was greatly restricted. If so many people attacked him, he wouldn't be able to handle it!
Since this woman had so many people protecting her, if he couldn't have her, he couldn't let her exist!
And what disappointed him was his son. He had spared his life for this purpose, and later he could push everything onto him…
As a result, he hadn't made any move. According to the news they received, he was holed up somewhere all day doing nothing. He might as well die!
Ke Ye sneered, his fingertips rubbing against the object in his palm, as if he hadn't heard him speak.
The hairpin was still as beautiful as ever, but why did it sting his eyes so much now?
The hairpin was a pair, but where was the person…
What had he done…
"You just need to pass on her physical condition to some people, and they will take care of it themselves!"
…
Did his father want him to kill that little girl?
How could he… how could he…
He liked that girl so much. He had been looking for her. She was the reason he kept living…
But it seemed he had killed the little girl in his heart himself. Why?
Ke Ye knocked over the wine bottle beside him, casually lying down, sleeping as if the world had ended.
Some say that excessive sleepiness is a loneliness that permeates to the bone. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to sleep…
…
On this day, the four most eligible bachelors in S City gathered together. Normanis sat beside them, along with the Yao Cheng and Yao Ze brothers.
They exchanged the information they had recently collected and discussed their views.
"So you guys are good. Now you do anything without involving me, right?"
She was upstairs, and they didn't call her?
Everyone's gaze inadvertently glanced at Xuan Mohan. The latter calmly got up to greet his little wife.
"Why didn't you sleep in more today?"
She had been too busy following them around these past few days, or something like that. She always felt a little tired and couldn't wake up in the morning. He hadn't let Aunt Wang wake her for meals.
Lan Qianqian glared at him and then sat down on the sofa.
Xuan Mohan rubbed his nose and said nothing. Why did he feel that her temper was also a bit unstable…
"Duoduo, if you're tired, go upstairs and sleep. We have so many people here."
Normanis doted on his daughter. If she hadn't insisted on doing something, he probably would have let her go shopping or traveling with her mother.
After this matter was resolved, he would take his wife and daughter on a trip to make up for past regrets.
"Dad, it's okay. It's too boring at home."
How could she hide from the wind and rain at home? She knew very well how much effort they had put in to protect her and how hard they had worked to eliminate potential dangers.
Even the old man, at his age, was still researching day and night. How could she do nothing?
"When this is over, Duoduo, come back to A City with us. Mom has been thinking about you."
Yao Cheng smiled at his niece, not treating her as an outsider at all.
"That's right, that's right. Second Uncle will take you back. They've prepared a lot of things for you at home, which made me so envious…"
Yao Ze followed up enthusiastically, as if he were about to give her a big hug. It was a pity that a certain wolf was watching too closely…
Indeed, as he was thinking this, Xuan Mohan's vigilant gaze shot over, not hiding its aggression.
Was he afraid?
Only if Xuan Mohan no longer intended to marry their girl…
Xuan Mohan understood his meaning in his eyes and immediately pulled his little woman closer, afraid she would be snatched away if he wasn't careful.
