Chapter 405: Chapter 404: Stay Here Tonight
Seeing his little expression, Lan Shan’s heart ached, and she reached out to hold him in her arms. Jingxi leaned against her chest, his body twitching slightly.
She understood that the little guy was crying, but he didn’t make a sound... After a while, more than half of Lan Shan’s sleeve was wet, yet she didn’t mind at all and gently patted the little guy’s back, trying to comfort him.
Gong Shaoyu sat to the side, deep in thought, his eyes fixed in one direction.
Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, startling Lan Shan, who looked at him puzzled and asked, "Brother Gong, what’s wrong with you?"
Gong Shaoyu stood there stiffly for a long time before speaking, "Beichen Rui doesn’t have the ability to protect Xinluo."
Upon hearing this, Lan Shan was stunned, and the little guy in her arms trembled upon hearing these words, stopping his crying.
Only to see Gong Shaoyu speak again, "I originally thought he could protect Xinluo, but now it seems I overestimated him."
Upon hearing his words, Lan Shan understood that he wanted to take Xinluo and the others away again. Just as she was about to speak, the little guy in her arms moved.
Jingxi emerged from her arms, stood on the ground, wiped his eyes with a small hand, and then walked over to Gong Shaoyu, looking up at him.
"Shaoyu Dad, I know you’re worried about Mommy, but don’t say that about Daddy, okay? Daddy would never abandon Mommy."
Upon hearing this, Gong Shaoyu felt a mix of emotions. It hadn’t been long since he returned, and Jingxi already trusted Beichen Rui so much...
With a bitter smile, some things are really insurmountable; after all, the blood ties of family are more precious than anything else.
Holding his large hand, he spoke dully, "Shaoyu Dad, I believe Daddy will protect Mommy. Let’s trust him, okay?"
The once resolute heart was completely defeated by a few words from the little guy... Helplessly, he rubbed the little guy’s head...
...Little guy, if only you were really my son... I think I would definitely be proud of you, but unfortunately, there is no ’if’.
With countless thoughts in his mind, Lan Shan watched from the side, knowing that he had been persuaded and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the time that followed, Jingxi sat on the sofa, holding the bear that Beichen Rui had won for him earlier.
Earlier, the head of the amusement park had brought over those two bears... Just like that, Jingxi held onto the bear Beichen Rui won for him and refused to let go.
No one knew how much time had passed when Beichen Rui and Mo Han returned, looking exhausted. Seeing them, the little guy immediately ran over, anxiously asking, "Did you find Daddy and Mommy?"
Mo Han shook his head and sighed, "I’ve looked through all the surveillance footage but still didn’t find them."
At these words, Jingxi immediately deflated, turning around in frustration, and went straight to Lan Shan, hugging her tightly.
She patted the little guy’s back and comforted him, "Good Jingxi, don’t worry, we’ll find them."
Beichen Jue, standing nearby, saw the little guy’s reliance on Lan Shan. "You both should stay here for the night. Ah Han, you’ve had a long day too, rest here. If there’s no news by tomorrow, we’ll report it to the police."
After saying this, he walked wearily towards the stairs, his already withered right hand leaning on a cane, and his wrinkled face full of worry.
Housekeeper Lin, standing not far away, watched the old man, feeling as though he had suddenly aged a lot, trembling as he walked.
It seemed as if he might fall at any moment.
It was clear that, despite the old man’s calm appearance, he was indeed very worried inside.
