Chapter 406: Chapter 405: If We Die, We Die Together
Housekeeper Lin arranged rooms for them to stay in. After a whole day, everyone was tired. Lan Shan was just about to go to her room to rest when the little guy tugged at her arm.
Looking at Jingxi, she asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"
Jingxi held her arm with both hands, his head lowered without speaking. Seeing him like this, Lan Shan felt a pang in her heart and bent down to say to the little guy, "How about your godmother sleeps with you tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Jingxi lifted his head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded heavily.
So, Lan Shan carried the little guy back to the guest room Housekeeper Lin had prepared for her... She placed the little guy on the bed and then prepared to go to the bathroom to freshen up.
"Knock knock knock."
The sound of knocking came. She went to the door and opened it to see Housekeeper Lin standing there with a set of clothes in hand.
"Miss Lan, these are clothes that Old Master Bei Chen previously prepared for Miss Ye. Your figure is about the same as hers, so perhaps you can make do with these for now!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Shan was stunned... She was actually worried about having no clothes to change into... But this Old Master Bei Chen was really quite considerate, having prepared clothes for Xinluo too.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Housekeeper Lin." She reached out to take the clothes, then closed the door.
After taking a bath, she came out and saw Jingxi sitting on the bed, looking her way.
She walked to the bed, sat down, ruffled the little guy’s head, and softly said, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"
Jingxi replied, "I just woke up not long ago, I can’t sleep. Godmother, can you chat with me?"
"Alright." Lan Shan nodded, lifted the blanket, and got in, holding him in her arms. "What do you want to talk about?"
Jingxi tilted his head, thought for a while but couldn’t come up with a good topic, and pouted, "I don’t know either."
Seeing him like this, she knew he was worried about Ye Xinluo, so she gently comforted him, "Jingxi... Mommy will be okay."
"Really?" The little guy was skeptical, "But, godmother, I saw that person had a gun."
"With your daddy there, he will definitely protect your mommy, don’t you trust your daddy?" Lan Shan asked in return.
"I do."
"There you go, now sleep tight. Who knows, they might be back by the time you wake up in the morning!"
While comforting the little guy, she herself was unsure... because it hadn’t appeared to be a kidnapping for so long... This matter was a bit tricky.
... She took a great effort to coax Jingxi into sleeping, yet she herself couldn’t sleep.
In the next room, Mo Han sat on the sofa with a laptop on his lap.
Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated, he picked it up and glanced at it...
...
In the warehouse, Beichen Rui and Ye Xinluo leaned back to back, keeping each other warm. As midnight approached, the temperature dropped considerably. Even though they were dressed warmly when they set out that morning, they were still feeling cold at night.
Ye Xinluo retracted her feet, curling up with her head resting on her knees, lost in thought.
After half a minute, she lifted her head and suddenly spoke, "Beichen Rui, do you think we might die?"
Upon hearing this, Beichen Rui frowned and instinctively replied, "If we die, we die together."
If we die, we die together...
What a touching statement, but... if this continues, they might really die here...
"Beichen Rui, I’m cold..." Her body couldn’t help but tremble as she curled up.
Hearing her say she was cold, Beichen Rui felt a deep pain in his heart, so he moved closer to her, "Lean into my arms, it will be warmer."
Ye Xinluo shook her head, "Just leaning like this is fine."
