One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 496 - 494: Secrets Forgotten by Time (XIV)

Her cheeks instantly flushed, "Xiao Jinghuai, you..."Xiao Jinghuai laughed wickedly, "You say you’re frigid, but I’m not—"

As he spoke, he had already lowered his head to kiss her lips. Song Song quickly dodged, safely escaping. Out of breath, she said, "Let’s... go back."

"Hmm?" Xiao Jinghuai was puzzled by her sudden thought, "Didn’t we just agree with Huo Junting to stay out for a while? Why the change of heart now?"

Song Song smiled as bright as the sun, raising her hand to hook around the man’s neck, "I don’t know, maybe hanging around with you all for so long, I’ve learned to..."

For a moment, she really couldn’t find the right word to describe it.

After experiencing much, one naturally grows. She was undergoing such a transformation now.

She was growing rapidly, at least she wouldn’t be timid anymore, or act overly cautious.

Xiao Jinghuai eyed her, patiently waiting for her to continue, but he didn’t expect her to change the subject and say, "Get up, you’re crushing me. Let’s go back, alright?"

The man’s eyes narrowed slightly, a brief glow flashing inside them. He reached out to pinch her cheek, "Alright, as you wish."

Song Song smiled gratefully, pulled the man’s neck down, and kissed his cheek, "Thank you!"

She knew he saw through her thoughts—

Concern for her parents.

...

They had just driven to the Huo family’s villa gate when they saw Huo Chen running out from inside, his expression as if he had just experienced a calamity!

When he saw the two of them, he immediately ran over, anxiously saying, "Song Song, your mom is missing."

"What?" Song Song felt dizzy for a moment, "How could she be missing? Didn’t you keep a good watch on her?"

Huo Chen’s eyes were already red with anxiety. Anything related to Song Xueqin, no matter how small, was a big deal, let alone her sudden disappearance.

"It’s all my fault. I’ve indeed been too tired these past few days. So, after she fell asleep, I just took a short nap. When I woke up, she was no longer in bed."

"She’s still sick, going out alone with such a weak body, where could she go?"

"..."

Xiao Jinghuai reached out and supported Song Song beside him, comforting her, "It’s okay, I think she’ll come back soon. Maybe she just wants some peace and quiet for a while."

Then he turned to Huo Chen and asked, "Is there surveillance here?"

"There used to be, but after Song Song and Xueqin moved in, I removed those things. I didn’t want them to feel uncomfortable—"

Hearing this, Song Song felt a bit touched, knowing that Huo Chen genuinely cared for her and her mother. "Uncle Huo, I spoke too harshly earlier, I’m sorry!"

"With my mom suddenly missing, honestly, you’re the most worried—"

This man truly treated her mother as a treasure, nurturing her without asking for anything in return, just endlessly giving.

Huo Chen was full of worry, "Song Song, it’s okay. It’s really my fault for not taking good care of her. Given that Qiao Yanjing encountered some trouble recently, I should have anticipated her emotional fluctuations, so it’s my oversight."

At this moment, Xiao Jinghuai and Song Song exchanged glances, and their thoughts aligned: it’s very possible she’s gone to find Qiao Yanjing.

Xiao Jinghuai immediately took out his phone and called Xing Quan, "Xing Quan, help me find out where Qiao Yanjing is hiding as soon as possible? I’m giving you just one hour."

Xing Quan on the other end almost wanted to cry out; he was in the middle of a date, a date! But he still replied seriously, "Alright, I understand!"

Even so, Song Song was still very worried and instinctively held Xiao Jinghuai’s hand tightly—

...

Song Xueqin took a taxi to an abandoned school front. She paid and got out, walking to the rusted iron gate, slowly reaching out to pull it open—

But it was too heavy, and with her current body condition, she simply couldn’t move it.

A low male voice suddenly emerged from behind.

"Let me—"
