He had saved Ying Bao and sent her back. Ye Xun felt like he would do anything for this man.
Ying Bao shook her head and said, “No idea. I only know the uncle is so good-looking!”
Ye Xun: “…”
Huo Sanyan: “…”
You little face-judger!
Since she was back, the two of them were finally relieved and decided to bring her home.
On their way back Ye Xun warned her again and again. “From now on, whoever in charge of the kid can never let her get out of our sight! Not even for one second!”
Huo Sanyan had learned her lesson and nodded obediently, “I know.”
“That’s it. We will not tell your mommy and daddy when we are back, OK? We don’t want them to worry,” Ye Xun reminded Ying Bao.
“I see, Uncle Tree-Leaf. I won’t tell.”
Recalling having been kidnapped several times, Ying Bao asked, “Uncle Tree-Leaf, do you know why the bad guys always want to take me away?”
Ye Xun turned to her and answered seriously, “Because you’re worth a lot of money!”
“How much am I worth?” Ying Bao asked seriously.
“Hmmm, my girl, you’re worth a lot, you know? Even a wisp of your hair is worth a lot.”
Ye Xun wanted her to know that she was priceless.
“Seriously?” Ying Bao got hold of her pigtail and asked, “Then can I trade it for lollipops next time?”
How naive! Ye Xun smiled back, “Whatever you want, just tell daddy and daddy will get it for you. Never trade your hair, OK? You’ll no longer look pretty if you pull yourself bald!”
“Ok, Ok!” Ying Bao answered.
They got home safe and sound. Xu Xiyan tried to invite them for dinner. But Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan excused themselves tacitly.
They left in a hurry after bidding goodbye. Because they were afraid to be punished by the boss for what had happened today.
Ying Bao also kept her promise and did not tell her parents about the kidnapping. They had their dinner and went to bed soon after.
On the following day, Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan took her to the school.
The little girl was dressed in a bright red and green plaid suit with a brand new schoolbag. She looked gorgeous in the British style outfit.
Seeing her mother always disguised as a good-looking uncle, Ying Bao asked, “Mommy, why do you pretend to be a boy every day?”
Xu Xiyan equated and told her seriously, “Because there are bad guys who want to take mommy away. Mommy has to dress like this in order to hide from them. You know, my darling, you can also call me Uncle.”
“I see, mommy. They will never know my mommy is a magician. She can be either a girl or a boy.”
Xu Xiyan was flattered by her daughter.
Ying Bao recalled her own situation and asked, “Mommy, can you make me into a boy too?”
“Why do you want to dress like a boy?” Xu Xiyan asked.
“So that no one can recognize me and no bad uncles could take me away!”
Xu Xiyan pinched her cheek and said, “No worries. With Uncle Tree-Leaf and Auntie Three-Eyes around, no one could take you away.”
“But I was yesterday!”
Ying Bao had promised not to tell yesterday. But she could not help telling it now.
“What? Who took you away?”
Xu Xiyan felt a twinge in her heart upon hearing this.
