1440 Sensible
Hearing Xiao Bao’s words, Bo Xiao felt uncomfortable. He hugged Xiao Bao. “It’s not like that. Do you believe Uncle Bo?”
Xiao Bao shook his head. “Daddy and Mommy lied to me, and Uncle Bo lied to me too.”
Bo Xiao’s heart ached. “I’ll call your father, okay? He didn’t abandon you.”
“Mm.” Xiao Bao nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Bo Xiao called Jun Shiling. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
“Hello.” Lin Jing’s voice came from the phone.
“Lin Jing, how’s Jun Shiling?” Bo Xiao stroked Xiao Bao’s hair, signaling him not to be too anxious.
Lin Jing was silent for a rare moment. “CEO Jun is being treated in the hospital. The doctor said that he’s too depressed.”
Bo Xiao tightened his grip on his phone. “Then tell Xiao Bao.”
By the time he talked to Xiao Bao, Lin Jing had already regained his rationality. He smiled and promised Xiao Bao, “When you wake up tomorrow morning, you can call your father, okay?”
Xiao Bao was skeptical. “Really?”
“Mm.” Lin Jing nodded. “Really.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Xiao Bao was happy again. He looked at Bo Xiao with curved eyes. “Uncle Bo, can I go out now?”
“Sure.” Bo Xiao carried Xiao Bao to the ground. “Our Xiao Bao is already a healthy baby.”
Xiao Bao ran out happily. “I’m home to see Sister!!!”
Xiao Bao was taken away by Old Master Jun. Bo Xiao walked out and gently patted An Rao’s shoulder.
An Rao turned around and pounced into Bo Xiao’s arms. “What should we do? Will Yuan Yuan be fine?”
Bo Xiao quietly stroked An Rao’s hair. “I’ll contact Jun Shiling when he wakes up. Don’t worry too much now.”
“Mm.” Although he said that, An Rao could not help but worry.
She and Bo Xiao did not know much and did not know where Xia Wanyuan had gone. However, Xia Wanyuan had not returned for so long. She must have encountered a huge danger.
Night finally fell in Continent F, but the base was like eternal day.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at the watch beside her and estimated that she should go to sleep.
Just as she picked up the towel, the door opened and Yu Qian stood quietly outside.
Xia Wanyuan ignored him and walked to the side to wet the towel with water, then slowly wiped her face.
Yu Qian stood at the door for a while. He did not enter and stood there quietly looking at Xia Wanyuan.
It was only when Xia Wanyuan was already lying on the bed that Yu Qian finally said, “When did you contact each other?”
Xia Wanyuan’s heart skipped a beat, but her expression did not change. “What are you saying? I don’t understand.”
“Don’t play dumb with me.” Yu Qian narrowed his eyes. “Jun Shiling is searching the ground now. It’s impossible for him to find this place so quickly, unless someone leaked a secret to him. I’ve really underestimated you.”
Xia Wanyuan sat up and looked at Yu Qian. “What do you want?”
Yu Qian’s answer was one word. “You.”
It was clearly an answer that made one’s imagination run wild, but when Yu Qian said this answer, there was no charm in his eyes.
“Are you done? I’m going to sleep. Please close the door.” Xia Wanyuan did not want to talk to Yu Qian anymore. She covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes.
After a long time, Xia Wanyuan heard Yu Qian take a step back, then the door closed.
Xia Wanyuan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and a heavy worry appeared in her heart.
She wondered how Jun Shiling was doing now.
At this moment, a large number of helicopters were searching the ground.
“CEO Jun, we’ve searched this area, but there’s no trace at all.” The subordinate came to report. “It looks the same as the previous places. There’s nothing special. Could we have been misled by the other party?”
Jun Shiling shook his head. “Right here.”
Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan would discuss the art of war together in their free time. Sometimes, when it came to secret signals, the two of them agreed on some special ways to transmit news. Even the pause between words could be used to transmit their news to each other.
Jun Shiling believed that Xia Wanyuan must be here. He ordered in a low voice, “Here, investigate.”
“Yes.”
After the subordinate left, Lin Jing brought Jun Shiling’s medicine over. “CEO Jun, take some medicine first.”
Initially, the doctor had already warned Jun Shiling that his body needed to recuperate and that he could not run around outside and tire himself out. However, the moment Jun Shiling opened his eyes, he got off the bed and brought people to look for Xia Wanyuan.
Looking at the medicine in front of him, Jun Shiling waved his hand. “Take it away. I’m not drinking it.”
Lin Jing wanted to persuade him again, but Jun Shiling’s phone rang.
It was Xiao Bao.
The phone rang for a long time before Jun Shiling finally reached out and pressed the answer button.
“Daddy!!” Finally seeing Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao’s eyes sparkled with joy. “Daddy, when will you come back?? Where’s Mommy??”
Seeing Xiao Bao’s innocent smile, Jun Shiling’s eyes finally had some warmth. He looked at Xiao Bao. “Your mother is in danger now. I need to look for her. Will you be good?”
Old Master Jun wanted to stop Jun Shiling from telling Xiao Bao this news, but before he could snatch the phone, Jun Shiling had already finished speaking.
Shocked by this sudden news, Xiao Bao was stunned for a long time before reacting. “Daddy, what danger did Mommy encounter?”
“She might never come back.”
Xiao Bao was even more stunned. He held his phone in a daze and looked flustered.
Jun Shiling looked straight at him. “Will you wait for us to come back obediently?”
Xiao Bao was stunned for a long time before finally nodding heavily. “Mm, Daddy. I’ll wait for you and Mommy to come back together.”
Jun Shiling forced a smile at Xiao Bao. “Good boy.”
With that, Jun Shiling hung up.
On the other hand, Old Master Jun was worried that Xiao Bao would be affected and hurriedly walked over to hug him. “My good Xiao Bao, don’t be sad.”
However, Xiao Bao calmly patted Old Master’s arm and looked straight at him with his round eyes. “Great-grandfather, I’m very obedient. I’m going to study.”
Looking at Xiao Bao’s calm expression, for some reason, Old Master’s eyes suddenly welled up. “Good child, rest for two days. You’ve just been discharged.”
Xiao Bao shook his head and looked at Old Master seriously. “Great-grandfather, I want to become stronger and protect Mommy.”
With that, Xiao Bao picked up his school bag and turned to walk upstairs.
Old Master Jun watched from behind and could not help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Bao carried his heavy school bag upstairs. When he passed the corner, he finally could not help but tear up.
