There was a hint of grievance in the tone as well.

Because of Qin Xingzhi and the others’ deliberate concealment, Qin Yumu was still unaware of what had happened tonight, thinking they had been out playing until this late.

"Something held us up, it’s late, why haven’t you gone to bed yet? You should go to sleep now," urged Qin Yanzhi.

Exhausted, Qin Yanzhi failed to notice his younger son’s discontent.

Qin Yumu had been upset all day, and at this moment, he finally erupted.

He abruptly turned his head and ran back to his room.

With a "bang," the door shut forcefully.

It was only then that Qin Yanzhi and Xiao Beibei realized that their younger son seemed to be in a mood?

"Husband, what should we do? Yumu seems to have misunderstood something," Xiao Beibei said with concern.

"We’ll talk to him after he wakes up tomorrow, let’s rest for now," replied Qin Yanzhi.

"Won’t there be a problem waiting until tomorrow? It’s not good for one’s mental and physical health to sleep while holding in anger."

Xiao Beibei herself was the type who couldn’t sleep while harboring anger.

If not appeased on the same day, her anger only grew after a night’s sleep.

"But my brain has already gone offline today... In this state, I may not be capable of comforting or persuading, and I might blurt out something nonsensical and make things worse." free we\bnove(l).com

Normally, either Qin Yanzhi or Xiao Beibei would have gone to have a heart-to-heart with their son.

But right now, both husband and wife were physically and mentally exhausted, their minds as stuffed with cotton, unable to process.

"Indeed," agreed Xiao Beibei.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, I’ll go! I’ll talk to him!" As the only person left with a great deal of energy, Susu felt it was her responsibility and duty to help solve the problem for her tired second brother and sister-in-law.

"Sister, you’re tired too, you should rest well," Qin Yanzhi said.

"It’s okay, second brother, I’ve slept for a long time, I’m going to find your younger son!"

After saying that, Susu’s legs seemed to have electric motors installed.

"Tatatatata," she scampered to Qin Yumu’s bedroom door.

Standing on tiptoes, her small hand reached the doorknob, turned it, and opened the door.

Under the covers of the big bed, a lump had been raised.

Tightly wrapped, not a bit was uncovered.

Susu took off her slippers and climbed onto the bed.

Her small hand reached out to touch the lump tentatively.

"Don’t touch me!" came a muffled voice from Qin Yumu under the covers.

"Do you like to sleep with the covers over your head? I used to like sleeping like that when I was little, but mom and dad said it wasn’t good, so I stopped," Susu said.

"Still talking about when you were little, as if you’re so big now," came the response.

"When I was little means when I couldn’t walk yet! Now I can walk, run, and hit people, I’m really big!" Susu retorted.

"Hmph," Qin Yumu humphed, his voice still muffled.

"Hmph!" Susu copied the humph, how dare he humph at her? She had to humph back, of course!

"Go away! I’m going to sleep!" said Qin Yumu.

"I’ll leave after I’m done talking!"

"I don’t want to listen!"

"You have to listen, it’s my mission! Although I don’t like you, I really like your mom and dad! So for my second brother and sister-in-law, I came to find you!"

"What do you mean by that? If you don’t want to come, then don’t! It’s as if you all don’t care about me anyway! I’m fine alone at home!"

"Humph! Of course, you’re fine! I got kidnapped, and no one even knew where I was taken, now that was really not fine!" Susu said.

After Susu finished, the lump under the covers suddenly stirred.

Qin Yumu flung off the covers, "What did you just say? Kidnapped? What kidnapping?"
