In the end, he still had someone send over diapers.

After the baby was bathed and had his diaper changed, he stopped crying and fussing, and happily played in bed by himself.

Tang Nuan felt that the child's parents must have very good personalities, and the child was so obedient.

"Check that shipment again carefully. Only deliver it to my territory when you're sure there are no problems!"

After taking a shower, Yoshino sat on the sofa making a phone call, a cigarette dangling from his lips, while he busied himself taking notes with one hand.

Tang Nuan got up and walked over, reaching out to pull the cigarette out of his mouth.

Siye glanced at her, then hung up the phone.

"I didn't light a cigarette, don't worry."

"No, just in case, you still can't smoke here."

He hasn't been able to smoke freely since the child came along.

“You women are so troublesome.” He moved aside, gesturing for her to sit down.

Tang Nuan pursed her lips, sat down next to him and said, "Siye, I want to discuss something with you."

"Sure, we can talk about anything except going home."

"Can't you let me go back first? I've been out for so many days, my family will be worried and anxious."

"cannot."

He didn't give her any chance and rejected her outright.

Tang Nuan felt utterly powerless; every attempt to communicate was the same—he never gave her a chance to leave.

Siye reached out and gently stroked the back of her neck, his words carrying a threat, "If you still want to leave, I don't mind breaking your legs and tying you to my side, so you can't go anywhere."

Her body trembled slightly. The extent to which this man was terrifying was far beyond her imagination. If he said he would break her leg, he really would.

"I see."

"Honey, I have a drinking party tonight, so I can't stay here with you. Just go to sleep."

"good."

Siye stayed for a while and then left. Tang Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, carried the child around the house for a while, and then went to sleep together when the child got sleepy.

"I heard that group of people came from Haicheng, looking for some child."

The servants' chatter could be heard outside the door.

Tang Nuan approached the door and heard them say, "Could it be this child inside?"

"Shh, don't say too much. The master said this matter must be kept secret. The leader of that group is in the front hall right now. Even if the child is here, they can't just take him away."

"That Miss Tang is really something, insisting on keeping a child with her. We have to get up early every day to feed the baby and change diapers..."

"Shh, don't say anything, or the master will hear you and you'll be thrown into the wolf den to be fed to the wolves."

The two of them walked away, whispering to each other.

Haicheng?

It must be the child's parents who have come looking for her. They must be very worried because they can't find their child. If only they could help her send a message to Tang Yao and the others.

Moreover, it's not safe for the child to stay in Laibu. Given Siye's temperament, he might really take the child away if he's unhappy one day.

She needs to think of a way.

Tang Nuan circled around in place, still at a loss. It would be difficult for her to safely send a child out on her own.

The maid just said there was someone in the front hall, so she has to go check it out.

After making sure the child was asleep, she left the room.

The room was some distance from the lobby, but as Siye led her in and out, she had already silently memorized the route.

The front hall was brightly lit, and Siye was sitting in the main seat drinking, with several of his men beside him.

The person sitting opposite us was today's guest. He raised his glass, stood up, and said, "We've come here not only to discuss the time and place for the handover of goods, but also to ask you about something."

Siye lazily turned around, propped his head up with one hand, and asked casually, "What is it?"
