In the end, Chen Yuan took the child's hand and walked in the alley without any hesitation.
Although he was a strange child, she always felt that she had seen him somewhere.
Her recently confused memory made her unable to recall the specific location. After thinking for a while, she could only come to one conclusion:
Maybe all kids are the same.
Shen Yuan cleared his throat and continued walking forward.
"Sister, do you think we can find him?"
Chen Yuan originally wanted to help the child find his parents.
But the way he takes the initiative to talk is so cute.
Chen Yuan couldn't resist and finally started chatting with him.
"Of course I can. Describe your parents to me and I'll take you to find them. There's only one supermarket nearby, just two blocks away. Let's go look for them and we should be able to find them!"
The child was silent for a while, as if he was thinking carefully.
"Well... he's a tall, thin man with a very handsome appearance. He's different from the others and you can spot him in a crowd at a glance! He's my dad!"
Chen Yuan listened to the child's description and felt that it sounded like the person in her memory.
He is tall and thin, and very good-looking.
He has an extraordinary temperament and sharp facial features.
This is also the answer that Chen Yuan and Gu Jiju have always believed in after being together for so long.
It’s a pity that she no longer has the chance to continue getting along with Gu Jiju.
Chen Yuan was helpless and then let out a long sigh.
The child had already walked two streets holding Shen Yuan's hand.
Looking into the distance, there was no one buying anything in the convenience store.
The child watched for a long time but did not see Gu Jiju.
"He's not here."
Chen Yuan's heart tightened, and looking at the child's appearance, she thought he was about to cry.
But the next second, the emotions were suppressed.
"It's okay, I'll take you somewhere else. She might have already bought some ice cream. Then, I'll ask the store owner. Maybe she remembers your dad!"
As soon as the words fell, the child quickly followed Shen Yuan's pace and entered the convenience store.
The smell of candy hits the face, instantly attracting the children's attention.
Chen Yuan held the child's hand and spoke in an especially gentle voice.
"Hello, I want to ask if there was a tall, thin man who came in to buy ice cream just now? He is the father of this child. They are missing, and I want to help the child find him."
The clerk only thought for a second before quickly remembering Gu Jiju's identity.
"Oh, I remember. He was very handsome, wearing a suit, and had an amazing temperament! He left not long ago and walked from the left. If you go there now, you should still be able to run into him!"
"Thank you!"
Without thinking, Chen Yuan hurried out with the child.
Little did they know that during the search, Gu Jiju had already changed his route.
Because I was delayed by answering a phone call, I didn't return to the square immediately.
However, Shen Yuan took the child back to where he was just now, but still found nothing.
“No…”
The child's face was full of disappointment, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable sadness.
Little did he know that at this moment, a sharp and cute voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Looking over, Chen Yuan's heart tightened when he saw Bai Lan's figure coming towards him.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, she couldn't help but think at this moment, could this child be... Bai Lan's child?
Before he could form any thoughts, Bai Lan had already gone up to hug the child.
"Son, why are you here alone? Gu..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Lan suddenly realized the presence of Shen Yuan and immediately changed his words.
"Where's Dad?"
The child glanced towards the supermarket and said, "He went to buy me ice cream, but I waited for a long time and he didn't come back yet!"
"So you were sitting here alone during this time?"
The child glanced at Shen Yuan and said, "She's with me."
After saying that, Bai Lan stood up and took the child's hand.
While looking at Shen Yuan, the tense atmosphere was particularly obvious.
"Thank you for taking care of my son."
Shen Yuan didn't say anything, at this moment he just wanted to escape from the scene.
I thought it was just a pastime outside of work, but now, I have become the clown in someone else's game.
"It's okay, since you're here, I'll leave first."
“Hey!”
Chen Yuan turned around to leave, but was grabbed by Bai Lan before she could leave.
A burst of brute force came over, causing Shen Yuan to gasp.
The violent tearing also made Shen Yuan feel very uncomfortable.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't mean anything special. I just wanted to thank you. After all, I saw that you were quite considerate and skilled when taking care of my son just now. Even the nanny I hired at home is not even one ten-thousandth as good as you! I really can't tell that you are a single woman."
Bai Lan's words were clearly an insult to himself.
She doesn't care at all about what to say or what not to say.
But Shen Yuan's face darkened, but she was extremely happy.
"What do you mean?"
"ah?"
Bai Lan pretended to be innocent and looked like a child.
"It's nothing serious. I was just complimenting you! After all, I never knew before that you, an unmarried single woman, could be so capable and so adept at taking care of children."
Shen Yuan was silent again, and his brows quickly fell.
But when she talked about single, unmarried women, wasn’t she referring to herself?
She wanted to mock and show off.
He also became a part of Bai Lan's plan.
"Since your child is fine, I'm going back to work. I don't want to argue with you right now! I don't have time, and I don't care!"
"Wait! My child has been outside in the sun for so long, he must be feeling very uncomfortable. You knew that the child's father was Gu Jiju, so why did you bring him such a long way? You really want to make the child uncomfortable, right?"
She would attack people.
As long as I get an excuse, I will never let it go easily.
At that time, even such critical words could be uttered.
If you can stop and help the other person find their parents, you are helping.
I don't want to see him scared out there alone.
How come it has become my problem now?
"Bai Lan, I advise you to think it over before you speak. It was your son who sat here on his own and came to me saying he was scared. I took him to find Gu Jiju out of concern for him, and..."
Speaking of this, Shen Yuan's voice sounded a little choked.
"I didn't know just now that this child is Gu Jiju's."
"Now that you know, please stay away from my son. Gu Jiju and I have to continue our lives, and you can't ruin it! Also, I hope you can control your behavior and don't cause trouble for others."
Bai Lan took a step back, pretending to be aggrieved, and then cried:
"He's still a child, unlike you. He hasn't been with Gu Jiju for long. It's too much for you to sow discord between them now."
Bai Lan has always been funny, she has experienced it before.
Now that he could hear her say such words, Shen Yuan simply couldn't believe it.
It's unreasonable!
