Chapter 63 Daughter Kidnapped (Revised)
late at night.
After playing all day, Wen Niannian fell asleep quickly tonight. Usually, Wen Ci would have to tell her daughter a bedtime story for at least half an hour before she would fall asleep, but today, in less than ten minutes, her daughter's breathing became stable.
Wen Ci curled the corners of her lips as she looked at her daughter's well-behaved and peaceful sleeping face. Apart from the pair of almond-shaped eyes she inherited from her, her other facial features were really becoming more and more like Xie Peizhou.
Wen Ci sighed softly, pulled the thin air-conditioning blanket covering her daughter, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at the photos taken today.
Especially the photos taken at the last stage of the competition in the afternoon. Xie Peizhou held his daughter in the middle, and the two of them kissed Nian Nian on both cheeks. No one noticed it at the time, but now it seems that his daughter's face has been deformed by their kisses.
Wen Ci didn't know how long she looked at it, and finally put the photo at the bottom of the drawer of the bedside table.
A faint sigh.

One morning.
"Assistant Li, please tell me I need to see Mr. Xie."
"I'm sorry, Miss Song, I don't know about the president's personal affairs. President Xie didn't come to the company today. He told us not to disturb him no matter what happened. Send work information to his email and wait for him to deal with it tomorrow."
"Do you have something important to talk to Mr. Xie about? How about I pass it on to you tomorrow?"
Song Wanqing smiled dejectedly, "No need, it's nothing important, I can contact him myself."
"Goodbye, Miss Song."
Assistant Li politely saw Song Wanqing off.
Song Wanqing took the elevator downstairs, returned to the car, and sent another message to Xie Peizhou: [Peizhou, why aren't you at the company today? The squad leader assigned me the task of inviting you to the class reunion. Are you free to attend tonight?]
There was a pause.
She sent another message, [Just consider it as giving me face.]
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Xie Peizhou didn't reply a single word.
Song Wanqing started the car with a cold face and slowly drove away from the Xie Group Building.
She hadn't seen Xie Peizhou since Mr. Xie passed away. She would find various work or personal excuses to send him messages, but his replies were always indifferent. He would either reject her directly or arrange for his subordinates to follow up with her.
What on earth was he busy with today?
Could it be related to Wen Ci?
As soon as the thought came to her mind, a cold look appeared on Song Wanqing's face.
The light is red and the car is stuck in the middle of the road.
Song Wanqing picked up her phone boredly and looked at it. There was still no reply in the chat box with Xie Peizhou. She looked out the window.
There is a well-landscaped park on the side of the road. The weather is good today, and I can see many children wearing the same school uniforms. Their parents are with them. It should be an outdoor activity of a nearby kindergarten.
Song Wanqing didn't pay attention at first.
My sight suddenly fixed on a girl in school uniform. That face, Wen Niannian?!
The man holding Wen Niannian was wearing a white shirt. Wen Ci stood beside him, took something out of her bag, and reached out to wipe the man's slender neck.
The two seemed to look at each other.
After a while, Wen Ci's face flushed. She said something and turned to walk towards another family.
When Wen Ci left, the man holding Wen Niannian moved. Song Wanqing widened her eyes in surprise. It was really Xie Peizhou!
“Ding ding ding—”
The red light ended, but Song Wanqing's car didn't move, and the car behind her honked impatiently to warn him.
Song Wanqing drove forward with a cold face, as if her hands were not holding the steering wheel but Wen Ci's slender neck!
Damn bitch.
He lost to her five years ago and was driven overseas by Peizhou.
Now he wants to compete with her with a daughter who looks like Pei Chang?
She won't let her go!

The kindergarten's holiday was delayed by half an hour today. After organizing an outdoor parent-child activity, the principal arranged a thorough cleaning of the entire kindergarten while the parents were present.
Wen Niannian and her family were assigned to clean the windows.
Another family was also working on the glass. A tall, thin man did his job carelessly, complaining all the time, "It's so annoying! I paid to send my child to kindergarten, but they keep asking me for everything all day long. They're always asking me to do outdoor activities, and now they even have to do the cleaning. What's the point of sending my child here, don't you think?"
Xie Peizhou was teaching his daughter how to clean the glass without any water stains. He glanced at the complaining man and said calmly, "I think the director's arrangement is quite good. Outdoor parent-child activities can get children closer to nature and provide more parent-child activity time. Even if it's just cleaning, it's very heartwarming to be with my wife and children."
Xie Peizhou suddenly thought of his father.
When his father was dying, he hoped that he would get married and have children. He hoped that he could live such a warm and happy life after marriage.
The man didn't expect that Xie Peizhou not only disagreed, but actually enjoyed it. He threw the rag into the water and sneered, "If you want to do it, then do it. I'm exhausted from work, so I'll give you some parenting time!"
Seeing this, his son, who was originally listening to his mother explain how to wring out a rag, pouted and said, "I'm so tired. I'm going to rest with Dad. You do it, Mom."
After that, the father and son found a place to sit and play with their phones.
Wen Ci frowned and looked at the father and son, but heard his daughter's happy smile beside him. Turning around, he saw that it was Xie Peizhou who let his daughter sit on his neck, and the father and daughter worked together to wipe the dirty glass on the high place.
Very tacit understanding.
"Mommy, change the rag~"
Wen Ci smiled and handed the clean rag to her daughter.
Even though she was cleaning, my daughter's laughter didn't stop.
After the cleaning was finished, the head teacher gave a summary. He not only praised Nian Nian, but also gave her a small red flower, saying that Wen Nian Nian's family performed the best and cleaned the glass the cleanest.
Suddenly, a cry was heard.
Wen Ci looked over and saw the family that was just next to them.
The child's cry was sharp and annoying, and he punched his mother's body, "It's all your fault. You can't even clean the glass. Wen Niannian has a little red flower, but I don't. It's all your fault, wuwuwu!"
The father on the side scolded his son and looked at his wife impatiently, "Just tell me what you can accomplish!"
Many pairs of unhappy eyes looked at their family.
The man sneered again: "Look, you can't do anything right, and you and my son are being laughed at together."

The car was parked downstairs in the community.
When he came back, his daughter insisted on drinking lemonade, so Xie Peizhou bought her a cup.
As a result, after a few minutes, I felt the urge to urinate.
The little girl opened the car door and ran home quickly, "Mommy, I need to go back and pee first!"
Wen Ci looked at her back and told her to run slower.
"Uncle, I'm really sorry to bother you today. I hope it didn't delay your work?" Wen Ci looked at Xie Peizhou in the driver's seat apologetically.
Yesterday, the kindergarten notified us that there would be an outdoor activity today and parents were expected to accompany their children if possible. Wen Ci had originally planned to attend with Xie Yiyi, but she met Wang Zilong while visiting the amusement park on the weekend.
As soon as the little guy arrived at school, he told everyone that he had gone to the amusement park with Wen Niannian’s father over the weekend.
The children in the class looked at Wen Niannian with anticipation and asked, "Can you let your dad come to the outdoor activities too?"
The little girl was praised to the sky, her chin raised, "Of course, my dad loves me the most, he will agree to whatever I say."
Then she went home and cried to Wen Ci, insisting that her uncle and grandfather participate in outdoor activities.
Wen Ci lectured her daughter, but she still felt guilty. In order not to embarrass her daughter, she took the initiative to contact Xie Peizhou.
Fortunately, my uncle agreed immediately.
Wen Ci asked with concern: "Is the lump on your neck still itchy?"
Xie Peizhou smiled and reached out to touch the bite from the poisonous insect. It didn't itch if he didn't touch it, but he still felt an itch when he touched it lightly with his fingertips.
The scene of Wen Ci applying "Green Grass Cream" to him this morning appeared in front of his eyes. Her cool fingertips wandered over his itchy skin. They looked at each other, her cheeks turned red, and she hurriedly avoided his sight.
When I think back to the feeling at that moment, my heart still beats with fear.
Xie Peizhou's Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a low voice, "There's still some. Do you have any ointment left? Can you help me apply some more?"
Wen Ci was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and took out the herbal ointment from her bag and handed it directly to Xie Peizhou, "Uncle, I'll give you this bottle. If it still itches, just apply it twice more and it will be fine."
Xie Peizhou looked at the plaster on her fair hand and her polite and calm expression. His breathing stopped for a second and his voice became dry. "Okay."
Wen Ci picked up the things and said, "Uncle, I'll go back first."
"Wenci."
When Wen Ci pushed open the car door, Xie Peizhou called her again.
Wen Ci looked at him and heard his gentle voice, "Is the film's post-production almost finished? Make time next Wednesday, and I'll take you to meet some producers and theater owners in Beijing."
Wen Ci's eyes lit up.
Although she was determined to keep her distance from Xie Peizhou, she found it difficult to refuse such resources.
Wen Ci was grateful, "Okay, thank you, uncle."
"Yeah." Xie Peizhou watched her leave, his eyes dark.
Now, in her eyes, he is just an elder who deserves respect and gratitude.

On Wednesday, Wen Ci accompanied Xie Peizhou to the dinner.
During the dinner, I met many film project producers and cinema owners in Beijing. We had a great conversation and exchanged contact information.
“Zizi—”
Wen Ci's phone vibrated.
Wen Ci smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang, I'm going to take a call and will be back soon."
I walked to a secluded place and answered the phone. There was a gloomy and terrifying ghost voice on the other end of the phone, "Wen Ci, your daughter is in my hands. Give me 300 million and I will let your daughter go, but if you dare to call the police, hum... I guarantee that what you get in the end is your daughter's cold corpse..."
