Inside the cave, the light was dim, with only the glow of a desk lamp.
The interior decoration was largely the same as that of other houses.
"Honey, our daughter is here, not far away. What should we do? Should we go out?" Zhao Yan'er rushed back from outside and closed the door.
Qiu Jing, who was flipping through books at his desk, was also startled, tearing a crack in the edge of the page.
"Ah Hu is here? How is that possible? How did they find their way in?" Qiu Jing thought this place was really hard to find.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to spend so many years here peacefully.
Although they cannot live with Qiu Hu, they can still see him often.
"I don't know either. When I went out just now, I saw Ah Hu outside, being all lovey-dovey with a man. The way that man looked at Ah Hu was very strange. He likes our Ah Hu." Zhao Yan'er's last sentence was clearly tinged with reluctance.
This news must have shocked Qiu Jing. His Ah Hu has a boyfriend? Is he as good as him?
"What? Ah Hu already has a boyfriend? How come she got a boyfriend after only a few months away? What's he like? He's not bad-looking, is he?"
“He’s not ugly, he’s actually quite handsome, and he’s good-looking enough to be a match for our Ah Hu. But I just can’t bear to part with him. He only came back once after Ah Hu left.” Zhao Yan’er tugged at Qiu Jing’s sleeve, looking aggrieved.
"Why don't we leave? I really can't take it anymore! I want to live with them. I'd rather fight Colin's men."
"Why don't we wait for Xiao Xi to wake up and see how he reacts before we decide?" Qiu Jing remained calm, thinking it wasn't the right time yet.
They glanced again at Zhao Shi, who was fast asleep on the bed.
"Honey, look how handsome our little Xi is! Our genes have really paid off," Zhao Yan'er exclaimed, looking at her son on the bed.
"Sigh, it's no use saying all this now. Our biggest regret is that we can't watch them grow up."
"Yeah, I wonder if Ah Hu will be angry with us."
“She should be angry with us.” Zhao Yan’er lowered her eyes sadly. “She’s never been around us since she was little.”
That was their biggest regret in life: not being able to be there for their two children as they grew up.
"It's all my fault for being useless and unable to protect you," Qiu Jing said, blaming himself.
"Honey, don't say that. You've already done so well. Now I just hope that Xiao Xi's illness will get better soon, and then we can be reunited as a family." Zhao Yan'er has a good ability to regulate her emotions and has already begun to look forward to the future.
Over the years, they have endured hardship by finding joy in the midst of it all.
“I hope so too,” Qiu Jing said curiously, knowing that Zhao Yan’er had met Qiu Hu. “Wife, tell me more about the changes in Ah Hu these past few months! I haven’t seen her in so long.”
Before, when Qiu Hu was on Huxi Island, they could secretly go out to see her. But since Qiu Hu returned to Qincheng, it has become difficult for them to even see each other, and he doesn't dare to go out at all.
"Hmph, am I still your most beloved baby? All you ever do is 'Ah Hu, Ah Hu,' is your daughter more important than me?" Zhao Yan'er turned away, not wanting to talk to him anymore, she was so jealous!
Looking at his wife like this, Qiu Jing only found her adorable, not annoying. She used to be like this, and he always had to coax her to get her to stop. "Of course you are my darling, but Ah Hu is our darling, it's different."
"You're just trying to flatter me." But when she talked about Qiu Hu, she became excited. "Ah Hu, I just saw a lot of expressions on her face. She's not as cold as before. Our darling looks so beautiful when she smiles."
"Tell me more, tell me more." Qiu Jing felt that she could never get enough of her daughter's stories.
"..."
At this moment, the harmony inside the house and the anxiety outside were worlds apart.
The people outside searched the vicinity again and again but still couldn't find it. Finally, they gathered together and said, "Let's go back first! It's getting late, we'll come back to look for it tomorrow!"
The group returned the way they came, climbed out of the hole and returned to the surface. Qiu Hu took Ning Yizhan back to his villa, and the others returned to their own residences.
"What about me? Where do I live?" It seems only Chang Tingfeng has nowhere to go, oh, and Zhou Jue too. "And what about me?"
Qiu Hu had almost forgotten about this person. He called out to A Yi, who was about to leave, "A Yi, take these two gentlemen to rest. Make the arrangements."
"Okay, Miss, you should also get some rest."
As the crowd dispersed, Qiu Hu led Ning Yizhan inside, saying, "You've been here before, haven't you?"
"Yes, I've been here once," Ning Yizhan replied casually, looking at the structure of the house.
Just as they were about to continue, the doorbell rang, "ding-dong, ding-dong."
Qiu Hu went to open the door; it was a food delivery person. After settling things in with Qiu Hu, they left. "Ning Yizhan, come and have something to eat!"
"Okay, I searched in the woods for a long time and used up a lot of energy, so I'm really hungry!"
But Qiu Hu was distracted the whole time. She only ate a little before losing her appetite. If Ning Yizhan hadn't personally brought it to her lips, she would have taken a couple more bites, but after that, she didn't want to eat anymore.
"I don't want to eat anymore, I can't eat!"
"Really can't eat anymore? You're thinking about not being able to eat anymore?" Ning Yizhan held the spoon in his hand, looking down at Qiu Hu, whose brows were furrowed with worry.
"I don't want to eat anymore."
Ning Yizhan then put down his bowl, moved a few steps closer to her, and said slowly, "Would you like to do something relaxing?"
At that moment, she was indeed very nervous, her mind was on edge, and she subconsciously asked, "What do you mean by relaxing?"
"It's very simple, just go upstairs and take a bath to relax!" Ning Yizhan guided the first step.
