"Oh... Aunt Xiao Shaozi is so playful?" Zizai looked at Zhu Qianying with a skeptical expression.
Zhu Qianying silently apologized to her friend in her heart, while insisting aloud, "Yes, Zizai, you're only realizing this now? Your Aunt Xiaoshao is much more playful than Mommy!"
Zizai reached out and touched her face, "No, Mommy isn't playful! Mommy is being brave..."
So, from a young age, Zhu Qianying's behavior instilled in the little guy the idea that the adventurous sports his mother took him to were not just for fun, but for a kind of conquest.
It is a conquest of difficulties and the impossible.
"Yes, Zizai was very brave this time too..."
Zhu Qianying tried to use a more tactful approach to guide the little guy to talk about what happened back then, and to let him vent his fear and panic through normal channels.
Zizai had said he would chat with her, but after hearing her words, he lowered his head and opened his fairy tale book to read again.
Such obvious avoidance made Zhu Qianying dare not continue to probe.
As she was trying to calm Zizai down, the phone on Yan Shao's desk rang.
Yan Shao picked up the phone, glanced at it subconsciously at the mother and son, and answered the call. "Speak!"
As he spoke, he stood up, picked up the phone, and quickly left the study.
"Sir, we've found out who that person is; he's an orphan."
Young Master Yan frowned slightly. "What about the others? Have you investigated them thoroughly?"
"Sir, we've checked everything. Their backgrounds and assets are all very clean, and the accounts of all the families are perfectly normal."
Young Master Yan grunted in agreement. "Continue the investigation!"
He then hung up Ke Kai's call, and the phone rang again. This time, it wasn't Ke Kai or Qin Xiu, but his uncle.
He told his uncle about Zizai's situation and asked his uncle to help him find out about the current situation of the Lu family.
"Xiaohan, is Zizai feeling any better now?"
The first thing Yan Yuan asked about was the little guy's condition.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle. He is recovering well, but he has remained silent about what happened that day."
When it comes to his son's physical and mental health, Young Master Yan would never act rashly. As for Yan Yuan, he is knowledgeable and experienced; there are some things that Young Master Yan may not be able to handle, but Yan Yuan may have a way to solve.
"This should be quite normal. I once met a special forces member who came back from a mission but couldn't remember anything. He was also rescued at the time."
Upon hearing about a relevant case, Yan Shao immediately asked anxiously, "How is he now?"
"I didn't inquire about that matter anymore. After all, he wasn't one of my direct subordinates. I'll look into it later. Also, the last remnant of the Lu family was captured more than half a month ago. It's unlikely that they've extended their reach that far. You should keep a close eye on the movements of those families in L City. I'll keep a close eye on the Lu family."
Yan Yuan's reply further narrowed down the scope of Yan Shao's discussion.
"Daddy, I want to eat seafood..."
As soon as Yan Shao entered the door, the little guy pouted and started to act cute.
It was obvious that she had run into a snag with Zhu Qianying, so she turned to Yan Shao and acted cute and charming.
"Honey, didn't the doctor say we should eat as little food as possible these next few days..."
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying exchanged a glance, both looking quite troubled.
"But I just want to eat it..."
The little guy has been very well-behaved for the past day or two, but it's only at this time that he's become a bit unreasonable and persistent, not giving up until he gets what he wants.
After the little guy finished being affectionate with his dad, he rubbed against Zhu Qianying a few more times.
"Mommy, Zizai has been eating rice porridge for two days, and his mouth feels so bland..."
Zhu Qianying was unaware that the little fellow had learned such vulgar language, but what he said was the truth.
He was originally a little foodie, extremely greedy and able to eat a lot. Now, making him drink rice porridge every day is indeed a torment.
"Okay, Mommy will ask the doctor what kind of seafood Zai Zai can eat, and then Daddy will buy some later, okay?"
Zhu Qianying, as the mother, was the first to give in.
The little foodie's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "Mmm!" He leaned against Zhu Qianying and watched as she made the phone call to the doctor.
Finally, the doctor replied that some fish that are warm in nature and not drying can be eaten in small amounts, but shrimp, crabs, shellfish, and the like should not be eaten for the time being.
Zhu Qianying carefully noted down the varieties the doctor mentioned. After hanging up the phone, she went out and instructed the maid to go out and buy them.
Lunch was finally served, but Zizai could only eat porridge, fish, and some chopped vegetables.
Even so, the little guy was quite satisfied and ate so voraciously that Zhu Qianying kept reminding him, "Baby, eat slowly, don't rush..."
From a certain perspective, it's a good thing that Zai Zai has such a good appetite.
But he still showed no intention of bringing up what happened that day.
He never even mentioned topics like school or going to school.
When it was time for his afternoon nap, Zizai grabbed Zhu Qianying's hand and asked, "Mommy, can I call Nannan and Tingting over to play?"
Zhu Qianying patted his head, "Today isn't Saturday, Nannan and Tingting have to go to school..."
Zizai said "Oh..." and then stopped insisting.
Seeing his expression, Zhu Qianying really wanted to ask him if he missed his classmates and wanted to go back to school, but in the end, she didn't dare to ask.
"Mommy, let's sleep together..."
Zizai, who had been reading fairy tales all morning, looked very tired, but just like last night, he still held onto Zhu Qianying's hand and refused to let go.
Zhu Qianying lay beside him, listening to his soft snoring, but she was wide awake.
If she and Yan Shao still had a sliver of hope last night, that hope is now slowly fading away.
If Zizai doesn't mention what happened that day, in the end, we'll still have to follow Teacher Xiao's suggestion, right?
The thought of this caused Zhu Qianying unbearable pain in her heart, and she wished she could take her son's pain upon herself.
However, if this is truly the only way, then we have no choice but to do it.
She lay in bed, feeling increasingly distressed. Finally, unable to bear the torment any longer, she quietly got out of bed and went out into the living room.
In the living room, Yan Shao was looking at emails on his laptop. When he saw her come out, he reached out his hand to her, gesturing for her to come over.
Zhu Qianying sat down close to him. These past few days, she, like Zizai, had been particularly fond of his scent and the burning heat she could feel even through his clothes.
"Do we really have to do as Teacher Xiao says?" Zhu Qianying asked, her voice trembling slightly.
She had no idea what Teacher Xiao was talking about, but intuitively felt that it must be a very difficult process.
"Honey, don't worry, your uncle might have another solution!" Young Master Yan comforted her.
