Yes didn't expect to encounter such a coincidence.
Before she could even process what was happening, "Happy Birthday" blurted out. Sun Hui, who was in her arms, was then grabbed by the shoulder by Li Xinyi. "Alright, Xiao Hui, Uncle Ye will get tired from squatting for so long. Don't keep him occupied. Let's play with Uncle Ye another time."
Sun Hui reluctantly got out of his arms.
"I'm sorry, Xiaohui is quite clingy. She mentioned wanting to visit you last time, but I didn't think it would be convenient, so I didn't take her."
Ye Si understood, took out his phone from his pocket, and said, "Let's exchange contact information. I didn't bring the children a gift this time, but I'll make it up to them next time."
With such a compelling reason, trying to maintain distance would be rather impolite.
After exchanging contact information, Yes said goodbye to the group before leaving with his belongings.
Li Xinyi met Song Xingyao's gaze.
She looked in Yes's direction and hurriedly explained, "Don't overthink it. Xiao Hui was with me in the hospital when I was hospitalized. After I was discharged, I really wanted to go see him, but our identities weren't appropriate. If I went to the hospital, there would definitely be a lot of rumors going around."
Song Xingyao shrugged and smiled at the woman in front of her who was anxiously explaining, "I didn't say anything."
"You're up to no good too." Li Xinyi looked at her feigned mischievous smile with a hint of helplessness.
The two of them took the child to get something to eat, and then prepared to part ways.
Li Xinyi didn't want to hear that person's call, so she decided to take Sun Hui back early to see what kind of surprises this person, who hadn't celebrated her child's birthday in so many years, could come up with.
Back at the hotel, the living room of the suite was decorated with pink ribbons that girls like and several piles of gifts, but Sun Hui wasn't interested. Li Xinyi never skimped on food or clothing when she went out, and these were definitely not things that Sun Hui liked.
Sun Hui loves flowers, but there isn't a single one in this room.
Sun Hui loves books, but there wasn't a single one among the gifts she received.
It was all dresses covered in lace and countless dolls.
...It really felt like a birthday gift template for a little girl; I shouldn't have had any illusions.
Even Sun Hui didn't react much, and even pointed to the dress in the box and asked, "Mom, I have one of these dresses, it was given to me by my grandfather!"
Li Xinyi explained, "Well... that one was a gift from your maternal grandfather, and this one was a gift from your paternal father. You can wear whichever one you like."
Looking up at the secretary standing to the side, he asked, "Where is he?"
The secretary bowed respectfully. "I'll be back soon. I'll have the hotel serve the meal first."
Before long, a group of people dressed as chefs came in carrying exquisite plates and placed the dishes on the table one after another.
Sun Hui was a little sleepy after playing all afternoon, so she snuggled up in her arms and fell asleep.
Li Xinyi turned her head to smooth the hair on her forehead, then looked at the food on the table.
It didn't feel like a birthday party for my daughter; it felt more like a business dinner prepared by my secretary. In previous years, I would personally cook her favorite dishes, but this year it was the hotel's turn to serve her high-end pre-made meals.
She chuckled subtly, undisturbed by the child in her arms; it was her secretary standing to the side who was scrutinizing her.
After putting the child to sleep on the sofa, she picked up the book she hadn't finished reading from the windowsill and started flipping through it.
When Sun Jiming came out of Liangyan, it was already getting dark. He glanced at the sky and saw that it was almost seven o'clock. He immediately told the driver to drive back. He had been delayed today, but fortunately it wasn't too late.
Zheng Zhonglai stood at the entrance of Liangyan and saw the person into the car before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she was not exposed just now. He almost found out that the girl was missing. There was still no news from An Gui. She had no choice but to find an excuse to have Sun Xiaoxiao take her place.
Unexpectedly, he recognized her immediately. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao reacted quickly, otherwise, neither of them would have known how they died.
He took a wad of cash out of his pocket and placed it in Sun Xiaoxiao's hand, saying, "Yours."
Sun Xiaoxiao looked at the envelope in her hand, stuffed it into her bag, and looked at the man in front of her. "That girl still hasn't been found?"
"Don't mention it. There's still no news. It's okay, I've already sent people to look for you. I'll arrange for someone to take you back."
Although Sun Xiaoxiao came to fill in for someone, there haven't been any people at her level who need her to entertain in the past few days, so she's been idle.
With their own thoughts, Sun smiled and said, "What if he comes back? Anyway, I already said someone was sick and I'm here to fill in. It won't make a difference if I stay here a little longer. You should hurry up and find him."
Seeing that what she said made sense, who knew when Sun Jiming would come back to kill him again, and then it would be difficult to explain.
That Mr. Yu was completely drunk; even when he sobered up, he wouldn't say anything or admit to anything.
How could someone just vanish into thin air in the middle of the night at the imperial court? They couldn't even keep an eye on a little girl!
Sun Xiaoxiao felt both relieved and worried. She would rather the child never be found than come back to suffer, otherwise he would surely die.
As they got closer to the hotel, Sun Jiming became unusually excited. He hadn't experienced the days when Li Xinyi and the children waited for him to return in a long time.
It has been a long time since Sun Hui was born.
The phone in my pocket rang.
He took it out and glanced at it, his expression growing impatient as he looked at the name on it.
"What's wrong?" he asked coldly.
"Did I disturb you?" the woman on the other end asked anxiously and timidly.
"you say."
"Could you come and see? Xin'er has a fever and keeps crying."
The sound of a child crying came from the other end of the phone, the hoarse voice piercing his heart.
"What happened?"
Hearing Sun Jiming's tone, Song Qiao looked at the crying child on the bed, and her struggling face softened slightly.
"It's probably because Xin'er insisted on going to play in the water yesterday and stayed in the pool upstairs for too long, that's why she has a fever..."
"Have you called a doctor?" Sun Jiming glanced at the time on his wristwatch and hesitated for a moment.
“I saw it, but he keeps insisting on seeing you. Can’t you come and see him?”
Song Qiao deliberately held her phone closer to the child and reached out to pat Song Xin, who was lying down.
Sure enough, I heard a faint sob and a hoarse voice softly calling "Daddy" from the other end...
Sun Hui slept and woke up repeatedly, dozing off again in a daze, and when she finally woke up it was already past nine o'clock at night.
In the afternoon, we only ate some snacks that the kids like, and the food on the table had already gone cold.
Sun Hui sat up and looked at Li Xinyi, "Mom, I'm hungry."
My lower abdomen made a rhythmic sound, which echoed clearly in the quiet room.
Li Xinyi patted her stomach and coaxed her, "Oh dear, Xiaohui is hungry, let's get ready to eat!"
The secretary has been standing motionless at the desk for more than two hours.
Meeting Li Xinyi's gaze, she didn't know what to say, because just two hours ago he had said, "He'll be back soon..."
The once exquisite meal looked unappetizing when it got cold.
Avoiding Sun Hui's allergens, Li Xinyi casually ordered a few dishes that looked edible. "Have the hotel heat these up and bring them up," she said.
"lady……"
"Didn't you hear me? Xiao Hui is hungry." Her command carried an irresistible distance and indifference.
It's not so much anger, but rather indifference and disappointment.
