However, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Li Cheng sat blankly in the back seat of the car, lost in thought.
Without his permission, the driver dared not start the car and leave.
The two of them sat there, one in front of the other.
Inside the house.
Su Xuehai, carrying the wooden carving, walked into the house with a somewhat absent-minded expression.
He opened the door, walked through the living room, and went into his room.
He opened the cabinet by the bedside, a place that held memories of the past, and took out a box from inside.
Once the box was opened, it was filled with various wood carvings of different sizes.
In the lower right corner of the box was a stack of waybills. The sender addresses on the waybills were different, but the recipient address was always Su Xuehai's home.
Su Xuehai held the wooden carving in the box and compared it with the wooden carving he had just received. His expression gradually became complicated.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly hugged the wooden carving and strode towards the door.
Li Cheng, standing outside the door, looked conflicted; he wanted to leave, but was unwilling to give up.
After thinking it over, he took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and found Su Yan's name.
The moment his finger pressed the call button, he heard the sound of a door opening.
Li Cheng looked up in confusion and saw Su Xuehai rushing out of the door in a hurry.
Li Cheng was so captivated by Su Xuehai's sudden appearance that he didn't even notice the call on his phone had been connected.
Li Cheng quickly got out of the car, and was about to ask something when Su Xuehai quickly interrupted him.
"Who gave you this?"
Li Cheng stood there stunned, looking at the sudden look of anxiety on his face with some confusion.
"Mr. Su..."
Su Xuehai impatiently interrupted him again.
"Cooperation is fine, but tell me, who gave you this?"
The moment Li Cheng was stunned by his words, his phone, which was showing a call in his hand, suddenly hung up with a "beep".
Su Xuehai held up the wooden carving in his hand. "This question is very important to me. Who gave it to you? Just tell me, and I will agree to cooperate with you."
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng was immediately overjoyed.
"It's yours..."
The moment he blurted it out, he suddenly remembered Su Yan's instructions, and the words got stuck in his throat again.
Su Xuehai stared intently at him, a hint of anticipation flickering in his eyes.
"My what?"
Li Cheng took a deep breath. "I heard it's your hobby, so I wanted to give you this as a token of my apology."
Su Xuehai's face visibly darkened.
"Are you sure?" he asked again.
Seeing his strange expression, Li Cheng hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Yes, it's something I wanted to give you. Do you like it?"
Su Xuehai's back slowly hunched over again.
He took a breath, then turned and walked into the room without saying a word.
Li Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then asked anxiously, "Is our cooperation possible?"
Without turning his head, Su Xuehai said, "Go back. I will keep my promise and come to your company to find you tomorrow."
Li Cheng was overjoyed. "Okay! I'll wait for you!"
He turned around excitedly to call Su Yan again, but the call went on for a long time without anyone answering.
Ever since Su Yan received news about Chenchen, she has been restless and unable to sleep well at night.
She couldn't wait for Yi An's definite news any longer and was eager to go find Chen Chen at the address.
Seeing her anxious appearance, Yi An was a little worried, so she put aside her company business and went with her.
The two followed the address on the document and arrived at their destination, an old residential area.
Just by looking at the buildings in the community, you can tell that they are quite old.
The gate was covered with messy advertisements, and the environment inside wasn't much better. There wasn't a single flower in the flower beds; they were all planted with green onions. It was clearly an old, unmanaged community.
Su Yan frowned as soon as she entered the room, and her expression grew increasingly serious as she walked further in.
Yi An turned her head and saw that she looked preoccupied, so she took the initiative to ask the aunties chatting in the courtyard.
"Hello, aunties, I'd like to ask if a little boy named Bao Han lives in this courtyard?"
The older women were also very wary. They looked Yi An up and down and cautiously asked, "What's your relationship with Bao Han?"
Yi'an had already prepared her explanation, and she spoke fluently without the slightest stutter.
“I am a teacher at Baohan Kindergarten. I need to find out about some things.”
As soon as he said that, the aunties lowered their guard and pointed to a little boy playing in the sand not far away, saying, "Isn't Bao Han over there? His mother must have gone out to buy soy sauce. You'll see him in a little while."
After thanking her, Yi An told Su Yan about the situation.
Su Yan looked at the child he was pointing at and fell into deep suspicion.
Although she only glanced at Chenchen, she had already etched Chenchen's image into her heart.
Even if time has blurred this memory, the child in front of me doesn't resemble Chenchen at all.
"He doesn't look like me, nor does he look like Xiaoyu. Is he really Chenchen?"
Su Yan hesitated to go forward.
Days without hope are alright, as they are just surrounded by darkness. But once a glimmer of hope appears, her desire grows stronger, and greed follows.
If the child is not, she will only fall into deeper despair.
Yi An sensed her fear and comforted her, "It's probably because the child looks like the father. Children always grow up and look different from when they were little. Xiao Bao looks very different from when he was little."
His words comforted Su Yan somewhat, and Su Yan began to tentatively walk towards Bao Han.
Bao Han was having a great time playing in the dirt when he suddenly noticed a pair of high heels in his line of sight.
He looked up and saw a pretty auntie.
"Who are you, pretty auntie?" he asked curiously.
Because of his words, Su Yan's eyes quickly filled with tears, blurring her vision.
She tried hard to control her emotions and softly asked, "Then who are you?"
Bao Han had no reservations about her and introduced himself generously: "My name is Bao Han."
Su Yan nodded knowingly. "Your name is Bao Han. Do you live here?"
Bao Han nodded and then asked, "Does Auntie live here too? I've never seen Auntie before."
Su Yan ignored his words and continued to ask, "Who do you live with? Your parents or grandparents? Are you an only child? Are they all good to you?"
When Bao Han heard Su Yan ask a long string of questions, his brows furrowed, and he looked at her warily, as if he were looking at a strange aunt.
