By eight o'clock, no one had brought dinner.
Bob knocked on the study door, and after receiving a response, he pushed it open and went in.
The atmosphere inside was solemn and cold, and the man sitting in the chair behind the desk had a deep and powerful aura.
It fills every corner of the room, making people feel daunted.
"Mr. Si..."
"Are you making trouble again?"
"After the commotion of the day, it was very quiet at night."
Si Minghan was shocked by the courage shown by Tao Bao. He thought she would keep crying and begging him, and she had a strong will.
"Should we send the food in?" Bob asked after a moment's hesitation.
"No, continue to be hungry."
"Yes." Bob went out.
Tao Bao was in the wine cellar, and there was nothing but wine, not even a glass of water.
It's decided that we won't be given any food or drink.
Tao Bao made a fuss at noon, but she calmed down.
She discovered that even if she made a fuss, Si Minghan would not show mercy. He was a heartless person.
So, why not calm down and use stillness to overcome obstacles?
Tao Bao looked around and saw that it was all wine. With water, she should be able to hold on!
She found that there was no surveillance in the wine cellar. Since Si Minghan couldn't see her, he would think that she hadn't entered the wine cellar and would definitely open the door first.
Whenever she has a chance to see Si Minghan, she can go out.
Tao Bao made up her mind that when she really couldn't bear it anymore, she would just drink some wine.
The only thing that made her depressed was that she was worried about Xiaozhi, who should not have gone to bed yet.
Tao Bao stood up with his cell phone, found a corner, hid there, and made a call.
Facing the door, she could see who was coming in immediately and then hang up the phone.
The call was dialed and Aunt Qiu answered quickly. "Tao Bao, is that you?"
"Aunt Qiu, are you guys home?"
"At home! I just put the children to bed, and they are crying for their mom with tears in their eyes. I really can't bear it. What's going on with you? You didn't make it?" Aunt Qiu asked.
"I was already on the plane, but his people caught me... I'm under house arrest now and can't leave."
"What? House arrest? That man?"
"Um."
"This...this is too much, right? How could they do this to you? Call the police?"
Tao Bao was helpless. "If I could have called the police, I would have done so long ago. In Kyoto, he's so powerful that no one dares to arrest him. He's too powerful to even dare to mess with. Besides, I have a child, and if I call the police, I'll be in danger of being exposed."
"So what are you going to do?"
"I'm trying to figure out how to deal with it. I'm just worried about Xiaozhi..."
"You don't have to worry. They are just making a fuss about wanting to see you, with tears in their eyes," said Aunt Qiu.
"I know. Give them the phone number and I'll talk to them."
"Why."
Aunt Qiu brought the phone into the room and said, "Mom is calling."
The little one immediately jumped down from the tatami like a penguin diving into water. The mangzi was not agile enough and rolled down directly, rolling twice on the ground, making him see stars.
"Oh!" Aunt Qiu hurried to pick up Mangzi.
"I want to talk to Mommy!" Xiaojun said quickly.
The other five little ones stared at the phone with anticipation, as if that was their mom.
"Don't worry, I'll turn on the loudspeaker." Aunt Qiu turned on the loudspeaker, and the little ones stared nervously until Aunt Qiu said, "You can talk now."
Little Junji laughed and immediately rushed to shout, "Mommy!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"My dears, I'm sorry. Mommy didn't have time to go back." Tao Bao apologized to them.
What Xiao Xiao was thinking about was not this, but the familiar voice of his mother, and he suddenly burst into tears.
The volume is quite loud.
Even through the phone, Tao Bao felt a pang of sadness in her heart and her eyes were hot. She thought that her little one was the only one in the world who missed her so much.
"Don't cry, Xiaojun, Jixiao, Dongdong, Jingjing, Ximei, Mangzi. Mommy has some things to deal with here, and it will take a few days before she can go back. You must listen to grandma at home, okay?" Tao Bao said, suppressing the reluctance in his heart.
"Mom, are you angry? I...I will never fight with Jixiao again." Xiaojun's tears were welling up in his eyes, but he held them back.
Ji Xiao also held back his tears, "I don't like fighting!"
Dongdong sniffed, "Mom, I won't eat candy anymore."
Jingjing cried breathlessly, "I... I am not the first..."
Mangzi cried, his two chubby hands helplessly grabbing the phone, "Mommy, hug me...Mommy..."
Tao Bao also huddled in the corner like a pitiful little thing, feeling miserable silently, his eyes red. "Wait until Mommy comes back to hug you guys, okay? So, when you go to bed at night, put your phone on the bed, it will be like Mommy is sleeping with you, okay?"
“Hmm…”
Then Xiaozhi started to climb onto the bed. It was easy to jump down, but it was a bit difficult to climb up. Finally, he climbed onto the bed with his short legs.
I put the phone where Taobao usually sleeps, and the little one slept obediently beside him.
Tao Bao was coaxing them on the phone, telling them fairy tales, and all the time he could hear the sound of soft snoring.
Aunt Qiu answered the phone, "They're all asleep, with tears still hanging on their eyelashes."
"There's nothing I can do about it, Aunt Qiu. I'm sorry to bother you these past few days."
"Don't bother me. Try to come back as soon as possible. It's pitiful that everyone can't see you."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Tao Bao curled up into a ball holding the phone, stuck in the corner, looking almost as pitiful as Xiaozhi.
It was all Si Minghan's fault. If it weren't for him, would she have been able to break up with Xiaozhi? Xiaozhi had never been apart since she was born, let alone not seeing him for several days.
In order to see Xiaozi as soon as possible, she had no choice but to resort to this last resort. She hoped that this self-torture plan would succeed!
Tao Bao wiped his face and stood up. Because he had been squatting for a long time and had not eaten or drunk anything for two days, his vision suddenly went dark and he fell straight down to sit down.
"Hmm..." Tao Bao sat on the ground with his eyes closed to buffer the darkness in front of him.
It took a while to return to normal.
Tao Bao moved to the sofa, fell down, and lay on it. He stared at the dark gray ceiling with weak eyes and did not move. Moving less could save some energy.
At two o'clock in the morning, the door of the basement was opened silently, casting a tall black shadow. High-end Oxford leather shoes appeared, and the cold aura made people shudder. It added a ghostly atmosphere to the atmosphere of the late night, and approached the sleeping Tao Bao directly until it enveloped the slender and graceful body.
Tao Bao was sleeping soundly, his face was pale, his rosy little mouth was slightly open, and you could see his pink tongue between his lips and teeth. He looked so defenseless, he had no idea of the danger coming.
Maybe for her, sleeping is the most comfortable thing, at least she won’t feel hungry.
