Tao Baoli arrived home, and the familiar environment made her feel at ease. There was also a faint scent of milk in the air.
Apart from Liao Xihe, no one knew she lived here, as if she had found an inviolable harbor.
No, it's not a harbor, but a shaky boat.
The huge Kyoto was like a cage built by Si Minghan, covering the sky with one hand, and she couldn't escape at all.
And Hanyuan is like a devil's cave with wild beasts lurking inside. It is easy to get in but difficult to get out.
Now when I think about the few days I stayed in Hanyuan, I still feel scared.
She must never go to Hanyuan again!
The phone is plugged in, turned on, and text messages and calls come one after another.
There was Aunt Qiu, the TV station, Liao Xihe... It was understandable that the first three called her, but why did Si Yuanqi call her as well?
Are they familiar with each other?
Just as I was looking down on him, my cell phone rang at the right moment. It was Liao Xihe.
Tao Bao answered, "Hello..."
"I finally got through to you. Even if you go to the countryside, don't turn off your phone, right?" Liao Xihe asked.
Tao Bao was slightly stunned. Going to the countryside? That was just a random excuse Aunt Qiu and Liao Xihe made up.
Did they meet?
"You know what's going on with the children, right? It's incredibly dangerous! Even if you send them to someone else's care, they're still your children, just living separately. Do you think one servant would have the energy to take care of six children?"
"Aunt Qiu is not a servant."
"I know it was your grandmother who saved that person. But can she take care of him alone? Look at the child, he's even been on TV."
"The fact that the child was on TV had nothing to do with Aunt Qiu. He was missing from school," Tao Bao said. "Aunt Qiu was even more worried than I was about the child being missing."
"Okay, since you insist, I can't say anything. Come to my house for dinner next week!" Liao Xihe didn't want to ruin his relationship with Tao Bao, so he changed the subject.
"Eat? Go to... Si's house?" Tao Bao asked. Why would they want to eat out of the blue?
"Yes, your uncle Si welcomes you very much!"
Tao Bao was silent, Qingli frowned. How could she go to eat, especially at the Si family's?
"Don't worry, Si Minghan won't come. He has nothing to do with the Si family anymore."
"You said the same thing before, but he showed up at the birthday party."
"That's different. The birthday party was outside, but now it's at Si's house."
Tao Bao refused, "I'm not going."
"Why don't you come? Don't you even want to have a meal with your mother?" Liao Xihe asked.
Tao Bao raised his eyes and looked out the window, speaking out his true feelings, "Just like before, let's not contact each other anymore, okay? You live your life, I have mine. Maybe everything has changed since you left me and gave up on me..."
"Xiaobao, weren't you willing to accept your mother? Why did you change now? Did something happen? Is it because of Si Minghan?"
"...No. It has nothing to do with him..." Tao Bao didn't tell the truth.
What happened to her must have been quite unbelievable to Liao Xihe!
For Tao Bao, this is a private matter and she doesn't want to tell others about her terrible experience.
Most importantly, no one can help her... because Si Minghan is a powerful king.
"Tao Bao, you..."
"Stop talking, I'm hanging up." Without waiting for Liao Xihe to say anything, he hung up the phone.
She put her cell phone aside and sat on the foam board, leaning against the sofa, hugging her legs, with her chin resting on her knees, which was a sign of insecurity.
She would curl into herself when her father beat her, and she would do the same when she felt uneasy.
It was right to avoid contact with Liao Xihe. She did not gain or lose anything. She was just like when she was a child, without a father and a mother, and it would remain so in the future.
She didn't care about that. What she cared about was the fear effect brought by Si Minghan.
Si Minghan’s warning to her that day was still fresh in her mind—only if you have nothing to do with the Si family can you live long.
Tao Bao thought that she had nothing to do with the Si family.
If the plane had not been stopped by Si Minghan, she would have flown away with her children and never returned to Kyoto.
Where does this communication come from?
Tao Bao took the phone and wanted to check the time. The six little ones would be here soon, right?
Thinking of something, she turned on the TV station's interview video of cute kids and watched it from the beginning again. When she saw her six little ones, her mood suddenly became happy.
After seeing the six little ones answering and holding people's words——
"My...my dad is dead!"
Why do they all look so happy after answering? If Si Minghan knew that his own child said this to him and was so excited, I wonder how he would react?
No, he must never know the child's existence!
Seeing the cute appearance of the six little ones in the video, Tao Bao's inner uneasiness gradually dissipated.
As long as the six little ones are by her side, what else does she have to be afraid of?
There was a sound of a door opening outside. Tao Bao raised his head and saw six little ones coming in. When they saw Tao Bao sitting next to the sofa, they were all stunned for a moment, then they opened their little hands and waved their short legs and ran towards Tao Bao.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
Tao Bao opened his arms happily, but something occurred to him halfway through. Before he could stop them, the six little ones rushed into Tao Bao's arms and threw him to the ground.
"Ah!" Tao Baohan, why do they always pounce on me together?
All six little ones climbed onto her body.
Turning around, she saw the boy who had been squeezed off her and rolled down. He struggled to get up and sit down with short arms and legs, looking confused. But when he saw Tao Bao, his mouth suddenly opened into a round shape, and his eyes smiled into cute crescent shapes.
"You're here?" Aunt Qiu was overjoyed to see Tao Bao. "When are you coming?"
"It's been more than an hour." Tao Bao sat up from the ground, and the baby on her body fell down. The twins, a boy and a girl, fell to the side and lay down roundly. Ximei squatted at her waist, looking at her innocently like kittens, and Ji Xiao sat beside her. The most mischievous Xiaojun rolled down and climbed onto Tao Bao's body again, climbing onto her shoulders from behind.
"Aunt Qiu, thank you for your hard work recently." Tao Bao apologized.
"Why are you so hard-working? Have you solved your problem?" Aunt Qiu asked worriedly.
Tao Bao said, "It's solved temporarily, I don't know what will happen in the future..."
She couldn't leave Kyoto, and Si Minghan was controlling her. It was hard to predict what would happen in the future...
Xiaojun hugged Tao Bao's neck and said, "Mom, are you done with your work?"
"Mom, we're on TV. Did you see us?" Ji asked with a smile and starry eyes.
"Mom, I'm on TV too!" Dongdong said happily.
"Mom, I too... I too..." Jingjing leaned against Tao Bao, looking aggrieved.
"Mom, there's me and there's me!" Ximei said anxiously.
"Mangzi...TV!" Mangzi said awkwardly, his little face flushed.
