Shen Bai scratched his head, unable to understand, but he felt wronged that Song Yun wanted to send him away.
He blinked, his lips trembling as tears streamed down his face.
"You don't want me anymore, you bad person, waaaaah."
He wanted to break free from Song Yun and run away from home; this bad person was too wicked.
“I didn’t want to send you away, and I didn’t abandon you, baby. Don’t cry. I was wrong, I misspoke. If you don’t want to go back, you don’t have to. You can stay here forever. Don’t cry…”
When Song Yun saw him crying, her heart ached, and she quickly picked him up and comforted him.
Shen Bai pouted and nestled against his shoulder, her body still trembling slightly.
Yueyue's mother was right; acting cute and crying are the most effective methods.
Hmph, you think you can just kick him out and give the cake to someone else? No way, the cake is his.
Shen Bai wiped her tears on Song Yun's clothes, then took out her phone and typed:
'A small cake is needed to appease her.'
Song Yun couldn't help but laugh when she saw the child's appearance, and reached out to pinch his nose:
"Okay, I'll have the housekeeper get the small cakes later."
"Okay, okay then, I'll forgive you for now. You can run away from home again next time."
Shen Bai had no idea that he had only walked less than five meters from the doorway when he ran away from home.
After returning home, Song Yun fed him some more porridge to make sure that Shen Bai was really full before packing his things to leave.
"Then the baby must stay by my side and not wander off, okay?"
He picked up the pale pink Hello Kitty thermos and filled it with water himself, not forgetting to say:
“There are many bad people outside who specialize in kidnapping children to sell. If the baby runs around and gets kidnapped, he will suffer a terrible fate later.”
Shen Bai was initially uninterested in what he was saying, but upon hearing that it was about bad people who kidnapped children, he realized that his master had mentioned it, and his senior brother had also said that there were many bad people outside.
He looked at Song Yun with his big, curious eyes as he spoke.
[Bad people kidnap innocent children; those are human traffickers, they're evil.]
Upon hearing this, Song Yun raised an eyebrow. "The kid even knows about human traffickers? That's perfect."
“Baby, there are human traffickers outside. They will kidnap children and take them to the mountains to be locked up by old men as their wives. They are all bad people. If Xiaobai is kidnapped, she will never be able to eat the little cake again, nor will she ever see me and your master again.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Bai's eyes showed even greater fear.
[No more cupcakes? And now I'm stuck being an old man's submissive wife? Plus, I won't get to see the giant squid and my master anymore?]
No, no, I can't! The little cakes are delicious, I can't miss out on them...
His pale lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were full of worry.
He didn't know what it meant to be an old man's young wife, but it sounded terrifying—he would be locked up.
That would be as serious as not being able to eat a small cake; that means it's simply not allowed.
Seeing that the effect was almost achieved, Song Yun walked up to Shen Bai and hugged him:
"But baby, don't be afraid. I will always protect you, so baby, remember to stay with me."
He paused for a moment and then said:
"Even if I'm not here, you still have to make a call. After you dial the number, Xiaobai only needs to tap the phone three times, and I'll know you're in danger. Xiaobai, just wait for me to come and save you, okay?"
Shen Bai looked up at him and thought about what he had just said.
[Make a phone call, knock three times...]
He nodded.
I've got it.
Song Yun ruffled his hair:
"Yes, baby is great."
Shen Bai slightly raised his chin, looking a little arrogant.
Of course, I'm a newbie, and newbies are the best.
Song Yun hugged him and couldn't help but lower her head to give him a light kiss on the forehead, so light that Chen Bai didn't even notice.
"Be good, wait here for a bit, I'll go get something."
He went up to the study to bring the documents needed for the meeting, and then gave Shen Bai a hat.
From now on, I can wear a hat when I go out during the day, so I won't be afraid of getting sunburned.
After gathering all the items, Song Yun took Shen Bai to work at the company.

Inside the hospital.
The smell of disinfectant filled the entire ward.
On the hospital bed, Xu Xiaoxiang's left eye was wrapped in gauze, and due to moderate burns, some parts of his body were wrapped in bandages.
He could still use his right eye and right hand, but the pain all over his body made him feel extremely resentful, and he transferred all his hatred to Shen Bai.
He kept thinking back to why the wooden doll suddenly exploded, injuring his eyes and even burning him. His face, his eyes... were all ruined.
It's all Shen Bai's fault. If Shen Bai had just obediently died, the wooden doll wouldn't have exploded. It's all Shen Bai's fault.
Shen Bai… Why doesn’t he just die? Why didn’t that cat scare him to death that day? He’s just an idiot, a useless mute; death would be the best outcome for him.
He was so angry he wanted to crush the phone with his right hand.
His burns were excruciating, and his left eye, now missing its eyeball, was in so much pain that he wished he could just faint.
I've already taken painkillers, so why do I still feel so much pain?
Just as he was in a daze from the pain, the conversation between the two nurses next to him caught his attention.
"Yes, this boy is really handsome, and he has long hair."
"I saw it at an amusement park near Kyoto University that day, ahhh, it was so beautiful."
"Haha, this is the first time I've used 'handsome' to describe a boy."...
Xu Xiaoxiang seemed to realize something, and a sinister smile appeared on his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

Song Group Building.
Shen Bai continued to curl up on the sofa watching cartoons, while Song Yun was handling official business.
His phone vibrated; a message popped up in the group chat.
Then there's news about n, who is the person he sent to keep an eye on Xu Xiaoxiang.
Song Yun first checked n's message, and saw that n had sent several videos directly. Song Yun saved all the videos.
SY: [Keep searching, and keep everything you find.]
n: [Okay, Mr. Song.]
Then Song Yun opened the group messages again. At this moment, Zhao Fengning and the others seemed to have gone crazy, frantically tagging him.
Even Song Shuyao kept sending him messages.
The book bit me: [Brother, something happened to your wife! Quick, check the top trending topic.]
Song Yun glanced at the group messages again; there were several links in them.
Song Yun clicked directly to the top trending topic.
[Shocking! The wife of the president of Song's Group, a leading enterprise in Beijing, is actually the culprit in the Beijing University cat abuse case?!]
[A femme fatale, nothing more than this. Countless cats and dogs have had their lives destroyed by this demon.]
[The perpetrator of the Peking University cat abuse case—the wife of the Song family's CEO.]
[The Taoist temple boy, the Song family president's wife, and the cat abuse case perpetrator are all the same person!!!]
Several similar terms instantly topped the trending searches; the mere mention of the Song family was enough to draw people in.
