These days, Luo Lan's tears have dried up. She sat there blankly, her brows never relaxed. The expectant look in Long Xiaomin's eyes when she handed An An to her appeared before her again.
She had promised her that she would raise her child well, but now, she had broken her promise and she didn't even know where her child was.
She stood up from the chair blankly. Leng Yu wanted to go over to help her, but she raised her hand to stop him.
"Leave me alone."
Leng Yu knew what she was thinking. He nodded and whispered to her:
"My wife..."
He wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but finally stopped himself.
Now that An An is missing, any words of comfort are just nonsense, it’s better not to say anything.
Under everyone's gaze, Luo Lan left the main hall with heavy steps and went straight to An An's room.
The layout and furnishings here are still the same as before, except that An An is missing.
Luo Lan walked weakly to the bed, climbed onto the edge with both hands, and sat down dejectedly on the bed, touching the perfectly folded bedding. Her heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife, and she couldn't stop her tears from falling.
She cried as she leaned over the bed, put her face on the quilt that covered An An, smelled her breath, and called her name over and over again.
"An An, where are you? Mom misses you."
"An An, Mom misses you. Have you eaten well these days?"
"An An, you have always been a clever and sensible child. This time, I failed to protect you. I'm sorry. Can you give me a chance to make it up to me? Come back soon..."
"An An, ever since the day you came to my side, I have treated you as my own daughter. If you were to get lost like this, what would you do? How would you explain to your own mother?"
"An An, come back! Mom will make you your favorite roast chicken legs..."
“An An…”
Her tears fell like beads from a broken string onto the quilt that An An was covering herself with. An An's voice, appearance, and smile appeared in front of her again and again.
Maybe because she hadn't slept well for a few days, she fell asleep hugging An An's quilt after a while. In her dream, she saw An An running towards her, and she happily greeted him.
However, before An An could reach her, she was caught by a beast that looked like a tiger and a bear. She screamed desperately, but found that she had lost her voice.
She wanted to save An An, but found that her hands and feet were out of control. Even if she wanted to cry, she couldn't.
She watched An An being taken away by the beast. She looked at An An desperately waving to her for help. She shouted with all her strength,
“An An…”
She finally shouted out, but at that moment, she also woke up.
It turned out that everything was just a dream. Looking at this empty room, her heart ached so much that she clutched her chest tightly...
"Lan'er..."
Leng Yu came here to find her because he was worried about her.
When he saw Luo Lan sitting on the bed with a painful look on her face, he went over to her with heartache and held her in his arms.
"Lan'er, don't be like this. If An'an knew about this, she would be sad."
"But where is An An? I just dreamed about her. She was taken away by a wild beast. I wanted to save her, but I couldn't move. Husband, tell me, does this dream mean that An An has met with an accident?"
"No."
Leng Yu hugged her tighter, patted her back and comforted her softly.
"Nothing will happen to An An. This child is smart and clever. Nothing will happen to her."
"My husband, this child already came from a poor family, and now something like this has happened to her. I really feel sorry for her. It's my fault for not protecting her well."
"It's not your fault. It was an accident. Don't blame yourself. An An will come back. She will definitely come back."
"Husband, after all these years, I've even forgotten An An's original identity. She, like Le Le, is a piece of my flesh and blood. But now, she's disappeared just like she did when she first arrived. It caught me off guard. I really don't know... I really don't know what to do."
At this point, she couldn't help but sob on his body.
Leng Yu sighed and hugged her while comforting her.
"My dear, although An An is not our biological daughter, I, like you, have never looked upon her differently. We all treat her as our own daughter. Don't worry, even if I turn Daning Kingdom upside down, I will bring her back safely."
Luo Lan knew that Leng Yu was comforting her. An An fell from that cliff. There were several big mountains below that cliff. Who could guarantee that there were no wild animals there?
The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached, and she couldn't help but shed tears again.
"I don't know how she has been sleeping these days. She must be very scared. She must miss me very much. Husband, let's go to bed. Maybe I can see her in my dreams. Maybe... maybe she will tell me where she is."
Leng Yu quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Nothing will happen to An An. You won't dream about her."
Although Leng Yu also knew that An An had been missing for so many days and was likely in great danger, he was also unwilling to believe that such a well-behaved and lovely child would disappear without a trace.
He swore that he would find An An no matter life or death.
…
As night falls, the only remaining ray of sunset in the sky has been covered by the mountains.
In the quiet mountain, An An curled up and hid in the bed. She was scared, she was really scared. It was already dark outside and Leng Xi had not returned yet.
