Chapter 127 The Little Girl is the Savior
Just when Shen Jiheng was about to explode with anger but had nowhere to vent it, this angelic little girl appeared before him, looking at him with her clear and bright eyes.
From the moment Han Yumo reached out to hug him, Shen Jiheng's anger diminished by half.
He didn't want to say a word, but he still picked up the silent child and patiently asked her what was wrong.
Han Yumo nestled in his arms, raised her small hand, and gently smoothed the furrowed brow.
This action struck Shen Jiheng's heart directly, instantly extinguishing all his anger.
Even he himself found it incredible that this little girl possessed such magic.
"Gu Beichen is so lucky to have such a lovely daughter like you."
Han Yumo flashed a bright smile, making Shen Jiheng unable to look away.
When Qin Chuan returned after making the call, he was amazed by the scene before him: the imposing and noble Shen Jiheng was holding a little princess who looked like she had stepped out of a fairy tale.
The two wore the same smile, so in sync and loving. If one didn't know the little girl's identity, one would really think she was the president's long-lost daughter.
Qin Chuan knew that the president was in a very bad mood and had a long face the whole way. Then the car broke down, which only made him angrier.
Qin Chuan was still worried about how he would be scolded later, but the appearance of this little girl was simply a savior.
Soon Qin Chuan heard the sound of missing person notices coming from the courtyard, and it seemed that someone was calling the child's name through a loudspeaker.
Although he didn't want to disturb the beautiful scene, he still stepped forward.
"President, I think I heard a missing person notice. It should be looking for this young lady."
Shen Jiheng came to his senses; he had almost forgotten that he had just seen the little one crawl out of the fence.
"Call Gu Beichen and tell him the child is here."
Qin Chuan nodded, took out his phone, and dialed Gu Beichen's number.
He just couldn't understand why Gu Beichen's daughter seemed to like their CEO so much, but didn't seem to have the same enthusiasm for her father.
After receiving the call, Gu Beichen rushed out in a panic and, sure enough, saw Shen Jiheng holding Han Yumo by the roadside.
He immediately accused Shen Jiheng, "What are you up to, trying to kidnap my daughter?"
"...Do you think I'm trying to abduct her?"
Shen Jiheng let go, and Han Yumo immediately hugged his neck and wouldn't let go, like a little sloth clinging to him.
Gu Beichen was so anxious that he almost forgot that a cold person like Shen Jiheng would never bother to associate with others, so why would he come and take away a child who was unimportant to him?
He sighed, stepped forward, and extended his hand: "Even so, you should have contacted me sooner. Her mother and I... I was terrified."
Gu Beichen quickly took back his words, realizing he had almost said something he shouldn't have.
However, the perceptive Shen Jiheng could hear it and looked behind him to ask, "What, the child's mother is here too? To be honest, I'm a little curious. I want to see what the child's mother looks like."
Gu Beichen was stunned by these words. He snatched Han Yumo from his arms and said unhappily, "What are you doing? What's so interesting about my ex?"
Shen Jiheng glared at him, a hint of warning in his eyes. He said, "Gu Beichen, as a friend, I have to remind you that your relationship with Zhuo Qingqian is very stable. Now an ex has appeared with a child. What are you trying to do?"
Gu Beichen suddenly realized what he meant; he was worried that Gu Beichen was two-timing him.
"You can rest assured about that. I only love Qianqian."
"What about the child?"
Gu Beichen felt ashamed. He was someone who never meddled in other people's business, so why was he suddenly concerned about other people's affairs?
"I will try my best to communicate with Qianqian and try to get her to accept it."
Qin Chuan added, "Mr. Gu, based on my understanding of Attorney Zhuo, she has a strong personality and will definitely not accept it."
Gu Beichen smiled awkwardly: "Well, I don't need you two outsiders to worry about my family matters. If my daughter comes looking for you again in the future, please let me know immediately."
For some reason, Shen Jiheng felt an inexplicable resentment in his heart.
It wasn't brought by Shen Qingzhou; it seems to have come from Gu Beichen.
Gu Beichen turned around with Han Yumo in his arms and saw Han Xi walking over with her son. By the time he tried to wave to stop her, it was too late.
Han Xi heard from the staff that Gu Beichen had run out after hearing a clue, which is why she chased after him.
Who would have thought that this is what I would see when I ran out?
What she didn't expect was that her daughter went to find Shen Jiheng again.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly, and Han Yuxuan, unaware of what was going on, spoke excitedly.
"We've found my sister."
Seeing that he was about to call her, Han Xi quickly said, "Yu Xuan, your father is really amazing. He found your sister before we did. Your aunt almost called the police."
Han Yuxuan was taken aback when she heard this, then nodded in understanding.
Han Xi's heart was racing, and her eyes were fixed on her daughter.
Gu Beichen winked at her, warning her that things couldn't go wrong in this situation.
Shen Jiheng sensed something was off about the atmosphere between them, so he stepped forward and asked curiously, "Han Xi, what are you doing here?"
Han Xi gave a high-sounding reason.
“Beichen just called me and said his daughter is missing. I happened to be nearby, so I came over to help him look for her.”
Han Xi finished speaking without changing her expression, walked to her daughter's side, pinched her cheek, and then looked at Gu Beichen, giving him a look that signaled him to leave first.
Unexpectedly, Han Yumo opened her arms and rushed towards her, calling out, "Mommy~"
The simple address caused an uproar at the scene. Shen Jiheng looked at her incredulously, while Qin Chuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he kept looking the three of them over, finding them more and more alike.
Gu Beichen was also feeling uneasy; this situation was beyond his expectations.
All eyes turned to Han Xi, who calmly took Han Yumo into her arms, gently stroking her face with eyes full of pity.
“This child is so pitiful. She’s introverted and not very talkative. All she can say now is ‘Mom.’ Beichen, you’re such a bad father. You should try to guide her more. If all else fails, find her a mother.”
Gu Beichen slapped his face and said, "You're right. I'm a bastard as a father. I abandoned them and their children back then, and they're not close to me now. I'm so grateful for your help."
Han Yuxuan sensed her mother's panic and walked up to Gu Beichen, tugging at his sleeve.
"Dad, when will you take us back to visit Mom? My sister and I miss her so much."
With his explanation, Han Xi was naturally cleared of suspicion.
The key point is that no one would have thought such a young child could act.
Gu Beichen picked him up and kissed him. "My good son, your mother has made a new choice. How about Daddy finds you a beautiful mommy?"
Shen Jiheng's gaze fell on Han Xi, and the image of her holding the little girl lingered in his mind.
"We can't stay here any longer," Han Xi coughed and said, "Shen Jiheng, you've come at the right time. I was just about to go find you anyway."
