Chapter 129 Zhou Shuang is missing
Shuangshuang was very happy when she heard that Zhou Yanli agreed to take her to set off fireworks.
She snuggled into Wen Wen's arms and put her arms around her neck out of habit. However, when she got close to Wen Wen, Zhou Shuang sensitively felt that Wen Wen seemed to dodge.
When she felt it carefully again, Wen Xin hugged her tightly again, and Zhou Shuang's familiar and warm smile was still on her face.
"Okay, Shuangshuang likes to play, so we'll accompany her. Wherever Shuangshuang wants to go, Daddy and I will accompany her, okay?"
Wen Xin kissed Shuangshuang's adorable little face, and Shuangshuang smiled even more happily.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the city is full of bright lights, and neon lights are intertwined above the city, flashing and dazzling.
Zhou Yanli wanted to ask the driver to drive to the beach, but Zhou Shuang disagreed. She wanted to go to the Central Square, saying that she had never set off fireworks there before, but she was the only one with her own thoughts.
Xiaoyu said that his "aunt" and uncle would take him to the Central Square to set off fireworks, so Shuangshuang also wanted to go.
"Are you sure you want to go to the square?"
Zhou Yanli frowned. There were a lot of people there. Zhou Shuang never liked places with too many people and was only willing to play with them.
"Yes, I will."
She just wanted to see if Mommy was really there. Zhou Shuang didn't believe that Mommy would like other children more than her. Although she had Aunt Wen, Aunt Wen was just an aunt after all, and Mommy was different.
If Aunt Wen still had a child she loved, Zhou Shuang thought she wouldn't be sad.
But she can't stand it if Mommy is nice to other children, especially that little bad boy Xiaoyu. She doesn't want Mommy to like him.
Over there, Lin Shu and Xiao Boheng had already taken Xiaoyu to the Central Square. They accompanied Xiaoyu to eat fried chicken and took him to the amusement park before finally arriving at the square, intending to end today's itinerary with fireworks.
Xiao Boheng bought a lot of handheld fireworks. He, Xiaoyu and Lin Shu each held two in their hands. When the fireworks were lit, the stars reflected on Lin Shu's beautiful face. She had a slight smile on her lips, and she looked gentle and beautiful as she spoke softly to Xiaoyu. Xiao Boheng was stunned for a moment.
"Uncle, I want to eat marshmallows."
Xiaoyu suddenly saw someone selling cotton candy on a cart with lights hanging on it. Xiao Boheng handed the fireworks in his hand to Xiaoyu and then looked at Lin Shu.
"Help me take care of Xiaoyu for a while, I'll go buy him some marshmallows."
Lin Shu nodded calmly: "Yeah, okay."
Zhou Shuang also followed Zhou Yanli and Wen Xin to the central square. Zhou Shuang did not tell Daddy and Aunt Wen that she was actually there to find Mommy. She looked around but did not see Xiaoyu and Mommy. She said she saw someone selling cotton candy from a distance.
"Daddy, I want to eat marshmallows."
Zhou Yanli patted her little head and said, "Okay."
Zhou Shuang took Wen Xin's hand and walked towards the car selling cotton candy. When the three of them walked in front of the car, they saw Xiao Boheng holding two cotton candies in his hand, one pink and one white.
"Banquet, warm and cozy?"
Xiao Boheng was very surprised. Haicheng was indeed small, and he could actually meet them here.
Zhou Yanli's expression tensed slightly, his eyes falling on the pink marshmallow. Wen Xin also saw it, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Are you bringing Xiaoyu to play? And buying him some pink marshmallows?"
Before coming, Zhou Shuang had already made a fuss, saying that Lin Shu had left with Xiao Boheng. If I guessed correctly, the pink marshmallow should have been bought for Lin Shu.
Wen Xin asked knowingly. Zhou Yanli's face was half in the shadows, and his expression was terribly gloomy.
"No, I brought a friend."
Zhou Yanli finally spoke, but his voice was so cold that it chilled the bones of the listeners: "Is that the Miss Fang you mentioned? You gave your Maybach to her last time, right?"
The slight surprise in Xiao Boheng's expression proved that Zhou Yanli was right. He smiled and said, "Yanli, you are the CEO, not the policeman, but you guessed it right."
Wen Xin smiled and said, "We are not guessing, we saw your Miss Fang, but——"
Wen Xin paused: "Are you sure her last name is Fang?"
Xiao Boheng didn't care: "There's no need to lie about this. I don't eat people. As a big CEO, is it possible that the little girl is afraid of being deceived by me? I look better than the man on the pig-killing plate, right?"
When Zhou Shuang saw Xiao Boheng, her little brain immediately thought that Xiaoyu and Mommy must be there too. She didn't even want the marshmallows, and took advantage of the time when the three adults were talking to go straight to Xiaoyu and Lin Shu.
Wen Xin looked at Xiao Boheng for a few seconds. It turns out that when a man likes someone, his intelligence will also decrease. And Xiao Boheng seemed to be a little narcissistic.
It’s just that Xiao Boheng’s attention used to be on her, but suddenly he changed his focus, and Wen Xin found it quite boring.
"It's you I'm worried about."
Wen Xin glanced at Zhou Yanli and asked, "Aren't you afraid that she's already married?"
Xiao Boheng laughed: "Absolutely impossible, she looks like she just graduated, I doubt she is even twenty years old, married? You have a very rich imagination, you will know when I introduce you to each other——"
Xiao Boheng's face lit up with joy when he mentioned Lin Shu, but his passion was soon severely dampened.
Zhou Yanli said in a cold voice: "No, just be happy."
Only then did Xiao Boheng realize that Zhou Yanli was too cold towards him. Moreover, the two had been good friends for many years, but today Xiao Boheng truly felt a strong hostility from Zhou Yanli.
Yes, it was hostility. He thought about it and felt that he should not have offended Zhou Yanli during this period.
"Just buy some marshmallows and go. We'll take Shuangshuang out to play and we won't bother you anymore."
Every word Zhou Yanli said showed that he didn't want to see Xiao Boheng. Only then did Xiao Boheng realize that he was there to buy marshmallows for Xiaoyu.
"Hey, where's Shuangshuang?"
Wen Xin came back to her senses from the fierce battle between the two men and suddenly found that Zhou Shuang was missing.
Zhou Shuang was trying hard to find Xiaoyu and Lin Shu in the crowd at this time, but there were too many people in the central square. She looked around but couldn't find anyone. When she came to her senses, she found that she had lost her father and Aunt Wenxin.
"Daddy, Aunt Wenxin."
Zhou Shuang was unusually anxious and looked for people everywhere, but there was no sign of Zhou Yanli and Wen Xin.
Only then did she finally feel scared, and tears kept falling like beans.
“Shuangshuang——”
Zhou Yanli and Wen Xin also started looking for Zhou Shuang.
"I'll bring the marshmallows over so we can look for them together."
Xiao Boheng realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly ran towards Xiaoyu and Lin Shu.
Zhou Yanli looked coldly in the direction of Xiao Boheng and saw Lin Zhu smiling and talking to Xiaoyu. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat in his chest, and then he turned away to look for his daughter.
"Uncle, why did you take so long?"
When Xiaoyu saw Xiao Boheng, the fireworks in his hand also burned out.
"Zhou Shuang is missing."
Xiao Boheng handed the marshmallows to Xiaoyu and Lin Shu. Lin Shu's pupils suddenly tightened: "Zhou Shuang?"
"Well, my friend's daughter. We just bought marshmallows together, and his daughter disappeared. You two stay where you are. I'll help find her and meet up with you later. Fang Xin, help me keep an eye on Xiaoyu and don't run around."
Xiao Boheng disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lin Shu was extremely anxious. Why was Zhou Shuang here?
"Let me look for it with you."
Shuangshuang was the child she had watched grow up, a child she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy and going through life and death.
When Lin Shu heard Xiao Boheng say that she was missing, her heart tightened.
"I want to go too, Aunt Fang. You don't know Zhou Shuang, but I do. I'll go with you."
Xiaoyu didn't know the relationship between Lin Shu and Zhou Shuang, and Lin Shu couldn't abandon Xiaoyu, who was only five years old, so he could only hold his hand and walk while looking for Zhou Shuang.
Four adults and one child were searching the central square for someone.
"Uncle Zhou——"
When Xiaoyu followed Lin Shu to find Zhou Shuang, he saw Zhou Yanli with his sharp eyes. Zhou Yanli slowed down his pace when he heard the voice, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Shu walking towards him with Xiaoyu in his hand.
His expression became more and more ugly. Because of Xiaoyu, Zhou Yanli did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, he curled his lips sarcastically when Lin Shu looked at him anxiously.
"You're quite busy."
Xiaoyu didn't hear what Zhou Yanli said. Lin Shu looked at Zhou Yanli and felt a sudden pain in his heart.
She took a deep breath, her red lips trembling: "Shuangshuang is missing, where could she have gone?"
Zhou Yanli said coldly, "Take care of whoever you want to take care of. My daughter has nothing to do with you."
At this moment, Xiaoyu seemed to see a figure that looked like Zhou Shuang in the distance. He immediately broke free from Lin Shu's hand and ran over there.
"Zhou Yanli, I'm not here to argue with you. Why don't you keep an eye on the child when you're with him?"
A five-year-old child, can’t both he and Wen Xin take care of it?
Zhou Yanli became instantly angry when he faced her accusations.
"Watch over them? They're definitely not as good as you and Xiao Boheng at looking after the children. Get the divorce formalities done as soon as possible. Shuangshuang, as you said, I want you."
He didn't even glance at Lin Shu and continued looking for Zhou Shuang.
Lin Shu was no longer in the mood to argue, so he and Zhou Yanli walked away, one on each side.
Xiaoyu ran to the familiar figure he had just seen, moved closer, and called out softly, "Zhou Shuang," as he was afraid of scaring her.
At this time, Zhou Shuang was squatting on the ground, hugging her knees with her hands, looking pitiful, and tears kept flowing down her face.
When Zhou Shuang heard someone calling her name, she immediately looked up and saw Xiaoyu's face enlarged in front of her.
When the two saw each other, one breathed a sigh of relief, and the other suddenly stood up and rushed into Xiaoyu's arms, hugging him and crying loudly.
"Brother Xiaoyu, I can't find Daddy and Aunt Wenxin."
Xiaoyu and Zhou Shuang are the same age, but boys develop faster. He is almost a head taller than Zhou Shuang. Zhou Shuang hugs him and hangs on him like a pendant.
The first time Xiaoyu heard Zhou Shuang call him "Brother Xiaoyu", his heart softened instantly.
Zhou Shuang was really scared this time. She hugged Xiaoyu tightly and cried breathlessly.
Xiaoyu reached out and wiped her tears. Seeing Zhou Shuang crying like a little doll, his previous disgust for her inexplicably disappeared.
"Zhou Shuang, don't cry. My uncle, aunt, and your dad are all looking for you. Can I take you to them?"
He held Zhou Shuang's hand. When Zhou Shuang saw Xiaoyu, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw. She held on tightly and refused to let go.
Just then, Xiaoyu spotted Lin Shu, who was still searching for Zhou Shuang, and shouted with his right hand raised high.
"Aunt Fang Xin, we are here."
Zhou Shuang and Xiaoyu were walking shoulder to shoulder. When Lin Shu got closer and closer and she finally saw that it was her mommy, Zhou Shuang, who was holding Xiaoyu's hand, slowly pulled her hand away.
