"you--"

However, before she could say anything, the phone was hung up and a beeping sound came from the phone.

Looking at the phone, the fire in Ye Ziqing's heart jumped up. At this moment, the phone vibrated again. It was Shen Lianjue calling.

"I went to my eldest brother's apartment. There is no one in the apartment. I will go look for you again. You wait for my call."

Shen Lianjue's steps were very fast. Even through the phone, Ye Ziqing could clearly hear the rapid footsteps coming from him; "Lianjue, there's no need to look for him, he and I have already talked on the phone."

"By phone?"

"Yes, it's already so late. You should rest quickly."

Hearing this, Shen Lianjue felt relieved; "Okay, call me if you have anything to do. Also, Xuanxuan is my eldest brother's child after all, so you don't have to worry."

After ending the call with Shen Lianjue, the first thing Ye Ziqing did when she returned home was to book tickets.

Naturally, it was impossible to book a ticket for tonight, so she could only book the earliest flight tomorrow morning.

The whole night, Ye Ziqing didn't sleep deeply. She tossed and turned, and she always thought of Xuanxuan.

She was not worried about what Shen Shaoting would do to Xuanxuan, but she was worried about whether Xuanxuan would cry or not fall asleep if she didn't see her...

Also, Xuanxuan would sleep with her every night since she was little. Now that her soft little body was suddenly missing, her body and mind became empty and she couldn't sleep.

Lying on her side, her eyes would fall on the mobile phone placed next to the pillow from time to time. Maybe Xuanxuan would call her at some point, so she couldn't put the mobile phone too far away from her.

However, the whole night, the cell phone did not even ring. This was good, at least it meant that Xuanxuan was not crying or making trouble, and she could feel at ease.

The next morning, before dawn, Ye Ziqing rushed to the airport quickly without pausing for a moment.

In the apartment.

Shen Shaoting was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was still wearing pajamas on his tall body. He was handsome and had a touch of casualness and insouciance in his clothes.

On the big bed in the room, Xuanxuan's little body was lying there in a mess. After a while, she climbed up from the bed and sat up. She rubbed her hazy eyes with her two little hands. She seemed to be dreaming but not a dream. There was something in her mouth. Calling mommy in confusion.

After receiving no response for a long time, she put down her little hands rubbing her eyes. When she saw the unfamiliar room and decoration, she jumped out of bed and ran directly outside without putting on her shoes.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming, Shen Shaoting raised his eyes and saw Xuanxuan running over with bare feet. Seeing this, his handsome eyebrows frowned, "Where are the shoes?"

Xuanxuan's little brows also wrinkled, her expression was exactly the same as his, "Where's Mommy?"

"Go put on your shoes..." Shen Shaoting said in a calm voice without answering her.

"Where's Mommy? I want Mommy!" Xuanxuan didn't put on her shoes, she just clamored for Mommy.

Looking away from the soft but disobedient little figure, Shen Shaoting felt a little helpless with her. Then, his eyes fell on another place and he tugged on his thin lips: "Sister-in-law Li."

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Li, who was still busy in the room, quickly walked out. After seeing Xuanxuan's feet, she quickly turned around, took out her shoes from the room, and coaxed, "Little miss, let's put on our shoes first."

Sister-in-law Li was specially transferred here last night to take care of Xuanxuan.

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Li hugged Xuanxuan and sat on the sofa. Then, she squatted in front of Xuanxuan, bent slightly, and put on Xuanxuan's shoes.

However, Xuanxuan was obviously unwilling to cooperate. Her two calves kept kicking randomly, Mommy, she only wants Mommy!

Sister-in-law Li just put the shoes on her feet. She kicked her calves and threw the shoes that were already hanging on her feet away.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li had no choice but to pick it up and then coaxed her softly again: "Little Miss, be good, let's put on our shoes first, okay?"

Without saying a word, Xuanxuan's little mouth was tightly closed. She exerted more force on her calves and pushed the shoes away. She refused to obey and just kicked back and forth like that.

There was no other way, Sister-in-law Li just kept picking it up and back.

Looking at her who was acting so casually, Shen Shaoting's eyes gradually turned from soft at the beginning to deep, and even the voice coming out of his thin lips became cold and low; "Dump it again." Try on the shoes..."

The outline of his face was already cold and hard, and with his expression now darkened, his face looked even colder and stiffer.

Xuanxuan was a bit young after all. After being scolded in such a deep voice, she shrank slightly in fear while sitting on the sofa, and then she let out a cry and burst into tears.

Just sitting there, my little shoulders were shaking, and my cute little nose turned red from crying. It was so pitiful.

Sister-in-law Li felt distressed for a while, hugged that little body into her arms, patted her back, and coaxed her gently.

His deep eyes stared at the big tears falling down his pink face. His chest rose and fell, and he even felt slightly out of breath. Shen Shaoting's straight eyebrows were raised a little more, Just now, was his tone a little too deep?

Sister-in-law Li coaxed her gently, but it had some effect. At least, Xuanxuan didn't cry as fiercely as she had just cried. She choked in a low voice, "Mommy! I want Mommy!"

"Little miss, be good, mommy will be here soon." Sister-in-law Li stretched out her hand to wipe her tears.

Hearing this, Xuanxuan pointed her white and tender little hand and accused Shen Shaoting with tears in her eyes: "Hate! Bad guy! Liar! Big liar! Yesterday, I said mommy would be here soon, so I fell asleep for a long time, but mommy Not here yet! Big liar!"

"Xuanxuan, Mr. Shen is not a big liar, but his father, Xuanxuan's father!"

Because she had just cried, Xuanxuan's childish voice still had a thick nasal sound. When she heard Sister-in-law Li's words, her little head shook rapidly; "He is not daddy! He is a bad person! He is a liar!"

Shen Shaoting's narrow eyes narrowed upward slightly, but he was not angry and just stared at Xuanxuan.

"Also, Mommy has already said that she will find a father for Xuanxuan." Be a daddy!”

Uncle Shan always gives her many gifts and lets her ride horses. She likes Uncle Shan.

The handsome uncle is also very kind to her. He will buy her snacks and play games with her. She also likes the handsome uncle!

He lied to her and yelled at her, disgusting! Liar! She doesn’t like him! She doesn’t want him to be her father either!

Hearing this, Shen Shaoting's eyes turned dark and heavy in an instant, as if shrouded by black clouds in the sky, and he said, "Your mother said she would find you a father?"

"Mommy has said it before, but I like Uncle Shan and Uncle Handsome, and I want them to be my daddy!"

The Adam's apple rolled, Shen Shaoting's eyes became darker and darker, waves of chills rippled through them, and indescribable anger burned wantonly in his heart.

Xuanxuan didn't know it, she looked at Sister-in-law Li with tearful eyes, her long eyelashes were wet with tears, she looked so pitiful; "Call, grandma, I want to call mommy!"

Looking at her with such eyes, Sister-in-law Li's heart softened. She reached out and took out her cell phone from her pocket.

However, the next second, those intimidating eyes shot over her, and Mrs. Li had no choice but to put the phone back again.

"You are bad! You are bad! You are the big bad guy! You are the biggest bad guy in the world! Rotten duck eggs! Rotten preserved eggs! Rotten eggs!"

Xuanxuan naturally saw it, looking at Shen Shaoting, her little eyes were full of burning flames, bad guy!

"Who taught you to curse?" Shen Shaoting's narrow eyes suddenly narrowed. What kind of nonsense did that woman teach his daughter?

Xuanxuan was still a little afraid of Shen Shaoting. On one side of her small body, she hugged Sister Li's waist with both hands and did not look at him.

After getting up, he walked back to the cloakroom without saying a word, changed his clothes, and then walked out of the apartment. Sister-in-law Li shouted softly from behind: "Mr. Shen, you haven't had breakfast yet."

"Take her to have breakfast, and then Assistant Chen will send you to a place. Also, don't let the little lady touch the mobile phone, otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences..."

A deep voice drifted in, and then the figure disappeared from sight.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when Ye Ziqing rushed to S City. She didn't have breakfast, but just drank a cup of coffee and rushed to Shen Shaoting's apartment.

She reached out and pressed the doorbell for five minutes, but no one came to open the door. It seemed that no one was in the apartment.

Trying, she pressed the password where she entered it. It was the password from four years ago, but what she didn't expect was that the apartment door actually opened!

Four years ago and four years later, it turned out that the code to the apartment door had not been changed.

Frowning, Ye Ziqing walked in quickly. There was no one in the living room, and then she went to the bedroom.

There was no one in the bedroom, but when her peripheral vision inadvertently spotted the intact set of cosmetics on the dressing table, she was slightly startled.

That set of cosmetics was the one he gave her four years ago. When he left, she didn't take it with her, just like she didn't take anything related to him with him!

However, whether to throw away the cosmetics or not is his right and has nothing to do with her.

Withdrawing her gaze, she turned around and went to the next room. There was a faint apple fragrance in the room, which was the smell of the shampoo she bought for Xuanxuan.

In this way, she could be sure that Xuanxuan must have slept here last night. So where was Xuanxuan taken by him now?

Holding back the anger and anxiety in her heart, Ye Ziqing dialed her cell phone. After a moment, the call was connected, and she said directly: "Shen Shaoting, what on earth are you going to do--"

"Ms. Ye, the president is in a meeting right now." It was Assistant Chen's voice that interrupted her.

"So, when can he finish the meeting?"

"Ms. Ye, I don't know this either, I'm sorry."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Ziqing decided to go to the Shen Group. She must explain Xuanxuan's matter to Shen Shaoting in person today!

When I rushed to Shen's Consortium, I was told by the front desk lady that I couldn't see President Shen without an appointment.

She called Assistant Chen again. Fortunately, Assistant Chen did not say the same thing as the front desk lady and asked her to take the elevator to the fifty-second floor.

The fifty-second floor was the president's office. There were not many staff. Assistant Chen was standing outside the president's office. When he saw Ye Ziqing, he invited her into the president's office.

Sitting down on the sofa, Assistant Chen asked, "Do you want Miss Ye to drink tea or coffee?"

At this moment, Ye Ziqing was not in the mood to drink at all. She only cared about one question; "No need, when can the meeting be finished?"

"Please wait patiently, Miss Ye. I'm not sure about the time." Assistant Chen still asked the secretary to make a cup of tea and bring it in.

"Okay, thank you." Ye Ziqing said, thanking Assistant Chen, and then said, "Excuse me, which floor is the conference room on?"

Although Assistant Chen didn't know what her intention was, he still answered truthfully: "Forty-eighth floor."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Ziqing stood up, walked out of the president's office, and walked towards the 48th floor.

After being slightly startled, Assistant Chen quickly followed after coming to his senses, feeling that something was not quite right.

However, Assistant Chen's move was obviously a little late. By the time he caught up, the door of the conference room had already been pushed open by Ye Ziqing.
