Chapter 188 Leave It All to Me

"So you hid here?"

Little treasure withdrew into ye zhiqiao's arms and nodded.

"You did the right thing." Gu mohan patted her head again and encouraged her. It seemed to be very effective to watch some safety education movies with children, at least in today's situation, she would know how to protect herself.

Ye zhiqiao thought carefully about what little treasure had just said and asked doubtfully, "How did little treasure know they were coming to take you away?"

After her reminder, gu mohan also thought of this: "Did they see you?" Immediately, he denied his speculation. The intruder was definitely not friendly. If he really saw little treasure, then little treasure would never be here now.

Sure enough, little treasure shook his head and said, "I didn't see it. I hid it quickly. I heard them looking around the house and saying they wanted to take the children in the house. I was the only child in this house."

"They didn't find you, so they turned the room like this?" Gu mohan asked.

"Yes." Little treasure looked at him and asked, "Daddy, are you and aunt ye coming back from somewhere else? I heard them say your car came over and ran away, but you don't have to drive to aunt jane's company."

Gu mohan listened patiently to little treasure finish these words, then took her from ye zhiqiao's arms, rubbed her head with his minibus, and said happily, "Yes, you guessed right, good baby."

He was so glad that he had such a smart daughter, so thoughtful and sensible that he could immediately think of ways to protect himself when he was in danger, sometimes even more alert than an adult.

But the more clever little treasure was, the less he felt as a father, or rather, scared.

Just now, when he saw the messy room, he was completely stunned. When he called his daughter twice but didn't get an answer, his head gave a "Bang," as if something had exploded.

If it wasn't for the sofa that was a little away from the wall, if it wasn't for little treasure's thin body, if they hadn't come back in time, the man who broke in moved the sofa... All sorts of possibilities, the consequences he couldn't imagine.

Seeing his eyes staring straight at the crack of the sofa, ye zhiqiao immediately understood what he was thinking, and her brows furrowed more and more tightly.

What gu mohan was afraid of was not what she was afraid of. To her, little treasure was more than her family. If something happened to little treasure, she could not imagine what would happen to her.

Everything that happened tonight was too strange. Although it looked like a false alarm so far and there was no other disaster except for her foot injury, she could not help but panic at the thought that someone was secretly eyeing her and her children.

In two or three hours, the mood of the three of them had changed dramatically. The original warm and happy mood was shrouded in a cloud, making it impossible to even force a smile.

Sensing that the atmosphere was too low, gu mohan leaned over to hold ye zhiqiao's hand and said comfortingly, "Don't worry too much. It's all over. I've already sent someone to investigate today's matter. Leave the rest to me."

"Mengqi..." Ye zhiqiao frowned and said slowly, "Mengqi will never harm me. The first call must have been weird. Do you want me to help you..."

"No." Gu mohan looked at her with a serious face and said in a serious tone, "You don't need to do anything. As long as you and little treasure are happy, what you do is the best help for me."

Ye zhiqiao looked back at him and nodded gently for a long time.

She knew what mo han was thinking, and today's events would certainly have no less impact on him than on her, but he was a man, and there were many emotions that could not be expressed as recklessly as her. He was worried about her and little treasure's situation, but he didn't want her and little treasure to worry as much as he did, so what she could do now was to try not to cause trouble for him, and to give him the greatest degree of tolerance and support.

Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and saw that little treasure's round eyes, which were nestled in gu mohan's arms, were half narrowed. She was clearly very sleepy, but she didn't seem to want to close her eyes. She took the little girl over and asked softly, "Is little treasure sleepy? Can auntie take you to sleep?"

"En... Okay..." Little treasure's expression seemed a little reluctant, and after a while he asked ye zhiqiao, "How about aunt ye and little treasure sleep together? Little treasure wants you to sleep with him."

"Well, aunt ye was going to sleep with little treasure."

Ye zhiqiao carried little treasure back to the bedroom, pulled the quilt over the two people, and patted her back regularly with her palm.

Although little treasure was smart, he was also a five-year-old child. It was normal for him to be afraid of what happened just now, but in order not to worry the adults, he always narrowed his eyes and smiled in the living room, pretending that he was fine.

The more ye zhiqiao thought about it, the more distressed she felt. She whispered, "Little treasure, go to bed. Tomorrow morning, aunt ye will make you a vegetable porridge with lots and lots of shrimps. When aunt ye's feet are ready in two days, let's go to the amusement park with dad, okay?"

"Really? Okay..." Little treasure scratched his nose and muttered, "I'm going to buy that colorful cotton candy, it's soft and sweet..."

With that, the little guy swallowed and licked his lips in a daze.

Ye zhiqiao smiled gently and patted her, "Then you must sleep well. Don't think about anything. Auntie is here with you. Dad is out protecting us. Any big bad guy will be beaten away."

"... Yeah."

Little treasure vaguely agreed in his half-asleep state, and his fingers, which had been gripping ye zhiqiao's clothes, slowly loosened.

In a few minutes, the soft and tender little guy had already fallen asleep sweetly with his big fluffy bear in his arms.

Ye zhi got out of bed with light hands and feet, put the quilt back on her, then opened the door and went back to the living room.

Gu mohan was still waiting there. Seeing that ye zhiqiao had come out without any accident, he pointed to the bedroom and asked, "Are you asleep?"

"Asleep." Ye zhiqiao agreed and sat down beside gu mohan. She opened her mouth several times, but she still didn't say what she should say.

Just when gu mohan thought that tonight would be an exception, ye zhiqiao finally cheered up and said, "Go back and rest."

No matter how late it was, ye zhiqiao would not leave him at home for the night. This apartment was different from gu mohan's villa. In the villa, she stayed to take care of little treasure, but in the apartment, gu mohan had no reason to stay.
