It had been a long time since Ning Xiaoxiao had come to this apartment on the south side of the city. However, she still invited her aunty to clean it every week, so their home wouldn't be so dirty that they couldn't settle down when they suddenly came to the south side of the city.

The little bun was nestled in Ning Xiaoxiao's embrace, his eyes like that of a deer's as he sized up the room in front of him.

The two small rooms were painted green, and the furnishings at home were filled with a childish scent. The air seemed to have a faintly discernible smell of green grass.

That was the smell of nature. Little bun, who had been staying at the hospital all day, had smelled disinfectant for the whole day. Now that he saw such a scene, his mood naturally improved a lot.

Ning Xiaoxiao was no longer feeling sick from lying on top of Ning Xiaoxiao. Seeing that the little bun's spirit had somewhat recovered, she put him on the sofa and went to the kitchen to boil some porridge for him.

Behind the sofa was a whole row of butterfly specimens. There was no lack of things that were extremely rare among them. The little bun's line of sight was quickly attracted by it.

The child was playing on the sofa while the woman was picking rice in the kitchen. With a single glance, one could tell that it was a warm scene.

However, the people in this peaceful scene had no idea what kind of place this tranquility originated from. What kind of scene was this?

After the little bun finished bathing in the hot spring, his body hadn't been feeling very comfortable. It hadn't even been a week, and sure enough, he had a fever.

The Lu family's family doctor came to fetch a bottle for several days. Little bun's fever did not subside and the child's mouth was still chattering about Mommy.

Lu Qing guessed that the little bun's illness was due to him suffering from a cold at the time, and his heart ailment was probably because he wanted his mother to think it out.

As a result, he decided to bring little bun to the Second Courtyard. Little bun was indeed Lu Qing's son. Originally, he was so hot that he couldn't even open his eyes, but after seeing the two words, "Second Courtyard", he suddenly became spirited.

His eyes burning with desire, he stared straight ahead, waiting to see his mother. Lu Qing placed the little bun on the ground, pointed at the door to the examination room not far away, and said to the little bun.

"Mommy's inside. Daddy's waiting for you!"

The little bun was probably going to see his Mommy soon, so he didn't hear much of what Daddy said after that. He only knew that Mommy was inside the door.

There was a reason why Lu Qing had the little bun look for Ning Xiaoxiao alone. After coming into contact with her a few times, Ning Xiaoxiao intentionally avoided him, but he knew that she was forced to do so by the little bun.

Lu Qing couldn't bear to see her in such a difficult situation. He might as well just wait outside for the two of them. Since Ning Xiaoxiao didn't like him, he wouldn't appear too often. It would be enough as long as he could quietly take care of them from behind.

From the moment Ning Xiaoxiao brought little bun to the emergency room, to the moment Ning Xiaoxiao carefully wiped little bun's palms, Lu Qing had been quietly watching them from outside the door.

It was only when Lu Qing saw that the little bun's hanging bottle was almost finished that Lu Qing decided to go downstairs. The weather was so cold, so he thought to turn on the heat in the car.

However, just as he was halfway there, he was stopped by Ye Yutong. Lu Qing's eyes were filled with coldness; he really didn't know what else to say to Ye Yutang.

"Brother Qing!"

When Ye Yutong saw Lu Qing, her tone of voice subconsciously softened along with her body. This was the voice that Lu Qing had once liked the most. She hadn't expected that she would like it so much before, but now, she was disgusted with it.

However, what Lu Qing did not know was that in the period that he was stopped by Ye Yutang, he had already become the unforgivable person in Ning Xiaoxiao's heart, giving up his wife and son.

It wasn't easy for Lu Qing to send Ye Yutang away, so he hurried to the emergency room. The mother and son pair were long gone.

Lu Qing was instantly dumbfounded. He couldn't get through to Ning Xiaoxiao's phone either. Where could a woman take a sick child at night?

The first place that Lu Qing thought of was the Lu Family. Ning Xiaoxiao was currently living in the Ning Family, so she wouldn't bring little bun to the Ning Family. The most likely place was the Lu Family.

Although Ning Xiaoxiao didn't really want to come to this place, Lu Qing drove his car and passed a red light on the way. It wasn't easy for him to get to the Lu family's villa.

The room was pitch black, and there wasn't the slightest indication that anyone had come before. However, Lu Qing still held onto a few strands of hope.

After getting out of the car, every step he took caused the anticipation in his heart to drop by a few degrees. Even when he reached the entrance of the house, he did not sense any Ning Xiaoxiao or little bun's aura.

His hands were trembling as he slowly pushed open the door. In the darkness of the room, even the moonlight outside the window had concealed his figure. Lu Qing's heart had reached the bottom of the valley.

Hearing the noise outside, Mother Li guessed that Mister and Young Master had returned, so she hurriedly went out to check.

There was no light in the room, so Mama Li could not see anything. She could only make out a vague black shadow at the entrance.

Mother Li tentatively called out, but no one answered. Mother Li casually turned on the light at the entrance.

The one who was standing there was indeed Lu Qing, but the expression on Lu Qing's face was something that Mother Li did not understand. Lu Qing was looking down at the shoe cabinet not far away.

Her eyes were black, but it seemed as if they were sparkling. There was a smile on her face that she did not understand, as if there was something she did not understand.

Mother Li called out to Mister again before pulling Lu Qing out of his thoughts.

Looking at mother Li's doubtful gaze, Lu Qing knew that Ning Xiaoxiao and little bun definitely had not returned.

Lu Qing once again turned his head to look at the shoe cabinet beside him. Grabbing the key in his hand, he ran back to his car as if he had gone mad.

As Lu Qing stepped on the throttle, his speed became faster and faster. The surroundings seemed to be reflected in his eyes. The only thing that he could not see was Ning Xiaoxiao's face.

When he had just gotten married, he came back late every night. However, no matter how late it was, the moment he opened the door, Ning Xiaoxiao would run down from the second floor and throw herself into his arms.

Of course, just like Ning Xiaoxiao, what she insisted on waiting for was the circle of lights in the shoe cabinet. When she renovated the house, the only thing Ning Xiaoxiao asked for was that circle of lights.

He hadn't understood the meaning of these lights in all these years. Just now, the darkness of the room reminded him of how many nights that circle of lights had illuminated.

Lu Qing had never been so anxious to see Ning Xiaoxiao before. He wanted to hug her, but he didn't know where she was.

Lu Qing kept driving his car all the way to the police station. The bureau chief was sitting at his desk, frowning unhappily. Tonight, Lu Qing had passed countless red lights. He was currently troubled over how to find someone.

He didn't expect to see the culprit right in front of him the moment he raised his head.
