Shi Xingcan let her leave only after she and Bai Ronghua had explained Xiao Baozi's background clearly.
After the room was as quiet as it was in the beginning, Bai Ronghua sat on the sofa in her bedroom and thought for a long time.
She didn't mind having a grandson like Xiao Baozi, who was very sensible and cute, but in her heart, she still couldn't accept the fact that a child who wasn't related to her son in the future would be able to meddle with the affairs of the Qin family.
But... Xiao Baozi was also a pitiful child. If not for Shi Xingcan, he would probably be living a miserable life under water everyday …
Thinking of this, she heaved a long sigh. In the end, Bai Ronghua was still a kind and soft-hearted person.
Shi Xingcan, who had already left her bedroom, was feeling extremely uneasy.
What if Bai Ronghua didn't think through it, or was about to throw it away? Was she going to send Xiao Baozi to an orphanage?
Shi Xingcan thought about what Nian Wang and Ghost had said about how some assassination organisations would look for them from the orphanage …
No! Absolutely not!
In the midst of his panic, Shi Xingcan thought again: Who leaked the news to Bai Ronghua?
The only ones who knew the truth other than her and Qin Yanmo were Qu Zhong and … Su Qing.
Shi Xingcan lowered her eyes and started to ponder deeply. Qu Zhong was definitely not stupid enough to challenge Qin Yanmo's authority now. The only ones left were the fake Su Qing and the missing Han Yue!
When Yan Mo comes back, he must tell him about this …
Shi Xingcan thought that she would definitely tell Qin Yanmo about this when she returned.
Her phone vibrated, interrupting her train of thought. Shi Xingcan took out his phone and realised that it was a text message from an unfamiliar number.
His heartbeat suddenly sped up, and Shi Xingcan nervously clicked on the text message.
What he saw was the haughty tone.
"Shi Xingcan, isn't it great to be the Madam Qin? In less than a few days, you'll be able to go down to my Meng Xi's grave! '
Her short sentence caused Shi Xingcan's heart to skip a beat. She knew that Su Qing would return for revenge, but she never thought that she would return within a few months!
She was more or less aware of the company's affairs. Yan Mo had told her that 'nether lotus flower' was a company founded by Su Qing, and the power backing her was the Drona family that he belonged to.
Thinking about it, Shi Xingcan started to worry, Gao Yi had already been killed by Ghost, would Gost be in danger?
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened and the bone-piercing cold wind became even more arrogant. Shi Xingcan would glance out of the window every now and then so that she could see Qin Yanmo at first glance.
In the end, the first to return were Du Ming and Xiao Baozi.
Shi Xingcan had not seen Du Ming for a long time, so when she saw him again, he ran over in pleasant surprise.
"Dad!" "Why are you here!?" Shi Xingcan laughed and rushed to the front of the carriage, and impatiently knocked on the window.
Du Ming slowly rolled down the window and said with a smile, "I'll bring the two children here for you."
This afternoon, Bai Ronghua suddenly sent her two children to her house. When he got home from work, he saw the nanny and found out that Bai Ronghua had come over.
After the phone call, he brought the two children back with the nanny.
Shi Xingcan blinked her eyes. Only now did she remember that she had not seen the figures of the two children at home for the entire afternoon.
She couldn't help but blame herself. As a mother, she had no idea that her child had already disappeared …
While speaking, the nanny had already opened the car door, with one hand holding Xiao Jiaozi, and the other holding Xiao Baozi, she got off the car.
Shi Xingcan took Xiao Jiaozi and caressed Xiao Baozi's head while smiling. She asked: "Are you playing outside today?"
Xiao Baozi looked like he was in a bad mood. After saying 'fun' in a dejected tone, he ran into the house.
Shi Xingcan was startled. Did he know something?
Du Ming also looked at Xiao Baozi with some suspicion, and said: "This child has been in a bad mood ever since I returned home, is he feeling unwell?"
Shi Xingcan forced out a smile and said: "Children have a lot of things to do, I'll go take a look."
After he finished speaking, he carried Xiao Jiaozi and ran in the direction that Xiao Baozi had left.
Du Ming was a very sharp merchant, he could feel that Shi Xingcan's emotions were a little off. Could it be that he had quarreled with Qin Yanmo?
A parent's quarrel would have a huge impact on their child. Was Xiao Baozi in a bad mood because of this matter?
Du Ming originally wanted to ask Bai Ronghua, but when he saw that Bai Ronghua was also conflicted and depressed, he did not know what to say.
Bai Ronghua was very surprised to see Du Ming, but in the next second, she remembered that she was afraid that he would lose his temper at Xiao Baozi's hands, so she sent him and Xiao Jiaozi to Du Ming's home.
Du Ming looked at her worriedly. "Did something happen?"
Bai Ronghua forced a smile and said: "I'm fine, it's just that my body is a bit uncomfortable."
Du Ming opened his mouth, but did not say anything.
Bai Ronghua took note of his expression and asked: "What's the matter?"
Du Ming laughed as he shook his head, turning around to look for the two children to play.
After Qin Yanmo returned home, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange.
Although Bai Ronghua was still smiling, but he could feel that underneath the smile … Worry?
"Yan Mo, you're busy with work, eat more." Bai Ronghua gently put a meatball into Qin Yanmo's bowl.
Qin Yanmo accepted it as if nothing happened, and his gaze continued to linger around the crowd on the table.
When he received Shi Xingcan's message in the afternoon, he felt that something was amiss. She did not tell him about Bai Ronghua's reaction.
Could Bai Ronghua be angry?
Qin Yanmo was unsure, he could only pretend that he did not know anything.
Du Ming was also acutely aware of the change in the atmosphere.
Why did the Qin family, which had always been harmonious, become somewhat … Suppression?
Du Ming looked at Bai Ronghua worriedly. He could feel that the source of the change started from Bai Ronghua.
After dinner, Qin Yanmo asked Du Ming to take care of the two children first, and directly walked in Shi Xingcan's direction.
Shi Xingcan was still hesitating on how she should reply to Qin Yanmo when she turned around and saw his figure.
Qin Yanmo held her hand and walked to the balcony of the study, asking, "What did you say to Mom? Why do I feel like she's not in a good mood? "
Shi Xingcan took out her phone with a bitter smile and showed him the message, "Mom already knows about Xiao Baozi's background."
Qin Yanmo's expression suddenly changed, and the already desolate and cold wind became even more bone-piercing.
He took Shi Xingcan's phone, his face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping from it, "Previously, you feigned death pretty well, huh!"
Shi Xingcan was not as angry as him, her eyes revealed a hint of worry: "It's only been a few months since the news broadcast about her suicide, how did Su Qing dare to come back?"
It didn't match her personality.
This was also what Qin Yanmo was worried about. Right now, he simply did not know how strong the Drona family was so he did not dare to act rashly.
Was Su Qing being ordered to do this, or was it her own will?
If it was directed by the Drona family, then what was the goal of the Drona family?
Threatening him to tell him how powerful he was? Or was it just to confuse him?
Qin Yanmo didn't know.
"Yan Mo..." Seeing that his face was still calm, Shi Xingcan could not help but ask worriedly.
Qin Yanmo eased the tension and gently caressed her cheeks, saying: "I will chat with mom, don't worry."
Shi Xingcan's face was still filled with worry: Then what should I do about it? Didn't you say that she was backed by that clan … "
Qin Yanmo laughed with confidence and strength: "Relax, with me here, there's no need to be afraid."
Shi Xingcan blinked her eyes. She felt like her heart had been stabbed.
She could not help but throw herself into his embrace, and say in a soft, spoiled tone, "Yan Mo, you're so good."
Qin Yanmo gently caressed her head. His originally neat hair was messed up by him as Shi Xingcan pouted his lips and looked at him aggrievedly.
Qin Yanmo chuckled as his fingers gently smoothed down her messy hair.
Shi Xingcan bit her lower lip, raised her head and looked at him with her beautiful eyes.
Qin Yanmo's heartstrings moved, and a slight smile involuntarily formed on his lips.
"Go back to your room first. I'll talk to Mom about it." Qin Yanmo kissed her lightly on the cheek and left the balcony.
On one hand, she really did like that sensible child, and on the other hand, she couldn't help but be upset over the issue of his blood ties. If he really inherited Qu Zhong's or Han Yue's personality …
So when Qin Yanmo appeared in front of her, she wasn't surprised at all.
"Yan Mo, what's the matter?" It was rare for her to have a bad expression, and even his voice was usually cold.
She was cold, but Qin Yanmo's attitude was not any better.
He originally did not know how to face Bai Ronghua because of his matter with her, and now that Bai Ronghua had become estranged from him because of her matter with her, he was even more at a loss as to how to communicate with her.
However, Qin Yanmo was still Qin Yanmo after all, and would definitely not flee just because of a small matter.
"Mom, do you already know about Xiao Baozi?"
Bai Ronghua did not expect him to be so direct. She was stunned instead and nodded slightly: "Why do you want to raise a child that does not belong to you."
Before Qin Yanmo could say anything, Bai Ronghua said again: "He isn't even Xing Can's child!"
"It doesn't matter whose child Xiao Baozi is." Qin Yanmo looked at Bai Ronghua helplessly, "Can't you just take it that I brought back a child from an orphanage?"
"I'd rather you adopted one from the orphanage." Bai Ronghua looked at him seriously, "At least I can still accept the birth of that child."
Xiao Baozi was the son of Qu Zhong and Han Yue, but Bai Ronghua knew about the relationship between Qu Zhong and Han Yue.
"What are you worried about?" Qin Yanmo asked.
"I'm afraid he'll be like his real father or mother." Bai Ronghua's tone was filled with unspeakable worry, "Have you forgotten the sins that Qin City has committed?"
"Xiao Baozi is a very sensible child." Qin Yanmo said with a confident tone, "I can teach him well."
"Of course I know that he is a sensible child." Bai Ronghua's tone was very certain as well, "But personality is something that can be inherited."
"Mom, don't you believe me?" Qin Yanmo looked serious.
Bai Ronghua opened her mouth, and after a few seconds of silence, she lightly said: "Do you know how much you resemble your father?"
Qin Yanmo opened his eyes and looked into hers: "Do you really think so?"
Bai Ronghua realized that she had misspoken, her entire body was stiff as she sat on the ground, neither admitting nor denying.
Qin Yanmo said again: "I understand."
Then she stood up from the sofa, feeling a little sad. "I'll go back to my room first. See you."
When the room became quiet once again, Bai Ronghua's body began to tremble.
In her eyes, there was regret, escape, and fear. Her heart was filled with fear of losing Qin Yanmo.
After a long while, a teardrop slowly rolled down his face. The corner of his eyes were slightly red, and his face was covered in tears.
