Shen Xi Ming stood up, picking up his suit jacket and said coldly, "Alright, I'll grant you your wish. We'll work together as you wish. The condition is that you use my son in exchange."

With her son by her side, at the very least, they would be able to have the only connection.

Qin Xiaoshui's body shook violently, before she quickly got up, "Shen Xuming, what are you trying to say?"

He had already taken a step out of the door with his long legs. Qin Xiaohai chased her to the door, and only when a gust of cold wind blew did she realize that her clothes were already half faded. She quickly hid behind the door and watched as the man disappeared into the corridor.

Qin Xiaotao returned to her room and quickly took out her cell phone. She skillfully pressed a set of numbers until a familiar number appeared in front of her. It was only then that she realized she had memorized his phone number.

After a moment's hesitation, she pressed the dial button.

At the end of the ringtone, the phone finally connected.

"Hey, Shen Xi Ming, what's the meaning of this? Speak clearly, Xiao Han is my son, it has nothing to do with you. I still have to tell you a few times." There was an unconcealable sense of urgency and unease in his words.

After two seconds of silence, his lazy voice slowly came back, "Oh? "Is that so?"

Without further explanation, Qin Xiaotao waited for a while and realized that he wouldn't say anything else. She quickly said, "Of course, Xiao Han has nothing to do with you. You are not allowed to touch my son."

"No? "Heh heh, Qin Xiaohai, was your son born by yourself?"

"You … I... It has nothing to do with you anyway, "Qin Xiaotao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down." If I'm not careful, I won't be able to recover.

"Shen Xi Ming, let me tell you, if you dare touch my son, I will definitely make you regret it." His voice was much quieter than before.

Shen Xi Ming smirked, "I'll wait and see." He hung up the phone, started the car, and drove out of the underground garage. Nana and the others, who had just come back from supper, saw a luxurious car drive out of the hotel's garage, and couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Qin Xiaotao heard a beep coming from the phone. She opened her mouth, but swallowed her words back in. He hung up on her, for the first time.

In these five years, everything had changed. A bitter smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

She dialed her mother's number, but it was her father who answered. "Hello, little seep, are you here yet?"

"Yes, we've arrived. We arrived in the afternoon and were always busy. I forgot to call you guys. Where's mom and Xiao Han?"

"Oh, your mom is bathing Xiao Han. Just you wait." A rustling sound could be heard from the other side. After a while, a son's voice could be heard, "Mommy, I missed you so much. When are you coming back?"

The voice on the other side seemed to have been amplified, making it seem somewhat empty.

Hearing her son's voice, her floating heart gradually sank into the ground.

"Mommy misses you too. You have to listen to your grandparents at home, don't be naughty, okay?"

However, his son's next words made the warm atmosphere a bit weird, "Mommy, did you go to China to look for Daddy? Did you see Daddy? Does he want to see Xiao Han? You have to tell Daddy that Xiao Han misses him. "

The Qin couple were naturally amazed. As for Qin Xiaohai, even though they could feel the chill through the screen, Qin Zihan, who was in the bathtub, couldn't help but shiver.

Qin Xiaotao couldn't help but hold her forehead. That little fellow had clearly promised her that he wouldn't mention that she had met him in London again. She really believed it.

Sure enough, his mother picked up the phone, "Little Hai, what's going on? What dad? Did you see him? " Wang Lianxi said in a low voice as she walked out of the bathroom with her cellphone.

"About that, mom, don't listen to Xiao Han's nonsense. I'll explain this to you when I get back."

At the other end of the line, there was a silence of two seconds before an indiscernible sigh could be heard. Wang Lianxi said softly, "Little Hai, Mom just wanted to tell you to give yourself a chance. Don't let yourself down."

The caring words of her mother flowed into her heart. She recalled the cold and hateful gaze Shen Ximing had given her just now. It made her feel both unfamiliar and terrifying at the same time. His heart throbbed and his eyes felt sore.

"En, Mom, you guys rest early." After saying so, she quickly hung up the phone. She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, her mother would notice that something was amiss with her.

Having implicated her parents in the exile with her, she was already ashamed enough, and she didn't want to place any more burdens on the two elders.

After hanging up the phone, the Qin couple naturally began to interrogate their grandson.

"Xiao Han, tell grandma, why did you say that just now?"

Qin Zihan tilted her head, her eyes crystal-clear from the heat and looked very cute. I was just casually saying it, is my dad not Chinese? " His puzzled expression was innocent.

The two elders of the Qin family tightly clenched their face. They didn't know whether to be happy or worried, but Qin Zilin looked at his precious grandson with some doubts. "Xiao Han, who is this father you're talking about?"

"Shen Xi Ming, I saw it when Mommy was watching TV. Daddy is on TV."

"Why did you say he was your dad's?" Wang Lianxi subconsciously asked. However, no one had told him who his father was. Since these words suddenly popped out, the couple naturally became extremely surprised.

Qin Zihan scratched his head with an innocent face, "Isn't it so? Mommy used to watch him on TV. "

The couple looked at each other with a complicated expression. Then, Qin Zilin rubbed his little head and sighed inaudibly, "Xiao Han, if you see him, you have to tell grandpa and grandma."

Qin Zihan revealed an innocent smile before raising her head with a righteous expression, "Then I'll drag dad home and not let him leave Xiao Han's side ever again."

The couple forced themselves to smile. Naturally, their emotions were complicated. Qin Zilin pulled Xiao Han up from the bathtub. "Here, put on some clothes." He dried him with a towel.

She had not slept all night. She got up at dawn.

In the early morning of city A, everything was quiet and peaceful, as if still awake, but she knew it was only the calm before the storm, as it was now in her heart.

After getting into a taxi, he naturally gave the address as if he had never left before.

When she opened the door, the room was still the same as it had been five years ago when they left in a hurry. The glass of milk on the table that she hadn't had time to drink had dried to a circle of stains, and a thick layer of dust and debris had fallen from the open balcony window.

His parents' room and his own room were a bit messy. Thinking about it, this must have been left behind by his father when he hurriedly packed his clothes.

Naturally, she cleaned up the way she came from. In her subconscious, she had always wanted to return this place to its original state, even though she did not intend to stay in this city for long.

On the contrary, she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, to leave this place where she couldn't control her heart.

As she was cleaning out her parents' room, she suddenly saw from the corner of her eye that the cabinet at the bottom of the bookcase, which had been locked all year round, was now slightly ajar.

She had never seen it open before and thought her parents were holding something precious, but she said it was false not to be curious.

She opened the drawer and saw that it was empty except for the bottom drawer. There was a notebook the same color as the cabinet, and she picked it up. The cover was blank, the first blank, the second blank …

Suddenly, two cards dropped from the inside and Qin Xiaohai picked them up.
