When Ye Anne was boarding the plane, every step she took seemed like she was stepping on a blade. She turned around and looked at the bustling waiting room, her eyes filled with pain and reluctance. But when she thought of her daughter, she quickly turned her head and continued to walk forward, step by step, until she boarded the plane and sat properly beside Zhao Jun. She did not look back once during this period.

She couldn't bear to part with her parents, and couldn't bear to part with Qin Xu. But as a mother, she had to be strong right now.

The plane took off, and in order to suppress the complicated feelings in his heart, Ye Anne opened up the display in front of him, planning to randomly find a movie to watch, so as to pass the time, so that he would not be immersed in the sadness of leaving his hometown.

But while she was looking for a movie, she accidentally opened the "News of the Day".

Ye Anne did not care what she read, so she clicked on the《 News of the Day》 and continued to read.

Due to the sudden earthquake in Z City, most of the news was about the disaster in Z City.

Ye Anne thought about her parents and Qin Xu who were still in Z City, and became more alert, focusing on listening.

According to news reports, the earthquake in Z city was of medium scale. However, due to the fact that the buildings in the city center were built with consideration of earthquake resistance, there was almost no collapse of residential buildings. Therefore, except for some people who were hit by debris, there were no deaths yet. On the other hand, the disaster in the suburbs was more severe. As of now, it had already been confirmed that 20 people had died.

Ye Anne reckoned that when the earthquake happened, the Mr. Ye would not go to the suburbs, so they should be safe now.

But as for Qin Xu, Ye Anne was a little uncertain …

Just as Ye Anne was about to speculate about Qin Xu's possible range of movement, he suddenly heard Qin’s from the news:

"When the earthquake struck in Z city, a fire and explosion happened at an abandoned chemical factory on the southern outskirts of the city. Due to the intense earthquake, the fire rescue was affected and the fire spread. It's been reported that one person at the scene fainted from an injury and has been sent to the hospital for medical treatment. The one who was injured is likely the CEO of the Qin’s Group, Qin Xu … "

Ye Anne quickly recognized from the news reports that the abandoned chemical factory was where Zhao Jun had imprisoned her.

Qin Xu would not go there for no reason. He must have come to find her …

The news did not mention anything about Qin Xu's injuries, or whether he had woken up. Ye Anne exhaled in pain and started to hate herself for calling him for help.

If she had not thought that he was smart and made that call, Qin Xu would not have been injured, nor would Zhao Jun be angered, and had the thought of killing Ye Zixing. Now, she didn't want to be separated from Qin Xu by a great distance either. He didn't know whether or not he would have the chance to meet him again in this lifetime …

Ye Anne's eyes slowly turned red, and a teardrop uncontrollably fell to the ground.

Zhao Jun, who was sitting beside her, had also heard the contents of the news report.

Since Qin Xu was injured in the fire, he was naturally happy to see it happen. However, he tilted his head and glanced at the teardrops on Ye Anne's face, and with great difficulty, he felt a bit of happiness from being angry, like a balloon filled with air.

Moreover, not only was he unhappy, his chest felt a little stuffy. Hence, he sneered and asked Ye Anne: "What? Are you heartbroken? You want to go back and see Qin Xu? "

Ye Anne remained silent and did not answer Zhao Jun's question.

Zhao Jun understood Ye Anne's silence to be tacit agreement, and his expression immediately became even more sinister.

"Then I'll give you a chance to regret," Zhao Jun said coldly. "Stay by my side, or once the plane lands, I can immediately buy you a return ticket, but the moment you board the return plane, I will immediately kill Ye Zixing. You can think about it and give me the answer before the plane lands. "

"There's no need to wait. I already have the answer." Ye Anne turned her head to look at Zhao Jun, and replied: "I choose to stay by your side."

Hearing Ye Anne's reply, Zhao Jun's expression became slightly better, and he said: "I must think this through carefully, this is the last time, if you want to regret it in the future, it's already too late."

Ye Anne said resolutely, "As long as Zi Xing can continue to live well, I will always be by your side."

The moment she decided to board the plane, she had already made preparations not to meet Qin Xu again. Although saying that she wouldn't feel sad was fake, she wouldn't go back on her words for the sake of her daughter.

Zhao Jun finally smiled, and the corners of his mouth carried a faint sense of pride.

Only then was he willing to let Ye Anne go, and he asked the flight attendant for a blanket before lying down on the chair and dozing off.

Ye Anne stared blankly out of the window at the clouds flying past. His heart was empty, as if someone had gouged it out.

A few hours later, the plane arrived in Italy. Ye Anne followed Zhao Jun and left the airport together, and after riding for another hour or so, they finally stopped at a simple little town.

They lived in an empty house in a small town. There was no cell phone in the room, no fixed phone, and even the Internet connection had been cut.

Ye Anne knew that Zhao Jun did this on purpose to prevent him from contacting the citizens of the country. She tactfully compared them without expressing any objections, but asked Zhao Jun when she would be able to meet him.

Before boarding the plane, Zhao Jun had promised her that as soon as the plane landed and they settled down in Italy, he would bring her here with him.

But after urging Zhao Jun for two days straight, on the third day of their arrival in Italy, she finally saw Ye Zixing.

Ye Zixing was brought over by a man and a woman.

The two were both around the age of middle-aged. The woman looked like a nanny specially looking after Ye Zixing, while the man seemed to be Zhao Jun's man.

When Ye Zixing saw Ye Anne, he shouted for his mother and ran towards him.

Ye Anne caught him, and held him in her arms for a good while before releasing him.

She first checked Ye Zixing's body carefully, and only after discovering that there were no bruises on his body did she finally relax a little.

Only, although Ye Zixing was not injured, he had only been gone for a week, and he had already lost a lot of weight. He looked at a wooden log with a dull gaze, making Ye Anne feel pain in his heart.

"Mom, when are we going home?" Ye Zixing leaned into Ye Anne and asked with bright eyes.

At that time, Zhao Jun's men took Ye Zixing away in the name of his friends. In the earlier years, when Ye Anne was carrying stars by herself, there would often be people who would entrust stars to their friends for temporary care. Ye Zixing was already used to this mode, so he did not suspect anything.

He still did not know what had happened to his and his mother's bodies, hence he asked this question only after seeing Ye Anne.

But home … I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back.

On the side, Zhao Jun was still standing at the door, observing the interaction between Ye Anne and himself.

Ye Anne paused for a moment, then replied her son: "We're not going back, we'll stay here from now on, okay?"

"But …" What about Daddy? " Ye Zixing frowned and asked.

He had only just found his father, and it was right when he was sticking to Qin Xu that he didn't want to be separated from his father.

Therefore, Ye Anne thought about it and made up a fake reason to coax him: "I've broken up with your father, from now on, it's only the two of us, we'll live here together and won't go back."

"Why?" Ye Zixing frowned, he obviously couldn't accept this situation for a while. He paused for a bit, and then asked anxiously: "Then what about Grandfather and Grandmother? Do we not need Grandfather or Grandmother anymore? "

Ye Anne was startled by the question, and her eyes reddened: "Of course not, when you grow up and miss them, you can go see them."

"But I miss them now!" Ye Zixing suddenly became anxious. He could not understand why his parents, who had finally reunited with each other, would suddenly be separated like this. He couldn't accept it either...

Ye Zixing felt that the current Ye Anne was extremely unfamiliar with him. He shook his head in disbelief as he struggled to leave Ye Anne's embrace, "I want to go home. I miss my maternal grandfather and grandma now. I want to go see them …"

"Ye Zixing!" Ye Anne suddenly shouted out his name.

Ye Zixing shuddered and stopped struggling. Previously, his mother would only call him by his full name when he was naughty.

However, at that time, his mother's face was angry, and her tone was full of reproach. But now … Ye Zixing did not hear the rebuke from his mother's tone. Instead, he heard sadness and pleading.

Something was wrong with his intuition...

Finally, he leaned back into Ye Anne's embrace once more and vigilantly looked towards the door at Zhao Jun, who had a cold expression.

Ye Anne had just felt Ye Zixing's resistance towards him, so she shouted his name.

Zhao Jun was still monitoring them from the door, she had no way to explain to the stars what happened.

Besides, they were still young and knew that the two of them were imprisoned. Not only would that not help them, it would even frighten them.

In the days that she had been in Italy, not only had Zhao Jun cut off all means of communication between his family and the outside world, he hadn't even allowed her to leave his house. She didn't want her daughter to encounter such a situation in the future.

Only when he was completely ignorant of his substar would Zhao Jun and the rest relax their control over him, allowing him to obtain greater freedom.

Sensing that the person in her arms had become docile once again, and that she was dependent on her, Ye Anne tenderly kissed on the top of Ye Zixing's head.

Of course, she would not give up just like that. She would let her son live under surveillance and imprisonment …
