C3

Time flew. Four years passed in the blink of an eye.

After leaving for four years, City A had undergone many changes. The city was more commercialized than four years ago, the girls on the streets were more modern than four years ago. The only thing that might not have changed was the Yattai Group.

Xia Lan who was pulled back from her thoughts took back her identity card, her beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly curved, with a smile on her face as a sign of gratitude. Her gentle and intimate feeling made the people who looked into her eyes feel extremely comfortable, like cotton in winter, making them want to get close to her.

No one knew where she had been in the past four years. Those who knew her all thought that she had been killed, or even that her bones had yet to turn cold.

Now that she had secretly returned without notifying anyone, as for why she came back, she thought … Probably because of the baby that had appeared before her eyes day and night in her dream.

At that time, she was too young. After experiencing such an unimaginable situation, she didn't have the ability and courage to face everything. After four years of transformation, she had grown up now. She wanted to return to this place where she had nightmares day and night. She wanted to face it bravely!

At the very least, she had to figure out what had happened at that time, who had plotted against her, and who had indirectly caused her child's death.

Following the interview notification, he arrived at the meeting room on the eighth floor. The door was very quiet. The empty corridor didn't look like a competitive workplace at all.

Xia Lan looked at the time, she was early.

After waiting in the meeting room for a while, the gentle sunlight shining through the curtain onto Xia Lan's slightly sad face appeared outside the window. After sitting quietly for a while, her mind unconsciously recalled the scene from four years ago …

Four years, 1,460 days. It was not a short amount of time, but it was still very clear what had happened in the past.

With a 'squeak', the door to the meeting room was pushed open from the outside. Xia Lan looked over, and thought that the other person who was interviewing with her had arrived. Unexpectedly, the person she was looking at was a beautiful little boy.

The top half of her body was covered with a plaid shirt and a bow tie. From the looks of it, this was the uniform of a kindergarten.

The little boy had a head of fluffy curly hair and looked very new. His white, chubby face had a pair of big black eyes that were rolling around, making him look extremely intelligent.

Footsteps could be heard in the distance outside the door. The little boy entered the meeting room in a panic. His small body was quite agile. He lifted the red silk cloth on the table, bent over, and went inside.

Not long later, the door to the meeting room opened again, and a gentle looking man wearing glasses walked in. He swept his eyes around, and finally landed on Xia Lan who was sitting upright: "Sorry, did you see a little boy of this height?" By the way, let's point out the height.

Xia Lan was stunned, she did not know how to reply. She saw it, but she saw that the little boy seemed to be deliberately hiding away …

Just as she was hesitating on how to answer, Xia Lan felt a pair of chubby arms hugging her calf.

As if he were only doing it subconsciously, Xia Lan immediately shook his head. Without waiting for a reply, the gentle man anxiously turned around and walked out of the conference room.

At the sound of the door closing, the little boy let go of her legs, exposing his small head to check if his pursuers had really left.

Her two soft and gentle arms were like two lotus roots as they suddenly let go of each other, causing Xia Lan to feel a little reluctant to part with them.

The little boy crawled out from under the table with all his might. Xia Lan saw that he was struggling, so she bent down to help him lift the silk cloth, and reached out to pull him.

"Thank you Auntie." The little boy thanked him very politely and climbed onto the chair next to Xia Lan to sit down.

Xia Lan curiously looked at the beautiful child in front of him. What kind of parents could give birth to such a beautiful child?

Seeing that there was a black stain on his fleshy face, he guessed that it was caused by the stain under the table. He took out a tissue from his bag and started to wipe his face naturally.

The most amazing thing was that the little boy didn't reject her, only raising his face and allowing her to wipe it off obediently.

"Alright, it's clean now." This kind of child was really pleasing, but when Xia Lan saw him again, she felt that she liked him from the bottom of her heart.

The little boy opened his mouth and smiled, revealing a row of little white teeth. His little face was very cute and red.

"Auntie, you smell good." As he spoke, he moved his small body closer to her in embarrassment.

Xia Lan was amused by him, she reached out to rub his curly hair, and asked with a gentle tone: "What's your name?"

"Gu Xiao Ze, Auntie can just call me Xiao Ze, that's what Daddy and Grandma call me." The boy answered brightly, with an expectant look on his face, as if he were trying his best to express himself.

"Alright, Xiao Ze, why are you hiding?" Xia Lan's eyes were naturally slightly bent, so they looked very close. Adding the gentleness in her tone of voice, the little friend wouldn't feel like they were being questioned.

Her small face was originally smiling merrily, but immediately curled her lips in distress: "Wu, Xiao Ze made a mistake, and ran away because he was afraid of father's punishment. Xiao Ze didn't do anything bad, you know." Afraid that the beautiful auntie did not like him, he deliberately added on.

"Is your father fierce?" Xia Lan didn't think too much about it. It was normal for children to make misdeeds, the mischievous child was smart.

Xiao Ze nodded strongly: "Mn! "My dad's temper isn't that good. He's always wearing a cold face, and he's not someone to be trifled with. Everyone is afraid of him."

Xia Lan laughed sinisterly. Being complained about by his own son behind her back, Xiao Ze's father was very defeated. If he knew, he would probably be angry.

"If you make a mistake, you have to admit it yourself. A boy has to learn to take responsibility. Explain it to your dad, he will forgive you." Xia Lan patiently advised.

Her black eyes blinked a few times, as though she was considering the feasibility of Xia Lan's words. After a while, Xiao Ze nodded her head, and said like a little adult: "Alright, I will give daddy one more chance."
