Yang Qian walked while soothing the child in her arms. The child wailed loudly, and she shed silent tears.
As the child cried heart -rendingly, she sobbed softly.
"Baby, your mom is so silly. She clearly knew your dad would be okay, so why did she still follow him?"
"The last time it was the same. She was pregnant with you then, but she went to a place like the Valley of Death alone. Fortunately, she was okay. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be in this world."
"Really, really such a worry - wart."
Who would have thought that Gu Sisi would just run away like this? Previously, just because of this concern, Yang Qian and Jiang Lihao had rushed over as soon as they got the news. But unexpectedly, Gu Sisi still left.
"Doesn't she even care about her son? You fool, what are you going there for? You can't even take care of yourself," Yang Qian scolded through her tears.
"She can't take care of both sons if she takes care of this one," Jiang Lihao's voice came. Yang Qian's sobs suddenly stopped. She was in a daze for a moment.
Come to think of it, Yang Qian lowered her head. Jiang Lihao made a lot of sense. Both sons were her sons. This one in her arms had been raised in Huo Cheng's place. Usually, Sister Hua took care of him. Gu Sisi would come over to soothe the baby from time to time. When the child was little, Huo Cheng even held him personally and made milk powder for him. Gu's parents often came over to hug their grandson.
In Huo Cheng's place, the child was truly doted on. There was always someone watching over him and caring about him, which was really different from the child in the Huo Mansion.
No one knew what kind of life the child in the Huo Mansion was living. Although they were all Huo Cheng's relatives, based on Yang Qian's understanding of Huo Cheng's family, Yang Qian even thought it was a miracle that the child was still alive.
Maybe out of consideration that he was the flesh and blood of the Huo family, they would find someone to take good care of him. But he would definitely not be as loved as this child raised in Huo Cheng's place, surrounded by the love of his parents and grandparents.
It was probably just a couple of nannies to deal with. Maybe no one would even go to check on the child on a regular basis. It was already good enough that he could survive.
"Sigh~" Yang Qian couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Lihao frowned.
"Nothing. It's just that this child keeps crying. I don't know what's wrong," Yang Qian looked up at the ceiling, trying hard to hold back her tears.
"Don't worry. I've already sent people to look for Gu Sisi. I'm also contacting Chen Fang. He's at the company. Maybe he has a way to inform Huo Cheng."
"Okay." With Jiang Lihao's words, Yang Qian felt a bit better and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.
With Jiang Lihao around, it was easier for the two of them to soothe the child than when she was alone.
Jiang Lihao shed his worried look. He joked and made funny faces. He was so good at entertaining the child that even Yang Qian was made to burst out laughing.
Finally, they managed to soothe the child. Probably tired from laughing, the child soon fell asleep.
Jiang Lihao and Yang Qian were both sweating. When their eyes met, they both smiled.
"It's so good!" Yang Qian said to Jiang Lihao with tears in her eyes.
"What did you say?" Jiang Lihao was in a daze for a moment and didn't hear what Yang Qian said.
"I said it's so good that you're still by my side."
Hearing Yang Qian's words, Jiang Lihao thought he should be happy, but for some reason, he fell silent instead.
On the phone, his father's tired and aged voice came: "Lihao, come back. I'll agree to anything you want when you come back, including being with that girl. The company is in trouble."
"Jiang Lihao, do you think how's Sisi - jie's other child doing in the Huo family?"
Looking at this child, Yang Qian naturally thought of the other one.
She really didn't know how Gu Sisi endured it every day. They were twins, but they couldn't be raised together. Seeing one would make her think of the other. How could she bear this for such a long time?
Even Yang Qian, looking at the baby now, would think of the other one. Not to mention Gu Sisi, the biological mother. She must think of the other child every time she looked at this one.
Thinking of this, Yang Qian felt a dull pain in her heart. Now she somewhat understood why Gu Sisi was so eager to bring the child back.
"Anyway, it's the Huo family. He should be doing okay. At least his basic life can be guaranteed," Jiang Lihao said truthfully.
"But no matter what, he doesn't have his parents and grandparents with him."
"But the Huo family are also his relatives. Huo Cheng's parents are his grandparents. Don't forget that," Jiang Lihao said, for some reason, with a bit of anger in his voice.
"Speak nicely. You know what the Huo Mansion is like. Why are you getting angry with me? You might scare the baby," Yang Qian reached into the cradle and gently patted the child.
Only then did Jiang Lihao realize that they were still in the baby's room. He really shouldn't have spoken with such emotions.
"Qianqian, I'm sorry," Jiang Lihao lowered his head and sincerely admitted his mistake.
"Forget it. Let's go out. Don't disturb the child here," Yang Qian softened her heart seeing his appearance.
Jiang Lihao hung his head and walked out with Yang Qian. He looked like a child who had made a mistake.
They found a quiet balcony and started chatting.
"What should we do about Sisi - jie now?"
Yang Qian got straight to the point. Her mind was in a complete mess, and this was the only thing she could think about.
"I'll send people to look for Gu Sisi. I think she left last night. I'll send people to check the surveillance cameras. Don't worry. Leave it to me."
There was a breeze on the balcony. The wind blew Yang Qian's hair, and her voice seemed to float in the wind. Yang Qian listened very carefully, afraid of missing any details.
"There are surveillance cameras? I want to go and check!" Probably every woman was very sensitive when it came to something she cared about. Yang Qian immediately caught the key point in Jiang Lihao's words. The surveillance cameras at the Huo family's gate should be able to clearly record when Gu Sisi left.
Yang Qian was an impatient person. As she spoke, she was about to move forward.
Jiang Lihao grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. Yang Qian struggled a few times, but Jiang Lihao pressed her head down.
With her head buried in Jiang Lihao's chest, Yang Qian finally managed to raise her head. "What are you doing? I want to go and check the surveillance cameras."
"Let me hug you for a while, just a while," Jiang Lihao's voice was as soft as it could be. He buried his head in Yang Qian's neck. At this moment, Yang Qian couldn't say no.
Her hands tentatively wrapped around Jiang Lihao.
"I don't know what's going on..." Yang Qian murmured softly.
Jiang Lihao's lips curled up into a silent smile. He pretended not to hear.
