At this point, Li Xin felt a bit indignant on their behalf and began to secretly blame that so-called rich second generation in her heart.
"Using power to bully others, what kind of ability is that!" she said angrily, as if that rich second generation were in front of her, she would definitely give him a good beating.
Meanwhile, Shu Ran inexplicably shivered. To kill someone so openly and then abduct their daughter afterward.
How ruthless and despicable could such a person be?
But.
No, something felt off.
Shu Ran found it somewhat suspicious. If she hadn't heard Li Xin mention Lu Qisheng's family situation, she might have believed it.
However, Lu Qisheng did not have a good relationship with his biological father and stepmother; they were like fire and water. How could her stepmother possibly entrust someone to find her and hope for a reunion?
Furthermore, why would that rich second generation want to kill her biological father?
And why abduct Lu Qisheng? Wouldn't it be less of a burden to just throw her away?
Could it be that Lu Qisheng had some leverage over him?
That seemed impossible. According to Xu Yan Ying, this rich second generation was extremely arrogant and looked down on them entirely. If Lu Qisheng really had something on him, he would surely kill Lu Qisheng on the spot.
Instead of keeping her around as a potential threat.
Thus, these inexplicable doubts…
Shu Ran lifted her gaze and looked deeply at him. He was holding a cup of coffee, leisurely taking a sip. Her eyes lingered on Li Xin's expression, which was filled with righteous indignation, and she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
This smile was too meaningful, causing Shu Ran to feel a shiver run down her spine.
It wasn't that she didn't trust him; it was just that his words were hard for her to believe.
At the same time, as if sensing a burning gaze on his face, he turned his head curiously, only to collide directly with her suspicious eyes.
Xu Yan Ying was stunned for a full three seconds, unable to believe that the look in her eyes was filled with distrust and doubt.
For a moment, he even thought she had figured out that he was lying.
He suppressed the panic inside him and maintained a strong composure as he chatted with her casually. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"Ah?" She finally turned her gaze away, as if just coming back to her senses. Her eyes slid from his face to his calm gaze. Realizing it seemed a bit abrupt and impolite, she awkwardly forced a smile and replied, "It's nothing."
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone on the table rang. Shu Ran lowered her gaze and glanced at it; it displayed the name Qin Naive.
Earlier that morning, Qin Xian had been playing with her phone, flipping through it when he suddenly stumbled upon the contacts.
Scrolling from top to bottom, he discovered that her phone didn’t have his number saved.
Before he could get angry, Shu Ran hurriedly kissed him as if to appease him and then snatched her phone to obediently save his Phone Number.
She wanted to save it under the name Qin Xian, but he stubbornly refused.
When she asked what name she should use instead, he wouldn’t tell her and childishly threatened her: "You figure it out; just don’t save it as Qin Xian. Otherwise, it won't just be a simple kiss."
Shu Ran pouted, wondering what she was supposed to save.
Qin Shao?
No, no, she had a bad feeling. If she saved this name, the consequences would definitely be worse than saving Qin Xian.
Little Qin? Old Qin? Qin Baby?
Shu Ran twitched her eye corner, um... maybe it's better to skip this...
At that moment, she really couldn't think of a nickname to save.
But he leaned back in his chair, raising an eyebrow, waiting for her with an attitude that suggested he wouldn't give up until she did.
She puffed out her cheeks and sighed in frustration.
This domineering childish brat.
Childish?
Oh, she thought of a good name.
If she couldn't save Qin Xian, then she'd save Qin Naive!
She smiled foolishly as she edited the three characters, but once she finished, she stubbornly refused to let him see it.
One wanted to grab it, the other wanted to hide it, and the two engaged in a playful tug-of-war.
Finally, the two of them fell onto the sofa together, and she was met with a deep kiss from him to conclude the moment.
He did not see the nickname she had saved, and she did not change it either.
Thus, in her contacts, there was such a cute yet ridiculous nickname.
Shu Ran apologetically got up and walked to the area near the bathroom to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
As soon as the call was answered, her soft and sweet voice mingled with the melodious sound of piano music.
Is she taking a piano lesson?
No.
Qin Xian was well aware of her schedule.
Today is Wednesday; she only has one class, and it is the first period in the morning.
At this time, she should be in the office.
He lowered his gaze and glanced at his watch.
It was lunchtime at the kindergarten, so it was impossible for there to be such clear piano sounds.
Even if there were, it would be mixed with the sounds of children laughing and playing.
The next moment, he suddenly asked, "Where are you?"
"Um... I'm out handling some matters with a colleague."
He was too smart; Shu Ran didn't dare to hide the truth from him. However, she also couldn't tell him the real situation, so she could only ask, "What's up?"
"Are you done? Come over and have dinner with me."
Shu Ran initially wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered what Aunt Chen had said in the morning.
Qin Xian had been feeling troubled lately and couldn't eat properly. If this continued, he would inevitably suffer from stomach issues again.
Shu Ran asked a few more questions and learned that he had an extremely picky palate and a very weak stomach.
Although Shu Ran had never experienced it herself, she had seen the symptoms of someone suffering from stomach problems.
Her father had severe stomach issues, and every time it flared up, it felt like he was walking through the gates of hell. The pain was unbearable; he couldn't sit or lie down, and he had to endure the torment.
For some reason, Shu Ran felt a pang of sympathy.
Thinking that she had no classes in the afternoon, she decided it would be fine to accompany him for lunch before heading back.
With that in mind, she lightly responded, "I'm almost done. You go ahead and eat; I'll come over as soon as I'm finished."
Her prompt agreement seemed to catch Qin Xian off guard.
He had thought she would refuse him.
"Okay."
Qin Xian happily hung up the phone and, seeing the lunch box in front of him, suddenly felt less annoyed.
Meanwhile, Shu Ran had just hung up when a warm voice came from behind her. "Were you on the phone with your boyfriend?"
"Huh?" Shu Ran turned around, as if she hadn't heard his words clearly, and asked back, "What?"
Xu Yan Ying smiled and repeated, "I asked if you were on the phone with your boyfriend?"
Xu Yan Ying knew that she would definitely deny it by saying: "Senior, don't joke around. I don't have a boyfriend."
During their four years in college, every time her phone rang, it was basically a call from her family.
He would always tease her, asking if it was her boyfriend calling.
And she would always laugh and shake her head in denial.
But today.
Shu Ran's eyelashes fluttered as she raised her eyes to seriously gaze at him. After a moment, she pressed her lips together and softly replied, "Yeah."
