On the other side, Xu Wanwan, who was in a panic, received an anonymous message.

She opened her phone and saw a photo of little treasure.

The little guy was staying in an unfamiliar place, pouting sullenly. His pitiful expression made her heart ache.

Xu Wanwan’s heart sank. She nervously looked at the photo a few times and realized that the furnishings and decorations on the photo were very familiar.

Isn’t this… The Li Family?

She had lived in the Li family for a period of time, so she could naturally tell.

The little guy couldn’t have gone to the Li family for no reason. There must be a reason for this.

The only reason was that he was taken away by someone.

Xu Wanwan maintained her rationality and quickly typed a paragraph on the phone screen. “What exactly do you want to do?”

Soon, a reply popped up on her phone screen —

“I’ll wait for you at home.”

Xu Wanwan turned off her phone and felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.

“What’s Wrong?”Gu Jinshen rushed over, his forehead still dripping with sweat. “Is there any news about Yanye?”

Xu Wanwan nodded lightly. “Yes, I know where little treasure is. You Go back and rest first. I’ll go look for him myself.”

“I’ll accompany you.”

Gu Jinshen grabbed her wrist without any explanation and said seriously, “We agreed to face everything together. Besides, it’s already so late. I’m worried about letting you go alone.”

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips slightly and shook off Gu Jinshen’s arm for the first time.

“No need. I’ll be fine by myself.”

With that, she turned around and strode out of the banquet hall. She hailed a cab at the intersection and reported the Li family’s location.

She had walked the road to the Li family many times. Who would have thought that three years later, he would come back in such a way?

Stepping into the Li family, Xu Wanwan took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down. She knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Auntie Zhang. The moment she saw Xu Wanwan, she was completely stunned.

“Miss… Miss Xu, you’re back.”

Xu Wanwan could not help but fall into a daze. When she came back to her senses, she smiled faintly. “Hello, Auntie Zhang.”

“Aiyo, I haven’t seen you for a few years. I still miss you sometimes.”Auntie Zhang smiled as she pulled Xu Wanwan’s arm and led her into the house. She lowered her voice and said, “Are you here to look for director Li?”

Xu Wanwan nodded. “Yes, where is Li Jingran?”

“Director Li should be in the study room. I’ll go and inform him for you.”

Aunt Zhang finished speaking and rushed upstairs.

After a while, she quickly went downstairs and walked to Xu Wanwan. “Director Li said to let you go up.”

Xu Wanwan stopped in her tracks. She stood in a stalemate for a while before she slowly walked up.

Standing at the door of the study room, she looked at the light seeping out from the crack of the door and sighed softly.

Before she could knock on the door, the door in front of her opened with a bang.

Li Jingran stood in front of her, looking down at her from head to toe with a pair of cold eyes. He raised his thin lips slightly. “You’re here?”

Xu Wanwan was very displeased when she saw his slightly frivolous look.

“Where’s Xu Yanzhi?”

“If you want to see him, you have to agree to one condition of mine.”Li Jingran leaned against the door. The emotion in his eyes was very faint, but there was a hint of dignity in them.

Xu Wanwan immediately frowned. “Yanzhi is my child. I’m here to bring him back. Don’t I need your permission?”

“He’s your child, and he’s also my child.”Li Jingran’s tone darkened.

Xu Wanwan was stunned.

His tone was so certain. Did he guess something?

“Director Li, I’m not in the mood to joke with you.”Xu Wanwan quickly covered up the panic in her heart. “My Son is timid. If you do this, you’ll scare him.”

Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Li Jingran laughed sarcastically. He turned around and went into the house to take out a test report and handed it to her. “The DNA test results are out. Are you still planning to hide it from me?”

Xu Wanwan’s hand that was holding the test report trembled slightly. Her pupils constricted, and her emotions were complicated.

He actually found out the truth so quickly?

“Director Li.”

Xu Wanwan tried her best to calm her emotions and said in a calm tone, “Yan Zhi and I are living very well now. Yan Zhi has a father too. What’s the point of you taking this out now?”

“Of course, it’s to bring my son back to the Li family,”Li Jingran said directly.

Xu Wanwan laughed lightly. “During the three years we were apart, you also had your own family, didn’t you?”

Li Jingran’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He grabbed the girl’s slender wrist and pushed her to the desk. He leaned over and pressed her down. “Who was the person who left without saying goodbye?”

Three years. He had waited for her for three years.

If she had not been willful and did not leave, he would not have had to wait for three years. She would not have had to bear such a heavy price.

Xu Wanwan was forced to accept the man’s reprimand. She was suppressed and could not move. Her chest rose and fell violently. The past grievances and heartache surged into her heart.

“Li Jingran!”

She called his name with almost all her strength.

The man was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually softened. “I’m here.”

“Calm down.”Xu Wanwan exhaled lightly. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly to hide the sadness and disappointment in her eyes. “We have already been separated for three years. We have a new life together. Why bother with the things that happened in the past?”

Li Jingran curled his lips coldly. His deep eyes seemed to be bottomless.

He gritted his teeth and enunciated each word. “I’ve been waiting for you for the past three years.”

Xu Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat.

However, her rationality quickly overcame those emotional thoughts. She didn’t want to bring up what had happened in the past again.

Even though she had had a hard time overseas during those years, she didn’t mention it at all. She didn’t want Li Jingran to know anything about it.

“Please let go of me and return Xu Yanzhi to me.”Xu Wanwan’s voice was calm and indifferent. “This is good for both of us.”

“If you want to see Xu Yanzhi, stay here with me tonight.”Li Jingran stood up unhurriedly and tugged at his tie, his expression turning cold.

It had been three years since they last met. She had indeed become more capable, but he did not like her attitude towards him.

He had let her escape three years ago, and now, three years later, he had to keep her no matter what.

“What identity do I have to use to keep you company here?”Xu Wanwan tidied up her clothes and asked indifferently.

They were both adults, so they could understand each other’s subtext.

Xu Wanwan knew that the company Li Jingran mentioned was definitely not a simple company.

Li Jingran pondered for a few seconds, and his magnetic deep voice slowly sounded, “If you don’t mind, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now.”

“Director Li, I don’t want to make any jokes.”

Xu Wanwan sighed lightly. She was very tired.

She originally thought that Li Jingran could understand her thoughts, but his thoughts were always the opposite of hers.

“My Son will have nightmares at night and needs me by his side. You Can’t force him to stay.”

Xu Wanwan said faintly, “If you’re still brooding over what happened back then, we can discuss other solutions, but the child is innocent. Can you let me see Him?”
