Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Daddy Was Abducted by a Beautiful Aunt

"Mummy, I’ve missed you so much," Little Xingxing’s tender childish voice echoed through the hall as he clung to Qiao Rui’s leg, gazing up at her with his delicate, cherubic little face.

Seeing such a scene, one could only feel melted by the cuteness.

Qiao Rui had already felt very affectionate towards the child; when she was Rui Qing, he had called her mother, and now that she had changed her appearance, he still called her mother.

What sort of karmic bond was this!

Qiao Rui stared blankly at Little Xingxing and gently said, "Little friend, I’m sorry, but you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not your mother."

"Mummy, don’t you want Little Xingxing anymore?" The child looked up at her, his large, round eyes about to brim with tears.

Qiao Rui panicked and quickly squatted down to pick up the three-year-old bundle of joy.

"Little Xingxing is a good boy. It’s not that mummy doesn’t want you; I’m really not your mummy. Where is your family?" Qiao Rui looked around, trying to find Little Xingxing’s relatives.

What she didn’t expect was to lift her eyes and meet Pei Liyan’s piercing, contemplative gaze.

Immediately, Qiao Rui felt guilty.

She thought Pei Liyan’s gaze was too sharp, as if he could see right through to the bottom of people’s hearts.

Not only was Pei Liyan staring at her, but his good friend He Zheng was also looking at her with the same intensity.

Song Muyu also exclaimed in shock, "No way, whose child is this?"

Qiao Rui couldn’t tell Muyu in front of Pei Liyan and He Zheng that this was Huo Sinan’s son, so she could only say, "I don’t know. The child mistook someone for his mother."

"I did not mistake anyone." The little guy wrapped his arms around Qiao Rui’s neck and sniffed delicately near her neck "This is the smell, mummy’s smell."

Qiao Rui was stunned.

Before that night with Pei Liyan, she had been a virgin, not to mention having a son.

Moreover, this child was already over three years old, but this habit of randomly recognizing mothers was not good.

Huo Sinan was not with the child, nor were his family members.

The child must have been lost while dining here with someone.

Song Muyu sighed, "Just by smelling a scent, you are sure she is your mother? I grew up with her and didn’t know she had a child, is that even possible?"

Little Xingxing completely ignored Song Muyu’s words and kept shouting, "I don’t care; I want my mother."

"But she’s not your mother, honey," Song Muyu patiently explained. "Calling someone mummy like this not only makes your mummy sad but also embarrasses auntie."

Upon hearing this, Little Xingxing immediately started crying sadly, his little head resting on Qiao Rui’s neck, and soon hot tears began to fall onto her skin.

Qiao Rui stiffened.

Little Xingxing sobbed, "Mummy, wuwu, I want my mummy."

Qiao Rui felt a pang in her heart and looked towards Song Muyu, shaking her head, "Muyu, leave it be. Don’t correct the child about this anymore; he’s very upset."

Song Muyu opened her mouth, helpless. "I know I shouldn’t argue with a child, but what about your reputation? What if people misunderstood that you had a child out of wedlock?"

"Let the pure remain pure," Qiao Rui said indifferently. "If some people want to misunderstand, then let them; I don’t care about others’ opinions anyway."

Song Muyu was left speechless.

Pei Liyan had been silent all this time, observing Qiao Rui for a while.

When she held the child, her brows and eyes were gentle as if painted, and her whole being radiated a soft maternal glow, as if her heart ached whenever the child cried.

Such a kind girl was the first Pei Liyan had ever encountered.

Kind enough not to mind that a child randomly recognized her as his mother.

Pei Liyan couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui continued to look for Little Xingxing’s family.

He Zheng said to Pei Liyan, "Whose child is this, lost and not even known by the parents? These parents are really negligent."

Pei Liyan remained silent.

Song Muyu actually agreed with He Zheng’s words, "Mr. He is right. It’s the parents’ negligence when a child is lost. No matter what the parents are busy with, they should have anticipated and planned for their child’s needs. If they didn’t, they are negligent."

He Zheng suddenly realized and sighed in astonishment, "Miss Song, it seems we really do see eye to eye on this matter."

Song Muyu nodded, not denying it.

The two looked at each other, sharing a rare moment of understanding.

Qiao Rui was coaxing Little Xingxing and inadvertently caught Pei Liyan’s gaze still on her; she quickly averted her eyes.

She didn’t need to meet Pei Liyan’s gaze.

"You’re Little Xingxing, aren’t you?" Qiao Rui asked the child tenderly.

"Mommy, you don’t even remember Little Xingxing’s name," complained the little guy, his tone so aggrieved as if he were the saddest child in the world.

Despite being just over three years old, his words were like those of an adult, logical and articulated clearly.

The childish voice struck a chord in the hearts of the adults, leaving them both amused and exasperated.

Qiao Rui quickly assured, "I remember, your name is Little Xingxing. Come, tell me, where is your daddy?"

"Daddy was taken away by a pretty lady!" declared Little Xingxing.

He Zheng laughed out loud, "Truly a scoundrel, to abandon his own child for a woman."

Song Muyu was equally scornful, "Utterly shameless. The child is lost, and he still has the mood to flirt. What kind of man is this?"

As the two of them bantered, they mercilessly teased Huo Sinan.

Ironically, at this very moment, Huo Sinan had not yet realized Little Xingxing had been taken away.

He sneezed, startling the beauty beside him.

"What’s the matter?" asked the beauty.

Huo Sinan’s brow furrowed, and it suddenly hit him that his son was missing.

He stood up abruptly and walked outside.

The beauty chased after him, her voice delicate as she called out, "Sinan, where are you going?"

Huo Sinan turned and glared at the beauty fiercely. "My son is missing."

The beauty was startled and quickly offered, "I’ll help you look for him."

Qiao Rui, holding Little Xingxing, headed toward the corridor, thinking to start the search from there.

It was then that Pei Liyan spoke in a serious tone, "Miss Rui, perhaps it would be faster to have the reception make an announcement than for you to search while holding the child."

Qiao Rui paused and turned to look at Pei Liyan.

He had already walked up to the reception and spoken to them.

Soon after, an announcement was made.

Just then, Huo Sinan’s figure, rushing like a whirlwind, appeared in the lobby on the first floor.

He saw his son in the arms of a beautiful woman and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little Xingxing!" Huo Sinan called out.

"Daddy, I found mommy," Little Xingxing exclaimed excitedly upon hearing Huo Sinan’s voice.

Huo Sinan shot a glance at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui just happened to look up and meet his gaze.

Pretending not to recognize him, she said, "Hello, sir. Is this your child?"

"Mommy, this is my daddy, your husband. Have you forgotten?" The little guy looked at Qiao Rui with incomprehension.

Huo Sinan reached out to take his son and apologized to Qiao Rui, "I’m sorry, my son has mistaken you for someone else."

"It’s okay." Qiao Rui smiled nonchalantly, ready to hand Little Xingxing back.

However, Little Xingxing was unwilling and clung to Qiao Rui’s neck, refusing to let go. "I want mommy!"
