Xia Ling also wanted to take her child, but her brother refused.
She lightly shook her head. "When Shaohui comes back is up to my brother's emotions."
The night's banquet came to a close in a somewhat dampened mood. The guests left. Li Lei said goodbye to Old Master Li and Su Tang and drove his modified off-road car to send Xia Ling home.
In the middle of the night, the breeze was cool and the sky was full of stars.
The off-road car stopped in front of the gate of Xia Ling's villa and the two of them got off the car.
Xia Ling opened the low fence and walked into the fragrant small garden in the front yard. Li Lei gently hugged her from the other side of the fence. "Xiao Ling, don't worry." He said, "The child will come back."
She smiled bitterly. "Yes."
