As the two were walking on the sidewalk, they walked into a crowd. Not knowing what the situation was Xīng went to the center.
She saw a boy about 3 or 4 year old. He had green eyes, black short wavy hair, and fair skin but a little tan. He was crying.
Xīng went up to the boy and bend down her knees matching the height of the boy.
"Why are you sad?" with a gentle voice that sounded like an angel to the people around.
The boy looked up and once he saw her face he hopped into her arms saying "Mommy!" in a low voice only she can hear.
Xīng was shocked "Mommy? I was never pregnant" she thought.
Jian with the crowd was shocked when the little boy hopped in her arms.
The boy hugged her more tightly as he didn't want to ever let her go. Xīng snapped out of it and picked up the boy who was hugging her.
"It's okay, it's okay. Everything is gonna be fine" Xīng said rubbing his back with her free hand and shaking him comfortably in her arms.
"What's your name little one" Xīng said.
"You don't know my name, mommy?" The boy looked up.
"How can I have a child of your age? Where's your parents" Xīng looks at the little boy.
The boy still looking at Xīng "My name is Lan Lei Hua."
Once she heard the name, she thought that the surname Lan sounded familiar. She closed her eyes for a moment and the name Lan Hua Zhou popped up.
She slowly opened her eyes to look at Lan Lei Hua. She bend down to the same level as Lan Lei Hua's head, and said to him without the other people knowing "Is your father Lan Hua Zhou?"
"Yes, why?"
"I just notice you and he have the same surname. What about your mother, little one?"
"I don't have one" his eyes went towards the floor.
"It's okay, everything is okay. Do you know your fathers number?"
"No, but I know where his work place is at. Can you come with me?" The little one said moving a little bit back as Xīng was trying to get up.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xia Xīng." She hits her head slightly with a sweet smile. "And of course, I'll go with you."
There were thoughts going on in Xīng's head, when she suddenly felt something tugging on her hands. It was Lan Lei Hua pulling her.
"Let's go! Let's go!" Lei Hua dragging Xīng to his fathers work place.

There's a commotion in a building. Many adults had dark faces, eyes that were feared by the man in front of them.
That man had eyes that could make you wish that you had never been alive. "Where is he?!" His voice was dark, frightening the employees with his shout.
"H-he was in his room, Mr.L-lan" said the girl that was suppose to be looking out for the young master.
"Why isn't he there, then!"
"I-I'm sorry, it's my fault" the girl kneeled down.
"Go find him!"
All that was in the room went out to find the young master.
Having his hand go through his soft hair with a frustrated face he let out a heavy sign. "How could this have happened. I mean it would be lonely, I guess by yourself." Lan Hua Zhou said.

Meanwhile with Xīng and Lei Hua. They were in front of a big CEO building. Xīng was holding Lei Hua in her arms while, he was guiding her the way to his father.
When Xīng step foot into the building. There was someone coming to her or should I say to Lei Hua. The person try grabbing Lei Hua out of Xīng's arm but Lei Hua didn't budge. "Young Master! Why are you with a stranger? Hurry, your father is angry." The person said still tryin to take him out of Xīng's arms.
Xīng looked into Lei Hua's eyes, there were tears in his eyes. "M-mommy" Lei Hua said faintly only she could hear, pulling onto her clothes, not wanting to go to the person that was pulling him off of her. Xīng's face grew darker, her eyes were in rage. "Yah! Stop pulling him. Can't you see your scaring him?!" She yelled with rage made the person in front of her show fear.
Xīng quickly grabbed Lei Hua and started walking to the elevator leaving the person there with shock and fear in her eyes.
Forgetting what happened at the lobby Xīng looked at Lei Hua and ask "Are you okay now?"
Lei Hua nodded and said "yes, I'm fine now, mommy." He looked up to Xīng and smiled.
Xīng smiled back at him "That's good" she stroked his hair softly. Lei Hua hugged her, while she was still stroking his hair.
'I love you, mommy.' Lei Hua said in his thought putting his head on Xīng for comfort.
"Lei Hua, What floor is your father on?"
"He's on the 20th floor"
Xīng pushes the button for the 20th floor.
