Tang Xiaowei could not help but stand up when she thought that something might have happened to the little boy.
Su Jin, who had been eating quietly, looked at her in surprise. "Xiaowei, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I have to take this call," Tang Xiaowei hurriedly answered when she heard his question. Then, she took her phone to the French window and answered the call.
As soon as the call went through, Tang Xiaowei anxiously asked the maid, "Alana, did something happen?"
Alana nervously answered, "Miss, young master woke up, but he didn't see you, so he kept crying. But he only cried and didn't make any sound. Miss, when will you come back?"
During this period of time, Tang Xiaowei personally took care of the child every night, so sometimes the child would wake up in the middle of the night and see Tang Xiaowei.
Tang Xiaowei had never seen the Little Milk Bun cry.
However, she was not at home today, so the Little Milk Bun must have just woken up and cried because he didn't see her.
Thinking about how the Little Bun was crying very hard but could not make a sound and was still crying, Tang Xiaowei's heart ached for him.
She hurriedly said, "Turn the call into a video call. Let him see me. I'll coax him."
On the other end, Alana immediately did as she was told.
Tang Xiaowei immediately saw the Little Bun who was still crying.
Although he did not struggle with all his might, he was crying so much that his small mouth wobbled and his small body trembled.
There were obvious traces of tears on his little face.
Tang Xiaowei hurriedly comforted him, "Don't cry, darling. Mommy is here. Mommy will be back in a while. Can you go to sleep now?"
The little darling saw her in the communication video and slowly stopped crying.
This finally made Tang Xiaowei let out a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to let out a sigh of relief, a calm male voice suddenly sounded from behind her, "You named your child darling? He's quite cute."
Tang Xiaowei was shocked. She turned around and saw Su Jin, who had been eating, walking silently behind her.
She hurriedly ended the call, turned around to face him, and asked sternly, "are you done eating?"
"Yes, I don't have a good appetite. I can't eat much." Su Jin nodded slightly.
Seeing that she had ended the call, he stopped asking about the child. Instead, he finally opened his mouth to ask her, "Didn't you say that you have something to ask me for help? What is it?"
What he meant was that she could tell him about it now.
Upon hearing that, Tang Xiaowei immediately told him that she wanted to ask him to save Uncle Tian.
After she finished speaking, she stared at Su Jin carefully, afraid that she would miss out on every single expression on his face. After all, his decision was related to whether or not Uncle Tian could be saved.
This was the first time Su Jin had received such a 'concerned' look from her.
However, he was not happy.
He knew very well that she was not paying attention to him because she liked him.
She was completely doing it for someone else.
Su Jin was silent for a long time. It was only when Tang Xiaowei thought he did not want to say anything else that he finally spoke up. With a troubled expression, he said, "Xiaowei, this matter is very troublesome. I might not be able to help you."
Tang Xiaowei was completely stunned when she heard that.
He might not be able to help her. He was already a prince, and if he was unable to help her, Uncle Tian would definitely be sentenced here.
However, Uncle Tian was caught just when he wanted to exploit those resources, and he had yet to extract anything.
Could it be that he could make an exception?
"Su Jin, you're the only one who can help me now. Can you think of another way? As long as you can help me save Uncle Tian, he and I will repay you." Tang Xiaowei could not help but clench her fists and look at him expectantly.
Upon hearing this, Su Jin revealed a faint evil smile. "Xiaowei, are you sure you're willing to repay me? Are you willing to give me anything I want?"
After he finished speaking, he took a few steps forward and pushed her back to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Tang Xiaowei still did not understand what he was trying to do.
She reached out to push him but realized that she could not move him.
She frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Do you want me to sell my body to you?"
If that was the case, she would definitely not agree to it.
"No, I won't ask you to sell your body to me. I love you so much, how could I bear to waste you in such a way?" Su Jin's smile became more and more sinister. However, his tone was very serious as he said, "Xiaowei, if you agree to marry me, I'll save your Uncle Tian. What do you think?"
"How could you take advantage of the situation and make such a request? Do you know how despicable you are?" Tang Xiaowei was instantly enraged when she heard that.
"Of course I know how despicable you are, but I'm not despicable. You're going to leave soon. So, I can only think of one way to make you stay." Su Jin looked calm and natural, as if he was talking about something extremely normal.
"So, you're the reason why Uncle Tian was caught?" Tang Xiaowei immediately looked at him suspiciously.
"No, he was caught because of his greed. It was his bad luck that he was caught on the first day of mining. Don't frame me, I didn't do anything." Su Jin shook his head and smiled as he defended himself.
However, he did not say that he gave Ling Shitian a fake permit. Therefore, Ling Shitian thought that the permit was real and was about to start mining when he was caught.
Especially after he heard that Ling Shitian and Tang Xiaowei were about to leave the country, he started to be afraid. Therefore, he had no choice but to do something to stop them from leaving.
However, he would not tell Tang Xiaowei about these things.
Tang Xiaowei was not clear about what he was thinking, so she naturally did not know about these things.
After hearing his explanation, she no longer doubted him.
However, she still shook her head and rejected him. "I won't agree to marry you. You can make another request."
"I don't lack anything right now, the only thing I lack is you. Tell me, other than you, what else can I ask for?" Su Jin was amused by her words.
Tang Xiaowei instantly felt extremely helpless.
She suddenly pushed Su Jin away fiercely. This time, Su Jin was pushed away by her. His expression was still very calm, as if he had long expected her to be like this.
Tang Xiaowei glared at him angrily, then immediately turned around and walked out.
Su Jin's suggestion just now really made her feel very uncomfortable.
She might as well think of another way to save Uncle Tian. It was impossible for Su Jin to be the only one who could save Uncle Tian.
She did not like to trade her body.
Even though Su Jin said that he liked her and loved her, she still felt disgusted by such a trade.
She hurriedly ran out, but Su Jin did not chase after her.
