To his surprise, Xiaowei was not snatched away by Su Jin, but his youngest daughter was snatched away by Su Jin instead.
The more Huangfu Qiye thought about it, the angrier he got.
...
Inside the forest manor.
Xiu Zhongsheng still did not leave. He stayed behind to help An An and Xinqiang every day.
Because of Xinwei's disappearance, Huangfu Qiye and Tang Xiaowei had been extremely busy and tired during this period of time. Therefore, Xiu Zhongsheng was willing to be an ordinary old man and help them manage the two children at home.
When Huangfu Qiye returned, Tang Xiaowei had just coaxed her eldest daughter, Xinqiang, and An An to sleep. She heard the sound of the car coming back and softly instructed the maid to take care of the two sleeping children. Then, she hurried downstairs.
It was already past 10 o'clock at night. Xiu Zhongsheng had already gone to bed. Tang Xiaowei was the only one at home who was still awake to coax the children.
Tang Xiaowei had just reached the stairs downstairs when she saw Huangfu Qiye, who was tired and travel-worn, walk in.
She walked over and threw herself into his arms. He immediately hugged her tightly, and the people around them retreated. It was so quiet that only the two of them were left.
The two of them hugged each other quietly.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go make you something to eat." Tang Xiaowei's voice was also filled with exhaustion. She stayed in his arms for a few seconds before she wanted to push him away and go to the kitchen to prepare food for him.
During this period of time, he could not set a time for him to come back at night, so she could not prepare food for him in advance.
She always asked him to give her a call when he came back, and he always forgot to call. She was also used to it.
However, Huangfu Qiye hugged her waist tightly and did not let her leave.
He lowered his head and said in a deep and pleasant voice, "Xiaowei, a friend of mine just called me. I have a lead on the child."
Tang Xiaowei originally thought that he hadn't found any clues outside today, so she didn't ask him, afraid that he would feel uncomfortable if she kept asking him.
Now that she suddenly heard him say this, she was completely stunned. She raised her head to look at him in surprise. Her lips moved, and her voice was dry. "Wh... what?"
"A friend of mine told me that he saw a child who looked like our little daughter Xinwei. I'm coming back to tell you that I'm going to pack up and head out to check if it's real or fake," Huangfu Qiye explained patiently to her. However, he did not mention that the child was in Su Jin's hands. He lowered his head to suppress the anger he felt because of Su Jin and kissed her gently on the lips.
Tang Xiaowei was confused by his words at first. She had always wanted to know the whereabouts of the child, but the news she received had always disappointed her. Now that she suddenly received good news, she could not believe it. She even thought that she was dreaming.
But now that his kiss was so real, she realized that she was not dreaming. Everything was real.
She hurriedly pushed Huangfu Qiye away and panted. "Really? Have you really found Xinwei's whereabouts? Where is Xinwei? Who has her? I'll go with you to bring the child back."
Huangfu Qiye did not want to tell Tang Xiaowei who had the child. He caressed her head and said, "We don't know who has the child yet. I'll go over now. Without alerting the enemy, I should be able to bring the child back very soon. Wait for me at home, okay?"
"No, I want to go with you. I'm going crazy. If I don't see Xinwei again, I feel like I won't be able to see anyone." Tang Xiaowei was very excited. She had to go with him.
During this period of time, because the child had disappeared, he had spread the news. The two of them had also appeared on a television program to look for her. When she talked about the child, sometimes she was so upset that she even fainted.
She did not tell Huangfu Qiye, who was already exhausted from looking for the child, that she had been in a bad mood recently.
She did not want to stay at home all the time. Every time he went out to look for her child, she would stay at home. Whenever she saw her eldest daughter, Xin Qiang, and An An, she would always feel that she had failed.
She felt that she had let down her youngest daughter, Xin Wei.
She wished that her three children were at home. She would definitely be very happy with them.
However, when she thought about how she still had a child out there whose whereabouts she did not know, it made her realise she did not know if she was dead or alive. She felt so heartbroken that she could not calm down.
Every day, she would hide from everyone and cry in her room.
No one knew about this.
Her mood was getting worse and worse. She even felt that she might lose control in the next second.
She was very afraid. She was afraid that if she did not see her safe and healthy little daughter again, she would be driven mad by herself.
Therefore, now that she finally had news of her little daughter, she absolutely could not continue to treat her at home.
"Let me go with you. I really can't take it anymore. Please, Qiye, please let me go with you, okay?" She hugged him tightly and cried in his arms, unable to calm down.
Huangfu Qiye was about to reject her because she could no longer cry.
He hugged her tightly helplessly and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll bring you with me."
Perhaps the news that Li Yuncheng had given them this time was true. They would be able to bring their daughter back if they went.
As long as he protected Xiaowei, he was not afraid that Su Jin would do anything to her.
He did not want to see Xiaowei cry anymore.
During this period of time, both of them had been in great pain and anxiety because of the child. It had been a long time since he had seen Xiaowei smile in front of him.
He did not know how much he missed her smile.
...
It was already late at night. Grandpa, Xiu Zhongsheng, had already rested, so the two of them did not disturb him.
Tang Xiaowei personally cooked and made two portions of supper. The two of them ate it in silence.
After that, Huangfu Qiye made some arrangements and left Yuan Shan to help take care of An An and Xinqiang at home. Then, he left a letter for Aze, who was standing guard at Xiu Zhongsheng's door, to tell Aze to give it to his grandpa tomorrow.
Fortunately, there was a new responsible wet nurse at home. This was because Huangfu Qiye was worried that Xiaowei's bad mood would mean she would not be able to feed his eldest daughter, so he found her. So now that Xiaowei was leaving with him, his eldest daughter did not have to go hungry.
After arranging everything, Huangfu Qiye took Tang Xiaowei, Yuan Qi, and 10 bodyguards with him. They left the forest manor under the night sky and went to the airport.
On the way to the airport, because the journey was more than an hour, Huangfu Qiye gently comforted the little woman in his arms. "There's still time. You should sleep for a while."
Tang Xiaowei grabbed his big hand and looked up at him. "You should rest too. You've been tired all day outside."
"Okay, let's rest together." Huangfu Qiye hugged her tightly and closed his eyes. The two of them took a simple rest in the car.
More than an hour later, they all boarded the plane to another city.
