Chapter 33 - Conversation

In the private lounge, Gu Cheng had already seen everything that was happening in the hall through the surveillance screen.

Of course, he had also heard the conversation between Qiao Nuan and Qiao Lin, and a flash of understanding crossed his mind.

It turned out that Qiao Nuan's child had been bought, so all of this made sense.

However, a trace of doubt arose in Gu Cheng's heart. Why didn't the woman who gave birth to his child five years ago bring both children to the Gu family? Instead, she sold one of them to the Qiao family? What kind of conspiracy was this?

While he was thinking, Gu Cheng saw Qiao Nuan moving quickly on the monitor screen and realized that she was walking towards his break room.

Gu Cheng's break room was a suite. He was in the study handling official business while the children were playing in the game room.

When he saw Qiao Nuan rushing towards the break room angrily, Gu Cheng's first reaction was that she knew that Qiao Ning wasn't his biological child and wanted to hurt Qiao Ning!

He stood up abruptly. Qiao Ning was his biological son. Even if Qiao Nuan was the foster mother who had raised Qiao Ning for five years, he would not allow her to hurt his child!

However, he did not expect Qiao Nuan to be so fast. When he opened the door of the game room, he found that Gu An was the only one in the room.

His voice was a little anxious, "Gu An, weren't you playing with Qiao Ning just now? Where is he now?"

Gu An's small face was full of confusion. "Just now, Ms. Qiao came to carry Qiao Ning away. She seemed to be very anxious. I greeted Ms. Qiao, but she didn't see me."

Gu Cheng's heart trembled, and he immediately became alert. He rushed out of the lounge and grabbed a security guard at the door. He asked anxiously, "Did you see Qiao Nuan and Qiao Ning? Where did they go?"

The security guard was dumbfounded. He subconsciously pointed in the direction of the public restroom. "Miss Qiao took the child to the restroom..."

Therefore, Gu Cheng immediately rushed to the restroom.

This floor was reserved for the recuperation ward for the special class. It was usually sparsely populated, and there was no one in the restroom.

Gu Cheng directly rushed to the women's restroom. The entire restroom was quiet, which made Gu Cheng even more panicked. He slammed the door of the restroom hard.

"Qiao Nuan, where are you? Come out quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Cheng saw Qiao Nuan carrying Qiao Ning out of the last cubicle.

Qiao Nuan's expression was calm. When she saw Gu Cheng, she was confused at first, then disgusted.

"Mr. Gu, I didn't know you had the hobby of breaking into the ladies' room." Qiao Nuan shook her head and sighed.

"Although I can't interfere with your hobby, please restrain yourself in public and don't cause trouble for others, okay?"

Gu Cheng couldn't take it anymore. He thought that Qiao Nuan had been provoked and wanted to do something to Qiao Ning, but she was still a mother and son harmonious scene. Instead, he was misunderstood and ridiculed.

He couldn't be bothered to explain to Qiao Nuan that he wasn't a pervert, so he asked directly, "Why did you suddenly come to my lounge and snatch the child away? What do you intend to do?"

"What do you mean by snatch the child away? How can I snatch my own son away?" Qiao Nuan retorted immediately.

Hearing that Qiao Nuan still insisted that Qiao Ning was her biological child, Gu Cheng frowned slightly. He couldn't help but wonder if Qiao Nuan was mentally ill.

Before he could confirm anything, Gu Cheng didn't dare to provoke Qiao Nuan. He was worried that Qiao Nuan would harm Qiao Ning.

Gu Cheng slowed down his tone and said gently, "Miss Qiao, Gu An was shocked by you just now. He's still waiting for Qiao Ning to go back and play with him. Besides, Qiao Ning seems to be scared by you too..."

She lowered her head to look at Qiao Ning who was nestled in her arms. Only then did Qiao Nuan realize that Qiao Ning looked like he was scared.

"Baby, did Mommy scare you just now? Mommy didn't do it on purpose."

Qiao Ning shook her head and reached out to hug Qiao Nuan's neck. He kissed Qiao Nuan's face. "Mommy, what happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly want to look at the little flower on my stomach?"

Qiao Nuan also kissed Qiao Ning's cheek and explained gently, "Just now, a bad person lied to mommy and said that he replaced the baby with a robot and stole the real baby. Mommy wanted to confirm it..."

Qiao Ning looked at Qiao Nuan in shock. "Mommy, how could you be fooled by such a stupid lie? There's no such cute robot as me in this world!"

"Mommy didn't react in time, so I came to see if my naughty son is still around..."

Qiao Ning sighed like an adult. "Mommy is silly, but it's okay. I'll protect Mommy when I grow up."

Looking at the interaction between Qiao Nuan and Qiao Ning, the doubts that Gu Cheng had initially solved intensified.

Why was Qiao Nuan able to recover so quickly after hearing the truth from Qiao Lin? Most importantly, Qiao Nuan seemed to be sure that Qiao Ning was her biological child. What was going on?

Since he couldn't figure it out, Gu Cheng decided to get straight to the point and talk to Qiao Nuan, "Miss Qiao, I have something to talk to you about."
