Qi Lei was filled with despair!
He really felt that the driver's well-meaning explanation might as well have not been explained!
Because Gu Xinzhou must already be at the dinner table by now, half an hour, or even longer, by the time the traffic clears and he gets there, she would have certainly left.
After she leaves with Jiang Cheng, where they would go, and what would happen, would be even more untraceable!
"Daddy!"
McDull suddenly asked, "Daddy, are you looking for mommy? How about McDull calls her?"
Qi Lei's eyes lit up!
He thought that the Young Master was like a little angel, simply too adorable!
Song Zhen reached out to ask Qi Lei for his phone, Qi Lei promptly handed it over, and Song Zhen used Qi Lei's phone to call Gu Xinzhou and turned on the speaker.
The driver and Qi Lei dared not look back.
The phone was in Song Zhen's hand, and McDull's little face was close to it.
The call was quickly answered: "Qi Lei?"
"Mommy! I'm McDull!"
The moment McDull heard Gu Xinzhou's name, his face beamed with a smile.
The joyful expression was unmistakable, even happier than when he was with Song Zhen.
His big eyes curved like the moon above, and his chubby hands gestured excitedly by his side: "Mommy! McDull misses you so much!"
Song Zhen felt a pang in his heart.
Yet, he thought it natural for a son to be close to his mother, given all the efforts Gu Xinzhou had put in.
Gu Xinzhou's voice turned reproachful, "You little traitor, why won't you come home?"
McDull felt aggrieved: "I came back from Little Xiahua's house last night, and once I boarded daddy's pirate ship, I wasn't in charge anymore.
Mommy, I'm just a kid, I can't beat daddy nor outwit him, what can I do?
Even if I ran away in the middle of the night, I had no money on me, and I didn't know the way, so pitiful!
If I had run away from home and got lost, with me being so lovable to everyone and delighting all who see me, what if someone took me home to keep, then you'd never see me again!"
Song Zhen was initially upset by the child's earlier words, wondering why he couldn't stand with him, why he had to say he boarded his pirate ship.
But upon hearing what the child said later, his face darkened: "That won't happen! Whoever dares to kidnap my son, Song Zhen's son, I will have his whole family pay a price they cannot afford!"
Upon hearing Song Zhen's voice, Gu Xinzhou immediately hung up the phone!
McDull looked up bewilderedly at Song Zhen: "What's wrong? Is the call over?"
Song Zhen: "..."
He looked out the car window, at the long line of cars forming a queue, unable to move forward or retreat.
Song Zhen's gaze landed on the driver's head.
The driver felt a chill on his scalp and instinctively glanced in the rear-view mirror only to see the Boss staring at him.
He shrank his neck and proactively offered his own phone.
Thus, the second call made to Gu Xinzhou was from the driver's number.
Gu Xinzhou had considered that it might be Song Zhen, but she also didn't want to miss any business from the TV station, so she answered: "Hello, this is Gu Xinzhou."
"Mommy!"
McDull called out excitedly: "Mommy! What are you doing? McDull hasn't eaten yet, I miss you so much, McDull is hungry, and apart from the food you make, I don't want to eat anything else!"
Song Zhen affectionately kissed his son's little cheek.
Unfortunately, that kiss was a bit loud.
Smack!
A crisp sound carried precisely to the other end of the phone!
Gu Xinzhou was utterly speechless; what she truly wanted was for Song Zhen to simplify things, not to create so many complications, but to bring more sincere and natural elements.
Yet, Song Zhen would never understand this principle.
