Se connecterIn the evening, Qing Han took us to his parents' house for dinner. Auntie Wu was so happy to see us.And he couldn't stay away from Tuan Tuan. Qing Han had just told them the truth about Tuan Tuan being his son.“I knew it,” Auntie Wu said. “The moment I saw him, I knew he was my grandson. He looked exactly the same as Han when he was young.”Of course, I had seen the expression on her face that night. She must have known, but decided to stay quiet.Even Mr. Qin, Qing Han's dad, seemed happy for the first time. He didn't ignore me like he used to in the past.“You did well, Ah Xiu. We are sorry for all the trouble that our family made you go through,” he said.At least, for the first time, I didn't feel scared of being with his whole family. Tuan Tuan's family was growing too.He was going to have people who loved and cared for him. At least, he wouldn't have a childhood as horrible as mine.I sighed in relief, knowing that I had made the right decision by allowing Qing Han into Tuan
I watched Tang Liu leave with a heavy heart. Somehow, I still felt confused. I felt like I needed to ask him a lot more questions. Or maybe I was just scared that I wouldn't be able to see him ever again.Qing Han gently held my hand and looked at my face. “Are you okay?” he asked.I nodded, but I knew that my expression gave me away.Qing Han wiped away imaginary tears from my face and hugged me tightly. “Don't worry. You will see him again.”I pursed my lips and sighed deeply. “You seem so sure about that,” I said. I had stated that all my life without ever seeing them. What made him so sure that they would show up again?“Am I ever wrong?” he asked teasingly. And I rolled my eyes at him. Why was he becoming so full of himself?He chuckled and held my hands again. “Come on, Tuan Tuan must be worried about us. I want to take you guys somewhere,” he said.I looked at him curiously. “Where?”He smiled. “Don't worry. It's not a bad place this time.”We picked up Tuan Tuan from the compa
After a while, I calmed down and looked at Qing Han. “Did he give you Happy Harbour's location?” I asked.Qing Han nodded. “Yeah, I have sent men to check it out,” he said.I nodded back and stayed silent for a while again. “What should we do with him?”Qing Han held my cheeks and looked into my eyes. “What does your heart tell you?”I sighed, looking back at the bunker. I didn't know what to think at the time.“He saved you at the park, and that's a good sign,” he said. “He probably just wants his little sister…”I rubbed my hair again. I knew that Qing Han always had a good judgment of people. He didn't think Tang Liu was a bad person.“Confirm the address and then release him?” I asked.Qing Han nodded with a smile. “Don't worry, you won't regret this,” he said.It didn't take long before Qing Han's men confirmed that Happy Harbour was actually at the location given.But we all knew that it would be stupid to act without any preparation. So Qing Han asked some men to keep an eye ou
Tang Liu blinked. “I knew her for a while. She was a great woman,” he said, his eyes turning a little red.I felt annoyed that he was joking about my mom. I didn't like it when anyone talked about my mom.So I walked closer and grabbed his chin. “How do you know my mom?”I was expecting him to tense up or something, but he remained so calm. He didn't even flinch from the pain I was causing him.“Take it slow, little sister,” he said, looking back into my eyes gently.“What… what did you call me?” I asked, freezing in place. He didn't look like he was just joking around.Tang Liu sighed. “You wanted to know who I am, right? I'm your big brother. We share a dad,” he spoke softly.But this was a very big shock to me. I had expected that maybe he was just someone who knew my dad. I didn't expect him to know my dad.“Bullshit!” I said, shaking my head at him. I still didn't believe him.He struggled to hold me with his chained-up hands. “Hey,” he called softly. “This is not how we had plan
Qing Han took me to a bunker on the outskirts of the city. He always used it to hold his prisoners.When we stopped in front of the supposed door, I paused for a second and looked up at Qing Han.The man inside had insisted on talking to me. I wasn't sure what he was going to say.“I'm coming in with you,” Qing Han said.But I held his hand and shook my head at him. “No,” I said. “Just watch from the screen and come in the moment you think something is not right.”Even though the man had saved me at the park, I still wasn't sure he could be trusted. What if he hurt me while I was in there with him?“Okay,” Qing Han said. He held my cheeks and kissed my lips. “Shout anything if you sense something is off too. I'll get you out of there.”When the door opened, I saw the man tied to a chair. There was some blood on his face, which meant that he had been tortured.The moment he heard me walk in, he looked up at me. I noticed that his expression kept changing, like he had just noticed somet
Even though Qing Han was reluctant, he allowed me to go with him to meet the man from the park. But there was another problem that I hadn't foreseen. Tuan Tuan looked at me, fully dressed, and blinked in confusion. “Mama…” he said. “Big Xuan is not around to watch me. Can I come with you? I don't want to go to daycare…” I scratched my head and looked at Qing Han. I was sure that wherever we were going would never be safe enough for a child. So taking him with us was never going to be an option. “Mama?“ Tuan Tuan called anxiously. He really didn't like daycare. And Xiao Yu was obviously at work already. I couldn't get a babysitter in such a short period of time. I sighed deeply, realizing how helpful Mo Xuan had been all that time. I had just never noticed it. “Mama?“ Tuan Tuan called again. “I'm thinking, sweetheart,” I said, sighing deeply again. But Qing Han stepped forward like it wasn't a big deal. “Hey, buddy. Mommy and Daddy have something we really need to take care of
I called Mo Xuan, and he admitted that he had Tuan Tuan. However, he was still mad at me for ignoring his calls the previous day, so he only gave me an address before hanging up. I was a little mad at him too. He hadn’t even said anything about coming to the country. How could he take Tuan Tuan a
It was late by the time I got to Yu’s place. I had texted her earlier to pick Tuan Tuan up from daycare because I knew I wouldn’t make it on time.Tuan Tuan had a pout on his face when he saw me. “You promised to pick me up, Mama,” he said in his childish voice.I sighed deeply and pulled him into
A painful lump formed in my throat the moment Qing Han began speaking. Since he thought he couldn’t hurt me enough, he had decided to target my friends.First, I knew that if he really investigated, he would find out that the report was forged. Then he would find out about Tuan Tuan.He was going t
…While Chen Xiu and Mo Xuan were having fun, Qing Han was standing by the window of the house across the street.His brother, Qing An Xin, was playing on his phone, still not sure why his brother had, who never liked it visit him, shown up at his house and gone straight to the window.“What are yo
