"Bai Tingxin should be able to find out who did it." Ling Yiran's eyes fell on Zhuo Qianyun's belly. "You're pregnant, and running a store is hard. Why don't I find someone to help you out? You can take over the store again when your body recovers after you give birth to your baby.""No thanks, I'm doing okay. And I recently stopped having morning sickness. The baby's rather obedient and doesn't give me much trouble. My mom can still help me out. If we face any trouble, I’ll definitely ask for your help. Don’t worry.” Zhuo Qianyun said with a smile.All Ling Yiran could say was, "Call me if you need anything.""Okay," answered Zhuo Qianyun.After leaving Zhuo Qianyun's place, Ling Yiran went to see Qin Lianyi. She wanted to ask whether they had found any clues regarding the poison injection. However, she was shocked when she reached Qin Lianyi and Bai Tingxin's mansion."What... What is he doing here?" Ling Yiran looked in shock at the little boy sitting on the couch while holdi
"Good boy!" Qin Lianyi replied with a smile. Sure enough, the words ‘Aunt Qin’ were more pleasant to the ears.Ling Yiran continued to ask curiously, "Why do you want to be with Yiyi? You seem to have said you wanted to be with Yiyi when Aunt Qin was pregnant with her, right?"Shaking his head, the little boy said, "I can't tell you!"'He can't tell me?' Curiosity flashed across Ling Yiran's eyes. In other words, there must be a reason for this but it was a secret.In conclusion, there was no way a seven or eight-year-old child could fall in love with a baby at first sight!"Do you have superpowers?" Ling Yiran asked again.The little boy blinked, clearly puzzled."Why were you so sure Aunt Qin was carrying a girl when you first saw her? And why could your blood save Aunt Qin and wake her up?" asked Ling Yiran."Yeah, why?" Qin Lianyi also widened her eyes and looked at the child in front of her in curiosity.She was so amazed the last time he came to see Yiyi that she forgot
"By the way, what's your name?" asked Ling Yiran."Wu Mochen." The boy did not hide it from her.Bai Yiyi enjoyed being burped and fell asleep soon after.The little boy reluctantly returned Bai Yiyi to the maid, got up, and said, "Well, goodbye.""Are you going home alone? Shall I take you home?" asked Ling Yiran.Qin Lianyi said, "That's not necessary. Someone will pick him up. Don't worry, he's very important to his family!" Last time, she tried to send him back, but she saw a row of cars parked at the gate. They were there just to... pick up the heir of the Wu family!There was probably a row of cars parked outside her house by now.After Wu Mochen left, Ling Yiran asked Qin Lianyi, "By the way, have you found out who’s the culprit behind the toxin injection?""Tingxin said he found some clues. He just has to make sure," said Qin Lianyi."Where is he? Is he out today?" Speaking of Bai Tingxin, Ling Yiran just remembered she had not seen Bai Tingxin even though she had arri
Bai Tingxin slowly opened his eyes, got up, and looked at his mother.Qi Yueyun was all dressed up as she still wanted to leave the best impression of herself on others even when abroad.As long as his mother did not hurt Lianyi, he could satisfy everything she wanted. He could let her live a good life, keep a toyboy, or even indulge in a life of luxury.However, it seemed that his mother was always constantly testing his bottom line no matter how he tried to satisfy her.Bai Tingxin's icy gaze made the remaining sarcastic words Qi Yueyun wanted to say get stuck in her throat. "Why... are you looking at me like that?" Qi Yueyun felt a sudden unease.'Does my son's sudden visit here mean... No, no. I did it so carefully that no one would find out about it. Even if they did find something, they wouldn’t be able to trace it back to me.'"I thought you and I could live in peace by letting you stay here, and I could take care of you until you died. But it seems I was too naive," Bai
Qi Yueyun looked at her son mockingly and said, "If I go to prison, I won't be the only one humiliated but the Bai family and Bai Feng Group will be too. Bai Feng Group's stocks will plummet, and the shareholders will suffer heavy losses. Do you think you can stay as president?"Qi Yueyun had thought of a way out for herself in such a short period of time."You can only let this go. From now on, I’ll live my days here, while you can live yours back in Bai Residence!" said Qi Yueyun.Bai Tingxin smiled faintly. "Yes, you'll live your life here, but you can never leave this place!"Qi Yueyun froze. "What do you mean? Are you going to lock me up in here? Are you going to lock up your own mother?""You can call it 'locking up'. You’ll spend the rest of your life in this old castle. Someone will take care of you, but you can forget about the life of luxury you want," said Bai Tingxin.Qi Yueyun immediately said furiously, "What right do you have to lock me up? I can leave whenever I w
"I'm already back, but I have something to take care of in the office. It's urgent, so I'm not going home tonight. I'll be back tomorrow. You should rest early. Don't exhaust yourself!" said Bai Tingxin."Oh, okay. By the way, do you want to make a video call so I can show you Yiyi?" said Qin Lianyi. Since Yiyi was born, Bai Tingxin would make video calls to see their daughter whenever he took a break from work in the office. Qin Lianyi could foresee that her husband would probably dote on their daughter very much in the future.However, Bai Tingxin said, "No thanks. I can see her when I get home tomorrow anyway. I have a lot of work to do right now, so I'm going to hang up." With that said, he ended the call.Qin Lianyi looked at the phone in her hand and somehow felt a surge of uneasiness course within her.She thought that he was acting a little strange.He usually seemed as if he could not get enough of their daughter. Besides that, his voice sounded a little strange on the ph
Bai Tingxin suddenly stiffened. Then, he slowly looked up at her as if in slow motion. "What... are you doing here?" he asked hoarsely with a forced smile.She was taken aback by the exhausted look on his face. "Are you exhausted from your trip overseas? You look so tired. Why don't you go home and rest? You can continue with your work after having a good rest."Qin Lianyi said as she walked up to Bai Tingxin. "What time did you come back today? You didn't call me when you got off the plane."Instead of answering her, Bai Tingxin suddenly hugged her around the waist while his face was pressed against her belly.Qin Lianyi froze. "What's the matter? Did... something happen?"Her voice was so gentle, and the weight on his heart only grew heavier.How was he going to tell her that the real culprit who almost killed her and their baby was his mother? How was he going to tell her that he had only gotten justice by stopping his mother from ever leaving the old castle? He did not send
Bai Tingxin raised his hands and gently pulled Qin Lianyi's hands down into his palms."But even so, I gave her a way out. I didn't give the evidence to the police right away. I just made sure she won’t be able to leave her home for the rest of her life. I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." muttered Bai Tingxin.He kept his head down and apologized profusely.Qin Lianyi said, "Tingxin, you've done enough for me. Don't apologize again. You've done nothing wrong! You made sure your mother can never leave her house, and that’s no different from imprisonment. Did you think I would still blame you or think you were being partial to your mother?""I..." He opened his mouth. The woman in front of him seemed to know what he feared most."I'm glad that you didn't keep me in the dark. You claimed justice for me. Even though the culprit is your mother, you still acted on my behalf and didn’t cover it up or act as if nothing ever happened," said Qin Lianyi.He froze before slowly looking up again. "Yo
