Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 364 Her Encounter with Him

Xiao Yan, who was swinging her legs and watching the show in the passenger seat, suddenly heard Bai Xiaoyu shout "Qin Shi" into her phone.

His little ears perked up. His heart pounded wildly. His father's name was Qin Shi, wasn't it? Could it be... he'd see his father soon?

Back when he was abroad, he would always pester his mother to ask about his father and sister.

Yan Lan never deliberately hid anything, nor did she ever say a bad word about Qin Shi. She simply stroked his head and said softly, "Mom and Dad got together under special circumstances. After you and my sister were born, we lost our feelings for each other and decided to separate."

Every time this topic comes up, a faint sadness always rises in his mother's eyes, like a thin mist, making his heart clench.

After returning to China this time, he secretly checked his father's information on his phone. His father had very few photos online, only a few blurry profiles. Everyone said that his father was a person who valued privacy very much.

He stared at the rain streaks on the car window, feeling both sweet and anxious. Would he really be able to see his father?

Before he could finish his thought, Qin Fang, sitting in the back seat, suddenly tugged at Bai Xiaoyu's clothes and cried out, "Daddy! Daddy, come quick! I'm sick today, my tummy hurts!"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Xiao Yan's heart. His expectations shattered instantly. He bit his lip and frowned: No, it must just be a coincidence of names! How could Dad let this guy who bullied his sister call him "Dad"?

He didn't want to see "Qin Fang's dad"; it was more reliable for him to wait for his mother at the kindergarten gate.

A few minutes after Bai Xiaoyu hung up the phone, a Maybach came to a smooth stop on the side of the road.

Qin Shi got out of the car, his sharp suit making him look exceptionally tall and imposing, and walked straight toward them.

Bai Xiaoyu quickly picked up Qin Fang and went to greet him: "Brother Qin, you've finally arrived! The car suddenly broke down, it's all that poor kid in the passenger seat's fault!"

Qin Shi looked in the direction she pointed, and the passenger seat was empty.

Qin Shi frowned slightly: "Where is the child?"

"Huh?" Bai Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then raised her voice, almost spitting out words: "He was just here! He must have known he was afraid of paying for the damage, so he ran away! I saw him fiddling with the center console buttons with my own eyes, he must have broken it!"

She got angrier and angrier as she spoke, "Look, he got sick as soon as he arrived, the car broke down as soon as he got in, and now he's trying to run away. What kind of ill-mannered child is he? How did his parents raise him?!"

Qin Shi didn't respond to her words, his tone becoming even more serious: "Don't talk about these useless things yet, hurry up and find the child. The child went missing in our car, and his parents will be frantic if they find out."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a deafening roar of an engine suddenly erupted.

A motorcycle whizzed past him like a gust of wind, with a small figure on the back seat, heading towards St. Mary's Kindergarten.

Qin Shi suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on the back of the motorcycle, and a sudden thought struck him: Why does it look so familiar?

The next second, the image of the Ghost Doctor riding his old electric scooter through the alleys suddenly flashed through his mind, and the Ghost Doctor... wasn't that Yan Lan?

He barely hesitated before turning around, opening the car door, and getting in.

The Maybach started instantly, its wheels splashing water as it sped off in the direction the motorcycle had disappeared.

The chariots of the Qin Dynasty were like arrows released from a bow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Bai Xiaoyu stood frozen by the roadside, holding Xiao Qin, the wind whipping up dust that stung her face, leaving her completely bewildered.

"Mom, why did Dad suddenly leave?"

Xiao Qin grabbed her shoulder, his voice full of surprise, "Is he abandoning us?"

Bai Xiaoyu finally came to her senses, her fingertips felt cold, and she was both shocked and angry.

How could Qin Shi just leave her and the child on the street without even an explanation! She bit her lip, staring at the direction the car disappeared in, her face turning pale and then red.

On the other hand, Yan Lan's schedule was delayed because she had to deal with Qin Shengsheng.

By the time she arrived at the kindergarten on her motorcycle, it was already dark, at 6:30 pm.

Filled with guilt for Xiao Yanchao, she rushed to the security booth at the gate without even taking off her helmet, her voice tight: "Excuse me, sir, are there any children still in the park? I've come to pick up my son, Xiao Yanchao."

The security guard glanced at her, his face instantly darkening, his tone full of reprimand: "You're Xiao Yanchao's mother? What kind of parent are you? Sending your child to school with an infectious disease and only coming to pick him up now, that's incredibly irresponsible!"

Yan Lan's brows furrowed into a tight knot, and her heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

Xiao Yanchao was born with congenital deficiencies and was weak and sickly since childhood. She was most averse to others mentioning the word "illness," especially since her son's health had improved and he was only one step away from treatment.

"Who said my son has an infectious disease?" Her voice rose involuntarily, filled with suppressed anger. "He's perfectly healthy!"

"Still trying to hide it?" The security guard shook his head, his tone so certain that it brooked no argument. "Chairman Bai already took the child to the hospital for a check-up, saying he was afraid of infecting other children."

"President Bai?" Yan Lan's heart sank, and a surge of anger rushed to her head. Her fingers, gripping the phone tightly, turned white. "What right does he have to take my son away?!"

She didn't waste any more words arguing with the security guard and quickly called her son.

Yan Lan made several calls, then suddenly panicked and realized that her son's watch had been used all day and the battery wasn't full when he left home in the morning, so it was probably already dead by now.

There's no time to worry about the battery level right now; the most important thing is to find that "Chairman Bai" and get my son back.

She gripped her phone tightly, about to turn around and ask the security guard for his contact information, when suddenly a sharp tire screeching sound came from behind her.

"squeak--"

With a thud, a black Maybach came to a steady stop in front of the kindergarten, its body gleaming with a cold, hard sheen in the twilight.

The car door opened and a tall man stepped out.

The black suit accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. The man exuded a calm and unapproachable aura, and even the way he walked carried an unmistakable sense of aloofness.

Yan Lan subconsciously turned around, and the moment her gaze met the man's face, she froze on the spot as if she had been frozen in place.

My mind went blank, with only one thought swirling around in my head.

Qin Dynasty?

Why is he here?

Yan Lan felt as if she were frozen solid; her fingertips were stiff, and even her breathing became somewhat labored.

Five years ago, in the hospital, they completely lost all contact.

She didn't leave any room for maneuver. She even deleted the WeChat account she had added with the nickname "Time".

She had thought that this would completely erase this person, along with all the entanglements of the past, from her life. But she never expected to run into him again at the kindergarten gate at such an unexpected moment.
