Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Baby, Don’t Rush

"Oh... so Aunt Xiao Shao likes to play a lot?" The little boy looked at Zhu Qianying with skepticism.

Zhu Qianying persisted in her cover story, apologizing silently to her friend in her heart, "Yes, didn’t you know? Your Aunt Xiao Shao is more playful than Mommy!"

The little boy touched her face, "No, Mommy doesn’t play for fun! Mommy is brave..."

It seemed that Zhu Qianying’s activities had inadvertently instilled this idea in the boy - that the adventurous activities his mother participated in were not merely for fun, but a conquest.

Conquering difficulties and possibilities that seemed impossible.

"Hmm, you were very brave too..."

Zhu Qianying tried to coax the little boy into recounting the incident and giving a healthy outlet for his deep fear and shock.

Initially agreeing to chat with her, the boy dropped his gaze and started reading his fairy tale book again after hearing her words.

His obvious avoidance dissuaded Zhu Qianying from probing any further.

As she was trying to counsel the little boy, the phone on Mr. Yan’s desk started to ring.

Mr. Yan picked up the phone and glanced unconsciously at the mother and son before answering, "Speak!"

While he was speaking, he stood up and quickly walked out of the study room with the phone.

"Sir, it turns out, he’s an orphan."

Mr. Yan frowned slightly, "What about the others, have they been thoroughly investigated?"

"Sir, we’ve checked and their backgrounds and assets are all crystal clear, their accounts are also perfectly normal."

Mr. Yan grunted in response, "Keep looking!"

After hanging up the phone with Ke Kai, the phone rang again. It was not from Ke Kai or Qin Xiu, but his uncle this time.

He had informed his uncle about the little boy’s situation and asked him to check out the current situation of the Lu Family.

"Xiao Han, is the little boy feeling better?"

As soon as Yan Yuan spoke, he asked about the little boy’s condition.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle. He’s physically recovering well, but he hasn’t mentioned the incident."

When it involves his son’s physical and mental health, Mr. Yan would not pretend to be brave. And Yan Yuan, with his extensive experience, may be able to solve problems that Mr. Yan could not.

"That’s normal. I’ve seen cases where special forces personnel couldn’t remember anything after returning from a mission. They also had to be rescued at the time."

Upon hearing a relevant case, Mr. Yan immediately asked anxiously, "How is he now?"

"I didn’t look into it any further, after all, he’s not directly under my command. I will find out more later. Also, the last member of the Lu family was caught about half a month ago so it’s unlikely they’d reach this far. You should keep an eye on those families in L City. I will pay more attention to the Lu family side."

Yan Yuan’s response significantly narrowed down Mr. Yan’s scope.

"Daddy, I want to eat seafood..."

As soon as Mr. Yan walked in, the little boy started to whimper.

He immediately knew that Zhu Qianying couldn’t satisfy him, so he turned to Mr. Yan, acting cute and sweet.

"Baby, didn’t the doctor say to eat light food for a few days..."

Mr. Yan exchanged looks with Zhu Qianying; both looking quite troubled.

"But I just want to eat..."

The little boy had been very well-behaved these past few days. It was only during this meal that he became a bit insistent and refused to give up without getting his way.

After being cajoled by his father, the little boy snuggled up against Zhu Qianying a few times.

"Mommy, I’ve been eating porridge for two days, my mouth has gone bland..."

Zhu Qianying didn’t know where the little boy had picked up this crude language, but it was the truth.

He was a little foodie, very fond of eating and could eat a lot. Making him drink porridge every day was indeed hard for him.

"Alright, let Mommy ask the doctor to see what seafood you can eat. We can ask Daddy to buy it, okay?"

Zhu Qianying, as his mother, was the first to give in.

The little foodie’s eyes sparkled as he nodded eagerly. He lay on Zhu Qianying, watching as she called the doctor.

In the end, the doctor said that a small quantity of warm but not heating fish could be eaten. However, seafood like shrimp, crabs, and mollusks couldn’t be eaten yet.

Zhu Qianying carefully noted down the different types of fish the doctor mentioned and instructed the servants to go and buy them after hanging up.

There was finally some food on the table for lunch, however, the little boy could only eat porridge, fish, and some finely chopped green vegetables.

Even so, the little boy was extremely satisfied and ate heartily, prompting Zhu Qianying to constantly remind him, "Baby, eat slowly, don’t rush..."

From a certain perspective, the little boy’s good appetite was a good thing.

Nevertheless, he still had no intention of talking about the incident.

Furthermore, he never once mentioned school or anything school-related.

When it was time for a nap, the little boy grabbed Zhu Qianying’s hand and asked, "Mommy, can you ask Nan Nan and Ting Ting to come over and play?"

Zhu Qianying smoothed his hair, "Today isn’t Saturday, Nan Nan and Ting Ting have school..."

The little boy simply responded with an "Oh..." before dropping the subject.

Zhu Qianying looked at him, wanting to ask if he missed his classmates and if he wanted to go back to school. But in the end, she didn’t dare to ask.

"Mommy, sleep together..."

The little boy, who had spent the morning reading fairy tales, looked exhausted. Yet, he still held onto Zhu Qianying’s hand just like he did the night before, refusing to let go.

Zhu Qianying lay beside him, listening to his faint snoring but found herself unable to sleep.

If there was a bit of wishful thinking left between her and Mr. Yan last night, it was slowly fading now.

If the little boy never talks about that day’s incident, will they eventually have to do what Teacher Xiao suggested?

Thinking about this made Zhu Qianying’s heart ache. She wished she could bear her son’s pain for him.

However, if that’s the only option they had, they just had to go ahead with it.

She lay on the bed, growing increasingly distressed. Unable to bear the torment, she quietly got up and went out to the living room.

In the living room, Mr. Yan was checking his emails on his laptop. Seeing her come out, he extended his hand to her, signaling her to come over.

Zhu Qianying snuggled up against him. These past few days, like the little boy, she found herself craving his scent and the warmth she could feel even through his clothes.

"Do we really have to do as Teacher Xiao suggested?" Zhu Qianying asked, her voice shaking slightly.

She had no understanding of what Teacher Xiao had suggested, but instinct told her that it must be a very difficult process.

"Baby, don’t worry. Uncle might have another solution!" Mr. Yan comforted her.
