C49 (1/2)

Shen Xi Ming stood up, picking up his suit jacket and said coldly, ”Alright, I'll grant you your wish. We'll work together as you wish. The condition is that you use my son in exchange.”

With her son by her side, at the very least, they would be able to have the only connection.

Qin Xiaoshui's body shook violently, before she quickly got up, ”Shen Xuming, what are you trying to say?”

He had already taken a step out of the door with his long legs. Qin Xiaohai chased her to the door, and only when a gust of cold wind blew did she realize that her clothes were already half faded. She quickly hid behind the door and watched as the man disappeared into the corridor.

Qin Xiaotao returned to her room and quickly took out her cell phone. She skillfully pressed a set of numbers until a familiar number appeared in front of her. It was only then that she realized she had memorized his phone number.

After a moment's hesitation, she pressed the dial button.

At the end of the ringtone, the phone finally connected.

”Hey, Shen Xi Ming, what's the meaning of this? Speak clearly, Xiao Han is my son, it has nothing to do with you. I still have to tell you a few times.” There was an unconcealable sense of urgency and unease in his words.

After two seconds of silence, his lazy voice slowly came back, ”Oh? ”Is that so?”

Without further explanation, Qin Xiaotao waited for a while and realized that he wouldn't say anything else. She quickly said, ”Of course, Xiao Han has nothing to do with you. You are not allowed to touch my son.”

”No? ”Heh heh, Qin Xiaohai, was your son born by yourself?”

”You … I... It has nothing to do with you anyway, ”Qin Xiaotao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.” If I'm not careful, I won't be able to recover.

”Shen Xi Ming, let me tell you, if you dare touch my son, I will definitely make you regret it.” His voice was much quieter than before.

Shen Xi Ming smirked, ”I'll wait and see.” He hung up the phone, started the car, and drove out of the underground garage. Nana and the others, who had just come back from supper, saw a luxurious car drive out of the hotel's garage, and couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Qin Xiaotao heard a beep coming from the phone. She opened her mouth, but swallowed her words back in. He hung up on her, for the first time.

In these five years, everything had changed. A bitter smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

She dialed her mother's number, but it was her father who answered. ”Hello, little seep, are you here yet?”

”Yes, we've arrived. We arrived in the afternoon and were always busy. I forgot to call you guys. Where's mom and Xiao Han?”

”Oh, your mom is bathing Xiao Han. Just you wait.” A rustling sound could be heard from the other side. After a while, a son's voice could be heard, ”Mommy, I missed you so much. When are you coming back?”

The voice on the other side seemed to have been amplified, making it seem somewhat empty.

Hearing her son's voice, her floating heart gradually sank into the ground.

”Mommy misses you too. You have to listen to your grandparents at home, don't be naughty, okay?”

However, his son's next words made the warm atmosphere a bit weird, ”Mommy, did you go to China to look for Daddy? Did you see Daddy? Does he want to see Xiao Han? You have to tell Daddy that Xiao Han misses him. ”

The Qin couple were naturally amazed. As for Qin Xiaohai, even though they could feel the chill through the screen, Qin Zihan, who was in the bathtub, couldn't help but shiver.

Qin Xiaotao couldn't help but hold her forehead. That little fellow had clearly promised her that he wouldn't mention that she had met him in London again. She really believed it.

Sure enough, his mother picked up the phone, ”Little Hai, what's going on? What dad? Did you see him? ” Wang Lianxi said in a low voice as she walked out of the bathroom with her cellphone.
