119 Hungry (2/2)

Su Lian looks away and does not reply to him.

He doesn't mind and continues, ”I need to be strong for the both of us. I want to be a shoulder for you to lean on.”

He drives to a convenience store and only gets her a few light snacks to eat because he knows that she won't eat any real food, but he can't let her go hungry.

Han Yuan's phone rings again. He picks it up and stays silent as the person on the other end of the line speaks. Su Lian raises her head to stare at him, hoping it's Shen Xun.

”Alright. Just wait for me” Han Yuan ends the call and puts the phone away

”Who was it?” she asks almost immediately.

”One of my men.” He starts the car engine again. ”They found Shen Xun, she's not too far from here so we'll head over there now.”

.....

A few men in black surround an abandoned building. They calmly stay hidden while waiting for Mr. Han to arrive.

Shen Xun, sitting inside is oblivious to all of this. All of her attention is on the boy in front of her.

Su Yichen has stopped crying but he still doesn't eat the bread she offered.

His little stomach growled. He was going out to eat with his mother before she kidnapped him.

Shen Xun stares at him and sighs before closing her eyes. ”We're going to leave in the morning and from then on you will only be able to eat scraps. If you don't eat this now, you'll starve.”
