A young policewoman escorted Jin Qiao out of the small interview room.
The cameraman had already turned off the livestream and was waiting with Yu Siyi in the lobby for Jin Qiao to come out.
“Miss Officer, those two people are very likely traffickers. You should investigate them.”
Jin Qiao said it jokingly.
“Human traffickers really have been rampant lately. We’ll verify their identities as well.”
Jin Qiao nodded.
The moment Yu Siyi saw his mother come out, he rushed toward her while holding back his tiny grievances.
Jin Qiao immediately picked up her son and comforted him as they walked outside.
“Alright then, bye-bye pretty police sister~ Baby, hurry and say goodbye to sister.”
Yu Siyi lifted his head from his mother’s arms and obediently waved his tiny hand at the policewoman.
The moment they stepped out of the station, they ran into an extremely handsome man.
“You’re pretty impressive. You even managed to take your son on a tour of the police station.”
Yu An’s tone dripped with sarcasm.
Jin Qiao really couldn’t deny what had already happened.
What she actually wanted to know was how this man even knew she had taken their son out and somehow ended up visiting the police station too.
Could it be…
Had he also been watching the livestream?
The way she looked at him suddenly became meaningful.
The moment he saw her expression, Yu An knew exactly what she was thinking and explained immediately,
“Our son informed me.”
As he spoke, he pointed at the smartwatch phone on Yu Siyi’s wrist.
Fair enough.
A son asking his dad for help was perfectly understandable.
Grrrrrrr…
A strange rumbling sound echoed between the three of them.
Yu Siyi covered his little stomach embarrassedly and buried himself deeper into Jin Qiao’s arms.
“You’re really something, huh? You even managed to starve the kid like this.”
Jin Qiao suddenly realized her own hunger was kicking in too.
She’d been too busy doing a good deed earlier that she’d completely forgotten!
She’d even let her son go hungry!
“Have you eaten yet?”
Yu An was caught off guard by her random question and subconsciously shook his head.
“Okay then, let’s go together. My treat. You drove here, right?”
Yu An nodded again.
“Oh right, Xiao Li, take this cameraman back.”
“We’re eating barbecue~ eating barbecue~”
Yu An said nothing and obediently acted as the driver, taking them to Jinda.
“I’m really sorry for making our baby go hungry.”
Jin Qiao gently kneaded Yu Siyi’s soft cheeks apologetically.
Yu Siyi absolutely didn’t blame his mother.
He thought Mommy was incredible.
She could send people flying with one kick!!!
That was seriously cool beyond words!
After arriving at Jinda, Jin Qiao brought one big and one small person into the private room she had reserved and started ordering dishes.
Once the meat arrived, Jin Qiao completely took over the grill.
“Is there anything you don’t eat? Any food restrictions?”
She asked Yu An first.
After all, it was her first time treating him to a meal, so she didn’t really know his preferences.
“I don’t eat lamb.”
His voice was calm and emotionless.
Jin Qiao didn’t take his indifference to heart.
After all, she and Yu An genuinely weren’t close.
Besides, she didn’t like lamb either, so she hadn’t ordered any in the first place.
Once the meat was grilled, she barely ate any herself.
One piece went to her son, another to the man sitting across from her.
She served them the entire time like full-time staff.
Yu Siyi wanted to try grilling too, but Jin Qiao firmly refused.
If hot oil splattered onto a child’s hands, that would be terrible.
In the end, Jin Qiao made a fierce decision in her heart—
Barbecue was officially blacklisted from family dining.
This kind of food was best enjoyed alone at a separate table!
Throughout the meal, Yu An silently observed Jin Qiao.
Some strange emotions gradually spread through his heart.
After dropping Jin Qiao and Yu Siyi back home, Yu An drove back to the company again.
Meanwhile, Jin Qiao comfortably soaked in the bathtub.
Back at the company, Yu An stared blankly at the two documents on his desk.
The documents had the same name.
But the personalities, habits, and behaviors described inside were completely different.
They were practically records of two unrelated people.
Yu An raised a hand and rubbed his temples.
Everything was indeed exactly as he had guessed back then.
Jin Qiao had returned.
But she no longer remembered him.
Back when she left, she hadn’t even said a word.
After giving birth to the child, she disappeared silently without leaving him even a trace of attachment.
Heartless woman.
I’m not forgiving her so easily.
He abruptly stood up, grabbed his coat, and decisively drove home.
By the time Yu An arrived home, all the lights in the house were already off.
On the master bedroom bed, Jin Qiao was sleeping soundly while wrapped tightly in the blanket like a dumpling.
Yu An’s gaze darkened slightly before he silently headed into the bathroom.
The next morning began with Jin Qiao repeatedly shouting,
“Huh? Huh? HUH?!”
“Y-you came back last night?!”
“A-and why didn’t you resist when I hugged you like that?!”
Yu An found her reaction rather amusing.
“And how exactly do you think I should’ve resisted?”
“You should’ve just pushed me away! Or—or you could’ve woken me up!”
“Alright. I’ll definitely do that next time.”
“Okay.”
Wait.
Next time?!
There’s still going to be a next time?!
What kind of nonsense is this?!
Only then did Jin Qiao properly study Yu An.
He belonged to that bad-boy handsome type, but somehow also gave off golden retriever boyfriend energy.
Exactly her type.
She silently praised him inwardly.
Sensing her gaze, Yu An deliberately avoided looking at her so he could better show off his superior side profile.
After all, back then he’d successfully used this face to win her over.
Jin Qiao had even said before that he was exactly her type.
But now she only stared at him without making any moves!
Could it be that after all these years, he’d somehow lost his looks?!
Thus, President Yu successfully developed appearance anxiety early in the morning.
Jin Qiao genuinely wanted to touch him a little.
But her rationality tightly restrained her restless heart.
Sigh.
Being able to look but not touch was suffering.
Over the next few days, Jin Qiao discovered Yu An had become seriously strange.
Before, he’d been so busy with work that she barely ever saw him.
But now he came home for dinner every single day!
And at night, he even slept in the master bedroom.
Jin Qiao had protested before.
Only to be defeated by a single sentence:
“We’re husband and wife. If we don’t sleep in the same room, what will our son think?”
And just like that, Jin Qiao lost.
Then the very next day, the man handed her a black card.
All dissatisfaction and resentment instantly vanished into smoke.
Beloved card, kiss kiss.
These days, Yu Siyi spent every daytime together with Jin Qiao.
Meanwhile, Jin Qiao accompanied him in doing whatever he wanted.
Their lives had become incredibly peaceful and comfortable.
Yu Siyi also grew increasingly lively.
Originally such a skinny, tiny child, he’d recently started eating better and had even gained a little weight.
“Recently our Siyi feels so nice to hug~ Hurry and let Mommy cuddle you.”
Yu Siyi obediently threw himself into her arms.
Jin Qiao lifted him and bounced him lightly.
“Not bad. You finally gained some weight.”
Wrapping his arms around Jin Qiao’s neck, Yu Siyi pointed toward the notebook on the table.
“You want me to go buy notebooks with you again?”
Mhm mhm.
Yu Siyi blinked his big eyes at her.
“Go change your shoes and let’s go. Mommy’s snack stash is almost wiped out too, so come restock supplies with me!”
One big and one small person walked out hand-in-hand.
After spending so much time together lately, even Aunt Wu felt as though she were living in a dream.
Madam treated everyone well now. She no longer randomly lost her temper or smashed things around the house, and she treated the young master incredibly kindly too.
Even if it were an act, no one could fake it to this extent, right?
Madam truly seemed to have realized her mistakes.
How wonderful.
Young Master had started coming home much more often now too.
This house finally felt like a real home.
Just after finishing another massive shopping spree, Jin Qiao and Yu Siyi received a call from the production team while walking hand-in-hand down the street.
