This was not like the usual strong businesswoman.
This girlish demeanor was something Luo Qinghan had only shown to Lin Xiao over the years. To others, she was the CEO of the Luo family, the strong woman who carried the family's banner.
Seeing her in this vulnerable, girlish state tugged at Lin Xiao's heart.
"I dreamt about the past again... I dreamt of that day you didn't come to save me..."
"Don't worry, I will never leave you. Forever and ever, I'll be with you." Lin Xiao lowered his voice, picking Luo Qinghan up. He would leave this room for Xun'er to sleep in; now, he needed to comfort the mother of his child.
"Mmm... You don't need to comfort me. I know, it was just a nightmare." Luo Qinghan held Lin Xiao's hand, her voice very, very soft. She clutched Lin Xiao's collar tightly.
"I'm just... a little unaccustomed to nights when you're suddenly not here."
Luo Qinghan looked up at Lin Xiao.
These past few days, the first person she saw when she woke up was Lin Xiao. When she slept, Lin Xiao was by her side. When she was at work, Lin Xiao would find ways to be with her constantly. Moreover, whether it was life, work, or any other social engagement, Lin Xiao would arrange everything perfectly. If there was anything she couldn't solve, she didn't even need to speak; it would all be resolved. Kuaishu Ge
Today, Lin Xiao suddenly left, saying he was going to work. She understood, but she was a little unaccustomed to it.
She was no longer the strong woman who could single-handedly care for children, deal with relatives at home, and be busy at the company.
She now had someone to rely on. She didn't need to be so tense, so exhausted...
"I will do my best to minimize your discomfort." Lin Xiao held her and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, no matter what time it is, I will return by the next morning, make you a hot meal, wake you up, and accompany you and the child."
"You don't have to... I know, you're very busy. What you need to do is more important than me..."
"Nothing is more important than coming back to see you." Lin Xiao interrupted her. "I'm not as busy here as you think. If I'm busy, it means someone on my end has failed."
Luo Qinghan thought for a moment. It seemed to be the case. "Then... what did you go to do tonight?"
She hadn't really intended to ask about Lin Xiao's work, but curiosity got the better of her. As soon as she spoke, she quickly added, "If you can't say, then don't."
"There's nothing I can't say."
Lin Xiao said, "A child of an old comrade was kidnapped, so I went with several old comrades overnight to help him retrieve the child."
A simple, easy-to-understand sentence.
Luo Qinghan heard it and said, "So fast?"
"Not that fast. The comrade's child had been missing for about a month and hadn't been found," Lin Xiao replied.
"Oh..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qinghan pondered for a moment and said, "It seems someone really has failed."
After a month without finding the child, it was indeed a failure.
"Coincidentally, I also resolved a rather troublesome cult organization and helped another comrade clear his name," Lin Xiao continued.
"Ah?"
Luo Qinghan felt there were quite a few stories within this.
