Chapter 2407: Chapter 2422: Five Years Later... 14
Xia Tian, "..."
In his heart, he apologized to Mommy a thousand times.
It’s not the godlike opponents you fear, but the pig-like teammates. He could guarantee that his exposure was definitely related to Su Xi and her love for money.
Beiming Han put the phone to his ear.
"Hello, is this Xia Tian? When are you coming back? I miss you already." Baobei’s soft voice came through the phone, causing Beiming Han’s body to tremble violently.
Beiming Han had never thought he liked children. On the contrary, he rather disliked them. But the young girl’s voice made him feel unlike himself; he had an urge to talk to her.
"You’re not Xia Tian? Where’s Xia Tian? You’re a bad person." Baobei detected the difference in breathing—this was clearly an adult’s breath, a man’s.
"I..." Beiming Han only managed to say one word before the call was cut off.
He stared at the phone’s call ended display, feeling quite regretful. He still wanted to hear the little girl’s soft voice, which made him feel especially warm inside.
He stood there dumbly, eyes fixed on the face opposite him that bore some resemblance to his own.
Gu Baobei hung up the phone, quickly threw off the covers, and ran out of the bedroom barefoot.
"Mommy, Mommy... something bad happened, Xia Tian was kidnapped!"
Gu Baobei’s words made Gu Qingxin’s heart tighten sharply; she had just cut her hand while slicing onions, already feeling anxious and flustered. Now with her daughter’s exclamation, she was even more panicked. Could it really be that something happened to Xia Tian?
"Baobei, what’s going on?" Gu Qingxin came out and picked up her daughter.
Baobei anxiously recounted what had happened, tears streaming down her face out of worry for Xia Tian.
"Baobei, don’t be scared, your brother will be alright. I’ll call him right now."
As Gu Qingxin was about to redial the number, Baobei suddenly fainted in front of her, her small body hitting the ground, causing Gu Qingxin to drop her phone.
...
Su Xi was pushed in by Huangfu Ye, already beaten to a pulp.
"Xia Tian, save me!" Su Xi cried out, her face twisted in despair.
Xia Tian wanted to cover his face, refusing to admit being acquainted with Su Xi.
"Boss, did you catch the person... huh, you’re... you’re the little brat who ran into my boss at the airport!" Huangfu Ye recognized Xia Tian, staring wide-eyed in astonishment. My God, this kid really looks like the boss.
"Young master, we’ve searched everywhere upstairs and down, there’s no one else here, just this little boy." The bodyguard came to report.
Beiming Han pulled a chair to sit down, just about to speak when Huangfu Ye rushed over, asking, "Little friend, how old are you? When’s your birthday?"
Su Xi tried to come over and grab Xia Tian’s leg but was held at gunpoint by a bodyguard, leaving her to crouch in fear.
"I’m six years old today, just had my birthday a few days ago." Xia Tian smiled sweetly, kidding, he wasn’t going to tell the truth.
"Six, born in winter, that’s not right, not right..." Huangfu Ye murmured to himself.
"What are you doing?" Beiming Han frowned at him, Huangfu Ye’s reaction was odd.
"Haha... nothing, nothing at all!"
Huangfu Ye forced a laugh. After the boss’s surgery-induced amnesia, he and his second brother were anxious, but believing that not bringing up Qingxin would help in the boss’s recovery, they hadn’t dared to mention her, fearing it would be too much of a shock.
