“It’s our secret.” Su Bei smiled mysteriously.

Da Bao greeted him and walked away.

Su Bei took Lu Heting’s hand and walked into the room.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Heting looked down at the redness on her face.

“I just want to say that your son is really too perfect. He inherited all your outstanding genes perfectly. He’s so outstanding that I can’t help but want to thank you for giving me such a good son.”

Lu Heting was pleased by her words, and his deep eyes lit up.

Su Bei pressed him against the door and kissed his Adam’s apple.

Lu Heting’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He pressed his tongue against his cheek and reached out to pull her into his arms.

…

After Wu Jiaheng joined the set, Lil’ Hua was handed over to Mrs. Wu to take care of.

After Xiao Xi finished her work, she would always play with her for a while.

Although they were filming in the city, they were busy as soon as they entered the set. Wu Jiaheng would always return late at night. When he reached home, Lil’ Hua and Mrs. Wu would already be resting.

When he left the house the next day, they were still asleep.

He could only hear Lil’ Hua’s situation from Xiao Xi’s and see her photos on Xiao Xi’s phone.

Xiao Xi had taken many videos and photos of Lil’ Hua. The LIl’ Hua in her phone was obedient and lively. Her face was even rounder than before. As soon as Lil’ Hua saw the camera, she would smile.

“Xiao Xi, thank you for taking care of Lil’ Hua.” Wu Jiaheng returned the phone to her, his fingers accidentally touching Xiao Xi’s.

Xiao Xi quickly dodged, and her face couldn’t help but turn red.

“I remembered that my new artiste has something going on. I’ll leave first.” Xiao Xi left in a hurry.

Wu Jiaheng was disappointed. It was obvious that Xiao Xi was very resistant to his approach.

Did she really not have any feelings for him?

She was so calm in front of others, but in front of him, she was getting more and more flustered.

Wu Jiaheng frowned, not knowing what her attitude was.

After Xiao Xi went out, she touched the bracelet on her wrist before calming down and driving away.

After she was done with the new artiste, she planned to pick Lil’ Hua up to play. She had promised to bring her out to buy cotton candy.

There was not enough time. She took the shortcut to Wu Jiaheng’s residence.

With a bang, the car seemed to hit something.

Xiao Xi quickly stopped the car. As soon as the car stopped, several people rushed out from the side and hit her car with baseball bats.

The window shattered, and she was pulled out of the car by her hair.

…

When Su Bei saw Xiao Xi in the hospital, she was covered in injuries.

A police officer said, “Fortunately, someone nearby discovered the situation and called the police in time and that group of people ran away. Otherwise, the extent of her injuries would’ve been much worse. However, we haven’t caught those people yet. We’re not sure what’s going on.”

Xiao Ling was so angry that she was about to cry. “Those people are awful. They beat my sister up to this extent. President Su, do you think Li Hua hired them? That woman is very vicious. She must be jealous that my sister is able to take care of Lil’ Hua, so she specially found people to attack my sister! She’s too much!”

“We’ll focus on investigating Li Hua.” When the police officer heard this, they recorded it.

Wu Jiaheng rushed in. He was still wearing his costume and makeup.

He asked Su Bei anxiously, “President Su, how’s Xiao Xi?”

“She’s unconscious and hasn’t woken up,” Su Bei said, frowning.

He rushed to Xiao Xi’s side and took her hand.

“How dare you come?” Xiao Ling was very rude to Wu Jiaheng. “It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you and your ex-wife, my sister wouldn’t be like this.”

“You’re saying that Li Hua did it?” Wu Jiaheng clenched his fists.

Su Bei quickly said, “Xiao Ling only suspects Li Hua. Don’t be too agitated. Li Hua is a suspect, but she’s not the only suspect.”

“Who else could it be?” Xiao Ling quickly asked.

Su Bei glanced at Wu Jiaheng. He was very nervous about Xiao Xi. During this period of time, Su Bei had also sensed that the two of them were getting closer.

Hence, she didn’t mention this in front of Wu Jiaheng. Instead, after walking out with the police, she said, “It might be the Xiao family. The Xiao family is powerful to begin with, and Xiao Ming has many friends. What Xiao Xi did to Xiao Ming previously has probably angered them. Please look into them.”

The police took notes on this.

Xiao Ling was stunned. “If it’s really the Xiao family…”

She immediately felt a lingering fear.

“Don’t worry. I’ll get someone to protect you and reduce your workload. Even if the Xiao family is powerful, they can’t do whatever they want in this lawful society!” Su Bei said.

Xiao Ling calmed down and gritted her teeth. “Then they’re worse than beasts!”

Wu Jiaheng walked out and said, “President Su, can you help me apply for two days off from the production team? I want to take care of Xiao Xi.”

“Okay,” Su Bei agreed. In his current state, even if he went to film, it would be difficult for him to get into character.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ling regretted her bad attitude toward him just now.

…

The police quickly caught the people who injured Xiao Xi. At the moment, Li Hua was cleared of all suspicions.

Recently, Li Hua was being pursued due to the high-interest loans she took out to pay for her house and gambling debts. She had to go into hiding, so how could she hire people to attack Xiao Xi?

However, these people also denied that the Xiao family was the one who asked them to cause trouble for Xiao Xi. The other party had contacted them by phone, so they didn’t know who it was.

Hence, the police could punish these people, but they could not convict the Xiao family.

“How despicable.” Su Bei was furious when she heard the news.

They knew who had done it, but there was no evidence to prove it. They could only let them get away with it.

Fortunately, Xiao Xi woke up the next evening.

She woke up and opened her eyes to see Wu Jiaheng sitting at the side, waiting with red eyes.

“Jia…” Xiao Xi began, only to realize that the wound on her lip hurt badly.

Wu Jiaheng immediately got up and bent down beside her. “Xiao Xi, you’re awake? Do you want water? No, are you hungry? Wait a moment. I’ll call the doctor over first.”

Xiao Xi looked at his busy figure. Her lips twitched, and she frowned in pain.

The doctor was called over to examine Xiao Xi.

“It’s fine now that she has woken up. She has a concussion and needs to be observed for a few days. She has to recuperate well from her other injuries,” the doctor reminded her.

Xiao Xi nodded and asked with difficulty, “Where’s Lil’ Hua? I agreed to accompany her to buy cotton candy.”
