Pudding successfully left a bureau director speechless. Without answering the question, Gao Ran took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. “Pudding, would you mind if I have a cigarette?”
Pudding shook her head emotionlessly. She could tell from Gao Ran’s grave tone that her parents were in danger. Why else would the director of the city bureau look so worried?
Little Bean, who was playing with Gao Boyuan in the living room, seemed to have detected that something was off. She tilted her head at the balcony. “Why is my sister out on the balcony with Uncle Gao?”
“They’re probably talking about stocks. Isn’t Pudding a stock market genius? My dad invests as well…” Gao Boyuan’s thoughts were simpler.
Little Bean shook her head, worried. “You think so? Her expression looks serious.”
“Pudding’s the smartest person on earth, I’m sure she’s fine. Don’t worry, maybe my dad’s out of pocket money and is asking Pudding for some.” Boyuan was always so optimistic about everything. It was this outgoing personality that helped ease Little Bean’s worries. She quickly went back to playing with him.
Out on the balcony, Gao Ran quickly summarized what happened with Pudding as he smoked his cigarette. He made it short and simple.
One, Su Yu was kidnapped.
Two, the kidnapper called Huo Mian to meet them.
Three, Qin Chu and Lu Yan went to rescue Huo Mian and Su Yu.
In the beginning, Pudding’s heart was heavier than ever as she found out that the people she loved most were all in danger. However, towards the end, when Gao Ran told her about Lu Yan, Pudding laughed. She reconfirmed. “Auntie Lu went with Daddy?”
“Yeah. Your auntie is super rich, she took your daddy in her private jet,” Gao Ran said.
“Good, if Auntie Lu’s there, I’m sure they’ll all be fine. Let’s celebrate with hotpot once they come home,” Pudding said with a smile. Then, she stood up and said to Gao Ran with a serious expression on her face. “Thank you for telling me the truth, Uncle Gao.”
Then, she ran back into the room.
“She’s… so persuasive it’s freaky. I can never brush her off.” Gao Ran scratched his head helplessly.

When Qin Chu left, he gave some orders to Zhixin and Bella. He wasn’t very worried, because Yang was there as well.
After the morning meeting, Bella pulled Zhixin off to the side. She waved her hands and gestured at an empty hallway. “Zhixin, come with me, I need to talk to you.”
“Honey, what’s wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?” Zhixin was the best husband of the year; he was literally whipped.
“Zhixin, do you feel like something’s off?”
“Where? Here?”
“No, at home.”
“At home? No, everything seems fine.”
Zhixin was a good man, but because he was so pure, he often overlooked the evils that lurked in this world. Growing up, Huo Mian protected him well. Plus, ever since Jing De came home, Zhixin had been in such a good mood that he ate more and slept better. He took Jing De shopping from time to time and bought him new clothes, shoes, and even a cellphone.
Zhixin treasured the time he could spend with his father, whom he had just regained.
“Did Dad say anything weird to you when you guys were out?” Bella asked carefully.
