Chapter 617 - A Strong Hunch

Keeping fooling Gu Changle was not a solution. Shao Tianze had to let Gu Yi and Miaomiao see Gu Changle.

After all, she was Gu Changge’s sister.

Shao Tianze twisted his eyebrows while tucking Miaomiao in on Saturday night.

Miaomiao was attentive. She found it and asked Shao Tianze, “Daddy, why are you frowning?”

As she asked, she gently pressed on Shao Tianze’s eyebrows with her chubby hand, “Mommy said you don’t look good when you’re doing this.”

Shao Tianze’s face changed immediately, and his eyes seemed to be somewhat stagnant.

When he was with Gu Changge, whenever he frowned about something, Gu Changge would press his forehead and rubbed it gently.

It was her tenderest moment.

Even if she was dead, Shao Tianze missed it when Miaomiao brought it up.

He smiled, “Do you miss mommy?”

Miaomiao nodded, “Yeah, for sure.”

“Do you want to see mommy?”

Hearing Shao Tianze’s words, Miaomiao’s eyes lit up, “Really? Can I?”

She really wanted to see her mother.

But no matter what, her daddy wouldn’t take her to her mommy.

Thinking about mommy, Miaomiao’s eyes became red and tearful, “I haven’t seen her for a long time. I miss her so much. Daddy, could you please take me to her?”

Shao Tianze adored Miaomiao from the bottom of his heart.

When he saw Miaomiao looking at him with tearful eyes, he touched her hair gently and said, “Your mommy is eager to see you, too.”

“But why hasn’t she come to see me?”

Miaomiao blinked and looked at Shao Tianze. She needed a firm answer.

Being stared at by Miaomiao, Shao Tianze replied before thinking for a while, “She’s far away.”

“What’s she doing there? Why hasn’t she come back? It’s been a while. Brother told me that she would come back on my wedding day.”

“That’s true. She will.”

Shao Tianze told a lie with a straight face.

Miaomiao frowned, looking at Shao Tianze, “What is she doing there?”

Shao Tianze pondered for a while before saying, “She is doing business.”

Miaomiao was not pleased by this answer, frowning, “Why does it take her so long? She returned very soon before.”

“Because this time she’s doing a big deal. If she can take this order, she will be able to buy so many pretty dresses, cute dolls, and even action figures for you.”

Miaomiao was almost crying. Her voice was full of grievance and yearning, “I don’t want dresses and dolls. I only want mommy.”

Miaomiao became sad while talking. Tears in her eyes finally rolled down.

Seeing Miaomiao couldn’t help crying, Shao Tianze picked her up from the bed and put her on his lap. He took out a tissue and gently wiped her tears off.

“Miaomiao, good girl. Mommy wants to see you, too. But she needs to get things done before she comes back.”

Miaomiao twitched her mouth, “How long do I have to wait?”

Shao Tianze smiled, “Very soon.”

“It’s almost been a year. I’ve been counting the days.”

Miaomiao stared at Shao Tianze.

Shao Tianze sighed inside. He was patient and tender with Miaomiao.

He gently grabbed Miaomiao’s little hand and said, “Mommy is counting the days just like you. Don’t miss her too much! I don’t know when she will come back. Maybe early, maybe late. Or she may be back when you wake up tomorrow morning.”

Hearing that, Miaomiao asked him with hope, “Really?”

“Yes.”

“I will see mommy tomorrow morning?”

Seeing Miaomiao bought what he said, Shao Tianze teased her, “Who knows? Wanna try?”

Miaomiao nodded, “Yes.”

Shao Tianze tucked Miaomiao in and said to her gently, “Close your eyes and sleep. Mommy will be back, okay?”

“Okay, daddy.”

Miaomiao closed her eyes and was ready to sleep.

Shao Tianze lowered his eye, looking at Miaomiao in her sleep.

A mixture of emotions spread over his face.

His daughter was looking forward to Gu Changge coming back to her. But he couldn’t do anything about it.

Gu Changge had already turned into ashes. She would never come back.

...

Song Yunxuan bounced up from the bed in a nap at noon.

A maid noticed the noise outside of the bedroom. She knocked on the door and asked Song Yunxuan, a little worried, “Miss Song, are you all right?”

“I’m fine.”

Song Yunxuan leaned back against the headboard and touched the cold sweat on her forehead.

It had been almost a month.

She had been keeping dreaming of Chu Mochen.

Her previous calmness had begun to collapse slowly.

She knew perfectly that she should pull herself together and run the Song enterprise after Chu Mochen was gone.

Yet this was easier said than done.

It was too hard for her.

She felt that she was going to fall apart.

She gently rubbed her forehead and turned to the sky outside the window. Wind blew in from the crack of the curtain.

Song Yunxuan got out of bed and walked to the window. She opened the curtain so as to be blown on. She needed to sober up.

When she opened the window, she noticed a car with low beam lights on stopped in front of the gate of her house.

Although the car was parked in front of the gate, it was far from her position.

But Song Yunxuan had a strong feeling.

A person was watching her in that car.

Song Yunxuan narrowed her eyes and turned around. She took a thin coat and walked downstairs.

The maid who served outside her bedroom saw Song Yunxuan came out all of a sudden.

She was stunned for a second. Then she caught up with Song Yunxuan and asked, “Miss Song, where are you going?”

“I need some fresh air.”

Song Yunxuan made up a reason smoothly.

The maid froze for a moment, and then she persuaded her worriedly, “Miss Song, you need to wrap yourself up. It’s raining. You may get a cold. It’s better to stay inside.”

“Fetch me another coat, the thick one.”

The maid was about to take the coat.

But she was still worried, “Miss Song, please don’t go now. Could you just wait here?”

“I won’t be far. Come to me with the coat.”

Song Yunxuan didn’t stop. She pushed the door open and walked outside.

The maid had no way of stopping Song Yunxuan but let her go.

Song Yunxuan walked through the house and walked directly on the cement road next to the fountain to the gate.

The car was still parked in front of the gate with the low beam lights on as if the person in the car hadn’t noticed her approaching.

Song Yunxuan hastened her steps and craved to get to the car as soon as possible. She wanted to open the door and see who he was.

However, when she was about to reach the car, the car suddenly turned off the low beam lights and began to reverse.

Song Yunxuan perceived the car was going to start. She started to run, frowned, and tried to stop the car before it left.

The car backed out and turned around.

Song Yunxuan ran to the car. The moment the car was only a few meters from her, she shouted, frowning, “Wait!”

The car ignored her. The diver was turning around and driving away from the gate.

Song Yunxuan shouted, “Wait! Stop!”

The car rolled forward. It drove not particularly fast.

When Song Yunxuan ran over, she slapped the car window that was rolling up while shouting, “Wait, wait a minute! Stop the car! Talk to me!”

Song Yunxuan followed the car, slapping the car window hard.

Seeing this, the driver of this black Rolls-Royce didn’t know how to do about it. He asked the person in the backseat, “Sir, what should we do?”

The man in the backseat gazed at Song Yunxuan slapping and said, “Drive ahead. Speed up.”

The driver nodded.

As the driver had just started to speed up, the man in the backseat said in a low voice, “Don’t hurt her.”

The diver became more careful with speeding up.

Song Yunxuan didn’t give up. She kept flapping the car window and tried to stop the car.

But the car didn’t stop. Instead, it began to speed up.

Song Yunxuan followed it all the way until she was tired out and slowed down.

The driver seemed to have realized that he got rid of Song Yunxuan. He accelerated the car and drove away.

Song Yunxuan looked at the car driving away out of breath, reaching out her arms to stop the car.

However, before she could shout, she couldn’t help panting because of the breathless run.
