"Brother, if Mommy can't come back, why is her phone with Daddy?" Xiao Ran felt it was strange.
People nowadays couldn't live without their phones, for work needs and daily entertainment. Since Mommy and Daddy couldn't come back to see them because of work, why was Mommy's phone away from her? Didn't she need it when she worked?
Facing the string of questions emerging in her heart, Xiao Ran chose to ask Yu Ze.
These questions came one after another like stones, making Yu Ze, who was already bad at lying, even more flustered. His brain and mouth were not on the same channel; what he thought of and what he said were different.
"Maybe Daddy accidentally took the wrong phone and brought Mommy's by mistake." Yu Ze clutched the phone tightly, "I'll call Daddy now to tell him, in case Mommy can't find her phone and gets worried."
"Brother, how about we use the excuse of returning the phone to go find Mommy?" Xiao Ran suggested.
Seeing that he hadn't given up his intention to go out and look for them, Yu Ze got angry.
He pushed the approaching Xiao Ran away and, for the first time in his life, spoke to him in the fiercest tone, "No! Didn't I just say we have to stay home obediently and not run out to find them privately? Have you been listening to me at all? Or do you know how busy Mommy and Daddy are and still want to cause trouble and make them worry?"
The sudden scolding made Xiao Ran's eyes widen. He looked at Yu Ze innocently.
He just missed Mommy so much. When they were abroad, he couldn't see her but could hear her voice. Even after returning to the imperial capital, when she couldn't come out to see them after entering the Di residence, she would still video call him at night. He had never experienced anything like this, not seeing her and not hearing her voice.
In front of Yu Ze, Xiao Ran didn't need to pretend to be strong. He sniffled and timidly walked forward, tugging at Yu Ze's sleeve. "Brother, I miss Mommy so much."
How could he not miss her too?
Yu Ze patted his back, gently comforting his emotions. "I know, but Mommy is really busy. We're grown up now, and we need to learn to share their burdens. If we two don't listen and insist on taking Qianqian out to find them, what if we encounter bad people on the way? xxs
Strange things have been happening around us lately. Just like last time when you and Xing Xing were kidnapped together, and our food was poisoned, and many other things. We are boys, and we can endure a little injury if we encounter bad people on the way, but Qianqian is a girl. We cannot take her out on an adventure when we know there is danger."
After these words, past events replayed infinitely in Xiao Ran's mind.
"Is Mommy also busy because of these things?" Xiao Ran asked tentatively.
He always felt that Ye Ziyu and the others weren't busy with company matters; it seemed like there was something they couldn't tell them. As for what it was, it was hard to know.
"Alright, don't be curious anymore. Hurry up and go inside to change your clothes, don't let the wound come into contact with unclean things for too long and get inflamed. I'll call Daddy to tell him about Mommy's phone." Yu Ze felt that if they continued talking, Xiao Ran would figure out something about Ye Ziyu. In his haste, he quickly interrupted his wandering thoughts.
Xiao Ran watched him turn and leave and had no choice but to follow his instructions and head to his room.
Walking on the stairs, Xiao Ran leaned against the wall. He looked down at Ye Ziyu's phone and tried to turn it on. He pressed the power button for a long time, but there was no response.
Yu Ze, afraid that the phone might be delayed for Di Mingjue if it was left at home, hurried downstairs to call him.
At this moment, Di Mingjue had just arrived at the police station. As soon as he got out of the car, he heard a voice drifting from his pocket.
