Sheng Yeting’s heart was pumping. He had never felt this way before, nervous and exciting, with a little bit expectation.

“Bao, tell me how old are you?”

Sheng Yeting looked at his face which was surprisingly similar to his own.

“Daddy, I'm four years old.” Bao answered honestly.

A light shimmered in Sheng Yeting’s eyes. His parents never saw him with such expression. They looked at each other. Now they were sure he was keeping something from them.

“When is your birthday? What year, what month?” Sheng Yeting asked hurriedly. His voice was quivering subtly.

Four years old. Was it really the night five years ago?

Bao never saw him so nervous. The little guy didn't know what was going on. He just felt sorry for him. He actually lowered his head and thought for a moment, saying, “Daddy, my birthday is 5, Dec.”

The light in his eyes dimmed gradually. He shook his head, disappointed. The date didn’t match. It seemed like he was wrong.

He remembered he had sex with that woman in March that year. So his son's birthday wouldn't be in December. Besides, it was only one night. It would be an unbelievably coincidence for her to get pregnant from that.

He was relieved. He didn't look at Bao anymore but said to his parents calmly, “This is not my son, I'm sure.”

But Sheng Yeting could never thought of that Xia Xingcheng had some health issues when she was abroad and that led to a premature delivery. Bao was born after a little more than nine months.

His parents knew he wouldn't lie to them on something so serious. They were very disappointed when they learned that Bao was not their grandson.

It wouldn't matter how much they liked Bao; anyhow, he was not their grandson. Mother Sheng hugged Bao tighter subconsciously. She sighed and asked, “What now? How come this kid came to you?”

Sheng Yeting had a certain particular status. Since Bao was not his son, it might be that someone was trying to con him. Mother Sheng was a little worried, suspecting that Bao was being used by someone.

“It's complicated. You don't have to worry about it.”

Sheng Yeting frowned. He didn't want to explain more. Even a mention of Xia Xingcheng gave him headaches.

Bao looked at Sheng Yeting and then turned to look at Sheng Yeting’s parents, explaining, “Mommy got taken by some bad guys. Daddy said he would bring mommy back. I'm here waiting for mommy.”

Even though Bao was just a little kid, he could speak logically and clearly. The way he spoke was like an experienced old man.

Mother Sheng gave a complicated look at Bao who was in her arms. She put Bao back onto the couch and pulled Sheng Yeting away asking him secretly, “Son, since this is not your child, then where is his father? Why is he calling you daddy? And what happened to his mother?”

After hearing these questions, Sheng Yeting sighed quietly and explained to her, “Bao came from a single-parent family. His mother raised him alone; no father. Maybe he couldn't stop calling me daddy because I look like his father so much.”

After hearing the words came out of his mouth, Sheng Yeting was surprised by himself. It sounded like he was trying to defend Bao.

Mother Sheng felt sorry and looked at Bao who was still sitting on the couch. She didn't expect that Bao did not have a father. Thinking that Bao was lacking of love, she felt so sorry, sighing and asking, “What are you going to do?”

Sheng Yeting’s eyes also fell on Bao. To think of Bao crying in his arms, he went soft-hearted.

He had to say, “I promised Bao to rescue that woman. Since then we will all be on our own ways.”

She nodded with understanding. But she was a little surprised. She knew her son very well, who did not like trouble. Now he was getting soft-hearted for this kid, a miracle not in a thousand years!

She thought for a while and said, “How about this. It's inconvenient for you to let Bao stay here. You keep on working. When his mother is back, then you return the kid to her.”

Sheng Yeting nodded. It surely was inconvenient for him currently. So he reached his hand out and called Bao over.

Seeing “Daddy” waving, Bao jumped down from the couch and ran to Sheng Yeting. He called him with a sweet voice, "Daddy."

Sheng Yeting had this awkward look on his face for a second. He didn't know why he wasn’t willing to let Bao go. But he steeled his heart and said to Bao, “Bao, go with grandpa and grandma. I have work to do. I will find your mother and bring her back. Then she will come to pick you up, okay?”

He didn't even notice when he was talking to Bao, he had this gentle look in his eyes that he had never had before.

His parents looked at each other with complex expressions on their faces. They were all surprised.

Bao nodded. He knew daddy was really busy. He didn't go on behaving mischievously but followed the grandparents and left obediently.

After they left, finally there was some peace in Sheng Yeting’s big office. He rubbed his aching forehead and contemplated on how to bring that woman back.

Then he thought why he would care so much about that woman. He should let his staff deal with it. He stopped thinking about it and cleared his mind to work on his business affairs.

A project of Sheng’s Group in the adjacent city happened to run into some problems. Sheng Yeting was extremely busy when he committed himself to work and simply went on a business trip to the adjacent city.

With a blink, two days had passed there.

In these two days, Xia Xingcheng locked up in Xia’s house was burning with anxiety. People of Xia family was taunting and hurting her. Meanwhile, she was so worried about Bao’s safety that she was desperate and about to break down.

Although there were people bringing her food, she was so unsettled that she lost a lot of weight, looking even more skinny and vulnerable.

One day Xia Xingyan had nothing to do, so she brought some food to her sister. Seeing how Xia Xingcheng looked, she was pleased.

“Xia Xingcheng, you still don't want to turn to Sheng Yeting, huh? Look at yourself, you are skinny as hell. Though you can drag this along, but what about Bao? He might be starving to death somewhere.”

Hearing Bao’s name, the dimming light in her eyes brightened. She looked at Xia Xingyan angrily, “If something bad happens to him, I will bury the entire Xia family!”

“I hate you, I hate you all!”

Xia Xingcheng wanted to rip the bitch in front of her into a thousand pieces. But the door was locked, otherwise she would beat her sister up violently.
