Tang Yuchen’s expression was solemn, and Kangkang added, "I know you have your own family, and I don’t like your family. I just want to be with Mom. If you want to see me, you can come to Mom’s place to meet me. Do you think that’s okay?"
"How does he know to say these things?" the man asked the woman across from him.
An Ruo said indifferently, "Do you think I taught him? I didn’t know he would think about these things either. He knows you’re fighting me for his custody, so he came up with this idea himself."
As she spoke, she became very angry and also fearful, her tone a bit sharp.
"Today he sneaked out of the kindergarten wanting to talk to you. Do you know where he went?"
Tang Yuchen didn’t know why she was angry and asked with concern, "Where did he go?"
"He went to the Tang Family. It was Tang Yushen who called me to say he was at his place. Do you have any idea how scared I was! If you weren’t fighting me for his custody, would he have done this? If Tang Yushen did something to him..." She couldn’t go on.
Just the thought of that possibility filled her with terror.
How could they handle it if Tang Yushen, so despicable, used Kangkang to threaten them again?
Tang Yuchen furrowed his brows tightly and immediately asked her in a deep voice, "You went to Tang Yushen’s? Did he do anything to you?"
His tone was somewhat grave, An Ruo was startled for a moment and said uneasily, "I fell asleep there for a moment, just a few minutes. He shouldn’t have done anything to me, right?"
In fact, she was also doubtful that her falling asleep was accidental.
"You fell asleep? How could you fall asleep?" The man suddenly became anxious, "What exactly happened?"
An Ruo described the details of the event, and Tang Yuchen’s face grew grim. He suddenly stood up and said, "You go ahead and eat, I’m going to make a phone call."
He opened the door, stepped out, and closed the door behind him.
Unsettled, An Ruo wondered if Tang Yushen really did do something to her.
Kangkang’s little face was filled with tension. He clutched at her clothes and asked worriedly, "Mom, you won’t be in trouble, will you?"
"Don’t worry, I’m fine, aren’t I?" she said, giving him a reassuring smile.
Tang Yuchen returned after a short while.
When An Ruo asked him what he had done, he simply said, "It’s nothing, I just called someone to join us for dinner."
About ten minutes later, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Lan Keren walked in with a handbag.
Tang Yuchen got up and said to Kangkang, "Son, come with Dad to buy something. Let Auntie and Mom talk for a while."
An Ruo didn’t know what he was up to and looked at him searchingly.
The man came over, ruffled her hair, and smiled, "Ke Ren has something to talk to you about. It will only take a few minutes, we’ll be right back."
He picked up Kangkang and said to Lan Keren, "I leave it to you."
"Sure, don’t worry," Lan Keren said with a smile and a nod.
Tang Yuchen carried Kangkang out with big steps. An Ruo got up intending to call after them, "Wait..."
"An Ruo, you don’t mind if I take up a few minutes of your time, do you?" Lan Keren approached her, smiling and blocking her way.
"What do you want to tell me?" She took a step back, puzzled but not feeling endangered.
Subconsciously, she believed they wouldn’t harm her.
Lan Keren placed her Hermes blue handbag on the table, opened it, and took out a rectangular box.
She opened the box, which to her surprise, contained medical supplies such as needles, syringes, and forceps.
