The calls were all from Bai Se. Frantically, Lin Yiqian returned his call.
“Did you manage to find him?” She asked nervously.
As she asked the question, she started running into the airport.
“I’ve found him,” Bai Se replied, calmly.
However, he had spoken the last word with an odd tone. “What’s the matter?” Lin Yiqian asked with curiosity.
“I’ve got the CCTV footage. He’s with your husband.”
“Gu… Nianshen?” Lin Yiqian stopped walking as her jaw dropped.
“Do you have another husband?”
Lin Yiqian rolled her eyes. She was in no mood for jokes right now. “Why would they be together?”
‘This was a weekday. Shouldn’t he be in the office? Why would he be at the airport?’
Lin Yiqian was not informed that Gu Nianshen would be leaving the country for work.
However, even if he were, he probably would not have informed her of it.
“From what I can see on the CCTV footage, Xiaoyu probably saw him and ran over to him. There is another woman next to them as well. I think it’s your mother-in-law.”
‘Xiaoyu had even met Song Changwen!’ Lin Yiqian gasped.
Her heart was pounding as her eyes widened. “He’s met…”
Suddenly, Lin Yiqian realized that Fang Heyang was still standing next to her. Therefore, she stopped herself from speaking further.
“Yes, that’s right. He has met his biological grandmother. In fact, she seems to like him a lot.” Bai Se teased.
“Is… Is that so?” Lin Yiqian was slightly surprised. Could Bai Se be making this up?
Song Changwen’s strict expression appeared in Lin Yiqian’s mind. She had always been a distant figure to Lin Yiqian.
‘Would she like Xiaoyu?’
As Lin Yiqian bit her lip, a ray of hope shone in her eyes.
However, she still felt worried.
She was worried that Xiaoyu would forget about what Lin Yiqian had told her when he spoke to Gu Nianshen and Song Changwen.
Fang Heyang continued to examine Lin Yiqian’s face with a sense of curiosity.
“Don’t worry. I’ve found them. They’re eating ice-cream at Haagen-Dazs.
Bai Se’s every single sentence felt like a ticking time-bomb to Lin Yiqian as the feeling of concern grew in her heart.
Despite that, she tried to picture Gu Nianshen eating ice-cream with Xiaoyu.
She really wished she could see it happen in person.
“I understand. I…”
Lin Yiqian was about to tell Bai Se that she would go look for them right away. Suddenly, a security guard came over. “Is the bike yours? You can’t park here,” he snapped as he pointed at Fang Heyang’s bike by the road.
Right then, Lin Yiqian remembered that Fang Heyang was still with her. She immediately tried to recall what she had said to Bai Se.
She did not seem to have mentioned anything about a child.
“Got it. I’ll move it right away.” Fang Heyang chuckled as he bowed at the security guard respectfully. Then, he started walking to his bike. “Chief Lin, I’ll get the bike parked. I’ll call you in a bit.”
“You…”
Lin Yiqian wanted to ask Fang Heyang to leave without her. However, before she could say anything, he had already started the engine and drove away.
‘Nevermind. I’ll give him a text.’

On the departure floor at the airport, most people would choose to buy desserts from the vending machine. Although there were very few customers in the Haagen-Dazs store, there were not many empty spaces.
