As soon as these words were spoken, sure enough, the older woman immediately gaped, and the onlookers surrounding them were all taken aback, gazing at the man of extraordinary demeanor and distinguished elegance.
Ying Hao, seeing this, also came to an understanding and quickly added, "Our young madam and young master had a bit of a squabble, and in her anger, she ran away from home. The young master is currently looking for her."
The young madam? And a young master too?
This revelation shocked the crowd even more.
However, some people who had been in the city recognized that Ou Mucen’s attire was extremely luxurious and valuable. After exchanging glances, they hesitated before finally asking, "Are you... really Xiao’an’s husband?"
That’s right, when she lived here, she was called An Ning.
A glint flashed in Ou Mucen’s eyes, and immediately, he nodded, "Yes, that child is also mine!"
The child... is his too?
Hearing this, the people were once again left dumbstruck!
My God, could this man actually be the child’s father? How could that be? Hadn’t An Ning said at the time that her husband worked at a construction site? How could he...?
For several seconds, everyone stared at Ou Mucen, as if they’d turned to stone.
But such scrutiny made them see the truth—that the man’s eyes bore a striking resemblance to the child’s.
The eagle-eyed auntie was the first to spot it, exclaiming, "It’s true! Haven’t you noticed? Xiaobao looks a lot gentleman!"
"Right, especially the eyes, they’re very similar."
"Yeah, it seems he really is Xiao’an’s husband."
The crowd finally began to buzz with excitement...
Ying Hao, watching from the side, was sweating bullets!
Isn’t that obvious? That child was indeed his young master’s son.
But then, realizing he had not recognized the child when he first saw him, he felt as blind as a bat.
Once they recognized him, the people’s wariness towards Ou Mucen relaxed, especially the auntie who, after hearing that Ou Mucen was there to look for Ye Ning, immediately rose from her stool, "If that’s the case, then it’s good you’re here. You have no idea, there have already been two groups of people who came looking for her."
"What did you say?" Ou Mucen was taken aback, "Two groups of people?"
The auntie nodded, "Fortunately, Xiao’an had instructed us that if anyone came looking for her, we must never admit she’s here. Also, I hid her at my place, so no one could take her away."
As the auntie spoke, she stood up and took a key out of the cabinet.
Ou Mucen and Ying Hao stood there watching, feeling a sudden chill in their hearts, both of them feeling a stroke of luck.
Two groups of people?
Who exactly were these two groups? Why were they looking for that woman? What on earth had happened to her?
Ou Mucen felt his heart in his chest give a fierce leap, disrupting his breathing rate. The violent rhythm of its beating caused his fingers to tremble uncontrollably.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to her!"
In a surge of ecstasy, the auntie finally took out the key, ready to lead the way.
Ou Mucen, seeing this, followed her, and Ying Hao, who was initially going to follow as well, stopped when he thought about the two groups of people the auntie mentioned. Recalling the commotion he had noticed earlier in Bamboo Garden, his expression grew stern and he stopped, "Young master, I’ll go check the vicinity first."
