The moment Qin Yutong realized Zhimo was on the phone, she figured he must be trying to reach Ye Lanchen. Startled, she dashed forward to disconnect the phone call.
“Mama, don’t scold Elder Brother. I asked him to bring me over.” Tang Zhixi stepped forward to take the blame.
Both Secretary Ruan and the receptionist shifted their attention toward the woman. So this was the children’s mother!
However, they had never seen this woman around the President before.
“Let’s go home.” Qin Yutong sighed but rejoiced silently over the children’s safety.
Wuyou did not intend for the public to learn about these two children thus she wished to leave this place as soon as possible. However, she reckoned such an incident would probably spread around quickly. Perhaps the secret would be unfolded once someone informed Ye Lanchen.
“Mama, I want to look for our father.” Little Zhixi did not want to leave just yet. She tugged at the corner of Qin Yutong’s sleeve as she pleaded earnestly.
She inhaled sharply when she heard the little girl. To look for their father? Had these two darlings been saying this bluntly at strangers all morning?
Maybe things had progressed beyond her expectation.
She was so anxious to rush over here earlier that she forgot about notifying Wuyou.
“Hey, why are you here?” Coincidentally, Xi Ji who had just come to the main hall discovered them and began walking toward their direction.
“Vice President Xi, they’re here to look for the President,” the receptionist replied.
Tang Zhixi blinked curiously as she turned to look at Xi Ji. She walked toward the man with a warm grin on her face. She remembered this uncle helping them out at the airport last time. It turned out that he was working in the same company as their father. Did this mean he would be of help in locating their father?
That enthusiastic expression in her eyes could easily cause misunderstanding.
Xi Ji appeared shocked but quickly smoothed away the surprise with a faint smile. “Did you come here to look for me?”
“Yup, can you…” Tang Zhixi was planning to say if he could assist them in looking for their father.
Both Secretary Ruan and the receptionist were dumbfounded. The two children came to look for Vice President Xi?
He was the president that the children were looking for?
“Zhixi, come on.” However, Qin Yutong suddenly lifted the little girl into her arms, intending to leave.
Xi Ji failed to recognize her when they bumped into each other in the airport the other day. Both of them were done for, once and for all. It would be for the better if they stopped any sort of connection at all.
For reasons unknown, he felt an intense pain in his heart upon witnessing the determination in the woman’s eyes. He was reluctant to part with her. Even his head ached all of a sudden.
He could not think properly because of the throbbing pain in his head. He grabbed her arm instinctively and said hesitantly, “Don’t go.”
Qin Yutong tensed up before turning to face him. She was stunned to find the lost expression that took over his face. A hint of light flashed across her eyes. “What are you doing?”
“Don’t go,” the man repeated. The pain in his head intensified. It was hurting so badly that he lost his ability to think. Despite that, he knew for sure that he did not want her to leave.
She noticed he appeared to be in slight discomfort thus she could not bring herself to free herself.
“Ji, you’re here.” Simultaneously, a soft and sweet voice rang behind her. A woman dressed delicately was approaching them.
The woman’s eyes were filled with pride and disdain as she threw a seemingly nonchalant glance at Qin Yutong. However, her entire body tensed up the minute she had a clear look at the latter’s face. A surprised expression mixed with a hint of fear flashed across her eyes.
