Taotao understood the words "not their mother", her eyes gradually turned red, she jumped out of bed and walked to Mu Shaoling's side, holding his hand and asked: "Dad, that is not our mother, is that mother still there?"
In the hands of those bad people?"
"Maybe." Mu Shaoling did not give him 100% certainty.
He would definitely do this to find Ruan Bai, but whether he could find him or how long it would take to find him, he couldn't promise his child at all.
"Dad, you will definitely find mom." Taotao held his hand, her small palm was very strong, and seemed to be comforting him.
"Do you miss her?" Mu Shaoling looked at his son's sensible appearance and tried hard to hold back the tears in the corners of his eyes. He knew that the child did not want him to worry.
He is the youngest in the family. He is usually noisy, but when he is sensible, he is as good as Zhan Zhan or Ruan Ruan.
"I think so, but my mother has been gone for so many years. Taotao knows that she can't make it difficult for her father to find her," Taotao said.
Seeing his son's obedient appearance, Mu Shaoling sighed and held his hand, "I will find her as soon as possible."
Taotao nodded, thinking of her brothers and sisters, and then lowered her voice and said: "Dad, don't tell your brothers and sisters about this. If they know that their mother hasn't come back yet, they will be very sad and sad. I don't want to
My brother and sister are sad."
Mu Shaoling stared at him. Compared with Taotao, Zhan Zhan and Ruanruan only met Ruan Bai when they were five years old. Their childhood memories of Ruan Bai were missing, but the child in front of him had very little memory of Ruan Bai.
Even more, he was able to keep quiet after learning the news, and even comforted him and asked to keep Zhan Zhan and Ruan Ruan secret.
Just because I don’t want to make them sad…
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Taotao was worried that he would tell Zhan Zhan and Ruanruan, so he said, "I want my brother and sister to be happy."
The bedroom door was pushed open, Zhan Zhan and Ruan Ruan walked in, looked at their younger brother and father, and they walked up together.
"Brother, sister..." Taotao looked at them.
Ruanruan touched her brother's face and said, "We all know, Taotao, don't be sad."
Seeing that both of them knew, Taotao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Well, they all knew, so they didn't have to work so hard to hide it.
Zhan Zhan looked at Mu Shaoling and said firmly: "I believe dad will definitely get mom back."
Mu Shaoling looked at the three children, nodded, touched their heads respectively with his big palm, and said: "It's getting late, go back and rest quickly, we have to go to class tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, Zhan Zhan and Ruan Ruan left, while Taotao climbed onto the bed obediently.
After Mu Shaoling covered the child with a quilt, he turned off the light, then turned and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
It was getting late, and the whole old house fell into silence. Mu Shaoling looked at the dim lights in the corridor and fell into memories.
In the past, before going to bed, Ruan Bai would always open the door of his children's bedroom to see if they had fallen asleep peacefully. If he found that they did not fall asleep on time, he would comfort them in a low voice.
Since the fake Ruan Bai was arranged to come in, she has not comforted the children. However, because of the schedule that Ruan Bai helped them set before, the three children fell asleep obediently and no longer needed anyone to coax them to sleep.
The children are growing up, and it makes people feel sad to be so sensible.
Now that Mr. Mu knew about the fake Ruan Bai, there was no need for him to continue pretending, so he returned to the master bedroom to rest.
He hasn't rested in the master bedroom for three years.
In the past three years, in order to make Ruan Bai more familiar with the environment, he followed Tia's suggestion and did not renovate the master bedroom.
What did the master bedroom look like before Ruan Bai was kidnapped? The master bedroom still looks like this now.
Mu Shaoling was not lying on the bed. This bed had been slept by a fake woman, and he would definitely not lie on it again, so he took a new set of bedding and pillows from the cabinet and lay on the sofa.
Putting one hand behind his head to support it, Mu Shaoling looked at the ceiling, missing Ruan Bai even more.
…
The next day.
Nian Mu returned to work at T Group.
She didn't get a good rest last night, so she had two heavy dark circles under her eyes.
While punching in the fingerprint card, Nian Mu happened to meet his assistant Zhang Shuyi.
Seeing the heavy look in her eyes, Zhang Shuyi asked with concern: "Professor Nian, you didn't rest yesterday, okay?"
"A little insomnia." Nian Mu said. In the past, she would take medicine immediately when she noticed that she could not sleep, but yesterday, she took auxiliary medicine and still woke up from a dream in the middle of the night.
The content of the dream was still Mu Shaoling.
Seeing how tired she was, Zhang Shuyi asked, "Professor Nian, would you like a cup of coffee?"
"Okay, please help me send it to the laboratory later." Nian Mu said. She planned to go directly to the laboratory to do research after putting the briefcase back in the office.
Knowing that the office was under surveillance, she didn't want to just stay there.
"Okay." After Zhang Shuyi punched in the fingerprint card, she walked directly into the tea room.
Nian Mu returned to the office, put his briefcase and mobile phone in the safe, put on his lab coat and left.
When she came to the laboratory, she found several researchers sitting together, seemingly discussing something.
Nian Mu shook his head. If they were at Watson in the past, they would basically start immersing themselves in their research right after work. Now here, they seem to talk more and have more opportunities to get together and chat.
"Good morning." Nian Mu took the initiative to greet them.
"Good morning, Professor Nian." Several researchers saw her walking in and did not disperse.
Seeing them like this, Nianmu asked curiously: "What are you looking at when you gather together?"
One of the researchers said: "Professor Nian, don't you know?"
"What do you know?" Nian Mu found that his information was always later than theirs.
"T Group is going to start organizing employee trips," a researcher said, "but we haven't decided where to go yet."
T Group organizes employee travel every year. Nian Mu knows this, but they belong to Watson and are not employees of T Group.
Generally speaking, the organization of T Group has no connection with other subsidiaries and branches.
"T Group's organization of tourism has nothing to do with us." Nian Mu said. Generally speaking, the quality of tourism at the headquarters will be much better than that of other branches and subsidiaries, but T Group here does not bring Watson with it, so
Even if they saw it, it would be meaningless.
"Professor Nian, the above notice came out, saying that because our department now also works in T Group, we are also part of this employee trip, and we are currently voting on tourist attractions." A researcher said while holding a mobile phone.
