Meeting

“She’s just a child. What danger can she bring me? You’re just overthinking this because of your concern. I’ll be fine! Besides, the café is right across the street from the school, so many people are there.” Chen Wei’er waved her hand and looked unconcerned.

Somehow, He Xun found that her words made sense. He didn’t insist anymore and only said, “Don’t drop the call. Don’t worry, I won’t make a sound. The girl won’t know. This way, I can keep track of your situation at all times. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease.”

“Alright then.” Her husband was worried about her personal safety. Besides, having him on call wouldn’t interfere with anything. Hence, Chen Wei’er didn’t object to it.

“Also, I’ll send two more bodyguards to follow you. They’ll protect you in the car outside. Is that okay?” He Xun couldn’t shake the uneasiness. If only he were an accessory, Chen Wei’er could bring him with her.

“Sure!” Regarding this, Chen Wei’er agreed without even thinking.

“What an obedient girl.” He Xun reached out his hand and rubbed his wife’s head. He wished he could pat her, keep her in his pocket, and take her around every day.

“Hehe.” Chen Wei’er lowered her head and laughed delightfully at He Xun. She couldn’t help but sigh.

Everyone said that one shouldn’t hold back from sharing something in one’s heart.

Now that she had finished talking to her husband, Chen Wei’er felt much more comfortable. The stuffy feeling in her chest was finally expelled.

“Why haven’t you replied?” Nie Suijing had picked up his phone countless times.

‘Ding! Ding!’

A message notification sounded from his phone. Nie Suijing clicked on it and finally saw Chen Wei’er’s reply.

[Don’t worry and don’t be afraid. I’ll be there on time. I will help you!]

“She finally replied!” Nie suijing raised his head. His eyes were shining with excitement. He had been locked up by Luo Xinrui for so long.

This time, he could finally go out! He no longer had to hide like a mouse.

“I don’t want failure. Do you understand?” Luo Xinrui looked unhinged. Nie Suijing was afraid of that look, but he could only nod.

In the afternoon, the road near the high school was bustling with activity.

Because it was peak hour after school, there was often traffic, and the honking and protests were deafening.

Chen Wei’er looked at the endless convoy and suddenly lost her patience. They were only 500 meters away from the coffee shop. However, it felt like they had been walking for more than 10 minutes and had not moved a single step!

She looked down at the time again. It was almost close to the designated time. She would definitely be late if this continued.

“I’ll walk there by myself. It’s the café in front. The sign is huge. You wouldn’t miss it. Just park the car in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. I’ll find a seat where you can see it at a glance.” Chen Wei’er pointed forward.

The bodyguards looked in the direction that Chen Wei’er was pointing at. It was indeed within walking distance and easy to monitor. “Yes, Madam.”

After Chen Wei’er finished speaking, she got out of the car with her bag and quickly called He Xun to soothe his worries.

“Have you arrived?” He Xun turned on the speaker and naturally heard the noise on Chen Wei’er’s end.

“I’ll be there in a minute. Remember not to say anything and try not to make any noise!” Chen Wei’er put her phone in her bag to ensure that He Xun could hear her, but she couldn’t let anyone else hear his voice. If the skittish young lady found out that Chen Wei’er was talking to someone else on the phone, the girl would definitely overthink it.

“Yes, I understand,” He Xun replied and didn’t say anything else.

Chen Wei’er pushed open the door of the coffee shop and saw a thin and weak little girl. Because she was too thin, her eyes were particularly noticeable.

Those wide eyes were full of timidity and uneasiness. Her skin was visibly rough. Her face was sallow while her hair was tied up and hung down to her ears. Her abdomen was also slightly protruding.

Chen Wei’er almost cried when she saw the girl.

“Sister Chen Wei’er!” When the little girl saw Chen Wei’er, she tried her best to smile and greet her.

Chen Wei’er lowered her head and held back her tears. She didn’t want to agitate the little girl, so she raised her head and smiled. Then, she walked over step by step.

“Sister, hello! I’m the one who sent you the private message. You can call me Xiao Doudou,” the young girl said with a bitter smile.

“Hello, Xiao Doudou.” Chen Wei’er’s eyes subconsciously focused on the other party’s protruding lower abdomen.

Xiao Doudou sensed her gaze and used her huge school jacket to cover herself uneasily.

Chen Wei’er realized that her actions had offended Xiao Doudou, so she quickly apologized, “I have been rude.”
