I was about to speak, but I saw Xixi staring at me with bright eyes.

He looked at me expectantly, "Mum, did you tell Uncle Wu about going home?"

I was stunned by his question, but Xixi smiled triumphantly at me.

"I heard something when you were chatting together yesterday. Uncle Wu is going to send us back, isn't it?"

When it comes to going home, Xixi is very excited: "We will be able to go home to see my father and sister soon! I dreamed about my sister last night! I dreamed that my sister called me 'brother' and asked me to accompany her Play together!"

"When I go home, I must hug my younger sister. She must have grown taller and heavier now, but I, an older brother, will be able to hug her! I said I would protect my younger sister!"

From Xixi's excitement when he said this, we can see how urgent he is to go home.

Seeing the anticipation in his eyes and hearing him talk about his plans after returning home, I really couldn't bear to let his hopes fail.

Xixi took my hand, her joyful eyes were covered with doubts, "Mum, what's wrong with you? We're going home soon, aren't you happy?"

I pursed my lips and took a deep breath. Even if I couldn't bear it anymore, I still had to explain it clearly to him.

"Xixi, we may need to discuss the matter of going home again."

I put my hands on Xixi's shoulders, and seeing the smile on Xixi's mouth disappear suddenly, I couldn't help feeling distressed.

I carefully explained to him: "Because Mommy has some things to deal with when she returns to the capital, it is not convenient to take you back for the time being. It is the safest thing for you to stay here. Uncle Wu will take good care of you..."

Before I finished speaking, Xixi broke free from my hand and took a step back.

He looked at me disappointedly, "So, Mommy, you don't plan to take me back with you at all, do you?"

"It's not that Mommy doesn't want to take you back, it's that Mommy is thinking about your safety." Xixi's sadness at this time also made me feel like a knife, so I hurriedly comforted him: "This is only temporary, wait for Mommy to deal with everything , will definitely take you home."

Xixi lowered her head and muttered softly: "But Xixi only wants to be with Mommy..."

Seeing his depressed appearance, I really wish I could take him back with me.

But I can't.

I looked at Xixi in embarrassment, thinking about how to comfort him, but I heard him make a compromise in a sensible way.

"Well, I will listen to Mommy."

He raised his head slowly, with tears in his clear eyes, "Mummy will definitely take me home, right?"

This cautious question expressed his uneasiness, and it also made me feel guilty.

If I could have found Xixi earlier, maybe I wouldn't have made him feel so insecure.

I raised my hand in front of Xixi and swore: "Mummy assures you, I will take you back to my side as soon as I finish all this."

Xixi nodded with tears in her eyes, "I believe Mommy won't lie to me."

I wiped the corners of his wet eyes distressedly, at this moment all comforts became pale and powerless.

I knew I was going to leave Xixi, so I deliberately stayed with Xixi all day long, played with him, cooked with him, and enjoyed the rare parent-child time.

In the evening, I told Xixi a story, and just as soon as I put him to sleep, I heard "pinging, bang, bang" in the living room.

I frowned casually, thinking it was a servant packing something in the living room.

I carefully pulled out the arm resting on Xixi's head, and while moving the numb arm, I walked out of Xixi's room.

"What happened?" As soon as I asked this softly, I was stunned by the scene in front of me.

Alice was lying on the ground tied up and her mouth was gagged.

Seeing me, she first widened her eyes in surprise, obviously she didn't expect that I was still alive.

But then she regained her senses, and her eyes were filled with murderous hatred.

Wu Shuang stood beside Alice, calmly wiping her hands with a wet tissue.

I regained my composure, and asked Wu Shuang in amazement, "Is that why you tied people here?"

"The wisher takes the bait!" Wu Shuang raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes filled with pride, "It's because she trusts me too much, I just used tricks to ask her to meet, and she really came, so naturally I won't let it go." Take this chance."

Wu Shuang uses Wu Meixin's secret as a bargaining chip and asks Alice to meet.

It was about Wu Meixin, so Alice agreed without thinking about it.

With Wu Shuang and Wu Meixin's concern, Alice naturally had no defense against him, and Wu Shuang also took the opportunity to tie her up and bring her here.

I walked up to Alice, squatted down, and under her hateful gaze, I tore off the cloth ball in her mouth.

"Bitch! You really haven't died yet! The news of your death is all fake! I'm going to report you! Don't you think about it!"

Up to now, Alice still has a superior attitude, which makes me feel ridiculous.

I grabbed her cheek with one hand and asked with a sneer, "Do you think you still have a chance to escape?"

At this moment, a trace of fear flashed in Alice's eyes.

"What do you want to do? I warn you, if you dare to touch me, your end will be miserable!"

I chuckled, "You are now a prisoner, and you still dare to threaten us? Do you think you are the only ones who will use those insidious methods? I can also make your life worse than death!"

Alice started to panic. She looked at Wu Shuang and shouted loudly: "Wu Shuang! You are from the Wu family! You actually betrayed the Wu family and cooperated with this woman! Are you planning to be a traitor?!"

Faced with Alice's scolding, Wu Shuang remained indifferent.

He glanced at Alice, and said disapprovingly, "I am indeed from the Wu family, but I never said I belonged to you. Why do you say betrayal?"

"You...you are simply working together...well..."

Alice hadn't finished swearing, but I stopped her again.

I gave her a cold look, "This word is more suitable for you and Wu Meixuan! After all, you are both femme fatales!"

Alice lay on her side on the ground, struggling desperately to resist, but her hands were tied from behind, and her feet were also bound, no matter how much she struggled, it was useless.

I got up and walked in front of Wu Shuang, "What are you going to do with her?"

Although Alice is heinous, we have no right to decide her life and death, and I don't want human life to be on my hands.

Fortunately, Wu Shuang didn't intend to kill anyone.

He glanced at Alice, "I will detain her and send someone to guard her, and I won't let her leave for half a step. Then you can replace her by Wu Meixin's side."

"As for Alice, I'm not moving her now because she's still useful." A calculation flashed across Wu Shuang's eyes, and when his gaze fell on Alice, I clearly saw Alice's body tremble. one time.
