Chapter 1024 He appeared suddenly, like a ghost.
Wen Xiaoman looked at them with suspicion, her brows furrowed: "You...you really aren't lying to me?"
The four little ones said in unison, their expressions utterly sincere: "We're not lying to you, this time it's absolutely true!"
It wasn't until Bo Jingzhou came over and nodded affirmatively to Wen Xiaoman that she finally believed what they were saying was true.
But I couldn't help but worry deep down.
We had just reunited, and before we even had a chance to exchange a few words, he was leaving again.
"But...I want to find him..." she murmured, her eyes uncontrollably reddening.
Seeing this, the four little ones immediately surrounded her and comforted her:
“Aunt Xiaoman, we know you’re anxious, but there’s nothing we can do. The most important thing right now is to help Uncle Sinian get rid of the poison.”
"You can wait patiently until Uncle Sinian comes back healthy and well."
"Yes, we must trust Bai Du Shou, and we must also trust Uncle Si Nian!"
"Aunt Xiaoman, just wait patiently."
Hearing the four little ones' words of comfort, Wen Xiaoman could only nod.
Now, it seems she has no other choice but to wait.
......
Several days passed, and there was still no news from Qiao Sinian.
Although Wen Xiaoman tried to keep her spirits up, everyone could see that she was not eating or drinking and was absent-minded.
The person most worried is Qin Wanshuang.
That day, Qin Wanshuang came to see her specifically, carrying a bag that looked heavy.
She put her bag on the table and, under Wen Xiaoman's questioning gaze, unzipped it.
Inside were bright red property deeds and several jewelry boxes.
The jewelry box was filled with all kinds of jewelry, diamonds, jade, pearls... it was clear at a glance that they were very valuable.
Qin Wanshuang pushed all these things in front of Wen Xiaoman, her smile gentle: "Xiaoman, this is your dowry prepared by your sister. This apartment in the city center is already registered in your name. The environment is very nice. You can live there whenever you want to stay in peace and quiet. And these jewelry pieces are all things I've saved up over the years. I think the designs are very beautiful and suit you very well..."
Wen Xiaoman was stunned by the sudden dowry. Looking at the overflowing wealth before her, enough to make anyone envious, she instinctively wanted to wave her hand and refuse: "Sister, this is too precious, I can't..."
"Xiaoman." Qin Wanshuang interrupted her, grasped her hand that was trying to push her away, and said earnestly, "This is a token of my sister's affection. Don't refuse your sister."
She paused, softening her tone and speaking with a hint of cautious probing, "Unless... you still harbor resentment towards your sister."
"No..." Wen Xiaoman was about to deny it.
"Then accept it." Qin Wanshuang said decisively, shutting her down. "I am your only family member. Now that you have registered your marriage with Qiao Sinian, as the eldest sister, I should prepare a dowry for you. I didn't have the ability before, but now that I do, I want to give you the best. No matter whether your marriage is happy or not in the future, I don't want you to suffer any grievances."
"And I want you to know that, no matter what, your sister will always be your safe haven."
Looking at her sister's affection and compensation, Wen Xiaoman felt a lump in her throat, but still shook her head: "No... Sister, what I want to ask is, you've given me all these valuable things, what about yourself? What will you do in the future?"
Qin Wanshuang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
She never expected that her younger sister would care about her situation.
My eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
She blinked hard, forcing back her tears, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, I'm rich, don't worry about me. Have you forgotten that I'm a several-time Best Actress winner? I've made a lot of money from film fees and endorsements over the years, I'm very well-off!"
To prove she had a solid foundation, she immediately tossed out a car key: "By the way, I also ordered a car for you. You don't have a driver's license yet, right? Why don't you sign up for driving lessons these days and get your license? Then you can drive wherever you want to go."
Qin Wanshuang also had her own selfish motives; she enrolled Wen Xiaoman in driving lessons in order to distract her.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xiaoman lowered her head, twisting her fingers, and said in a muffled voice, "I...I'm not in the mood."
She's completely preoccupied with Qiao Sinian now, and has no interest in learning to drive.
Seeing her dejected appearance, Qin Wanshuang sighed with heartache, sat down next to her, put her arm around her shoulder, and said softly, "If you don't want to learn to drive, we can go later, it's okay."
“Xiaoman, I promised you before that when we grow up, I would take you to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris, ride a gondola in Venice, and see the wider world... I broke my promise before and couldn’t do it.”
She tightened her arms around him and continued, "Since we have some time now, how about I take you? Let's go out for a walk and wait as we go. Maybe when we come back from our trip, Qiao Sinian will have some good news?"
Wen Xiaoman looked up and met her earnest gaze, her voice choked with emotion, "Sister, why are you so good to me?"
Then, she could no longer hold back and, just like when she was wronged as a child, she threw herself into Qin Wanshuang's warm embrace and burst into tears.
Qin Wanshuang hugged her tightly, gently patting her back. Her eyes were moist, but a smile played on her lips.
Why are you so good to her?
Because you are my sister, the person I want to protect most in this world.
......
Wen Xiaoman refused to go on a trip, but agreed to go shopping to relax.
Qin Wanshuang generously booked the entire mall to ensure a quiet environment where she wouldn't be disturbed.
Su Yutang also went with her four little ones; the group was large and bustling, constantly buying up goods.
Midway through, Wen Xiaoman went to the restroom by herself.
Thinking that the mall had been booked out, everyone felt reassured and didn't go with them.
But this gave Joss Yue an opportunity.
He had been watching for a long time and finally caught Wen Xiaoman alone.
When Wen Xiaoman came out of the bathroom after washing her hands, she saw Qiao Siyue blocking her way.
I kept thinking about Qiao Sinian, and when I saw this exact same face, I felt a pang of anxiety.
But after only a second of hesitation, she recognized the person in front of her as Qiao Siyue.
Wen Xiaoman never expected to meet Qiao Siyue here, because he appeared suddenly like a ghost.
Just as she was about to shout, Qiao Siyue grabbed her arm and pulled her into the bathroom.
His other hand covered her mouth, silencing her.
"Ugh... Ugh..." Wen Xiaoman's eyes widened in fright. She struggled desperately, trying to kick and hit the other person with her hands and feet, but Qiao Siyue easily pinned her to the cold tile wall with his body.
The disparity in strength between men and women is clearly evident at this moment.
She was terrified; her heart was pounding, and the horrific experience of being kidnapped by Qiao Siyue flashed through her mind.
What will Si Nian do if he captures her again? What will happen to Xiao A Yan?
