When Mo Han remembered that she was going to pick up Lanlan, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She almost blurted out, "Donglin, what time is it now? Can you, can you help me check the time?"

Shen Donglin was stunned for a moment before replying, "Alright."

Even though he knew that only a few minutes had passed, there was still not the slightest bit of impatience in his heart. Shen Donglin took out his phone from his pocket and the screen suddenly lit up, making his handsome face look exceptionally gentle.

"4:05."

Mo Han fell silent again.

She clearly remembered that when she came out of Ning Yao's house, she had seen the time. It was 3:30. In other words, half an hour had passed since the elevator stopped.

Time seemed to have frozen, and it was so long that she felt fear in her heart.

Shen Donglin didn't say anything else.

The tiny elevator box was strangely quiet, and apart from the sound of their heartbeats and breathing, there was not the slightest sound.

The light above his head, which had been dimming and dimming, suddenly went out.

For a moment, the elevator became pitch black, reaching out with less than five fingers.

Mo Han couldn't help but scream in horror. She covered her ears with both hands and closed her eyes tightly.

That kind of fear was like a giant hand that held her heart in its palm and tightened it inch by inch.

Shen Donglin was shocked. He hugged her uncontrollably and kept calling her name, "Wanwan, Wanwan, don't be afraid! I'm right beside you, we'll be fine …"

A familiar voice, even a familiar smell.

Mo Han's emotions finally calmed down a little. She gasped heavily, and a thick layer of sweat oozed out from her forehead.

After a while, he weakly said, "Donglin, let go! I'm fine."

Afraid that Shen Donglin wouldn't believe it, she firmly repeated, "I'm really fine."

Shen Donglin gently tugged at the corner of his mouth and suddenly smiled miserably.

She only wanted him to let go because she didn't want to let Ning Yao down. In her eyes, Ning Yao was her best friend.

Then what was he?

"Sorry, it's me, Mo Tu."

…

The sky gradually darkened.

The distant glow faded away and was replaced by a deep ink blue.

When Fu Yuchen was about to leave the office after work, it was already six o'clock in the evening. The phone on the desk suddenly rang. He hurriedly picked it up and took a look.

Teacher Li?

This is a kindergarten teacher in Lanlan.

Fu Yuchen stretched out his hand and scanned the screen. "Hello, Teacher Li."

"Father Lanlan, why hasn't your babysitter come to pick up Lanlan at this time? It's already six o'clock. She always comes on time. Why is she suddenly …"

Hearing Teacher Li's words, Fu Yuchen's face changed slightly. "Hasn't she gone yet?"

"That's right! She hasn't come yet, and her phone can't be reached. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you."

"Teacher Li, please take care of Lanlan for a while longer. I'll rush over to pick her up now."

…

After hanging up, Fu Yuchen immediately picked up the car keys and walked out.

As he walked, he called Mo Han.

Very quickly, the mobile secretary's voice came from the handset, "The subscriber you dialed is not in the service area. Please dial again later! The subscriber you dialed …"

Not in the service area?

Fu Yuchen narrowed his eyes invisibly, his exceptionally handsome face tightening.

On the way to kindergarten, he called Mo Han twice, but he still couldn't get through.

Because it was the end of work period, the road was a little congested. When Fu Yuchen arrived at the kindergarten, it was already past 7 pm. Teacher Li had been accompanying Lanlan to read in the classroom.

He hurriedly walked over and leaned over to hold Lanlan in his arms, saying a few words of thanks.

She rubbed her daughter's forehead affectionately and said, "Sorry, Lanlan, Dad's late."

Lanlan did not cry, nor did he make any noise. He only stretched his neck and looked outside.

Lanlan pursed his lips without seeing the person he was longing for. His mood was clearly depressed. "Dad, where's sister? Why isn't sister here to pick me up today?"

"She has something very important to deal with, so Dad is here to pick you up today."

Fu Yuchen decided to make up a white lie.

Lanlan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Well, I've decided to forgive her."

Fu Yuchen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. He then raised his hand and rubbed the little fellow's head, "Lanlan is so obedient! Then think of what you want to eat tonight, and then Daddy will take you there."

Lanlan immediately nodded and asked in a milky voice, "Will sister come with us?"

"Dad said just now that she's still busy."

"Alright! Just me and Daddy. Daddy, I want to eat the sweet and sour fish cooked by my sister."

Fu Yuchen said, "…"

This little fellow simply ignored his words! Just now, he said that Mo Han would not be able to make it back.

Before Fu Yuchen could say anything, Lanlan reached out to cover his face. His voice was soft, cute, and pleasant to hear, "Dad, besides the sweet and sour fish big sister made, I also want to eat the pearl cake big sister made."

"Fu Lanlan."

Fu Yuchen called Lanlan by name.

The little fellow was instantly shocked as he stared at him with a pitiful expression, "Dad …"

"Lanlan, Dad just said that Tang Tang has something very important to deal with. She won't be coming back for the time being."

"But Dad, I miss her. Dad, can you take me to find her?"

Fu Yuchen was so angry that he threw his precious daughter into the back of the carriage and said, "… I'll bring you to find her now. However, I have to tell you first that her phone can't be reached."

The little fellow immediately frowned, "Dad, can you still find your sister?"

Fu Yuchen said, "…"

To tell the truth, he wasn't even the slightest bit confident.

Although he knew her current identity, he didn't know anything about her circle of friends. More importantly, Tong Yan had told him that she was currently homeless.

Fu Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Lanlan? We'll drive around the city a few more times. Maybe we'll see her."

The little fellow snorted and curled his lips angrily, "Dad, do you think I'm stupid?"

"I--"

Fu Yuchen instantly choked, unable to utter a single word because of his daughter.

Lanlan put her hands on her cheeks. After a while, she raised her head again and asked seriously, "Dad, does sister not want us anymore?"

"Of course not."

Fu Yuchen denied without hesitation.

After a pause, he patiently explained, "Lanlan, she's out on a very important business. She'll definitely come back when she's done."

Seemingly remembering something, Lanlan's eyes lit up and he immediately said excitedly, "Big sister promised me that she would always accompany me. Therefore, Dad, big sister will not abandon me."

Fu Yuchen heaved a sigh of relief. After hanging in suspense for a long time, his heart finally fell back into his chest.

But in the next second, his heart that had fallen back hung up again. The little fellow said pitifully, "But, Dad, what if sister doesn't keep her promise?"

"No, definitely not. Didn't you think that she would abandon us last time? But she came back later, and this time, too. When she's done with her work, she'll definitely come back."

Hearing what his father said, Lanlan felt that it made sense.

She thought for a moment and said listlessly, "Alright then! I can barely believe what Dad said."

…

The elevator car was pitch black.

Even the two of them who were very close to each other couldn't see clearly what Xue Mo looked like. The purpose of entering was only pitch-black.

"Wanwan, don't be afraid! The staff are already rescuing us. We'll be leaving soon."

A familiar voice rang in Mo Han's ears, and she immediately felt less afraid.

She nodded gently and remembered that Shen Donglin couldn't see her. She hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I can hold on."

Her upper and lower teeth were trembling, and she was still terrified.

Occasionally, conversations could be heard through the hard iron wall. Mo Han knew that the person who rescued them had already arrived.

After a moment of silence, Mo Han gritted her teeth and weakly asked, "Donglin, what time is it now?"

She's picking up Lanlan from kindergarten!

Very quickly, Mo Han saw a glimmer of light. Then, she heard Shen Donglin say, "Seven o'clock."

She was stunned for a moment and murmured, "It's seven o'clock?"

The next moment, Mo Han stood up and shouted to the rescuers outside, "You guys, can you hurry up? I'm in a hurry."

Shen Donglin was so frightened that he immediately pulled her, "Wanwan, it's dangerous! Quickly squat down!"

In fact, after Mo Han shouted this sentence, her courage was exhausted and her legs trembled with fear.

Suddenly, the tightly shut elevator door was forcefully opened by a pair of hands.

Fu Yuchen stood there without taking a step forward.

His gaze crossed the crowd and landed on that inconspicuous face. There were a few conspicuous small freckles beside his nose, and there was still a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose …

Unfortunately, Mo Han only glanced at him, and then all of his attention was attracted by Lanlan.

She held Lanlan in her arms, rubbed her forehead affectionately, and smiled hard.

Lanlan hugged Mo Han's neck tightly and buried her face in her chest. She said sullenly, "Sister, why didn't you pick me up at kindergarten today? I missed you."

The little fellow's voice was cute and soft, with a little grievance.

Mo Han's heart was instantly melted by her.

She lowered her head, her forehead resting on the little fellow's forehead, her lips slightly opened, and her voice was soft and gentle, "Sorry, Lanlan, something unexpected happened to me."

Lanlan covered Mo Han's mouth.

Mo Han was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashing with suspicion.

Then, the little fellow said seriously, "Sister, you don't have to apologize to me. I know all about it. Dad has already told me."

Uh, Mo Han subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the man not far away.

A few steps away from her, an exceptionally handsome face was tightly tensed. The gentle light above his head fell, making his face exceptionally gentle, and his pair of eyes also looked deep and gloomy.

Mo Han only took a glance and quickly withdrew her gaze, fearing that she would fall completely into it.

'"Lanlan, what did your father say to you?" She asked without a trace.

"Hmm …" The little fellow tilted his head, then squinted and smiled. "Daddy said that big sister had something very important to deal with. Daddy also said that big sister would not abandon me."

Mo Han couldn't help but smile.

Then, she carried Lanlan and walked towards the man.

Stopping half a meter away from Fu Yuchen, Mo Han lowered her eyes slightly and whispered, "Sir, if you don't believe what I said on the phone, I can explain it to you face to face. I left my friend's house and entered the elevator …"

"I believe you."

Before Mo Han could finish speaking, Fu Yuchen suddenly interrupted her, his tone filled with certainty.

Mo Han was stunned.

The pair of apricot eyes under the lenses instantly widened, as if they didn't believe what they heard.

Are men so fickle these days?

Fu Yuchen curled his lips in amusement. He suddenly raised his hand and gently rubbed Mo Han's head a few times. "Didn't I just believe what you said? What's there to make a fuss about?"
