"And what about you, the culprit? Although you saved my sister's life and promised to marry her, what did you do in the end?"

"You gave my sister hope, but in the month when she was about to give birth, you left without saying goodbye. After my sister gave birth to your pair of twin sons, she left a letter and took the elder son away.

Speaking of this, Lan Xiaoling was already sobbing uncontrollably and choked, "My sister said she was going to find you, saying that you must have had some unavoidable difficulties to abandon her and the child. But after she left, there has been no news of her for all these years!"

At that time, she was studying abroad. When she heard the news that her sister was going to give birth, she rushed back immediately.

Who would have thought that in the end, all she saw was the crying younger son who was waiting to be fed and the letter left by her sister.

The name Gabriel was mentioned in the letter, so Lan Xiaoling had remembered it until now.

As for her sister's experience, it had been spread throughout the whole village, and it was hard for her not to know.

Gabriel pressed his forehead. He tried to think according to what Lan Xiaoling had said, but the fragmented images were still there, and he couldn't piece together all the memories at all.

He said hoarsely, "The child just now, named Yuanbao, is my son?"

Lan Xiaoling thought for a while. Since things had come to this, there was nothing to hide. She had raised Yuanbao for her sister until now. If the child could be reunited with his biological father, her sister would be happy to know it.

So she confessed, "Yes, he is."

Gabriel turned his head to look in the direction of the room. The little guy was obviously hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, and his little head popped out from time to time.

He walked over and, before Yuanbao could react, picked him up and held him in his arms.

Yuanbao had just heard the truth and was in a daze. Now that he was being held by his daddy, he looked up at him in a confused way.

"Since he is my son, I will fulfill my duty as a father to take care of him. As for the efforts Miss Lan has put in all these years, I will do my best to compensate you." After saying that, he took out a bank card and a business card from his body and handed them to her. "Since you are pregnant, take good care of your baby. If this money is not enough, feel free to contact the number on the card."

Lan Xiaoling glanced at the bank card and asked, "How much is in it?"

Gabriel said indifferently, "Eighty million."

Lan Xiaoling was slightly taken aback. He was so generous.

But she quickly smiled and returned the bank card to him. "No need. I'm not pregnant. I just made up that reason to scare away that drunkard. I'll take the business card, though."

Over the years, she had had little time to meet female friends because of taking care of Yuanbao. Moreover, because of Yuanbao's existence, she had been constantly ridiculed by the villagers. To protect Yuanbao, she had never thought about getting married.

She had also thought about taking Yuanbao to find her sister, but thinking that Gabriel might come back, she chose to stay in this village, hoping for a glimmer of hope.

Finally, her efforts paid off, and she had finally waited for this man.

Gabriel didn't take the bank card back and said indifferently, "This is what you deserve. Take this money and live the life you want."

After saying that, he looked down at Yuanbao, who was staring at him blankly, and continued, "I'll take him away later. Of course, I will also do my best to find your sister."

Although she had expected this day to come, when she heard that Yuanbao was going to leave her, Lan Xiaoling suddenly felt an empty feeling in her heart.

Over the years, Yuanbao had been her support. The two of them had depended on each other and grown together through five years. They had already been connected in heart and soul and couldn't be separated.

Lan Xiaoling just felt a pang of sadness in her heart and was filled with reluctance.

Although Yuanbao was still young, he knew what it meant to leave. He struggled in Gabriel's arms and cried, "I don't want to be separated from Auntie. I want to be with Auntie forever."

"Yuanbao..." Lan Xiaoling sniffled and soothed him. "Your daddy will give you a better life. Go with him."

"I don't want to!" Yuanbao cried, and tears fell.

Lan Xiaoling felt sorry for him and reached out to wipe his tears. "Be good and listen. Auntie can't accompany you for a lifetime."

But Yuanbao held her hand tightly. In his heart, Auntie was his mommy.

Since he was old enough to understand things, the first person he saw was Auntie, and she was the most important person to him.

The big one and the small one hugged each other and cried.

Even though Gabriel was cold-blooded, he was slightly moved by this scene. In the end, even he couldn't believe that he said a word.

"If Miss Lan is willing, you can also come with me to find your sister."

Lan Xiaoling had been heartbroken just a moment ago. When she suddenly heard these words, she looked at Gabriel in a daze.

Although he still had a cold expression, the flash of warmth in his eyes showed that he wasn't so heartless.

Lan Xiaoling had long wanted to leave here. Moreover, since her sister had been missing for so long, she was very worried. Lan Xiaoling had planned to go to find her sister after Yuanbao found his father. Unexpectedly, Gabriel had given her this opportunity.

"Is that okay?" she asked nervously.

Gabriel pursed his lips and hummed. "Yuanbao is used to living with you, so he naturally depends on you. As for my relationship with him, it will need a transition period. After he starts to accept my existence, Miss Lan can choose whether to stay or leave."

Lan Xiaoling said excitedly, "I'm willing." After saying that, she felt that these three words were not quite right and added, "Yuanbao is my nephew, and I'm willing to take care of him without pay."

When Yuanbao saw that he could be with Auntie again, he stopped crying immediately.

Just like that, Lan Xiaoling packed her luggage and left the village with Gabriel overnight.

...

In the black Humvee.

Freya was still holding the photo frame in her hand, and her brows were furrowed deeply.

"I really didn't expect that this nanny is actually the Lady's sister-in-law. No wonder the Lady trusts her so much and leaves her only biological daughter in her care."

This fact still caught Freya a bit off guard.

However, the nanny refused to confess everything no matter what. Freya was worried about hurting the child, so she didn't continue the interrogation and asked Blue Book to take the two of them away directly.

Bradley was also surprised. The Lady was already at such an age, yet she actually had a child.

"We'll interrogate this nanny carefully later. She must be hiding some big secrets in her heart!"

Having been in the society for so many years, Bradley had already developed a keen eye for judging people. The nanny spoke evasively, and when it came to the child's father, she deliberately avoided the topic.

This made people suspect that there was something wrong with the child's father.

Freya also had the same suspicion. She put down the photo frame, pinched her forehead, and said, "We may still need to ask Young Master Lu for help. If the nanny refuses to talk, we need to use Young Master Lu's influence in Central Africa to investigate the identity of Wei Jiajia's biological father."

Bradley nodded and said, "Okay. Let's go home first and discuss it."
