The reason was simple, Little Hui Sister and the Female CEO couldn’t progress any further in their relationship for now, and as for Goddess Pei, how dull it would be if she really only invited him over for a meal.

To be safe, Wang Dadong called Yin Yuemei first to confirm that it would be convenient tonight. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Do... Doctor Wang, come over, I’m home tonight." A shy voice came from the other end of the phone.

Wang Dadong was somewhat displeased, "Sister Yuemei, what did you just call me?"

"Wait for me a moment."

After a little while, Yin Yuemei’s voice came through the phone again. "Was Lele there just now?"

"Cough cough, alright then, what should you call me now?"

"Hu... husband."

Listening to that voice over the phone that seemed to melt his entire being, Wang Dadong felt exceptionally wonderful.

Yin Yuemei was still the first woman to call him husband, and moreover, this woman already had a child. That feeling, really, was indescribably tantalizing.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Dadong could no longer contain the flames in his heart and extravagantly hailed a taxi.

Of course, he didn’t forget to send a message to both Little Hui Sister and the Female CEO saying he had something to do and wouldn’t be home tonight.

Then he called Goddess Pei, "Goddess Pei, I have something to do tonight, let’s have dinner another time."

"Mm, okay." Goddess Pei didn’t ask anything more, but one could detect a hint of disappointment in her tone.

It only took half an hour for Wang Dadong to arrive at Yin Yuemei’s place.

"Lele, Lele is here..." Yin Yuemei said with a flushed face.

"How about letting Lele go to a classmate’s house to play for a while?" Wang Dadong couldn’t help suggesting as he looked at Yin Yuemei.

"Then, wait for me." Yin Yuemei said with a red face.

At this moment, Lele was doing homework in the study.

"Lele, have you finished your homework yet?"

Lele looked up with a sweet smile. "Not yet, I still need to work on it for a while."

"How about, you, you go to Xiao Hong’s house to do it?"

Lele shook her head and said. "Lele doesn’t want to do homework with Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong is so stupid, she doesn’t know anything."

"Lele, look, doesn’t your teacher always teach you guys, to be happy to help others? Now Xiao Hong is not good at studying, you should help her." While speaking, Yin Yuemei felt her cheeks burning intensely, and her heart was overwhelmed with embarrassment. She never thought she would end up deceiving her own daughter.

Lele tilted her head to think for a moment, but she still shook her head in the end. "Mom, not only is Xiao Hong stupid, she’s also not clean. Lele doesn’t want to be with her."

This left Yin Yuemei feeling helpless—it seemed they would have to wait until Lele had gone to sleep.

At this time, Wang Dadong entered the room.

"Superman Daddy, you’re here!" Upon seeing Wang Dadong, Lele immediately cheered and then threw herself into his arms.

"Mmm, Daddy is here to see if Lele has been a good girl." Wang Dadong picked up Lele.

A trace of apology appeared on Yin Yuemei’s face; she hadn’t been able to successfully get Lele to leave.

"Mmm, Lele, hurry up and do your homework. When you’re finished, Daddy will perform a magic trick for you." Wang Dadong teased Lele’s little nose and said indulgently.

"Daddy, I don’t want to do homework anymore, I want to go play at Xiao Hong’s house." Lele suddenly said.

Damn it, what exactly did I say wrong?

This kid, could she be so considerate?

"Daddy, you go keep Mom company, okay? Mom calls your name every night, it’s so noisy. I’m off to play at Xiao Hong’s house." After speaking, Lele dashed out of the house like a whirlwind.

The two left behind looked at each other in bewilderment. Damn, what’s going on?

This child was just too... too sensible.

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a few hours had passed, and the evening had gradually darkened.

"What time is it now? Why hasn’t Lele come back yet?" Yin Yuemei said somewhat puzzled.

Wang Dadong took out his phone to check the time and was startled. They had been so engrossed that they had lost track of time, and now it was already eleven o’clock at night.

Lele had been gone from home for a full three hours already.

Lele usually went to bed by 10:30 at the latest, but it was now past eleven, and Lele still hadn’t returned.

The two of them hurried out of the room and quickly made their way to Xiao Hong’s house.

"Lele? Lele hasn’t come to my house." Xiao Hong’s mother, who had already gone to bed, said groggily.

The two exchanged worried glances.

Lele was always well-behaved and truthful; if she said she was going to Xiao Hong’s house to play, she definitely went there.

Now that there was no one at Xiao Hong’s house, it was very possible that something had happened.

"It’s all my fault, all my fault. If only I hadn’t let Lele go out..." Thinking of the recent news reports about child traffickers kidnapping children, Yin Yuemei couldn’t help but start sobbing.

"Sister Yuemei, don’t worry, I will definitely find Lele." Wang Dadong looked at Yin Yuemei and spoke softly.

...

In a rundown rental room.

"Auntie, please don’t hit Lele. Lele will be very obedient." Little Lele huddled in the corner, trembling as she spoke.

In the room, there were also two other kids around seven or eight years old.

All these children had disabilities; some had broken legs—there wasn’t one intact among them.

Looking at the heavily made-up woman, fear showed clearly in their eyes.

"Heh heh, just be obedient, or you’ll end up like them." The woman threatened menacingly.

As she spoke, she even kicked a little boy who had a broken leg.

The woman left the room, locking the door behind her.

"Today’s little girl is pretty and has really cute big eyes." A young boy of about eighteen spoke from outside the door.

"What, you got a problem with that? Don’t forget how I treated you when you first got here. If it weren’t for me, you’d be just like them!" The woman said coldly.

"No, no problem..." It was apparent that the boy called Xiao Si was terrified of this woman.

Xiao Si trembled noticeably, giving Wu Shengnan a satisfying sense of power, and she sneered, "Xiao Si, just be good and listen to Sister Shengnan, I won’t let you down."

"When you’re done with your job, come to my room and find me." The woman said earnestly.

Remembering the woman’s freckled face, and those two big buck teeth, Xiao Si shivered with disgust, and a spiteful gleam appeared in his eyes as he thought of her.
