The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 132 - 128: A Package from Afar

Mrs. Xiao was stunned, "What? Who is He Caiwei?"

Shao Ping raised a brow, "Oh, sorry, madam, I mistook you for someone else."

He smiled generously at Mrs. Xiao, "This young comrade looks very much like an old acquaintance of mine."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Without thinking much, Mrs. Xiao handed the child in Hongguo’s arms to Shao Ping, "Comrade, we need to report a case."

Shao Ping’s gaze turned serious, "What happened?"

"This child, we don’t know who they belong to."

After listening to Hongguo’s account, the public security officers frowned tightly, "You’re really lucky, young lady, they weren’t planning to just give you the child, they were thinking of taking you along too."

If she hadn’t had a small knife with her, realized something was wrong, and protected herself decisively...

She might not have escaped the ordeal.

The child was very young, only three or four months old.

Although naturally well-behaved and not prone to fussiness, being surrounded by so many people made them feel scared.

They pouted and began to cry softly.

Tears as big as beans hung on their face.

They weren’t loud, but still made people feel sorry for them.

Mrs. Xiao, being inherently soft-hearted, quickly took the child back from Shao Ping upon seeing them cry.

"Poor thing, probably hungry."

Wen Ran reached into her bag and pulled out some nearly finished milk powder, "There’s just a bit left, let’s feed them this first."

The group hurriedly prepared hot water, mixed the milk powder, and fed the child spoon by spoon.

Seeing the child stop crying and eat eagerly with each spoonful, Mrs. Xiao’s heart ached.

She cursed under her breath, "Damn human traffickers, they should go to hell!"

The public security officers immediately sent people out to search for the traffickers, but unfortunately, with so little useful information from Hongguo, and the current influx of people,

everyone returned empty-handed.

"Brother Shao," a female public security officer entered the door, shocked by the crowd in the room, her words got stuck in her throat.

"This..."

"Zhu Jing, you came just in time."

Zhu Jing, who was quite tall, bent down before Mrs. Xiao to carefully examine the child in the swaddle.

The child, now full, closed their eyes and drifted into a sweet sleep.

"Brother Shao..."

Zhu Jing looked up, her face full of shock, "This child looks very familiar to me."

Shao Ping was startled, "What? An acquaintance of yours?"

"No," Zhu Jing took an envelope from her pocket, opened it, and pulled out a photo.

Staring at the family of three in the photo, Zhu Jing focused on the child.

Upon closer inspection, it was exactly the same.

"Brother Shao, look."

Wen Ran’s curiosity piqued, she slowly stood next to Shao Ping, tiptoeing to take a peek at the photo.

Xiao Chenye: "???."

He swallowed, calmly moved beside Wen Ran, effortlessly lifting her up.

"Whoosh~"

The elevation happened in an instant.

Wen Ran’s height suddenly surpassed Shao Ping and the others.

Wen Ran was stunned, though still composed, she looked down at Xiao Chenye and issued a soul-searching question, "What are you doing?"

"You couldn’t see; tiptoeing is a bit tiring, this way, it’s more comfortable."

Wen Ran was dizzy, with a momentary blackout.

Here I thought you were a confidant, and you’ve used my face as a mop.

Shao Ping chuckled lightly, facing Xiao Chenye, calmly putting the photo away, "No need for that, if you want to see, just let me know."

Wen Ran landed, and the photo was handed to her.

She stared seriously at the photo.

She glanced at the photo and then at the child.

Comparing meticulously.

Seeing Wen Ran so solemn, Zhu Jing couldn’t help but be serious too, asking earnestly, "So, is it exactly the same?"

Wen Ran lifted her head in bewilderment, somewhat unsure, "Maybe?"

Zhu Jing became anxious, "Can’t you see? They really are identical."

Wen Ran couldn’t tell, in her eyes, all kids look similar.

She awkwardly handed the photo back to Shao Ping, "You all have a better look."

Xiao Chenye craned his neck for a look, "They do look quite alike."

Wen Ran quietly stood behind Xiao Chenye, slipping her hand into his clothes at the hem and gave it a hard squeeze.

She couldn’t catch anything.

This man’s physique was too good, no excess flesh on his waist.

"Ranran?"

Xiao Chenye blushed, his ears turning red, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing," Wen Ran calmly withdrew her hand, "there was just a little bug, I took it out."

"Oh, oh, oh."

No matter if the child was alike or not, the Xiao Family’s task was complete.

Leaving the child at the police station and their address, they hurriedly headed home.

Just upon arriving in the county town, they saw the team leader driving a cart of oxen.

"Uncle!"

Wen Ran cheered excitedly, howling, "Uncle!"

The team leader, upon seeing Wen Ran, was thrilled, "Goodness, I thought you all weren’t coming back!"

"How could that be," Wen Ran’s little mouth, sweet as if it were smeared with honey, "there’s no place like home."

She pulled out a yogurt lump from her pocket and quickly stuffed it into the team leader’s mouth.

"Uncle, try this, a special treat from the Northwest, yogurt lump."

The team leader, knowing nothing, took a big bite with a smile.

The extreme sourness immediately twisted the expression on the team leader’s face.

The longing built up over days apart, disappeared at that moment.

Amidst the team leader’s scolding, the ox cart leisurely set off.

Wen Ran felt utterly satisfied from head to toe.

Ah~~

How comfortable.

Going home!

Feeling cheeky, it was truly invigorating, making every bone and muscle stretch.

The Xiao Family: "?"

Couldn’t understand, but respected.

After half a journey of cursing, they reached the Silly Deer Team, the team leader’s anger subsided, grumbling, "Alright, I won’t bicker with you anymore, you have a package at the county, since your family wasn’t home, the postman brought it to my house."

Package?

Wen Ran felt a bit puzzled, blinked, and acknowledged, "Okay."

Picking up the package at the team leader’s house, the team leader drove the ox cart to drop everyone at the Xiao home first, then took Wen Ran and Hongguo back.

Before departing, Mrs. Xiao entrusted them earnestly, "Your family has few people, it’s not worth cooking, just tidy things up with Hongguo and come over, alright?"

"Got it!"

After unlocking, the team leader waved, complaining, "Your chickens are easy to take care of, but the dog won’t stay with me, running away every few days; at first, I looked for it, but later I just let it be."

"No worries, it’s probably just off playing somewhere."

Hetao after all was a wolf, strutting confidently in the Silly Deer Team, no problem!

"Alright, I’m off then."

"Goodbye~"

From the ox cart behind, Hongguo made a gesture to Wen Ran, and when the team leader was far away, Hongguo finally said, "Uncle is a good person."

"Indeed."

The whole setup today was clearly just waiting for us in the county.

"Let’s go!" Wen Ran said with a smile, "Let’s get our things sorted."

"Yeah!"

She was also looking forward to having a meal with aunty!
