“Why are you still here? Anything else you want?”

Sheng Yeting didn’t answer Xia Xingcheng’s question. He merely took a glance at Xia Xingcheng’s dressed wound and said shortly, “Get in the car.”

Xia Xingcheng pursed her lips as she recalled that rather baffling kiss and she couldn’t help but suspect him. She brooded over the situation for a while and said, “Thank you very much for President Sheng’s good will but I’m kind of busy right now, so I may take my leave first.”

She was about to turn around and leave when Sheng Yeting suddenly became upset and gritted his teeth. “Xia Xingcheng, am I allowing you to leave?”

There was somehow a surging annoyance coming towards her. Xia Xingcheng frowned at this odd man in front of her. She was really in a hurry but the man was still pestering her. Xia Xingcheng could only angrily fish out a one-hundred-yuan note and handed it to Sheng Yeting. "I’m obliged to you but I’m really in a hurry. Can I just pay off your lift fee?"

Seeing that she was giving him another one-hundred, Sheng Yeting’s eyes narrowed dangerously. ‘Well done! This woman!’

She was so daring in challenging his dignity over and over again.

“I was trying to help bring you to your son but you don’t seem to be interested. Never mind then. Drive…”

Sheng Yeting sneered, shut the door as he stopped looking at Xia Xingcheng, sat back in his car and drove off heedlessly.

It suddenly occurred to Xia Xingcheng what he meant by that, and could it be that he knew where Bao was? The hope in Xia Xingcheng’s heart was suddenly set ablaze and without caring about anything else, Xia Xingcheng ran after and shouted to Sheng Yeting’s car, “Hey…wait! Make what you just said clear!”

She gave out several shouts while Sheng Yeting in the car didn’t pay any attention but only ordered the driver to drive on. Seeing the car getting further away, Xia Xingcheng could only push herself hard to run after the car since she was concerned about Bao’s whereabouts, but in her heart she had already cursed Sheng Yeting a thousand times.

In the car Sheng Yeting was, naturally, watching Xia Xingcheng chase the vehicle through the rear view mirror. He somehow had some mischievous thoughts in his mind. He deliberately asked the driver to slow down a little but not stopping in order to tease her.

After seeing her chasing the Maybach for a while, Sheng Yeting still didn't show any sign of stopping the car. Xia Xingcheng stared at the car with hatred, knowing that Sheng Yeting was deliberately making trouble for her. She couldn’t stop because Sheng Yeting perhaps was the only one who knew the whereabouts of Bao. Even if she had to be exhausted to death and beg Sheng Yeting, she had to find Bao. “Sheng Yeting, wait!”

The car drove on for a while and Xia Xingcheng could not run anymore. She had almost lost her temper and she knew that this guy was doing it deliberately! Xia Xingcheng was too worn-out to run and finally she quit running completely. Being so tired, she then squatted on the road and glared at that car with a rather funny look.

Sheng Yeting’s car reversed slowly and, with the window rolling down, there came his face with an arrogant smirk. “Why have you stopped running? Are you that weak?”

Xia Xingcheng puffed and stared at the man in front of her angrily, facing his sarcastic remarks, and she really wanted to kill him with her stare…

Sheng Yeting watched her behaving this way and chuckled at her puffing face. He gave a rare smile and said, “What are you daydreaming for? Get in quickly!”

Xia Xingting dared not to argue with him anymore and could only climb into the car, asking him instantly, “President Sheng, do you really know where Bao is?’

Sheng Yeting nodded and said dryly, “Yea.” It was not that he didn’t want to talk much, but he was keeping Xia Xingcheng in suspense on purpose. He felt that he begun to enjoy seeing this woman, Xia Xingcheng, pout with a puffy face from being upset with him!

Seeing Sheng Yeting being silent, Xia Xingcheng felt rather concerned and she urged, “Where is he? Please just tell me! I’m getting desperate!”

Sheng Yeting was annoyed by her noise and simply told her, “You’ll know when you are there.”

Hearing this, Xia Xingcheng felt reassured a little bit. She stopped talking along the way and instead stared blankly at the view outside.

It didn’t take long for the car to arrive at the most famous villa block of Yanjing – Royal-Kingsize Hall. Xia Xingcheng was sizing up a majestic building and found it quite magnificent, but she didn’t know that only top-class people could get access to living in the inner area. Money alone could not buy their way in because they also need to be powerful.

The Sheng family’s mansion was located at the top of the mountain which was a giant manor, and the magnificence of it was on the same level as that of a palace. Although Xia Xingcheng had been away of home for years and she could not estimate the value of this mansion, she could tell that the Sheng’s power was really something.

Following Sheng Yeting out of the car, Xia Xingcheng was rather stupefied. The fairly big villa of the Xia’s was no match for this mansion. Though she had these thoughts in her mind, Xia Xingcheng didn’t give away any expression of shock but felt rather confused and she asked Sheng Yeting, “Is this your home? Why have you brought me here?”

Sheng Yeting did not answer her yet. Seeing that Xia Xingcheng didn’t show much wistful affection towards it like other women did, Sheng Yeting was somewhat shocked and he began to look at her tenderly.

Sheng Yeting didn’t pause for long after they got out of the car, but walked directly to the gate. Xia Xingcheng had no choice but to follow his footsteps.

“Mr. Sheng, welcome home!”

Once Sheng Yeting stepped into the house a chorus of housekeepers and maids began to greet him. These rules were like a legacy of the ancient royal palace. By no means had Xia Xingcheng ever seen such grandeur and she was unable to cover her shock, while pretending to be calm and walking after him with her head lowered.

They had been walking like this for a while and Sheng Yeting brought Xia Xingcheng to the bedroom. He looked around and asked the housekeeper, “Uncle Zhang, where is my mom?”

“In the back garden.” Uncle Zhang replied humbly.

Sheng Yeting nodded and didn’t pause long, then brought Xia Xingcheng all the way to the so-called back garden.

Along the way, the more she saw, the more she felt awed that the whole decorative style and construction of the Sheng’s home denoted more than just money.

Xia Xingcheng felt she was like a village woman; for the first time she had the honor to visit the mortal paradise.

When they had just arrived at the rear garden, Xia Xingcheng saw her little son squatting in the flower bushes and playing happily. Xia Xingcheng was so surprised that she cried excitedly, “Bao!”

Bao was sitting with his back towards Xia Xingcheng and suddenly he heard his mom’s voice and turned around to look. The second he saw Xia Xingcheng, he dropped the flowers in his hands and rushed into her arms.

“Mommy, I missed you so much!” said Bao, crying. Only when he nuzzled up to his mother’s chest did he start to feel better.

Although Bao had been safe here all this time, still he had never been apart from his mother for so long, and he missed Mom so badly. Xia Xingcheng put her arm tightly around him. Bao then realized that his mother had not been hurt and he then raised his head and said in amazement, “I knew that daddy would save Mommy!”
