Although she knew it, she still couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Boss lady? Boss lady, are you inside?"

The sudden noise at the warehouse entrance startled He Xin.

She instinctively covered her mouth, and at the same time covered Su Chen's mouth as well.

He was signaled to be quiet.

But Su Chen suddenly remembered something: the door seemed to have been left open when they came in.

Su Chen wanted to remind him.

But He Xin just shook her head.

With a helpless sigh, Su Chen stood up, holding He Xin, and moved away from the cabinet next to him.

The moment he stood up, the warehouse door was pushed open.

Zhu Luxi appeared outside the door.

"Boss lady Su Chen, are you there? Are you not here either?"

Zhu Luxi glanced around the warehouse.

It was pitch black.

Although it wasn't dirty, he didn't plan to go in and search carefully.

"That's strange. They were both here before they left, how could they disappear in the blink of an eye? Even if they went out, the door couldn't have been left open."

Zhu Luxi stood at the door scratching her head, and then two children ran over.

"Auntie, have you found my mom?" Duoduo looked at her with her innocent eyes.

Isabel looked up and asked, "Where's my handsome dad? Didn't you say he was here today?"

Zhu Luxi squatted down and looked at the two of them.

"Your mom and handsome uncle might be playing hide-and-seek with me. Why don't you two help me look for them here together, okay?"

"Yay! Hide and seek!" The two little ones were overjoyed to hear that it was a game.

"Did Mom think they were in here? Then I'll look for them here."

"I'm going to the kitchen! Mom must be preparing something delicious for me."

Isabel ran towards the warehouse, while Dodo ran towards the kitchen.

Zhu Luxi continued calling out names as she wandered around the coffee shop.

As Zhu Luxi's voice faded into the distance, Su Chen and He Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them were hiding behind the cabinet at that moment.

The space here isn't very big; two people stacked together can barely hide inside.

"It seems like the person has gone far away."

"Um......"

Su Chen had just finished speaking.

He noticed that He Xin seemed to have returned to the way she was when she was outside.

It seems to be even more serious.

Su Chen saluted to show his respect.

Just then, a child's voice suddenly came from inside the window.

"Handsome uncle, are you there?"

493: A strange sound of water. Duoduo: Handsome uncle, where's my mom?

He Xin is so embarrassed.

She was already feeling a bit unwell, and now she was crammed into such a small space with Su Chen.

In particular, I noticed the changes in Su Chen.

She was completely devastated.

My mind feels completely blank.

Just as she lost her composure, she heard Isabel's voice from beside her.

This made her even more nervous.

What to do now?

He Xin, with the last vestiges of her rationality, looked at Su Chen, hoping he would help her.

Actually, she hasn't figured it out yet.

If Zhu Luxi was brought here when she first arrived, that explains the situation.

They shouldn't be in this situation now.

However, He Xin is clearly not in a state where she can think about so many things right now.

Su Chen really wants to help, but his health condition doesn't allow him to go out.

And he didn't want to go out either.

Tap tap tap! ~

Hearing the approaching footsteps, He Xin's body began to tremble again, whether from nervousness or fear.

Su Chen hugged her today, bringing her closer to him.

He Xin trembled even more violently.

Tick-tock! ~Tick-tock! ~

Suddenly, the sound of dripping water could be heard in the quiet warehouse.

Isabel, who had been very curious, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

A hint of fear appeared on her small face.

"Handsome Daddy~ Are you there? Please don't scare Belle, okay?~"

Isabel's voice trembled slightly; she was indeed afraid.

When I'm bored at home, I sometimes secretly watch horror movies.

The more crowded the place, the clearer the images of those ghosts and monsters became in my mind.

Tick-tock!

As she walked closer, the sound of the dripping water grew more rapid.

"Handsome dad~ Is that you in there? Don't scare me~"

Isabel walked shakily toward the sound.

This is a cabinet.

Bottles of various coffee beans were displayed on top, along with some instruction manuals.

But Isabel couldn't understand any of these things.

And it's not something she cares about.

Her eyes were fixed on the side of the cabinet; the voice was coming from there.

Just as Isabel was getting closer and closer to that place.

Sudden.

A head popped out from above.

"what!!!!"

"Hi!~"

Isabel screamed in terror, but then she heard a gasp of shock.

"Handsome dad!"

When Isabel saw Su Chen's face, all her fear vanished.

She ran excitedly to the cabinet and exclaimed, "Handsome Dad, what are you doing here? My parents have been looking for you outside for ages!"

Su Chen crouched down beside the cabinet, preventing her from seeing what was inside.

"Shh! I'm playing hide-and-seek with your mother. Don't tell anyone about me, or I'll treat you to something delicious when we get out."

"Mmm! I definitely won't tell anyone." Isabel happily hugged her toy and nodded sweetly.

If Zhu Luxi knew that her daughter had been so easily bribed, she would probably be furious.

"Can Belle go out now? I'll go out when your mother gives in."

"Okay!" Isabel turned and left, and Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
