Nan Shu sensed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit off, and racked her brains trying to figure out how to take the opportunity to leave.

But to everyone's surprise, after hearing Qi Yuye's words, Lin Xi turned around angrily and went back to her room.

"Dad, please don't be angry. I put the ring in my pocket."

Nuomi held his hand and said pitifully.

"Sweetie, Daddy didn't mean to blame you. Go play!"

The child was carefree; seeing that Qi Yuye's expression was gentle, he didn't take it to heart, nodded, and ran away.

At this moment, only Nan Shu and Qi Yuye remained.

Qi Yuye glanced at her and said, "I know you're not that kind of person. This was a misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart."

Nan Shu didn't feel grateful at all for what he said. If Qi Yuye hadn't suddenly appeared, Lin Xi's method would have worked long ago.

She no longer needs to stay here in fear and anxiety.

In the end, it's all Qi Yuye's fault for meddling in other people's business.

"I didn't know Mr. Qi had ever been so generous in helping me. Thank you so much."

Nan Shu couldn't help but mock.

Sensing the sarcasm in her tone, Qi Yuye frowned instinctively. "What kind of attitude is this? I kindly helped you, and you're ungrateful and instead being sarcastic?"

"I didn't! How could I dare!"

Qi Yuye snorted coldly, "You better behave yourself and don't try any tricks, or you'll know what will happen."

After saying that, he gave Nan Shu a warning look, and Nan Shu couldn't help but shudder. She didn't want to anger this guy.

Nan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief after Qi Yuye left.

But what followed was an even stronger sense of unease and confusion: how could I possibly stop all of this from happening?

Just then, Nuomi came running over again.

"Auntie, why are you here all alone? Have you seen Umum?"

Nan Shu squatted down and patted Nuomi's little head. "He should be playing downstairs. You like playing with Enen so much?"

Nuomi smiled sweetly, "Yes! Auntie, I like you too."

"Your auntie likes you too!"

Who wouldn't be happy to be told they like such a cute little creature, especially since Nuomi is so adorable and lively?

Nuomi was also very willing to get close to Nan Shu. Every time Nan Shu touched her head, Nuomi felt warm all over.

"Auntie, I'm going to tell you a secret, but you can't tell anyone else!"

Nuomi quietly approached Nan Shu, who squatted down, somewhat curious. "What secret is it? Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone."

Nuomi whispered in her ear, "Auntie, actually, it's not just me who likes you, my dad likes you too."

Upon hearing this, Nan Shu was struck dumb.

What!

Does Qi Yuye like her?

Nan Shu's smile froze on her face. "Nuomi, you can't just say things like that."

She desperately wanted to get as far away from that man as possible.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I can tell you think I'm a kid, but I know everything."

Nuomi looked very proud.

She could sense her father's affection for Nan Shu, but the situation between the adults was a bit complicated.

Hearing him say that, Nan Shu became even more frightened.

She tried everything to stay away from Qi Yuye, but now she learned from the child that Qi Yuye might have other feelings for her. This won't do!

Since learning that Qi Yuye might like her, and considering his behavior over the past few days, Nan Shu has deliberately distanced herself from him.

Whenever Qi Yuye is present, Nan Shu will either not attend or find an excuse to leave.

Once or twice was fine, but after it happened a few times, Qi Yuye realized something was wrong.

That morning, Nan Shu went downstairs to have breakfast.

During this period, she deliberately avoided eating with Qi Yuye, just in case they bumped into each other.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Qi Yuye, who usually finished eating and went to work long ago, still sitting calmly at the table.

Nan Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned to go back to her room.

Just then, Qi Yuye got up and saw her.

"Aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

Nan Shu, who had been called to a stop, had no choice but to sit down at the table and, without looking up, kept showing off her breakfast.

What she didn't see was that Qi Yuye's eyes were already filled with anger.

After finishing breakfast as quickly as possible, Nan Shu got up to leave, but she almost bumped into a solid chest as soon as she stood up.

She quickly took a few steps back, which made Qi Yuye even angrier.

"Am I that scary? Why have you been avoiding me these past few days?"

Nan Shu quickly distanced herself from him, feigning composure, "President Qi, you've misunderstood! I wasn't avoiding you."

"Really not?"

Qi Yuye moved closer and closer, forcing the two of them to close the distance. His warm breath sprayed on her face, and Nan Shu turned her face away uncomfortably.

"Mr. Qi, please have some self-respect."

Upon hearing those two words, Qi Yuye chuckled.

"Now you're telling me about self-respect? Then tell me why you've been avoiding me! Don't try to fool me!"

They're really difficult to deal with.

Nan Shu bit her lower lip and looked up at him. "I really didn't. I don't know why you have such a misconception, and I have no reason to avoid you."

Qi Yuye remained silent, only continuing to approach.

As the two grew closer, Nan Shu recalled that day in the room…

She quickly shook her head, banishing all the chaotic thoughts from her mind, and pushed Qi Yuye away.

"I have other things to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer."

"You better not actually be hiding from me. If I find out you dare to lie."

A deep voice sounded from behind. Although he didn't say the second half of his sentence, Nan Shu could already imagine the threatening tone in his mind.

Nan Shu quickly fled the area, only feeling relieved when she returned to her room.

Because Nan Shu had been deliberately avoiding Qi Yuye, her daughter was picked up and dropped off at school by the family's nanny every day.

The nanny dropped Um-U off near the school early in the morning, gave him a few words of advice, and watched him walk toward the school before turning to leave.

But just as Enen was walking towards school, a black van suddenly stopped on the side of the road.

The car door opened, and a man wearing black sunglasses and a black jacket jumped out of the car, picked up Enen around the waist, and jumped back into the car.

The whole process took less than two minutes.

The school security guard saw this and immediately shouted and chased after them.

"They're kidnapping my child! They're kidnapping my child!"

The black van sped out of the crowd and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Hearing the sound, the nanny turned around and saw that Um-um had already disappeared.

The child is gone!

The moment Nan Shu received the call, her vision went black, and she almost fainted.

Hmm, has she been kidnapped?

Yes, but it's her life!

"It's all my fault. I should have supervised my child's schooling. What the hell were those bastards trying to do?!"

The nanny was still crying on the other end of the phone. Nan Shu forced herself to calm down. "Stop crying. Have you called the police yet?"

"I've reported it, the police are coming to my house right away."
