Chapter 1016: Xunxun Has Been Found

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Yan Huan took off her outerwear and covered Xunxun with it. She was wearing a thin sweater underneath. However, Xunxun was not feeling chilly anymore, her creased brows soothed and she continued her slumber whilst grasping onto her mother’s shirt.

Yan Huan rang the doorbell and quickly hid in a corner.

Not long after, the door creaked open and the housekeeper walked out.

Who rang the doorbell? When the housekeeper opened the door, she had a strange feeling in her heart. There was no one out here, so who rang it? Was it a prank?

Just as she was about to shut the door, she noticed the thing that was placed on the floor.

No, it was not a ‘thing’.

It was a child, a little kid wrapped up in a coat.

Quickly, she squatted down and picked up the child together with the clothes she was wrapped in. She was utterly shocked when she took a glimpse of the child’s face and rapidly bolted in, closing the door behind her.

Only then did Yan Huan come out from the bushes. At that moment, she was covered in grass. She bit on her lip once more, then turned around and walked away without looking back.

Meanwhile, within the house, the housekeeper exclaimed, “Master! Madam! Xunxun has been found! Xunxun has been found!”

“What?” Ye Shuyun jolted up, her fingers clenched onto Lu Jin’s arm. He winced but he did not push her hand away.

At that very instant, his reaction was comparable to Ye Shuyun’s, feeling both thrilled yet terrified.

“Master, madam, Xunxun is back.”

The housekeeper rushed toward their direction and showed them the child in her arms.

“It is Xunxun, it is Xunxun!” Ye Shuyun could not help but cry out. Tears rolled down her cheeks as her heart throbbed with pain.

She carefully took her granddaughter from the housekeeper’s arms. It really was her Little Xunxun. She would never be mistaken by that delicate little face of hers. Not to mention the fact that she would hold onto her day and night, so how could she forget her own granddaughter?

Lu Jin gently caressed Xunxun’s little face. She was fine and had no injuries. The little one slept soundly up until now.

“Let me call Yibin over.”

Lu Jin asked Ye Shuyun to put Xunxun down first. He needed to call He Yibin and also to notify Lu Yi as well, letting him know that he could stop his search for Xunxun as she was back safe and sound.

“Okay, I know what to do. I will return this instant.”

Lu Yi stood up, his repressed emotions and desolation slowly fading away.

“What is it?” Lei Qingyi sensed it too.

“Xunxun has been found.” Lu Yi put down his phone and got ready to head back.

“She has been found?” Lei Qingyi looked at him wide-eyed. She has been found? How and where?

“Someone left her at my doorstep.” Lu Yi had already waltzed out the door, leaving Lei Qingyi stunned behind him.

Left at the doorstep?

Did she just return to the owner what she had picked up?

Correction. Did she just return to the owner the child she had picked up?

“Wait for me!” Lei Qingyi finally came to his senses and hurriedly followed behind him.

By the time Lu Yi arrived home, He Yibin had also reached.

Xunxun was sleeping peacefully in between her brothers inside the nursery room, her face puffy and rosy. Nothing had happened to her. There were no signs of injuries anywhere, not even a single discomfort. If there was anywhere she felt uncomfortable, surely she would wail and cry for papa and would not be sleeping so soundly.

He Yibin placed his hand on Xunxun’s little belly, watching it growl under his palm.

“Don’t worry, everything is fine,” he said as he stood up. Even he himself let out a sigh of relief, not to mention the Lu family. Out of all the people that Lu Yi had brought Xunxun to see, he was the one who had spent the most time with her. He had been watching her grow ever since she was little and he treated her as if she was his own daughter.

“She is unharmed, and she has already eaten too.” He Yibin turned back to Xunxun again and reached out to caress her tiny forehead. Everything would be fine now that she was back. He was almost scared to death, let alone if it was his loved ones. If anything were to happen to her, there was no guarantee that Old Master Lu could make the cut.

They had not told Old Master Lu about Xunxun being missing when she was gone for the past 12 hours. They were afraid that he could not take the news at such an old age. If they were to break the news, they might lose both of them at the same time.

Lu Yi sat down and held his daughter’s little hands. Her face was still puffy and her lips pouty. As though having a sweet dream, a smile was plastered on her tiny face.

Watching her smile, he too, had a grin on his face. The chilly aura he emitted which was about to turn colder became warm instantaneously.

“Qingyi, go check on the surveillance.”

Lu Yi said to Lei Qingyi. Xunxun was lost and was brought back again as though it was a play gone wrong. If it was really so, the lady who brought Xunxun back must have known who Xunxun was and had most probably followed her for a long period of time. Even though she brought Xunxun back safely, there was no guarantee that these incidents would not happen again. In order to put an end to any danger that might occur, they must find out the identity of the lady.

“Okay, I got it.”

Lei Qingyi had this thought in his mind as well. Though he wanted to hug Xunxun dearly, he was currently among the Lu family. Right now, he was the extra amongst them so he might as well investigate the lady with a mask.

It was not surprising that Lu Yi would have such a thought. Something was fishy. There must be a reason behind all this. None of them would be at ease, not until the danger was rooted out.

All this while, Xunxun was still in her deep slumber. She did not wake up even for a single bit. Just as what He Yibin had said, Xunxun was totally fine and stuffed. If it were not so, she would be crying for food now and not sleep so sweetly.

Ye Shuyun, Lu Jin and two of their housekeepers were watching over her. Since he did not have much to work on, he stood up and headed to where Lei Qingyi was to check on his investigation progress.

“Take a look at this.”

Lei Qingyi pointed at the screen. It was the high definition surveillance he had personally installed not long ago. If it was not for it, it would have been impossible for them to have such a high definition footage.

“This was the woman.”

Every single image was displayed clearly through the monitor. The lady was dressed in loose clothes and held Xunxun in her arms. She took off her coat and covered Xunxun up then left her at the doorstep, while she herself was left with a thin sweater. Seeing a sweater that thin, honestly, even Lei Qingyi could feel the cold that she was feeling.

The lady left after dropping off the child. All the time they had been watching her frightfully lean figure, coupled with a huge mask covering up half of her face, just like what that trafficker had mentioned earlier.
