Gao Wen curiously asked about the “sister” that Xiao Zhi had mentioned.

Xiao Zhi thought about it carefully and said, “Sister Bai Xue was washing the dishes in the shop. A sister came to look for her. Sister Bai Xue is very afraid.”

“And then?” Gao Wen looked in the direction of the kitchen and saw that the couple was still busy. She continued to ask curiously.

Xiao Zhi lowered his eyes in disappointment and said, “Then Sister was taken away. Mom said that those people were so fierce and didn’t let Xiao Zhi speak nonsense.”

A child actually knew how sad it was to part.

Gao Wen found it funny. It was rare for her to be willing to coax a child.

She chuckled and patted Xiao Zhi’s fluffy hair. She comforted him gently. “That sister will miss Xiao Zhi very much. She will definitely come back again.”

Xiao Zhi suddenly looked up and stared at Gao Wen with a burning gaze. “Sister, I believe you. Xiao Zhi will wait for her to come back!”

The child was innocent and easy to understand. Even Gao Wen, who had never liked to accommodate, could not help but soften her heart for him.

Touching the top of Xiao Zhi’s head, Gao Wen thought to herself that she had probably given this child all her patience. She might have long treated him as her younger brother in her heart.

As they spoke, the couple finally finished cooking and walked out of the kitchen with a smile. “Miss Gao, try it and see if it suits your taste. If there’s anything you don’t like, I’ll adjust it for you.”

Gao Wen looked at the dishes on the dining table in front of her and immediately felt good. She did not stick to the etiquette at home and picked up her chopsticks to eat like the other guests in the dining room.

Gao Wen didn’t often have time to visit Xiao Zhi, but as long as she was free, she would always get the chauffeur to take a detour to this medium-sized cafeteria to eat delicious food.

This was until the explosion that shook the entire city happened.

That winter was too cold. It was so cold that even though she was wearing the warmest fur coat, Gao Wen was still trembling from the cold.

She stood in the vast ruins, helpless and unable to find her direction.

The bodyguard beside her tried to persuade her to go home, but Gao Wen turned a deaf ear. Her blank eyes carefully distinguished the familiar streets of the past, insisting on finding that small figure.

The noisy event location was filled with heart-wrenching cries.

Gao Wen was afraid when she heard those cries, but even though her body was trembling so much that she almost could not stand steadily, she still ran around stubbornly until she saw Xiao Zhi, who was covered in dirt, outside a temporary tent set up for the refugees.

He was even dirtier than the first time they met. His clothes were tattered, but Gao Wen did not despise him at all. She almost cried tears of joy when she saw Xiao Zhi again. She hugged the fragile little boy who looked like he would break at any moment.

The child looked at her in a daze. There were still dried tears on her face.

He seemed to be frightened and took a long time to recover. However, his black eyes were no longer bright.

“Sister, you’re crying.” Xiao Zhi gently raised his arm to touch her cheek and wiped her tears.

Gao Wen hugged him tightly and looked around anxiously. “Xiao Zhi, where are your parents?”

“Dad, Mom…” Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment before his eyes filled with tears. “Sister, Mom isn’t out yet. I want Mom! I want Mom and Dad!”

“Alright, alright, alright. Don’t cry. I’ll look for them for you now!” Gao Wen stood up and let Xiao Zhi lean on her. With a cold expression, she instructed her bodyguards to go over and save her.

The bodyguards had been instructed by their boss to stay close to Gao Wen and did not dare to act rashly.

The leading bodyguard persuaded her with a troubled expression, “Miss, there are already many rescuers at the event location. It’s still very dangerous here and there’s the possibility of a second explosion at any time. Since you’ve already found him, why don’t you return to the car with us to hide first? We’ll leave this place to the professionals.”

Gao Wen also knew that what he said was the best solution. She nodded and was about to leave with Xiao Zhi.

Unexpectedly, this child understood the meaning of their words. Xiao Zhi, who was originally obedient, suddenly resisted violently.

He struggled out of Gao Wen’s arms and ran to the other side to glare at her with fear. No matter what she said, he refused to leave with her.

At that moment, Gao Wen seemed to see the child in front of the ambulance who refused to get into the car with her because of his mother.

Gao Wen’s heart suddenly ached as she looked at the ruins in front of her.

She frowned and closed her eyes. She barely managed to overcome the sadness that had almost annihilated her in her chest. She said coldly, “We have to save them. I’m not going anywhere.”

“Miss!” Hearing her say this, the bodyguards persuaded worriedly.

However, Gao Wen had already made up her mind and would not be easily persuaded.

They had no choice but to try their best to find the person they wanted to save as soon as possible so that Miss could go back with them without worry.

However, at this moment, all of them knew very well that the explosion was so serious that the two people who were still missing had almost no chance of survival..
