Qiao’s mother became aware of his panic and replied as he stood up and headed to the kitchen.

Qiao’s father smiled and asked Qiao Xuan: "Isn't the new company good? Why don't you go to work again?"

Qiao Xuan knew that he was changing the topic, but she did not expose him. "Sheng Liang doesn't like it when I go to that place."

Qiao’s father frowned: "You haven't even married him and you're already obedient to him. If you were to get married in the future, he wouldn't cherish you."

"I also don't see you not cherishing my mother either." Qiao Xuan retorted.

Qiao’s father choked and sighed after a long while, "Silly girl, if you get angry in the future, don't come home and cry to me."

Qiao Xuan laughed: "If I didn't look for you, who would I look for? After all, you are my father."

When Qiao’s father heard this, his eyes actually reddened for a moment, and then repeated: "Silly girl."

After finishing his meal, Qiao Xuan returned to his room. Qiao’s mother was in a daze as she muttered to herself: "Tell me, why did Hua'er suddenly ask this question? Did she remember anything?"

"It shouldn't be. It's been so long. She was so young then, so it's normal for her to not remember. She might have just asked casually." The Qiao’s father comforted her.

Qiao’s mother was still frowning. "That child from back then is now in his thirties. Could it be that he found Hua Er?"

"How could that be? It's already been more than ten years, and Hua'er looks different from when she was young. Furthermore, we have moved here, so how could he possibly find her?" Qiao’s father patted Qiao’s mother on the shoulder and said, "This matter cannot be told to Hua'er. We must rot inside our stomachs, we cannot speak of it for the rest of our lives."

Qiao’s mother nodded: "I understand."

He hoped that Hua'er would never know about him, and never remember that nightmarish experience ever again.

Qiao Xuan didn't hear what her parents were saying, she once again took out the photo album and flipped through it one by one. The old photos were all printed with the time of the photo shoot, so she was sure that she couldn't find the picture of her when she was six years old.

If she had been torn apart or under special circumstances, she would have been able to understand. However, her parents' reactions just now were clearly different.

And from their attitude, she knew that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of them.

Although, even if she didn't know about it after so many years, she could still live a good life. People were indeed curious, especially when the beginning of this matter was mentioned by outsiders.

Qiao Xuan's fingers caressed the photographs, when suddenly her eyes lit up. She discovered that on the photo taken on her seventh birthday, it was summer, so she was wearing a flowery dress and there seemed to be some shadows on her wrist. She flipped through the photo again after she was seven years old, and the mark grew lighter and lighter, until she was eleven years old.

She suddenly felt her heart throb. She immediately went to find the magnifying glass and looked carefully to see what kind of mark it was. She unexpectedly discovered that it must have been caused by something that had been tied up for a long time!

This discovery did not scare Qiao Xuan. Could she have been abused by someone when she was six years old?

She was sure it was definitely not her parents, but why did they hide it, why didn't they call the police, why didn't they secretly help her seek justice, why did they even need to cover up for this person?

Qiao Xuan couldn't understand. She felt her mind was in a mess, and it was faintly painful, so she closed the album and put it back gently.

Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Since her parents didn't want her to know, they should be doing it for her own good. Why did she have to dig it out?

Inside Sheng Liang's villa, he was a little surprised to see Luo Jie's appearance. "Why are you here?" Wasn't he supposed to be preparing for the wedding?

Luo Jie scratched his head and laughed: "Young Master Liang has already been arranged for me, I don't have much to prepare. I heard that you asked Officer Ling to help you investigate Xilin Fu, since Officer Ling is so busy, I went to investigate."

"What did you find?" Sheng Liang leaned back on the sofa with the coffee cup in one hand.

Luo Jie shook his head: "Maybe I don't have the information you're looking for, I only know that Xilin Fu was abducted by a trafficker when he was young, and only after he turned twenty did he return with Xilin Family. However, he was pushed back by his other brothers and sisters, and many years later, he lived alone outside the country. However, there was a rumour that the scar on his face was hit by a heavy object in a huge fire, but it's impossible to find it. "

Sheng Liang slowly sipped his coffee. He did not comment at all on what Luo Jie had said.

"Young Master Liang," Seeing that he did not react, Luo Jie thought that he was not listening and called him to ask, "Do you still want to continue the investigation?"

"Don't worry about it." Even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn't let him, a bridegroom, run errands again.

Luo Jie saw that Sheng Liang had walked to the french windows and looked outside, but did not move for a long time. He knew that Sheng Liang did not want to be disturbed while he was thinking about things, so he silently closed the door and left.

Sheng Liang stood by the window with his hands in his pockets, but his gaze did not rest on the actual scene. A few memories of the past flashed past his eyes like footlights, one by one, and finally froze on the face of the hellish god.

Some people, even if they only met for a short period of time, would be able to affect their entire lives.

After a few days, it would be Luo Jie's and Qing Qing's wedding. Everything would be arranged by Sheng Liang, and the wedding would be as dreamy as a prince and princess' castle.

As the bridesmaid, Qiao Xuan was also a dutiful man. He was afraid that if he missed something, he would screw up the wedding, and by the time they finally finished holding the ceremony, Qiao Xuan would be so tired that he would collapse.

In a small resting room, Sheng Liang took off her high heels and squatted in front of her, gently massaging her feet.

Although her feet were really painful, Qiao Xuan didn't want others to see Sheng Liang doing this for her. She pulled him along and said, "Stop pressing, just wait a while."

However, Sheng Liang acted as if he did not hear it, and continued to massage her body, and raised his head to ask her: "What do you think about their wedding?"

Qiao Xuan revealed an envious expression and said: "Luo Jie is so good to Qing Qing."

"Am I not nice to you?" Sheng Liang frowned and asked.

"You … "It's fine." Qiao Xuan smiled. Following what the Qiao’s father said, she did not praise him, in case he was too proud.

Sheng Liang sat at the side and carried her onto his lap, kissing her cheeks: "When we get married, you will know how good I am."

Although the ceremony had ended, the banquet had only just started. Qiao Xuan was afraid that someone would suddenly come in, so he pushed Sheng Liang with a blushing face: "Quickly put me down, someone will see me."

"No one will come here." Sheng Liang said softly, his kiss still lingering on Qiao Xuan's neck.

Just as he finished his sentence, he heard someone say, "Looks like I've interrupted your plans."

When Qiao Xuan heard this quiet and hoarse voice, he suddenly raised his head and saw that Xilin Fu had already pushed open the unlocked door.
