Isabel watched his small back as he turned away, hesitated for a moment, then said, "I like the Little Xiaobai just as much, just a little less than Xiaobai, really."

Yes, he knew he couldn’t compare to his brother’s excellence. A sense of loneliness welled up in Zicong’s heart and showed on his little face.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a soft pair of lips suddenly touched his cheek.

Zicong was startled and turned around to see the girl shyly pulling her head back, including the little mouth that had just secretly kissed him.

Wa Zicong was driving and watching all of this unfold in the rearview mirror. Suddenly, he recalled the days of his own childhood, growing up with someone dear. Back then at school, life was so simple, just like these two little ones in the back seat. No thoughts, just like or dislike.

It’s clear how great it is to always be a child, without all those complicated thoughts.

His thoughts drifted far away, and when the light up ahead suddenly changed from green to red, he stepped on the brake. The car stopped, but the woman standing in front of it caused him to squint his eyes abruptly.

Mingli and Isabel in the back seat saw it too and shouted, "It’s that bad woman!"

Lin Yishan stood on the crosswalk, facing the three people in the car with a fierce expression.

Wa Zicong turned the steering wheel and drove past her, running the red light. However, several black cars immediately surrounded his vehicle, trapping it in the middle and unable to move.

The other vehicles quickly drove away upon seeing this.

Zicong’s little head went blank at the sudden situation, completely at a loss.

Isabel’s expression was completely different, going from scared to overjoyed, clutching his small hand and excitedly shouting, "Little Xiaobai, it’s my dad, my dad is here to save us."

A tall foreigner with blond hair, wearing sunglasses, was seen stepping out of a luxurious black sedan.

Lin Yishan walked straight to the foreigner and said, "As per our agreement, Robbie, you can’t harm the man driving; he actually protected your daughter."

"I only saw him trying to drive away with my daughter," the foreigner said.

"No, he just didn’t know that you are the girl’s father. I can vouch for this with my life because I didn’t have time to tell him."

"OK." Robbie compromised, his eyes behind the sunglasses narrowing, then looking at the little boy in the back seat, asking, "And this one?"

"Take him along as well, he’ll be useful, trust me," Lin Yishan said with a smirk on her lips.

Wa Zicong on the car quickly undid his seatbelt and saw the men in black approaching, opening his car door, and attempting to take the two children out. He hurriedly followed them out of the car, but when faced with the men in black, his lips trembled, clearly unsure of what to do. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Very quickly, the men in black carried both children into one of the black cars. As Zicong left, he turned back to look at him. That little look in his eyes, reminiscent of her, tightened Wa Zicong’s heart, he reached out a fingertip, only to be pressed down by the approaching Lin Yishan.

Lin Yishan stood in front of him, speaking in a cold voice, "Deep down you know, everything between you and her has long been over. That’s not your son, he’s that man’s son. You want to take down the Zhang family, she won’t help you, but I will."

Wa Zicong’s raised hand slowly fell back down.

The black motorcade drove away. The sound of police cars approached from afar as Lin Yishan pushed him into the car, quickly leaving that place full of trouble.

In the morning, when Lingxin got up, naturally, he reached out to the side. It was empty beside him. Since they were children, the twin brothers had always slept together. Sleeping with Zicong had become a habit. One day, suddenly, Zicong wasn’t lying next to him, and reaching out felt strange.
