Only married but not in love: Ex-wife, see you tonight!

Chapter 371 Protection
The voice was from the person beside him, and it contained both doubts and worries. Shi Yan was stunned for a moment before subconsciously following him, and saw a child standing not far away with his back to them.

In his impression, Xiao Douding was raised by Ruan Anxi and was chubby. Although he was not so exaggerated, most of the time he wore cute little skirts, so he saw the little boy in the corner who was wrapped in a worn-out men's down jacket that was obviously a few sizes bigger. The small figure couldn't be matched with the child in memory no matter what.

But Ruan Anxi obviously didn't care whether he believed him or not, after yelling, she seemed to have confirmed something, and walked towards the child without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the child didn't even look at them. After staying there for a while, he threw the plastic bucket in his hand and ran into the yard.

As if she didn't expect the child to react so strongly, Ruan Anxi was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was about to chase over there in a hurry. Naturally, Shi Yan couldn't let her run like this, so he hurriedly pulled her back: "Did you see clearly? Then The child looks very thin, not like Beckham."

"It must be her!" Ruan Anxi hurriedly broke away from Shi Yan and chased over there. After realizing that he would not let go, she turned her head and begged, "It must be Xiaobei. I finally found her. Don't stop me, okay?"

Shi Yan could hear the anxiety in her words, but still couldn't believe it: "If that's really Xiaobei, why did you run away when you told her?"

Ruan Anxi obviously didn't know the reason, she was taken aback by this question, and then said anxiously: "We'll find out if we ask, since they're all here anyway, aren't they?"

That's true, Shi Yan just thought that he might have found the wrong person, but he forgot that the two of them had found the right place now, no matter whether it was the one just now, they would never go wrong if they searched one by one.

But Ruan Anxi's body was still the key point, Shi Yan took advantage of his patience and hurriedly told him, "Go slowly and don't worry", and then followed him into the courtyard.

The two soon met their subordinates who were still looking for someone, and went directly across the small buildings and returned to the bungalow they had just left. Before they could get close, they saw the door was opened from the inside, and then the dean left come out.

After seeing them, the dean quickly showed a smile: "Mr. Shi, you are here. This child didn't know what to do just now. He just came back."

When he just came back, he was right about the clues they saw just now, coupled with the familiar house, Shi Yan finally began to believe that the child might really be Xiao Bei.

Ruan Anxi didn't care about greeting the dean at all, and rushed into the room directly, and saw a small figure nestled in the corner with her back facing them.

Although she was wrapped in a big and fat down jacket, Ruan Anxi still felt that the back was thin and thin, and now she was not as anxious as she was at the beginning. She took a lot of effort to hold back her tears, and stepped forward lightly: " Xiaobei? It's you, isn't it? Mom came to pick you up and go home?"

It's just that the expected scene of Xiao Bei jumping into her arms after hearing the voice didn't appear. Ruan Anxi walked in and found that the back was trembling, as if she was some kind of monster.

She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the joy and heartache of finally seeing Beckham suppressed all her thoughts. She walked up to the side of the child, looked at the familiar side face and finally put away all the anxiety, tears Can't stop anymore: "Xiao Bei, what's wrong with you? Mom finally found you, shall we go home? Let's go home..."

While she was talking, she stretched out her hand to hug the child, but the child froze in her arms for a while, then suddenly struggled away, turned around and was about to run out.

Shi Yan didn't go forward because he didn't want to disturb the reunion of the mother and daughter. Who would have thought that there would be such an accident, and when he saw this, he subconsciously stopped him, only then did he realize why he admitted his mistake just now.

Because the current Beckham is far from the well-behaved and cute look in his impression, the round face is gone, and even the skin is yellow and rough. In just two months, the round and lovely little princess was ruined Became like this!

The anger in his heart rushed to the peak in an instant. This was the result of his people coming here to raise him well for three days. What kind of misfortune did this child become three days ago?

He glanced at the dean next to him like a knife, and seeing the latter's innocent face, he became even more angry: "Your courtyard is very good at raising people, but after two months, I dare not recognize this child anymore!"

Unexpectedly, the dean was not frightened when he heard the words, he just smiled and said: "This child was skinny when he first arrived, if he is not like the child you are looking for...you must have found the wrong person, right?"

"This is my baby!"

Ruan Anxi's face was full of nervousness, as if she was afraid that Shi Yan would listen to the other party's words, and there was already begging in her voice: "This is Xiaobei, can you let me take her away?"

The dean stopped doing it: "If this is really your child, of course you can take it away, but if not, you have to go through the adoption procedures. Our hospital is very responsible, and you must not let you take the child away casually."

Shi Yan's aura had dissipated, he didn't dare to look at the man, so he simply looked at the child and Ruan Anxi: "If the child doesn't want to go back with you, it wouldn't be interesting for you to take him away by force, wouldn't it?"

Ruan Anxi was anxious and panicked for a moment, but Shi Yan heard something strange in his words.

From the moment they entered the door just now, the dean said that the child would "voluntarily" leave with them before releasing him. Now they found Xiao Bei, but the child was unwilling to go with them...

A few thoughts flashed through his mind, Shi Yan looked at the dean with colder eyes, but in the end he didn't talk to him again, instead he suppressed the anger in his heart, slowed down his voice and spoke to the child: " Baby, do you remember me?"

The child's eyes fell on his face for a second, but he didn't speak.

He didn't care, and just continued: "You know how powerful Dad is, right? You don't have to believe anything this man told you, Dad can protect you, as long as you leave here with Dad, you don't have to be afraid in the future Got it, do you understand?"

He had never called himself "Daddy" in front of Beckham before, but this time he chose this intimate name in order to gain the child's trust.

The dean's composure finally cracked, and Xiao Bei's next words made his complexion change even more.

The child stared at Shi Yan again for a few seconds, and finally said, "Can you... protect Mommy?"

I don't know if it's because I haven't spoken for a long time or what, the child's voice is a little hoarse, but the original tone can still be heard.

None of them expected that the child's first words would be this, and Ruan Anxi next to him couldn't help but burst into tears. It took Shi Yan a while to suppress the soreness in his nasal cavity, and nodded heavily to promise: "Yes, in the future, Xiaobei and My mother is protected by me, so I don’t have to be afraid anymore.”

The child glanced at the dean again, and as soon as his eyes touched his face, he turned away as if stung by a poisonous insect, and fell right on the face of Ruan Anxi next to him.

The latter tried his best to suppress his voice and put on an ugly smile: "Mom will protect you too, Xiaobei, don't be afraid."

At this point, the child's grievances and fears that had been suppressed in his heart finally came out, and he cried and threw himself into Ruan Anxi's arms: "Mommy, Xiaobei misses... misses you, wants to go home..."

The child was crying so hard that he was out of breath, Shi Yan looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other and finally felt relieved a little, but he didn't forget what was wrong with the child just now.

While persuading people to a warm place next to the stove, he said to his subordinates who were waiting at the side: "Call everyone outside, I think Mr. Dean should be willing to talk about what Xiao Bei said just now. "

It was getting late, and the group lived directly in the orphanage—of course not the empty and dark bungalow in front of them, but went to the place where the children were originally placed in those small buildings.

But that being said, Shi Yan couldn't find time to interrogate him after controlling the dean, so he could only lock him in another room and take care of Xiaobei first.

The child seemed to be frightened by this kidnapping. Before, he was so cheerful, loved to laugh and was not afraid of strangers, but now he only recognizes Ruan Anxi and Shi Yan, and will shrink into Ruan Anxi's arms when others get close.

No wonder Lin Huan's people couldn't take the child away at the beginning, the child's wariness of strangers was already abnormally high, and the shadow left by her being tied up this time didn't know when it would be dispelled.

Fortunately, there seemed to be a telepathic connection between Ruan Anxi and the child, so she took him directly to the garden to find someone, otherwise, with the child's current vigilance, I don't know how much time I would have wasted.

When the child calmed down a bit, Shi Yan finally took the opportunity to ask what he had always suspected: "Xiao Bei, tell Dad, why did you avoid us in the first place?"

The child was already a little sleepy, but when he heard this sentence, he was clever and subconsciously went to look at the door.

Ruan Anxi couldn't bear the child's nervousness, but wanted to know the reason for Xiao Bei's abnormality, and knew that the fear in the child's heart needed to be completely eradicated now, so she softly comforted her: "Mom and Dad are here, Xiao Bei can just say what he knows. Don't be afraid."

After she lightly stroked his back and persuaded him a few words, the tension on the child's face finally eased a little, and then he spoke out all the threats the dean had made a few days ago.

Shi Yan's complexion was getting worse and worse, but Xiao Bei hadn't finished speaking: "I ran back to the house just now, and when I was about to close the door, the dean followed in again, saying that if I don't want to be locked in a small dark room, I have to be obedient, otherwise Mommy will also be..."

The child's face became paler and paler, and at the end his voice was trembling uncontrollably, Ruan Anxi couldn't bear it: "Don't say it, the dean lied to you, mom won't be caught by him, besides, dad is protecting us, Yes or no?"

Realizing that Xiao Douding was looking at him, Shi Yan quickly put on a smiling face: "Yes, don't be afraid."

He wanted to ask more about the evidence that Xiao Bei was sold here, but seeing the child's pale face, he swallowed all the questions back.
