WARNING! Tsundere President

“Brother Ting…” Huo Li kneeled down the first moment he entered the office as regretfully he said, “It’s my fault…”

It’s my fault. It’s my incapability for not finding Brother Ting’s princess. I am also the one who assigned these two bodyguards. I should have watched her myself.

I have made a mistake. I shouldn’t have assigned most of my men to the war between Brother Ting and that Xiang Jinxi, leaving these two incompetent men with the baby. 

“No…Huo Li,” said Huo Yunting, rubbing his forehead, “It’s on me.”

I took it too easy with Xiang Jinxi. I once thought I had everything in my hand. Xiang Jinxi was too occupied with me while there’s Huo Chen at Eric’s place. 

I was careless. Too careless… 

“And this time, I’m the real loser.” Huo Yunting’s palm shook holding his forehead.

A total loser. 

If I knew I would lose my daughter in the end, I would have just spared Xiang Jinxi for the moment. I could at least ask about my daughter’s whereabouts.

“…” Huo Li smiled wryly.

Lu Zhaoyang was overhearing their conversation from outside through the door. Hope extinguished in her like her will to live. Gradually she felt her strength ebbed away from her body as she collapsed against the door, sliding down, her head fell to her abdomen as tears rolled off her cheeks.

“Ran Ran…”

Ran Ran…my girl…my baby…gone…

She doesn’t even know how to talk…she hasn’t even recognized anyone… 

She hasn’t even called me ‘mommy’. 

Why would this happen to our baby girl? Why won’t it happen to me?

I’m the one who started all this. I should be the one, not her.

God, why take her, not me? 

The door opened suddenly as Huo Yunting patted her back gently. He felt her pain but he was still a bit more rational.

“Don’t cry, baby. Don’t worry. Having heard no news is also a form of good news, showing that she’s still alive and we will get to her one day as soon as she’s alive.”

Lu Zhaoyang was not as optimistic as her man, she lifted her watery eyes, “Huo Yunting, are we going to lose her forever?” She pulled her sleeves like a baby girl who lost her beloved, begging for answers, “Are we going to not see her…ever again?” Her last syllable cracked in misery.

“It won’t happen,” whispered Huo Yunting as he caressed her face, feeling as if his heart was dug out from his chest. The agony choked him. He took her into his embrace, “Don’t worry. She will come back to us no matter how far. Promise.”

Lu Zhaoyang, towards his positive remark, shook her head vigorously in denial however.

If she’s there, they would have already found her days ago. 

It’s been so long they don’t even know who did it. 

Where’s mommy’s baby…Where are you? Where are you, Ran Ran? 

“Brother Ting, we seem to have missed out on someone. Who was it again…” Huo Li scratched his head as he thought through the relationship tree with Xiang Jinxi, “Right!” His eyes lustred with will, “That Qiu Jin. That girl who got very close with Xiang Jinxi. Nobody else could have known the situation better than her! We will look for her! Surely she will have something!”

“Right!” Huo Yunting’s soulless eyes no longer looked discolored, “Let’s go now!”

“I’m going too!” Said Zhaoyang with a bit of strength mustered again.

Huo Yunting and Lu Zhaoyang both exchanged a look. He could see the tenacity in her as he grabbed her hand and ran towards their Rolls-Royce that sped through the night like a dark horse galloping to the other end of the world.

They got to the military hospital and right at the entrance they ran into Huo Chen.

“Chen!” Shouted Zhaoyang as she rubbed her swollen eyes while sniffling, “Where are you going?”

“Where’s Qiu Jin?”

The question fell upon the expressionless man who looked at Lu Zhaoyang once before turning to speak with Huo Yunting, “I know what you guys are up to but I have already interrogated her countless times. She just won’t spit it apart from confirming Xiang Jinxi’s death, no matter what I do.”
