Chapter 295

Xin’er

Although Leng Jun Yu thought his son was a little demon who specialized in stealing his woman, he was devastated when he found out Xuan’er was missing .

“What did you say? Xuan’er is missing?” he exclaimed .

Last night, he had seven rounds but he could never get enough of his sweet beauty . He wanted more!

So, in order to prevent the little demon from messing with his plans, Leng Jun Yu ordered Xue Li to take the little demon out .

Who would’ve thought that Xue Li would lose the child?

Le Yao Yao nearly lost consciousness . Leng Jun Yu held onto his weak sweetheart’s body and turned to the anxious Xue Li . “What happened? How could Xuan’er end up missing?” he roared .

Xue Li shrank her body timidly . “Earlier, I was out with young master . Since there were a lot of people on the streets, I placed him in front of me . Later on, young master said he wanted a snack, so I went to buy it for him . Yet, in a blink of an eye, young master had vanished next to me . I searched multiple times but I couldn’t find him . Wuwu . I’m sorry, Prince Rui . This servant deserves to be punished!” Xue Li broke down in tears .

She wasn’t afraid to be punished . Rather, she was truly concerned for her young master . After all, she had taken care of him since he was born . Although she was a servant, she treated her young master as if he was her biological child .

“This is not the time to self blame . Hurry and gather all the servants to find Xuan’er!” Leng Jun Yu commanded . The whole residence took action .

The whole residence was going nuts over the missing Xuan’er . Yet, the little guy had no idea . Instead, he felt as free as a bird . He was roaming down the streets with pride .

After all, since he had grown up in the imperial household, he was always followed by a bunch of people wherever he went .

He thought it was super annoying . Now that he could get rid of everyone behind him, Leng Yi Xuan felt very satisfied . He had no idea that the world was a dangerous place and that his nobility aura was very apparent . Cute children like him were the ideal types that kidnappers wanted .

Currently, all Leng Yi Xuan wanted to do was play . He figured his family will find him soon . So, he must have as much fun as possible now!

The Capital had countless of stores and restaurants he had never seen before . Although this wasn’t the first time he had been on the streets of the Capital, everything was still fascinating to him .

Since he was so tiny, the servants missed him in the crowd .

By the time Xuan’er was done having fun, it was already sunset . Suddenly, he was afraid .  Why hasn’t his family found him yet? After walking around for a day, he was starving . His stomach continuously made *gu lu lu* sounds .

Leng Yi Xuan held onto his flat tummy and nervously gazed around his surroundings . He wasn’t familiar with the streets . He didn’t recognize anyone here .

“Wuwu, mommy, Auntie Ping, Auntie Li, where are you?” cried Leng Yi Xuan . By now, he was too exhausted to walk anymore .

So, he crouched down in front of a house and wrapped his arms around his knees and started to sob .

Currently, Leng Yi Xuan felt very abandoned .

After crying for a long time, he suddenly heard a baby voice . “Older brother, why are you crying?”

The baby voice caused Leng Yi Xuan to stop crying and look up . He noticed a little girl standing next to him . The little girl was clearly younger than him . In addition, she was very cute .

In the past, his mother, Auntie Ping and Auntie Li had always said he was the cutest child in the whole wide world . At the time, he believed them . But when Xuan’er saw this little girl, he realized that there was actually a child that was cuter than him!

The little girl was wearing a pink dress . The material appeared to be very rough, but the pink colour was very suitable on her .

It made her skin look like a smooth peeled hard-boiled egg . Leng Yi Xuan was tempted to touch it .

The little girl had long hair that was neatly tied in two pigtails . It made her face appear round like a dumpling . It was so adorable .

But what attracted him the most were her big, oval eyes . When Leng Yi Xuan looked into her eyes, he felt as if he could see autumn in them . They were so clear, and bright . It was as if they were a gleaming reflection of a lake .

While Leng Yi Xuan was observing the little girl, the little girl was also observing him . Then, the little girl took out a handkerchief and began to gently wipe his tears away .

At the same time, she tried to comfort him with her marshmallow voice . “Big brother, please don’t cry . Here, Xin’er will give you a candy!”

Leng Yi Xuan thought it was kind of funny how the little girl sounded like an adult when she was clearly younger than him . Gradually, he stopped crying . He felt like a loser when he cried in front of someone younger .

So, Leng Yi Xuan crinkled his nose and tried to suppress his sadness . But regardless, his stomach was still rumbling . The little girl could hear it and started to giggle . She handed the candy to him and smiled . “Big brother, eat this! You are hungry, aren’t you?”

Leng Yi Xuan didn’t think too much of it . Because, he was truly starving .

In the past, whenever he was hungry, he only had to tell the servants and everything would be delivered to him . He could eat whatever he wanted .

Back then, he thought that was normal . But after going out with his mommy, he realized that food required money . Sadly, he didn’t have any money on him . Usually, his mommy, Auntie Ping or Auntie Li would pay for all his treats .

Now that he was broke and starving, Leng Yi Xuan couldn’t resist the lure of the candy . He gulped down his saliva and nearly drooled over the candy . However, he still hesitated . “If I eat it, you won’t have it anymore . ”

Ever since he was little, his mother told him to be generous to younger children . The little girl was definitely younger than him, so he should treat her like a little sister .

The little girl took out another candy from her pocket . “Hehe, I have another one! We can both have one candy each!”

Hearing this, Leng Yi Xuan finally reach out his hand to take the candy . When he put the candy in his mouth, he didn’t think it was that good . But, it was still sweet . However, the sweetness was coming from his heart . Leng Yi Xuan beamed and smiled . “So sweet!”

(TL: They have no blood relationship . In Chinese, we always address people like they’re family even if we don’t know them . )

The little girl also smiled and revealed a toothy grin . Then, she devoured her candy .

The two of them sat down next to each other and began to chat . Leng Yi Xuan was still waiting for his family to find him . But after a long time, no one familiar could be seen .

Leng Yi Xuan couldn’t help but worry . But because he had the little girl with him, he didn’t feel lonely .

Eventually, Leng Yi Xuan also asked Xin’er out of curiosity . “Xin’er, it’s getting late . How come your parents still haven’t searched for you?”

“My daddy went out to do business . He only comes back once every few months . My mommy goes out to help other people on a daily basis . She comes back very late at night . By the time she’s back, I’m usually asleep . ”

“Ohhhh, your parents are really busy!? So do you always play alone?”

“Yes . ”

Hearing this, Leng Yi Xuan felt like he was very lucky . Although his daddy tries to steal his mommy, at least he was never lonely . He was always surrounded with people to play with him .

Suddenly, Xin’er lit up . “Older brother, can you come visit and play with Xin’er regularly? Xin’er is very lonely and has no friends . ” Xin’er looked so pitiful . Her eyes were watery and Leng Yi Xuan thought she looked like a puppy .

So, without thinking, Leng Yi Xuan immediately nodded and agreed .

“Alright, when I have time, I’ll come play with you! So, Xin’er, you have a friend now!”

“You’re so awesome, older brother!” Xin’er smiled .

By now, the sky was all dark . The lanterns were up and there were very few people left on the streets . The temperature had dropped drastically since the afternoon .

Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning and a terrifying sound of thunder . Xin’er scrunched her brows and fearfully gazed at Leng Yi Xuan .

“Older brother, it’s about to rain! Where is your family?”

“Ummm, I don’t know!?”

“Do you know where you live? Tell me and maybe I can take you home . ”

“Umm… . uhhh… . ” Leng Yi Xuan didn’t know where he lived . He just knew he had moved from the ancient kingdom of Khotan to this place . However, the interior was relatively the same .

So, Leng Yi Xuan explained, “I live in a beautiful place with lots of rooms and many servants… . ”

Hearing this, Xin’er shook her head and apologized . “Sorry, big brother! I don’t know where you live . But it sounds like a place that you would only see in Heaven?”

“Big brother, why don’t you come to my house first? It’s getting late . Perhaps your family will come pick you up tomorrow!?”

“I guess…” Leng Yi Xuan nodded and followed Xin’er to the direction of her house .
