Chapter 49: Leaving Home

“Be good! The more money we have, the better things will be. Mommy has already agreed to help…”

Qiu Tong nearly blurted out the truth. But disappointment flashed across Qiu Xingyuan’s eyes as he looked at her. He stubbornly pursed his lips and turned away, not saying anything else.

Holding Little Yu’s hand, Qiu Xingqiao saw Qiu Tong to the door. His eyes were filled with reluctance.

Qiu Tong’s eyes were gentle as she hugged the two kids and kissed their cheeks with a smile.

She looked up and saw Qiu Xingyuan standing at the door with a cold expression, as if he did not want to talk to her at all. She guessed that he might be angry, but she could not figure out what was going on in his little head.

Qiu Tong sighed helplessly and said, “Take care of your brother and sister for Mommy.”

Qiu Xingyuan’s little face was all scrunched up, and his shoulders were stiff as he spat out a few words, “Do I still need you to tell me that?”

Qiu Tong stood up. Carrying a backpack full of clothes, she hurried towards the main entrance.

“Goodbye, Mommy! Come back soon!”

A luxury car was parked at the entrance of the courtyard. Qiu Tong entered and Little Yu ran down the steps with tears in her eyes. She chased after the car and shouted twice.

“Mommy… Mommy!”

When Jin Yang heard the voice, he turned his head with a strange expression. He seemed to be scanning the area with his mind, but all he saw was an empty district.

He looked away and fixed his gaze on Qiu Tong fiddling with a few peculiar-looking wrist guards, knee guards, and self-made weapons. “You have very few things…”

In his impression, women always carried countless luggage when they traveled.

Qiu Tong misunderstood his question. She pressed down on the mechanism on her wrist guard, revealing a few sharp barbs. She raised her hand and said softly, “Weapons need to be simple but refined. The important thing is that it can save your life. Do you guys like to carry weights when carrying out missions?”

Jin Yang rubbed his temples and simply shook his head in silence.

Qiu Tong shrugged. After just half an hour, she started to miss the three children at home…

At home, the children hung their heads.

Holding a milk bottle, Qiu Xingyu ran to Qiu Xingyuan’s side. She tugged at the corner of his clothes. “Elder Brother, why are you unhappy? Do you miss Mommy?”

“Little Yu misses Mommy too. When will she be back?”

She was not coming back!

Qiu Xingyuan thought silently in his heart, but he could not bear to tell Qiu Xingyu that their mother had abandoned them again.

Ever since the fall of the Qiu family, their relatives had cut off all contact with them and were too lazy to bother with them. They would avoid them even if they met them on the streets.

But Qiu Tong said she was going to borrow money from them?

She must have been lying!

Perhaps Qiu Tong had found a new boyfriend and the other party was unwilling to accept her children, so she chose to abandon them!

Qiu Xingyuan secretly clenched his fists and swore that he would take good care of his younger siblings!

In the villa, Jin Yang accompanied Qiu Tong to walk around and familiarize herself with the environment.

Butler Gao De rushed over and dragged Shao An into a storage room. Seeing that no one was following them, he asked in a low voice.

“Sir actually brought a woman back?”

Shao An nodded.

Gao De muttered in disbelief, “Impossible!”

Shao An pursed his lips and reminded him, “I’m also very surprised, but tell all the servants in the villa that she is his personal bodyguard. Don’t go around spreading gossip!”

Gao De responded perfunctorily, his thoughts involuntarily drifting back to some years ago. He furrowed his brow.

Jin Yang once had a lover whom he loved deeply. It had been an extremely secretive matter, so secretive that only he knew about it…

But seven years ago, on a stormy night, Jin Yang dragged his heavily injured body back to the villa. He had a high fever and was unconscious for a few days. When he finally woke up, he never mentioned her again.

Gao De had tried several times to probe, but Jin Yang’s reaction was as if he had completely forgotten that there was a lover in his life. He was now only obsessed with government affairs…

All these years, there had been countless women who had tried to climb into Jin Yang’s bed, but he had never gotten close to any of them.

Gao De even suspected that he had a psychological problem, but now… he actually brought a woman back?

Would she be an exception?

Gao De was immersed in his memories when he was awakened by a deep voice…

“Butler Gao.”

“This is Qiu Tong.”

Jin Yang and Qiu Tong had returned and he offered a simple introduction.

Qiu Tong nodded as she surveyed the luxurious interior of the villa. She clicked her tongue in admiration. He was indeed rich!

Gao De sized up Qiu Tong and unexpectedly discovered that she was allowed to stand within Jin Yang’s personal space!

Gao De met Qiu Tong’s probing gaze and smiled apologetically. He put away his doubts and looked at Jin Yang, asking respectfully, “Sir, I’ll arrange for someone to tidy up the guest room and temporarily arrange for Miss Qiu to stay there. What do you think?”
