Shen Nian kept comforting herself. 'The more urgent this gets, the less I can afford to be nervous or impatient. I absolutely have to come up with a foolproof plan!'
'If only Lu Cheng were here right now. He'd definitely be able to resolve this perfectly!'
As the thought crossed her mind, Shen Nian realized that Lu Cheng had, without her even noticing, come to occupy such an important place in her heart.
'No,' she thought. 'Even if Lu Cheng isn't by my side, I can't be weak. I have to find the best way to handle this.'
She looked up at the middle-aged man across from her. After shouting at the little boy, he hadn't said another word. He didn't even glance in Shen Nian's direction again, looking as if he were deliberately avoiding something.
As for the little boy who had been crying just moments before, he had, at some point, closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
