An Xin looked at the person in front of her in shock, still not fully awake from her dream.
"Xin'er, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Chen Xiaohui asked with concern.
Upon hearing Chen Xiaohui's voice, An Xin finally snapped out of it. With a cry, she threw herself into Chen Xiaohui's arms.
Her body trembled with fear.
Chen Xiaohui held An Xin tightly, constantly reassuring her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It was just a bad dream. Once you wake up, everything will be fine. There, there, don't cry."
Under Chen Xiaohui's comforting, An Xin gradually calmed down and stopped trembling.
Chen Xiaohui gently patted An Xin's back, humming a lullaby to lull her to sleep.
An Xin held onto the corner of Chen Xiaohui's clothes tightly, refusing to let go even as she fell asleep.
Seeing the tears in the corners of her daughter's eyes, Chen Xiaohui felt a deep sense of distress.
Once An Xin was sound asleep, Chen Xiaohui gently released her daughter's grip on her clothes, got out of bed quietly, and went to Li Man's room.
"What happened just now? I think I heard An Xin calling out," Li Man asked with concern, lying on the bed.
"She had a nightmare," Chen Xiaohui replied as she lay down on Li Man's bed.
Li Man shifted to the side slightly, "I noticed that something seemed off with An Xin tonight. She seemed listless."
"Yeah, I was worried that she might be sick. I wanted to touch her forehead to check, but as soon as I reached out, she woke up in fright."
Li Man's brows furrowed lightly, "Could it be that she hasn't fully recovered from Wang Jun Feng's shadow?"
"I don't think so. She's been fine these past few days."
"Why don't you give her teacher a call tomorrow to see if there's something happening at school?"
Chen Xiaohui glanced at the clock on the table. It was already half past ten, quite late. She would have to wait until tomorrow to make the call.
"Oh, by the way, have you finalized your divorce with Wang Jun Feng?" Li Man asked.
"No, I blocked his calls after he kept cursing at me. I haven't had any contact with him since."
"Are you just going to leave it like that?"
"I'll deal with it later. I really don't want to see him right now."
"Well, you should still file for divorce soon. It's not good to drag it out."
"Yeah, I know. But there's no property to divide between us, his money is his, and I don't care about it. I don't have any money of my own, so I don't have to worry about him scheming to take my assets. Besides, we don't have any children together. The divorce is just a formality."
"If you decide to meet him, let me come with you. I'm worried you might get taken advantage of alone," Li Man said, concerned.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring you along." After a pause, Chen Xiaohui asked, "By the way, have they found Xiao Xiao yet?"
"No," Li Man shook her head and said, "I suspect Huang De Han kidnapped her, but I've been keeping an eye on him recently and haven't noticed anything unusual. He's been happily spending time with his mistress every day."
"Did you go and track Huang De Han?" Chen XiaoHui sat up, surprised, and looked at Li Man.
"Yes, I've been following him these past few days," Li Man admitted honestly.
"Then did you find anything?"
"No, I think maybe I suspected him wrongly," Li Man furrowed her brow and said.
Chen XiaoHui lay back down and comforted, "Oh well, maybe Xiao Xiao really was kidnapped by someone."
