Erbao had just finished a painting when his butt felt like it was pricked by needles and he couldn't sit still.

He blinked his bright eyes, looked at the white swans swimming gracefully on the lake not far away, and shouted to his mother with longing on his face: "Mom, I really want to go over and see those beautiful swans!"

As he spoke, his eyes remained on the group of snow-white swans, as if he was already mesmerized by them and unable to extricate himself.

Xiao Miaomiao followed Erbao's line of sight, nodded with a smile, and gently said, "Okay, baby, then go and have a look, but remember, you can only stay in the pavilion and admire it, and don't go near the lake!"

"Also, you can ask Uncle Da to accompany you, so that mom can feel at ease." As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently touched Erbao's soft hair, her eyes full of pampering and care.

Erbao was very excited to get his mother's permission, and nodded obediently: "Okay!"

Then he carefully placed the paintbrush in his hand and carefully closed the paint caps one by one, then he jumped and ran towards the direction where Ah Da was.

Xiao Miaomiao watched Ah Da and Er Bao walking further and further away until their figures disappeared from her sight. Only then did she retract her gaze and refocus on the unfinished painting in front of her.

However, just as Erbao was running towards the pavilion by the lake with joy, he suddenly noticed that a strange man was staring at where his mother was.

Erbao felt suspicious and slowed down his pace involuntarily. He looked at the man warily with his big black eyes.

After a while, Erbao mustered up his courage, walked straight up to the man, put his hands on his hips, and asked angrily: "Why are you always staring at my mother? Who are you? I'm telling you, if you dare to look at me again, I'll go back and tell my dad."

Dabao and Erbao look quite similar to Li Jingcheng, but if you look closely, you can still catch some shadows of Xiao Miaomiao in them.

Erbao blinked his big, lively eyes and stared at Xiao Zhao curiously.

Xiao Zhao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Erbao with a gentle smile, and asked softly: "You are Erbao, right?"

However, Erbao did not answer him immediately, but just looked at Xiao Zhao quietly, as if thinking about something.

After a while, Erbao tilted his cute little head and said in a baby voice, "I think I've seen you somewhere."

At this moment, Erbao suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at Xiao Zhao and said loudly: "I remember! I saw you in the trash can! My second uncle threw your photo into the trash can and said that you are a bad guy who made my mother sad!"

After saying that, Erbao pouted and glared at Xiao Zhao with an unhappy look on his face.

When Xiao Zhao heard this, a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Then, Erbao unceremoniously ordered them to leave, waving his hands and yelling, "You bad boy, get out of here! My uncle said that you must not see my mother!"

As he spoke, Erbao stretched out his chubby little hands, trying to push Xiao Zhao away.

At this moment, Ada, who had been standing nearby, hurried forward and held Erbao in his arms.

Ah Da said to Xiao Zhao, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Xiao. Please leave now, or I really won't be able to explain to Mr. and Mrs. Xiao."

Xiao Zhao naturally understood that Erbao was dissatisfied with him. Helplessly, he could only look at Erbao deeply, then turned around and slowly left.

Looking at Xiao Zhao's receding back, Erbao turned around and asked Ada, who was holding him, in confusion: "Uncle Ada, who was that person just now? Why does uncle hate him so much?"

"He's just an irrelevant person. Remember not to tell your mother that you have met him, understand? Otherwise your mother will definitely be unhappy!" A Da looked at the second young master seriously and warned him earnestly.

"But... can I tell my dad? Uncle A Da, can you help me call my dad?" Erbao blinked his big eyes and looked at A Da expectantly, tugging at the corner of his clothes with his little hands.

"Okay." A Da nodded helplessly, then took Er Bao to the pavilion in the courtyard.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket, skillfully found Li Jingcheng's number and dialed it.

Li Jingcheng's anxious voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "A Da, has something happened to the madam?" Obviously, he was very worried about the situation at home.

"Uncle Ada, give me the phone quickly so I can talk to Dad!" Erbao shouted impatiently. Seeing this, Ada smiled and handed the phone to the little guy.

After Erbao took the phone, he excitedly shouted into the microphone: "Dad, I just saw a bad guy peeking at Mom!"

Hearing this, Li Jingcheng stood up from his chair and asked anxiously: "What bad guy? How is your mother now? Hurry up and give the phone to A Da!" As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the coat next to him, ready to go out to find out what was going on.

"Dad, don't worry. Mom is fine. She's not hurt at all. And I have successfully driven away the bad guy!" Erbao proudly reported the battle situation to his father, and then obediently handed the phone back to Ada.

Ah Da gently rubbed his forehead with his hand, then reached out to take the phone. After taking a deep breath, he slowly told her everything he had just seen about Xiao Zhao: "Madam didn't see him in person. Xiao Zhao just stood there and watched from a distance. He never came close, and now he has left."

A Da kept staring at Xiao Zhao intently, and only looked away when he was sure that he had really walked away and disappeared.

Hearing this, Li Jingcheng nodded to show that he understood, and then instructed Ah Da: "Okay, I understand. Please tell Erbao later that I already know about this matter."

At this moment, Li Jingcheng suddenly caught sight of Ou Heng walking into the room, so he ended the call and hung up.

"What's going on? Look, are you getting ready to go out?" Ou Heng strode in while speaking, and then sat down on the sofa without any courtesy.

"Well, it's not bad. Erbao just told Ada over the phone that he saw Xiao Zhao." Li Jingcheng turned his head and looked at Ou Heng to explain, "But why didn't you say hello before you came here today?"

Ou Heng smiled and responded, "That's not important! What's important is that there's finally some news about the painting you asked me to help you find."

"I have successfully invited someone to the hotel where we are staying. As for whether you can successfully get the painting, it depends on your sincerity!"

Ou Heng knew very well that Li Jingcheng wanted to buy the painting to give it to Xiao Miaomiao, so he did not buy it on his own.

"It's in a hotel nearby. Do you want to go over and take a look? Or how about I go and buy the things for you?" Ou Heng turned his gaze to him and asked softly.

At this time, Li Jingcheng had quickly put on the exquisitely tailored jacket, his movements as smooth and natural as flowing water.

He just nodded slightly and answered without hesitation: "Then let's go to the hotel."

Hearing this, Ou Heng’s mouth twitched unconsciously, and he muttered unhappily: “The one your family opened.

"Having said that, the two of them still set off together.

Coincidentally, it was almost dinner time when they went out.

Along the way, the two chatted idly and arrived at their destination unknowingly.

After the matter was settled, Ou Heng first politely escorted the person out of the hotel, then turned around and grabbed Li Jingcheng who was about to leave, and told the waiter to serve the food quickly.

However, at this moment, Li Jingcheng suddenly seemed to remember something important, and became a little absent-minded.

Seeing this, Ou Heng, who was standing nearby, quickly poured him a cup of steaming hot tea and handed it to him, asking with concern, "What's wrong with you? You look absent-minded. What are you thinking about?"

"I seem to have forgotten something important." Li Jingcheng muttered to himself while looking straight at the person opposite him.

At this moment, a crisp cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, breaking the brief silence.

Li Jingcheng looked carefully and found that it was his wife calling. He quickly reached out and pressed the answer button.

"Jingcheng, where's Dabao? Have you two eaten? What did you eat? Don't feed him any greasy food! He's only had a fever for two days, so he has to eat lighter food recently."

Xiao Miaomiao's concerned and anxious voice came from the receiver.

Hearing this, Ou Heng, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but lean over and asked anxiously, "Dabao? Dabao went to the company with you? Why didn't you bring the child with you when we left the hotel?"

"Also, when I went to your office, you didn't say Dabao was there." Facing Ou Heng's rapid-fire questions.

Li Jingcheng felt his face getting hot, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times involuntarily. Finally, he could only smile bitterly and replied, "I actually forgot about this."

He rushed out as soon as he heard the news about the painting, and even forgot about Dabao.

Seeing this, Ou Heng couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, secretly sighing in his heart, "You are really good."

Xiao Miaomiao heard that Li Jingcheng went to the hotel with Ou Heng and forgot to bring Dabao out.

"Is Dabao alone in the company's lounge now?" Xiao Miaomiao asked worriedly.

"It should be. I'll ask someone to check it out right away." Li Jingcheng did not expect to encounter this.
