Chapter 881: Chapter 883: Don’t Worry, I’ve Got Everything Handled
Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming came out from Little Shitou’s mother’s room, planning to return to their own room, when they noticed that their door was open.
Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "Honey, did we forget to close the door when we left?"
Her question prompted Yang Ming to look towards their room, sharing the same confusion. He distinctly remembered closing the door when they stepped out.
The brief moment of bewilderment quickly brought them to their senses, with a bad premonition creeping in, they dashed towards their room.
Upon entering, they found the unfamiliar man holding their child.
Seeing Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming return, the man beamed with excitement, "Hey beautiful, you’re back!"
Xiaoxiao was infuriated by the man’s behavior. They barely even knew each other!
How could he enter someone else’s room without permission? Not a shred of courtesy.
Then again, if he had any manners, he wouldn’t be speaking so absurdly to them.
Xiaoxiao stepped forward, snatched Little Liufu from the man’s hands, and shouted angrily, "Who let you in?"
"Beautiful, I thought I’d help out since the child woke up, and it seemed like you were busy discussing something in that room."
"..." Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. Did this stranger overhear their plan to escape?
Xiaoxiao shouted again with anger, "Leave!"
"Beautiful, why are you yelling at me? I’m just kindly helping you with the child..."
The man continued to babble annoyingly, causing Yang Ming to frown as he grabbed the man and dragged him out.
"Whoa, hey, don’t pull me!"
"I still need to talk to the beautiful lady!"
"Let go of me!"
"..."
"..."
Listening to the man’s grating voice, Yang Ming smartened up this time and didn’t respond. Instead, he swiftly dragged the man out the door.
A loud thud was heard as the man was shut outside.
Outside, the man straightened his clothes, a grin tugging at his lips, and shouted inside, "Beautiful, you just rest for now. I’ll come find you later."
Inside, Xiaoxiao didn’t respond, but hearing his footsteps fade away, she hurriedly placed Little Liufu on the kang bed, checking him thoroughly, worried that the man might have done something to the child.
Seeing nothing unusual with the child, both of them felt relieved. Perhaps they were just overly anxious and reading too much into it.
"Honey, what do we do? I have a strong feeling that man will try to stop us from escaping tomorrow."
Xiaoxiao was genuinely worried that this person might interfere with their plan.
Logically, they were all in the same boat, but the man’s behavior was quite perplexing.
It felt as though he was just fooling around, not at all concerned about what might happen next.
This put Xiaoxiao in a dilemma over whether to recruit him into their escape plan, given that he was an able-bodied man which might increase their chances of escaping successfully.
"Wife, don’t worry, let’s just observe him for the next couple of days."
What Xiaoxiao thought was exactly what Yang Ming was considering too, but the man’s attitude towards his wife made him very averse to allying with him.
If he could, he preferred to escape alone with his wife and son.
"Alright, let’s just see how it goes." Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement; given the current situation, they had no other choice.
She just wondered if Shitou’s mother and her son would come along, constantly feeling a sense of unease about their escape the following day.
"Don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control." Yang Ming noticed his wife’s anxiety and comforted her.
