Xia Yunsheng's gaze first fell on the child. She walked over, and the little Tricky, nestled in Secretary Song's arms, eagerly reached out for a hug when he saw Xia Yunsheng.
Xia Yunsheng scooped up her long-unseen son and asked Secretary Song, "Has the Commander returned?"
"Probably in a little while."
"I heard someone got injured. What happened?"
"Uh..." Secretary Song hesitated. "It's Hai Ling'er. She's seriously hurt."
Xia Yunsheng hadn't expected to hear the name Hai Ling'er once again.
What she couldn't understand was how Hai Ling'er's injury had anything to do with Cheng Yanzhi coming back late.
Even Secretary Song had already returned, yet Cheng Yanzhi hadn't.
Secretary Song said, "He should be back before evening."
"So he's staying with Hai Ling'er now?"
"Mainly because her injury is severe. There's no real alternative."
"..." Xia Yunsheng found the explanation weak. She glanced at Secretary Song before finally laughing self-deprecatingly.
